Risk reporting: do country-level institutional forces really matter?
Authors: Serrasqueiro Rogério , Oliveira Jonas 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe study aims to analyse annual reports of the non-financial European firms listed at the EURO STOXX 50 index over the period of 2007 and 2011.Design/methodology/approachThis study intends to address two main issues: to what extent the country-level institutional forces compel (directly) firm's risk reporting (RR) behaviour and in which way these country-level institutional forces moderate the relationship between RR and firm-level characteristics.FindingsMain findings indicate that, during this period, the European listed companies disclosed more risk information on a voluntary basis (such as operational and strategic risks) and with better informative content (more forward-looking and focused on positive news). Consistent with institutional theory, findings confirm that the country-level institutional forces explain variations on RR. Additionally, it also indicates that the relationship between RR and leveraged firms is weaker among countries with stronger institutional forces. These findings have several implications for investors and regulators in Europe basically in helping achieve efficiency in investment decisions and to stimulate further efforts to improve RR regulations.Originality/valueThis study makes two major contributions. First, it extends Elshandidy'set al.(2015) work by using other country-level institutional forces that capture the efficacy of corporate boards, the protection of minority shareholders' interests, country's level of democracy, law enforcement mechanisms and press freedom. Second, it uses firms that are considered as a blue-chip representation of super-sector leaders in the Eurozone (but from different institutional contexts). This research setting can be more insightful in shedding some light towards our understanding on how these leading firms can promote innovative and high quality level of RR and how country-level driving forces influence these variables.
Role of National Digital Library of India (NDLI) for facilitating open access resources (OARs): an investigation on COVID-19 research repository
Authors: Singh Sonam 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to proffer a glimpse of diverse e-resources and materials accumulated by National Digital Library of India (NDLI) for facilitating open access resources (OARs) during the difficult times of global pandemic. Out of all the resources, an attempt has been made to place a focus on COVID-19 research repository maintained at NDLI platform to facilitate related research activities for envisaging experiments by scientists and researchers.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on COVID-19 research repository assimilated by NDLI, and a detailed investigative research has been made about various resources and materials available for research community. The official website of NDLI (direct link of NDLI website: https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/) has been referred for collection of requisite data for study. The collected information has been presented through eight tables, two charts and two figures, which have further been analyzed and interpreted to attain the objectives.

Findings
The brief examples in this paper indicates that a wealth of OARs related to COVID-19 such as scholarly communications, data sets, documents and videos and journals and conferences, etc. are available for access and research by scientists and researchers to expand their research during and also beyond this global crisis. Social distancing has forced academics to displace to online platform from physical deliverables. Institutions are forced to adopt new technologies for delivering education in online mode such as online teaching, online access of educational resources, online conferences, webinars and a host of such related activities. NDLI has been instrumental in this journey by accumulating providing research materials through its platform.

Originality/value
In addition to the blended learning process, this paper provides a structured overview about COVID-19 research repository facilitated by NDLI to provide access about related research activities by scientists and researchers. This investigative research on NDLI platform has been done originally by the author with a sacrosanct aim to help serious academia and has a high referral value for the scientific, technocratic and realistic researchers with deep thrust on availability of all materials under one roof, i.e. NDLI.
Consumers' intention toward buying ethically produced products in Bangladesh
Authors: Ho Yi-Hui , Alam Syed Shah , Ahsan Mst. Nilufar , Lin Chieh-Yu 
Published: March 2022

PurposeWhile many companies begin to promote ethically produced products, much remains to be known about consumers' buying intention toward these products. This paper attempts to integrate the theory of planned behavior and the Hunt–Vitell theory of marketing ethics to explore the buying intention toward ethically produced food products in a developing economy.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a questionnaire survey in Bangladesh. Structural equation modeling technique was used to test the research model.FindingsResearch findings showed that deontological evaluation and teleological evaluation have significantly positive effects on perceived behavioral control and subjective norm. Perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, attitude, hedonic and utilitarian value have significantly positive effects on buying intention toward ethically produced foods.Originality/valueThe results are practically and theoretically meaningful because the integrated model holds well explanatory power to predict consumers' intention toward buying ethical foods and thereby understand consumers' ethical decision-makings.
The benefits of nature-based therapy for the individual and the environment: an integrative review
Authors: Bonham-Corcoran Meabh , Armstrong Alexandra , O’Briain Amy , Cassidy Amy , Turner Niall 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This review aims to identify the commonly used nature-based therapies, the cohorts that benefit from these interventions, and the potential environmental impact of nature-based therapies.

