Impact of multisensory extended reality on tourism experience journey
Authors: Santoso Halim Budi , Wang Jyun-Cheng , Windasari Nila Armelia 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The use of extended reality (XR) to create memorable experiences has attracted considerable attention, especially in tourism. Multisensory XR offers a new way of virtually previewing a destination before physical holidays. This study aims to explore how multisensory XR can be used at each stage of the tourism experience journey. This study established a model for how destination-image formation is affected by multisensory XR in each phase of tourism experience.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to review studies published between 2013 and 2020, gathered from four research databases. The authors identified the predominant XR technology and sensory stimuli based on the characteristics of various tourism domains. The authors synthesized the previous studies to explain destination-image formation by using multisensory XR.

Findings
This study summarized the XR study distribution among the three stages of the tourism experience journey. The authors identified the predominant sensory stimuli and dominant XR application and developed a destination-image formation model by using multisensory XR.

Originality/value
This study highlights the holistic approach of multisensory XR in the tourism experience journey in relation to various tourism domains. It also contributes to destination-image formation in the virtual environment by providing multisensory experiences of predominant sensory stimuli at each stage.
Integrating financial literacy into economics courses through digital tools: the Finlite app
Authors: Yin Yin Khoo , Yusof Rohaila , Abe Yumiko 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the effect of the Finlite mobile app on the financial literacy of undergraduate business students in Malaysia.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a quasi-experimental pre-intervention design. The data are collected using a quiz and a questionnaire. Cluster sampling is adopted for three different zones in Malaysia. A total of 400 business students enrolled in economics courses participated in the intervention.

Findings
The results indicate that Finlite significantly promotes students’ savings intentions, practices, decision-making, accountability, values and financial literacy. All results are analyzed based on gender and race. However, Finlite does not significantly help overcome students’ financial issues such as credit card debt and poor spending behavior.

Practical implications
Financial literacy may be efficiently promoted through digital tools integrated into economics courses. Young adults can make optimal financial decisions after graduation. Future research should explore different courses, addressing undergraduate and high-school students.

Originality/value
Previous studies predominantly examine attitudes and behaviors related to financial literacy. In contrast, this study measures the ex post impact of the Finlite mobile app on savings intentions, practices, decision-making, accountability, ability to overcome financial issues and value for money.
In search of fit or authenticity? A product-type consumer decision in celebrity brand extensions
Authors: Osorio María Lucila , Centeno Edgar , Cambra-Fierro Jesús , del Castillo Ernesto 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
Celebrity-branded products constitute a brand extension growing phenomenon. Authenticity may explain why some of these offerings are successful despite low perceived fit, a traditional measure for brand extension acceptance. The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a framework based on the meaning transfer model that depicts the effects of brand extension authenticity, brand extension fit and idol attachment on the valuation of such offerings. An exploration of both functional and hedonic extensions is provided to control for product-type variables.

Design/methodology/approach
Scenario-based survey data from a general population (n = 646) was collected and analyzed with ordinary least squares regressions.

Findings
Brand extension authenticity is a significant antecedent of brand extension success in both product types, and brand extension fit is the most relevant antecedent only in functional extensions. Idol attachment exerts less influence than fit and authenticity in the functional extension. However, its relevance considerably improves in the hedonic extension.

Originality/value
A better understanding of consumers’ responses to celebrity brand extensions is essential to the branding literature. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to consider brand extension authenticity as a predictor of celebrity brand extension success and advances our knowledge of consumer behavior in relation to celebrities as brands and their products as brand extensions. The conceptual and empirical relevance of brand extension authenticity is demonstrated, highlighting its predictive power when compared with brand extension fit and idol attachment in a celebrity brand extension model, and a boundary condition related to product typology is uncovered.
The effect of perceived scarcity on strengthening the attitude–behavior relation for sustainable luxury products
Authors: Park Jaewoo , Eom Hyo Jin , Spence Charles 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine whether, and how, perceived product scarcity strengthens the attitude–behavior relation in the case of sustainable luxury products.

Design/methodology/approach
Three online studies were conducted to examine the moderating role of perceived product scarcity on the attitude–willingness to pay (WTP) relationship in the case of sustainable luxury products. A preliminary study (n = 208) examined the existence of an attitude–WTP gap toward a sustainable luxury product (i.e. a bag). Study 1 (n = 171) investigated the moderating effect of perceived scarcity induced by a limited quantity message on the relationship between consumer attitude and the WTP for a sustainable luxury product (i.e. a pair of shoes). Study 2 (n = 558) replicated these findings using a different product category (i.e. a wallet) while controlling for demographic variables and examined the moderating role of consumer characteristics on the scarcity effect.

