Authors: Agrawal Aditi , Touma Sawaya Rayah , Ojeahere Margaret , Padilla Vanessa , El Hayek Samer 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study aims to review the presentation of substance use disorders in older adults, how addiction intertwines with neurocognitive disorders and how to approach this vulnerable population.Design/methodology/approachElectronic data searches of PubMed, Medline and the Cochrane Library (years 2000–2021) were performed using the keywords “neurocognitive,” “dementia,” “substance use,” “addiction,” “older adults” and “elderly.” The authors, in consensus, selected pivotal studies and conducted a narrative synthesis of the findings.FindingsResearch about substance use disorders in older adults is limited, especially in those with superimposed neurocognitive disorders. Having dual diagnoses can make the identification and treatment of either condition challenging. Management should use a holistic multidisciplinary approach that involves medical professionals and caregivers.Originality/valueThis review highlights some of the intertwining aspects between substance use disorders and neurocognitive disorders in older adults. It provides a comprehensive summary of the available evidence on treatment in this population.

3D large strain hierarchical multiscale analysis of soft fiber-reinforced tissues: application to a degraded arterial wall
Authors: Hatefi Ardakani Saeed , Fatemi Dehaghani Peyman , Moslemzadeh Hesam , Mohammadi Soheil 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe purpose is to analyze the mechanical behavior of the arterial wall in the degraded region of the arterial wall and to determine the stress distribution, as an important factor for predicting the potential failure mechanisms in the wall. In fact, while the collagen fiber degradation process itself is not modeled, zones with reduced collagen fiber content (corresponding to the degradation process) are assumed. To do so, a local weakness in the media layer is considered by defining representative volume elements (RVEs) with different fiber collagen contents in the degraded area to investigate the mechanical response of the arterial wall.Design/methodology/approachA three-dimensional (3D) large strain hierarchical multiscale technique, based on the homogenization and genetic algorithm (GA), is utilized to numerically model collagen fiber degradation in a typical artery. Determination of material constants for the ground matrix and collagen fibers in the microscale level is performed by the GA. In order to investigate the mechanical degradation, two types of RVEs with different collagen contents in fibers are considered. Each RVE is divided into two parts of noncollagenous matrix and collagen fiber, and the part of collagen fiber is further divided into matrix and collagen fibrils.FindingsThe von Mises stress distributions on the inner and outer surfaces of the artery and the influence of collagen fiber degradation on thinning of the arterial wall in the degraded area are thoroughly studied. Comparing the maximum stress values on outer and inner surfaces in the degraded region shows that the inner surface is under higher stress states, which makes it more prone to failure. Furthermore, due to the weakness of the artery in the degraded area, it is concluded that the collagen fiber degradation considerably reduces the wall thickness in the degraded area, leading to an observable local inflation across the degraded artery.Originality/valueConsidering that little attention has been paid to multiscale numerical modeling of collagen fiber degradation, in this paper a 3D large strain hierarchical multiscale technique based on homogenization and GA methods is presented. Therefore, while the collagen fiber degradation process itself is not modeled in this study, zones with reduced collagen fiber content (corresponding to the degradation process) are assumed.
Legal framework for the protection of foreign employees in China
Authors: Wu Wenfang , Luo Xuan 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study aims to examine the adequate application of rights and protections granted to employees under labor laws and regulations to foreign employees working in China.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyzed applicable laws, regulations and related literature on the employment of foreigners in China and employed quantitative and qualitative methods to scrutinize the features of labor disputes involving foreign employees, to assess claims of inconsistencies. A group of judges and labor arbitrators were also interviewed.FindingsThe inconsistencies between Chinese immigration and labor laws, and between applicable laws and court enforcement, result in a considerable gap in employment protection for foreign employees. They have grown over the last two decades, in a changing legal environment of labor protection and labor market for foreigners.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focused on documented foreign employees' labor litigations from 2017 to 2020 in people's courts in China's five most economically developed regions. Future studies could cover a wider geographic territory and labor disputes of undocumented foreign employees to provide an even more comprehensive picture of the challenges and potential solutions.Practical implicationsThe inconsistency between immigration and labor law regarding employment protection for documented foreign employees requires legal clarification and regulation to ensure equal employment protection of both Chinese and foreign employees.Originality/valueThere are limited studies using empirical data from different regions in China to document and understand the gap between the statutory labor protections and the labor protection granted to foreign employees in law as well as in court practice.

