Development of human lateral prefrontal sulcal morphology and its relation to reasoning performance
Authors: Willbrand Ethan H. , Ferrer Emilio , Bunge Silvia A. , Weiner Kevin S. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPrevious findings show that the morphology of folds (sulci) of the human cerebral cortex flatten during postnatal development. However, previous studies did not consider the relationship between sulcal morphology and cognitive development in individual participants. Here, we fill this gap in knowledge by leveraging cross-sectional morphological neuroimaging data in the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) from individual human participants (6-36 years old, males and females; N = 108; 3672 sulci), as well as longitudinal morphological and behavioral data from a subset of child and adolescent participants scanned at two timepoints (6-18 years old; N = 44; 2992 sulci). Manually defining thousands of sulci revealed that LPFC sulcal morphology (depth, surface area, gray matter thickness, and local gyrification index) differed between children (6-11 years old)/adolescents (11-18 years old) and young adults (22-36 years old) cross-sectionally, but only cortical thickness showed both cross-sectional differences between children and adolescents and presented longitudinal changes during childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, a data-driven approach relating morphology and cognition identified that longitudinal changes in cortical thickness of four rostral LPFC sulci predicted longitudinal changes in reasoning performance, a higher-level cognitive ability that relies on LPFC. Contrary to previous findings, these results suggest that sulci may flatten either after this time frame or over a longer longitudinal period of time than previously presented. Crucially, these results also suggest that longitudinal changes in the cortex within specific LPFC sulci are behaviorally meaningful—providing targeted structures, and areas of the cortex, for future neuroimaging studies examining the development of cognitive abilities.Significance StatementRecent work has shown that individual differences in neuroanatomical structures (indentations, or sulci) within the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) are behaviorally meaningful during childhood and adolescence. Here, we describe how specific LPFC sulci develop at the level of individual participants for the first time—from both cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives. Further, we show, also for the first time, that the longitudinal morphological changes in these structures are behaviorally relevant. These findings lay the foundation for a future avenue to precisely study the development of the cortex and highlight the importance of studying the development of sulci in other cortical expanses and charting how these changes relate to the cognitive abilities those areas support at the level of individual participants.

AbstractIn response to the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the quest for coronavirus inhibitors has inspired research on a variety of small proteins beyond conventional antibodies, including robust single-domain antibody fragments, ‘nanobodies’. Here, we explore the potential of nanobody engineering in the development of antivirals and diagnostic tools. Through fusion of nanobody domains that target distinct binding sites, we engineered multimodular nanobody constructs that neutralize wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and the Alpha and Delta variants with high potency, with IC50 values up to 50 pM. However, we observed a limitation in the efficacy of multimodular nanobodies against the Beta (B.1.351) and Omicron variants (B.1.1.529), underlining the importance of accounting for viral evolution in the design of biologics. To further explore the applications of nanobody engineering in outbreak management, we present a novel detection assay, based on fusions of nanobodies with fragments of NanoLuc luciferase that can detect sub-nanomolar quantities of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a single step. Our work showcases the potential of nanobody engineering to combat emerging infectious disease.
Evaluation of failure risks for manual tightening operations in automotive assembly lines
Authors: Altinisik Armagan , Yildirim Utku , Topcu Y. Ilker 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The tightening operations are one of the most critical operations in automotive assembly lines because of its direct impact on customer safety. This study aims to evaluate the major complexity drivers for manual tightening operations, correlate with real tightening failure data and propose mitigations to improve the complexity.

Design/methodology/approach
In the first stage, the complexity drivers for manual tightening operations were identified. Then, the relative importance of the risk attributes was defined by using pairwise comparisons questionnaire. Further, failure mode effect analysis–analytic hierarchy process (FMEA–AHP) and AHP ratings methods were applied to 20 manual tightening operations in automotive assembly lines. Finally, the similarities between the revealed results and the real failure rates of a Turkish automotive factory were examined and a sensitivity analysis was conducted.

Findings
The correlation between the proposed methods and manual tightening failure data was calculated as 83%–86%. On the other hand, the correlation between FMEA–AHP and AHP ratings was found as 92%. Poor ergonomics, operator competency and training, operator concentration-loose attention fatigue, manual mouthing before the tightening operation, frequent task changes, critical tightening sequence, positioning of the part and/or directional assembly were found relatively critical for the selected 20 tightening operations.

