Ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion and associated neural activation in male rats: Impact of age and adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure
Authors: Gore-Langton Jonathan K. , Varlinskaya Elena I. , Werner David F. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIndividuals that initiate alcohol use at younger ages and binge drink during adolescence are more susceptible to developing alcohol use disorder. Adolescents are relatively insensitive to the aversive effects of alcohol and tend to consume significantly more alcohol per occasion than adults, an effect that is conserved in rodent models. Adolescent typical insensitivity to the aversive effects of alcohol may promote greater alcohol intake by attenuating internal cues that curb its consumption. Attenuated sensitivity to the aversive effects of alcohol is also retained into adulthood following protracted abstinence from adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure. Despite these effects, much remains unknown regarding the neural contributors. In the present study, we used a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) paradigm to investigate neuronal activation in late-developing forebrain structures of male adolescents and adult cFos-LacZ transgenic rats as well as in AIE adults following consumption of 0.9% sodium chloride previously paired with an intraperitoneal injection of 0, 1.5 or 2.5g/kg of ethanol.. Unlike adults that were non-manipulated or received water exposure during adolescence, adolescents as well as adults who experienced AIE did not display CTA to a 1.5 g/kg ethanol dose. Adults displayed increased neuronal activation indexed via number of β-galactosidase positive (β-gal+) cells in the prefrontal and insular cortex that was absent in adolescents, whereas adolescents but not adults had reduced number of β-gal+ cells in the central amygdala. Adults also displayed greater cortical-insular functional connectivity than adolescents as well as insular-amygdalar and prefrontal cortex-accumbens core functional connectivity. Like adolescents, adults previously exposed to AIE displayed reduced prefrontal-insular cortex and prefrontal-accumbal core functional connectivity. Taken together, these results suggest that attenuated sensitivity to the aversive effects of ethanol is related to a loss of an insular-prefrontal cortex-accumbens core circuit.
Top down information shapes lexical processing when listening to continuous speech
Authors: Gwilliams Laura , Marantz Alec , Poeppel David , King Jean-Remi 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSpeech is often structurally and semantically ambiguous. Here we study how the human brain uses sentence context to resolve lexical ambiguity. Twenty-one participants listened to spoken narratives while magneto-encephalography (MEG) was recorded. Stories were annotated for grammatical word class (noun, verb, adjective) under two hypothesised sources of information: ‘bottom-up’: the most common word class given the word’s phonology; ‘top-down’: the correct word class given the context. We trained a classifier on trials where the hypotheses matched (about 90%) and tested the classifier on trials where they mismatched. The classifier predicted top-down word class labels, and anti-correlated with bottom-up labels. Effects peaked ∼100ms after word onset over mid-frontal MEG sensors. Phonetic information was encoded in parallel, though peaking later (∼200ms). Our results support that during continuous speech processing, lexical representations are quickly built in a context-sensitive manner. We showcase multivariate analyses for teasing apart subtle representational distinctions from neural time series.
Experimental and numerical study on heatwave effect over an airfoil for unmanned aerial vehicle applications
Authors: V. Somashekar , A. Immanuel Selwynraj 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
The heatwave effects over an airfoil have a greater influence in the aerodynamic efficiency. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of heatwave upon the low Reynolds number airfoil aerodynamic performance.

Design/methodology/approach
In this research, the heatwave effects on micro-aerial vehicles’ wing operation are also demonstrated both numerically and experimentally, at the Chord-based Reynolds number Rec = 2 × 105, and under the influence of various environmental temperatures, i.e. 27ºC (room temperature), 40ºC and 50ºC for various flying conditions. A numerical investigation of the low Reynolds number flows with the thermal effect around the unmanned aerial vehicle is presented using the k–ɛ turbulent model. Besides that, the low Reynolds number-based wind tunnel experimental setup is developed to determine the effects of a heatwave over an airfoil. Then, the numerical simulations and wind tunnel experiments are conducted.

Findings
The numerical and wind tunnel’s experimental investigations have been performed on a 2D airfoil under a heatwave environment, i.e. 27ºC, 40ºC and 50ºC for different flight conditions. The numerical and experimental results revealed that the heatwave effect and aerodynamic performance are validated with experimental results. The lift and drag coefficients for both numerical and experimental results show very good correlation at Reynolds number 2 × 105.

