Sustainability reporting regime transition and the impact on intellectual capital reporting
Authors: Van der Zahn J.-L.W. Mitchell 
Published: November 2022

PurposeTo investigate, compare and document the magnitude and extent of intellectual capital disclosure to sustainability disclosure during a transition from a voluntary to mandated “comply or explain” sustainability reporting regime. And to empirically test if, during the regime transition period, changes in the magnitude (extent) of sustainability disclosure is a significant determinant of changes in the magnitude (extent) of intellectual capital disclosure.Design/methodology/approachContent analysis of 1,744 annual reports drawn from 436 Singapore listed firms spanning a four-year observation window (i.e. April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2018). The magnitude (number of sentences) and extent (number of items) of (1) intellectual capital disclosure measured using a 38-item index; (2) sustainability disclosure of a 105-item index; and (3) 15-item index to measure the magnitude and extent of joint sustainability/intellectual capital disclosure.FindingsThe average magnitude and extent of sustainability and the joint sustainability/intellectual capital disclosure increased whilst the average magnitude and extent of intellectual capital disclosure increased when regulatory discussion of a change to mandated sustainability reporting emerged. However, in the annual period the mandated sustainability reporting became effective while the average magnitude and extent of intellectual capital disclosure declined. Regression tests indicate a significant (insignificant) association between the change in the magnitude (extent) of sustainability disclosure and intellectual capital disclosure.Research limitations/implicationsFrom a research perspective, the analysis implies researchers investigating the consequences of mandated sustainability disclosure should consider impact on alternative non-financial disclosure themes and develop theoretical frameworks to derive why and how management may shift non-financial reporting strategies and practices.Practical implicationsFor regulators, findings suggest there may be a need to weigh spillover costs of reductions in transparency related to intellectual capital. For investors, declines in the magnitude and extent of intellectual capital disclosure following a transition to mandated sustainability reporting may limit future firm valuation particularly of heavy intangible asset-oriented firms.Originality/valueInitial study empirically investigating the impact of the transition from a voluntary to mandated sustainability reporting regime on the magnitude and extent of intellectual capital disclosure.

Authors: Agarwal Sucheta , Agrawal Vivek , Ramadani Veland , Dixit Jitendra Kumar , Gërguri-Rashiti Shqipe 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
During the different phases of enterprise creation, entrepreneurial learning (EL) can be understood as an effective process. This study aims to find out the cause-and-effect relationships of the factors that are impacting EL.

Design/methodology/approach
This research has been conducted in two ways: first, the factors are identified through a systematic analysis of EL, and second, the cause-and-effect relationship among EL factors is analyzed using decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory, which is dependent on the opinion of experts. A network relationship matrix is also drawn from the measured factors.

Findings
A causal relationship has been established within the identified EL factors. Results indicate that educators and practitioners should focus and concentrate on the cause group-related factors, which are entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial training, entrepreneurial competencies, experiences, family influence and role models. The remaining two, entrepreneurial perception and entrepreneurial willingness, are identified as being in the effect group. These two factors are affected and influenced by the cause group factors.

Research limitations/implications
By recognizing the multidimensionality of EL, this study gives the chance to look at what it means to be an entrepreneur from both a personal and a social point of view, including learning styles, learning from mistakes and self-regulated learning. Future research is urged to build tools that accurately capture this crucial factors of EL, thus allowing the field to gain greater integration and information accumulation.

Originality/value
Researchers have previously described factors that influence EL, but to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of few studies that depict the cause-and-effect relationship between EL factors. These factors are critical to the growth of talented entrepreneurs in both developed and developing countries for promoting an entrepreneurial culture.

Authors: Alharbi Mohammed Abdullah , Alqefari Abdulrahman Nasser 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the uptake of peer vs. instructor feedback provided on written essays by undergraduates in a writing course at a public university in Saudi Arabia.Design/methodology/approachThis was a classroom intervention exploratory study with 16 pairs of students attending a writing class over a period of 14 weeks.FindingsAnalysis of feedback and uptake indicated that the students incorporated a high rate (85.21%) of feedback in revising their essays. The results also showed that the quantity of students’ uptake of instructor feedback (88.77%) was higher than that of peer feedback (82.17%). In terms of the rate of uptake of global feedback focusing on content and organization vs. local feedback focusing on language and formatting, the rate of uptake of local feedback (85.34%) was slightly higher than the uptake of global feedback (84.90%). The current results also showed that the quality of feedback (peer vs. instructor feedback and global vs. local feedback) also varied. Students’ perspectives on feedback underlined their perceived value of feedback on writing, their preference for instructor feedback and the perceived benefits of providing and receiving feedback.Originality/valueThis study investigated an area that has been under-researched in the Saudi higher education context and it has direct implications for the provision of feedback in writing classes.

