Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine how muzakki (zakat donator) and mustahik (zakat recipients) collaborated to strengthen the fundraising capability in Islamic social finance institutions (ISFIs) during the COVID-19.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a descriptive qualitative method in conjunction with interview techniques. Interviews with muzakki of various professions were conducted, as well as data from field documentation, to develop a collaborative model of muzakki and mustahik in strengthening the fundraising capacity of ISFIs.

Findings
The findings indicate that muzakki employed as civil servants, BUMN (state-owned enterprises) employees and entrepreneurs continue to pay zakat through ISFIs and support mustahik, whereas muzakki affected by the COVID-19 pandemic reduce their zakat spending. Consequently, with the collaboration of mustahik and muzakki, a framework can be developed to strengthen the strategy for raising funds for ISFIs. By empowering mustahik with businesses, ISFIs can increase the collection of zakat funds.

Research limitations/implications
The collaboration model would strengthen ISFI's ability to raise Islamic philanthropic funds and optimize their management. The basis for the regulation is contained in Law No. 23 of 2011 which allows collaboration between institutions and other stakeholders. In addition, the role of ISFIs does not end with the collection and distribution of funds, they also maintain the muzakki and mustahik's cooperation, so a significant role is required in involving muzakki and mustahik for them to collaborate and synergize, as well as improving the quality of human resource from Amil (zakat collector) to implement the strategy.

Originality/value
Few studies have been conducted in collaboration with Muzakki and Mustahik to develop models or frameworks for strengthening fundraising capabilities in ISFIs. Most of these studies are illustrative. Through collaboration between Muzakki and Mustahik, this research establishes a new model for enhancing the strategy of Islamic social finance fund raising to establish a sustainable system for ISFIs.

Authors: Kim Yonghwan , Chen Hsuan-Ting 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the knowledge gap hypothesis in the context of smartphone use for news to understand whether mobile news consumption could bridge or widen the knowledge gap between people of higher and lower socioeconomic status (SES).Design/methodology/approachThe authors examine how smartphone news consumption is associated with the knowledge gap hypothesis by analyzing a survey dataset from Hong Kong. This study focuses specifically on a moderated mediation model in which the indirect effect of mobile news consumption on political knowledge via discussion network heterogeneity is contingent on level of education.FindingsSmartphone use for news/information was positively associated with level of discussion network heterogeneity. The indirect effect of smartphone news use on political knowledge via discussion network heterogeneity was stronger for those with lower levels of education.Originality/valueThis study advances the understanding of the role of smartphone use in contributing to the functioning of deliberative democracy as this use enhances discussion network heterogeneity and general levels of political knowledge. Moreover, our study contributes to the literature on the knowledge gap by not only examining the relationship between smartphone use, discussion heterogeneity, and political knowledge but also taking into consideration individual levels of education.

The impact of risk-taking and auditor characteristics on value creation in pre-Covid 19 and post-Covid 19 pandemic
Authors: Arianpoor Arash , Mizban Roghaye 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the impact of risk-taking and auditor characteristics on value creation in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In addition, it investigates the moderator role of auditor characteristics in the impact of risk-taking on value creation, especially in pre-Covid 19 and post-Covid 19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach
The information about 199 company in 2014–2021 was examined. In the present study, in accordance with the related theoretical literature and the importance of auditor specialization, auditor tenure and auditor reputation, these factors were considered as the auditor characteristics.

Findings
The present findings based on the generalized least squares (GLS) method showed that risk-taking positively affects the value creation. The auditor characteristics (auditor specialization, auditor tenure and auditor reputation) have a significant positive effect on the value creation. Furthermore, the auditor characteristics enhance the impact of risk-taking on value creation. The results of generalized method of moments method and robust regression analysis are consistent with the GLS results. To take into account the Covid-19 conditions, the data were divided into pre-Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 years. The results showed that auditor characteristics moderate the impact of risk-taking on value creation in pre-Covid 19 and post-Covid 19.

