Integrating corporate social responsibility into business functions and its impact on company performance: evidence from the Indonesian manufacturing industry
Authors: Rinawiyanti Esti Dwi , Xueli Huang , As-Saber Sharif N. 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) at a functional level and examine its impact on company performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Using data from 435 Indonesian manufacturing companies, 11 hypotheses were tested on direct, indirect and total effects of the relationship between functional CSR integration and its impact on company performance. The stakeholder and contingency theories were applied.

Findings
The findings of this study reveal that functional CSR integration has a significant impact on customer, employee, operational and financial performances. The findings show that the relationship between functional CSR integration and financial performance can be mediated by customer, employee and operational performances. The results of this study also highlight that functional CSR integration has a stronger total effect on both customer and financial performances in environmentally non-sensitive industries than in environmentally sensitive ones.

Research limitations/implications
This study expands the prior studies by providing a theoretical framework for the relationship between CSR integration and company performance, as well as testing the framework using quantitative research.

Practical implications
The findings can encourage managers to effectively integrate CSR into business functions to achieve superior social and financial performance, particularly in a developing country context.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to empirically investigate the performance implications of integrating CSR into business functions and reveals new findings on how such integration can substantially improve company performance.

Authors: Chithrangathan Chinchu 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Rehabilitation facilities available for persons with intellectual disabilities are low in India. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate an action research programme undertaken in Thrissur district, Kerala, India, to provide institution-based vocational training to selected beneficiaries of BUDS rehabilitation institutions.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 40 students were selected for the training programme. Different vocational activities were included according to criteria such as the abilities of students, sustainability and therapeutic value.

Findings
The results of data analysis showed that fraternity, engagement and collectivism were the themes that emerged from the conversations with students, teachers and parents. Some students showed marked improvements in various areas of functioning.

Research limitations/implications
Larger replication studies could provide more evidence for wider implementation.

Practical implications
There is a possibility of scaling up the model at the state or national level.

Social implications
This model could be adopted for providing better services to persons with intellectual disabilities in similar low- and middle-income settings.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first known attempt at examining the utility of vocational activity training as therapeutic intervention for persons with intellectual disabilities in India.