Findings
Consumers’ perceived scarcity for sustainable luxury products positively moderated the relationship between product attitudes and their WTP for the products. The moderating effect of perceived scarcity was significant for consumers regardless of their tendency toward socially responsible consumption and their preference for product innovativeness. Meanwhile, the scarcity effect was influenced by the consumers’ attitude toward the brand of sustainable products.

Practical implications
This research provides empirical evidence for marketers with clear managerial implications concerning how to immediately promote consumers’ acceptance of sustainable luxury products.

Originality/value
This study is the first to examine the role of scarcity strategy on strengthening the attitude–behavior relation for sustainable luxury products.
Aligned but not integrated: UK academic library support to mental health and well-being during COVID-19
Authors: Cox Andrew , Brewster Liz 
Published: January 2022

PurposeTo discover how UK academic libraries sought to support student mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe data was from a 24-question survey of UK universities distributed in May 2021 which received 56 responses from 47 different Higher Education Institution libraries. Descriptive statistics are combined with thematic analysis of open text comments.FindingsLibraries were undertaking a wide range of activities, targeted chiefly at students and broadcast via Twitter, other social media and library web sites. The problem being addressed was the stresses of studying in the context of the pivot online and isolation caused by social distancing. Digital well-being seemed also to be an increased concern. COVID-19 had proved the value of digital support but created a number of challenges such as loss of physical space, communication barriers and lack of extra resource. The role had a somewhat informal place in the organisation. Overall library activities were aligned but not strongly integrated into institutional efforts.Research limitations/implicationsThis was a study in one specific national context with a relatively limited number of total responses. There could be a non-response bias where respondents were doing more than was typical in the sector.Originality/valueThe paper is one of the first papers to gather sector wide data and move beyond case studies of what individual libraries due to support to mental health and well-being. It also offers a case study of the impacts of COVID-19 on management pointing to its catalysing the digital shift, creating constraints on resources and communication and prompting the emergence of staff well-being as a consideration in management decision making.
Thematic analysis without paradox: sensemaking and context
Authors: Ozuem Wilson , Willis Michelle , Howell Kerry 
Published: January 2022

PurposeIn this paper, the authors underpin thematic analysis with a philosophical and methodological dimension and present a nuanced perspective on the application of thematic analysis in a data-driven context. Thematic analysis is a widely used qualitative analytic method; it is perceived as a transparent approach that offers single meaning. However, through Husserlian descriptive phenomenology, this paper aims to examine issues regarding subject/object and multidimensional meanings and realities.Design/methodology/approachIn most extant studies, thematic analysis has become a prescriptive approach. This emerging qualitative approach has been applied to a range of studies on social and organisational issues, knowledge management and education. However, despite its wide usage, researchers are divided as to its effectiveness. Many choose quantitative approaches as an alternative, and some disagree as to what counts as the definitive framework and process for thematic analysis. Consequently, the authors provide a level of validity for thematic analysis through emphasising a specific methodological approach based on ontological and epistemological positions.FindingsContrary to the common mantra from contemporary qualitative researchers who claim thematic analysis is often based on a static and enduring approach, the current paper highlights the dynamic nature of a thematic analytic approach and offers a deeper understanding of the ways in which researchers can use the right approach to understand the emerging complex data context.Originality/valueSeveral insights regarding the literature on thematic analysis were identified, including the current conceptualisation of thematic analysis as a dynamic approach. Understanding thematic analysis through phenomenology provides a basis on which to undertake a whole range of inclusive approaches that were previously undifferentiated from a quantitative perspective.
Study of anisotropy through microscopy, internal friction and electrical resistivity measurements of Ti-6Al-4V samples fabricated by selective laser melting
Authors: Nespoli Adelaide , Bennato Nicola , Villa Elena , Passaretti Francesca 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the microstructural anisotropy of Ti-6Al-4V samples fabricated by selective laser melting.

Design/methodology/approach
Specimens are fabricated through a Renishaw AM400 selective laser melting machine. Three microstructures (as-built, 850°C annealed and 1,050°C annealed) and two building orientations, parallel (PA) and perpendicular (PE) to the building platform, are considered. Starting from in-depth microscopic observations and comprehensive electron backscattered diffraction imaging, the study addresses non-conventional techniques such as internal friction and electrical resistivity measurements to assess the anisotropy of the fabricated parts.

