Inclusive leadership and job satisfaction in Omani higher education: the mediation of psychological ownership and employee thriving
Authors: Dahleez Khalid Abed , Aboramadan Mohammed , Abdelfattah Fadi 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThrough the lens of social exchange and self-determination theories, this paper proposes and tests a model to explore how inclusive leadership practices foster employee job satisfaction at higher education institutions. It also explores the intervening roles of psychological ownership and employee thriving in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThis study followed a positivist worldview and a quantitative methodology. The authors collected data from a sample of 329 academic and nonacademic staff working at Omani higher education institutions. The authors utilized partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to examine the model and test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThis study's findings reveal that inclusive leadership is related to job satisfaction. They also show that psychological ownership and employee thriving mediate between inclusive leadership and job satisfaction at Omani academic institutions.Practical implicationsSince employees at Omani academic institutions come from different cultures, academic leaders should manage and promote inclusiveness by developing and enforcing relevant policies. They should carefully select the workforce that stimulates growth and effectiveness, create an atmosphere to foster acceptance and exchange of ideas, improve performance appraisal practices, and embed inclusiveness in their vision and mission.Originality/valueThis research helps researchers and practitioners better understand how inclusiveness fosters vitality and learning in the higher education sector. It also sheds more light on how psychological ownership and employee thriving mediate between inclusive leadership and job satisfaction. This research is also important due to its context, as it was implemented in a multicultural environment with a diverse workforce.
The exchange rate, income, trade openness and the trade balance: longitudinal panel analysis for selected SSA countries
Authors: Abille Adamu Braimah , Meçik Oytun 
Published: July 2023

Purpose Motivated by recent rapid exchange rate depreciations, shrank economic growth, high inflation, and persistent trade deficits, this study examines the trade balance (TB) in the face of the recent dynamics of the stated macroeconomic factors, which are also important determinants of the TB. The symmetric test of the J-curve phenomenon for the selected Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries is revisited in this regard. The study uses panel data from 1970 to 2020 for ten of these countries for the longitudinal panel analysis with the TB as the dependent variable and the real exchange rate, foreign and domestic national incomes, and trade openness as the set of independent variables.Design/methodology/approach Because the underlying data set involves a heterogeneous panel of relatively short N and long T, the pooled mean group (PMG) and mean group (MG) heterogeneous panel models are employed based on the Hausman test for parameter consistency in heterogeneous panels.Findings The findings largely support the domestic income growth– TB worsening and the foreign income growth– TB improvement hypotheses. Trade openness is found to mostly augment the TB performance of the countries. The results also validated the J-curve effect for only 3/10 and 2/10 countries in the PMG and MG models, respectively. The divergence for most of the countries is attributed to possible import compression and institutional structure of SSA countries.Practical implications Given the favorable effects of trade openness on the TB performance of SSA countries, it is recommended that SSA countries place much emphasis on import-substitution industrialization and value addition to their natural resources as well as investment-driven growth policies to improve the competitiveness of their exports and reverse the chronic deficits in their TBs.Originality/value This paper is unique for invoking heterogeneous panel models to analyze the TB in light of recent dynamics of its determinants, as well as providing an update on the symmetric test of the J-curve phenomenon for the selected SSA countries.
Determinants of working capital management for emerging markets firms: evidence from the MENA region

Published: July 2023

PurposeThis study examines the impact of firm-specific and macroeconomic factors on the working capital behavior of firms listed in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on a panel data analysis of 687 firms listed on 11 MENA markets, carried out using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach.FindingsThe results of this study reveal that profitable firms with high levels of operating cash flows adopt a conservative working capital management. Young firms with rapid growth rates, highly leveraged firms and firms with large investments in fixed assets have higher liquidity needs, which explains their tendency to pursue aggressive working capital strategies. Similarly, large firms exercise their bargaining power over their clients and suppliers to implement an aggressive approach of working capital management. Finally, firms do not have the luxury to decide how working capital should be managed when they are subject to outside macroeconomic forces that affect their stakeholders as well.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study can help managers adopt efficient practices and identify optimal working capital levels. Firms in the MENA region maintain excess reserves of cash, which causes under-investment and inefficient allocation of resources in the economy. Improving working capital management practices can allow firms to regain operational efficiency, enhance financial performance and support economic growth.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study investigates this topic in MENA emerging markets and contributes to enriching the existing corporate finance literature in emerging markets.
The influencing factors of personality that affect entrepreneurship development among people with disabilities
Authors: Samer Ali Al-Shami , Rashid Abdu Azim 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
Entrepreneurial personalities have been widely recognised as important drivers for the development of entrepreneurial competencies, which are the skills, knowledge and abilities that enable entrepreneurs to start and grow successful businesses. Yet, there has been relatively little research focused specifically on entrepreneurial personalities that influence entrepreneurial competencies among people with physical disabilities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the entrepreneurial personalities among people with disabilities (PWDs) and explain how they influence several aspects of entrepreneurial capabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative approach, namely, phenomenological approach, has been conducted; meanwhile, a total of 12 respondents were interviewed as the data has reached the saturation level.

