Purpose
There is a need to identify the diversity and gaps in the educational and practice systems to better understand how to improve paediatric occupational therapy education and ongoing mentorship worldwide. This quantitative research aims to examine paediatric occupational therapy education from academics and clinicians through two separate surveys.

Design/methodology/approach
An educational survey was sent to the World Federation of Occupational Therapy (WFOT)-approved programs in 78 countries to quantify educational and training hours provided in the paediatric field. An additional clinician survey was sent to occupational therapists to learn about their perspective on paediatric practice and continuing education.

Findings
The educational survey results from 56 WFOT programs in 32 countries indicated that the total percentage of academic curriculum specific to paediatric content was on average five percent. A four-year bachelor (n = 32) was the most prevalent entry level to the profession. Most of programs also indicated that more than 50% of occupational therapists in their respective countries work in paediatrics. The clinician survey (n = 141) had responses from 32 countries, with the majority working full time in paediatrics (n = 103, 72.5%). These results are consistent with the 2021 WFOT Education Survey.

Originality/value
From the clinician survey, paediatric feeding (70% of respondents) was the most requested area of continuing education, followed by transitions and positioning for play for children birth to three (18% of respondents). This will help guide future efforts for providing education and mentorship. As a result of both surveys, it was confirmed that more than half of occupational therapists are practicing in paediatrics across the globe. In response, academic curriculums should reflect the current practice trend; however, paediatric-specific education is relatively low.

Authors: Bimo Irenius Dwinanto , Sulistyaningsih Endang , Inderawati Maria Magdalena Wahyuni 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine the nature and trends in sustainability education and climate change (SECC) in higher education using a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature indexed in the Scopus database.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were extracted from the Scopus database using the keywords “sustainability education” and “climate change” to ensure extensive coverage. Total 14,465 research papers on both topics were analyzed using the VOSviewer software.

Findings
The bibliometric analysis reveals the mapping of scientific research across countries and the cooccurrence of research keywords, providing insights into research trends and future directions in SECC in higher education.

Practical implications
Based on the thematic map created to highlight future research directions on curricula for SECC in higher education, the analysis has identified several potential research areas, such as interdisciplinary research, transformative education, carbon footprint, students and higher education community well-being, climate change mitigation curriculum and behavioral studies.

Originality/value
This analysis offers epistemological foundations for generating knowledge and advancing curricula for SECC in higher education institutions.
Dividend policies surrounding CEO turnover
Authors: Alderman Jillian , Forsyth Joetta , Griffy-Brown Charla , Walton Richard 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study explores the relationship between US public firms’ dividend policies and CEO selection. Specifically, we examine the association between successor CEOs’ prior employment and firms’ payout policies around CEO turnover events.Design/methodology/approachUsing Execucomp, we identify a sample of 1,021 S&P 1500 firms with CEO turnover events occurring from 2010 to 2016. We categorize successor CEOs by their prior position as a public insider (hired internally from the public firm), public outsider (hired from a different public firm) or private outsider (hired from a private firm). We investigate dividend policies around CEO turnovers using differences-in-means and probit analyses.FindingsFirms that hired private CEOs were 11.0% less likely to have paid a dividend in the year prior to the CEO turnover. However, those firms that had paid a dividend in the prior year were 5.4% more likely to subsequently drop their dividend. This finding supports a distinct effect that is related to the successor CEOs’ prior experience managing private firms, rather than an “outsider” effect: payout policies of firms that hired public outsiders were no different from those that hired public insiders.Originality/valueWe show that public firms that hire private CEOs tend to have dividend policies similar to those of private firms. This evidence suggests that human capital developed at private firms is applied when CEOs transfer to public firms. We show that outsiders from public firms behave differently from outsiders from private firms, and we are the first to measure the frequency of each kind of CEO successor: public insiders, public outsiders and private outsiders. These findings suggest a method to indirectly study private firms using more readily available data from public firms led by private CEOs.
From slogans to actions: How does social media marketing and collectivism drive green consumption behaviour?
Authors: Zhang Yanyan , Cham Tat-Huei 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence customers’ green consumption intention by integrating social cognitive theory (SCT) and the cognitive affective conative (CAC) framework.Design/methodology/approachSurvey questionnaire was employed to collect data. Then, this study adopts artificial neural network (ANN) to check the robustness of partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) empirical results.FindingsThe findings confirm that social media marketing and collectivism are potent external stimuli to promote green consumption intention. Significant variables identified in the PLS-SEM analysis were used for ANN models, demonstrating the robustness of the PLS-SEM findings.Originality/valueThe primary theoretical contribution lies in the application of SCT theory and the CAC framework in the context of green consumption, an area that has been relatively underexplored in previous studies. Additionally, the study provides managerial implications for marketers by emphasising the significance of social media marketing and collectivism in influencing consumers’ cognition and affect.
Mission drift or simply failure? A cross-country pursuit of why social enterprises run by religious women in the Catholic Church tend to fail
Authors: Njiraini Nancy , Ndunge Angela , Mathuva David 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Despite social ministries and enterprises by Catholic sisters being established under stable foundation and for several years, there have been cases of failures or stalled projects. The purpose of this study was to examine whether this phenomenon is simply failure or a case of mission drift.