Findings
Microscope observations highlight a fine texture with columnar grains parallel to the building direction in the as-built and 850°C annealed samples. Besides, coarse grains characterized the 1,050°C annealed specimens. Internal friction measurements pointed out the presence of internal stress while storage modulus analyses appear sensitive to texture. Electrical resistivity is resulted to be dependent on grain orientation.

Originality/value
The work uses some novel characterization techniques to study the anisotropy and internal stresses of Ti-6Al-4V samples processed by selective laser melting. Mechanical spectroscopy results suitable in this kind of study, as it mimics the operating conditions of the material.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on knowledge sharing in UK higher education
Authors: Kazemian Shakiba , Grant Susan Barbara 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The paper aims to explore “content” factors influencing consumptive and contributive use of enterprise social networking within UK higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology uses genre analysis and grounded theory to analyse empirical data from posts obtained through Microsoft Yammer and a focus group.

Findings
The findings reveal the motivators-outcomes-strategies and the barriers-outcomes-strategies of users. Motivators (M) include feature value, Information value, organizational requirement and adequate organizational and technical support. Barriers (B) include six factors, including resisting engagement on the online platform, emotional anxiety, loss of knowledge, the lack of organizational pressure, lack of content quality and lack of time. An Outcomes (O) framework reveals benefits and dis-benefits and strategies (S) relating to improving user engagement.

Practical implications
The research method and resultant model may serve as guidelines to higher educational establishments interested in motivating their staff and scholars around the use of enterprise social network (ESN) systems, especially during face-to-face restrictions.

Originality/value
This research study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic which provides a unique setting to examine consumptive and contributive user behaviour of ESN’s. Furthermore, the study develops a greater understanding of “content” factors leading to the benefits or dis-benefits of ESN use, drawing on user motivators, barriers and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in UK education.
Crowding after sudden habitat loss affects demography and social structure in a bat population
Authors: Amorim Francisco , Pita Ricardo , Mata Vanessa A. , Beja Pedro , Rebelo Hugo 
Published: January 2022

Abstract

The sudden loss of habitats due to natural or anthropogenic disturbances causes displacement of mobile animals from affected areas to refuge habitats, where large but often transitory concentrations of individuals may occur. While these local density increases have been previously described, the hypothesis that crowding disrupts demographic processes remains largely untested.

Here we used the sudden flooding of a river valley by a hydroelectric reservoir as a quasi‐experiment to investigate the consequences of crowding on demography, fecundity and social structure in the European free‐tailed bat Tadarida teniotis.

We monitored bat populations at roosts near and far from the flooded area, before (2013–2014), during (2015) and after (2016) habitat flooding. We assessed population demographic parameters using Capture–Mark–Recapture (CMR) models (3,821 PIT‐tagged individuals), and used genetic relatedness among individuals (1,407 individuals genotyped for 14 microsatellite markers) to infer changes in social structure.

Habitat loss through flooding was associated with significant but transitory increases in the number of bats using nearby roosts. This may be related to the higher probability of individuals arriving at those roosts during flooding, together with increases in individual local residency through time, particularly among males. Individual apparent survival was highest during flooding and lowest in the following year, while the probability of leaving a roost safe from flooding was higher near the impact area than farther away. Crowding did not negatively affect fecundity, but the arrival of new individuals led to changes in social structure as revealed by lower genetic relatedness between individuals after disturbance at roosts near the flooding area, but not in those farther afield.

Our study documents a clear example of crowding effects, suggesting that bats losing roosts due to a hydroelectric reservoir moved to alternative roosts, where local increases in population size and the arrival of new individuals reduced genetic relatedness and apparent survival, but not fecundity. These results support the hypothesis that crowding after habitat loss can disrupt population processes, even though effects may be subtle and short‐lived. Also, they point out the need to duly consider crowding effects when assessing and mitigating anthropogenic impacts on animal populations.
Improvisation and Innovation in Teams: The Jazz Effect
Authors: Audretsch David B. , Belitski Maksim , Bui Hong T. M. , Herzig Monika 
Published: January 2022