Findings
The findings revealed that successful PWDs entrepreneurs possess a range of traits and characteristics that contribute to their success, which include need for achievement, internal drives, external factors, extraversion and openness. These factors drive the enhancement of the PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities.

Originality/value
Essentially, this study is one of the few studies that suggests that an integrative personality model influences PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities and their business development. This model takes into account the unique experiences and challenges faced by PWDs, which help to better understand the traits and characteristics that contribute to their success as entrepreneurs.
From pandemic to war: dynamics of volatility spillover between BRICS exchange and stock markets
Authors: Kumar Mohit 
Published: July 2023

Purpose To estimate the volatility of exchange and stock markets and examine its spillover within and across the member countries of BRICS during COVID-19 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.Design/methodology/approach The study utilizes the “dynamic conditional correlation-generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (DCC-GARCH)” approach of Gabauer (2020). The volatility of the markets is calculated following the approach of Parkinson (1980). The sample dataset comprises the daily volatility of the stock and exchange markets for 35 months, from November 2019 to September 2022.FindingsThe study confirms the existence of contagion effects among member countries. Volatility spillover between exchange and stock markets is low within the country but substantial across borders. Russian contribution increased significantly during the conflict with Ukraine, and other countries also witnessed a surge in the spillover index during the pandemic and war.Research limitations/implications It adds to the body of literature by emphasizing the necessity of comprehending the economies' behavior and interdependence. Offers insightful information to decision-makers who must be more watchful regarding the financial crisis and its regional spillover.Originality/valueThe study is the first to explore the contagion of volatility among the BRICS countries during the two biggest crisis periods of the decade.

PurposeConsumer forgiveness is an important concept in service failure and recovery research. To advance knowledge and develop future research agenda in this domain, this paper provides a systematic review of the literature on factors influencing consumer forgiveness while adopting the customer journey perspective.Design/methodology/approachUsing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted of 102 peer-reviewed journal articles, on factors influencing consumer forgiveness, published between January 2000 and December 2020.FindingsThe authors' analysis offers a detailed account of the factors influencing consumer forgiveness across the three stages of the service journey: pre-transgression, transgression and recovery. From the review, the authors identified significant gaps relating to the interactions between the relevant factors influencing forgiveness throughout the various stages of the consumer service journey. Based on the findings, the authors offer several research questions to help managers optimize customer forgiveness following a service failure throughout each stage of consumer service journey.Originality/valueThe authors' review synthesizes the literature on factors contributing to consumer forgiveness and integrates these factors into the customer service journey. The authors' findings inform directions for future research and provide insights regarding the measures that service providers should take to understand and encourage consumer forgiveness.
‘Furnisht with such members as are after a sort burthensome unto them’: White Traveller Perceptions of Black Male Bodies and the Construction of Race, 1450–1730
Authors: Lussana Sergio 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article explores how European travellers to Africa perceived African masculinity, the male body and sexuality during the period of 1450–1730. It argues that their observations helped Europeans construct early notions of racial difference at a time when skin colour was not the most important marker of difference classifying people. It draws upon a range of European accounts of their voyages and encounters with Africans from 1450 to 1730. It mostly analyses English narratives, but it also examines Portuguese, Dutch and French accounts that were translated into English at the time and read by English audiences.
On the challenge of unambiguous identification of fentanyl analogs: Exploring measurement diversity using standard reference mass spectral libraries