Design/methodology/approach
To achieve this objective, primary data drawn from four African countries, 59 congregations and 172 respondents were subjected to a mixed methods approach to find out what explained this failure. The 172 respondents were drawn from a set of congregational leaders.

Findings
The findings revealed some level of inactive projects largely in farming and agricultural production. The authors found that the identified 19 causes of social enterprise failures emanated both from internal, commercially driven to external, pro-social reasons.

Research limitations/implications
The findings of the study revealed the need to strategically review the utilisation of the resources at the disposal of the congregations. Capacity building, proper succession planning and setting the right tone at the top were critical imperatives congregational leaders need to pay attention to minimise project failures and mission drift. Finally, the study called for innovative funding models together with a change in mindset about the sustainability of the social enterprises.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is perhaps the first to focus on social enterprises run by Catholic sisters with a view towards establishing why they tend to fail.
Generational Renewal and Farm Succession: Insights from Ireland
Authors: Loughrey Jason , Shin Mika , Dillon Emma , Kinsella Anne 
Published: December 2024

SummaryWe use Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) data to establish a better understanding about the age profile of people engaged in farming in Ireland and the related issue of farm succession. Insights are drawn from related research on the potential for farm partnerships to assist in improving generational renewal. The findings from the Teagasc NFS indicate a more complex relationship between economic performance and farm succession than is typically portrayed in the economic literature. The results indicate that in the non‐dairy cattle system, the proportion of farm operators with an identified successor is lower for viable farms relative to non‐viable farms and lower relative to viable farms in other farming systems. Cluster analysis of a sample of dairy farms indicates that the presence of young people in the household is just as important as farm economic viability in determining whether or not a farm successor is identified. The Teagasc NFS analysis indicates that many farms have young people contributing in terms of labour but delayed succession means fewer young farmers taking the role of farm manager. There is scope to increase the use of Farm Partnerships as pathways for younger farmers to progress from contributing labour on the farm to taking on a management role in the farm.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTManaging infections caused by multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacilli is a major public health concern, particularly in hospitals where surfaces can act as reservoirs for resistant microorganisms. Identifying these bacteria in hospital environments is crucial for improving healthcare safety. This study aimed to analyse environmental samples from a veterinary hospital to identify prevalent microorganisms and detect antimicrobial resistance patterns. A total of 183 surface samples were collected from 26 areas at the Veterinary Clinical Hospital of Alfonso X el Sabio University in Madrid. The isolated strains were identified, and susceptibility profiles were determined via the disk diffusion method. Clonality analysis was performed using pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis. In total, 109 strains were isolated: 76.15% from the Enterobacteriaceae family and 23.85% non‐fermenting Gram‐negative bacilli. The isolates included Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Escherichia and Pseudomonas species, which could include high‐risk clones, given their ability to carry several antimicrobial resistance genes. The equine area had the highest number of isolates (n = 71), accounting for 65% of the total. High resistance indices were observed against at least five of the 16 antibiotics tested, indicating significant multidrug resistance. Clonality analysis suggested potential cross‐transmission within the facility. This study sampled hospital surfaces but not personnel or animals, making contamination sources unclear. Without resampling, the effectiveness of cleaning protocols remains uncertain. Results suggest that hospital staff play a key role in bacterial transmission. The lack of specialised preventive measures in veterinary hospitals highlights a need for further research and improvement.
Persistent urticarial eruption preceding systemic features of adult‐onset Still's disease: A case report
Authors: Kaur Amreeta , Bavanendrakumar Mathuja , Oon Shereen , Veysey Emma 
Published: December 2024

