Published: February 2025

PurposeThrough the lens of the information systems success model, self-determination theory, and TAM2, this study proposes and tests an integrative model to investigate students’ satisfaction with the use of e-learning systems in higher education institutions in a developing country context.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a quantitative approach. Based on data collected from a sample of 185 students, the study used partial least squares-structural equation modeling to investigate and test the model’s hypothesized relationships.FindingsThis study revealed that gamification significantly influences behavioral intention and learning engagement. Also, our study suggests that behavioral intention significantly influences learning engagement and students’ actual use of e-learning systems. In addition, our study revealed that learning engagement significantly influences students’ satisfaction.Originality/valueThis study contributes theoretically and practically by proposing an integrative model to investigate the antecedents to students’ satisfaction in the context of developing countries. In addition, this study extends the research stream of gamification and perceived security within the e-learning context in developing countries.
Investigating the effect of perforation geometry on the residual stress and mechanical behavior of 3D-printed honeycomb structure
Authors: Nazari Farshad , Abedi Afshin 
Published: February 2025

PurposeIn this research, experimental and numerical methods were used to study the effect of pore geometry on residual stress and mechanical behavior of 3D-printed parts. In this regard, samples with circular, rhombic and hexagonal pore geometries were printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM), and their residual stress was measured through the mechanical strain release method. The finite-element method (FEM) was utilized to study the strength and natural frequency of the samples.Design/methodology/approachAs a modern method of part manufacturing and repair, 3D printing has been highly regarded in industrial arenas for its ability to offer high precision without the need for different dies. Porosity has been studied as a solution for reducing weight in structures, and its effect on the mechanical behavior of a structure depends on the loading conditions and applications.FindingsThe results of the investigation showed that the rhombic pore geometry had the highest residual stress, while the sample with circular pores exhibited the lowest residual stress. Stress distribution and modal analyses indicated that the sample with rhombic pore geometry had the lowest displacement coupled with the highest strength and natural frequency. However, considering the total of external load-induced stress and residual stresses, the sample with hexagonal pore geometry outperformed the other samples and showed the longest fatigue life.Originality/valueAccording to the literature review, residual stress is one of the key factors influencing the performance of 3D-printed parts. However, the effects of pore geometry on residual stress and structural strength in 3D-printed components remain underexplored. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of hexagonal, rhombic and circular pore geometries on residual stress and structural strength through both experimental and numerical analyses.
Corruption, economic globalisation, and resistance: Insights from the Philippine rice industry
Authors: Walton Grant W. , Espiritu‐Amador Shanice , Deinla Imelda 
Published: February 2025

AbstractScholars have shown that narratives of corruption can both intensify economic globalisation and fuel resistance to it. However, little research has been done on how policy debates are framed by people with competing perspectives on corruption. This article draws on interviews with key stakeholders to highlight how narratives of corruption have framed debates about policy reform in the Philippine rice industry. Respondents whose views reflect an economic perspective that promotes market mechanisms to address corruption justified a law designed to deregulate the rice market. Their actions were a panacea to the growing power of cartels illegally and often corruptly importing rice into the country. Respondents whose views reflect a critical perspective argued that this law would only bolster cartel power and that other policy solutions such as land reform and self‐sufficiency would reduce corruption and other injustices. Our analysis reveals how those debates informed deregulation of the Philippine rice sector and resulted in a Rice Tariffication Law in 2019. In the process, we reveal how competing perspectives on corruption and associated narratives are ideologically deployed to shape policy reforms that expand economic globalisation and benefit some groups, such as consumers, at the expense of others, particularly small‐scale farmers.

Published: February 2025

AbstractAimTo identify and achieve expert consensus on the most important and feasible strategies to implement digital health services for nutrition care management of chronic conditions in outpatient settings.MethodsDeterminants and strategies for implementing digital health services for nutrition care management were identified in line with the literature and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. These were presented to team leaders and senior clinicians, as well as dietetic and allied health directors in a two‐round e‐Delphi process. Consensus was reached when strategies were rated very important/feasible by at least 75% of respondents, calculated by the median, interquartile range and frequency. Following the two survey rounds, a final prioritisation survey was distributed to participants, where participants were asked to prioritise their top strategy for each determinant, which was analysed by frequency calculations.ResultsTwenty participants participated in round one of the survey and 18 completed the final prioritisation round. Following the two rounds, 3 strategies did not meet consensus for importance and 7 strategies did not meet consensus for feasibility out of 25 strategies presented. Nine strategies were prioritised following the survey rounds. Key concepts of the strategies that met consensus and were prioritised related to (i) adhering to quality of care with effective evaluation processes; (ii) providing options for digital health upskilling and support; and (iii) individualising patient care.ConclusionTeam leaders and senior clinicians as well as dietetic and allied health directors have indicated that there are many important digital health strategies yet not all are feasible to implement within current resourcing and systems.

