Summary: Researchers have shown great interest in the creation of rehabilitation programs using mixed reality (MR), but there are still many unanswered questions. Meta-analysis and systematic literature review indicate that MR rehabilitation (MRR) programs significantly improve users' outcomes and are more effective than alternative rehabilitation programs. However, current research is still in the early stage and further development and improvement of study designs are needed.

Summary: This study investigates an alternative input method for virtual reality by incorporating a real-world object with augmented virtuality. A mobile phone is used as the real-world object and imported into the virtual environment to evaluate its potential as an input device. By overlaying the real texture of the phone and the user's hand onto a virtual scene in real-time using external cameras, the study aims to provide VR users with more flexibility in input methods and reduce the physical barrier between the reality and virtual environment.

Summary: Past research has shown that leveraging humans and animals as social support figures can enhance performance and reduce stress. Dogs have been found to be more effective than humans in this aspect. However, various circumstances may limit the opportunities for receiving support from actual animals, leading to the need for alternative approaches. This study explores the potential of using augmented reality virtual dogs as social support figures. The results indicate that participants significantly preferred and evaluated the virtual dog support figure more positively compared to other conditions. The findings also suggest that virtual dogs can provide social support in stressful situations where real support figures are unavailable.

Summary: This study examines the double-edged sword effect of enterprise social media (ESM) by investigating the impact of ESM technostressors on hospitality employees' post-adoption behaviors. Findings suggest that persistence, work connectivity, and visibility of ESM promote routine use and innovative use behaviors, while role conflict and emotion interruption of ESM negatively influence routine use. Management support can mitigate the negative impacts of ESM technostressors.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of nostalgic advertising and perceived destination types on tourists through four experiments. The results show that destination nostalgic advertising is more likely to evoke tourists' history sense and trigger visit intention, while destination non-nostalgic advertising is more likely to evoke tourists' fashion sense and enhance visit intention. Furthermore, the perceived destination type plays a moderating role in these effects, with nostalgic advertising in utilitarian destinations being more effective in evoking history sense, and non-nostalgic advertising in hedonic destinations being more effective in enhancing fashion sense.

Summary: The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of solidarity actions on hotel and restaurant firms' market value after the invasion of Ukraine. The study examined press releases and corporate websites of 117 companies to determine the actions taken in response to the Russian invasion. Using an event study methodology, cumulative abnormal returns were calculated. The findings suggest that companies that took early actions benefited the most, and middle-point intensity actions had the greatest impact on market value.

Summary: This study examines the individual absorptive capacity (ACAP) in a tour guiding company based on a platform economy. In such companies, guides are not employees but freelancers who sell their services to the company. The study aims to explore the knowledge-sharing dynamics between lower company management and guides, and identifies five specific categories of micro-foundations that influence these processes. The findings provide recommendations on improving ACAP processes in similar companies.

Summary: This study examined the emotional and behavioral responses of respondents to video treatments that presented different outcomes for coral reef health. The findings showed that videos with equal proportions of threat and reassurance stimulated higher arousal, leading to increased intent to donate for coral reef restoration. The presence of higher proportions of threat in video messaging also induced negative affectivity, which was associated with higher stated donations. Respondents who had taken vacations in coral reef destinations were more aroused by the videos and stated higher donations compared to those who had not. The emotional responses to fear-appeal videos were influenced by PMT antecedents such as threat-appraisal, coping-appraisal, and response-costs.

Summary: This article examines the challenges faced by the UK's tourism and hospitality industries, which have the highest concentration of migrant workers compared to other industries, in managing the risks of labor exploitation and modern slavery. The study identifies power imbalances, possible enforcement gaps, the normalization and moralization of exploitation, and macro-level political and socioeconomic issues/events as drivers of these risks. The research contributes significant theoretical insights and proposes the concept of the "(in)conspicuous exploitariat" to capture the empowerment, or lack thereof, and potential future risks/opportunities.

Summary: This study investigates the interplay effects of temporal distance and post type on tourists' attitude strength changes and decision-making processes. The findings reveal that the effect of DGC on tourists' attitude changes is contextual, and DGC is less influential on tourists' decision-making processes when they have a near travel plan than a distant one. This study emphasizes that DMOs should invest in DGC only in specific contexts.
