COVID-19 pandemic resilience: an analysis of firm valuation and disclosure of sustainability practices of listed firms
Authors: Phang Soon-Yeow , Adrian Christofer , Garg Mukesh , Pham Anh Viet , Truong Cameron 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the effect of firms’ sustainability practices on firm performance and valuation during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of Australian listed firms from 2011 to 2021, the authors perform textual analysis on sustainability practices from annual reports and sustainability report disclosures and include this variable in various regression models that assess firm valuation. The authors also use propensity score matching and Heckman two-stage regression methodology to address endogeneity concerns.FindingsThe authors find that firms disclosing sustainability practices exhibit higher market valuations relative to other firms. Specifically, loss-making firms exhibit higher market valuation during the COVID-19 crisis relative to prior period. The authors also observe a negative association between sustainability practices and firm performance proxied by return on assets. The findings suggest that engagement in sustainable practices helps loss-making firms remain resilient during the pandemic. In addition, the authors find that the positive relation between sustainability practices and firm value is stronger among firms with a higher level of annual report readability.Originality/valueConsidering the conflicting evidence in the literature on the economic benefits of sustainability practices, this study takes advantage of the heterogeneity in corporate practices and provides empirical evidence that a firm’s sustainability practices can build economic resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The authors believe the findings of the study is timely in informing the regulators and standard-setters on changes in reporting required to increase sustainability in the business practices.
Success or failure in equity crowdfunding? A systematic literature review and research perspectives
Authors: Mazzocchini Francesco James , Lucarelli Caterina 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to provide a multidisciplinary framework that allows an integrated understanding of reasons of success or failure in equity crowdfunding (ECF), a Fintech digital innovation of the traditional entrepreneurial finance, defining a future research agenda.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review (SLR) has been conducted on 127 documents extracted from two multidisciplinary repositories (Elsevier’s Scopus and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science) for the period between 2015 and early 2022. After a systematized series of inclusion and exclusion criteria, in line with the objectives and conceptual boundaries, a final list of 32 peer-reviewed articles written in English was analyzed by the authors through a meta-synthesis and thematic analysis to identify the key themes and dominant concepts.

Findings
Results show that the body of literature is recent and fast growing. The proposed integrative framework of existing research indicates that the outcome of an ECF campaign is related to signals conveyed by entrepreneurs in the form of hard information (firm characteristics, financial information, business characteristics and project description) and soft information (intellectual capital, human capital, social capital and social media network), catalyzed by digital media that facilitate also personal interactions between entrepreneurs and investors. Similarly, external factors (investors and campaign characteristics, with the fundamental role of ECF platform managers in building trust between entrepreneurs and investors) allow for the alleviation of information asymmetries. The present study sheds light on which signal mechanisms are decisive in improving the outcome, taking into consideration various disciplines which follow different but complementary perspectives.

Practical implications
Entrepreneurs should adapt to the transition toward the digital era, exploiting alternative financial instruments and learning effective signaling strategies, within a large variety of skills requested. Platform managers can obtain more focused information on selected entrepreneurial projects more efficiently.

Originality/value
Although it is fast-growing, the field of research is very recent, still fragmented and limited to the perspective/discipline followed. This SLR is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first multidisciplinary and integrative analysis of reasons that motivates success, or failure, of an equity-based crowdfunding campaign. The digital nature of ECF encourages future research to move toward more pioneering and unconventional theories and research methods. Hence, the authors add to the existing literature by proposing future patterns of research based on an integration of highly technological skills and behavioral/psychological approaches.
A view similarity-based shape complexity metric to guide part selection for additive manufacturing
Authors: Jayapal Jayakrishnan , Kumaraguru Senthilkumaran , Varadarajan Sudhir 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a view similarity-based shape complexity metric to guide part selection for additive manufacturing (AM) and advance the goals of design for AM. The metric helps to improve the selection process by objectively screening a large number of parts and identifying the parts most suited for AM and enabling experts to prioritize parts from a smaller set based on relevant subjective/contextual factors.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology involves calculating a part’s shape complexity based on the concept of view similarity, that is, the similarity of different views of the outer shape and internal cross-sectional geometry. The combined shape complexity metric (weighted sum of the external shape and internal structure complexity) has been used to rank various three dimensional (3D) models. The metric has been tested for its sensitivity to various input parameters and thresholds are suggested for effective results. The proposed metric’s applicability for part selection has also been investigated and compared with the existing metric-based part selection.FindingsThe proposed shape complexity metric can distinguish the parts of different shapes, sizes and parts with minor design variations. The method is also efficient regarding the amount of data and computation required to facilitate the part selection. The proposed method can detect differences in the mass properties of a 3D model without evaluating the modified parameters. The proposed metric is effective in initial screening of a large number of parts in new product development and for redesign using AM.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed metric is sensitive to input parameters, such as the number of viewpoints, design orientation, image resolution and different lattice structures. To address this issue, this study suggests thresholds for each input parameter for optimum results.Originality/valueThis paper evaluates shape complexity using view similarity to rank parts for prototyping or redesigning with AM.
To be more different or just the same? Means versus ends in hybrid organizational legitimacy
Authors: Gauthier Jeffrey , Kappen Jeffrey A. , Zhang Justin Zuopeng 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to consider the legitimacy challenges faced by hybrid organizations, examining the narrative strategies hybrids use in responding to these challenges and offering a framework for managers to consider in their choice of narratives.

