Public administration education towards Sustainable Development Goals: psychometric analysis of a scale
Authors: Lendínez-Turón Ana , Domínguez-Valerio Cándida María , Orgaz-Agüera Francisco , Moral-Cuadra Salvador 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this research paper is to adapt and validate a useful instrument to diagnose the knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and intention to participate (KABIP) towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education institutions (HEIs) from the public administration in developing countries.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was carried out using the Delphi technique, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). For the Delphi method, 30 experts participated in three rounds. For the EFA and CFA, a sample of 790 people was selected. The instrument items were extracted from relevant scales on the topic.

Findings
The reliability and internal consistency of the instrument were tested and confirmed. Therefore, this study gives a scientific tool to measure the KABIP towards SDGs in different sectors of the public administration, and it can be used in developing countries.

Originality/value
The new questionnaire with 66 items and four dimensions can be used to diagnose KABIP towards SDGs at HEIs in developing countries. It has a very important implications because, although attention for SDGs around the world is increasing, only a limited number of valid scientific instrument that measure aspects related to it is available. Furthermore, the knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and intention to participate scale can facilitate the creation of new strategies regarding SDGs in developing countries.
Enhancing supply chain competences through supply chain digital embeddedness: an institutional view
Authors: López-Morales Beatriz , Gutierrez Leopoldo , Llorens-Montes Francisco Javier , Rojo-Gallego-Burin Araceli 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This study aims to test how three types of institutional pressure (normative, coercive, and mimetic) influence supply chain digital embeddedness (SCDE) and how SCDE benefits supply chain (SC) competences.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors develop and test hypotheses through structural equation modeling (SEM) based on data from 201 European firms. Institutional theory is applied to determine the reasons that lead SCs to embed digitally. SCDE is assessed through three dimensions: technology, infrastructure and culture. The data were analyzed using SEM-partial least squares (PLS-SEM) modeling with SmartPLS software.

Findings
The findings show a positive relationship of normative and coercive pressures to SCDE but no relationship between mimetic pressures and SCDE. Additionally, results confirm a positive relationship between SCDE and SC competences that contribute to SC competitive advantage obtaining.

Practical implications
The results underscore the importance of analyzing the environment when undertaking digital projects. Key issues include SC culture and infrastructure in these projects and the advisability of anticipating potential influence of digitalization projects on SC competences that support the chain’s competitive advantage.

Originality/value
This study contributes to institutional theory by providing empirical evidence of the individual effect of the three types of institutional pressure, with noteworthy lack of influence from mimetic pressures. The paper also contributes a conceptualization of SCDE composed of three dimensions: digital technologies, digital infrastructure and digital culture. Finally, the study advances the literature on SC competences.
Pricing and green promotion effort strategies in dual-channel green supply chain: considering e-commerce platform financing and free-riding
Authors: Li Mengwan , Shan Miyuan 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore product pricing and green promotion effort policies and further analyzes the influences of financing interest rate, green promotion effort and free-riding behavior on the optimal strategies.

Design/methodology/approach
Research will be conducted with the aid of Stackelberg game research method, considering that the manufacturer has financial constraints and financing from e-commerce platform, and consumers have dual preferences, based on the two models of no green promotion effort for physical store and green promotion effort for physical store to explore dual-channel green supply chain strategies.

Findings
This research puts forward the following findings, in the two models: the rise in financing interest rate leads to an increase in wholesale and selling prices of dual channels and a decrease in demand of dual channels. The green promotion effort has a positive impact on wholesale prices, selling prices and demand of dual channels. The rise of free-riding rate makes offline wholesale and selling prices fall, whereas online wholesale and selling prices rise.