Authors: Wang Justine , Tomlins Mark , Tiwari Piyush 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine information and volatility linkages among real estate, equity, bond and money markets in Australia.Design/methodology/approachA novel rational expectations framework of financial contagion (Kodres and Pritsker, 2002), along with a combination of robust statistical methods including simple and dynamic correlations and generalized impulse response (Fereidouni et al., 2014) have been employed using data covering three dynamic pre-pandemic economic cycles, namely, global financial crisis (GFC) period, pre-pandemic housing boom and pre-pandemic housing downturn from 2008 (February) to 2019 (December).FindingsResults reveal information linkages across real estate, equity, bond and money markets through correlations in return and volatilities of these series. Finding indicates that the three financial markets (equity, bond and money markets) are interdependent and integrated through information and volatility linkages during the GFC period and pre-pandemic housing downturn period. Financial markets have stronger associations with real estate market during pre-pandemic housing boom. The findings contribute to the general notion that the performances of three financial markets are closely related to the “boom” phase of the real estate cycle.Originality/valueThis research provides an extension of existing literature regarding the information and volatility contagion of the expanded set of core investment markets in Australia. The findings could assist household buyers and investors in designing strategic investment portfolios/hedging strategies and minimizing asset specific risks through diversification over short-term and long-term. In addition, results could support the maintenance, growth and development of a combination of competitive balanced investment markets including real estate, equity, bond and money markets in post-pandemic economy.

Published: March 2022

PurposeReporters are considered unique in terms of their information needs and seeking from other groups of masses. As they are running information business, the purpose of the study is to know about their skills of seeking, evaluating and engaging with information effectively and efficiently.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was conducted with electronic media reporters from 20 news channels to assess their information literacy skills (IL) and personal information management practices (PIM).FindingsThe results indicated that the study’s participants considered themselves as information literate. They perceived themselves competent and confident in IL skills for the overall scale and on its all sub-dimensions as well. Interestingly, the study findings show that IL skills affect PIM practices positively. However, they were less competent in advanced searching techniques (i.e. use of Boolean logic, truncation etc.) and cloud-based storing tools and applications.Practical implicationsThe study has inferences for information professionals, educators, media owners and other stakeholders. Policymakers in electronic media, particularly media libraries should offer training opportunities by organizing workshops, seminars etc. to enhance their advanced IL as well as PIM skills at workplace.Originality/valueVery few studies investigated the IL phenomenon beyond its skills and assessment aspects. The present study uniquely identified impact of IL on PIM practices of working electronic media journalists.

Authors: Celik Ismail , Dindar Muhterem , Muukkonen Hanni 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study aims to explore Twitter posts of Turkish government agencies and the public under a specific hashtag, #NotHolidayButDistanceEducation, specifically related to online distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a thematic analysis on 22,547 original tweets posted by 6,970 users during the first month of online distance education in Turkish K-12 schools. Based on like and retweet counts, the study further explored the extent of stakeholders’ engagement with the observed themes.FindingsThe findings showed that government agencies and citizens used Twitter to provide technical and psychological support, appreciate and motivate stakeholders, demonstrate sample distance education activities, share information and offer suggestions about the ongoing online distance education. It was also observed that the hashtag has been used for expressing negative views about online distance education and for political purposes. A positive relationship was found between social media engagement and providing technical support or sharing information for online distance education.Practical implicationsThis study highlights the role of social media in providing practical and emotional support to education stakeholders in times of crisis. Thus, governments can use social media to provide evidence-based psychological and physical health support to their citizens during a pandemic. Social media can serve to improve education practices in schools through the interactions between the public and policymakers.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study can be considered unique because it demonstrates the civic use of social media for educational crisis management. This study highlights the influence of social media in educational policy and practice development in the contemporary era.
Toward capturing divergent collaboration in makerspaces using motion sensors
Authors: Chng Edwin , Seyam Mohamed Raouf , Yao William , Schneider Bertrand 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to uncover divergent collaboration in makerspaces using social network analysis to examine ongoing social relations and sequential data pattern mining to invesitgate temporal changes in social activities.

Design/methodology/approach
While there is a significant body of qualitative work on makerspaces, there is a lack of quantitative research identifying productive interactions in open-ended learning environments. This study explores the use of high frequency sensor data to capture divergent collaboration in a semester-long makerspace course, where students support each other while working on different projects.

Findings
The main finding indicates that students who diversely mix with others performed better in a semester-long course. Additional results suggest that having a certain balance of working individually, collaborating with other students and interacting with instructors maximizes performance, provided that sufficient alone time is committed to develop individual technical skills.

Research limitations/implications
These discoveries provide insight into how productive makerspace collaboration can occur within the framework of Divergent Collaboration Learning Mechanisms (Tissenbaum et al., 2017).

Practical implications
Identifying the diversity and sequence of social interactions could also increase instructor awareness of struggling students and having this data in real-time opens new doors for identifying (un)productive behaviors.