Design/methodology/approach
A narrative analysis of texts addressing the legitimacy of the business models used by four hybrid organizations is conducted.

Findings
The results of the analysis suggest that the nature of conflicting stakeholder demands – centered on goals or means – is an integral factor influencing hybrids’ choice of narrative strategies to emphasize distinctiveness or conformity.

Research limitations/implications
This paper adds to extant research examining the challenges hybrid organizations face and emphasizes that the choice of narrative strategies is an important factor hybrids must consider when managing legitimacy. Generalizability is a notable limitation of the case approach; the authors suggest areas for future research to address this limitation.

Practical implications
The research offers a practical framework for hybrids’ leaders, as they manage legitimacy, choosing to emphasize distinctiveness or conformity in the face of conflicts regarding goals or means.

Originality/value
By studying the legitimacy challenges faced by hybrid organizations, this study can form a more complete view of legitimation, encompassing different types of enterprises offering distinct value propositions.
Employee experience: the new employee value proposition
Authors: Panneerselvam Sivapragasam , Balaraman Kavitha 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Knowing what employees expect in the never normal environment post-COVID-19 can help organizations understand talent needs and preferences – including how and where they want to work, as well as what they need to feel productive – and then initiate action on those expectations. So, this paper aims to delineate the factors that makes an employee experience (EX) that align, empower and accelerate business impact.

Design/methodology/approach
This viewpoint paper draws on extant literature review – academic journals and mainstream business magazines – and establish a case for EX as an emerging concept in employer–employee relationship.

Findings
EX is the function of work, workplace culture, empowering technologies, flexible human resource policies/practices and importantly inclusive leadership. Positive EX determines employee engagement, which is likely to create a “positivity spiral” of culture, engagement and importantly organisational bottom-line.

Originality/value
EX is the new value proposition. This paper delineates five critical elements of EX and establish the case for continuing the research on EX as a critical line of inquiry in the human resource management (HRM) research tradition.
Fake news: a classification proposal and a future research agenda
Authors: Rahmanian Emad 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to unify fragmented definitions of fake news and also present a comprehensive classification of the concept. Additionally, it provides an agenda for future marketing research based on the findings.

Design/methodology/approach
A review of 36 articles investigating fake news from 1990 to 2020 was done. In total, 615 papers were found, and the article pool was refined manually in two steps; first, articles were skimmed and scanned for nonrelated articles; second, the pool was refined based on the scope of the research.

Findings
The review resulted in a new definition and a collective classification of fake news. Also, the feature of each type of fake news, such as facticity, intention, harm and humor, is examined as well, and a definition for each type is presented.

Originality/value
This extensive study, to the best of the author’s knowledge, for the first time, reviews major definitions and classification on fake news.
Government regulation and organizational effectiveness in the health-care supply chain
Authors: Hussain Matloub , Ahmad Syed Zamberi , Visvizi Anna 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
In the context of the debate on ensuring health-care efficiency, this study aims to identify and prioritize factors and subfactors that influence organizational effectiveness (OE) in the health-care supply chain.