AbstractAnthropogenic activity can have substantial effects on wildlife. These effects may vary according to the characteristics of the activity and the species involved. Although effects on behaviour are well studied, studies of effects on fitness and physiology are scarce, particularly for group‐living species.We exploited a natural experimental setup to investigate the effect of diurnal pastoralism on juvenile recruitment and allostatic load in a population of free‐ranging spotted hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, over a 24‐year period.Pastoralism was restricted to the territories of two of the eight study clans, allowing us to compare juvenile recruitment in exposed and unexposed clans. We also compared faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations (fGMC)—a biomarker of an organism's allostatic load—between exposed and unexposed clans using 975 faecal samples from 475 hyenas.We found no detectable difference in juvenile recruitment nor fGMC between the exposed and unexposed clans, indicating that the pastoralism had no substantial deleterious effect on the spotted hyenas. The lack of a deleterious effect likely stems from the combined effect of the predictable and undisruptive nature of the pastoralism, the socio‐ecology of spotted hyenas and the Ngorongoro Crater's consistently abundant prey.Our findings demonstrate that exposure to anthropogenic activity may be compatible with the persistence of certain group‐living species, especially if the overlap between the species' critical behaviours and the activity is limited. Our study thereby provides new perspectives for ecologists, conservation biologists and stakeholders who seek to assess human–wildlife conflicts and balance the needs of local human communities and wildlife.
Heading Home? Reshoring and Sustainability Connectedness from a Home‐Country Consumer Perspective
Authors: Gillani Alvina , Kutaula Smirti , Budhwar Pawan S. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractExtensive globalisation has presented several sustainability challenges highlighted in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. These include the environmental impact of global product procurement and manufacturing and the irregular treatment of indigenous workers in developing countries. Thus, reshoring, defined as a firm's voluntary strategy to partially or totally relocate production to the home country, is gaining traction. However, most research on reshoring focuses on firms, leaving the consumers’ perspective under‐researched. Here, we examine British consumers’ perspectives on reshoring to the UK and sustainability. By employing the theoretical lens of connectedness, anchored in attachment theory, we conducted 30 in‐depth interviews using projective techniques and analysed the data using the constant comparison method. We found that consumers not only positively viewed their connectedness with the concept of reshoring from a sustainability perspective, but also appraised it from a global perspective, demonstrating empathy towards the host country. Further, they doubted corporations’ motives regarding reshoring. Three theoretical dimensions emerged based on consumers’ connectedness with reshoring and sustainability, specifically, supporting reshoring conditionally, inclusive reshoring, and doubting reshoring.
Why didn't you scream? Epistemic injustices of sexism, misogyny and rape myths
Authors: MacKenzie Alison 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, I discuss rape myths and mythologies, their negative effects on rape and sexual assault complainants, and how they prejudicially construct women qua women. The backdrop for the analysis is the Belfast Rugby Rape Trial, which took place in 2018. Four men, two of whom were well-known rugby players, were acquitted of rape and sexual assault in a nine-week criminal trial that dominated local, national and international attention. The acquittal resulted in ‘I Believe Her’ rallies and protests across Northern Ireland. Of concern were the deeply sexist and misogynistic text exchanges among the acquitted about the complainant and women more generally. One month after the trial, the Criminal Justice Board of Northern Ireland commissioned an independent review of the arrangements to deliver justice in cases of serious sexual offences. The Gillen Review proposed 16 key recommendations, among them measures to dispel rape myths and the role that Relationship and Sex Education in schools could play in combatting these myths. I will explore these issues using Miranda Fricker's construction of epistemic injustice. I argue that there is little appreciation of the profound impact that routine testimonial injustice—where the credibility of a speaker is deflated or undermined on account of her social identity—can have on the wellbeing of speakers and how it ramifies with other forms of injustice. To illustrate, I draw on neurological explanations to show why attributions of sexual consent are unjustly sustained in cases of rape and sexual assault.
Character education and the instability of virtue
Authors: Smith Richard 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Character education in schools in England is flourishing. I give many examples of the enthusiasm for it as well as drawing attention to the UK government's new ambivalence towards it. Character education seems largely impervious to the many criticisms to which it has been subjected. I touch on these only briefly as my focus is on a criticism that has received little coverage. This is because the virtues on offer are unstable. They are best understood as sites on which we contest our understanding of what it is to be a good person rather than reach conclusive answers. There is support for this argument in Aristotle, notwithstanding its many oddities and those of some modern uses of his conception of the virtues. The proliferation of the virtues in the practice and theory of education today is, I suggest, a sign of weakness and not of strength, while the very instability of the virtues demands that they be continually discussed and debated. This places them at the heart of any vision of education worth having.
Obedience
Authors: Rocha Samuel D 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis is a phenomenological description of existential obedience, which draws out a contrast between it and ressentiment and existential envy, and compares it with pedagogical obedience. The discussion is developed with reference especially to the work of Erich Fromm, Emerson, and Nietzsche. Eds: This paper forms part of a special issue titled ‘Beyond Virtue and Vice: Education for a Darker Age’, in which the editors invited authors to engage in exercises of ‘transvaluation’. Certain apparently settled educational concepts (from agency and fulfilment to alienation and ignorance) can be reinterpreted and transvaluated (in a Nietzschean vein) such that virtues become vices, and vices, virtues. The editors encouraged authors to employ polemics and some occasional exaggeration to reimagine educational values that are all too readily accepted within contemporary educational discourses.