Improving the color strength of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabrics with a turmeric natural dye
Authors: Zare Abolfazl 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This study aims to enhance the dyeability of polyester fabrics with turmeric natural dyes through plasma and alkaline treatments. The aim is to achieve better color strength in dyed samples without significant changes in their other properties. This is done while the weight loss is kept in a range with no considerable effect on those properties.

Design/methodology/approach
The surface of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabric was modified using oxygen plasma at a low temperature. The alkaline hydrolysis of that polyester fabric was also done through treating it with an aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The untreated and treated polyester fabrics were studied for the changes of their physical characteristics such as weight loss, wetting behavior, strength loss, bending length, flexural rigidity and K/S and wash fastness. The samples were treated with plasma and sodium hydroxide and dyed with a turmeric natural dye.

Findings
In comparison to the untreated sample, the plasma-treated, alkaline-treated and plasma treatment followed by alkaline hydrolysis polyester experienced 9.3%, 68.6% and 102.3% increase in its color depth as it was dyed with a turmeric natural dye, respectively. The plasma treatment was followed by alkaline hydrolysis. The improvement in the color depth could be attributed to the surface modification.

Originality/value
In this paper, investigations were conducted of the separate effects of plasma treatment and alkaline hydrolysis as well as their synergistic effect on the dyeing of the polyester fabric with a natural dye obtained from turmeric.

Authors: Wang Ruizhe , Li Runsheng , Wang Guilan , Zhang Mingbo , Huang Jianwu , Lin Hang , Zhang Haiou 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology-based cold metal transfer (CMT) to produce large aluminum alloy parts has become more and more popular. In WAAM, wire is the only raw material. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of wire composition on the microstructure and properties of the ZAlCu5MnCdVA alloy deposited by WAAM.

Design/methodology/approach
Two thin-walled ZAlCu5MnCdVA alloys with different wire compositions were prepared by WAAM. The copper contents were 4.7% (Al-4.7Cu) and 5.0% (Al-5.0Cu), respectively. The microstructure, element distribution and evolution of precipitated phases of the two samples were characterized and analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Hardness and tensile properties of samples were tested, and strengthening mechanism was analyzed in detail.

Findings
The results show that grain sizes of Al-4.7Cu and Al-5.0Cu are less than 40 μm. The average mass fraction of Cu in Al matrix and the number of nanometer scale θ'' and θ' phases are the main factors affecting the tensile properties of Al-Cu alloy. Tensile properties of two materials show different characteristics at room temperature and high temperature. Al-5.0Cu is better at room temperature and Al-4.7Cu is better at high temperature. The yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation in the x direction of Al-5.0Cu at room temperature are 451 ± 10.2 MPa, 486 ± 10.2 MPa and 9 ± 0.5%, respectively. The YS, UTS and elongation in the x direction of Al-4.7Cu at high temperature are 290 ± 4.5 MPa, 356 ± 7.0 MPa and 13% ± 0.2%, respectively.

Originality/value
Experiments show that the increase of Cu element can improve the properties at room temperature of the ZAlCu5MnCdVA alloy by WAAM, but its properties at high temperature decrease.
A local enhanced spatiotemporal tensor decomposition for missing travel time completion
Authors: Ren Yilong , Wang Jianbin 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
The missing travel time data for roads is a common problem encountered by traffic management departments. Tensor decomposition, as one of the most widely used method for completing missing traffic data, plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). However, existing methods of tensor decomposition focus on the global data structure, resulting in relatively low accuracy in fibrosis missing scenarios. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a novel tensor decomposition model which further considers the local spatiotemporal similarity for fibrosis missing to improve travel time completion accuracy.

Design/methodology/approach
The proposed model can aggregate road sections with similar physical attributes by spatial clustering, and then it calculates the temporal association of road sections by the dynamic longest common subsequence. A similarity relationship matrix in the temporal dimension is constructed and incorporated into the tensor completion model, which can enhance the local spatiotemporal relationship of the missing parts of the fibrosis type.

Findings
The experiment shows that this method is superior and robust. Compared with other baseline models, this method has the smallest error and maintains good completion results despite high missing rates.

