AbstractOpioid misuse has dramatically increased over the last few decades resulting in many people suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD). The prevalence of opioid overdose has been driven by the development of new synthetic opioids, increased availability of prescription opioids, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Coinciding with increases in exposure to opioids, the United States has also observed increases in multiple Narcan (naloxone) administrations as life-saving measures for respiratory depression, and, thus, consequently, naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. Sleep dysregulation is a main symptom of OUD and opioid withdrawal syndrome, and therefore, should be a key facet of animal models of OUD. Here we examine the effect of precipitated and spontaneous morphine withdrawal on sleep behaviors in C57BL/6J mice. We find that morphine administration and withdrawal dysregulate sleep, but not equally across morphine exposure paradigms. Furthermore, many environmental triggers promote relapse to drug-seeking/taking behavior, and the stress of disrupted sleep may fall into that category. We find that sleep deprivation dysregulates sleep in mice that had previous opioid withdrawal experience. Our data suggest that the 3-day precipitated withdrawal paradigm has the most profound effects on opioid-induced sleep dysregulation and further validates the construct of this model for opioid dependence and OUD.HighlightsMorphine withdrawal differentially dysregulates the sleep of male and female mice3-day precipitated withdrawal results in larger changes than spontaneous withdrawalOpioid withdrawal affects responses to future sleep deprivation differently between sexes
Audit committees’ oversight role in developing countries: evidence from Jordan
Authors: Alhababsah Salem 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore the opinions of audit committee (AC) members on the extent to which they fulfil the oversight role vested in them by the Jordanian Corporate Governance Code (JCGC).

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses semi-structured interviews with 18 AC members.

Findings
The findings suggest that although ACs largely meet the JCGC’s recommendations, their substantive oversight role in practice is limited. In particular, the responses indicate that ACs suffer from a lack of real power, especially concerning the appointment (or removal) of external auditors and the evaluation of internal control. Moreover, ACs have no actual role in issues deemed important for financial reporting quality (e.g. reviewing management estimates and evaluating chief financial officer (CFOs) and internal audit executives).

Originality/value
This study provides rich insights into ACs’ oversight processes in a setting outside the Anglo-Saxon corporate governance model where knowledge is scant on the ACs’ real function. Hence, the study injects the literature with new qualitative-based evidence from a peculiar civil law country. Also, Jordan has spent time and energy trying to strengthen corporate governance practices to boost investors’ confidence. However, the interviewees’ responses indicate that the oversight role of the AC is still far from what the regulators anticipate. Therefore, the findings offer useful feedback for regulators to think more deeply about the current governance regulations. The feedback from this study can be extended to other developing countries with similar institutional environments, especially countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
Effects of SNS overload and dissatisfaction on job performance and discontinuous usage intention
Authors: Bouattour Fakhfakh Sonda , Bouaziz Fatma 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of social network sites (SNS) overload on individual job performance and discontinuous usage intention.Design/methodology/approachBased on the Stressor-Strain-Outcome (SSO) framework, a research model was proposed and tested empirically. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was applied to data collected online through a questionnaire.FindingsFindings highlighted that social overload is related positively to information overload and communication overload. Information overload affected only the perception of work overload, while communication overload was a significant stressor affecting work overload and dissatisfaction towards SNS. Although results revealed a positive relationship between these two strains, only dissatisfaction influenced job performance and discontinuous usage intention.Originality/valueAs much as SNS are a useful tool in the workplace, they can have significant drawbacks. Prior studies have investigated this dark side. However, they scantily explored the effects of SNS overload on both job performance and discontinuous usage intention. Moreover, the relationships between types of overload are understudied. This paper proposes an enrichment of the literature by validating a model of the relationships between information overload, communication overload and social overload, job performance and discontinuous usage intention. It extends prior research on SNS stressors and points out the communication overload as the main SNS stressor affecting strains in the workplace.
Conflict in Kashmir and Manipur: history, ethnicity, gender
Authors: Kazi Seema 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to focus on the conflict in the Indian states of Kashmir and Manipur. It situates both conflicts within a historical frame to underscore their origins in history. Using a comparative, inter-disciplinary lens, the paper foregrounds the political, empirical and gendered similarities in both conflict zones. The human cost of modern India’s project of integrating historically autonomous, ethnically distinct and geographically disparate regions of Kashmir and Manipur is illustrated. By way of conclusion, the paper suggests institutional respect for, and accommodation of, ethnic minority history, identity and aspiration, as an ethical, democratic way forward towards conflict resolution.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a relatively lesser used comparative, critical inter-disciplinary approach towards examining ethnic conflict. Contrary to ahistorical normative approaches focused on individual ethnic conflict, or the conventional assumption that the ethnic conflicts in India are necessarily mutually exclusive, this paper uses a comparative frame to underscore the shared historical origins and common empirical realities of the conflicts in Kashmir and Manipur. This particular approach reframes conventional epistemic debates on conflict in ways that offer a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the same.