Published: October 2022

AbstractA significant amount of waste is annually generated worldwide by the supply chain of the food industry. Considering the population growth, the environmental concerns, and the economic opportunities, waste recovery is a promising solution to produce valuable and innovative ingredients for food and nonfood industries. Indeed, plant‐based wastes are rich in dietary fibers (DF), which have relevant technical functionalities such as water/oil holding capacity, swelling capacity, viscosity, texture, and physiological properties such as antioxidant activity, cholesterol, and glucose adsorption capacities. Different drying technologies could be applied to extend the shelf life of fresh DF. However, inappropriate drying technologies or process conditions could adversely affect the functionalities of DF via the hornification phenomenon. Hornification is related to the formation of irreversible hydrogen bindings, van der Waals interactions, and covalent lactone bridges between cellulose fibrils during drying. This review aims to capitalize on the knowledge developed in the wood industry to tackle the hornification phenomenon occurring in the food industry. The mechanisms and the parameters affecting hornification as well as the mitigation strategies used in the wood industry that could be successfully applied to foods are summarized. The application of conventional drying technologies such as air or spray‐drying increased the occurrence of hornification. In contrast, solvent exchange, supercritical drying, freeze‐drying, and spray‐freeze‐drying approaches were considered effective strategies to limit the consequences of this phenomenon. In addition, incorporating capping agents before drying attenuated the hornification. The knowledge summarized in this review can be used as a basis for process design in the valorization of plant‐based wastes and the production of functional DF that present relevant features for the food and packaging industries.
Trehalose and its applications in the food industry
Authors: Chen Anqi , Tapia Hugo , Goddard Julie M. , Gibney Patrick A. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTrehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by α, α‐1,1‐glycosidic bond. It is present in a wide variety of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, insects, plants, and invertebrate animals. Trehalose has distinct physical and chemical properties that have been investigated for their biological importance in a range of prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. Emerging research on trehalose has identified untapped opportunities for its application in the food, medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. This review summarizes the chemical and biological properties of trehalose, its occurrence and metabolism in living organisms, its protective role in molecule stabilization, and natural and commercial production methods. Utilization of trehalose in the food industry, in particular how it stabilizes protein, fat, carbohydrate, and volatile compounds, is also discussed in depth. Challenges and opportunities of its application in specific applications (e.g., diagnostics, bioprocessing, ingredient technology) are described. We conclude with a discussion on the potential of leveraging the unique molecular properties of trehalose in molecular stabilization for improving the safety, quality, and sustainability of our food systems.

Published: October 2022

AbstractPu‐erh tea belongs to dark tea among six major teas in China. As an important kind of post‐fermented tea with complex microbial composition, Pu‐erh tea is highly praised by many consumers owing to its unique and rich flavor and taste. In recent years, Pu‐erh tea has exhibited various physiological activities to prevent and treat metabolic diseases. This review focuses on the fungi in Pu‐erh tea and introduces the sources, types, and functions of fungi in Pu‐erh tea, as well as the influence on the quality of Pu‐erh tea and potential safety risks. During the process of fermentation and aging of Pu‐erh tea, fungi contribute to complex chemical changes in bioactive components of tea. Therefore, we examine the important role that fungi play in the quality formation of Pu‐erh tea. The associations among the microbial composition, chemicals excreted, and potential food hazards are discussed during the pile‐fermentation of Pu‐erh tea. The quality of Pu‐erh tea has exhibited profound changes during the process of pile‐fermentation, including color, aroma, taste, and the bottom of the leaves, which are inseparable from the fungus in the pile‐fermentation of Pu‐erh tea. Specifically, the application prospects of various detection methods of mycotoxins in assessing the safety of Pu‐erh tea are proposed. This review aims to fully understand the importance of fungi in the production of Pu‐erh tea and further provides new insights into subtly regulating the piling process to improve the nutritional properties and guarantee the safety of Pu‐erh tea.
The geography of religions: Comparing Buddhist and Taoist sacred mountains in China
Authors: Qiu Mengyuan , Pei Qing , Lin Ziyuan 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIncreasing attention has been given to geographical contributions to cultural heritage in religion. However, comparative quantitative research remains scarce. As a first attempt, this study presents findings from comparative spatial and statistical analyses of the geographical distribution and features of mountains in China sacred in Taoism and Buddhism. Because both have strong orientations to natural environments, we find more similarities than differences between them, even though the two religions have different origins, philosophies, and doctrines. The results empirically support the influences of Taoism on Buddhism in China, findings that supplement current understandings of Buddhism in China in terms of the geographical dynamics of integration and sinicisation of Chinese culture. The findings also enrich current debates, including in this journal, emphasising the importance of environmental symbols in studies on geography and religion. Connecting humanity with physical geography in light of the changes, including grief, being wrought in the Anthropocene, we hope to inspire more geographically grounded and methodologically eclectic studies on religions.
Habitat restoration is the greatest challenge for population recovery of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus)
Authors: HE Qingqing , YAN Shasha , GARBER Paul A. , REN Baoping , QI Xvming , ZHOU Jiang 
Published: October 2022

