Trauma can affect everyone. The effects of trauma often extend into workspaces, adversely affecting relationships and productivity. A trauma-informed leader is someone who incorporates compassion and empathy into their management toolkit. This chapter will define trauma-informed leadership, the role it can play in shaping the lives of individuals and creating a positive work environment which fosters health and well-being, and how it can be applied in a library setting with a specific focus on grief and loss.

This study aims to examine the causal and reciprocal relationships between participation in travel and recreational activities and depression alleviation among survivors of traumatic events. It seeks to uncover the transformative potential of these activities as nonpharmacological interventions and to provide insights that inform the therapeutic design of travel in rehabilitation contexts.

Using a longitudinal dataset, this study employs the random intercept cross-lagged panel model – a robust technique for evaluating causal relationships in nonexperimental longitudinal research – to assess the reciprocal effects between travel and recreation participation and depression severity over time.

Individuals with more severe depression are more likely to engage in travel as a coping mechanism. However, travel does not inherently alleviate depressive symptoms, likely because its physical and emotional demands often outweigh its benefits. This highlights the need to transform travel into structured interventions to maximize therapeutic potential. In contrast, recreational activities exhibit a stronger therapeutic effect, with early participation reducing depressive symptoms and lower depression levels, subsequently encouraging continued engagement in recreation over time.

By highlighting the interplay between social causation and social withdrawal theories, this research proposes transforming travel experiences into structured therapeutic interventions, pioneering a new perspective on integrating health and tourism studies. The study encourages researchers to adopt a holistic approach to understanding the health benefits of travel, considering both the influence of external factors on health and how individuals respond to their psychological state.

本研究旨在深入探讨创伤事件幸存者参与旅行与娱乐活动与抑郁症状缓解之间的因果和相互作用关系, 旨在揭示这些活动作为非药物干预的潜在疗效, 并为康复场景下旅行的治疗性设计提供理论依据和实践参考。

本研究利用纵向数据集, 采用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM）进行分析。该方法是一种适用于非实验性纵向研究的模型工具, 能够有效评估旅行与娱乐活动参与和抑郁严重程度之间的双向动态影响。

研究发现, 抑郁程度较高的个体更倾向于将旅行作为一种应对机制。然而, 由于旅行活动的身体与情感成本通常超过其潜在收益, 旅行本身并未显著缓解抑郁症状。这表明, 需要将旅行体验转化为结构化的治疗干预, 以充分发挥其潜在价值。相较而言, 娱乐活动表现出更显著的治疗作用。早期参与娱乐活动能够有效降低抑郁症状, 而抑郁水平的降低反过来又会激励个体持续参与娱乐活动, 从而形成良性循环。

本研究通过结合社会因果理论和社会退缩理论, 提出了有必要将旅行体验转化为结构化治疗干预的新视角, 为健康与旅游研究的整合提供了新的理论创新路径。同时, 本研究倡导从整体视角理解旅行的健康益处, 兼顾外部环境对健康的影响以及个体心理状态对行为的反馈作用, 为未来研究提供了重要启示。

Este estudio tiene como objetivo examinar las relaciones causales y recíprocas entre la participación en actividades de viaje y recreación y el alivio de la depresión entre los sobrevivientes de eventos traumáticos. Busca descubrir el potencial transformador de estas actividades como intervenciones no farmacológicas y proporcionar ideas que informen el diseño terapéutico de viajes en contextos de rehabilitación.

Utilizando un conjunto de datos longitudinales, este estudio emplea el Modelo de Panel Cruzado con Intercepto Aleatorio (RI-CLPM), una técnica robusta para evaluar relaciones causales en investigaciones longitudinales no experimentales, para analizar los efectos recíprocos entre la participación en viajes y recreación y la gravedad de la depresión a lo largo del tiempo.

Las personas con depresión más severa tienden a participar en viajes como mecanismo de afrontamiento. Sin embargo, el viaje en sí no alivia inherentemente los síntomas depresivos, probablemente porque sus demandas físicas y emocionales suelen superar sus beneficios. Esto resalta la necesidad de transformar los viajes en intervenciones terapéuticas estructuradas para maximizar su potencial. En contraste, las actividades recreativas muestran un efecto terapéutico más fuerte, con una participación temprana que reduce los síntomas depresivos y niveles más bajos de depresión que fomentan la participación continua en recreación a lo largo del tiempo.

Al destacar la interacción entre las teorías de causalidad social y retirada social, esta investigación propone transformar las experiencias de viaje en intervenciones terapéuticas estructuradas, abriendo una nueva perspectiva para integrar estudios de salud y turismo. El estudio fomenta que los investigadores adopten un enfoque holístico para comprender los beneficios de salud de los viajes, considerando tanto la influencia de factores externos en la salud como cómo las personas responden a su estado psicológico.

Drawing on a cognitive attribution approach to charismatic leadership, this study identifies an overlooked influence behavior – supervisor self-disclosure of a traumatic loss as contributing to subordinate charismatic attributions (e.g. idealized influence) and trust toward their supervisor.

Employing an experimental vignette method, participants (n = 201) were assigned to one of two conditions: (1) supervisor self-disclosure of traumatic loss or (2) control condition, and then reported on charismatic attributions about the supervisor in the scenario and trust toward the supervisor.

The results revealed that supervisors’ self-disclosure to subordinates influences subordinate attributions of charisma toward their supervisors and affective-based, cognitive-based trust.

While an experimental approach supports causal inference, future research may consider the long-term effects of supervisors’ self-disclosure on subordinates’ attributions and trust.

