Published: August 2022

PurposeDigital communication and social media have an increasing importance in society and in tourism boosting. This study aims to analyse the role of digital marketing in the destination image and visitor loyalty of historic sites.Design/methodology/approachUsing a mixed-method approach combining survey data from 318 respondents and three in-depth interviews. Using structural equations modelling results reveals experience, satisfaction, image and loyalty are concepts to be considered by the destinations' digital marketing promotion, as well as the increasing use of digital marketing by tourists, in the sense that tourists are increasing the habit of checking the opinion of others before scheduling their trip and gives them more importance, and a growing importance is given by tourists to the web/social networks of places they intend to visit.FindingsThis study contributes to the theory on tourism digital marketing which can be transposed to organizations management in order to encourage discussion on the processes of capture, retention and loyalty of target audiences.Research limitations/implicationsTo enhance the importance of digital marketing in the process of the tourist development of the city, it is fundamental to define a clear strategy for attracting and responding to the greatest demand from cultural tourists who are increasingly interested in actively participating in learning experiences.Practical implicationsThe results show that digital communication and social media have an increasing importance in society and in tourism boosting and economy recovery.Social implicationsThe paper presents digital marketing as a possible factor in tourism development and social inclusion, advancing practical measures aimed at social justice through a fairer distribution of tourism revenues and the defence of historic centre residents' way (i.e. Barcelos’), and quality of life.Originality/valueThe authors suggest the development of a strategic digital marketing plan applied to the development and promotion of tourism in the city of Barcelos (Portugal), to complement the research presented here, thus contributing with a more practical perspective of the subject under study.
Exoskeletons at your service: a multi-disciplinary structured literature review
Authors: Tarbit James , Hartley Nicole , Previte Josephine 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Exoskeletons are characterized as wearable, mechanical orthoses that augment the physical performance of the wearer, enhance productivity and employee well-being when used in value producing contexts. However, limited research involving exoskeleton usage by service employees in frontline contexts has been undertaken within service research. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of exoskeleton research undertaken within the context of value-producing roles, introduce exoskeletons conceptually to the service research domain, provide new conceptualizations of service exchange interactions involving physically augmented service actors and propose future avenues of exoskeleton research in alignment with key service theories.

Design/methodology/approach
A multi-disciplinary structured literature review based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses method was undertaken across a variety of literature fields. A final selection of n = 25 papers was selected for analysis from an initial sample of N = 3,537. Given the emergent nature of exoskeleton research and the variety of methodology types used between literature fields, a thematic analysis approach was used for analysing identified papers.

Findings
The literature review identified four main themes within role-focused exoskeleton research. These themes informed proposals for future exoskeleton research with respect to key service theories and typologies. The findings demonstrate that the presence of an exoskeleton changes the behaviours and interactions of service employees. The augmented social presence AugSP typology is conceptualized to explain the influences of human enhancement technologies (HETs) within service actor interactions.

