Effects of improvisational behavior on entrepreneurial activities and firm performance: the moderating roles of firm size and business experience
Authors: Ratanavanich Muanfhun , Charoensukmongkol Peerayuth 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the effect of entrepreneurs’ improvisational behavior on business risk-taking and opportunity recognition, as well as to analyze its subsequent impact on firm performance. Moreover, this study examined whether the effect of entrepreneurs’ improvisational behavior on business risk-taking and opportunity recognition could be moderated by firm size and the business experience of entrepreneurs.

Design/methodology/approach
Online survey data were collected from 304 firms in Thailand that were randomly selected from a business directory. The data were assessed using partial least squares structural modeling.

Findings
The results confirmed that entrepreneurs who exhibited high levels of improvisational behavior tended to report that their firms engaged more actively in risk-taking and opportunity recognition. Moreover, risk-taking and opportunity recognition played a chain mediating effect in explaining the association between the improvisational behavior of entrepreneurs and firm performance. Regarding the moderating effects, this paper found that firm size negatively moderated the effect of improvisational behavior on risk-taking and opportunity recognition, while business experience of entrepreneurs only positively moderated the effect of improvisational behavior on risk-taking.

Originality/value
This study provided new knowledge by showing that improvisational behavior of entrepreneurs should be integrated with other firm advantages determined by firm size and the business experience of entrepreneurs to strengthen the ability to be more effective at risk-taking and opportunity recognition.

Disentangling the concept of comparability in sustainability reporting
Authors: Korca Blerita , Costa Ericka , Bouten Lies 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
As the comparability concept has recently garnered increased attention of policymakers and standard setters in the sustainability reporting (SR) arena, this paper aims to provide a reflexive viewpoint of this concept in this context.

Design/methodology/approach
To inform the authors’ viewpoint and disentangle the concept of comparability into different facets, the authors review policymakers’ and standard setters’ (including the Global reporting initiative) comparability principles, as well as relevant studies in the field. To provide insights into the different ways in which the comparability facets can be approached, the authors use multi-perspective reflexive practices and focus on the multiple purposes that reporting can serve. To empirically animate the authors’ reflection on the facets, the authors analyse the sustainability disclosures of two Italian banks over three years.

Findings
This study reveals that three facets form valuable starting points for extending the understanding of the meanings the comparability concept can carry in the SR arena. These facets are materiality and comparability, benchmarking/monitoring and comparability and operationalisation and comparability.

Practical implications
This study is intended to elicit policymakers’ and standard setters’ thoughts on the role of comparability and its complexities in SR.

Social implications
By taking a critical and reflexive approach, the authors encourage policymakers and standard setters to reconsider the comparability principle, so it effectively embeds the accountability purpose of SR.

