AbstractFishes belonging to Gobiidae are well represented in the Marchica lagoon on the Moroccan Mediterranean coast, both in terms of species richness and abundance, with the black goby,Gobius nigerLinnaeus, 1758, being the dominant species. The present study aims to examine (1) the spatial and temporal distribution ofGobius nigerand its environmental drivers in the lagoon and (2) the potential lagoon-related footprint using morphometric, genetic and parasitological proxies.Systematic monthly sampling covering the whole lagoon basin performed between October 2015 and September 2016 revealed year-long presence ofG. nigerthroughout the lagoon with significantly low densities in winter. The higher abundances were recorded in the shallow bottoms of the lagoon inner margins on a variety of substrates (mud, muddy-sand, sandy-mud and fine sand) mostly covered by macroalgae and/or seagrass meadows. Depth, that has to be seen as a variable that acts in concert with other factors such as temperature, vegetation cover and sediment as the Mean Grain Size, seems to be the most important predictor, explaining the distribution ofG. nigerin the lagoon, with a trend of increasing abundance towards shallower stations.Comparison of black goby populations from the Marchica lagoon with their counterparts from the adjacent Mediterranean coast of Morocco revealed that specimens caught at sea are of a bigger size compared to the lagoon population. Of the 180 gobies investigated, not a single one hosted the parasites we targeted in the parasitological approach, monogenean flatworms. The absence of population structuring, low genetic diversity and presence of common haplotypes indicate no apparent restriction in the gene flow between the two populations. Therefore, the observed morphometric differences seem to be due to the external environmental conditions rather than genetic differences.Gobius nigerplays a key eco-trophic role by providing a link between benthic invertebrates and large predators. The shallow beds of the lagoon, where the species is abundant, are key habitats in the Marchica lagoon and need to be considered in all management plans aiming at the conservation of biodiversity and ecological processes.
An innovation-based actuator/surface fault detection, isolation and filter tuning
Authors: Hajiyev Chingiz 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to present an innovation-based new actuator/surface fault detection and isolation (FDI) method, which is sensitive to the changes in the innovation mean of the Kalman filter (KF) and the KF tuning method for the case of actuator/surface failure.

Design/methodology/approach
The multiple system noise scale factors (MSNSFs) are used in this method as the monitoring statistics. MSNSFs are determined to make it possible to perform the actuator/surface FDI operations simultaneously.

Findings
The introduced FDI algorithm can detect and isolate the loss of effectiveness type actuator/surface faults in real time. The proposed KF tuning method works effectively against actuator/surface fault. The actuator/surface fault detection, isolation and filter tuning are achieved by just using a simple modification over the conventional KF.

Originality/value
The MSNSF-based actuator/surface fault detection, isolation and filter tuning algorithms are investigated together for the first time. The actuator/surface FDI operations are performed simultaneously.

Explaining the performance of South African firms
Authors: Grosse Robert , Wocke Albert , Mthombeni Morris 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe discussion of competitive strategy in recent years has turned to exploring the differences between emerging market (EM) companies and traditional companies from the US, Europe and Japan. In particular the question has been: do we need a new theory of EM companies, or can existing theory be applied, perhaps with adaptations? The authors intent in this paper is to show what features enable EM firms to succeed in domestic competition, where institutional settings are different from those in Triad countries. The authors do not explore the issue of EM companies competing internationally.Design/methodology/approach The authors argue that competitive advantages (Porter) or resources (Barney; Wernerfelt) offer a solid base on which to build an understanding of successful domestic strategies of firms in EMs, also recognizing that the specific advantages differ somewhat in EMs, due to institutional differences (Peng). The authors explore characteristics of the 250 largest publicly-traded South African firms which enable them to compete successfully (incl: company size, brand value, company age, international sales and family ownership). The authors conclude that existing theories do indeed serve in this context, but that they need to be adjusted for the different institutional environments in EMs.FindingsFactors that contribute to performance include: company size(+),brand value(+), company age (+), international sales(+) and family ownership(−). The literature that has developed on EM companies competing internationally fails to recognize that most of the features identified exist for all companies in a given country – so they do not explain domestic performance. Of course, even in the domestic context some companies will be better able to take advantage of institutional capabilities such as dealing with the government and with volatile economic conditions than other companies.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results come from only one EM, so there may be limits on generalizing to others. If China is excepted, the results here are broadly applicable to medium-sized and larger EMs today, with idiosyncrasies remaining for individual countries (such as natural resources, location, etc.)Practical implicationsEM companies to succeed in their domestic markets should look to build size/scale, to develop their brands and to expand internationally. They should also expand ownership to non-family investors. These factors were significantly correlated with superior performance of listed companies in South Africa and have been shown to apply elsewhere as well.Originality/valueAlso, most analyses of EM companies focus on their distinctive institutional capabilities for competing with firms from Triad countries. The study analysis focuses on domestic competition rather than on going abroad.
Compatibility of the CSR practices of Islamic banks with the United Nations SDGs amidst COVID-19: a documentary evidence
Authors: Umar Umar Habibu , Besar Mohd Hairul Azrin , Abduh Muhamad 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to establish whether the corporate social responsibilities (CSR) practices of Islamic banks are compatible with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