AbstractAdult‐onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare autoinflammatory systemic disorder classically characterised by inflammatory polyarthritis, daily fevers and a transient asymptomatic salmon‐pink maculopapular rash that typically arises with the onset of fevers. We report a case of AOSD presenting with a severely pruritic urticarial eruption starting 6 weeks prior to the onset of fever and arthritis and complicated by macrophage activation syndrome. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of diverse cutaneous manifestations of AOSD to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment to improve disease outcomes.
Xs we share: Context similarity, culture, and the diffusion of populism

Published: December 2024

AbstractDo populist ideas travel across borders? Anecdotal evidence suggests as much, yet so far we lack a systematic assessment of whether diffusion takes place, and if so under which conditions. We argue that context similarity enables the diffusion of populism among parties as it eases the adaption of populist framing of perceived grievances into the local context. Using a dyadic approach, we analyze diffusion effects among 923 parties in 67 countries from 1970 to 2018. We find that similar levels of political and economic exclusion foster learning from and emulating other parties abroad. We also uncover conditional effects for learning from other parties facing similar levels of income inequality or public sector corruption that hinge on a cultural prescreening. Combined, our results have important implications for a better understanding of diffusion processes in general and the spread of populist ideas around the globe in particular.

AbstractBackgroundTesticular germ cell tumors are the most common solid malignancies in young men, with increasing incidence worldwide. Broadly classified into seminomas and non‐seminomas, they exhibit distinct biological behaviors and responses to treatment. Although metabolic reprogramming is an acknowledged cancer hallmark, metabolic pathways in testicular germ cell tumors remain poorly understood.ObjectivesThis study investigates the differential expression of metabolic markers (GLUT‐1, MCT1, MCT4, LDHA, HIF‐1α) and the epigenetic enzyme KDM3A across various testicular germ cell tumor subtypes, aiming to understand how glycolytic metabolism is related to each histotype and how it may impact tumor aggressiveness, correlating with patient outcomes.Materials and methodsThe study involved 111 testicular germ cell tumor individual tumor components from 90 patients diagnosed and treated at a comprehensive cancer center. Immunohistochemistry was used to ascertain biomarker expression, with a combined score of percentage of stained tumor cells and intensity of staining. In silico analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas database was performed for additional validation, using cBioPortal. Statistical analyses included Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis, and anova tests, with significance set at p < 0.05.ResultsSignificant differences in the expression of metabolic markers across testicular germ cell tumor subtypes were disclosed. Embryonal carcinomas showed significantly higher expression of glycolytic markers (GLUT‐1, MCT1, MCT4, LDHA) compared to other histotypes, suggesting heightened glycolytic activity. KDM3A depicted an inverse pattern, being significantly more expressed in seminomas. HIF‐1α expression was generally low across all histological subtypes. Testicular germ cell tumors with necrosis showed higher expression of the metabolic players investigated.Discussion and conclusionWe highlighted distinct metabolic profiles among testicular germ cell tumor subtypes, particularly the prominent glycolytic activity in embryonal carcinomas, with higher hypoxia and reliance on lactate transport. Metabolic reprogramming in embryonal carcinoma may underlie the high proliferation of this tumor subtype, which frequently discloses necrosis. These findings suggest that targeted agents such as MCT1 inhibitors may be particularly useful for treating testicular germ cell tumors containing high proportion of embryonal carcinoma.