Originality/value
This model has higher accuracy for the fibrosis missing and performs good convergence effects in the case of the high missing rate.

Authors: Jayawardena Chandi 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThe goal of this paper is to narrate about tourism in Sri Lanka in the context of the current pandemic and other challenges and identify innovative solutions to rebuild tourism.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative study was undertaken by employing mainly secondary data sources.FindingsSince the 26-year long civil war in Sri Lanka ended in 2009, tourism grew to unprecedented levels over the next ten years. Sri Lanka had formulated strategies to attract six million tourists and US$ 10 billion earnings by 2025. Tourism had been the third highest foreign exchange earner of the country representing over 5% of GDP, around 500,000 employees. The 2019 Easter Sunday terrorist attacks that killed 269 people severely affected tourism. Within a year of the attacks, the global COVID-19 pandemic further impacted tourism further. The current war in Europe added to the problems of Sri Lanka, which in 2022 plunged to its worse economic and political crisis. The protesters against the political corruption and fiscal mismanagement demanded the resignation of the President, Prime Minister and the Cabinet. In spite of these major challenges, this paper attempts to bring some optimism about the future potential of tourism in Sri Lanka.Originality/valueThis paper suggests 12 key measures and 9 suggestions for innovation to rebuild tourism in Sri Lanka from 2022 to 2030.

Polydatin protects against gouty nephropathy by inhibiting renal tubular cell pyroptosis
Authors: Shi Xingliang , Zhuang Lili , Zhai Zeqing , He Yi , Sun Erwei 
Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect and mechanism of polydatin (PD) against gouty nephropathy (GN) in mice.MethodsTwenty‐four mice were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (no treatment), the GN group (300 mg/kg hypoxanthine + 150 mg/kg potassium oxonate), and the GN + PD group (300 mg/kg hypoxanthine + 150 mg/kg potassium oxonate + 50 mg/kg PD). Histological changes in the kidneys and the levels of uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (SCr) in the sera were measured. In addition, the expression of gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein in renal tubular epithelial cells, and the expression of NOD‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), GSDMD, and caspase‐1 proteins in the kidney tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and Western blot.ResultsIn vitro, PD inhibited the expression of NLRP3, caspase‐1, and GSDMD and protected the renal tubular epithelial cells from pyroptosis. In vivo, PD treatment significantly ameliorated the pathological changes in kidney tissue, and reversed the decrease of serum UA and BUN in GN model mice. The expression of NLRP3, GSDMD, and caspase‐1 proteins was also decreased in the PD‐treated GN mice.ConclusionThe results suggest that PD has a protective effect on mice with GN, which may be related to the downregulation of NLRP3, GSDMD, and caspase‐1 proteins and the inhibition of renal tubular epithelial cells pyroptosis.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundDelirium, altered mental status (AMS), or confusion among older adults are common presentations to the emergency department (ED). We aimed to report the proportion of older ED patients presenting with delirium who have acute abnormal findings on head imaging. We also assessed whether anticoagulation, neurological deficits, trauma, or headache were associated with head imaging abnormalities in these patients.MethodsA systematic review was performed using Ovid Medline, Embase, Clinicaltrials.gov, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central from conception to April 8, 2021. Citations were included if they described patients aged 65 years or older who received neuroimaging at the time of ED assessment for delirium, confusion, or AMS. Screening, data extraction, and bias assessment were performed in duplicate. The estimated proportion of patients with abnormal neuroimaging and odds ratios (ORs) for each predictor were calculated.ResultsThe search strategy identified 3014 unique citations, of which six studies reporting on 909 patients with confusion or AMS were included. None of the studies formally diagnosed delirium. Overall, the proportions of older ED patients with AMS or confusion were found to have an abnormal head computed tomography (CT) was 15.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.3%–26.2%). The prevalence of focal neurologic findings was 13.0% (66/506) and for anticoagulation was 9.8% (33/337) among the studies who reported them. The presence of a focal neurological deficit was associated with abnormal head CT (OR 101.8, 95% CI 30.5–340.1). Anticoagulation was not associated with abnormal head CT (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.4–3.3). No studies reported on the association between headache or trauma and abnormal neuroimaging.ConclusionsThe proportion of abnormal findings on CT neuroimaging in older ED patients with AMS or confusion was 15.6%. The presence of a focal neurological deficit was a strong predictor for the presence of acute abnormality, whereas anticoagulation was not.