Originality/value
This research introduces the AugSP typology to conceptualize the impacts that exoskeletons and HETs impose within technologically mediated service interactions and provides a service-specific definition of exoskeleton technology to guide future service research involving the technology.
Understanding energy-efficiency choices through consumption values: the central role of consumer's attention and trust in environmental claims
Authors: Issock Issock Paul Blaise , Muposhi Asphat 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThis study examines how consumption values influence consumers' purchase intention of energy-efficient home appliances in South Africa, an emerging market. The study further investigates the mediating role of consumers' attention to energy-efficient labels affixed on home appliances while making a purchase decision and the moderating effect of consumer trust in the environmental claims.Design/methodology/approachUsing a quantitative approach, this study relied on self-administered questionnaires to collect data from 505 household representatives in South Africa's Gauteng Province. The proposed conceptual model was empirically tested using structural equation modelling, moderation and mediation analyses.FindingsThe results revealed that economic, emotional and social values can only influence consumers' intention to purchase energy-efficient appliances if consumers pay attention to the energy-efficiency label affixed on the appliance. Functional value, however, has a significant direct impact on purchase intention. Moreover, the results indicate that trust in energy-efficiency labels strengthens the effect of functional and emotional values on consumers' attention to energy-efficiency labels.Originality/valueFindings of this study highlight the importance of capturing the attention of consumers to energy-efficiency labels during the buying process as well as increasing their trust in those labels. Results indicate that consumers are more attracted to the functional and social values that energy-efficient appliances provide. This study is of particular interest to policymakers, retailers and manufacturers, as it sheds light on key strategies to implement to effectively promote the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances in South Africa.
Managerial ability and corporate risk-taking in an emerging economy
Authors: Alzugaiby Basim 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThe existing literature, generally based on US data, provides little evidence that supports whether managerial ability directly links to corporate risk-taking. Hence, this study aims to expand the limited extent by investigating the impact of managerial ability on risk-taking across Saudi firms.Design/methodology/approachThis study mainly uses a panel fixed-effects model, including firm-year and firm-industry, to analyse a sample of Saudi non-financial firms from the period 2008 – 2018. In the empirical analysis, the managerial ability is lagged by one year to mitigate endogeneity concerns that may arise from reverse causality. To avoid omitted variables bias, this study includes several firm-level control variables.FindingsThe empirical results show that the relationships between managerial ability and firm risk-taking measures are negative and statistically significant with the standard deviation of return on assets (sROA) and leverage; positive and statistically significant with theZ-score. These results indicate that firms managed by high-ability executives have the propensities to take less risk. The main results remain robust to additional sensitivity analyses including an alternative measure for managerial ability, an alternative proxy for risk-taking using logistic regression analysis, using financial crises as dummy variables, and using a cross-lagged panel model with fixed effects for endogeneity concerns.Practical implicationsWhen evaluating firms, all market and society participants including researchers, regulators, supervisors, policymakers, and boards ought to pay close attention to managerial ability as one of the main factors affecting risk-taking.Originality/valuePreviously, closely related studies, focussing on the US market, mainly find that managers with high ability are receptive to risk-taking. This paper offers further international insight into the relevant literature by providing evidence that capable managers are inclined to take low risks.

Authors: Abed Shireen Mohammed , Mohammad Sabah M. , Hassan Zainuriah , Muhammad Aminu , Rajamanickam Suvindraj 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to fabricate an ultraviolet (UV) metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector based on zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) grown on seeded silicon (Si) substrate that was prepared by a low-cost method (drop-casting technique).

Design/methodology/approach
The drop-casting method was used for the seed layer deposition, the hydrothermal method was used for the growth of ZnO NRs and subsequent fabrication of UV MSM photodetector was done using the direct current sputtering technique. The performance of the fabricated MSM devices was investigated by current–voltage (I–V) measurements. The photodetection mechanism of the fabricated device was discussed.

Findings
Semi-vertically high-density ZnO (NRs) were effectively produced with a preferential orientation along the (002) direction, and increased crystallinity is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Photoluminescence results show a high UV region. The fabricated MSM UV photodetector showed that the ZnO (NRs) MSM device has great stability over time, high photocurrent, good sensitivity and high responsivity under 365 nm wavelength illumination and 0 V, 1 V, 2 V and 3 V applied bias. The responsivity and sensitivity for the fabricated ZnO NRs UV photodetector are 0.015 A W-1, 0.383 A W-1, 1.290 A W-1 and 1.982 A W-1 and 15,030, 42.639, 100.173 and 334.029, respectively, under UV light (365 nm) illumination at (0 V, 1 V, 2 V and 3 V).

Originality/value
This paper uses the drop-casting technique and the hydrothermal method as simple and low-cost methods to fabricate and improve the ZnO NRs photodetector.

Authors: Akther Tanjina , Voumik Liton Chandra , Rahman Md. Hasanur 
Published: August 2022

PurposeResearch based on Bangladesh–US trade data examines the Heckscher–Ohlin model and the Rybczynski hypothesis in this study.Design/methodology/approachOrdinary least square (OLS) techniques are used in this study, which relies on data from the NBER International Trade and Geography Data and the UN Comtrade Database for the years 2018 and 2008.FindingsThe research shows that trade between the United States and Bangladesh follows Heckscher–Ohlin and Rybcyzinski's trade predictions. According to the study, since labor is in plentiful supply in Bangladesh, Bangladesh's labor-based sectors have a higher US labor-to-capital import shares than US capital-based industries. As Bangladesh has not changed significantly from a labor-based country since 2008, it retains the same pattern even though the share of US unskilled labor-based sectors imported from Bangladesh decreased in 2018.Originality/valueThe findings of this study have a wide range of implications for both trade theory and policy debates between Bangladesh and the United States.
How creativity is oppressed through traditional education
Authors: Morris Thomas Howard 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Creativity has been positioned as a critical workplace competence, especially in societies in which conditions are rapidly changing. The fact that traditional educational processes oppress creativity is theoretically important. The purpose of the present paper is to theoretically map the process of teacher-directed learning and how the process oppresses creativity.