Self-disclosure may be used authentically but cautiously to build relationships with subordinates and potentially benefit management development programs.

This study provides the first empirical insights into how a supervisor’s disclosure of a traumatic loss – an uncharted territory – affects subordinates’ perceptions of the supervisor’s charisma and subsequent trust.

This short article takes the play and passion of children’s literacy as its focal point. Rather than orienting reading and writing around what should be taught or how children should respond and understand written text, in this short reflective essay we aim to explore the play and passion inherent in children’s literacy practices. We do not aim to precisely conceptualise or delineate the nature of play or passion but, instead, to trace the path of these ideas through seminal research studies within the field of New Literacy Studies as well as drawing on the authors’ fieldwork.

This paper begins with an exploration of foundational research in the field of new literacy studies, drawing attention to the abundant presence of children’s play and passion. Then, it visits two moments of play and passion from the authors’ fieldwork that suggest ways of thinking anew about children’s literacy practices beyond responding to text. The first, by Kenneth Pettersen, considers childhood collecting across home/pre-school settings in Norway; the second, by Stefan Kucharczyk, looks at children’s curatorship in Minecraft at an afterschool videogame club in the UK. This paper concludes with a proposed reimagining of literacy education, outlining implications for researchers, policymakers and practitioners.

These observed moments of collecting and gaming are analysed in the context of children’s play and passion. In both cases, we highlight how observing children following their passions and interests can challenge how we, as adult researchers, view their play and how we think about literacy. Rather than being in opposition to one another, our analysis of children’s collecting and worldbuilding account for the felt experience in children’s literacy practices.

Moving inside of two separate research studies, we give a bird’s eye view of what can be gained by observing and drawing out play and passion while children respond and make meaning through varied texts and objects in two different contexts. The article therefore is an invitation to think otherwise about reading and writing by embracing play and passion as children’s pathway into rich literacy moments.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of corporate attributes like a company’s profitability, size, age, leverage and board size on companies’ sustainability reporting as measured through India’s new business responsibility and sustainability reporting (BRSR) framework.

A random sample of 130 companies was taken from the top 1,000 listed companies on the National Stock Exchange. Sequential mixed methods research approach was used to prepare a sustainability quality index. Then, a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the impact on the quality of reporting by Indian companies.

Interestingly, the analysis revealed that traditional metrics like age, profitability, board size and leverage did not have significant associations with reporting quality. Rather, the size of a company in terms of market capitalisation was found to have a strong positive impact on sustainability reporting.

This was a cross-sectional study, as time series data for BRSR reporting is not yet available. Also, only five parameters were taken for analysis. Lastly, subjective judgment in content analysis may be involved.

This suggests that only larger companies in India are prioritising sustainability reporting over smaller ones. It affirms the legitimacy and stakeholder theory in the Indian context.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first endeavours to assess the efficacy of the new Indian BRSR framework and test its primary objectives. Furthermore, significant implications have been given for managers to catalyse and reinforce the sustainability momentum down the lane across companies of all sizes in India.

This study uses bibliometric visualization techniques to comprehensively review the intertwined concepts of dark tourism, thana tourism and ghost tourism from 2000 to 2023. The research seeks to clarify the ambiguity and inconsistencies arising from the interchangeable use of these terms and sets forth a roadmap for future research endeavors.

This study meticulously extracts research keywords from 634 scholarly papers in the Scopus database. It undertakes a thorough bibliometric analysis utilizing the visualization of similarities (VOS) viewer and RStudio to map the interconnectedness of these tourism phenomena.

The study identifies and explores contemporary theories such as self-categorization theory, stimulus-organism-response theory, embodiment theory, self-determination theory, socio-cognitive theory, risk perception theory, services theory, dark tourism theory, social and cultural theory, push-pull theory, performance theory, and wound culture theory. The research reveals four primary clusters through keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling analyses: dark tourism insights, dynamics of dark tourism, dark tourism review and dark tourism experiences, illustrating their interrelationships and robustness.

Dark tourism insights can guide ethical practices, ensuring respectful site management and accurate historical representation. Integrating dark tourism into broader destination strategies can diversify offerings, attract niche markets and contribute to preserving historical memory through reflective experiences.

This study's outcomes significantly contribute to tourism literature by enhancing our understanding of the overlapping terminologies associated with dark, thana and ghost tourism. This improved comprehension sheds light on the importance of the research agenda surrounding the concept of dark, thana and ghost tourism.

Laser hot wire additive manufacturing (LHWAM) is a newer technology within the space of large-scale directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) processes. This study aims to map known AM flaw types such as lack of fusion and keyholing, as well as a dripping flaw unique to hot wire processes, across process parameter space using a small number of single-track experiments.

A semianalytical model was calibrated using a small initial set of experimental data. Lack of fusion and keyholing flaws were mapped across process space using existing models. The dripping flaw was modeled via analytical methods calibrated with experimental data, and then mapped across processing space. Further experimental data beyond the small initial set was used to evaluate the accuracy of the process maps developed. A website and executable were deployed to users of the process for convenient rapid process parameter selection.

With the process maps generated during this work, users can easily and rapidly generate desirable parameter sets for a range of conditions, enabling the intelligent utilization of the entire stable processing regime.

The methodology developed can be applied to other LHWAM machines or DED processes to rapidly and inexpensively generate a systematic understanding of processing space for build planning.

LHWAM shows advantages over other large-scale DED processes, but a systematic physically informed study of the key flaw regions across process space had not been conducted, limiting more widespread use of the process and creating a gap that this study fills.