Design/methodology/approach
A documentary research method was applied by examining the annual reports of selected Islamic banks from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, the UAE and Malaysia for 2020, which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Findings
The results indicate that Islamic banks discharged various CSR activities and contributed huge funds toward achieving the SDGs of the United Nations. Specifically, the banks prioritized the following CSR sectors: education, health, environmental protection and disaster relief and management. Besides, they provided support to micro and small businesses toward poverty alleviation.

Research limitations/implications
This study examined only CSR reports of the selected Islamic banks for 2020.

Practical implications
The findings have practical implications that may enable Islamic banks across the globe to improve their CSR initiatives, activities and reporting toward realizing the SDGs. They are also helpful to policymakers and regulators for the provisions of policies and regulations to motivate or mandate Islamic banks to effectively improve their CSR practices.

Social implications
CSR practices of Islamic banks can significantly support the SDGs toward mitigating many economic and social problems.

Originality/value
This study applied a relevant but rarely used method to explore the role of CSR practices of Islamic banks in achieving the SDGs.
Gender, social networks and job access: evidence from the Algerian labor market
Authors: Lassassi Moundir , Sami Lylia 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to study the behavior of individuals in their job search. The authors analyze the impact of the size and quality of the network on the probability of finding a job through relationships and the quality of the job found through networks for men and women separately.Design/methodology/approachFor this, the authors estimate a series of logit models using the Algerian employment survey (2003 and 2007). Then, they use these models to undertake predictions of the probability of finding jobs through social networks according to the size of the social networks.FindingsThe findings of this research, confirm that men and women use different methods in the job search; women use fewer connection networks in the search compared to men. There appears to exist some discrimination against women in the use of family networks; men use and find more jobs using family relationships. Overall, the jobs found through relationships are more precarious and less stable. Social networks appear to be an effective method of finding a job in Algeria but not for skilled jobs.Originality/valueThere are few empirical works that analyze at the same time the role of relationship networks in integration into the labor market and the quality of employment, in particular in the case of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. Understanding the intermediation mechanisms can help to develop better employment policy strategies.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-08-2021-0485
Who are voice users? The contributions of decision-making conflict theory
Authors: Berriche Amira , Benavent Christophe , Constantinides Efthymios 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to categorize users of voice assistants and analyze decision-making conflicts to predict intention to adopt voice commerce (v-commerce).Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory study used expert survey-based data collection founded on data saturation.FindingsThis study identifies three forms of voice systems based on senses aroused (screen first, voice only and voice first) and four profiles of voice users (passive resistant, hedonistic adopter, utilitarian adopter and active resistant), each with a different appraisal of the benefits and costs of v-commerce adoption and the experiences (positive or negative) felt during the shopping experience. This study proposes a conceptual model to predict intention to adopt v-commerce depending on voice-system and -user characteristics.Practical implicationsLearning from this study can help improve the marketing strategies and actions put in place by voice-assistant brands and advertisers by providing insights for adapting product recommendation algorithms to meet the needs of the identified profiles.Originality/valueThis paper provides an answer to the limits of classical approaches based on “one-size-fits-all” strategy by showing how voice-assistant users have different profiles that span a gradient of advance in technology adoption.
Why consumers support local: moral foundations theory and identity perspective
Authors: Im Hyunjoo , Lee Garim , Parr Jacqueline 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Consumers support local businesses as an ethical choice. However, consumer ethics researchers have not paid much attention to local consumption, limiting the understanding of why consumers believe local consumption is ethical. To address this research gap, this study aims to develop and test the theoretical model for local consumption decisions by integrating moral foundations theory and local–global identity literature.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey of US adult consumers (n = 362) was conducted to test the theoretical model. A correlational structural equation model was used to analyze the data.