Design/methodology/approach
An integrative review methodology was taken. The literature was analysed and synthesised through thematic analysis.

Findings
Three themes emerged from the analysis: categories of nature-based therapies; benefits of nature-based therapies; and the gains from nature-based therapies are not universal. Evidence of physiological, psychological, social, vocational and quality of life benefits from participation in nature-based therapies was evident in the literature. However, there was insufficient empirical evidence of the benefits for the environment.

Practical implications
Occupational therapists assist populations across the life course. Consequentially, they can be found working in a diverse range of clinical contexts. This review asserts that nature-based therapies could be a positive addition in many of these contexts. Further, while engagement in activities in natural environments is frequently used by occupational therapists practicing within institution environments, there is evidence to support its use in community service models and potentially in public health strategies.

Originality/value
This integrative review brings together evidence on a diverse range of nature-based therapies, cohorts, associated benefits and factors that influence these. The lack of empirical evidence on the benefits of nature-based therapies for the environment is acknowledged as a gap in the literature
Influence of quality management and allied certifications on consumers
Authors: Yadav Neeraj , Heriyati Pantri , Kumar Harsh , Tamara Dewi 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
The perception of consumers towards the products or services that are provided by organisations that are certified to various international quality management and allied standards, such as the standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization, has not been extensively researched. Available research is limited to few standards. It is not comprehensively explored if consumers view certified products, services or organisations favourably in each case. This study aims to explore inclination of three consumer categories i.e. retail consumers, business consumers and subject expert consumers towards 11 international management system standards.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey is carried out among 229 consumers of different types in different countries. Total 11 quality management and allied standards are studied. Similarities and differences among different consumer groups towards these 11 standards are analysed using Chi-square test.

Findings
The study shows that although all consumer categories perceive products, services, and organisations certified to international management system standards favourably, the inclination towards certification is greater among developing economies than in developed economies. It is also proven that all standards are not equally popular among consumers. The brand name of a certification agency is found not influencing consumer’s preference towards certification.

Originality/value
The study is unique in three ways. First, it comprehensively analyses multiple quality management and allied standards from consumers’ point of view. Similarities and differences among retail consumers, business consumers and subject experts are researched, which was not attempted previously and thus it shows a novel approach. Second, no other study has analysed so many standards together. Third, differences in perception of consumers towards international standards between developing and developed nations are compared, which was not available earlier for all the 11 standards.
Shopping app features: influencing the download and use intention
Authors: Sinemus Kathrin , Zielke Stephan 
Published: March 2022

PurposeShopping apps are a highly relevant channel and an increasingly important part of omni-channel retailing, as they strengthen the customer relationship. This study analyses the possibilities available to retailers to encourage consumers to download a shopping app and use it in the long-term.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a scenario-based online experiment with a 2 × 2 × 2 between-subjects design and data from 332 participants. A second online experiment with a 2 × 3 between-subjects design and data from 200 participants supplements the main experiment. The data obtained from these experiments were analysed using M/ANCOVA and PROCESS.FindingsFindings suggest that a rebate (monetary incentive) increases the download intention. Online and in-store app features (non-monetary incentives) do also have positive impacts on the use intention, though the in-store feature only works when it is offered in combination with the online feature. The relationships are mediated by the perceived usefulness of the shopping app. Moreover, the non-monetary features interact with the channel preference of the consumers, who react more positively towards features offered in a non-preferred channel. A supplementary study supports this finding.Originality/valueThis research is novel as it analyses the impact of monetary (rebate) and non-monetary (online and in-store features) incentives on both the download and use intention of a shopping app separately. Further, it contributes to research on the topic by examining which features consumers perceive as useful. Finally, the study considers the omni-channel environment regarding consumers’ channel preference.
How do actors coordinate for value creation? A signaling and screening perspective on resource integration
Authors: Dehling Sebastian , Edvardsson Bo , Tronvoll Bård 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
Although service research typically asserts that institutions coordinate actors’ value creation processes, institutions and resources are not necessarily transparent, aligned, or pre-existing. This paper aims to develop a more granular perspective on how actors coordinate for value.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the established concepts of signaling and screening theory, this paper adopts a service marketing perspective to explore how independent heterogeneous actors coordinate for value creation at the individual level. Illustrative cases of corporate startup collaborations are presented in support of the proposed conceptual framework.

