abstract = {This paper aims to elucidate the dynamic capabilities (DCs) deployment by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in response to sanctions. Based on the interviews with Russia-based Chinese practitioners, we reveal how Chinese SMEs implement DCs to strategize their survival and growth in the sanctioned Russian market. This study portrays four scenarios and mechanisms of DCs emerging and reconfiguring firms' prior resources and capabilities to deal with sanction contingencies. Additionally, we suggest that Chinese culture predominately shapes Chinese SMEs' aspirations and actions in Russia. This research contributes to the strategic management and entrepreneurship literature by illuminating international business under sanctions and augmenting the theorization of DCs through explicating their nature and deployment processes and the peculiarities of SMEs in developing DCs. It simultaneously provides implications for businesses pursuing survival and expansion under adverse market conditions.},

Findings - This study highlights that greenwashing practices negatively impact people both economically and

socially. But greenwashing practices also have a profound impact on consumers' intention to purchase

ecofriendly products. It also demonstrates a significant moderating impact of big data analytics adoption on the

relationship between intention to purchase green products with its predictors.

Research limitations/implications - The study presentsinsights on greenwashing and itsimpact on society and

the economy. It also shows that technologies like BDA could help minimize the challenges of greenwashing

activities as well as the social and economic risks. Moreover, the study provides vital insights into the influence

of greenwashing practices on the intention to purchase green products. Finally, asthis is a cross-sectionalstudy,

there are some limitations.

Originality/value - This study takes a fresh look at greenwashing practices and BDA technology to overcome

some of the challenges. It provides a unique research model that is (1) unique in this research domain; (2)

abstract = {Drawing on the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory and the resource-based view (RBV), this study argues that environmental transformational leadership (ETL) enhances both economic and environmental performance through green human resource management (GHRM). It also examines the moderating role of environmental knowledge in the relationship between ETL and GHRM. Furthermore, this study posits that big data analytical capabilities (BDAC) strengthen the impact of GHRM on economic and environmental performance. Using a random sampling approach, we collected multi-respondent data from 355 manufacturing firms, incorporating insights from first-level managers and top executives. Structural equation modeling was employed as our analytical technique. The findings confirm that GHRM significantly mediates the effect of ETL on both economic and environmental performance. However, contrary to expectations, environmental knowledge does not moderate the ETL-GHRM relationship. In contrast, BDAC strengthens the influence of GHRM on economic and environmental performance. This study contributes to the leadership literature by identifying the underlying mechanism (how) and boundary conditions (when) through which ETL influences firms' performance outcomes.},

abstract = {The goal of multi-view clustering is to partition unlabeled objects into disjoint clusters or groups using consistent and complementary information provided by the different features of the same object. Most existing methods perform this clustering task sequentially: Computation of the individual or consistent graph matrices, spectral embedding, and clustering. In this work, we present an approach that can overcome some of the limitations of previous multiview clustering methods. We introduce a single objective function whose minimization can jointly determine the consistent graph matrix for all views, the unified spectral data representation, the soft cluster indices, and the view weights. We present a constraint term that relates the cluster indices to the convolution of the consistent spectral data representations over the consistent graph. The method we present has two interesting features that are not simultaneously present in recent work. First, the cluster indices can be estimated directly without the need for an additional clustering step, which depends heavily on initialization. Second, the soft cluster indices are directly linked to the kernel representation of the features of the views. Moreover, our proposed method automatically determines the weights of each view, thus requiring fewer hyperparameters. A series of experiments have been conducted on real datasets. These demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method, which compares favorably to many multi-view clustering methods.},

measured as the fraction of directors appointed after the Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) assumes office to board size, and firms' financial distress risk

(FFDR). Understanding the relationship between CODIR and FFDR is imperative

due to the significant impact of high risk-taking on financial crises and the

heightened expectations placed on board members for risk oversight. Despite

growing research on corporate governance and FFDR, little attention has been

paid to the role of CODIRs, presenting a significant gap in the literature. Using

a US sample from 1996 to 2019, covering 13,486 firm-year observations, we

document that CODIR reduces FFDR, supporting the hypothesis that co-opted

directors have a lower financial distress risk-taking propensity than their nonco-

opted counterparts. We also find that a critical mass of at least three

CODIRs and independent CODIRs reduces FFDR. Our results also document

that CEO power in the form of CEO duality and CEO tenure, external monitoring

in the form of the number of analysts following the firm, competition, and

takeover susceptibility do not drive our main conclusions for co-option and

FFDR. Finally, the results show that CODIR reduces FFDR through liquidity

channels. The findings remain robust to various definitions of co-option and

distress risk, and are consistent in both difference-in-differences analysis and propensity score matching.},

abstract = {Purpose

The information and communications technology (ICT) industry is revolutionizing the world. However, achieving net zero emissions and sustainable development goals is equally important. This study uses intellectual capital-based and natural resource-based theories to determine whether green information technology capital (GITC) mediates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental performance. The role of the top management teams (TMT) green commitment as a moderator between CSR and GITC is also hypothesized.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected using multi-wave and multi-respondent strategies from 275 ICT firms to examine these relationships. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis.