Findings
This paper underscores the critical importance of a historically informed approach to conflict and conflict resolution in India’s ethnic borderlands. Challenging statist approaches based on coercion and repression, the paper underscores the need for respect and accommodation of ethnic minority history, identity and aspiration as essential conditions towards a just and enduring peace in both regions.

Originality/value
With exceptions, a comparative approach to conflict studies in India is relatively rare. To this extent, this paper diverges from mainstream approaches. Further, in contrast to studies focused on individual conflicts examined within a single disciplinary analytic frame, this paper uses an inter-disciplinary, intersectional approach to conflict studies. By capturing the converging historical political, social, human and gendered fields of conflict in Kashmir and Manipur, this paper offers a richer, more sophisticated understanding of the character of conflict in India.

Authors: Vetoshkina Liubov , Lamberg Laura , Ryymin Essi , Rintala Heta , Paavola Sami 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study analyses development of research-related innovation activities in a University of Applied Sciences (UAS) in Finland. Focus on production of innovations in relation to academization challenges the traditions of applied research in UAS, which has always relied on collaboration with local stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the approach of cultural-historical activity theory, the study conceptualizes development of innovation activities as a movement across multiple intertwined developmental lines. The authors ground these conceptualizations in the data, coming from interviews with key researchers in a multidisciplinary research project on smart bioeconomy at a Finnish UAS.FindingsDevelopment of research-related innovation activities in the UAS happened along six lines: development of researcher's expertise, development of project, development of organization, development of research, development of field and development of funding models and policies. The developmental tensions between the lines were essential for promotion of innovation activities.Originality/valueThe study reveals the complex multilayered nature of research-related innovation activities in the specific context of UAS, where it creates challenges and opportunities for developing the traditions of applied research. The results encourage UAS to critically evaluate their changing role as research institutions in regional, national and international innovation systems.

Authors: Shi Yangyan , Gao Yangfei , Arthanari Tiru , Humdan Eias A.I. 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This paper builds on Melynk’s et al. (2010) seminal article by reviving the concept of outcome-driven supply chain (ODSC) and empirically examining its relationship with supply chain practices and performance implications in an attempt to articulate its antecedents and consequences for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand (NZ). The purpose of this study to empirically examine outcome-driven supply chain and its practices from the perspective of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand.

Design/methodology/approach
A theoretical framework is developed drawing on an extensive review of the literature. Structural equation modelling is used to analyse the data collected from 107 NZ SMEs.

Findings
The results identify that SMEs can work on three aspects of supply chain practices (process integration, partnership and use of information and communication technology) to deliver blended ODSC outcomes (efficiency, agility and security) to improve performance. The empirical results show the implementation ODSC in the context of NZ SMEs can bring performance benefits.

Originality/value
The research starts a pioneer work on understanding ODSC in the context of NZ SMEs. Also, this study provides a valuable guideline to ODSC practices to improve ODSC outcomes and related performance benefits.
What to believe, whom to blame, and when to share: exploring the fake news experience in the marketing context
Authors: Mahdi Ali , Farah Maya F. , Ramadan Zahy 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The spread of fake news on social networking sites (SNS) poses a threat to the marketing landscape, yet little is known about how fake news affect consumers’ perceptions, attitudes and behaviors. This study aims to explore when consumers believe fake news, whom they blame for it (e.g. negative attitudes toward brands or SNS) and when they choose to share it.