Originality/value
This research results can provide reference for the decision-making in the context of supply chain financing and free-riding.
The contributions of scale-appropriate farm mechanization to hunger and poverty reduction: evidence from smallholder systems in Nepal
Authors: Paudel Gokul P. , Gartaula Hom , Rahut Dil Bahadur , Justice Scott E. , Krupnik Timothy J. , McDonald Andrew J. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study examines the adoption drivers of scale-appropriate mechanization in Nepal's maize-based farming systems. The authors also assess the contribution of scale-appropriate mechanization to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of zero hunger (SDG2) and no poverty (SDG1).Design/methodology/approachPropensity score matching and doubly robust inverse probability-weighted regression adjusted methods were applied to estimate the effects of mini-tiller adoption. These methods control the biases that arise from observed heterogeneities between mini-tillers users and nonusers.FindingsThe study findings show that farm size, labor shortages, draft animal scarcity, market proximity, household assets and household heads' educational level influence the adoption of mechanization in Nepal. Mechanized farms exhibited enhanced maize productivity, profits and household food self-sufficiency. Reduced depth and severity of poverty were also observed. Nevertheless, these effects were not uniform; very small farms (≤0.41 ha) facing acute labor shortages benefited the most.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results suggest that policymakers in developing nations like Nepal may wish to expand their emphasis on scale-appropriate mechanization to improve farm productivity and household food security, reduce poverty and contribute to the SDGs.Originality/valueThis first-of-its-kind study establishes the causal effects between scale-appropriate farm mechanization and SDG1 (no poverty) and SDG2 (zero hunger) in a developing nation.
Diversity in Iranian upstream educational documents
Authors: Hassanpour Ali , Azizi Nematollah , Ahmadi Abbas , Gholizadeh Isa , Ramezani Seyedeh Golafrooz 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
Considering the role that students’ diverse identifications play in education, this paper aims to contribute to the developing discourse on multicultural education concerning the status of ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity in Iranian upstream educational documents (UEDs).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper explores the status of ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity in Iranian UEDs through quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

Findings
Findings show that three continuous patterns are repeated throughout the documents. (1) The so-called diversity: although there are promising and positive statements about diversity in the documents, they are indirect, and this level of attention is very superficial and limited. (2) Affirming assimilation: the documents are covered by presenting the Islamic-Iranian identity, and somehow almost all the issues raised in the documents end up in this pattern. (3) Pattern of contradictions: content analysis shows that the content of documents does not have intellectual and logical coherence.

Practical implications
This research paper points to the need for a systematic analysis of ignoring diversity operating in UEDs in Iran.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper broadens the document analysis as one of the first research to critically explore the depiction of diversity in important UEDs in Iran.
Double-sided silicon vias (DSSVs) interconnection for large-sized interposer fabrication
Authors: Yang Haibo , Dai Fengwei , Cao Liqiang , Cao Guofu , Fang Zhidan , Wang Qidong 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
A large-scale detection system with more data in short time bins, small dead space and small signal identification is the ideology the scientists pursuing. These proposed demands are able to be solved by 2.5 D integration. The substance of a 2.5 D integration is called silicon interposer, which consists of the through silicon via (TSV) and redistribution layer. However, the state-of-the-art silicon interposer is not able to sustain its own mechanical strength with the detector/readout array often sitting as standalone in large science facilities and fails to reduce the expansions on the installation of the components due to its insufficient thickness and size. This study aims to propose a moderation of current interposer with large-sized, standalone properties.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper proposes an interposer based on double-sided silicon vias (DSSVs) interconnection. Unlike conventional interposer that is interconnected by TSVs, DSSVs interposer is interconnected by top vias (T-vias) and bottom vias (B-vias).

Findings
The fabrication process of DSSVs interposer is introduced, and the superiority of the double-sided interconnection process with two etch-stop layers is described in detail. The impact of different T-vias depth on DSSVs interconnections in the same wafer is discussed and two times PI opening processes are proposed to eliminate air bubbles in the B-via. The relationship between the interposer thickness and warpage is studied by finite element analysis simulation and experiment. The prototype of the DSSVs interposer with a size of 100  × 100 mm and a thickness of 318.2 µm is fabricated, and electrical tests including short tests and continuity tests are carried out.

Originality/value
This paper proposes a large-sized and stand-alone interposer based on DSSVs interconnection.
A neuro-cognitive perspective on urban behavior of people with different moods
Authors: Erkan Ilker 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the neurocognitive status of people with different moods (depressed and non-depressed) both in a typical urban environment (TUE) and in an urban green environment (UGE).Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted with the participation of 210 individuals in a real environment. Heart rates of the participants were measured together with EEG and eye-tracking measurements while they were walking in a real urban environment (TUE and UGE). The participants were divided into depressed and non-depressed groups according to different moods. Movements within the city based on these two distinctions and different cognitive moods were investigated, together with the effects of the city plan on these people.FindingsAs a result, the green urban fabric was found to have a positive effect even on people with depression. Yet, it was found that the non-depressed group also spent more time in a green urban environment.Originality/valueThe study shows that urban planners and designers should assume an important role in the design of green spaces, which have a more intense visual and cognitive impact than structures.
Market reaction to the Russian Ukrainian war: a global analysis of the banking industry
Authors: Boubaker Sabri , Nguyen Nga , Trinh Vu Quang , Vu Thanh 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the market reactions of the banking industry to the Russian–Ukraine war.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper uses an event study methodology, regression analyses and interaction effects to study the effect of the war on banks stock prices and analyze factors that explain the cumulative abnormal return.