Originality/value
This is a unique study for the evaluation of the attributes for manual tightening complexity in automotive assembly lines. The output of this study can be used to improve manual tightening failures in manual assembly lines and to create low complexity assembly lines in new model launches.
Analysing the risk-return relationship in privately held firms: the contingent effect of being a family firm
Authors: Rojo Ramírez Alfonso Andrés , Martínez-Victoria MCarmen , Martínez-Romero María J. 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe relationship between risk and return has been widely analysed in the scope of listed companies. However the present literature leaves uncovered an important study area with regards to privately held firms. In order to cover this gap, this study analyses the risk-return trade-off in the context of private enterprises. Furthermore, the authors incorporate the contingent effect of being a family firm on the abovementioned relationship.Design/methodology/approachUsing information from the SABI (Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos) database, a sample of 2,297 private manufacturing firms were analysed for the period of 2009–2016. So as to ascertain the proposed hypotheses, dynamic panel data methodology was applied. Specifically, the authors estimated the two-step general method of moments (GMM).FindingsThe obtained findings reveal that, according to prospect theory arguments, privately held firms adopt a conservative attitude toward risk when results are higher than a target level, while becoming risk seeking when results are lower than a target level. Moreover, the fact of being a family firm softens the risk-return relationship both when performance is above the target level and also when firms find themselves in the lowest performing case.Originality/valueThis article is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, one of the first studies dealing with the risk-return relationship in a privately held firm context. Moreover, the inclusion of being a family firm as a contingent factor in the abovementioned link is a complete novelty.
Why do good soldiers in good organizations behave wrongly? The vicarious licensing effect of perceived corporate social responsibility
Authors: Dadaboyev Sherzodbek Murodilla Ugli , Choi Sungwon , Paek Soyon 
Published: September 2022

PurposeWhile most corporate social responsibility (CSR) research has focused on its positive effects, the potential “dark side” of CSR has received scant attention. Grounded in vicarious moral licensing theory and insights from related literature, the current study examines how employees' perceptions of external CSR could result in unintentional negative consequences like unethical pro-organizational behavior via psychological entitlement. The study also investigates the direct and conditional effects of private self-awareness.Design/methodology/approachA two-wave survey of 609 full-time employees from various occupations was conducted to empirically test the hypotheses. Several techniques and remedies were applied to control the quality of the sample data and mitigate the effects of potential common method bias.FindingsThe results demonstrate that unethical pro-organizational behavior can be an unintentional negative outcome of perceived external CSR, and psychological entitlement mediates the relationship.Research limitations/implicationsThis work contributes to the moral licensing literature by examining vicarious moral licensing in the work domain. It offers several new and significant implications for research on CSR, psychological entitlement, and unethical pro-organizational behavior. The results suggest that managers should be mindful of unethical pro-organizational behavior as a potential negative consequence of external CSR engagement.Originality/valueThis study is among the first attempts to examine vicarious moral licensing in the work domain and investigates a largely neglected research area – the negative aspect of external CSR.
The cross-country evaluation of nuclear science and technology publications
Authors: Loan Fayaz Ahmad , Shah Ufaira Yaseen 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to measure the quality of nuclear science and technology research using the scientometric indicators, like activity index, attractivity index and publication efficiency index.

Design/methodology/approach
The present scientometric study is based on the bibliographic data extracted from the core collection of the Web of Science database from 1989 to 2019. The data was collected using the advanced search feature, with a search string of 28 related terms. The bibliographic data for all the journal articles, excluding all other formats, was downloaded for statistical analysis.

Findings
The present study highlights the growth pattern and the research efforts devoted to the field of nuclear science and technology worldwide, as reflected through the Core Collection of the Web of Science database, for 31 years from 1989 to 2019. The USA has emerged as the topmost producer, with a total share of almost 29% with respect to the world literature followed by Japan, Germany, France and UK. However, the relative citation impact has been the highest for Netherlands followed by the USA, Germany, France and UK, respectively. The study depicted that the activity index, also called as the relative performance indicator, has been the highest for the USA, whereas the attractivity index has been the highest for China, indicating its dominance in attracting citations to its publications in the field of nuclear science and technology. The publication efficiency index, the value has been the maximum for Iran, for which the value has been greater than 1 (1.618). The measure suggests that Iran’s research effectiveness in the field of nuclear science and technology has been more than the research effort devoted to the field.

Research limitations/implications
The paper was based on the data retrieved from a single database, and the results may vary across other databases. Hence, caution should be taken while generalizing the findings.

Originality/value
Several scientometric studies have taken place in the field of nuclear science and technology, particularly in its allied branches, but none of the studies has focused on evaluating the research efforts carried out by the countries in terms of activity index, attractivity index and publication efficiency index, and the present study is an attempt to fill the gap.

Authors: Carlsson Sandra , K Flensner Karin , Svensson Lars , Willermark Sara 
Published: September 2022

PurposeDue to the global outbreak of Covid-19, Swedish teachers in upper secondary education were forced to conduct emergency remote teaching. As of today, there is a stream of research that addresses digitalization in education in light of the pandemic. Previous studies show that the challenges with the sudden intensification of digitalization have been particularly challenging in practical and aesthetic subjects. The research question is as follows: What challenges did vocational teachers experience during the emergency remote teaching caused by Covid-19 and what emergent tactics can be identified in vocational teaching practice?Design/methodology/approachThe empirical data consists of (1) interviews with two vocational teachers and, (2) workshops with 25 teacher students from different vocational programmes that addressed vocational teaching during the Covid-19 crisis.FindingsEmergency remote teaching meant challenges due to the changed socio-material environment that cannot easily be transformed to a vocational teaching setting. The challenges were related to authentic situations and material, problem solving and dexterity. Tactics that emerged as a response to the challenges were mainly connected to attempts to mimic vocational practices.Originality/valueContributions include explaining specific challenges and possibilities in developing vocational competence when teaching is digitalised. Furthermore, it increases the understanding of the relationship between theory and practice in vocational education. By adopting a socio-material perspective on vocational competence, the authors enhance the understanding of the importance of a shared socio-material environment.
Quality of digital learning experiences – effective, efficient, and appealing designs?
Authors: Jahnke Isa 
Published: September 2022