Design/methodology/approach
Data obtained from 80 open-ended, semistructured interviews, conducted with SNS consumers and experts, is analyzed following the principles of grounded theory and the Gioia methodology.

Findings
Factors affecting consumers’ perceptions of fake news include skepticism, awareness, previous experience, appeal and message cues. Consumers’ brand- and SNS-related attitudes are affected by consumers’ blame, which is determined by consumers’ perceptions of the vetting efforts, role and ethical obligation of SNS. Consumers’ motives for sharing fake news include duty, retaliation, authentication and status-seeking. Theoretical and practical implications derived from the study’s novel conceptual framework are discussed.

Practical implications
This study identifies communication strategies that marketing professionals can use to mitigate and counter the negative effects of fake news.

Originality/value
By simultaneously considering consumers’ perceptions of the source, information and medium (i.e. SNS), this study presents a novel conceptual framework providing a marketing-centered, dynamic view on consumers’ fake news experience and connecting consumers’ perceptions, attitudes and behaviors in the context of fake news.
The effects of companies’ face mask usage on consumers’ reactions in the service marketplace
Authors: Pichierri Marco , Petruzzellis Luca 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Face masks have been integrated into daily life and come to signify different meanings due to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on social perception and attribution theories, this paper investigates the possible additional benefits of face mask use in the service marketplace by understanding how consumers react to the new social norm.

Design/methodology/approach
Four experimental studies were run across different service contexts. Study 1 examines consumers’ evaluation of a service promotion when an employee wears a face mask; Study 2 focuses on the impact of face mask usage on salesperson credibility and service satisfaction; Studies 3 and 4 investigate the consequences of not using face masks on consumers’ intention to spread positive word-of-mouth for the service provider.

Findings
The results revealed that the presence of a face mask in a service promotion determined a higher level of service liking, while in a service encounter, it led to a higher level of salesperson credibility, which then positively affected consumer satisfaction. Finally, the non-utilization of a face mask negatively affected consumer intention to spread positive word-of-mouth about the service provider, even when the social norm is to not wear one.

Originality/value
The manuscript adds to research on salespeople appearance and tries to understand consumers’ reactions toward face mask use in the services sector, as, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, few empirical studies in the service marketing literature have investigated the topic so far. Findings also provide useful insights that can further promote companies’ adoption of face masks beyond the COVID-19 emergency.
Meeting educational challenges of pre- and post-COVID-19 conditions through self-directed learning: considering the contextual quality of educational experience necessary
Authors: Morris Thomas Howard 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Fostering the skills necessary for self-directed learning (SDL) competence could be considered the most essential goal of formal education, especially due to uncertainty and changing conditions – exampled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, SDL competence can afford a person the ability to adapt to changing social contextual conditions, thus facilitating personal growth and development – even in the face of volatile and rapidly changing social contextual conditions. The aim of this study is to explore, theoretically, the contextual quality of educational experience necessary for learners to secure adaptive meaning-making: in order to meet the demands of our changing world.

Design/methodology/approach
To date, research has failed to comprehensively identify exactly what type of educational experience is necessary for such an adaptive meaning-making process during SDL. The present theoretical paper attempts to redress this concern.

Findings
Highly contextualized educational experience is necessary to enable contextual-specific, adaptable, meaning-making. Two constituents of contextualized educational experience are proposed: contextual-specific information available during the educational experience; and contextual-specific meaning schemes resultant from the educational process.

Originality/value
This novel work presents an important argument that education should encourage learners to construct knowledge that is adaptable and transferable to their context, rather than automatized knowledge that is not adaptable or transferable. This is a key concern for persons who face rapidly changing social contextual conditions and therefore should be given consideration in both the design of education and in further research on SDL. Like a vaccine in an arm provides a certain protection against COVID-19, fostering our populations’ SDL competence is fundamental for affording persons with an ability to meet the demands of our rapidly changing world.
Vaping among youth: reasons, realization and intention to quit
Authors: Thapa Sajani , Pandey Satyendra C. , Panda Swati , Paswan Audhesh K. , Ghimire Ashish 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Vaping has become a prominent public health problem that has impacted young adults. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the effects of different intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on young adults’ realization of excessive vaping and their intention to quit vaping.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was used to collect data from 232 young vapers (primarily Generation Z and Millennials) to test the hypothesized relationships using a covariance-based structural equation model.

