Rethinking investors' herding behavior under the conditions of reward-based crowdfunding platform
Authors: Zhu Zujun , Liu Junzhe , Zhang Mengru 
Published: October 2022

PurposeReward-based crowdfunding, an emerging financing channel for SMEs, has attracted significant attention from scholars and practitioners. Scholars have mostly explored investors’ herding behavior in platforms to better understand investors’ decision-making mechanisms and management of funding projects. However, current evidence is inconsistent regarding herding behavior during the funding process. This study proposes prior funding performances have a nonlinear effect on subsequent funding performance and that this nonlinear relationship is conditional on competition intensity and information disclosure.Design/methodology/approachBased on objective data collected from a dominant reward-based crowdfunding platform in China, this study follows a panel ordinary least squares (OLS) model to estimate the effects of prior funding performance on the subsequent funding performance and the moderating role of environmental factors (i.e. competition intensity and information disclosure) in a given platform.FindingsThe results show prior funding performance had an inverted U-shaped effect on subsequent performance; this inverted U-shaped relationship was attenuated when the number of interactive messages was larger and competition was more intense, and it was strengthened when information updates were more frequent.Originality/valueThe effects of prior funding performance on subsequent performance at different stages of the fundraising process and under different platform environments remains unclear. The authors revisit the varying viewpoints in existing research and propose that the enhancement and substitution effects of prior funding performance are dominant at different funding stages. Overall, the results of this study highlight that the crowdfunding platform environment may become a boundary condition for investors' herding behavior.
Communication strategies: encouraging healthy diets for on-the-go consumption
Authors: Jebarajakirthy Charles , Das Manish , Rundle-Thiele Sharyn , Ahmadi Hormoz 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Unhealthy (vice) on-the-go (OTG) dietary practices result in potentially serious health consequences. However, research on encouraging healthy eating intentions for OTG consumption is scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the role of message framing and source expertise in encouraging the healthy eating intention for OTG consumption.

Design/methodology/approach
Two scenario-based experiments were conducted. Study 1 collected data from 136 Australian OTG consumers to examine the effectiveness of message framing (gain vs loss) in encouraging healthy OTG consumption. Study 2 collected data from 178 Australian OTG consumers to examine the interaction effects of message framing and source credibility on encouraging healthy OTG consumption.

Findings
Gain-framed messages were more effective than loss-framed messages in encouraging healthy eating for OTG consumption. This difference would be significant only if the gain-framed messages were from a high expert source rather than from a low expert source.

Research limitations/implications
The study is a cross-sectional survey of Australian OTG consumers. Replicating this study in other countries may generalise the study’s findings.

Practical implications
Practically, this study provides insights to marketers and other relevant stakeholders to design effective advertising messages to encourage healthy eating for OTG consumption.