Originality/value
The contribution of this study is to explore the use of a sensor-based, data-driven, longitudinal approach in an ecologically valid setting to understand divergent collaboration in makerspaces. Finally, this study discusses how this work represents an initial step toward quantifying and supporting productive interactions in project-based learning environments.
The effect of institutional factors on financial deepening: evidence from 50 African countries
Authors: Sanga Bahati , Aziakpono Meshach 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis paper investigates the impact of institutional factors on financial deepening and its implications on bank credit in Africa.Design/methodology/approachThe paper employs different panel econometric models to examine the heterogeneity of 50 African countries from 2000 to 2019. The estimators include panel corrected standard errors, system generalized method of moments, quantile and threshold regressions.FindingsThe results show that rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, voice and accountability, control of corruption and political stability significantly influence financial deepening in Africa. However, government effectiveness has a higher effect on middle- and high-income countries, while other indicators have a high impact on low-income countries. All institutional indicators have stronger effects, almost double, at higher financial depth levels than for countries with lower levels. Government effectiveness and regulatory quality impact financial deepening more for countries with strong institutions than weak ones. Thus, the relationship between institutional qualities and credit provided by banks is non-monotonic.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that strengthening appropriate institutional factors based on country heterogeneity may effectively stimulate debt financing in Africa, the primary source of financing for small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper is that previous studies did not sufficiently scrutinize the heterogeneity of the structure of African economies – i.e. differences in institution, credit and income levels.
The relationship between corporate sustainability performance and earnings management: evidence from emerging East Asian economies
Authors: Nguyen Linh-TX 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationship between corporate sustainability performance and earnings management in emerging East Asian economies.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors base on the triple bottom line approach to measure corporate sustainability performance. In terms of earnings management, two models are applied to detect real activities manipulation and discretionary accruals. The authors use panel data analysis of 410 listed non-financial firms in emerging East Asian economies from 2016 to 2020 that are collected from the Thomson Reuters Eikon database.

Findings
The authors find a negative influence of corporate sustainability performance on real activities manipulation and discretionary accruals. The findings highlight the long-term perspective of sustainable development strategies in relation to earnings management. The authors conclude that sustainable firms in emerging East Asia are less likely to engage in earnings management.

Practical implications
The study would be of interest to investors who need more detailed assessments of financial reporting quality to facilitate their investment decision-making and to policymakers who need more understanding of business practices and reporting behaviors of East Asian firms.

Originality/value
The study has shed light on the role of corporate sustainability performance in constraining earnings management and the role of corporate ethics in providing transparent and reliable financial reporting in emerging East Asian economies.

Authors: Fernando Yudi , Wahyuni-T.D. Ika Sari , Gui Anderes , Ikhsan Ridho Bramulya , Mergeresa Fineke , Ganesan Yuvaraj 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the adoption barriers of Industry 4.0 in the Indonesian manufacturing supply chains.

Design/methodology/approach
The mixed method was deployed to validate the findings. First, the qualitative study was conducted based on the interviews. Then, the companies were approached using filter questions on the involvement in adopting industry 4.0 and its impact on the supply chain.

Findings
Based on the qualitative study, nine main barriers were found in the thematic analysis. Thus, to get a consensus on the barriers in the industry, the barrier indicators were tested using a structural equation model retrieved from 173 small and medium Indonesian manufacturing firms. Results indicate that five main barriers (e.g. unclear Industry 4.0 policy, higher-risk investment, insecure data sharing, lack of expertise and lack of incentive) are confirmed as the adoption barriers.

Practical implications
The successful adoption of supply chain integration with Industry 4.0 technology can strengthen the manufacturing sector and competitiveness. Therefore, this study can be a complimentary assessment to evaluate the Indonesia Industry 4.0 Readiness Index (INDI 4.0) and the effectiveness of the government support program.

Originality/value
The results can be used as the framework to foresee the successful implementation of smart manufacturing supply chain management and its integration. Therefore, the authors proposed the framework to foresee the successful implementation of smart manufacturing, supply chain management and integration.
Demystifying entrepreneurial name choice: insights from the US biotech industry
Authors: Stoyneva Irina , Vracheva Veselina 
Published: March 2022

PurposeDrawing from legitimacy and institutional entrepreneurship theory, this study assesses the naming patterns of entrepreneurial firms in the US biotechnology industry.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use a mixed-methods design of content analysis and regression to analyze a sample of 441 entrepreneurial biotechnology firms, for which data were obtained from Net Advantage. The authors track changes to the proportion of firms with naming attributes, such as name length and type of name. The authors also examine variability in those characteristics during the industry's evolution, comparing freestanding to acquired start-ups.FindingsStart-ups select names that are longer, more descriptive, begin with rare sounds or hard plosives and have stronger discipline- or technology-specific links during nascent years of the industry. As the industry evolves, entrepreneurs are more likely to select names that are shorter, more abstract, begin with hard plosives and have stronger industry-specific links. The naming patterns of freestanding and acquired companies differ, and companies that conform to industry pressures tend to remain independent.Originality/valueUnlike extant studies that assess established industries, the current study identifies shifting trends in the naming patterns of entrepreneurial firms in an emerging industry. By focusing on start-ups, the authors expand research on organizational naming practices, which focuses traditionally on name choices and name change patterns of incumbents. By using marketing and linguistics methods when analyzing organizational name attributes, naming patterns in these attributes are identified, including name length, name type, starting letter of the name and link to the industry.