PurposeFischeret al.(2022) present a framework for rethinking education, including broad design components such as learning-on-demand or learning takes place in the context of authentic problems. How can we bring those design components into practice? I argue that the design of innovative learning approaches for the digital age requires rigor in design and evaluation methods to understand what works and how and why it works.Design/methodology/approachThis case study applies the research to improve approach with iterative steps of design, development, and formative evaluation. Methods to be used are borrowed from user and learning experience fields, such as usability studies and pre/posttests for learning growth.FindingsThe design of digital learning experiences rests on the three dimensions of how learners interact with (a) the digital tool, space, or service; (b) the pedagogical elements of goals, activities, and assessments (e.g. sense-making); and (c) other peers or instructors.Originality/valueThis study provides useful insights on how to conduct research to improve versus research to prove and indicates the importance of data analysis related to the effectiveness, efficiency, and attractiveness of digital learning experiences. Learning experience design and research provides sufficient rigor and could play an important role in new ways of learning in the digital age with the goal “making learning a part of life” as pointed out by Fischeret al.(2022).
Application of multilevel confirmatory factor analysis to compositional organizational constructs
Authors: Ganesh Pavithra , Srivastava Kailash B.L. 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis study aims to offer insight into the applications of multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) within organizational behavior (OB) studies, specifically when using macro-level variables. The authors used the case of a scale measuring collective organizational engagement (COE) to demonstrate the advantage of using MCFA over single-level confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Design/methodology/approachThe authors used nine referent-shift items to measure the dimensions of physical, cognitive and emotional COE. MCFA and aggregated single-level CFA were conducted on the same data using Mplus V. 8.7, and the authors compared standardized parameters from the two techniques.FindingsThe results indicate a three-factor model of collective engagement with CFA and MCFA. Stronger item loadings, factor correlations and composite reliability were found in the MCFA within-level model compared to aggregated CFA model. MCFA also supported an alternate one-factor-between-three-factors-within model of COE.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates the application of MCFA with a compositional construct and compares MCFA to mean-aggregated single-level CFA. It presents a case for OB researchers to apply MCFA to compositional constructs as a best methodological practice.
The variation of family business branding across stakeholders: a social identity perspective
Authors: Zhang Zhibiao , Rowan Peter 
Published: September 2022

PurposeFamily business brand communication depends on the effect of the family on stakeholders' perception, and the family influences stakeholders differently, raising the question of whether family business branding varies across stakeholders. Drawing on social identity theory, this research classifies a family firm's stakeholders into family (in-group) and non-family (out-group) stakeholders and explores the communication of family business brands to these two groups of stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachData for this research were gathered from a questionnaire survey of 327 Chinese family firms.FindingsThe results show that family business brand communication differs between family and non-family stakeholders. Additionally, family harmony has a positive relationship with family business branding to family stakeholders and an inverse U-shaped relationship with family business branding to non-family stakeholders.Originality/valueThis research is the first to demonstrate that family business brand communication varies across stakeholders and that the effect of family characteristics (family harmony in this research) on family business branding differs between stakeholders. In addition, it expands the scope of the out-group in family firms to embrace all non-family stakeholders and suggests an intergroup opposition between family and non-family stakeholders, which is important for advancing family firm theory.

Authors: Ab Hamid Siti Ngayesah , Maulan Suharni , Wan Jusoh Wan Jamaliah 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the antecedents and consequences of corporate brand image in the context of Islamic banks in Malaysia. The antecedents of corporate brand image are divided into three categories which are functional brand attribute, emotional brand attribute and spiritual brand attribute. The consequence of corporate brand image on the other hand is loyalty.

Design/methodology/approach
A self-administered survey was used to collect data from experienced Islamic banking customers. A total of 281 questionnaires were analysed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling.

Findings
This study found a significant relationship between some aspects of the brand attributes and corporate brand image. Corporate brand image, in turn, influences customer loyalty.

Research limitations/implications
These findings contribute to the understanding that in the context of Islamic banks, the corporate brand image is not only influenced by the functional and emotional aspects, but also the spiritual aspect especially factors related to beliefs. Practically, this study provides insight to the management on the aspects valued by customers in regards to their bank, which could be used to guide Islamic bank positioning strategy.

Originality/value
The concept of corporate brand image has been explored from the perspective of functional and emotional aspects only. This study offers a new attribute influencing corporate brand image in the Islamic banking context, which is the spiritual brand attribute.