Originality/value
This is the pioneering study investigating the impact of message framing and source credibility in encouraging healthy eating for OTG consumption.
Technology attachment, e-Attitude, perceived value, and behavioral intentions towards Uber-ridesharing services: the role of hedonic, utilitarian, epistemic, and symbolic value
Authors: Hasan Abdulla Al-Towfiq 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe study aims to empirically test the effects of antecedents on behavioral intentions towards Uber-ridesharing services. The antecedents are perceived value (hedonic, utilitarian, epistemic, and symbolic value), e-Attitude, and technology attachment (smartphone use, Internet use, and e-Involvement). Moreover, the study explores the mediating effect of three-dimensional perceived value (hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value) and e-Attitude; and the moderating effect of symbolic value on behavioral intentions towards Uber-ridesharing services.Design/methodology/approachA mixed survey (75% Google Form, 25% face to face) was conducted in Bangladesh to collect data from customers who had previously participated in Uber-ridesharing services, one of the largest ridesharing platforms in Bangladesh. Subsequently, data were analyzed based on the structural equation modeling technique using SmartPLS 3.3.3.FindingsThe study findings revealed that hedonic value, utilitarian value, epistemic value, symbolic value, e-Attitude, smartphone use, internet use, e-Involvement had a direct significant positive impact on behavioral intentions. Also, e-Attitude significantly impacted hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value. In addition, Smartphone use, internet use, and e-Involvement significantly influenced e-Attitude. Moreover, the study findings revealed that hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value partially mediates between e-Attitude and behavioral intentions; and e-Attitude partially mediates between Smartphone use, Internet use, and e-Involvement and hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value and behavioral intentions. Furthermore, the results indicate that epistemic value significantly moderates the relationship between hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value and behavioral intentions.Practical implicationsThis study uncovers some insightful findings for ridesharing services providers and managers helping to build customers' positive behavioral intentions towards Uber-ridesharing services. In particular, practitioners can improve cost-efficiency, hedonic and symbolic aspects, availability of rides of Uber-ridesharing services. Moreover, the ridesharing services managers should adopt technology-based service opportunities.Originality/valueThe study enriches sharing economy literature, especially ridesharing services, exploring the direct effect of epistemic value, e-Attitude, smartphone use, Internet use, and e-Involvement on behavioral intentions. Moreover, this study presents smartphone use, Internet use, and e-Involvement as new antecedents of e-Attitude and behavioral intentions. Furthermore, the study explores the mediating effect of hedonic, utilitarian, and epistemic value and e-Attitude; and the moderating effect of symbolic value in Uber-ridesharing service perspective.
Examining energy poverty in Chinese households: An Engel curve approach
Authors: Shafiullah Muhammad , Jiao Zhilun , Shahbaz Muhammad , Dong Kangyin 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article is first to model energy poverty in Chinese households using an Engel curve approach. To analyse the determinants of energy poverty and energy expenditures across households, we avail the 2015 wave of the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS). Possible presence of endogeneity is accounted for in the model specification as well as by using the Lewbel heteroscedasticity identified endogenous variables estimator. In addition, we are the first to scrutinise disparity and discrimination by conducting the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition of energy poverty model by gender, ethnicity, region (Eastern vs. non‐Eastern provinces), and urbanisation status (rural vs. urban residents). Our analysis shows: (i) education is the key determinant of various energy poverty measures and energy expenditure shares across Chinese households; (ii) other determinants including fossil fuel mix and electricity price discrimination are found to worsen energy poverty, on average. However, fossil fuel mix is found to increase expenditure share of total energy, electricity, and coal and decrease that of biomass; and (iii) the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition analyses show no statistically significant gender or ethnic discrimination in energy poverty rates. However, there is substantial divide between Eastern and non‐Eastern provinces and between rural and urban households—with these groups also discriminated against when accessing clean cooking fuels and technologies. The Blinder–Oaxaca results also generally support the logistic and the Lewbel energy poverty model findings.
Impact of government policy responses of COVID‐19 pandemic on stock market liquidity for Australian companies
Authors: Kassamany Talie , Zgheib Bernard 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of government policy responses of COVID‐19 pandemic on stock market liquidity for listed Australian companies and for 11 different industries separately. A quantitative deductive approach is used for a sample of 1,452 companies with a total of 292,164 firm‐day observations over a period from January 25, 2020 to December 31, 2020 during the outbreak of COVID‐19. Univariate and multivariate (two‐way cluster‐robust panel regression) analysis were conducted. Data were collected from the Oxford COVID‐19 Government Response Tracker, Worldmeter, Refinitiv Workspace and Datastream. Our findings indicate that the influences of the six out of seven stringency policy responses reduced Australian equity market liquidity. However, public information campaigns enhanced market liquidity and hence trading activity. Among the 11 industries, our analysis shows that the non‐pharmaceutical interventions by the Australian government have significant and positive effects on four industries: Consumer non‐cyclicals, healthcare, financial and technology. However, the worse effects were depicted in the industrial (transportation) and energy industries. This study is important for investors, policymakers and regulators to understand the diverse effects of government policy responses of COVID‐19 on stock market liquidity to enhance financial stability. Moreover, understanding this effect is particularly important to decision‐makers such as portfolio and fund managers to manage their portfolios and trading activities during extreme turbulence times, such as COVID‐19. Unlike previous studies that focus on country analysis, this study examines on firm basis the impact of government interventions on stock market liquidity in a well developed Australian stock market.
Navigating the uncertainties of next‐generation sequencing in the genetics clinic

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study explores the different manifestations and navigations of uncertainty in the practice of diagnostic next‐generation sequencing (NGS) testing. Drawing upon multi‐sited fieldwork conducted at a large Centre for Human Genetics in Belgium, we analyse how uncertainty takes shape and is managed in the different steps of the diagnostic process: starting from the testing offer, to the analysis in the lab, the multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) and ending with the consultation with the patient. Building on interviews with genetic healthcare professionals and their patients and observations in consultations and MDTs, our empirical work underlines the duality of uncertainty as both burdensome and productive. Building on the existing literature on uncertainty in medicine and NGS, our analysis shows the ontological politics at play in the everyday uncertainty work in this CHG. We show how the, at times, contrasting ways of dealing with uncertainty lead to friction but also result in constructive negotiation and collaboration between actors, making use of multiple types of evidence and expertise. By not only minimising but also sustaining or inviting uncertainty, genetic healthcare professionals are able to advance the practices around NGS in a way that matches their multidisciplinary understandings, considerations and more normative stances.
Prolonged length of stay is associated with reduced hand hygiene compliance in the emergency department: A single centre retrospective study

Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo examine whether patient flow factors in the ED such as prolonged length of stay are associated with hand hygiene (HH) compliance.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study at an urban district hospital utilising available data from January 2018 to December 2021. Compliance to the World Health Organization five moments of HH expressed as percentage of total moments observed were collated every 2 months. Patient flow measures including proportion of patients referred or discharged within 4 h (LOS4), proportion of patients with ED length of stay >24 h (LOS24) and total number of patient presentations, were obtained for each 2‐month periods. The association between these patient flow measures and HH compliance was examined using Pearson's correlation (P < 0.05).ResultsThe results showed a moderate and significant association between rates of HH compliance and LOS24 (r = −0.48, P = 0.025). That is, lower proportion of patients with ED length of stay >24 h was associated with improved HH compliance. There was no significant correlation between HH compliance and LOS4 (r = 0.38, P = 0.085) or total number of ED presentations (r = −0.30, P = 0.17).ConclusionsThe findings show that prolonged ED length of stay may explain, at least partly, lower rates of HH compliance. Improvements in ED HH compliance should also include strategies that enhance patient flow.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundOral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging method for treating food allergy in children. However, data regarding adults undergoing this process are lacking.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with food allergy aged ≥17 years who completed OIT treatment between April 2010 and December 2020 at Shamir Medical Center. Data were compared with that of children aged 4 to <11 years and adolescents aged ≥11 to 17 treated during the same time period.ResultsA total of 96 adults at a median age of 22.3 years who underwent OIT for milk (n = 53), peanut (n = 18), sesame (n = 7), egg (n = 5), and tree nuts (n = 13) were analyzed and compared with 1299 children and 309 adolescents. Adults experienced more adverse reactions requiring injectable epinephrine, both during in‐clinic up‐dosing (49% vs. 15.9% and 26.5% for children and adolescents, respectively, p < 0.0001) and during home treatment (22.9% vs. 12.4%, p = 0.007 for children, and 17.5%, p = 0.23 for adolescents). Most adults (61.5%) were fully desensitized, but the rates of full desensitization were significantly lower than children (73.4%, p = 0.013). Significantly more adults (28.3%) undergoing milk OIT failed treatment than children (14.3%, p = 0.015) and adolescents (14.1%, p = 0.022), while failure rates in adults undergoing OIT for other foods were low (9.3%) and comparable with children and adolescents.ConclusionsOIT is successful in desensitizing most adults with IgE‐mediated food allergy. Adults undergoing milk OIT are at increased risk for severe reactions and for OIT failure while failure rates in adults undergoing OIT for other foods are low.
What's Not to Love? Rethinking Appeals to Tradition in Contemporary Debates in Trinitarian Theology
Authors: McCall Thomas 
Published: October 2022

