AbstractUnderstanding roosting behaviour is essential to bat conservation and biomonitoring, often providing the most accurate methods of assessing population size and health. However, roosts can be challenging to survey. Roosts can be physically impossible to access or present risks for researchers and disturbance during monitoring can disrupt natural bat behaviour and present material risks to the population e.g. disrupting hibernation cycles.One solution to this is the use of non-invasive monitoring approaches. Environmental (e)DNA has proven especially effective at detecting rare and elusive species particularly in hard-to-reach locations. It has recently been demonstrated that eDNA is carried in air and, when collected in semi-confined spaces can provide remarkably accurate profiles of biodiversity, even in complex tropical communities.In this study we deploy novel airborne eDNA collection for air for the first time in a natural setting and use this approach to survey difficult to access potential roosts in the neotropics. Using airborne eDNA we confirmed the presence of bats in 9 out of 12 roosts. The identified species matched previous historical records of roost use obtained from photographic and live capture methods demonstrating the utility of this approach. We also detected the presence of the white-winged vampire bat (Diaemus youngi) which had never been confirmed in the area but was long suspected. In addition to the bats, we also detected several non-bat vertebrates, including the big-eared climbing rat (Ototylomys phyllotis), which has previously been observed in and around bat roosts. We also detected eDNA from other local species known to be in the vicinity. Using airborne eDNA to detect new roosts and monitor known populations, particularly when species turnover is rapid, could maximize efficiency for surveyors while minimizing disturbance to the animals. This study presents the first applied use of airborne eDNA collection for ecological analysis and demonstrates a clear utility for this technology in the wild.

SUMMARYV2-glycan/apex broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) recognize a closed quaternary epitope of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env). This closed structure is necessary to elicit apex antibodies and useful to guide maturation of other bnAb classes. To compare antigens designed to maintain this conformation, apex-specific responses were monitored in mice engrafted with a diverse repertoire of B cells expressing the HCDR3 of the apex bnAb VRC26.25. Engineered B cells affinity matured, guiding improvement of VRC26.25 itself. We found that soluble Env (SOSIP) variants differed significantly in their ability to raise anti-apex responses. A transmembrane SOSIP (SOSIP-TM) delivered as an mRNA-lipid nanoparticle elicited more potent neutralizing responses than multimerized SOSIP proteins. Importantly, SOSIP-TM elicited neutralizing sera from B cells engineered with the predicted VRC26.25-HCDR3 progenitor, which also affinity matured. Our data show that HCDR3-edited B cells facilitate efficientin vivocomparisons of Env antigens and highlight the potential of an HCDR3-focused vaccine approach.
Supporting university students’ learning across time and space: a from-scratch, personalised and mobile-friendly approach
Authors: Rossiter Eliza , Thomson T.J. , Fitzgerald Rachel 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of a bespoke mobile learning resource, Pocket Tutor. This resource responds to a number of teaching and learning challenges within the tertiary education context. These include those related to the number and type of learning activities that can be offered, class pacing, subject-specific content considerations and the availability and quality of off-the-shelf learning resources. Educators have to potentially contend with all of these amidst mounting institutional constraints and external pressures. Yet, a supplemental, from-scratch online learning resource can help mitigate some of these challenges.

Design/methodology/approach
This study presents the successes and challenges of introducing a mobile learning resource, Pocket Tutor, to bolster autonomous learning in a supported university learning environment. Pocket Tutor was designed and developed in 2019 and integrated in 2020 and 2021 into a multimedia design class offered at a large university in the Asia-Pacific. The resource’s effectiveness is measured against common technology acceptance factors – including self-efficacy, enthusiasm and enjoyment in relation to contextual purpose and class learning outcomes – through a multi-pronged approach consisting of a class-wide survey, developed specifically for this purpose and analysis of usage data. Deeper context was also provided through a small pool of follow-up interviews.

Findings
Evidence from this study’s data suggests that a bespoke, mobile-learning resource can provide greater consistency, more relevance, more flexibility for when and where students learn and more efficiency with limited opportunities for synchronous interaction. At the same time, a bespoke mobile-learning resource represents a significant investment of skill and time to develop and maintain.