ABSTRACTIntroductionRegional disparities in medical practice between urban and rural areas in Japan represent a critical issue, and extend to the field of surgical education. To address these disparities, we evaluated the effectiveness of simultaneous remote coaching across multiple facilities using a standardized laparoscopic training method.MethodsA total of 28 trainees from a university hospital and 3 rural hospitals were categorized into remote and on‐site coaching groups. The training curriculum included lectures, practical training, and assessments, conducted for 1 h per week using three sessions. The primary endpoint of the study was the change in time for ligation of one suture between the on‐site and remote coaching groups, expressed as the median of the reduction suture time rate (RTR). Secondary endpoints included the RTR categorized by years of graduation and the results of a questionnaire survey of participants.ResultsParticipants included 19 trainees in postgraduate year (PGY) 1–2 and 9 those in PGY 3–5. The median suture ligation time for the first attempt was 145 s (remote: 136 s vs. on‐site: 160 s; p = 0.33) and that for the third attempt was 51 s (remote: 33 s vs. direct: 52 s; p = 0.91). The median RTR was 57%, with no significant difference observed between the remote and on‐site coaching groups (43.2% vs. 71.2%, p = 0.26). The trainees' ratings for the training were generally favorable, with median ratings of 4 (range: 3–5) for the content of practical skills and 5 (4, 5) for the distance learning aspect, based on a 5‐point Likert scale.ConclusionSimultaneous remote laparoscopic training could be effective in reducing disparities in surgical education.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundMelioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an important disease that is endemic in areas of northern Australia and can cause a wide range of clinical signs in people and animals. There is limited published data on the disease in marsupials.Case reportTwo captive red‐legged pademelons (Thylogale stigmatica) with collective signs of lethargy, dysphagia and bloody oral discharge were submitted for necropsy and showed variations in pathology findings ranging from multifocal abscessation in various tissues to evidence of fulminant septicaemia. In both cases Burkholderia pseudomallei was confirmed by bacterial culture and qPCR.ConclusionThis report details the first report of melioidosis in captive red‐legged pademelons (Thylogale stigmatica) and describes the variations in clinical signs and pathological findings that were encountered with the disease. More research is needed to better understand melioidosis in marsupials to aid clinicians in making a prompt diagnosis.
Safety of BI 1358894 in patients with major depressive disorder: Results and learnings from a phase II randomized decentralized clinical trial

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe feasibility of conducting a fully remote, interventional, phase II decentralized clinical trial (DCT) was investigated in major depressive disorder (MDD). Key learnings were collated to improve future DCTs. A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group, DCT enrolled adult MDD patients with inadequate response to first‐line antidepressant monotherapy (ongoing ≥8 weeks) and a Montgomery‐Åsberg Depression Rating Scale total score (MADRS) ≥22 at screening. Patients were randomized 1:1 to BI 1358894 125 mg or placebo daily for 6 weeks remotely. Safety parameters, primary end point (change from baseline in MADRS at Week 6), and patient experience were assessed. The DCT was considered feasible if the trial protocol could be successfully executed. Overall, DCT procedures were successfully executed per protocol. However, despite achieving a vast patient outreach, the trial was terminated early due to deficient enrollment. Of the 136 patients who consented for enrollment and underwent screening, 45 were randomized and 43 received treatment (BI 1358894, n = 20; placebo, n = 23); 97.7% of patients completed the trial. Patients had a mean (SD) age of 42.2 (13.1) years and most (83.7%) were female. Adverse events were reported by 86.0% of patients (BI 1358894, 90.0%; placebo, 82.6%). Most patients (88%) reported a positive experience with the DCT. Key learnings related to the impact of stringent eligibility criteria, recruitment optimization strategies, plus the benefits and limitations of digital technologies. A fully remote, interventional DCT was feasible in MDD, and was well perceived by trial participants. Learnings related to recruitment optimization and trial design should be considered for future interventional DCTs.