ABSTRACTThe study of animals’ activity and behavior in the wild is an extremely challenging task. Although tri‐axial accelerometers are invaluable for behavioral analyses, their use is more frequent in large charismatic endotherms with limited application in ectotherms. The scarce utilization of this methodology on small‐size reptiles is focused on animals’ activity and energetics, showing few records of rapid displays and behavior signals. Here, we present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our proposed approach uses advanced technologies for the digitization, reconstruction and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth data through the video records; (iii) develop realistically accurate 3D avatars of the recorded movement for visualization purposes, and (iv) archive data on a Behavior Pattern Database. As case studies, we used two small Mediterranean reptiles, the lizard Laudakia cypriaca and the snake Dolichophis jugularis. Through our approach, we successfully recorded, ground‐truthed, and labeled for the first time, several detailed movements and behaviors of the two case study species. We developed an accurate digital overview of those movements using motion capture and 3D animal reconstruction. Finally, we structured a database for archiving all behavioral data and demonstrated how those archives can be used for advancing behavioral research, providing ecological insights into this animal group. Our approach can enhance research on reptiles’ behavior by contributing to the analysis of complex or isolated behaviors, poorly studied, such as signals and social interactions, providing valuable insights and assisting behavioral analysis.
Patient experience with quality‐of‐life questionnaires for obstructive salivary gland disorders: a cross‐sectional study
Authors: Boogaard Saskia , Basheeth Naveed 
Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundDisease severity and treatment efficacy in salivary gland disorders can be gauged through quality‐of‐life (QoL) questionnaires. However, limited research has explored patient experience with these questionnaires. This cross‐sectional study assessed the usability of, and patient experience with, six validated QoL questionnaires.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study assessed the usability of and patient experience with the QoL‐15D, Oral Health Impact Profile‐14, Manukau Salivary Symptom Score, Chronic Obstructive Sialadenitis Symptoms, Multidisciplinary Salivary Gland Society, and Glasgow Benefit Index questionnaires. We measured the time to complete each questionnaire, patient‐perceived questionnaire coverage of symptoms and disease impact using a 5‐point Likert scale, patient experience with the questionnaires through open feedback, and which questionnaire patients most preferred. There were 30 participants in this study.ResultsAll questionnaires tested could be completed in under 5 min each. The most preferred questionnaire was the Manukau Salivary Symptom Score (43%). Participants raised the following concerns regarding the questionnaires: unclear timeframes (90%), questions not being relevant (67%), initial questions not addressing their primary symptoms (40%), confusing or unclear question wording (37%), inconsistent response scale between questions (27%), and antibiotic use during flare‐ups assuming access to primary medical care (7%).ConclusionNo previous study has measured and analysed patient experience with the currently validated QoL questionnaires used in salivary gland disorders. This study's findings can be used to inform both questionnaire selection as well as the development of future QoL questionnaires for salivary gland disorders in order to achieve a better overall patient experience and reduce unintentional bias.
Up Against the Wall: Disorganising and Silencing Political Blackness in Portugal
Authors: Alves Ana Rita 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis article examines antiblackness in Portugal as a manifestation of its global dimensions, focusing on the interplay between race, space, law, and the political. Resulting from empirical and archival research as well as socio‐legal accompaniment of individuals and families in cases involving police brutality over the last decade in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Portugal), the article investigates the role played by the criminal justice system in endorsing institutional racism and silencing/sanctioning (extra)legal state violence. First, it focuses on public housing and security policies as political devices in criminalising and managing political blackness, through displacement, place annihilation, and law enforcement. Further, the article analyses three paradigmatic court cases involving police brutality to explore how the criminal justice system has been the ultimate institution sanctioning white innocence by managing accountability for black victimisation, leaving Black people "little space to breathe" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiltKebm2Jg).

