Exploring connections within the technology-based entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) in emerging economies: understanding the entrepreneurship struggle in the Indonesian EE
Authors: Qoriawan Terra , Apriliyanti Indri Dwi 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
Tech startup is the new hope for sustaining economic growth and job creation in a knowledge-based economy. However, research on the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) is always constructed upon macro-level analysis and is still very limited to the developed economies. This study aims to tackle those issues by exploring the connections within an EE in an emerging economies context with a micro and meso-level social network approach to unravel the pattern of networks and interactions between each actor in the EE.

Design/methodology/approach
This research used multi-layered social network analysis, exploring actors in the ecosystem and their interactions. The authors conducted interviews with startups, support organizations and government agencies. The authors used Atlas.ti software to visualize the network structures.

Findings
The authors found that the content of interaction within the EE in the emerging economies differs greatly with EE in the developed economies and they produced distinctive characteristics as follows: lack of a dense network, resource scarcities and structural gaps and weak institutional policies.

Research limitations/implications
The research is based on a case study of tech-based EE in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Therefore, the authors encourage other researchers to investigate networks and connections in other EEs in emerging economies. This research contributes a conceptual framework to better understand the network of connections in an emerging-economies-based EE.

Practical implications
The research shows grants provision alone cannot contribute to the functioning of EE. The authors argue strategic networks which promote collaboration among actors can reduce holes and structural gaps, as well as resource scarcities in the ecosystem. In addition to that, strong institutional policies and effective policy integration are needed to create a successful EE.

Social implications
This research promotes the importance of networks, particularly networks between tech startups and strategic organizations to provide resources and support productive entrepreneurship in hopes of sustaining and accelerating tech startup growth within an EE.

Originality/value
The research proposes to add to the existing EE literature by shedding light on governance of EE, as well as exploring network of connection and interaction among actors within the ecosystem. As a result, the study addresses the need for a more micro or operational-level understanding of an EE. Recent calls for EEs literature have also focused on a certain actor’s dynamic function in the ecosystem. By focusing on the role of the government, the research added to the underdeveloped EE literature.
Collaborative public service provision archetypes in healthcare emergencies: a case of COVID-19 administration in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayasinghe Kelum , Wijesinghe Chandana , Wijethilake Chaminda , Prasanna Raj 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis paper examines how the properties and patterns of a collaborative “networked hierarchy” incident command system (ICS) archetype can provide incident command centres with extra capabilities to manage public service delivery during COVID-19.Design/methodology/approachThe paper illustrates the case of Sri Lanka's COVID-19 administration during its “first wave” (from 15 February to 1 September 2020). Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials who were directly involved in the administration of the COVID-19 outbreak. Secondary data sources were government publications and web sources. The data were analysed and interpreted by using narrative analysis and archetype theory respectively.FindingsThe findings highlight how Sri Lanka's public sector responses to COVID-19 have followed a collaborative “networked hierarchy” ICS archetype. More specifically, the government changed its normative ICS “properties” by incorporating a diverse group of intergovernmental agencies such as the police, the military, the health service and administrative services by articulating new patterns of collaborative working, namely, organisational values, beliefs and ideas that fit with the Sri Lankan public service context.Originality/valueIn responding to high magnitude healthcare emergencies, the flexibility of a collaborative networked ICS hierarchy enables different balances of organisational properties to be incorporated, such as hierarchy and horizontal networking and “patterns” in public service provision.
Auditor switching, lowballing and conditional conservatism: evidence from selected Asian countries
Authors: Kamarudin Khairul Anuar , Islam Ainul , Habib Ahsan , Wan Ismail Wan Adibah 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the effect of auditor switching and lowballing on conditional conservatism, particularly how different types of auditor switching, namely, upward, downward and lateral switching to/from Big 4 and industry specialists, affect earnings quality in the following selected Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand.