Originality/value
The study highlights the role of auditor characteristics in the value creation, especially in the emerging market. Given that Covid-19 has seriously damaged global economic well-being and has put companies at a double risk, the present findings can be useful for managers, investors and the international community, and help company managers make risk-taking policies and select auditors with appropriate characteristics.
The mediating role of trait anxiety in the impact of digital competence perception on job insecurity: an application for hotel managers
Authors: Kemer Ebru , Kırıcı Tekeli Ezgi 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The main purpose of the study is to determine the mediating role of trait anxiety in the relationship between hotel managers’ perceptions of digital competence in the Cappadocia Region and their perceptions of job insecurity.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, which is based on quantitative research, a cross-sectional design was used. The seven-item digital competence scale, four-item job insecurity scale and 20-item trait anxiety scale were used to measure the level of digital competence, job insecurity and trait anxiety of hotel managers. The convenience sampling method was used in the research, and 337 questionnaires were completed by senior and junior managers who agreed to participate in the research. To test the mediating role of trait anxiety, Andrew F. Hayes’ views on the contemporary approach were taken as a basis.

Findings
The analysis results showed that digital competence had the opposite effect on job insecurity. Similarly, digital competence had the opposite effect on the level of trait anxiety. The level of trait anxiety affected the perception of job insecurity in a linear direction. As a result of the bootstrapping test, it was found that the indirect effect of trait anxiety on the relationship between digital competence and job insecurity was significant.

Research limitations/implications
The study was unable to collect data from hotels that were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic due to restrictions. Therefore, one of the limitations of the study was that it did not reach the entire population. Another limitation of the study was that the questionnaires were addressed to hotel managers in the Cappadocia Region.

Practical implications
Hotel managers’ digital skills are considered to contribute to the tourism industry by organizing and determining business strategies, work processes and employee skills. In addition, when hiring hotel managers, it is essential to ensure that they have certain skills such as compatibility with the digital age, openness to innovation and the ability to adapt the employees working in their team to the age, which helps to improve the competitiveness of the hotel industry with the world and ensure the continuity of this situation.

Originality/value
The research addressed the variables of digital competence, job insecurity and trait anxiety and collected data from hotel managers in the Cappadocia Region using a survey technique. There were few studies that addressed these variables, and the mediating effect of trait anxiety was revealed based on the contemporary approach.

Abstract

Mutualistic interactions between plants and animal pollinators are increasingly under threat through anthropogenic change, and it is critical to understand how temporal changes affect the structure and function of these ecologically important interactions.

Because the responses of plant–pollinator interactions to anthropogenic change may take place over decades, historical collections that store information across long time horizons contribute uniquely to our understanding.

In this article, we highlight several key questions related to long‐term changes in the structure and function of plant–pollinator interactions. We articulate how research could proceed rapidly via new techniques, greater integration of resources in museum collections along with coincident use of a single data source.

We acknowledge the challenges that come with using historical collections and discuss how to minimize them. We provide suggestions that will allow for full utilization of museum resources for addressing a variety of issues regarding plant–pollinator interactions.

This perspective paper aims to stimulate new integrative research aimed at understanding temporal patterns in plant–pollinator interactions.

High‐resolution 2.5D multifocusing imaging of a crooked seismic profile in a crystalline rock environment: Results from the Larder Lake area, Ontario, Canada