Findings
Actors share and acquire information through signaling and screening activities in a coordinative dialogue with other actors. These resource integration activities (for resource creation and matching) affect actors’ valuations and future actions.

Originality/value
The one-sided explanations of coordination in the existing literature reflect the dominance of the institutional theory. By contrast, the proposed agency-oriented perspective based on the integration of signaling and screening functions offers a more granular conceptualization of the resource integration process. As well as capturing how actors use coordinating dialogue to match resources and institutions, this account also shows that matching is a core element of resource integration rather than an antecedent. The findings indicate paths for future research that focus on the actor.

Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the properties of mortar made from a bottom ash substitute as a sustainable construction material. It is believed that the use of cement in concrete construction contributes to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which has been a consistent increase in recent years. The utilization of bottom ash waste is expected to reduce pollution associated with cement production.

Design/methodology/approach
Bottom ash is used as replacement materials for cement and fine aggregate in the manufacture of mortar. Bottom ash substituted for cement of 10%, 20% and 30% of the total weight of the binder, whereas bottom ash substituted for the fine aggregate of 30%, 40% and 50% of the total weight of the sand. Binder properties were determined using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. Meanwhile, the fresh properties (slump flow) and hardened properties were determined (compressive strength and mass density). In the hardened properties test, two types of curing were used: water and sealed curing.

Findings
The compressive strength of mortar decreased as the amount of bottom ash as cement replacement. However, the compressive strength increased when bottom ash was used as aggregate replacement. Additionally, bottom ash was sufficient as a substitute for fine aggregate than as a substitute for cement.

Originality/value
This research presents test results that are more straightforward to apply in the construction site.

AbstractAberrant increases in neuronal network excitability may contribute to cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanisms underlying hyperexcitability of neurons are not fully understood. Voltage‐gated sodium channels (VGSC or Nav), which are involved in the formation of excitable cell's action potential and can directly influence the excitability of neural networks, have been implicated in AD‐related abnormal neuronal hyperactivity and higher incidence of spontaneous non‐convulsive seizures. Here, we have shown that the reduction of VGSC α‐subunit Nav1.6 (by injecting adeno‐associated virus (AAV) with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into the hippocampus) rescues cognitive impairments and attenuates synaptic deficits in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Concurrently, amyloid plaques in the hippocampus and levels of soluble Aβ are significantly reduced. Interfering with Nav1.6 reduces the transcription level of β‐site APP‐cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), which is Aβ‐dependent. In the presence of Aβ oligomers, knockdown of Nav1.6 reduces intracellular calcium overload by suppressing reverse sodium–calcium exchange channel, consequently increasing inactive NFAT1 (the nuclear factor of activated T cells) levels and thus reducing BACE1 transcription. This mechanism leads to a reduction in the levels of Aβ in APP/PS1 transgenic mice, alleviates synaptic loss, improves learning and memory disorders in APP/PS1 mice after downregulating Nav1.6 in the hippocampus. Our study offers a new potential therapeutic strategy to counteract hippocampal hyperexcitability and subsequently rescue cognitive deficits in AD by selective blockade of Nav1.6 overexpression and/or hyperactivity.