Design/methodology/approach
For the purpose of this qualitative study, triangulation was applied to identify, explore and systematically analyze the OE-related practices used by diverse stakeholders along the health-care supply chain. Sixty-two OE practices were thus identified. Subsequently, these were grouped in six different nodes before the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was used to identify the weightings of specific practices (and related factors) and their impact on OE.

Findings
The findings suggest that external factors associated with government regulation, including government directives and branding, are the most critical factors that influence OE-related practices, while cost-related factors are the least important.

Originality/value
The originality of this study derives from the introduction of system theory supported by a modified supplier-input-process-output-customer (SIPOC) framework. Two important factors – government regulation and branding – have been introduced to the existing SIPOC chart as a valuable process structure for the health-care chain.
Understanding peer pressure on joint consumption decisions: the role of social capital during emerging adulthood
Authors: Li Zhen , Choi Soochan , Forrest Jeffrey Yi-Lin 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of peer pressure on joint consumption decisions among emerging adults. Building on prospect theory and characteristics of emerging adulthood, the authors propose that influence from peers (i.e. informational and normative influence) serves as a channel to understand how peer pressure shapes joint consumer behaviors at different levels of social capital.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey is distributed to the emerging adults, aged 18 to 25, in the south, west, east and middle of the USA. Construct validity and reliability are tested by using confirmatory factor analysis. Structural equation modeling is used to test the mediating and moderating effects.FindingsThe results show that social capital moderates the relationship between peer pressure and group-oriented consumer decisions, such that the relationship is positive in groups with high-level social capital but negative in groups with low-level social capital. Furthermore, such effects tend to be achieved via peer influence. And peer influence is stronger in groups with high-level social capital than those with low-level social capital.Originality/valueThe current literature has shown contradictory results: it is usually believed that emerging adults may conform to pressure and engage in group-oriented decisions; however, some research has reported the opposite result. To better understand this relationship, the authors aim at a group-level factor – perceived social capital – as a boundary condition. This research contributes to the young consumer decision-making literature by involving the interplay among peer pressure, perceived social capital and peer informational and normative influence.
Microecosystem of yak rumen on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is stable and is unaffected by soil or grass microbiota

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe rumen of livestock grazing on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) acts as a transfer station for the circulation of soil, grass, faecal mineral elements and nutrients. Whether the microorganisms from the soil and grass could circulate through livestock rumen and excreted faeces. We studied the structural composition and interactive networks of microbiomes (bacteria and fungi) in soil, grass, and grazing yaks (rumen and faeces) on the QTP by using 16S rRNA gene and internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing technology and to calculate the contribution rate of microorganisms from one habitat to another habitat using SourceTracker analysis. The meta‐co‐occurrence network revealed that soil, grass, rumen, and faeces comprise four independent habitats. The bacterial and fungal composition was significantly different in these four habitats. Soil microbiota showed the highest alpha diversity and microbial network complexity. Rumen microbiota demonstrated the highest microbial network stability and synergy, while grass endophytes showed the lowest microbial network complexity, stability, and synergy. According to the SourceTracker model, grass contributes 0.02% to the rumen microbes of yaks, while soil microorganisms do not circulate in the rumen. The soil and grass microbiota originating from faeces were 4.5% and 1.2%, respectively. The contribution of soil to grass was found to be 1.1%. Overall, the rumen microbiota of yaks is relatively stable and is only minimally influenced by the microbiota inhabiting the environment under natural grazing conditions. However, the contribution of yaks to soil and grass microbiota is relatively high when compared with the contribution of soil and grass to yaks microbiota.
Agency: The constraint of instrumentality
Authors: Wahl Rachel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractEnhancing agency—or in a more colloquial term, promoting empowerment—is typically viewed as an unquestioned good. International organisations promote the empowerment of girls and other vulnerable groups around the world. Domestically, democracies rely for their legitimacy on the idea that citizens have agency; hence, civic educators aim to strengthen student ‘voice’ and their inclination to participate. This is all for good reason, as justice does depend in part on the agency of individuals and oppressed groups. But a focus on individual or even collective agency has a dark side. For if people feel that they can change the world, then they also often feel that they should. This sense of responsibility to use one's agency at all times can encourage an instrumental relationship to others and make it difficult to learn receptively, particularly from people with whom we disagree, and especially in moments of crisis.
Mine closure, women, and crime in Matjhabeng, South Africa
Authors: Sesele Kentse , Marais Lochner 
Published: October 2022