Design/methodology/approach
Using conditional conservatism as a proxy for earnings quality, this study hypothesises that upward switching from non-Big 4 to Big 4 auditors, or from non-specialist to specialist auditors, would result in high conditional conservatism, while downward switching would lead to low conditional conservatism. The study further tests whether lowballing provides a viable explanation for reduced earnings conservatism in firms that switch from Big 4 to non-Big 4 auditors, or from specialist to non-specialist auditors.

Findings
The analysis, on a sample of 28,073 firm-year observations from 2007 to 2016, shows that the decision to downgrade auditors leads to lower conditional conservatism in the year of switching, compared with other firms and the pre-switching year. The evidence further shows that, when firms downgrade their auditors, lowballing contributes to a decrease in conditional conservatism in the first year of audit switching. Further, this research finds that switching to specialist auditors will result in increased conditional conservatism, while switching from specialist auditors to non-specialist auditors will result in reduced conditional conservatism.

Practical implications
The findings of this study are useful to investors who are looking to diversify their investment portfolio in developing markets, as evidence about auditor switching and quality of financial reporting may be an important factor in their investment decisions. Downward auditor switches and lowballing could act as red flags to investors in the sense that these events could signal a decrease in conditional conservatism and, hence, quality of earnings.

Originality/value
This research offers new evidence to support the view that management decisions to switch to lower-quality auditors will force newly appointed auditors to acquiesce to clients’ demands for reporting low-quality earnings.
Overcoming organizational politics with tenacity and passion for work: benefits for helping behaviors
Authors: De Clercq Dirk , Shu Chengli , Gu Menglei 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis study unpacks the relationship between employees' perceptions of organizational politics and their helping behavior, by explicating a mediating role of employees' affective commitment and moderating roles of their tenacity and passion for work.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative survey data were collected from 476 employees, through Amazon Mechanical Turk.FindingsBeliefs that the organizational climate is predicated on self-serving behaviors diminish helping behaviors, and this effect arises because employees become less emotionally attached to their organization. This mediating role of affective commitment is less salient to the extent that employees persevere in the face of challenges and feel passionate about working hard.Practical implicationsFor human resource managers, this study pinpoints a lack of positive organization-oriented energy as a key mechanism by which perceptions about a negative political climate steer employees away from assisting organizational colleagues on a voluntary basis. They can contain this mechanism by ensuring that employees are equipped with energy-boosting personal resources.Originality/valueThis study addresses employees' highly salient emotional reactions to organizational politics and pinpoints the critical function of affective commitment for explaining the escalation of perceived organizational politics into diminished helping behavior. It also identifies buffering effects linked to two pertinent personal resources.

AbstractIntroductionHemodialysis (HD) patients should be trained to develop self‐care behaviors in order to prevent and preserve their arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The aim of this study was identifying the factors that affect the levels of self‐care behavior with AVF by HD patients.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 89 patients.ResultsSelf‐care levels were negatively affected by patients' location (Azores) and positively affected by marital status, education, employment, AVF duration, and absence of complications with the AVF. Concerning the management of signs and symptoms, self‐care levels were negatively affected by patients' location. Regarding prevention of complications, self‐care levels were negatively affected by age and marital status and positively affected by marital status, employment, chronic kidney disease etiology, AVF duration, and previous AVF.ConclusionFurther studies are required in order to confirm whether the considered factors affect levels of self‐care behaviors with AVF, or whether other factors are needed as well.
Staying afloat: The effect of algae contamination on Lake Erie housing prices
Authors: Wolf David , Gopalakrishnan Sathya , Klaiber H. Allen 
Published: January 2022

AbstractLake Erie has experienced unprecedented harmful algal blooms since the early 2000s, prompting the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada, which aims to reduce lake‐wide phosphorous loadings by 40%. Little is known about the economic benefits from this agreement, especially to near lake homeowners. We provide key information on the benefits of harmful algal bloom cleanup by linking housing transactions in 2003 to 2015 from seven Ohio counties bordering Lake Erie with measures of water quality using remote‐sensing images. We further control for endogenous algae production using instrumental variables derived from hydrological processes that link Maumee River runoff to nutrient concentrations in Lake Erie. Using a semiparametric approach, we find the impact of harmful algal blooms on housing prices is spatially limited to properties within 1.2 km of Lake Erie. For the average near lake homeowner, a 1 μg/L increase in algae concentrations is expected to decrease property values by 1.7% ($2205). In aggregate, fulfilling the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement will provide a yearly benefit of up to $42.9 million, fully covering the current annual expenditure on water quality improvement.

AbstractAimMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundantly expressed in vasoactive intestinal peptide expressing (VIP+) interneurons and are indispensable for their functional maintenance and survival. Here, we blocked miRNA biogenesis in postmitotic VIP+ interneurons in mice by selectively ablating Dicer, an enzyme essential for miRNA maturation, to study whether ablation of VIP+ miRNA affects olfactory function and neural activity in olfactory centres such as the olfactory bulb, which contains a large number of VIP+ interneurons.MethodsA go/no‐go odour discrimination task and a food‐seeking test were used to assess olfactory discrimination and olfactory detection. In vivo electrophysiological techniques were used to record single units and local field potentials.ResultsOlfactory detection and olfactory discrimination behaviours were impaired in VIP+‐specific Dicer‐knockout mice. In vivo electrophysiological recordings in awake, head‐fixed mice showed that both spontaneous and odour‐evoked firing rates were decreased in mitral/tufted cells in knockout mice. The power of ongoing and odour‐evoked beta local field potentials response of the olfactory bulb and anterior piriform cortex were dramatically decreased. Furthermore, the coherence of theta oscillations between the olfactory bulb and anterior piriform cortex was decreased. Importantly, Dicer knockout restricted to olfactory bulb VIP+ interneurons recapitulated the behavioural and electrophysiological results of the global knockout.ConclusionsVIP+ miRNAs are an important factor in sensory processing, affecting olfactory function and olfactory neural activity.

AbstractPurposeThe objectives were to characterize clinico‐pathologically a large series of peri‐implant peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG), and investigate the role of foreign material as a possible etiological factor.Material and methodsThe study was retrospective, conducted on peri‐implant specimens submitted for histology between 2005 and 2021.ResultsThree hundred and thirty‐five peri‐implant biopsies were retrieved, of which 52 (15.5%) were PGCG. The study population included 28 females and 24 males, age 35–92 years, mean 61. 51.2% reported bone involvement. The lesion involved the margins of the specimen in 65.3%, recurrence was reported in 46.1%. In 58.8% the implant was removed at the same time the specimen was submitted for histopathological analysis. Small foci of black granular foreign material were observed in 53.8% of cases of which 67.8% were birefringent under polarized light. The foreign material granules were not ingested inside multinucleated giant cells, but were scattered in the stromal compartment.ConclusionsPeri‐implant PGCG is locally aggressive, with frequent bone involvement and high recurrence rate, resulting in implant loss in the majority of cases. The high recurrence rate may be related to conservative or inadequate surgery. Foreign material although common does not seem to have a role in its development.