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTA high‐resolution seismic reflection transect was acquired over a hard‐rock geological setting along an existing roadway in the Larder Lake area of the Superior Craton of Canada for the Metal Earth project in 2017. This profile, as well as other Metal earth transects, primarily aims to enhance the knowledge and to better understand the subsurface geology of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt within the Canadian Shield. The complex geological settings of the study area as well as the tribulations caused by the survey geometry have made the imaging and velocity field estimation more challenging. A recently introduced 2.5D multifocusing stacking method is one potential solution for processing crooked‐line seismic data with a poor signal‐to‐noise ratio. The 2.5D multifocusing approach offers more realistic modelling of the zero‐offset wavefield by explicitly accounting for the midpoint dispersion and cross‐dip effects. The main practical problem of the 2.5D multifocusing implementation is the simultaneous determination of the optimal wavefield parameters for each image point and time location. We address this optimization problem using a multidimensional constrained differential evolution global optimization algorithm, as this improves the efficiency and accuracy of the estimation. We have also designed an efficient processing sequence for multifocusing seismic imaging. The performance of the 2.5D multifocusing procedure has been examined on a synthetic model, generated using the same real acquisition geometry. Numerical tests demonstrate that the 2.5D multifocusing technique can produce a more focused stack with the primary reflections appearing at their poststack correct locations, and the procedure can also provide reliable estimates of interface dips. Due to the importance and difficulty of imaging the data, several conventional and advanced processing strategies have been attempted on the transect, specifically: 2D phase‐shift time migration of a dip moveout corrected stack; 2D prestack Kirchhoff time migration; swath 3D poststack migration; and our 2.5D multifocusing imaging algorithm. We found that applying the 2.5D multifocusing stacking algorithm followed by a poststack time migration approach improved the resolution of the image significantly compared to all the conventional and advanced methods and identified new reflections. The 2.5D multifocusing method also focused the steeply dipping reflections more coherently, which resolved ambiguities in geological architecture by understanding the location and continuity of structures. The method also accurately extracts 3D structural information and results in an improved signal‐to‐noise ratio.
Managing risk of non‐indigenous species establishment associated with ballast water discharges from ships with bypassed or inoperable ballast water management systems

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Ballast water is recognized as a leading pathway for the introduction of aquatic non‐indigenous species which have caused substantial ecological damage globally.

Following international regulations, most international ships will install a ballast water management system (BWMS) by 2024 to limit the concentration of aquatic organisms in ballast water discharges; however, these new technologies may not operate as expected at global ports having variable water quality or may periodically malfunction.

Using simulations informed by empirical data, we investigated the risk of non‐indigenous species establishment associated with BWMS inoperability and evaluated potential mitigation strategies. Scenarios considered included bypassed or inoperable BWMS achieving no reduction in organisms, and partially functioning BWMS with discharged organism concentrations exceeding permissible limits. These scenarios were contrasted to outcomes with fully functioning BWMS and to voyages where ballast water exchange (BWE) was used to mitigate risk.

Partially functioning BWMSs were nonetheless beneficial, reducing organism concentrations in ballast and thus establishment risk. When a BWMS is bypassed or partially functioning, BWE is a useful emergency mitigation measure, reducing establishment risks more than partial BMWS. However, the greatest risk reduction was achieved when partial BWMS and BWE were combined.

Voyage‐specific characteristics such as concentration of organisms at uptake and destination port salinity can affect the optimal management strategy for voyages when the BWMS does not achieve compliant discharges.

Synthesis and applications. The risk of aquatic invasions and their associated ecological damages can be substantially reduced by using a ballast water management system (BWMS) and/or ballast water exchange (BWE). When a BWMS is inoperable, appropriate mitigation measures should be decided on a trip‐by‐trip basis considering voyage route and reason for BWMS inoperability (when known). BWE is a useful strategy for reducing invasion risk, except when uptake concentrations are very low. Combining BWE and partial BWMS always reduced risk compared with BWE alone, but did not greatly reduce risk when uptake concentrations were high.