ABSTRACTBackgroundCurative surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) includes liver resection (LR) and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Due to the obesity epidemic, metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a frequent HCC aetiology that often coincides with increased alcohol consumption, termed MetALD, or even alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD).MethodsPatients undergoing LR or OLT for HCC at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin (2010–2020) were included in this retrospective cohort study investigating disease aetiology, time to recurrence (TTR), overall survival (OS) and CT‐based body composition.ResultsOut of 579 patients with HCC, 417 underwent LR and 162 OLT. Tumour aetiologies were viral n = 191 (33.0%), MASLD n = 158 (27.3%), MetALD n = 51 (8.8%), ALD n = 68 (11.7%) and other/cryptogenic n = 111 (19.2%). Patients with MASLD and MetALD had more intramuscular (p < 0.001, p = 0.015) and visceral fat (both p < 0.001) than patients with non‐metabolic dysfunction aetiologies. Patients with MASLD‐HCC had comparable TTR (median 26 months, [95% CI: 23–31] vs. 30 months [95% CI: 4–57], p = 0.425) but shorter OS than patients with other HCC aetiologies (63 months [95% CI: 42–84] vs. 80 months [95% CI: 60–100], hazard ratio: 1.53 [95% CI: 1.050–2.229], p = 0.026) after LR. Multivariate analysis confirmed MASLD aetiology, portal vein thrombosis and MELD score ≥ 10 as independent prognostic factors for OS in LR (adjusted p = 0.021,p < 0.001,p = 0.003), even after excluding in‐hospital mortality (adjusted p = 0.016,p = 0.002,p = 0.002). Causes of death were similar in MASLD and non‐MASLD aetiology.ConclusionsPatients with HCC undergoing LR and meeting the new MASLD criteria have significantly shorter OS. This study provides empirical prognostic evidence for the novel MASLD/MetALD classification in a large European cohort of patients undergoing curative‐intent HCC therapy.
Training Future Managers About Sustainability With Retrospective Analysis: The Role of Reflexivity
Authors: Djedidi Amina 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWhile public discourse emphasizes the social role of businesses, a gap remains between the theory and practice observed in corporate strategies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the UN 2030 Agenda. Many studies have pointed to the lack of research on uncommon teaching methodologies to develop reflexivity and critical thinking in future managers as a meta knowledge being more inclusive of SDGs in the future. This gap causes educators and researchers in the marketing management field to continuously question the adequacy of current teaching methodologies. This paper uses new lenses to address this gap. Using reflexivity model in case studies and relating it to bounded agency, this paper aims to explore how adopting reflexivity in higher education programs in the fields of business and marketing prepares future managers to embrace SDGs. The results underline the importance of the educator as a facilitator, as well as the student's engagement in: semi‐structured reflexivity, decontextualization, recontextualization, deconstruction as a path to a mindset involving SDGs and awareness of contexts, paradigms, and meta analytic dimensions. Practical implications around pedagogy depict practices to be adopted in order to facilitate, develop, and diffuse SDG‐related reflexivity and critical thinking with a long‐term strategic ambition to make sustainability development an “ordinary” business paradigm.
Judging Firms' Unethical Behaviors: Does Cultural Similarity Matter?
Authors: Meriane Youcef , Dib‐Slamani Hind , Jabeur Sami Ben 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTDo people mete out harsher punishments for identical unethical behaviors committed by foreign compared to domestic firms? Liability of foreignness (LOF) reasoning suggests that this is the case. Using a quasi‐experimental survey in France, we go a step further by investigating the influence of cultural similarity on ethical judgment. We examine whether people mete out less harsh judgment on a foreign company from a culturally similar country compared to a foreign company from a culturally dissimilar country. Our findings show that cultural similarity does not have a significant impact. Moreover, in the French context, the findings show that punishment for unethical behavior meted out to domestic and foreign firms relates more to cultural characteristics and does not apply in the same way for all dimensions of corporate social responsibility. Thus, we discuss various strategies and managerial implications.
Parental reflective functioning and internalizing symptoms predict altruistic prosocial behaviour in children