Findings
The results confirmed that consumers’ moral obligations to engage in local consumption are driven partially by pro-group moral foundations, and that this identity-based motivation is an intuitive predictor of local consumption behaviors. The findings of this study demonstrate that traditional ethical consumption frameworks that assume knowledge-based decision-making are not enough to explain local consumption, and provide arguments for the need to consider both moral intuitions and moral reasoning.

Originality/value
This study synthesizes two isolated streams of literature and presents an integrated model to holistically explain consumer motivations for local business support. Local consumption was rarely investigated and its unique characteristics were not fully understood in the context of ethical consumption. This study specifically focuses on local consumption, advancing our knowledge of this understudied consumer behavior.
A “new tourism cycle” on the Canary Islands: scenarios for digital transformation and resilience of small and medium tourism enterprises
Authors: Hernández Sánchez Nidia , Oskam Jeroen 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper discusses plausible future scenarios for small and medium tourism enterprises (SMTEs) in the “sun, sea and sand” destination of the Canary Islands (Spain) and assesses to what extent they are prepared to adjust to market changes and technological developments in the light of both sudden disruptions and long-term shocks.Design/methodology/approachA scenario analysis was made based upon expert interviews, leading to a 2 × 2 scenario matrix.FindingsAlthough regional, national and European strategies advocate digital transformation as a step towards building resilience and towards a more sustainable future, this study identifies two major uncertainties that can put that transformation at risk: a change of the traditional “sun, sand and sea” visitor to a more conscious, individual and inquisitive traveller or “Promad”, and the business culture of SMTEs.Research limitations/implicationsResilience for sudden and for slow-paced disruptions poses different challenges for SMTEs. Their next step in the digital transformation must take them form marketing and sales-oriented e-business to growing interconnectivity and innovation across supply chains.Practical implicationsA market change towards the “Promad” type of traveller causes at least a temporary mismatch of demand and supply. As many SMTEs miss either the knowledge or the resources to invest in digital transformation, the process will depend on support and coordination at destination level.Originality/valueThe study identifies, with the example of the Canary Islands, the difficulties for destinations and individual businesses in making the envisioned transition of mass tourism to more competitive forms of tourism with a smaller ecological footprint.
International linkages of emerging market index futures, under the closure of underlying spot market – evidence from Indian Nifty futures
Authors: Sundararajan Sivakumar , Balasubramanian Senthil Arasu 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study examines the dynamic linkages between the Indian Nifty index futures traded on the offshore Singapore Exchange (SGX) and US stock indices (DJIA, NASDAQ and S&P 500) under the closure of the spot market for Nifty futures.Design/methodology/approachWith high-frequency 5-min overlapping price data, the authors employ the Johansen cointegration test to investigate long-run relationships, the Granger causality test to assess short-run dynamics and the BEKK-GARCH model for volatility spillover investigation.FindingsThe empirical findings reveal that the SGX Nifty futures market is cointegrated with the US DJIA market. The US DJIA stock index strongly influences the price discovery of SGX Nifty futures and past innovations in the US markets strongly impact the current volatility of SGX Nifty futures.Practical implicationsFindings from this study have significant implications for market participants, particularly foreign investors and portfolio managers. These findings might be helpful for market participants to improve the prediction power of expected SGX Nifty futures price and volatility, especially under the closure of the spot market. Also, SGX market participants can take the significant role of the US market into account when formulating hedging and trading strategies with Indian Nifty futures. Besides, our findings have significant implications for policymakers in evaluating market stability.Originality/valueThis article adds to the very limited research on offshore or international stock index futures; it is the first study that empirically examines the international linkages of offshore SGX Nifty futures under the closure of its underlying spot market and also the driving force behind the linkages.
The reflection of Newman's defensible space theory on Turkey's neighbourhoods: typomorphological analysis of safe-space within an analytical framework
Authors: Kalfaoglu Hatipoglu Hatice , Okkali Alsavada Merve 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe research intends to investigate the different typological and morphological characteristics of the neighbourhood spaces produced by different urban dynamics since the late nineteenth century in Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThe main problem that drives the research is that a significant increase in the construction of gated communities has started to be seen in the last five years as a solution to safety issues in Turkey. However, these gated communities as safe-spaces have resulted in the danger of destroying neighbourhood life's physical and social dynamics by changing their spatial configuration. The study offers an analytical framework structured from defensible space theory and other safe-space theories in the literature. It has analysed the effect of physical characteristics of urban fabric on the production of safe-space in neighbourhoods through mappings and site observations. The case studies are conducted in three different morphological periods in Turkey, which are the Seyrancik neighbourhood in Bolu (the Ottoman Period), the Subayevleri neighbourhood in Ankara (the Republican Period) and the Karaman neighbourhood in Sakarya (the Liberalisation Period).FindingsThe analysis concludes that any type does not come to the fore in the production of defensible space in terms of its spatial features, but each has various strengths and weaknesses. As a result, this study emphasises the role of design in providing defensible neighbourhoods in the case of Turkey's cities and reveals the aspects that will guide the design of an urban and housing form in terms of the safety–environment relationship in Turkey.Originality/valueThe significance of the study is the comparative analytical approach to studying the housing development and demonstrates a method for analysing safety issues in the transformation process of neighbourhood structures in Turkey.
New plant engineering techniques, R&D investment and international trade
Authors: Marette Stéphan , Disdier Anne‐Célia , Bodnar Anastasia , Beghin John 
Published: October 2022