Design/methodology/approach
A theoretical paper in which a conclusion is drawn that there is a primary and secondary process of creativity oppression with traditional teacher-directed learning.

Findings
It is proposed in the present paper that the primary process of creativity oppression is that the pathway to a “high achieving pass” is for learners to make knowledge constructions that mirror that of the educator (rewarding non-creative learning outcomes). A secondary, silent and powerful mechanism of creativity oppression is where the learner does not “buy in” with the educator to accept their knowledge inculcation. The student here may indeed produce a creative learning outcome from the process, but they are likely to be judged for that work as a “low achieving pass” or a fail.

Originality/value
The paper seeks to identify the mechanism in which creativity oppression may accumulate over time until learner creativity is quashed.
Digital accessibility of smart cities - tourism for all and reducing inequalities: Tourism Agenda 2030
Authors: Fernández-Díaz Elena , Jambrino-Maldonado Carmen , Iglesias-Sánchez Patricia P. , de las Heras-Pedrosa Carlos 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
There is widespread agreement that the tourism sector should address the issue of sustainability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the digital accessibility of the cities awarded as European Capitals of Smart Tourism for their innovative, accessible and sustainable practices by the European Commission.

Design/methodology/approach
An analysis of the digital level of accessibility of 50 uniform resource locator (URL) of European cities was undertaken. The analysis followed the international evaluation requirements of the World Wide Web (W3C).

Findings
The results show that none of the official Web pages analyzed obtained 100% in relation to the digital accessibility requirements. The main factors that pose barriers to communication and interaction were identified.

Practical implications
The paper encourages smart tourism destinations to overcome the challenge of matching both dimensions of accessibility to obtain barrier-free information to ensure cities are inclusive and sustainable in line with Agenda 2030 (sustainable development goal [SDG] 11).

Originality/value
The concept of tourism for all receives special attention in the sector, and this notion is reflected in the UN SDGs. However, accessibility has not been extensively analyzed in relation to the cohesion between the digital and the physical dimension. Tourism research tends to focus on accessible experiences within destinations. This paper introduces a new insight into the key issue of digital accessibility, which can promote destination choice and influence the tourism experience.

AbstractEtomidate, with efficacy similar to that of propofol, has been used as a propofol substitute because propofol is a designated narcotic drug, and an increase in the frequency of illegal distribution and misuse has been reported in Korea. Previous analytical studies on etomidate used blood and urine. For long‐term use and timing estimation, a method for etomidate analysis using hair should be developed. Therefore, in this study, an analytical method using LC–MS/MS was developed to determine etomidate and its major metabolite in hair. Human hair samples were segmented after washing to eliminate possible contaminants on the hair and stirred with methanol. The LC–MS/MS conditions were optimized, and the chromatographic separation time was 10 min. Selectivity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, accuracy, recovery, process efficiency, matrix effect, and stability were evaluated to validate the analytical method. The calibration curves ranged from 0.25 to 50 pg/mg for etomidate and 2–250 pg/mg for etomidate acid; the coefficients of determination were higher than 0.997. The intra‐ and inter‐assay precision results for all the compounds were <15% and satisfied at recovery, process efficiency, matrix effect, and stability. In addition, this method was applied to the hair of 4 rats which are administered with etomidate to evaluate. The etomidate concentrations in the rat hair ranged from 2.60 to 8.50 pg/mg, and the etomidate acid concentrations were 2.06–7.13 pg/mg. Thus, this method can be used as basic data for monitoring etomidate in hair.
Prothrombinex®‐VF in chronic liver disease: Friend or foe?
Authors: Latona Akmez , Hill Kate , Connelly Aurelia , Stuart Katherine , Wood Peter 
Published: August 2022