AbstractHainan gibbons are among the world's most critically endangered primates, with a remaining population of only 35 individuals distributed across 5 social groups in the Bawangling Branch of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China. Habitat conversion and forest fragmentation over the past 40 years have reduced their geographical distribution by 95%. In the absence of a quantitative assessment of the availability of remaining suitable habitat, it is unclear whether this species can survive to the end of this century. We used behavioral observations, ArcGIS, remote sensing, stereo optical imagery, and MaxEnt modeling to identify patterns of Hainan gibbon range use and compare changes in the distribution of suitable forest types and areas of forest fragmentation over the past 20 years (2000–2020). The results indicate that the combined range of the 5 extant Hainan gibbon groups totaled 14.89 km2. The home range of the smallest group (Group E, 3 individuals) was 1.51 km2, which likely represents the minimum home range size for this species. The remaining area of highly suitable and moderately suitable habitat totals 26.9 km2. However, habitat connectivity across the gibbon range is very low (less than 0.5), limiting the ability of Hainan gibbons to move between forest patches. The results of this study indicate that the availability of suitable habitat in Bawangling is insufficient to allow for future Hainan gibbon population growth. Therefore, immediate action must be taken to restore, reforest, and establish ecological corridors to reconnect areas of suitable habitat for these critically endangered gibbons.
Navigating the glass labyrinth: Addressing gender diversity in Australian and New Zealand representative radiology leadership

Published: October 2022

AbstractIntroductionGender inequity among representative leadership in Clinical Radiology is a global issue, with the lack of gender diversity in leadership even more marked when compared to workforce representation. Women leaders face a disproportionate magnitude of seen and unseen challenges to leadership engagement and progression when compared to men (a ‘glass labyrinth’), which is likely contributing to this discrepancy. The aim of the study was to examine and reflect on the state of gender diversity in representative leadership within the RANZCR Faculty of Clinical Radiology.MethodsReview of the 2021 Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) Board, Clinical Radiology Faculty Council and local Branch Committees with regard to the numbers of women and men in representative roles.ResultsIn 2021, the RANZCR Board had no women representatives from Clinical Radiology (one woman representative from Radiation Oncology). 1/5 Clinical Radiology Faculty Council office Bearers were women. Local Branch Committees had 16.3% (13/80) women representatives. Three branches (the NSW, ACT and Victorian branches) had no women representatives. There were no women Committee Chairs, Branch Secretaries or Treasurers, with 2/7 Branch Education Officers women.ConclusionThe issues underpinning gender inequality in representative leadership are complex and diverse, resulting in disproportionate losses of women radiologists along the leadership pathway compared to men. Unconscious biases, including assumptions of inferior capability, capacity and credibility among women radiologist leaders, create unique challenges at organisational, institutional and personal levels. Change cannot be achieved by passive momentum alone: concrete initiatives and active engagement are required. To improve leadership diversity, strategies must be multifaceted and supported at an organisational level.
Root cortical aerenchyma, characteristics and nutrient use efficiency of different maize hybrids during drought and rehydration process

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe importance of cortical aerenchyma in flood and drought resistance is well established. However, effects of the combination of the two factors remain unclear. We tested the hypothesis that under conditions of substantial water alteration, enhanced root cortical aerenchymas (RCAs) could not only exert a positive effect on root functions under drought periods but also influence nitrogen capture, soil exploration and compensation growth after rehydration. Three maize varieties, Yurui2 (YR2), Yunrui6 (YR6) and Yunrui167 (YR167), were grown under rainfed field conditions, and a subset was grown initially under well‐watered and extreme‐drought conditions, followed by the same simulated rainfed field conditions, in order to compare the effects on the RCAs during the growing season. Root morphology and function parameters were measured, and variation in the RCAs was induced by water stress. Under extreme drought, we found substantial variation in the RCAs (from 0% to 37%) and drought tolerance performance. During the rehydration stage, different RCA components exerted different effects on maize, recovery parameters and plant N use efficiency. YR6 showed resilient growth, whereas recovery was inhibited in YR167 and YR2, respectively, which possessed the lowest and highest RCA area percentages. The results support the hypothesis that RCA area percentage under drought periods are important for maize recovery after post‐drought rehydration.