Originality/value
This study responds to calls from scholars who argue that more research (especially that is qualitative and discipline-specific) is needed to investigate students’ willingness to use learning apps on their mobile devices. This study pairs such research about student willingness with actual usage data and student reflections to more concretely address the role of mobile learning resources in higher education contexts. This study also, importantly, does not just assess perceptions and attitudes about mobile learning resources in the abstract but assesses attitudes and usage patterns for specific generic and bespoke mobile learning resources available for students in a specific university class (thereby providing discipline-specific insights). This study also provides a unique contribution by including multiple years of data and, thus, offers a longitudinal view on how mobile-learning resources are perceived and used in a particular higher education context.
Sharing or hiding? The influence of supervisor bottom-line mentality on employee knowledge behaviors
Authors: Chen Silu , Liu Wenxing , Zhu Yanghao , Shu Peipei 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Drawing on the dual-strategies theory of social rank and leader distance theory, this paper aims to investigate the influence of supervisor bottom-line mentality (BLM) on employee knowledge-related behaviors by considering the mediating role of perceived leader prestige or dominance and the moderating role of supervisor–subordinate guanxi (SSG).

Design/methodology/approach
This study collected survey data from 185 research and development employees in East China at three-time points. The authors conducted path analysis and bootstrapping-based analytic approach to test the hypotheses by Mplus7.0.

Findings
The results showed that supervisor BLM has a negative effect on employee knowledge sharing and a positive effect on knowledge hiding. Besides, perceived leader prestige or dominance mediated the relationship between supervisor BLM and employee knowledge hiding. Furthermore, SSG moderated the relationship between supervisor BLM and perceived leader prestige or dominance, as well as the indirect effects of supervisor BLM on knowledge hiding via perceived leader prestige or dominance.

Originality/value
There is limited research on investigating the influence of supervisor BLM in the field of knowledge management. The authors carried out this study to provide evidence of how and when supervisor BLM affects employee knowledge sharing and hiding.
Factors of green innovation: the role of dynamic capabilities and knowledge sharing through green creativity
Authors: Ma Li , Ali Azhar , Shahzad Mohsin , Khan Adnan 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThe manufacturing industry has recently faced many environmental issues and pressures due to increased environmental awareness. Business leaders identified that green innovation (GI) is a crucial aspect of sustainable development (SD) and can provide a competitive edge. On the other hand, boosting SD through GI is a complicated network activity involving various partners, and there is a need to transmit or share knowledge equitably and acceptably. Following the natural resource-based view (NRBV), this research presents a novel framework for investigating how green knowledge sharing (GKS) and green dynamic capabilities (GDC) affect green creativity (GC) and GI directly and through GC. Besides, the moderation of mimetic pressure (MP) was also evaluated in these targeted relations, as it is a critical element for enhancing GI in the context of SD.Design/methodology/approachData consisted 232 respondents from Pakistani manufacturing industries, and seven substantial hypotheses were verified regarding the direct, mediating and moderating effect of targeted variables in confounding ways using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsAccording to the empirical findings, GKS and GDC positively correlate with GC and GI. Moreover, GKS and GDC significantly and positively impact GI both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, GC partially mediates GI, whereas MP has a significant moderating effect in these relationships.Originality/valueA significant correlation among these constructs was observed, demonstrating the conceptual framework for this study. These findings can assist practitioners and academics gain a better understanding of how to manage and evaluate GI in manufacturing projects at both the project and firm levels. Therefore, policymakers and project managers can enhance GI by focusing more on GKS, GDC, MP and GC.

Knowledge transferring and conversion in the early stage of collaborative product design by entrepreneurial teams
Authors: Laptev Georgy , Shaytan Dmitry 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
The purpose of the study is to discover a model of knowledge conversion and knowledge transferring/sharing barriers in an entrepreneurial team (ET) working with innovative users at the early and fuzzy front end (FFE) stage of collaborative product design (Co-PD) process.

Design/methodology/approach
The exploratory research framework included sampling, data collection and data analysis, through sequential levels of categorizations, undertaken jointly with constant comparative analysis. The sample frame is the pool of ETs/startups from university business accelerators that carry out Co-PD at the FFE stage. The research survey is based on observations of the collaborative ETs activities, questionnaires and in-depth interviews with them. The research was conducted on individual and team levels when Co-PD process and ET activities were in progress.

