When Disaster Hits, Governance Splits : Different Effects on Domestic and Inbound Tourism
(2026-06-09) Er, Selahattin Tolga; Demir, Ender; Department of Business and Economics
While natural disasters have the potential to disrupt tourism demand, evidence on their impacts is mixed. This study positions governance quality as a central factor in explaining these divergent outcomes, examining its moderating role in the relationship between natural disasters and inbound and domestic tourism. Using panel data from OECD countries, we show that governance quality reduces, and in many cases reverses, the negative effects of disasters on inbound tourism, with effects persisting into the following year. In contrast, domestic tourism increases upon disasters in countries with low-governance quality. This moderating effect for domestic tourism is evident only for geological disasters, suggesting that governance matters for sudden-onset events. Overall, our results indicate that governance quality reshapes the tourism-disaster relationship, sustaining inbound tourism when strong and resulting in increased domestic travel when weak, underlining the differential effects of governance quality across inbound and domestic tourism.
From the Court to the Laboratory : The Scientific Evolution of Handball through Global Research and Performance Outcomes
(2026-05-28) Saavedra, Jose M.; Porgeirsson, Sveinn; Hatzimanouil, Dimitris; Escalante, Yolanda; Department of Sport Science
The objectives of this study were: (i) to analyze the evolution in the number of articles published on handball and the citations received; (ii) to determine whether there is a relationship between scientific production and the number of medals won in the Olympic Games and World Championships; (iii) to identify the research topics with the highest publication rates in handball; and finally, (iv) to identify the most cited articles, as well as the journals and countries that published the most on handball. Articles published between January 1, 1980, and December 31, 2024, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. For each article, the following information was analyzed: authors; journal (year, volume, issue, pages, DOI); institution and country; funding agency; number of citations; and research topic. Absolute values and percentages were presented for articles and citations per year. Regression analyses calculated the coefficients of determination for the relationships between the number of articles and year, citations and year, and medals and publications by country. A total of 1,412 articles were analyzed. Significant relationships were found between year and number of articles (R2=0.6625p<0.001), year and citations (R2=0.6697p<0.001), and publications and medals by country (R2=0.1575p<0.01). The four countries that published the most articles were Spain, Germany, Norway, and Brazil. The main research topics were physical capacities – measurements, injuries and sports medicine, and physiological responses and adaptation (training programs). Five journals accounted for 19% of all publications.
Reducing Intrusive Trauma Memories Using a Brief Mental Imagery Competing Task Intervention : Case Series of Trauma-Exposed Women in Iceland
(2026-05-15) Thorarinsdottir, Kristjana; Holmes, Emily A.; Hardarson, Johann; Agustsdottir, Freyja; Kanstrup, Marie; Singh, Laura; Hauksdottir, Arna; Halldorsdottir, Thorhildur; Gudmundsdottir, Berglind; Thordardottir, Edda Bjork; Valdimarsdottir, Unnur; Bjornsson, Andri; Department of Psychology
Background: There is a need for scalable and simple interventions for trauma-exposed people. In this case series, we built on our previous case study and case series findings and further explored the use and potential effectiveness of a brief novel intervention to reduce the number of past intrusive memories of trauma. The imagery competing task intervention consists of a memory reminder and the visuospatial task Tetris played with mental rotation, targeting 1 intrusive memory at a time. Here, we test remote delivery of the intervention, including guidance from researchers without specialist mental health training, in a sample of women in Iceland with current intrusive memories from trauma. Objective: In a case series of trauma-exposed women, we aimed to explore whether this brief novel intervention reduces the number of established intrusive memories (primary outcome) and improves general functioning and symptom reduction in posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety (secondary outcomes). The acceptability of the intervention along with adaptations, that is, delivery by psychology students without specialist mental health training and digital delivery, was explored. Methods: Participants (N=8) monitored the number of intrusive memories from an index trauma (occurring 3‐16 years previously) in a daily diary at baseline, during the intervention, and postintervention at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups. The intervention was delivered digitally with guidance from clinical psychologists or psychology students. A repeated AB design was used (“A”: preintervention baseline, “B”: intervention phase). Intrusions were targeted one by one, creating repetitions of an AB design (ie, length of baseline “A” and intervention “B” varied for each memory). Results: The number of intrusive memories reduced for all participants from the baseline phase compared with the intervention phase, although the reduction was minimal for 2 participants (6.3%‐93%). The number of intrusive memories continued to reduce for 6 out of 8 participants (58%‐100% reduction at 1-month follow-up; 72%‐100% reduction at 3-month follow-up). Symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety were reduced for most participants postintervention and continued to decrease during the follow-up periods. Functioning was improved for 7 of the 8 participants from baseline to postintervention and continued to improve at the follow-up assessments for 3 participants. The intervention delivered digitally and partly by students was perceived to be an acceptable way to reduce the frequency of intrusive memories by all participants (mean rating 9.5 out of 10). Conclusions: Data from this case series of traumatized women provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of this novel brief intervention in reducing intrusive memories of trauma occurring several years ago and in improving functioning and reducing core symptom burden. This study will inform a randomized controlled trial of this novel intervention, which may have considerable implications for large-scale clinical management of traumatized populations.

From Organizational Resilience Capability to Firm Performance : A Time-Lagged Investigation
(2026-03-08) Chang, Yi Ying; Durst, Susanne; Hughes, Mathew; Kraus, Sascha; Clauss, Thomas; Chang, Che Yuan; Department of Business and Economics
An organizational resilience capability is essential for firms to adapt in an ever-changing world characterized by diverse crises and adversities. However, the mechanisms and contingencies needed to harness and channel organizational resilience capability remain uncertain. This article argues that this resilience capability, proactively developed in calmer times, only becomes apparent in a crisis, but its effectiveness relies on additional organizational capabilities around innovation and human resources. Using data from a sample of large Taiwanese firms collected in two waves during and after a crisis, we show how incremental and radical innovative capabilities mediate the relationship between a proactively developed organizational resilience capability and firm performance. Furthermore, we demonstrate the role of strategic human resource management practices in fostering and regulating this relationship and the functioning of innovative capabilities. Based on these findings, we provide implications for theory and practice.
