description: This study examines whether motivation and the budgeting participation level mediate the relationship between favorable supervisory feedback environments (FSFEs) and behavior of budget gaming. The model’s adequacy was evaluated with structural modeling, and hypothesis testing was conducted using partial least squares. Data were collected through questionnaires via mail, personal facilities and hyperlinks. Out of 235 surveys from operational managers in the retail sector in the West Java province, Indonesia, 205 processable questionnaires were gathered, and the results indicated that FSFEs enhance intrinsic motivation and autonomous extrinsic motivation, which in turn increase the budgeting participation level and reduce budget gaming. The study’s results also indicate that both types of motivation and the budgeting participation level mediate the influence of FSFEs on behavior of budget gaming. Furthermore, the results show that controlled extrinsic motivation does not decrease the budgeting participation level, thus, neither mediate the relationship between FSFEs and budget gaming behavior. This study implies the importance of strengthening supervision quality to motivate more positive employee behaviors related to budget management. Based on these findings, it is recommended that organizations implement policies to foster constructive supervisory feedback environments. Additionally, enhancing supervisor training programs to focus on providing supportive and autonomy-promoting feedback could further improve budgeting practices and reduce budget gaming behaviors.

description: Tephritis maccus species group
Diagnosis. The Tephritis maccus species group can be recognized among all other species groups of Tephritis by the following combination of characters: wing pattern radiate; basal cells hyaline; pterostigma brownish without hyaline spot; apical fork connected to main wing pattern (except some male specimens of T. urelliosomima); cell r1 usually without or with only one large hyaline spot or indentation on anterior margin of wing (sometimes an additional small hyaline spot present); crossvein r-m in dark area; and aculeus moderately broad, sharply narrowing and pointed at extreme apex. The latter character occurs only in species of the T. maccus group and is believed to be a synapomorphy of this group of species.

description: This study investigates the impact of board characteristics on the financial performance of 14 listed banks in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. We use 84 firm-year observations of 14 listed banks from three stock markets in East Africa, namely Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), Nairobi Security Exchange (NSE), and Uganda Security Exchange (USE) for a six-year period that is 2017–2022. The accounting measure of financial performance was the net interest margin (NIM). This study used a fixed-effects panel analysis model to test the hypotheses. The empirical results reveal that board financial expertise positively and significantly influences financial performance. This implies that an increase in the proportion of board members with financial and accounting backgrounds increases bank performance. On the other hand, the proportion of foreign directors decreased bank performance as the variable exerted a negative and significant effect on bank performance. The results suggest that board structure has an important role to play in the governance of listed banks in East African frontier stock markets.

description: As more stakeholders pay increased attention to environmental concerns, the importance and application of green entrepreneurial orientation and green innovation have increased. Moreover, resource acquisition with firm age also plays a major role in giving confidence to invest in green activities. Therefore, the objective of the study is to identify the mediating role of green innovation and moderating role of resource acquisition with firm age between green entrepreneurial orientation and performance of entrepreneurial firms. The data was collected using simple random sampling. We found stimulating findings on the mediating role of green innovation and the moderating influence of resource acquisition with firm age on the relation between green innovation and performance of entrepreneurial firms based on the analysis of 384 enterprises operating in Karachi and Sialkot cities of Pakistan. More interestingly, our practical research implies that businesses that have been established for a longer time gain more compared to younger enterprises depending on green invention innovation and green utility-model innovation. These findings were a major contribution to the resource-based view and green utility-model. Our study adds to knowledge on both green entrepreneurial orientation and green innovation and guides the future researchers as well as practitioners about policies that they need to follow to gain the best out of green practices. Furthermore, we suggested the government authorities to motivate businesses to invest in green practices and guided the future researchers to identify the same influences of longer period, thereby guiding to go for longitudinal studies over the same model.