Published: October 2022

AbstractFagus crenata, a dominant tree species in cool‐temperate deciduous broad‐leaved forest of Japan, is continuously distributed northward to the Kuromatsunai lowland of Hokkaido, beyond which its distribution is patchy and isolated. We analyzed stand dynamics over 15 years (2006–2021) in a plot (0.75 ha) including one such outlying population of F. crenata. At the stand level over 15 years, stem density decreased, but aboveground biomass increased. The dominance of F. crenata consistently increased in stem density and aboveground biomass. Change in the relationship between stem density and mean stem mass indicated a successional nature of the stand undergoing self‐thinning. Increasing F. crenata dominance and the associated compositional shift was due to the higher growth rates and lower mortality of F. crenata compared to other tree species. Judging from tree‐ring analysis, the oldest F. crenata tree in the plot established in 1821, but the density of F. crenata remained low till ca. 1895. The stand started to be affected by persistent disturbance since ca. 1895, with the waves of tree establishment and growth release both peaking at ca. 1930–1960. The F. crenata population mirrored the pattern of the stand, with more pronounced increases during these waves. We suggest that the long‐lasting episode of tree establishment and growth release over ca. 1930–1960 was caused by human disturbance, most likely selective logging for fuelwood. The results support the “northward expansion” hypothesis, implying that F. crenata potentially can become dominant beyond the current northern limit of continuous distribution and that disturbance facilitates the range expansion.

Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo improve the safety of anticoagulation initiation by increasing the proportion of patients reviewed by a pharmacist.MethodsAn electronic intervention was developed to ensure all patients prescribed anticoagulation on discharge were reviewed by an ED pharmacist. Safe anticoagulation initiation was compared for patients seen and not seen.ResultsThe intervention increased the number of patients seen by an ED pharmacist. Pre‐intervention (n = 238) 84.5% of patients were reviewed by a pharmacist. Post‐intervention (n = 253) 99.6% of patients were reviewed by a pharmacist. Of the 38 patients not reviewed by a pharmacist, 20 (52.6%) had safe anticoagulation initiation and in a sample of 40 patients reviewed by a pharmacist, all 40 (100%) had safe anticoagulation initiation (52.6% vs 100%, P < 0.001).ConclusionThe real‐time electronic intervention improved the number of patients reviewed by a pharmacist. ED pharmacist reviewed patients were more likely to have safe anticoagulation initiation.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe high false‐positive rate for pulmonary nodules (PNs) from using low‐dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can lead to overuse of invasive procedures, overtreatment, and patient anxiety. Therefore, it is very important to develop new diagnostic methods.MethodsA negative enrichment‐fluorescence in situ hybridization (NE‐FISH) approach was used to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with PNs. We evaluated whether or not the combination of CTC counts with serum tumor marker levels (CEA, CA 125, CYFRA 21‐1, SCC) could improve the diagnostic ability for distinguishing patients with malignant pulmonary nodules (MPNs) from those with benign pulmonary nodules (BPNs). Moreover, the potential clinical application of this combination for the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) with a diameter ≤2 cm was also investigated.ResultsThe combination of CTC counts and tumor marker levels had a sensitivity of 80.12% and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUCROC) of 0.853 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.800–0.897, p < 0.001) for the differential diagnosis of PNs. For early cancer stages, the sensitivity was 75.38% (AUCROC = 0.780, 95% CI: 0.713–0.838, p < 0.001). In addition, for SPNs within 2 cm the combination of CTC counts and tumor marker levels was still the most valuable diagnostic tool with a sensitivity of 78.95% and AUCROC of 0.888.ConclusionThe combination of CTC counts and serum tumor marker levels is helpful for improving the diagnosis of PNs, especially in the early stages of cancer and for SPNs within 2 cm.
Corporate reputation and hedging activities
Authors: Deng Zero , Yang J. Jimmy 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study examines whether corporate reputation affects derivative hedging. We posit that high‐reputation firms are more likely to engage in hedging due to greater reputation costs and/or their commitment to lower financial risks. We find that high‐reputation firms are more likely to engage in hedging, especially when their hedging efforts or effects are more observable to stakeholders. We also find that high‐reputation firms are less likely to disclose the notional values of hedging positions and that interest rate hedging by high‐reputation firms is detrimental to firm value. Our results shed light on the impact of reputational concerns on corporate risk management and disclosure policies.