AbstractResearch from the Global North suggests that crime increases during a mining boom but not during mining decline. Our evidence from the South African gold mining town of Matjhabeng (formerly Welkom) shows that crime increases during mining decline and affects women in particular. We use social disruption theory to explain women’s experiences of crime and also their involvement in it. We find that criminal activities harm women in particular, that crime has become entrenched within female‐headed households, and that women are conflicted in their roles as parents and become participants in crime and beneficiaries of criminal activities. It is a matter for concern that research generally ignores the sociospatial nature of mine closure and its effects on women.
A New Species ofJiangxialepis(Galeaspida) from the Lower Telychian (Silurian) of Jiangxi and its Biostratigraphic Significance
Authors: SHAN Xianren , ZHAO Wenjin , GAI Zhikun 
Published: October 2022

AbstractA new species of Shuyuidae (Eugaleaspiformes, Galeaspida),Jiangxialepis jiujiangensissp. nov., is described from the lower Telychian (Llandovery, Silurian) Qingshui Formation in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, China. The new species differs from the type speciesJ. retrospinafrom Wuhan, Hubei Province in its sharp and posteriorly positioned median dorsal spine and narrow spine‐shaped inner cornual processes. The Silurian strata in Xiushui–Wuning area has provided a standard framework for the correlation of Silurian shallow marine red beds in South China. Thus, the finding ofJ. jiujiangensisfrom the Silurian Lower Red Beds (LRBs) in Jiangxi Province bears very important biostratigraphic significance. It can directly compare toJiangxialepis retrospinafrom the Fentou Formation in Wuhan, Hubei Province in the genus level. This indicates that the age of the fish‐bearing strata in Wuhan is most likely to be the early Telychian rather than middle Telychian as previously assumed.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundKnowledge gaps exist around diagnostic and treatment approaches for patients admitted to hospital with low back pain.MethodsMedical record review of patients admitted to three Sydney teaching hospitals with a provisional emergency department diagnosis of non‐serious low back pain, from 2016 to 2020. Data on demographic variables, hospital costs, length of stay (LOS), diagnostic imaging and analgesic administration were extracted. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of longer hospital stay, advanced imaging, and concomitant use of sedating medicines.ResultsMedian inpatient LOS for non‐specific low back pain was 4 days (interquartile range [IQR] 2‐7), and for radicular low back pain was 4 days (IQR 3‐10). Older patients with non‐serious low back pain were more likely to stay longer, as were arrivals by ambulance. Plain lumbar radiography was used in 8.3% of admissions, whereas 37.6% of patients received advanced lumbar imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging). Opioids were administered in ~80% of admissions; 49% of patients with radicular low back pain were given an antiepileptic in addition to an opioid. In all, 18.4% of admissions resulted in at least one hospital‐acquired complication, such as an accidental fall (3.1%) or a medication‐related adverse effect (13.3%). Physiotherapists saw 82.6% of low back pain admissions. Costs of inpatient care were estimated at a mean of AU$ 14 000 per admission.ConclusionsWe noted relatively high rates of concomitant use of sedating pain medicines and referrals for advanced lumbar imaging and laboratory tests. Strategies to address these issues in inpatient care of low back pain are needed.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundTo evaluate the performances of multiparametric MRI‐based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the preoperative assessment of breast cancer molecular subtypes.MethodsA total of 136 patients with 136 pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancers were randomly divided into training, validation, and testing sets in this retrospective study. The CNN models were established based on contrast‐enhanced T1‐weighted imaging (T1C), Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and T2‐weighted imaging (T2W) using the training and validation sets. The performances of CNN models were evaluated on the testing set. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated to assess the performance.ResultsFor the separation of each subtype from other subtypes on the testing set, the T1C‐based models yielded AUCs from 0.762 to 0.920; the ADC‐based models yielded AUCs from 0.686 to 0.851; and the T2W‐based models achieved AUCs from 0.639 to 0.697.ConclusionT1C‐based models performed better than ADC‐based models and T2W‐based models in assessing the breast cancer molecular subtypes. The discriminating performances of our CNN models for triple negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2‐enriched subtypes were better than that of luminal A and luminal B subtypes.