Practical implications
The consequences of the increasing temperatures to varying degrees will also be experienced by all commercial aircraft. That is why some great findings are presented here, which are highly relevant for the current and future airline operations. However, sooner than later, the aviation industry should also begin to consider the rising effects of temperature on aircraft operations to develop the loss-reducing adaptable plans.

Originality/value
From the numerical and wind tunnel experimental results, the recorded maximum lift coefficients are observed to be 2.42, 2.39 and 2.36 for 27ºC (room temperature), 40ºC and 50ºC, respectively, at 16° angle of attack, numerically. Similarly, the recorded maximum lift coefficients are observed to be 2.410, 2.382 and 2.354 for 27ºC (room temperature), 40ºC and 50ºC, respectively, at 16° angle of attack, experimentally. The heatwave effects over an airfoil have a greater influence in the aerodynamic efficiency.

Authors: Cheng Jao-Hong , Lin Li-Wei 
Published: May 2022

Purpose This paper aims to examine how situational factors with social support affecting purchase intention in social commerce (SC). In Taiwan’s SC, the relationship between trust belief and purchase intention has always been a key issue.Design/methodology/approach This study presents a research model that comprises five hypothesis with five constructs, including situational factors, social support, senses, trust belief and purchase intention. The model is tested on data collected from 532 valid samples in Taiwan, using structural equation modeling. The results show that, in order of importance, control senses and raise mediation trust belief reach the better purchase intention.Findings The findings of the study provide practical insights in understanding how seller should notice consumer’s trust belief, in order to enhance purchase intention for the SC as a whole.Originality/value Much existing consumer behavior research is focused on decision making rather than the trust belief themselves. Accordingly, analyzing how senses influence trust belief and purchase intention is an important issue in SC.

Authors: Endrich Marek , Verhaeghe Pieter-Paul , Costa Rafael , Imeraj Lena , Gadeyne Sylvie 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the spatial distribution of different types of Airbnb hosts – based on a novel typology – and to investigate their association with neighbourhood characteristics in Brussels.Design/methodology/approachThis study describes the location of Airbnb dwellings across the types of hosts and use spatial tests to compare their distributions to the traditional hospitality industry. With regression models, this study examines the relationship between the provision of Airbnb listings and neighbourhood indicators.FindingsWhile different types of hosts offer their listings in the same urban space, they also cover different areas and exhibit different clustering processes. Their locations are associated with structural, socio-economic and demographic neighbourhood characteristics that vary across the types and provide support for the new typology.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focuses on the type of Airbnb hosts and their listings in one year, 2019. It would be worthwhile to apply the typology to other cities and to observe how the distributions change over time, including the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to suggest a finer typology of Airbnb hosts than the regular distinction into professional and non-professional types and reveals how hosts differ in the location of their Airbnbs.
Modelling and quantitation of embodied, operational and mobile energies of buildings: a holistic review from 2012 to 2021
Authors: Tam Vivian W.Y. , Liu Lei , Le Khoa N. 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThis paper proposes an intact framework for building life cycle energy estimation (LCEE), which includes three major energy sources: embodied, operational and mobile.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review is conducted to summarize the selected 109 studies published during 2012–2021 related to quantifying building energy consumption and its major estimation methodologies, tools and key influence parameters of three energy sources.FindingsResults show that the method limitations and the variety of potential parameters lead to significant energy estimation errors. An in-depth qualitative discussion is conducted to identify research knowledge gaps and future directions.Originality/valueWith societies and economies developing rapidly across the world, a large amount of energy is consumed at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, its huge environmental impacts have forced many countries to take energy issues as urgent social problems to be solved. Even though the construction industry, as the one of most important carbon contributors, has been constantly and academically active, researchers still have not arrived at a clear consensus for system boundaries of life cycle energy. Besides, there is a significant difference between the actual and estimated values in countless current and advanced energy estimation approaches in the literature.
Islamic financial literacy and Islamic banks selection: an exploratory study using multiple correspondence analysis on banks' small business customers
Authors: Al-Awlaqi Mohammed Ali , Aamer Ammar Mohamed 
Published: May 2022