Findings

The findings demonstrate that CSR significantly and positively impacts environmental performance, with GITC significantly mediating this relationship. Furthermore, the statistical results confirm that TMT's green commitment significantly strengthens the connection between CSR and GITC.

Originality/value

The significance of TMT's green commitment as a boundary condition that enhances the effectiveness of strategically aligned CSR practices provides novel theoretical insights to extend the CSR literature. Additionally, it offers practical implications for the managers of ICT firms, which are discussed in detail.},

Additionally, we explore the integration of optical character recognition (OCR), translation tools, and image detection techniques, including scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), speeded-up robust features (SURF), oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB), and binary robust invariant scalable keypoints (BRISK). Through this analysis, we highlight the advancements and potential of assistive technologies. To assess these solutions, we have implemented a rigorous benchmarking framework evaluating accuracy, usability, response time, robustness, and generalizability. Furthermore, we investigate mobile integration strategies for real-time practical applications. As part of this effort, we have developed a mobile application incorporating features such as automatic captioning, OCR based text recognition, translation, and text-to-audio conversion, enhancing the daily experiences of visually impaired users.

abstract = {Purpose - The consumption of no-and low-alcohol (NoLo) wines has emerged as a growing trend among Italian

millennials, reflecting a shift towards healthier and more mindful drinking habits. This paper delves into the

social factors driving this trend, employing the rational of habit theory to provide a comprehensive

understanding of NoLo wines consumption as a social behaviour among Italian millennials.

Design/methodology/approach - The research design comprises symmetrical and asymmetrical approach.

The study employs Cluster and fsQCA to understand the granularities of NoLo wine consumption.

Findings - The present study reveals that young adults are willingness to pay (WTP) more for NoLo wine in

exchange of improved health benefits as a reward. The contrarian observation of relatively consumers with low

average income exhibiting the high willingness to pay more for NoLo wine.

Research limitations/implications - The sample islimitedto Italyand skewed in terms ofNoLowine consumption.

The participants were aware of NoLo wine but did not consume it in the past year. The study identified the

paradoxical stance of low average family income group exhibiting more willingness-to-pay for de-alcoholised wine.

Practical implications - Firstly, young adults are increasingly health-conscious,seeking alternativesto alcohol

that promote well-being and reduce health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Secondly,

mindfulness practices have gained popularity among young adults for altering self-perception, leading to a

preference for beverages that align with mindful consumption and stress reduction. NoLo wine offers a suitable

alternative, providing a similar sensory experience without the intoxicating effects of alcohol.

Social implications - Habit theory, pioneered by James (1890), posits that habits are formed through a three-stage

process: cue,routine and reward.In the context of NoLo wine consumption, cues can include social gatherings, dining

occasions orstressrelieftriggers. The routine involvesthe act of consuming NoLo wine, while the reward stemsfrom

the perceived benefits of this wine, such as reduced alcohol intake, improved health and social acceptance. The

prevalence of NoLo wine consumption among Italian young adults can be attributed to a confluence ofsocialfactors.

Originality/value - The paper attempts to evaluate the contrarian case using fsQCA and the conceptual

configuration of necessary conditions, viz. self-perception, social norms and health-consciousness.},

abstract = {Urban environments present significant challenges to commercial Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers due to degraded satellite visibility and Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) receptions. Mitigating NLOS receptions for GNSS is essential, especially for safety-critical and reliability-critical location-based applications. Traditional physical error channel propagation modeling encountered bottlenecks since the NLOS and multipath errors cannot be modeled accurately in complex urban environments. Data-driven methods show significant potential for effectively classifying GNSS Line-of-sight (LOS) and NLOS. This paper proposes the CarNet - a generative Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based GNSS LOS/NLOS classifier by transforming multivariate time-series data into images. CarNet comprises two modules: an image generator and an image classifier. The image generator enriches and augments the original 1-dimension feature vector into 2-dimension feature maps and the image classifier uses an inception-based CNN to realize multi-scale feature extraction and classification. The proposed architecture is trained and tested on more than 6 h of real vehicle data collected in different challenging environments (about 1.6 million samples). A thorough benchmark is conducted, comparing CarNet against the existing mainstream Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. The results with cross-validation on unseen data indicate that CarNet achieves the highest accuracy, i.e., 81.47% while maintaining the optimal balance between precision for both classes: 83.3% for LOS and 70.99% for NLOS. Finally, positioning accuracy is assessed using a reweighting strategy based on the LOS/NLOS information predicted by CarNet. The assessment of total datasets shows that CarNet weighting can achieve the best accuracy compared to the traditional weighting schemes based on signal-to-noise ratio or satellite elevation. CarNet shows strong potential for embedding into GNSS receivers to enhance positioning accuracy in complex urban environments, benefiting a wide range of location-based applications such as autonomous driving, emergency response, and urban logistics.},