AbstractWhile numerous models examine the linkages between improvisation and innovation, the factors that moderate this relationship at the team level are unknown. Consequently, this study builds on principles and insights from the jazz jam session framework used by jazz musicians and regression analysis to examine the nature of the improvisation process and consider how it affects innovation. By using unbalanced panel data on 2,749 teams containing between two and eight employees in the United Kingdom during 2002–2016, this study demonstrates that the success of the improvisation process relies on both internal and external factors conducive to innovation. Subsequently, the conclusions drawn may help entrepreneurs and team managers think differently about the role improvisation plays in the innovation activity. As a result, important practical implications are drawn for team managers and entrepreneurs intending to cultivate a willingness to improvise in teams and nurture collaborative relationships with external partners for innovation.
The unbearable heaviness of being Kri: house construction and ethnolinguistic transformation in upland Laos
Authors: Zuckerman Charles H.P. , Enfield N.J. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractKri people in central Laos traditionally engage in ‘heavy’ practices, including a stipulation that houses must be relocated and the flooring discarded upon a death in the family. Such ‘heavy’ practices are considered ‘real Kri’, and they are not adhered to by those who identify as Kri Phòòngq. This article examines the adoption of more enduring housing construction among the Kri, and the dynamics of ethnic identity implied by the dilemmas raised for individuals and families who must choose between (a) maintaining the heavy life of real Kri, (b) innovating new and less heavy solutions, or (c) changing identity entirely.
Circ_0007385 regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis and stemness via targeting miR‐493‐3p/RAB22A axis in non‐small cell lung cancer
Authors: Ding Dongxiao , Yang Feng , Chen Zhongjie , Ying Junjie 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundNon‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common cancer in the United States. Previous studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can affect NSCLC progression, but its regulatory mechanism is still indistinct. In this study, we unfold the roles of circular RNA_0007385 in NSCLC tissues and cells.MethodsExpression levels of circ_0007385, microRNA‐493‐3p (miR‐493‐3p) and Ras‐related protein Rab‐22A (RAB22A) were detected by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) in NSCLC tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and stemness were examined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry analysis and sphere‐formation assay. The interaction between miR‐493‐3p and circ_0007385 or RAB22A was forecasted by bioinformatic analysis and detected by dual‐luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pulldown assays. In vivo experiments were implemented to verify the effect of circ_0007385 in vivo.ResultsExpression of circ_0007385 and RAB22A increased, whereas miR‐493‐3p level was decreased in NSCLC tissues in contrast to that in normal tissues. For functional analysis, circ_0007385 deficiency inhibited cell proliferation and stemness, whereas it promoted cell apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Mechanically, circ_0007385 acted as a miR‐493‐3p sponge to modulate RAB22A expression. Moreover, circ_0007385 could regulate the development of NSCLC by sponging miR‐493‐3p to regulate the expression of RAB22A. In addition, circ_0007385 silence also attenuated tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionsCirc_0007385 promoted NSCLC progression by sponging miR‐493‐3p to increase RAB22A expression, which also offered an underlying targeted therapy for NSCLC treatment.

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundPatients with early lung cancer often undergo surgery. However, surgery usually results in a decline in health‐related quality of life (HRQL). Several questionnaires have previously been used to assess HRQL but some are impractical for clinical use. The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) is simple and has been widely used in respiratory diseases but not for lung cancer. We therefore conducted this study to clarify the role of the CAT in postoperative deterioration and recovery of HRQL.MethodsFifty‐five patients who underwent lung resection were recruited into the study. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests and respiratory muscle strength were performed 1 week before surgery (pre‐OP) and at post‐OP 1 month. HRQL was assessed through the CAT and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ‐C30) 1 week pre‐OP and post‐OP 1 and at 2 months.ResultsFifteen (27.3%) patients underwent wedge resection, four (7.3%) underwent segmentectomy, and 36 (65.5%) underwent lobectomy. After lobectomy, exercise capacity decreased significantly. The deterioration of CAT symptoms (cough, phlegm, chest tightness, dyspnea, activity, confidence, sleep disturbance, and lack of energy) was more prominent in patients who had undergone lobectomy than wedge resection. Based on the EORTC QLQ‐C30, physical, role function, fatigue, pain, sleep disturbance, dyspnea, and global health status worsened significantly, whereas there was no significant difference in other symptoms. HRQL recovered at post‐OP 2 months in patients who had undergone wedge resection but not lobectomy.ConclusionsPostoperative HRQL and exercise capacity in patients were significantly reduced, especially those who had undergone lobectomy. The CAT significantly reflected postoperative changes in HRQL.