Published: February 2025

AbstractMental health has a profound impact on how we interact with the world. How it shapes prosocial behaviour during middle childhood, a period crucial for establishing healthy relationships, remains poorly understood. Moreover, whilst child mental health and prosocial behaviour are influenced by caregiving experience more broadly, less is known about how they are shaped by parental reflective functioning (PRF), that is parents' capacity to represent their child's underlying mental states. A longitudinal design, with assessments at baseline and 1 year follow‐up, was used with 233 children (111 boys; 6–13 years old; 54.9% White, 17.2% Asian, 2.58% Black, 14.2% Multiple ethnic groups, 2.58% Other, 8.58% data unavailable). Using path modelling, we examined interrelations between baseline PRF, baseline child internalizing symptoms, and follow‐up child altruistic prosocial behaviour. At baseline, PRF was associated with child internalizing symptoms, whilst PRF and internalizing symptoms positively predicted altruistic behaviour 1 year later. These findings suggest that mental health and caregiving experience are key influences on altruistic behaviour in childhood.
Revisiting Quebec's Quiet Revolution: A synthetic control analysis
Authors: Geloso Vincent , Reilly Chandler S. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe year 1960 is often presented as a break year in the economic history of Quebec and Canada. It is used to mark the beginning of the “Quiet Revolution” during which Canada's French‐speaking province of Quebec underwent rapid socio‐economic change in the form of rapid economic convergence with the rest of Canada and the emergence of a more expansive state (more so than in the rest of Canada). Using synthetic control methods, we analyze whether 1960 is associated with a departure from previous developments. With regards to GDP per capita, GDP per worker, household‐size adjusted income, real wages and enrolment rates in primary and secondary schools, we find that 1960 was not an important date. For all macroeconomic indicators and enrolment rates, the counterfactual scenarios do not significantly differ from the actual data. For life expectancy at birth and completed schooling outcomes by schooling cohorts, we find that 1960 did mark a significant departure—albeit a modest one. We also find signs that size of government changed markedly after 1960. Shifting to other methods such as panel approach or time series strategy do not alter these results.
Neural Oscillations in the Somatosensory and Motor Cortex Distinguish Dexmedetomidine‐Induced Anesthesia and Sleep in Rats
Authors: Ge Dengyun , Han Chuanliang , Liu Chang , Meng Zhiqiang 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundAnesthesia is featured by behavioral and physiological characteristics such as decreased sensory and motor function, loss of consciousness, etc. Some anesthetics such as dexmedetomidine (DEX), induce electroencephalogram signatures close to non‐rapid eye movement sleep. Studies have shown that sleep is primarily driven by the activation of subcortical sleep‐promoting neural pathways.AimsHowever, the neuronal level electrophysiology features of anesthesia and how they differ from sleep is still not fully understood.Materials and MethodsIn the present study, we recorded neuronal activity simultaneously from somatosensory cortex (S1) and motor cortex (M1) during awake, sleep, and DEX‐induced anesthesia in rats.ResultsThe results show that DEX increased local field potential (LFP) power across a relatively wide band (1–25 Hz) in both S1 and M1. The coherence between S1 LFP and M1 LFP increased significantly in the delta and alpha bands. Power spectrum analysis during DEX‐induced anesthesia revealed relatively high power in the delta and alpha bands, but low power in the theta and beta bands. Overall, the firing rate of individual neurons decreased after DEX. Correlation analysis of firing rate and LFP power indicate that more neurons were correlated, either positively or negatively, with LFPs during DEX‐induced anesthesia compared to sleep.DiscussionAlthough these results showed enhancement of cortical LFP power in both DEX‐induced anesthesia and sleep, different patterns of spike‐field correlation suggest that the two states may be regulated by different cortical mechanisms.ConclusionDistinguishing anesthesia from sleep with neural oscillations could lead to more personalized, safer, and more effective approaches to managing consciousness in medical settings, with the potential for broad applications in neuroscience and clinical practice.
Rewilding and Indigenous Community‐Led Land Care
Authors: Derham Tristan T. , Mathews Freya , Johnson Christopher. N. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn the 1990s, pioneers of rewilding described a bold vision of wilderness connected at the continental scale, with thriving populations of large, wild animals. Much of the resulting discourse has emphasized uninhabited places or has promoted a “hands‐off” approach to environmental management. This clashes with many Indigenous (e.g., First Nations) perspectives and has made rewilding largely irrelevant to Indigenous communities, especially in colonized countries. Yet rewilding can support Indigenous community aspirations for sovereignty, health, and justice. Moreover, Indigenous communities and their traditional ecological knowledge are vital to conservation. We suggest two principles by which rewilding can align with, and support, Indigenous communities: shifting focus from wilderness to the creative agency of wild beings, and framing restoration as a collaborative endeavor between humans and wildlife. As an approach to conservation policy and practice, rewilding should seek opportunities to place Indigenous communities in leadership positions, in terms of both practical restoration and the conceptual reshaping of rewilding itself. We relate two case studies of Indigenous community‐led conservation which exemplify the potential of such an approach: the Buffalo Treaty in North America, and the Lungtalanana Cultural Restoration Project in southern Australia.