The system becomes significantly simpler (at least in the mathematical sens) under the hypothesis of small topographic variation. In this work we study the long time and global well-posedness of the Boussinesq-Peregrine system. We start by showing the intermediate time well-posedness in the case of general topography (i.e. the amplitude of the bottom graph ?=O(1)). The novelty resides in the functional setting, Hs(R), s>12. Then we show our main result establishing that the global existence result obtained in [14] in the flat bottom case is still valid for the Boussinesq-Peregrine system under the hypothesis of small amplitude bottom variation (i.e. ?=O(?)). More precisely we prove that this system is unconditionally globally well-posed in the Sobolev spaces of type Hs(R), s>12. Finally, we show the existence of a weak global solution in the Schonbek sense [18], i.e. existence of low regularity entropic solutions of the small bottom amplitude BoussinesqPelegrine equations emanating from u0?H1and ?0in an Orlicz class as weak limits of regular solutions.

Hypothesis testing was performed and findings indicate that lower-order capabilities, such as adaptability, agility, and alignment capabilities, play a critical role in developing dynamic capability, that is, digital technology capability, which helps in achieving superior operational performance. However, innovative lean management capability plays a partial mediation role between digital technology capability and operational performance.

examining simultaneously the mediating role of intention to share knowledge and the moderating role of

organizational tenure.

Design/methodology: We developed and tested a mediated moderation model. The study hypotheses were tested

with partial least squares structural equation modeling techniques.

Findings: Results from 309 medical representatives supported the study hypotheses, indicating that leader humility

is related to employee voice via intention to share knowledge, and this relationship is stronger for shortertenured

employees than for longer-tenured ones. The study also provides implications for both theory and

practice.

Practical implications: The study provides empirical evidence in support of the positive effect of leader humility on

employee voice. Therefore, we suggest that executive administration should pay particular attention to promoting

humility in leadership to appropriately manage extra-role behavior such as employee voice.

Originality: Recently, leader humility has attracted scholarly attention in organization studies. It is considered a

key antecedent of employees' extra-role behavior and a contextual factor that is associated with many positive

employee and organizational outcomes.},

TeleAbsence fosters illusory communications to conjure the feeling of being there with those no longer with us without using synthetic or generative representations and utterances. Our vision is deeply inspired by the Portuguese concept ?Saudade??the ?desire for the beloved thing, people, place, and moment, made painful by its absence.? We present our vision through five design principles: presence of absence, illusory communication, the materiality of memory, traces of reflection, and remote time, grounded in historical and cultural contexts. We present exploratory narratives to illustrate these principles and the concept of ambient co-presence using poetry, phone, piano, and pen as mediums. We discuss challenges and opportunities for future work, including representational strategies to depict lost loved ones, ethical issues, and the possible extension of TeleAbsence to historical public figures.},

abstract = {This study investigates the factors influencing older consumers' word of mouth and intention to use meal planner applications,

given that 57% of Malaysians aged 60 and above are active Internet users. The current study utilized an extended technology

acceptance model and the stimulus organism response framework to examine the cognitive-affective dichotomy of usage influence. The respondents were initially selected through purposive sampling and further screened using filter questions to ensure

alignment with the study objectives, resulting in data collected from 392 elderly individuals across various demographic regions of

Malaysia. The analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS. The results indicated

that cognitive factors (subjective norm, facilitating conditions, and app characteristics) positively impacted the affective components (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use), which, in turn, enhanced consumers' attitudes toward using these applications. Furthermore, openness to change and gender were observed to moderate the relationship between affective and

conative responses (word of mouth and behavioral intention). The study provides new insights into the aging population on

food-related mobile applications to governments, food service-based organizations, restaurants, and app designers. Thus,

focus can be on improving app characteristics and facilitating conditions to enhance perceived usefulness and ease of use

while also considering how gender and openness to change may influence consumers' attitudes and behaviors.},