Originality/value
In this paper, the authors propose three facets for disentangling the concept of comparability.
Social workers' perspectives on the role and function of independent experts in care proceedings in Norway: Contributions and devaluation
Authors: Greve Rakel Aasheim , Christiansen Øivin , Jørgensen Tone 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIndependent experts are commonly used in child protection care proceedings to assess families and contribute to a sound basis for care order decisions. Yet the role and function of these experts varies across contexts, with issues raised concerning the quality and impact of their reports. Based on six focus group discussions (FGDs) with child welfare service (CWS) social workers in Norway, this study aims to advance the understanding of how independent experts are used when it comes to child protection. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted, which revealed that the social workers mostly found the experts' contributions useful in that they provide a fresh pair of eyes and reduce the complexities in a case. However, the use of independent experts also had some negative aspects. The social workers experienced that their competence was undermined in court and had some experience working with experts whose work was of poor quality, which was unrecognized by quality control measures. This study raises timely questions about the role of the expert and suggests a clearer distinction between the function of providing expert knowledge to complement the social workers' assessments and the function of providing an independent assessment of the family on behalf of the courts.
Low‐value wound care: Are nurses and physicians choosing wisely? A mixed methods study
Authors: Verkerk Eva W. , Waal Getty Huisman‐de , Overtoom Lydia C. , Westert Gert P. , Vermeulen Hester , Kool Rudolf B. , van Dulmen Simone A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundChoosing Wisely is an international movement that stimulates conversations about unnecessary care. The campaign created five recommendations including a statement that less wound care is sometimes better.AimsThe study aims to evaluate nurses' and physicians' adherence to the Choosing Wisely recommendations for acute wound care in the Netherlands and the barriers and facilitators to improve this.DesignThis is a mixed methods study using a survey and interviews.MethodsThe survey was completed by 171 nurses and 71 physicians from November 2017 to February 2018. A total of 17 nurses and 6 physicians were interviewed.ResultsAwareness of the five recommendations ranged from 62% to 89% for nurses and 46% to 85% for physicians. However, up to 15% of the nurses and 28% of physicians were aware but did not adhere to the recommendations. Barriers to adhering were a lack of knowledge, the work environment and perceptions of patients' preferences. Repeated attention, cost‐consciousness and an open culture facilitated the implementation.ConclusionAlthough most nurses and physicians were aware of the recommendations, not all adhered to them. Increasing awareness is not enough for successful implementation. A tailored approach that removes the barriers is necessary, such as increasing knowledge about wounds and changing the work environment.
Women's autonomy for managing labour pain in a relational context: An interpretive description study
Authors: Jose Henrique Angelita , Rodney Patricia , Hall Wendy , Thorne Sally , Joolaee Soodabeh 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAimTo describe how women perceived relational autonomy for decision‐making during childbirth pain and illuminate influencing factors.BackgroundMost women report challenging pain during birth. Circumstances can affect their ability to engage in pain management decisions.DesignWe used an interpretative description approach to conduct this study.MethodA purposive sample of ten women who reported pain during childbirth participated in semi‐structured interviews. The study was conducted between July 2019 and November 2020 and reported according to the COREQ checklist.ResultsCircumstances during childbirth, such as women's expectations and relationships, influenced their efforts to engage in relational autonomy. Care providers dealt with the unpredictability of childbirth and challenges with pain management using decision‐making practices that could disrupt women's expectations, undermine women's trust, demonstrate disrespect for women and rely on inadequate communication. Women who felt dependent on others were less likely to participate in decision‐making. When care providers' perceptions about pain differed from women's reports of pain, participants became distressed because care providers did not acknowledge their subjective pain experiences.ConclusionsWomen regarded their relationships and communication with care providers as foundational to relational autonomy in decision‐making about pain management during childbirth.Relevance to clinical practiceStudy findings can support care providers' considerations of the complexity of childbirth pain and factors affecting women's relational autonomy in decision‐making about pain. In particular, the findings highlight the importance of women's expectations and care providers' recognition of women's experiences of pain.Patient or public contributionWomen who shared their stories of childbirth pain contributed to the data collected. The chief nursing officers in the data collection setting facilitated the recruitment and data collection.
Conceptual wanderlust: How to develop creative supply chain theory with analogies
Authors: Gruner Richard L. , Power Damien 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis article guides the development of creative insights in supply chain management. The authors begin by describing analogies' role in advancing organization theory with a focus on image transfers between knowledge domains. While much has been said about the merits of conceptual transfers between domains, much equally remains unknown, particularly about how to deliberately develop creative insights that have the potential to challenge or enhance existing supply chain management theory. To address this issue, this research builds on prior work on analogies, creativity, and design thinking to develop a heuristic‐analytic model. This model is designed to assist researchers in theorizing by analogy through a controlled dual cognitive process of divergence before convergence combined with a distant boundary‐spanning knowledge search. An illustration of the model shows how creative output can provide a fresh perspective that helps render supply chains potentially more resilient.

Published: June 2023

BackgroundFocusing on older people with and without an intimate partner, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of low life satisfaction in both groups, as well as the potential risk factors.MethodsThe 2017–2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) data were used, and 9960 individuals aged 60 years and above were included in the analyses. Factors evaluated in this survey included sociodemographic characteristics, clinical variables, physical and social activities, and economic and social factors. The associations of low life satisfaction with independent variables were analysed using multivariate logistic regression.ResultsCompared with those with an intimate partner (n = 2025), elders without an intimate partner (n = 7935) showed a higher prevalence of low life satisfaction (15.1 vs. 9.9%, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression showed that ≥2 physical diseases (P = 0.024), poor self‐reported health status (P = 0.012), and lack of community care service (P = 0.014) were risk factors for low life satisfaction among elders without an intimate partner, while poor self‐reported health status (P < 0.001), ≥2 physical diseases (P = 0.001), being troubled with bodily pain (P < 0.001), lack of light physical activity >10 mins each time (P = 0.011), lack of moderate physical activity >10 mins each time (P = 0.001), lack of social activities in the previous month (P = 0.039), and lack of community care service (P < 0.001) were risk factors for elders with an intimate partner. Regarding the potential reasons for low life satisfaction in the elderly, dissatisfaction with current health status (28.0%) and air quality (15.6%) were most prevalent.ConclusionsOlder people without an intimate partner have lower life satisfaction. Having ≥2 physical diseases, poor self‐reported health status, and lack of community care service were common risk factors for low life satisfaction among older adults with or without an intimate partner.