description: Genus Crisicoccus Ferris 1950
Crisicoccus Ferris 1950: 45.
Type species: Dactylopius pini Kuwana 1902.
Genus diagnosis (adapted and modified from Williams 2004). Body of adult female normally broadly oval; anal lobe developed, each lobe with an anal lobe bar and bar seta present on ventral surface. Antennae each usually with 7 or 8 segments. Legs well developed, translucent pores usually present (rarely absent) on hind coxae, present also on hind tibiae and sometimes on hind femora. Tarsal digitules knobbed. Circulus normally present. Anterior and posterior ostioles present. Anal ring normal, usually bearing 6 setae. Cerarii numbering 0–17 pairs, each containing 2 conical setae or sometimes reduced to a single conical seta; often cerarii on head and thorax indistinct; preocular cerarii (C 2) absent. Auxiliary setae rarely present except on anal lobe cerarii. Body setae often flagellate, sometimes conical or spiniform. Trilocular pores normal. Multilocular disc pores present, usually confined to venter. Oral rim tubular ducts absent. Oral collar tubular ducts present on venter and sometimes also on dorsum.
Remarks. According to Williams (2004), Crisicoccus is considered a convenient genus to include any species possessing well-developed anal lobe bars that do not fit the features of other mealybug genera with anal lobe bars. Crisicoccus is quite similar to Formicococcus Takahashi 1928 and Planococcus Ferris 1950 and so it may be difficult to distinguish these genera. Further morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies of these three genera are greatly needed.

Observation: Cells are spherical or elongate, 2 to 3 µm long and 2 µm wide, rigid and with two flagella. The cells appear to be ventrally concave or have a shallow ventral depression. The flagella insert into the ventral depression: the longer one is 3 to 4 times the length of the cell and may be acronematic, and the short one is about the cell length. The anterior part of the cell is closely contacted to the substrate when the cell is gliding and the posterior part is raised. Three cells observed.
Remarks: Generally, observations are in accord with a previous data from a freshwater site in Antarctic (Tong et al. 1997). It is similar to Kiitoksia yatava Vørs 1992, but differs in possessing a second short flagellum. Kiitoksia resembles Clautriavia Massart 1900 having only one flagellum and gliding pattern, but is distinguished by the smaller size.

description: Each year, the average age of new smokers decreases in Indonesia, and at least one student in the classroom is a smoker. However, previous literature on adolescent smoking that focused on emotion and peer relationship remains largely underexplored. This study aimed to examine the effects of the antecedent and moderator variables of empathic concern on altruistic motivation in context of adolescent smoking prevention. We designed a school-based smoking cessation program as a social marketing intervention tool to influence high-school student behavior using a testimonial video. A simulation with a hypothetical scenario was conducted to observe students’ reactions to the stimulus. Participants were exposed to a testimonial video of a young person who has suffered because of smoking, and were asked to imagine such consequences happening to their own peers. The program development started in June 2022, and was implemented in August-September 2022. A total 78 students from two experimental studies was participated. We use ANOVA to test the effect of stimuli on empathic concern and regression analysis to test the effect of empathic concern on altruistic motivation. This study found that salience of the need (light vs. severe condition) and attachment style (secure vs. Insecure) significantly affect student empathic concern. Simultaneously, empathic concern also significantly affected altruistic motivation, and no significant interaction effect was reported. In addition, the result also suggest that the affective approach is more effective in affecting empathic concern and altruistic motivation than the cognitive approach. The implications of this research suggest that schools, as organizations, can utilize a multimedia approach (e.g., video testimonials) to design comprehensive social marketing programs focused on peer relationships.

Specimens examined. Four females, RUSSIA, Tyumen Province, vicinity of lake Kuchak, 57°21’N, 66°03’E, 27 April 2018, O. Joharchi coll., in the nest of Formica rufa L.

Notes. Androlaelaps myrmecophilus was described as a new subspecies of A. casalis (Berlese) from Great Britain (Evans & Till 1966). It has been found associated with Formica rufa L. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Huhta & Karg (2010) raised it to the species level and examined specimens from ants’ nests from Finland. Davydova & Nikolsky (1986) reported Androlaelaps aff. casalis from Western Siberia on the basis of specimens collected from the ants’ nests. We have not had the opportunity to examine any specimens to confirm this identification. A. myrmecophilus is now recorded in Western Siberia for the first time. Our specimen agrees very well with the description given by Evans & Till (1966, Fig. 11). This species most resembles A. casalis but differs from it by basally inflated pilus dentilis (Fig. 4) (vs. slender in A. casalis), smaller body size (Figs 1, 2) and setae Z5 obviously longer and thicker than all dorsal seate, with 2–4 minute barbs (Fig. 3) (vs. setae Z5 short, simple and the same thickness with the other dorsal setae in A. casalis).