Published: July 2023

AbstractFentanyl analogs are a class of designer drugs that are particularly challenging to unambiguously identify due to the mass spectral and retention time similarities of unique compounds. In this paper, we use agglomerative hierarchical clustering to explore the measurement diversity of fentanyl analogs and better understand the challenge of unambiguous identifications using analytical techniques traditionally available to drug chemists. We consider four measurements in particular: gas chromatography retention indices, electron ionization mass spectra, electrospray ionization tandem mass spectra, and direct analysis in real time mass spectra. Our analysis demonstrates how simultaneously considering data from multiple measurement techniques increases the observable measurement diversity of fentanyl analogs, which can reduce identification ambiguity. This paper further supports the use of multiple analytical techniques to identify fentanyl analogs (among other substances), as is recommended by the Scientific Working Group for the Analysis of Seized Drugs (SWGDRUG).
Application of mist to fingermark detection: Misting with high‐boiling‐point liquid containing p‐dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde and cyanoacrylate

Published: July 2023

AbstractIn order to detect latent fingerprints that could be damaged by liquid or powder reagents, non‐destructive processes such as gaseous reagents have been developed. In this report, we propose the use of fine mist generated when hot vapor of high‐boiling‐point liquids is rapidly cooled by surrounding air for fingermark detection. Octyl acetate (OA), 2‐phenoxyethanol (2PE), and methyl decanoate (MD) were found to efficiently produce mist when heated to 230°C. By combining these liquids with p‐dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC) and cyanoacrylate (CN), our team demonstrated effective fluorescence staining of cyano‐treated fingermarks using DMAC/OA misting or DMAC/2PE misting, and one‐step fluorescence detection of latent fingermarks without cyanoacrylate treatment using DMAC/OA/CN misting or DMAC/MD/CN misting. Fingermark fluorescence was efficiently observed by excitation with a blue LED light (max. wavelength 470 nm) equipped with an interference filter and passing through a 520 nm long‐pass filter. We successfully obtained fluorescent images from fingermarks on several substrate materials using the developed misting method.

Published: July 2023

AbstractMonogenic causes are increasingly being recognized in patients with lupus, especially in early‐onset disease. We herein report a boy with a novel mutation in the DNase 2 (DNASE2) gene presenting with monogenic lupus. A 6‐year‐old boy with a global developmental delay with microcephaly presented with chronic febrile illness with anemia, rash, polyarthritis, renal involvement, and hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory investigations revealed positive antinuclear antibody, high anti‐dsDNA antibody titers, hypocomplementemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, nephrotic range proteinuria, and diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed altered signal intensity in subcortical white matter in bilateral fronto‐parieto‐temporal lobes. Targeted next‐generation sequencing revealed a novel pathogenic variant in DNASE2. He was treated with oral prednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, and hydroxychloroquine and is doing well on follow up. DNASE2 deficiency has been reported as a rare genetic cause of monogenic lupus. DNASE2 deficiency should be suspected in patients with early‐onset lupus with polyarthritis, erythematous rash, and neurological involvement.
Continuing professional development (CPD) for anesthetists: A systematic review
Authors: Petersen John Asger , Bray Lucy , Østergaard Doris 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundIn accordance with the focus on patient safety and quality in healthcare, continuing professional development (CPD) has received increasing levels of attention as a means to ensure physicians maintain their clinical competencies and are fit to practice. There is some evidence of a beneficial effect of CPD, though few studies have evaluated its effect within anesthesia. The primary aim of this systematic review was to establish which CPD activities anesthetists are engaged in and their effectiveness. The secondary aim was to explore which methods are employed to evaluate anesthetists’ clinical performance.MethodsDatabases searched: Medline, Embase and Web of Science, in May 2023. Additional papers were identified through searching the references of included studies. Eligible studies included anesthetists, either exclusively or combined with other healthcare professionals, who underwent a learning activity or assessment method as part of a formalized CPD program or a stand‐alone activity. Non‐English language studies, non‐peer reviewed studies and studies published prior to 2000 were excluded. Eligible studies were quality assessed and narratively synthesized, with results presented as descriptive summaries.ResultsA total of 2112 studies were identified, of which 63 were eligible for inclusion, encompassing more than 137,518 participants. Studies were primarily of quantitative design and medium quality. Forty‐one studies reported outcomes of single learning activities, whilst 12 studies investigated different roles of assessment methods in CPD and ten studies evaluated CPD programs or combined CPD activities. A 36 of the 41 studies reported positive effects of single learning activities. Investigations of assessment methods revealed evidence of inadequate performance amongst anesthetists and a mixed effect of feedback. Positive attitudes and high levels of engagement were identified for CPD programs, with some evidence of a positive impact on patient/organizational outcomes.DiscussionAnesthetists are engaged in a variety of CPD activities, with evidence of high levels of satisfaction and a positive learning effect. However, the impact on clinical practice and patient outcomes remains unclear and the role of assessment is less well‐defined. There is a need for further, high‐quality studies, evaluating a broader range of outcomes, in order to identify which methods are most effective to train and assess specialists in anesthesia.