The hows and whys of amastigote flagellum motility in
Trypanosoma cruzi
Authors: Alves Aline Araujo , Bastin Philippe 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

The protist
Trypanosoma cruzi
exhibits several extracellular stages characterized by the presence of a long and motile flagellum and one intracellular life cycle stage termed amastigote, which possesses a tiny flagellum barely exiting the flagellar pocket. This stage was so far described as replicative but immotile cells. Unexpectedly, the recent work of M. M. Won, T. Krüger, M. Engstler, and B. A. Burleigh (mBio 14:e03556-22, 2023,
https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03556-22
) revealed that this short flagellum actually displays beating activity. This commentary explores how such a short flagellum could be constructed and why it could affect the parasite’s survival inside the mammalian host.

Heights via $$p$$-Adic Points
Authors: Bloch Spencer 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In a paper published in 1980, the author gave an adelic Tamagawa number interpretation for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for divisors on abelian varieties. Some years later, in joint work with K. Kato, a more general adelic volume interpretation for zeta values of motives with weights $${<}\,{-1}$$ was proposed. In the paper at hand, the adelic volume Tamagawa number conjecture is generalized to deal with weight $$-1$$. As in the paper with Kato, adelic points of varieties are replaced by cohomology with adelic coefficients. Further, we introduce adelic tori over the adelic cohomology groups to mimic the Néron–Severi tori in the 1980 paper.
Embeddings of Automorphism Groups of Free Groups into Automorphism Groups of Affine Algebraic Varieties
Authors: Popov V. L. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
For every integer $$n>0$$, we construct a new infinite series of rational affine algebraic varieties such that their automorphism groups contain the automorphism group $$\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$$ of the free group $$F_n$$ of rank $$n$$ and the braid group $$B_n$$ on $$n$$ strands. The automorphism groups of such varieties are nonlinear for $$n\geq 3$$ and are nonamenable for $$n\geq 2$$. As an application, we prove that every Cremona group of rank $${\geq}\,3n-1$$ contains the groups $$\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$$ and $$B_n$$. This bound is $$1$$ better than the bound published earlier by the author; with respect to $$B_n$$, the order of its growth rate is one less than that of the bound following from a paper by D. Krammer. The construction is based on triples $$(G,R,n)$$, where $$G$$ is a connected semisimple algebraic group and $$R$$ is a closed subgroup of its maximal torus.
Loop enhancement of direct detection cross section in a fermionic dark matter model
Authors: Maleki Khadije Rahi , Ghorbani Karim 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe investigate the effect of one loop quantum corrections on the elastic scattering of dark matter off the nucleon in a fermionic dark matter model. The model introduces two new singlet fermions and a singlet scalar. The fermions communicate with the SM particles through a Higgs portal. It is found that some viable regions in the parameter space respecting the bounds from the observed relic density, the Higgs invisible decay width, and direct detection experiment, will be shrunk significantly when one loop effects are taken into account. The regions already resided below the neutrino floor, partly may come into regions which are testable by the current or future direct detection experiments. In addition, some regions being viable at tree level, may be excluded when quantum corrections are included.

Abstract
Madagascar’s high rates of endemism, paired with its escalating deforestation rates, has made it one of the most important conservation priorities on the planet. In southeastern Madagascar, the Corridor Forestier d’Ambositra Vondrozo (COFAV) is an unprotected rainforest corridor that sustains ∼15 species of lemurs, most of which are endangered. The COFAV connects many protected areas and is therefore essential for gene flow, dispersal, and the long-term sustainability of animal populations in the area. The corridor has not been surveyed extensively since the 1990s, and even so, only a fraction of the sites have been sampled multiple times. The goal of our study was to survey the COFAV, from Ranomafana National Park to the Mananara River, to provide updated species occurrences and ranges. Combining data across multiple teams using different inventorying methods, we surveyed a total area of 227 km2 throughout an eight-month period. We recorded every lemur occurrence (sighting or vocalization) and noted the species, date, time, group size, and GPS coordinates. We found 11 lemur species and one putative hybrid species. The geographic ranges for three species (Hapalemur aureus, H. griseus, Propithecus edwardsi) were larger than previously thought. The range of Varecia variegata should be shortened and adjusted accordingly, as the species appears transient (at best) in the northern parts of Ranomafana National Park and was not found south of the Ambohimahamasina/Ikongo region. This study provides updated geographic ranges for lemur species in the COFAV, important information for future censuses, species assessments, and conservation measures for future implementation.