Findings
This study identified specific set of concepts of knowledge conversion and transferring/sharing and their barriers that reflect specificity of Co-PD processes at the FFE stage in collaborative ETs. The discovered conversion process is represented by the socialization, externalization and internalization, three-mode knowledge conversion model. The significance of barriers and frequency of their occurrence were measured in knowledge transferring/sharing in collaborative ETs on individual and team levels.

Originality/value
This study shows novel insights into how knowledge transfers/shares and converts in the context of ET working with innovative users in Co-PD process at the FFE stage.
Drivers of e-government use during the COVID-19 pandemic: the case of Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Hoai Than , Borazon Elaine Quintana 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted various systems that drove people to adapt to certain technologies, such as electronic government services, for daily survival and to meet social distancing requirements. Therefore, this study aims to determine the antecedents of e-government use based on prospect theory and modified unified theory of acceptance use of technology (UTAUT) during a pandemic.Design/methodology/approachConvenience sampling of 368 respondents from Vietnam was conducted, and questionnaires were distributed personally or by email. The data were analyzed following a two-stage structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS v23 and AMOS v23. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested and ensured.FindingsResults show that perceived severity drives government support and social influence while perceived security drives government support, social influence and trust. Social influence enhances government support and trust, which both drives e-government use. Mediation analysis shows that government support mediates perceived the influence of perceived severity on e-government use.Practical implicationsThe integration of prospect theory and UTAUT brings into light what will drive the adoption of e-government in the context of Vietnam. Supporting mechanisms, such as security measures, trust-building, government support and social influence, will drive citizens to adapt to technologies provided by the government but would also rely on the perceived risks and benefits.Originality/valueThis study integrates prospect theory and a modified version of UTAUT to explain the drivers of e-government use. The results reveal that under uncertainties, government support is critical in driving the use of e-government for people to manage the daily lives for survival.
Interim financial reporting disclosure by listed firms in the Asia-Pacific region and influencing factors
Authors: Nguyen Huu Cuong 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis study aims to examine the levels of interim financial reporting (IR) disclosure by listed firms in the Asia-Pacific region and factors influencing these disclosure levels.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on a sample of 700 interim reports issued in 2012 by the top 100 listed firms in seven Asia-Pacific countries (Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam), the author constructed a disclosure index consisting of disclosure items commonly required across the sample countries. Using this index, the study measures the extent to which listed firms in the Asia-Pacific Region comply with IR disclosure requirements. The study performs ordinary least square regression to investigate the influence of the four country-level factors including international financial reporting standard (IFRS) adoption, audit review, reporting frequency and reporting lag.FindingsThis research documents that IR disclosure varies significantly across the region. The IR disclosure levels are positively associated with IFRS adoption, audit review and mandatory of quarterly reporting, but negatively associated with reporting lag.Originality/valueIR regulation varies across the Asia-Pacific region, but there is no existing research on the country-level factors influencing IR disclosure practices. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first paper providing some insights into IR disclosure levels by listed firms in the region. It also contributes to the disclosure literature by providing empirical evidence on the country-level factors influencing these disclosure levels. Deriving from the findings, the authors offer recommendations for regulators, investors and listed firms on the issue of reviewing the regulation, using information and preparing IR.
Convergence analysis of science, technology, and environment expenditure: evidence from Indian states
Authors: Akram Vaseem 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
There is vast disparity in public expenditure on science, technology and environment (STE) across various Indian states. Public expenditure on STE is crucial in maintaining symmetric growth, social cohesion and sustainable development. Literature on this topic is scarce, which prompted the investigation of club convergence of STE public expenditure. In particular, the purpose of this paper to study the club convergence of STE public expenditure in the case of 20 Indian states during the period from 1987–1988 to 2019–2020.

Design/methodology/approach
This study applies the clustering algorithm to identify club convergence, advanced by the Phillips and Sul test, which enables identification of multiple steady states or club convergence, unlike beta and sigma convergences.

Findings
The findings of this paper show that all Indian states do not converge towards single steady states. This suggests a disparity in STE public expenditure across Indian states. Moreover, the findings favour three clubs that have their own unique transition paths. The results of this study are supported by the robustness check.

Practical implications
The findings suggest that the allocation of public expenditure on STE can be made based on club convergence to achieve social cohesion, sustainable development and millennium development goals across states.