PurposeAlthough Islamic banks offer superior financial services than other interest-based conventional banks, they could not expand their share and dominate the markets in several Islamic countries. This problem could be attributed to some causes not addressed. The current study proposes Islamic financial literacy as an important factor that could help aggress this problem. Due to a wide variety of Islamic financial services and the lack of understanding of these services, the banks' small business customers are indifferent between Islamic and interested-based conventional services to finance their business.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the exploratory technique of multiple correspondence analysis to detect any potential role of Islamic financial literacy in customers' preference for Islamic banks over conventional ones. The potential effect was tested with other essential factors, such as the customers' age, gender, and educational level. This analysis was conducted on a data set from 2061 banks' small businesses customers using the mall-intercept survey method.FindingsThe study shows a low level of Islamic financial literacy among Yemeni banks' small business owners' customers. Furthermore, despite integrating some critical factors that could influence the actual bank selection process among Yemini banks' customers, the authors found a decisive potential role of Islamic financial literacy as one of the key determinants of bank selection preferences.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to explore the potential role of Islamic financial literacy on the actual selection between Islamic Banks and their counterparts: the conventional banks in Yemen. The research results could build a more comprehensive theoretical model on Islamic banks' customer behavior.
Evaluating the interactive effect of domestic and global stock market variables on the depth of the financial system in Sub-Saharan African countries: a panel ARDL approach
Authors: Kalu Ebere Ume , Arize Augustine Chuck , Ilo Sylvester Okechukwu , Ihegboro Ifeoma , Eze Chiamaka Goodness 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThis study investigated the interactive impact of global and domestic stock market variables on the depth of the financial system in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries from 1990 to 2018.Design/methodology/approachThe study used the mean group and pooled mean group estimators for the dynamic heterogeneous panel.FindingsThe results provide strong statistical evidence that the depth of the financial system in SSA countries is influenced by a combination of local and international stock market indicators. While the local variables exert a positive influence, the global indicator tends to negatively affect the depth of the system, particularly the monetization ratio.Practical implicationsWhile the tendency of portfolio adjustments and reversal can be inferred, the study stresses the need for a more globalized approach to financial policy formulation and implementation even as the trend of global financializaton gets more robust and more profound.Originality/valueThis study is unique in that, unlike prior ones, it has extended the debate on the role of the stock market in financial deepening from a domestic to an international dimension. Financial policy making can be aided by the authors' findings through looking at the financial deepening-stock market linkage from both domestic and globalized perspectives.