AbstractBackgroundSevere acute pancreatitis has a high mortality of 20%–40%, but there is a lack of optimal prognostic biomarker for the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) or mortality. This study is designed to investigate the relationship between serum cholinesterase (ChE) level and poor outcomes of AP.MethodsA total of 1904 AP patients were screened in the study, and we finally got 692 patients eligible for analysis. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on serum ChE. The primary outcome was mortality, and multivariable logistic regression analysis for mortality was completed. Additionally, we used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to clarify the predictive value of serum ChE for mortality and organ failure.ResultsThree hundred and seventy eight patients and 314 patients were included in the ChE‐low and ChE‐normal group, respectively. Patients in the ChE‐low group were older (46.68 ± 12.70 vs. 43.56 ± 12.13 years old, p = .001) and had a lower percentage of man (62.4% vs. 71.0%, p = .017) when compared to the ChE‐normal group. Mortality was significantly different in two groups (10.3% vs. 0.0%, p < .001). Moreover, organ failure also differed significantly in two groups (46.6% vs. 8.6%, p < .001). Decreased ChE level was independently associated with mortality in acute pancreatitis (odds ratio: 0.440; 95% confidence interval, 0.231, 0.838, p = .013). The area under the curve of serum ChE was 0.875 and 0.803 for mortality and organ failure, respectively.ConclusionsLower level of serum ChE was independently associated with the severity and mortality of AP.
From Shared Meals to Interreligious Conversations
Authors: Schlenker Lea 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis article describes three levels of interreligious dialogue today and observes a lack of exchange between these levels. For the future of interreligious dialogue, it proposes to link the theory and practice of interreligious dialogue more closely, that is, to interrelate academic reflections and actual interreligious encounter. Taking up the term “hospitality,” the author shows that, while the notion of interreligious hospitality plays a key role in comparative theology, the concrete practice of hospitality is rarely used as a resource for theological reflection. Consequently, the article refers to the practice of hospitality at the table and provides some starting points for interreligious conversations evolving around shared meals. Based on the notion of “embodiment,” it points to the central role of theological reflection of everyday life and to the potential of interreligious dialogues as a tool and resource in a pluralistic, quickly changing world.
A Jewish Perspective on the Work of the World Council of Churches in Jewish–Christian Relations
Authors: Polish Daniel F. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe article takes note of the recent re‐establishment of relations between the World Council of Churches and the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations, the organized Jewish community’s official representative for international interreligious dialogue. It examines the asymmetries between the two bodies and explores the significant features that will pose challenges to that relationship, such as the different natures of the Jewish and Christian communities and the impact of the constituencies of the two organizations on their respective positions on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church and Its Interreligious Dialogue Approach
Authors: Christodoulakis Ioannis 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe main purpose of this article is to emphasize the role of the modern Orthodox Church in interreligious dialogues, focusing on the texts of the Holy and Great Synod of the Orthodox Church of 2016 in Crete. Moreover, at the beginning, reference is made to various examples from the history of the church that underline the inseparable unity and historical continuity of tradition and present, as the Orthodox Church has never ceased to be in dialogue with other religions. Then, the article analyzes the main positions of the Holy and Great Synod that concern interreligious dialogue and highlights obstacles and concerns that arise from the dialogue. Finally, it emphasizes the need for interfaith dialogue in the years of late modernity, as religions can work together to help address global problems such as ecological destruction, war, and poverty.
Progressive Secular Sindhi Sufism in the Making of Decolonial Islamic Thinking in Pakistan
Authors: Wassan M. Rafique 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis study, informed by anthropology, introduces the political modernist imagination of the Sindhi Sufi tradition in postcolonial Pakistan. The central argument of the article is premised on the discussion and analysis of the progressive political agency of the Sindhi Sufi tradition enacted by the Sindhi intelligentsia that stands out against the exclusivist process of Islamization in Pakistan. Crucially, the article brings out the case study of G. M. Syed (d. 1995), a prominent political figure and founder of modern Sindhi nationalism in Pakistan. His intellectual political project of Sufism in postcolonial Pakistan has formed a keystone category that counters the political Islam of Mullah, or theocratic political Islamism. Arguably, G. M. Syed’s political work offers a dialogical potential of Sufi Islam that has a vital role to play in the formation of an inclusive, tolerant, and peaceful society in Pakistan and globally. The article informs progressive secular imagination inspired by the Sufi tradition in Muslim cultural contexts.
World(‐)Systems, West Africa, and the Global Middle Ages
Authors: Abney Graham 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThough West Africa and West African gold is generally acknowledged to have played a critical role in the high and later medieval world economy, the full extent of the region's global influence remains understudied in Global Middle Ages scholarship. This is not a new development but instead a continuation of a trend begun with the development of world systems theory, a key methodological paradigm used in the production of Global Middle Ages scholarship. By tracing the development of world systems theory and contextualizing it in historiography of West Africa and the Latin West, this essay seeks to offer answers for this analytical lacuna and provide potential strategies for producing more holistic scholarship.