AbstractObjectiveManagement of coagulopathy in chronic liver disease (CLD) poses a challenge for critical care physicians. Prothrombinex®‐VF is a low‐volume product with rapid onset of action. Evidence for its efficacy and safety in CLD is limited and cases of acute intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis (AICF) and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) have been reported. Our objective was to evaluate the role of Prothrombinex®‐VF in reversal of coagulopathy and the incidence AICF/DIC, thromboembolic events and mortality.MethodsThis was a retrospective, multi‐centre study of Prothrombinex®‐VF use in CLD across 11 hospitals over a 2‐year period, excluding those on therapeutic anticoagulation. Patients were subclassified into acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF), acute decompensation (ADC) and compensated cirrhosis. Reversal of coagulopathy was defined as international normalised ratio (INR) <1.5× upper limit normal (ULN), prothrombin time <1.5× ULN, activated partial thromboplastin time <1.5× ULN and fibrinogen >1 g/L. Markers of AICF/DIC were recorded.ResultsThirty CLD patients were included, and the median model for end‐stage liver disease score was 23.5. Acute bleeding was the most common indication for Prothrombinex®‐VF (60%). All had baseline coagulopathy and the majority did not achieve reversal. Key indicators of AICF/DIC were mainly observed in those with ACLF; bleeding from mucosa or lines (53%), worsening hypofibrinogenaemia (60%), worsening thrombocytopaenia (60%). The ADC and compensated cirrhosis groups were relatively unaffected. Incidence of venous thromboembolism was 6%. Overall mortality was 43% and 70% in ACLF.ConclusionProthrombinex®‐VF did not lead to meaningful reversal of coagulopathy and should be used with caution in CLD. Patients with ACLF were more likely to develop AICF/DIC following Prothrombinex®‐VF, although the association is uncertain. Further studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Prothrombinex®‐VF use in CLD.

AbstractBackgroundClinically measurable factors affecting the progression‐free survival (PFS) of patients receiving osimertinib as first‐line therapy for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation‐positive advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not yet been established.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 61 patients treated with osimertinib as primary therapy for EGFR mutation‐positive advanced NSCLC at Yokohama City University Medical Center between August 2018 and March 2022. Our objective was to identify the independent predictors of PFS.ResultsThe median age of participants was 74 years. Overall, 73.8% had good (0–1) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS), and 98.4% had histology of adenocarcinoma. The EGFR mutation was exon19 deletion in 52.5% and exon21 L858R in 44.3% of patients. Programmed death‐ligand 1 tumor proportion score >50% was observed in 21.3% and liver metastasis in 9.9% of patients. Median PFS was 19.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.6–31.6), and overall survival was not reached. The objective response rate was 68.9%, and disease control rate was 93.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that poor PS (2–4) negatively impacted PFS (hazard ratio, 3.79; 95% CI: 1.46–9.87; p = 0.006). Median PFS in the good PS and poor PS groups was 20.4 months (95% CI: 12.4‐not evaluable) and 7.2 months (95% CI: 7.2–19.5), respectively. Interstitial lung disease of all grades and grade 3 was observed as an adverse event in 6.6 and 4.9% of patients, respectively.ConclusionPoor PS was associated with poor prognosis in patients with EGFR mutation‐positive advanced NSCLC treated with osimertinib as first‐line therapy.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundNephrocheck® was approved for acute kidney injury (AKI) risk assessment in critically illness. However, new studies suggest that urinary concentration affects Nephrocheck® and previous studies did not provide data on urinary output (UO) at the time of measurement.MethodsWe performed a prospective cohort study of the Nephrocheck® in intensive care unit patients fulfilling standard inclusion criteria. The primary outcome was Stage 2 or 3 AKI defined by both UO and creatinine Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria in the subsequent 12 h. The secondary outcome was the relationship of UO with Nephrocheck® measurement.ResultsAmong 98 patients, the primary outcome occurred in 53 (54.1%) overall, but in 23 (23.5%) by creatinine criteria alone. The median (interquartile range) Nephrocheck® in patients with subsequent Stage 2 or 3 AKI was greater than in Stage 1 or no‐AKI patients (0.97 [0.48–1.99] vs. 0.46 [0.22–1.17]; p = .005). However, its area under the receiver characteristic curve was 0.66 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56–0.77). Moreover, Nephrocheck® was significantly and inversely correlated with UO (ρ = −.46, p < .001) at the time of measurement and, on a multivariable logistic regression, Nephrocheck® was not associated with subsequent Stage 2 or 3 AKI (OR 1.06 [95% CI, 0.74–1.53], p = .73). In contrast, the UO had an OR of 0.98 for each ml/h increase (95% CI, 0.97–1.00, p = .007).ConclusionNephrocheck®'s predictive performance was limited and its value was inversely correlated with UO. Nephrocheck® had no independent relationship with outcome once UO at measurement was considered.