AbstractContemporary discussions of the doctrine of the Trinity are sometimes centered on debates between ‘Social Trinitarians’ and ‘Classical Trinitarians.’ Those who align with ‘Social Trinitarianism’ usually insist that an adequate doctrine of the Trinity demands an affirmation of intra‐Trinitarian mutual love – and thus reject the doctrine of divine simplicity and numerical sameness out of a commitment to being fully Trinitarian. Meanwhile, those who want to recover ‘Classical Trinitarianism’ insist that the doctrine of divine simplicity is true and salutary – and thus reject any notion of love shared between the Father and Son within the divine life. I argue that both alternatives are profoundly out of step with the theological tradition they claim to retrieve and represent, for simultaneous affirmations of divine simplicity and mutual love are found all across the tradition of Latin scholastic theology. Constructive Trinitarian theology that makes appeal to the ‘classical’ tradition should take this diversity and complexity into account.
Fostering proactive behaviour: The role of work‐related reflection, psychological empowerment, and participative safety for innovative behaviour and job crafting
Authors: Messmann Gerhard 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis contribution aimed at investigating how work‐related reflection as cognitive efforts towards developing an understanding of work tasks, the surrounding work context, and one's professional competencies adds to the role of psychological empowerment and participative safety in predicting innovative behaviour and job crafting as two forms of proactivity. Quantitative data from 295 employees of micro, small, and medium‐sized organizations in the information sector were collected with a cross‐sectional questionnaire. For hypotheses testing, structural equation modelling was employed. The results of the study showed that work‐related reflection and psychological empowerment were substantially related to innovative behaviour and job crafting while participative safety only played a minor role. These findings imply that jobs need to contain empowering and sufficiently complex work tasks that require reflection and provide occasions for reflective interactions to enable employees to create efficient routines and adapt to changes at work. Furthermore, experiences of empowerment need to be rooted in social interactions at work. Likewise, the value of reflection will only unfold if employees and supervisors regularly engage in reflection.
Impact of strengths model training and supervision on the therapeutic practice of Australian mental health clinicians
Authors: Pullman John , Santangelo Peter , Molloy Luke , Campbell Steven 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study explored the impact of Strengths Model training, supervision and mentorship on the practice of a group of multi‐disciplinary mental health clinicians that included mental health nurses, social workers, psychologists, and occupational therapists. A qualitative approach that combined critical realism and grounded theory was used. The findings demonstrated how a substantive category, Getting to Know Clients Better, facilitated participants' progression through a basic social psychological process, Becoming a Strengths‐Informed Practitioner. This process consisted of a discernible and sustained change towards more person‐centred, hopeful, and recovery‐oriented practice. The findings also described an underlying generative mechanism for this, the Client Becomes Visible, which accorded with theoretical models of empathy, based on enhanced cognitive processing. The strength‐based approach to practice facilitated the establishment of a collaborative relationship and a stronger therapeutic alliance between the client and clinician. The research demonstrated that Strengths Model is an effective vehicle for improving recovery‐orientated mental health services.
Have some confidence in contact: Self‐efficacy beliefs among children moderate the associations between cross‐group friendships and outgroup attitudes
Authors: Bagci Sabahat , Turnuklu Abbas , Tercan Mustafa , Cameron Lindsey , Turner Rhiannon 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe investigated how and when individuals transform existing cross‐group interactions into more positive attitudes towards outgroups. Specifically focusing on the context of Syrian immigration to Turkey, we examined whether native children'scross‐group friendship self‐efficacy beliefs—the perception of their abilities about building successful cross‐group interactions—moderated the direct and indirect associations between cross‐group friendship quantity (measured by the number of Syrian friends), cross‐group friendship positivity and negativity, and attitudinal outcomes (outgroup attitudes, intergroup anxiety, and social distance). Analyses of correlational data (5th graders,N = 746) demonstrated that direct and indirect (through cross‐group friendship positivity) associations between cross‐group friendship quantity and positive intergroup outcomes were stronger among children who held greater self‐efficacy beliefs. Importantly, quantity of such friendships was related to more negative intergroup outcomes through negative contact experiences among children who reported lower self‐efficacy beliefs. Theoretical implications of the findings and possible interventions targeting self‐efficacy beliefs in intergroup contact strategies were discussed.
Eternal Friends or Jubilant Brexiteers? The Impact of Brexit on UK MEPs' Parliamentary Work in the European Parliament
Authors: Kantola Johanna , Miller Cherry 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe aim of this article is to analyse the impact of Brexit on UK MEPs' parliamentary work in the European Parliament. The UK MEPs enjoyed full rights of MEPs, yet Brexit made their terms short and fixed. Furthermore, the Brexit process constituted a highly emotionally charged moment for politicians' parliamentary work. The article is based on a unique dataset of 130 MEP and political staff interviews and a parliamentary ethnography conducted in Brussels and Strasbourg in 2018–2020 at the time of Brexit. The empirical findings include the identification of four ways that MEPs and staff constructed the work of the outgoing UK MEPs: The Full MEP; The Scrupulous Brexit Scrutineer; The Eternal Friend; and The Jubilant Brexiteer. The empirical analysis provides a rich and nuanced account of the UK MEPs' parliamentary work differentiated by their political party and political group background.
Trading and liquidity in the catastrophe bond market
Authors: Herrmann Markus , Hibbeln Martin 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe provide first insights into secondary market trading, liquidity determinants, and the liquidity premium of catastrophe bonds. Based on transaction data from TRACE (Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine), we find that cat bonds are traded less frequently during the hurricane season and more often close to maturity. Trading activity indicates that the market is dominated by brokers without a proprietary inventory. Liquidity is high in periods of high trading activity in the overall market and for bonds with low default risk or close to maturity, which results from lower order processing costs. Finally, using realized bid–ask spreads as a liquidity measure, we find that on average, 21% of the observable yield spread on the cat bond market is attributable to the liquidity premium, with a magnitude of up to 141 bps for high‐risk bonds.