AbstractBackgroundChildhood trauma (CT) is associated with severe sequelae, including stress‐related mental health disorders that can perpetuate long into adulthood. A key mechanism in this relationship seems to be emotion regulation. We aimed to investigate (1) whether childhood trauma is associated with anger in adulthood, and, if so, (2) to explore which types of childhood trauma predominate in the prediction of anger in a cohort that included participants with and without current affective disorders.MethodsIn the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA), childhood trauma was assessed with a semi‐structured Childhood Trauma Interview (CTI) at baseline, and analyzed in relation to anger as measured at a 4‐year follow‐up with the Spielberger Trait Anger Subscale (STAS), the Anger Attacks Questionnaire, and cluster B personality traits (i.e., borderline, antisocial) of the Personality Disorder Questionnaire 4 (PDQ‐4), using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Post hoc analyses comprised cross‐sectional regression analyses, using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire‐Short Form (CTQ‐SF) also obtained at a 4‐year follow‐up.ResultsParticipants (n = 2271) were on average 42.1 years (SD = 13.1), and 66.2% were female. Childhood trauma showed a dose–response association with all anger constructs. All types of childhood trauma were significantly associated with borderline personality traits, independently of depression and anxiety. Additionally, all types of childhood trauma except for sexual abuse were associated with higher levels of trait anger, and a higher prevalence of anger attacks and antisocial personality traits in adulthood. Cross‐sectionally, the effect sizes were larger compared with the analyses with the childhood trauma measured 4 years prior to the anger measures.ConclusionsChildhood trauma is linked with anger in adulthood, which could be of particular interest in the context of psychopathology. Focus on childhood traumatic experiences and adulthood anger may help to enhance the effectiveness of treatment for patients with depressive and anxiety disorders. Trauma‐focused interventions should be implemented when appropriate.

ResumenA pesar de su importancia ecológica y económica, en Chile se desconocen muchos aspectos de la ecología de los murciélagos y de su distribución. Esta situación no permite una correcta implementación de los esfuerzos de conservación aún cuando son legalmente reconocidos por sus beneficios para la agricultura. En este trabajo estudiamos la actividad y la comunidad de murciélagos en dos tipos de paisaje agrícola (homogéneo vs. heterogéneo) en un hotspot de biodiversidad en el centro‐sur de Chile. Para ello, monitoreamos cuatro transectos de 10 km en cada tipo de paisaje, con 10 puntos de escucha separados por 1 km. Estos transectos se repitieron 5 veces, una vez al mes. Evaluamos la actividad de los murciélagos según el tipo de cobertura forestal (nativa, mixta y plantaciones) y la densidad de árboles aislados. Nuestros resultados mostraron que el paisaje heterogéneo fue dominado por Tadarida brasiliensis mientras que el paisaje homogéneo fue dominado por Lasiurus spp. Sin embargo, sólo la especie T. brasiliensis fue afectada por el tipo de paisaje. En el paisaje heterogéneo, sólo las variables de cobertura forestal tuvieron un impacto significativo en la actividad de las especies de murciélagos, donde Lasiurus spp. y Myotis chiloensis tuvieron una respuesta positiva para bosque nativo y mixto, así como Lasiurus spp. tuvo una respuesta negativa para plantaciones. La densidad de árboles aislados tuvo un efecto negativo sobre la actividad de T. brasiliensis y Lasiurus spp. en el tipo de paisaje homogéneo. Nuestros resultados muestran la importancia de considerar los elementos forestales en el paisaje agroforestal para conservar las comunidades de murciélagos.