Findings
First, this study finds a significant decline of almost 1.5% in return on the war date. Similar patterns were observed for all continents, but Europe had the most severe drop of about 4%. Second, after excluding the contemporaneous influence of the whole market using the market model, global bank equities returns fell by about 1% on the war date, indicating that bank stocks were more severely impacted by the war than the average stock market. Net-of-market return approach further reveals that bank stock prices decreased 1.4% more on the event day compared to the prewar market average. Third, the impacts of the war and sanctions were persistent when the war continued. Banks stocks were most hit in Europe, Asia and North America.

Originality/value
This paper pioneers the study of the effect of the Russia–Ukraine war on the banking industry. This paper also analyzes the reaction pattern of bank stocks before, during and after the war to explain the behavior and expectations of investors toward the war.
Synthesis and optimization for shape memory behaviour of 4D printed GNPs reinforced shape memory photopolymer composite
Authors: Borra N. Dhanunjayarao , Neigapula Venkata Swamy Naidu 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
Shape memory materials are functional materials having a good number of applications due to their unique features of programmable material technology such as self-stretching, self-assembly and self-tightening. Advancements in today’s technology led to the easy fabrication of such novel materials using 3D printing techniques. When an external stimulus causes a 3D printed specimen to change shape on its own, this process is known as 4D printing. This study aims to investigate the effect of graphene nano platelet (GNPs) on the shape memory behaviour of shape memory photo polymer composites (SMPPCs) and to optimize the shape-changing response by using the Taguchi method.

Design/methodology/approach
SMPPCs are synthesized by blending different weight fractions (Wt.%) of flexible or soft photopolymer (FPP) resin with hard photopolymer (HPP) resin, then reinforced with GNPs at various Wt.% to the blended PP resin, and then fabricated using masked stereolithography (MSLA) apparatus. The shape memory test is conducted to assess the shape recovery time (T), shape fixity ratio (Rf), shape recovery ratio (Rr) and shape recovery rate (Vr) using Taguchi analysis by constructing an L9 orthogonal array with parameters such as Wt.% of a blend of FPP and HPP resin, Wt.% of GNPs and holding time.

Findings
SMPPCs with A3, B3 and C2 result in a faster T with 2 s, whereas SMPPCs with A1, B1 and C3 result in a longer T with 21 s. The factors A and B are ranked as the most significant in the Pareto charts that were obtained, whereas C is not significant. It can be seen from the heatmap plot that when factors A and B increase, T is decreasing and Vr is increasing. The optimum parameters for T and Vr are A3, B3 and C2 at the same time for Rf and Rr are A1, B3 and C1.

Research limitations/implications
Faster shape recovery results from a higher Wt.% of FPP resin in a blend than over a true HPP resin. This is because the flexible polymer links in FPP resin activate more quickly over time. However, a minimum amount of HPP resin also needs to be maintained because it plays a role in producing higher Rf and Vr. The use of GNPs as reinforcement accelerates the T because nanographene conducts heat more quickly, releasing the temporary shape of the specimen more quickly.

Originality/value
The use of FPP and HPP resin blends, fabricating the 4D-printed SMPPCs specimens with MSLA technology, investigating the effect of GNPs and optimizing the process parameters using Taguchi and the work was validated using confirmation tests and regression analysis, which increases the originality and novelty.
Adjustable children’s clothing: preferences of children and their parents in Sri Lanka
Authors: Seram Niromi , Maduwanthi Dulshani Nimesha 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
Adjustable children’s clothing is being acknowledged as the best solution worldwide to reduce the unnecessary squandering of money and accumulation of waste materials in landfills because provision for size adjustment helps to increase the lifespan of a garment. There are no studies on the preferences of both children and their parents for adjustable children's clothing, although they are equally involved as consumers in the children’ clothing market. Thus, this paper aims to explore the preferences of children and their parents about adjustable children’s clothing.