AbstractNew plant engineering techniques (NPETs) may significantly improve both production and quality of foods. Some consumers and regulators around the world might be reluctant to accept such products and the global market penetration of these products may remain low. We develop a parsimonious economic model for R&D investment in food innovations to identify conditions under which NPET technology emerges in the context of international trade. The framework integrates consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for the new food, the uncertainty of R&D processes, the associated regulatory cost of approval, and the competition between domestic and foreign products. With generic applicability, the model enables the quantitative analysis of new foods that could be introduced in markets and then traded across borders. We apply the framework to a hypothetical case of apples improved with NPETs. Simulation results suggest that import bans and high values of sunk cost can reduce R&D investment in NPETs to suboptimal levels.
Curcumin‐loaded complex coacervate made of mung bean protein isolate and succinylated chitosan as a novel medium for curcumin encapsulation

Published: October 2022

AbstractA novel complex coacervate based on mung bean protein (MBP) and succinylated chitosan (SC) was developed in order to encapsulate curcumin to enhance its antioxidant and release properties. The optimum pH and MBP/SC ratio for fabrication of the complex coacervate were determined as 5.5 and 3:1, respectively. The MBP/SC complexes exhibited high affinity toward curcumin with encapsulation efficiency of 89.65%. The curcumin‐loaded MBP with succinyl chitosan (c‐MBP/SC) exhibited antioxidant properties investigated by DPPH and reducing power assays. c‐MBP/SC also showed significant photo stability and acceptable controlled release behavior in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Fluorescence results indicated that curcumin interacted with the hydrophobic areas available in c‐MBP/SC. FTIR results showed the successful encapsulation of curcumin in the hydrophobic core of the complex, followed by minor changes in MBP conformation. Analysis of zeta potential revealed that MBP/SC particles were synthesized successfully at the pH value of 5.5 due to conformational changes of MBP. The conformational changes in protein structure were confirmed by Nile Red fluorescence anisotropy. As a result, c‐MBP/SC could be considered as a promising carrier for curcumin encapsulation in food formulations with enhanced dispersity characteristic.