Findings
The findings of this study suggest that “realization of excessive vaping” is negatively associated with “sensation seeking” and positively associated with “deal proneness,” “environmental cues” and “negative repercussion.” The “intention to quit vaping” is negatively associated with “marketing cues” and positively associated with “alternative to smoking” and “environmental cues.” Finally, the “realization of excessive vaping” is positively associated with “intention to quit vaping.”

Originality/value
This study takes a two-dimensional approach to understand the complex motivations behind a relatively new addictive behavior – vaping. It contributes to the literature of addictive behavior, social cognitive theory and theory of planned behavior. Further, it has important implications for public policy and the marketing of addictive products to youths.
Towards an animal economics spectrum for ecosystem research
Authors: Junker Robert R. , Albrecht Jörg , Becker Marcel , Keuth Raya , Farwig Nina , Schleuning Matthias 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

The framework of the plant economics spectrum advanced our understanding of plant ecology and proved as a unifying concept across plant taxonomy, growth forms and biomes. Similar approaches for animals mostly focus on linking life‐history and metabolic theories, but not on their application in ecosystem research. To fill this gap, we propose the animal economics spectrum (AES) based on broadly available traits that describe organismal size, biological times and rates.

To exemplify the feasibility and general usefulness of constructing the AES, we compiled data on adult and offspring body mass, life span, age at first reproduction, reproductive and metabolic rate of 98 terrestrial taxa from seven selected animal classes and mapped these taxa into an exemplary quantitative trait space.

The AES consists of two principal axes related to reproductive strategies and the pace of life; both axes are linked by animal metabolism. The AES thus closely mirrors seminal ideas on fundamental life‐history strategies and more recent discoveries and developments in the fields of life‐history and metabolic theories. Furthermore, we find associations between the positions of animals within the AES and taxonomy, thermoregulation and body plan.

The AES shows that key dimensions describing different ecological strategies of animals can be depicted with functional traits that are relatively easily accessible for a broad spectrum of animal taxa. We suggest future steps towards an application of the AES in ecosystem research aiming at the understanding of ecological processes and ecosystem functions. Additionally, we urge for databases that compile comparable functional traits for a large proportion of animals, but also for further groups of organisms with the ultimate goal to map the economics spectrum of life.

The framework of the AES will be relevant for understanding ecological processes across animal taxa at species, community and ecosystem levels. We further discuss how it can facilitate predictions on how the functional composition and diversity of animal communities can be affected by global change.

BORDER CONTROL: The Territorial Politics of Policy Experimentation in Chinese Border Cities
Authors: Su Xiaobo , Miao Yi 
Published: April 2022

AbstractHow to balance policy experimentation for economic development with border control for national security is an issue that remains unresolved. Addressing this question, the article analyzes policy experimentation in Chinese border cities and how such experimentation is territorially reflected in and promoted through border control—a selective process that involves both softening and hardening the border. The case study is Ruili in Yunnan province, a border city adjacent to northern Myanmar's Shan and Kachin states. With the approval of higher‐level governments, Ruili has already begun experimenting with policies to promote cross‐border trade. One key initiative has been to move customs clearance away from the border to customs checkpoints within the city, giving rise to a special situation of ‘inside territory and outside customs’. However, this neoliberal policy of trade facilitation also generates new administrative loopholes which facilitate two‐way smuggling across the border. Border control provides the conditions through which border cities experiment with new policies in trade, investment and manufacturing, while enforcing sovereign power against clandestine business under the guise of national security. This article contributes to our understanding of the theoretical synergies between urban entrepreneurism and border politics by developing a territorially sensitive reading of the implementation of experimental policies for economic development.