Design/methodology/approach
Five children’s wear fashion outlets in the Colombo District were studied to explore the types of children’s clothing that are available in the Sri Lankan market. A questionnaire survey was conducted with parents who have children between the ages of 8 and 12 years to determine their perceptions on the use of adjustable children’s clothing. Five children living in the Colombo District were also interviewed.

Findings
According to the questionnaire survey results, 53% of the respondents who have children in the age group 8–12 years were unaware of the existence of adjustable children's clothing, whereas 47% had at least some knowledge of them. Interviews with the five children showed that only two children were aware of garments with adjustment features. As it turned out though, four children were indeed wearing them but did not realize those were adjustable garments. It was found that if adjustable children's clothing were freely available in the Sri Lankan market, 79.5% of the respondents would prefer to buy them because they could appreciate the financial and environmental benefits that would result. Clothing made of standard, high quality, durable and comfortable materials were all in demand. In addition, parents expected adjustable children's clothing products to be available at affordable prices.

Originality/value
This study provides important knowledge that can fill the gap in the existing literature on adjustable children’s clothing. The findings will be beneficial for the children’s clothing product designers and developers, as well as academia.
COVID‐19 infection‐ and vaccination‐related exacerbation of Darier's disease in a single patient
Authors: Fukaura Ryo , Takeichi Takuya , Ebata Aoi , Muro Yoshinao , Akiyama Masashi 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDarier's disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorder. DD patients usually present with widespread keratotic eruptions with itching in the seborrheic regions that are exacerbated by various factors, including heat, sweat, and physical trauma. The SARS‐CoV‐2 (COVID‐19) pandemic has stirred confusion among the medical community, including dermatologists, as this infection has been implicated in various skin conditions. Only a handful of reports have documented DD associated with COVID‐19. Here, we report a 30‐year‐old male with Darier's disease whose symptoms were exacerbated following both COVID‐19 vaccination and COVID‐19 infection. The patient had noticed slight eruptions 7 years prior, but was not particularly concerned. After COVID‐19 vaccination and infection, he had erythematous maculopapular lesions in large areas of the trunk and extremities. The previously reported pathogenic variant c.2255_2257del (p.(Ile752_Tyr753delinsAsn)) in ATP2A2 was detected in the present patient. Oral etretinate greatly improved his DD manifestations. As far as we know, the present patient is the first genetically confirmed DD case who showed both COVID‐19 infection‐ and vaccination‐related DD exacerbations independently. We think that the further accumulation of DD cases exacerbated by COVID‐19 infection/vaccination is needed to clarify the mechanisms of DD aggravation.
A three‐dimensional approach to general plant fire syndromes
Authors: Jaureguiberry Pedro , Díaz Sandra 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Plant fire syndromes are usually defined as combinations of fire response traits, the most common being resprouting (R) and seeding (S). Plant flammability (F), on the other hand, refers to a plant's effects on communities and ecosystems. Despite its important ecological and evolutionary implications, F has rarely been considered to define plant fire syndromes and, if so, usually separated from response syndromes.

We propose a three‐dimensional model that combines R, S and F, encapsulating both plant response to fire regimes and the capacity to promote them. Each axis is divided into three possible standardized categories, reflecting low, medium and high values of each variable, with a total of 27 possible combinations of R, S and F.

We hypothesized that different fire histories should be reflected in the position of species within the three‐dimensional space, and that this should help assess the importance of fire as an evolutionary force in determining R‐S‐F syndromes.

To illustrate our approach, we compiled information on the fire syndromes of 24 dominant species of different growth forms from the Chaco seasonally dry forest of central Argentina, and we compared them to 33 species from different Mediterranean‐type climate ecosystems (MTCEs) of the world.

Chaco and MTCEs species differed in the range (7 syndromes vs. 13 syndromes, respectively) and proportion of extreme syndromes (i.e. species with extreme values of R, S and/or F) representing 29% of species in the Chaco vs. 45% in the MTCEs.

In addition, we explored the patterns of R, S and F of 4032 species from seven regions with contrasting fire histories, and found significantly higher frequencies of extreme values (predominantly high) of all three variables in MTCEs compared to the other regions, where intermediate and low values predominated, broadly supporting our general hypothesis.

The proposed three‐dimensional approach should help standardize comparisons of fire syndromes across taxa, growth forms and regions with different fire histories. This will contribute to the understanding of the role of fire in the evolution of plant traits and assist vegetation modelling in the face of changes in fire regimes.