Originality/value
Although several previous studies have investigated the convergence of public expenditure by considering either aggregate public expenditure or health/education expenditure, literature on the convergence hypothesis of STE public expenditure, particularly across Indian states, is scarce. Moreover, this paper is unique, as it examines multiple steady states or club convergence. Finally, this paper contributes to policymaking by suggesting which states should be given a push to achieve social cohesion and sustainable development.
Preparing leadership for daunting 21st Century challenges
Authors: Allio Robert J. 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Given the dynamic uncertainty of markets and the painful consequences of wrong choices, we need to adopt a realistic perspective on how to develop the next generation of leaders to respond to these and other dilemmas.

Design/Methodology/Approach
At the simplest level, good leadership is determined by who we are, what we do and how we do it. I contend that practice is essential: that leadership skills and competencies improve with experimentation, applied experience, critical self-evaluation and refinement. 10;

Findings
In sum, leadership is a journey of discovery. Leaders become competent only through deliberate practice, seeking feedback, engaging in humble reflection and remaining open to change.

Practical/Implications
Learning how to lead in radically different situations in a volatile era is not a challenge that a model can resolve.

Originality/value
Our current leadership models fail to offer useful, practicable guidance. Every good leader must makes choices based on a combination of factors, including his or her perception of organizational priorities, interpretation of the landscape and composition of stakeholders
A wall of treatments: An integrative problem‐solving approach to the prevention of stone‐throwing in East Jerusalem
Authors: Hasisi Badi , Itskovich Eran , Khoury‐Kassabri Mona 
Published: November 2022

Research summaryThere is growing evidence that some proactive policing strategies have shown promising results in reducing crime. Most of these strategies are generally applied separately to address specific components of criminal behavior, while the involvement in the crime itself may be caused by different factors. This raises the question of whether an integrative approach that addresses these factors could be an appropriate approach to reduce involvement in the crime. Furthermore, most of these policing strategies have been applied toward regular crime; this leaves us with the question of whether these strategies would show similar results when political offenses are involved as well. Our study focuses on the political offense of stone‐throwing in East Jerusalem, usually by Palestinian teenage boys. We applied an integrative approach in one of the Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, which included strategies such as focused deterrence, place‐based policing, cognitive behavioral therapy, diversion to nonenforcement tracks, and interventions at the community level. We found a large and significant reduction in the targeted neighborhood compared to similar Palestinian neighborhoods. We have not found evidence of displacement, but rather evidence of significant diffusion of crime‐control benefits.Policy implicationsThe results of the study suggest that an integrative approach that addresses the risks and needs of minority youth can help reduce their future involvement in political offenses. Furthermore, the implementation of promising strategies in the wider context of policing regular crimes may also be effective in responding to political offenses.
Extended scope of practice needed for Australian rural general surgeons: a review of South Australia's rural general surgical caseload and case mix

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundThere is a shortage of surgeons caring for the 33% of Australians residing in rural and regional areas. In order to help appreciate what rural general surgery entails and optimize training for aspiring rural surgeons, the aim of this study was to analyse the general surgical departments' procedural caseload and casemix in four rural South Australian hospitals.MethodsThis is a retrospective multi‐centre study involving four rural surgical centres in South Australia (Mt Gambier, Whyalla, Port Augusta, and Port Lincoln). Surgical procedures performed from 2014–2020 were extracted from departmental audits. To identify trends of surgical procedure over time, the data was divided into three time periods (Period 1: February 2014–December 2015, Period 2: January 2016–December 2017, Period 3: January 2018–March 2020).ResultsA total of 44 191 surgical procedures were performed, 70.2% being day procedures. 54% were endoscopic procedures, 46% were operative procedures. 60.6% of the operative procedures were general surgery procedures. 28.5% were general surgery‐based subspecialty (colorectal, hepato‐pancreato‐biliary, upper gastrointestinal, and breast). 10.9% were non‐general surgery‐based subspecialty (urology, plastics, vascular, orthopaedics, head and neck, and obstetrics and gynaecology). There were no statistically significant fluctuations in procedure caseload in all aspects (endoscopic and operative procedures) over the three time periods.ConclusionThe majority of a rural Australian general surgeon's procedures are endoscopic. Operative procedures are mainly general surgery based. It may be beneficial to equip aspiring rural general surgeons to manage basic non‐general surgery procedures (urological, vascular, and orthopaedic).