Culture and the decision to adopt and use social media for corporate disclosures
Authors: Ma Lin , Rahman Asheq 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the influence of culture on the adoption and use of social media platforms for corporate disclosures by firms in a cross-country setting.Design/methodology/approachIt is contended that social media corporate disclosure (SMCD) is culturally influenced because the primary purpose of social media is to connect people in social settings, and social settings are distinguished by their cultures. Using a sample of 1,420 firms from 36 countries and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, this study examines the direct effects of culture on SMCD and its moderating effects on the relationship between SMCD and the agency determinants of corporate disclosure.FindingsIt is found that cultural dimensions directly affect the adoption and use of SMCD. Additionally, the agency determinants of disclosure, size, leverage and growth are positively associated with the adoption, and use of SMCD, and these associations are moderated by the cultural dimensions.Research limitations/implicationsThe Hofstede cultural dimensions are broad country-level variables based on the culture of the majority in the population. However, larger countries have many cultures. This study does not cover within-country cultural effects on SMCD. It also does not cover firm-level culture and accounting culture because these factors are derived from national culture. This study adds culture as a country-level determinant of why companies adopt and use social media.Practical implicationsThe study provides investors and policymakers with an understanding of the nature of SMCD adoption and use in different cultural settings. It also makes managers aware of which cultural settings are more amenable to SMCD.Social implicationsSocial media, by design, have social implications. Examining the role of culture in the use of social media provides societal reasons for the use of SMCD by companies.Originality/valueSince social media are interactive in form rather than simply one-way disclosure devices, this study goes beyond the realm of corporate disclosure into the less researched area of corporate communication via social media.
Positive deviance at work: a systematic review and directions for future research
Authors: Sharma Naman , Chillakuri Bharat Kumar 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the positive side of employee deviance. Historically, research exploring employee deviance focussed on undesirable organisational and individual outcomes. Thus, previous research has empirically established that employee deviance harms both the organisation and organisation's employees. Recent studies argue that employee deviance also has a positive effect; however, such studies are limited in number. The extant research fails to consider the positive side of employee deviance, and therefore, the present studies bridge the gap through a systematic literature review on positive deviance.Design/methodology/approachThe study examined peer-reviewed theoretical and empirical journal articles related to workplace deviance. An initial search resulted in 2,691 research articles, of which 40 papers were considered relevant for the study given the objective of this paper. Research papers were extracted from the Web of Science, EBSCO and Scopus. The extracted data were then synthesised to formulate the research questions and objectives for this study.FindingsBasing on the systematic literature review, the study presents six main themes: positive deviance and younger workforce, positive deviant leader and subordinates and positive deviance as a strategic tool for employee engagement, positive deviance and positive organisational scholarship, positive deviance and entrepreneurial orientation. The study also proposes positive deviance as a mediator/moderator of other relationships within an organisation.Research limitations/implicationsSystematic literature is a methodology that relies on the availability and accessibility of research studies based on the research criteria. The study considered three significant databases to identify the relevant papers for the study. Therefore, the research is limited, and the possibility of omitting the papers is not ruled out, although unintentional.Originality/valueThe paper is plausibly the first research to conduct a systematic literature review on positive deviance. The study establishes and reconfirms the encouraging side of employee deviance. The study extends the literature on workplace deviance in two significant ways. First, the paper systematically examines the empirical and review literature related to positive deviance and presents a greater understanding of the predictors, consequences, methodologies, etc. Second, the study highlights the critical research gaps in this area and suggests the course of action for future research.
Blockchain in education: the influence of trust on adoption and implementation
Authors: Ramos Cristina Rodrigues dos Santos , Queiroz Maciel M. 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the influence of trust on adopting and implementing blockchain technology in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Brazil.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses an exploratory qualitative approach to understand the construct of trust in the context of the educational sector. Data were collected through semistructured questionnaires and online interviews.

Findings
The research identified that, for most potential blockchain users, trust positively influences the HEIs, because benefits such as secure data sharing and transaction transparency could optimize the daily routine and avoid fraud in academic documents, providing a cooperative and reliable working environment. In addition, the results suggest that trust is needed to overcome challenges related to issues such as costs and privacy.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to the advances in the emerging literature on blockchain in the educational sector as a system with the potential to generate trust, as well as the literature on the technology acceptance models.

Practical implications
For HEI managers and practitioners, this study highlights the need for a greater understanding of the influence of trust in the relationships between HEIs and other stakeholders.

Social implications
This work shows that adopting blockchain technologies would allow users to build social relationships of trust in a cooperative work environment and develop trusted behavior by sharing data securely and transparently.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies on the adoption and implementation of blockchain in the education sector in Brazil.
Detection algorithm of rail surface defects based on multifeature saliency fusion method
Authors: Zhai Hua , Ma Zheng 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
Effective rail surface defects detection method is the basic guarantee to manufacture high-quality rail. However, the existed visual inspection methods have disadvantages such as poor ability to locate the rail surface region and high sensitivity to uneven reflection. This study aims to propose a bionic rail surface defect detection method to obtain the high detection accuracy of rail surface defects under uneven reflection environments.

Design/methodology/approach
Through this bionic rail surface defect detection algorithm, the positioning and correction of the rail surface region can be computed from maximum run-length smearing (MRLS) and background difference. A saliency image can be generated to simulate the human visual system through some features including local grayscale, local contrast and edge corner effect. Finally, the meanshift algorithm and adaptive threshold are developed to cluster and segment the saliency image.

Findings
On the constructed rail defect data set, the bionic rail surface defect detection algorithm shows good recognition ability on the surface defects of the rail. Pixel- and defect-level index in the experimental results demonstrate that the detection algorithm is better than three advanced rail defect detection algorithms and five saliency models.

Originality/value
The bionic rail surface defect detection algorithm in the production process is proposed. Particularly, a method based on MRLS is introduced to extract the rail surface region and a multifeature saliency fusion model is presented to identify rail surface defects.