abstract = {Bioactive glass (BG)/polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites have gained significant attention for bone repair applications due to their mechanical and biological properties. In this study, sol-gel-derived bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBG) with a mean diameter of 53.38?nm were surface-modified with (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) to ensure uniform dispersion within the PLA matrix. Composite materials containing 0, 2, 8, and 16?wt% of surface-modified bioactive glass nanoparticles (m-nBG) were synthesized using a solvent-evaporation method. The composites' mechanical properties (tensile and flexural), degradation rate, hydrophilicity, and cellular responses were evaluated. The addition of 2?wt% m-nBG significantly improved the mechanical performance, achieving a tensile strength of 37.14?MPa and a flexural strength of 72.2?MPa. However, increasing the filler content beyond this threshold resulted in agglomeration, leading to a reduction in mechanical strength, though the tensile modulus continued to rise with higher nanoparticle loading. Biodegradation tests showed that m-nBG fillers accelerated the degradation process, with higher filler concentrations further promoting matrix degradation and increasing water absorption. The 2?wt% m-nBG nanocomposite exhibited optimal cell viability, proliferation, and attachment, highlighting its potential for bone tissue engineering applications. These findings suggest that a balanced nanoparticle content enhances both mechanical integrity and biological activity in PLA-based composites.},

abstract = {This study examines the relationship between independent directors' cash compensation and real earnings management. Using the data of Chinese suspect firms over the period 2009-2023, we show that independent directors' cash compensation helps suspect firms reduce the magnitude of real earnings management, suggesting that cash-based compensation to independent directors enhances board independence and the effectiveness of its monitoring role over real earnings management. Further analysis shows that this relationship is significantly influenced by the ownership structure. Specifically, we find that non-state and foreign ownership strengthen the negative association between independent directors' cash compensation and real earnings management, implying that these investors enhance the governance role of independent directors' cash compensation in monitoring the opportunistic behaviour of managers. Our main findings are robust to alternate proxies of earnings management, sample composition, and endogeneity concerns using several econometric techniques. The study contributes to the related literature by providing empirical evidence on the association between non-equity compensation for independent directors and real earnings management in suspect firms. Our study also offers significant implications for international investors, firms, and regulators, especially after the inclusion of Chinese stocks in the MSCI indices.},

firms. We find that companies that have lower levels of greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions demonstrate better financial success over the long term. Moreover, al-

locating resources to environmentally-friendly advancements results in positive

financial results in both the short and long term. Our findings have important sig-

nificance for policymakers and practitioners, providing guidance for the creation

of sustainable business strategies. By promoting innovation focused on sustain-

abstract = {This paper presents a novel analytical framework to enhance the performance of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-integrated multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) free-space optical (FSO) communication systems. The study addresses critical challenges such as atmospheric turbulence, misalignment, and signal attenuation. It introduces a series-based approach to model the combined effects of Gamma-Gamma turbulence, generalized Rician pointing errors, and RIS size-related constraints. In contrast to previous studies, which often rely on oversimplified or idealized channel models, this framework provides closed-form expressions for the first time for the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the end-to-end channel specifically designed for RIS-empowered (RIS-E) MIMO-FSO systems. These expressions capture the complex interactions between channel impairments and system parameters, enabling accurate performance evaluation in real-world deployments. The derived formulations provide key performance metrics, including outage probability, average bit error rate, ergodic capacity, data rate, and energy efficiency, for a variety of system configurations. Practical diversity combining techniques such as equal gain combining, maximal ratio combining, and selection combining are rigorously analyzed. In addition, asymptotic analyses at high signal-to-noise ratios offer simplified expressions that provide valuable insights into coding gain, diversity order, and system behavior under extreme conditions. A key contribution of this work is the investigation of the optimization of RIS placement, which improves signal alignment and reduces the outage probability, even under challenging atmospheric conditions. In addition, the study highlights the computational efficiency of the proposed framework through a detailed complexity analysis that confirms its feasibility for practical, large-scale applications. Monte Carlo simulations validate the theoretical findings, demonstrating strong agreement with the analytical results. These results confirm the transformative potential of RIS technology in mitigating turbulence-induced fading and misalignment. This research establishes RIS-E MIMO-FSO systems as a robust, energy-efficient solution for next-generation, high-bandwidth optical networks. Additionally, it provides practical deployment guidelines, ensuring the effective integration of RIS technology into real-world wireless communication infrastructures, thereby advancing the development of resilient and high-performance optical communication systems.},

abstract = {In an era marked by heightened transparency and growing social consciousness, many companies opt for symbolic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communication rather than substantive action, giving rise to skepticism and a phenomenon known as 'CSR decoupling.' Moreover, revelations of financial fraud within ostensibly socially responsible firms exacerbate ethical concerns, raising doubts about their sincerity and regulatory oversight mechanisms. This study delves into US-listed firms to explore the nexus between CSR decoupling and financial fraud. Utilizing propensity score matching (PSM), the sample is meticulously drawn from 15,993 firm-year observations from US-listed firms. The research uncovers that firms engaged in CSR decoupling face elevated risks of financial misconduct. Additionally, deficient governance, subpar audit quality, and concentrated ownership structures amplify the likelihood of financial fraud. Our findings underscore the imperative for stakeholders and regulatory bodies to exercise discernment in scrutinizing CSR performance and disclosures, as managerial self-interests can skew CSR initiatives, misleading stakeholders.},