AbstractIntroductionTo calculate the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) for 2006–2018 in the Netherlands and compare this with 1993–2005, and to describe women’s characteristics, causes of death and improvable factors.Material and MethodsWe performed a nationwide, cohort study of all maternal deaths between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2018 reported to the Audit Committee Maternal Mortality and Morbidity. Main outcome measures were the national MMR and causes of death.ResultsOverall MMR was 6.2 per 100 000 live births, a decrease from 12.1 in 1993–2005 (risk ratio [RR] 0.5). Women with a non‐western ethnic background had an increased MMR compared with Dutch women (MMR 6.5 vs. 5.0, RR 1.3). The MMR was increased among women with a background from Surinam/Dutch Antilles (MMR 14.7, RR 2.9). Half of all women had an uncomplicated medical history (79/161, 49.1%). Of 171 pregnancy‐related deaths within 1 year postpartum, 102 (60%) had a direct and 69 (40%) an indirect cause of death. Leading causes within 42 days postpartum were cardiac disease (n = 21, 14.9%), hypertensive disorders (n = 20, 14.2%) and thrombosis (n = 19, 13.5%). Up to 1 year postpartum, the most common cause of death was cardiac disease (n = 32, 18.7%). Improvable care factors were identified in 76 (47.5%) of all deaths.ConclusionsMaternal mortality halved in 2006–2018 compared with 1993–2005. Cardiac disease became the main cause. In almost half of all deaths, improvable factors were identified and women with a background from Surinam/Dutch Antilles had a threefold increased risk of death compared with Dutch women without a background of migration.

Published: March 2022

AbstractPurposeTo compare the treatment success of air with fluorinated gas (20% SF6 or 14% C3F8) tamponade in pars plana vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.MethodsA retrospective cohort study comprised of 1023 consecutive primary retinal detachment cases between 2014 and 2020. We employed a univariate multivariable binary logistic regression model.ResultsWe used intraocular gas tamponades in 872 cases with PVR grade B or lower: air tamponade was used in 414 eyes and 458 eyes were treated with a type of fluorinated gas tamponade. There was no significant difference in the type of tamponade with regard to the re‐detachment rate (95% CI −1.0% and 4.1%). Additionally, also in the subgroup of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with inferior located retinal defects we found no significant difference between the two types of tamponade (p = 0.54 Fisher's exact). The multivariable model, which included tamponade, PVR grade, a retinal detachment involving the 6 o'clock position and age as covariates, also showed no significant effect of tamponade choice on treatment success (OR 0.5, 95% 0.2–1.0, p = 0.10).ConclusionWe found no difference in treatment success with air tamponade versus fluorinated gas tamponades in the repair of primary retinal detachments, this also includes inferiorly located retinal tears and detachments.
Residency time of agonists does not affect the stability of GPCR–arrestin complexes

Published: March 2022

Background and PurposeThe interaction of arrestins with G‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) desensitizes agonist‐dependent receptor responses and often leads to receptor internalization. GPCRs that internalize without arrestin have been classified as “class A” GPCRs whereas “class B” GPCRs co‐internalize with arrestin into endosomes. The interaction of arrestins with GPCRs requires both agonist activation and receptor phosphorylation. Here, we ask the question whether agonists with very slow off‐rates can cause the formation of particularly stable receptor–arrestin complexes.Experimental ApproachThe stability of GPCR–arrestin‐3 complexes at two class A GPCRs, the β2‐adrenoceptor and the μ opioid receptor, was assessed using two different techniques, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) employing several ligands with very different off‐rates. Arrestin trafficking was determined by confocal microscopy.Key ResultsUpon agonist washout, GPCR–arrestin‐3 complexes showed markedly different dissociation rates in single‐cell FRET experiments. In FRAP experiments, however, all full agonists led to the formation of receptor–arrestin complexes of identical stability whereas the complex between the μ receptor and arrestin‐3 induced by the partial agonist morphine was less stable. Agonists with very slow off‐rates could not mediate the co‐internalization of arrestin‐3 with class A GPCRs into endosomes.Conclusions and ImplicationsAgonist off‐rates do not affect the stability of GPCR–arrestin complexes but phosphorylation patterns do.Our results imply that orthosteric agonists are not able to pharmacologically convert class A into class B GPCRs.
