Lenient return policies and religiosity: enhancing consumer confidence, well-being and intentions
Authors: Jamil Raja Ahmed , Khan Tariq Iqbal 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The post-pandemic era has shifted most industries, businesses and consumers online, increasing the demand for electronic devices, mainly laptops. Additionally, most non-Western countries inhabit highly religious but cash-strapped individuals, making them a potential market for second-hand laptops. With this in mind, this study aims to explore the effects of lenient return policy (LRP) and religiosity on consumer confidence in retailer (CCR), consumer well-being and purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper conducted a between-subjects field experiment comparing two return policy conditions (cash return vs. other return) with a sample of 222 participants. Data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesised relationships, and multigroup analysis (MGA) was employed to assess the experimental effects based on the return policy conditions. The moderating effects of religiosity were also examined. All analyses were conducted using SmartPLS software.

Findings
The results confirm that an LRP positively predicts consumer confidence in retailer, well-being and purchase intention. Religiosity had a moderating effect on LRP outcomes. Additionally, the experiment confirmed that consumers experienced better well-being and were more likely to purchase if offered full cashback.

Practical implications
Retailers of second-hand shopping products should offer LRP (full cashback) to foster consumer confidence, well-being and purchase intention. Additionally, for highly religious consumers, aligning return policies with religious principles should further enhance consumer well-being and purchase intention.

Originality/value
This study is among the earliest to investigate the impact of LRP on CCR and well-being. Moreover, a novel attempt is made to explore the moderating effects of religiosity on LRP outcomes. Likewise, a field experiment to validate the greater effects of cashback on consumer well-being and purchase intention adds to the novelty of this study.
The interplay of money laundering and terrorism financing in Saudi Arabia: a critical examination
Authors: Alhejaili Mohammad 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to critically analyse the evolving anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) framework in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the intersection of Shari’ah and international AML standards. The study explores Saudi Arabia’s efforts to combat money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF) within its global engagement, assessing the challenges and opportunities posed by emerging financial technologies and transnational financial crime.

Design/methodology/approach
The research uses a legal doctrinal analysis of Saudi Arabia’s AML/CTF laws, integrating a review of FATF reports, international guidelines and Shari’ah-compliant financial regulations. The study also evaluates Saudi Arabia’s participation in international AML/CTF cooperation efforts, drawing on case studies of the country’s involvement in global initiatives and bilateral agreements. In addition, the research examines policy recommendations and explores the role of new financial technologies, such as cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

Findings
Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in aligning its AML/CTF framework with global standards, particularly following its full membership in the FATF. However, challenges remain, especially in addressing vulnerabilities within non-financial sectors and regulating emerging financial technologies. The study finds that integrating Shari’ah into the country’s AML/CTF system enhances cultural and religious relevance while contributing to global compliance efforts. International cooperation and technology adoption are essential for staying ahead of evolving threats.

Originality/value
This study uniquely examines the interplay between Shari’ah and global AML standards in Saudi Arabia, offering insights into how religious principles coexist with international regulatory requirements. It also addresses the rising challenges of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, providing actionable policy recommendations for policymakers and financial institutions to enhance Saudi Arabia’s AML/CTF efforts. The research highlights Saudi Arabia’s role as a regional leader and global contributor to financial crime prevention.

Racket sociality: investigating intimidation in North India
Authors: Michelutti Lucia 
Published: December 2024

This article is an ethnographic investigation into acts of intimidation and threats. Theoretically, it dialogues with ‘racket’ – a key analytical term in the sociology of domination, state‐making, and mafias. The anthropology of power, violence, and crime has paid scant attention to the morphology of threats and the ways interpersonal intimidation intertwines with economic and political forms of coercion. Drawing on ethnographic insights from North India, the article examines the way (criminal) intimidation is normalized, consented to, and socially embedded in everyday life. It shows how racketeering is routinized beyond clandestine organized crime. Ultimately, ‘racket sociality’ is proposed as a new method of ethnographic inquiry into theorizing authority and legitimacy in an age of populist strongmen politics and predatory forms of capitalism.

Positive effect of erythromycin on ineffective oesophageal motility in laryngopharyngeal reflux patients: Room for a novel treatment?
Authors: Sime Fienne , Tovmassian David , Falk Gregory L. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractIntroductionLaryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) management guidelines are currently derived from the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) which has been shown to be poorly effective in controlling symptoms for these patients. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has been used extensively as a prokinetic agent for the gastrointestinal tract. The management of LPR with prokinetics is a novel therapy being investigated with regard to its effectiveness. The purpose of this pilot study was to observe the effect of erythromycin on oesophageal motility with high resolution manometry (HRM) to establish if further study is warranted regarding its utility in management.MethodsConsecutive patients were retrospectively identified from a prospectively maintained database at a single centre of patients with findings suggestive of LPR who had also undergone HRM. These patients all received lifestyle modification and erythromycin 250 mg BD with repeat HRM after 6 weeks of therapy.Results16 patients met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 56.2 ± 14.9. Mean ineffective swallows were 54.38% ± 41.3% compared with 34.4% ± 35.2% pre and post‐erythromycin therapy (p = 0.018). Mean distal contractile integral at baseline was 793.61 ± 854.96 mmHg at baseline increasing to 1347 ± 1094.73 mmHg after erythromycin therapy (p = 0.013). IRP also showed improvement from 8.99 ± 7.58 increasing to 10.93 ± 7.9 mmHg (p = 0.045). Subgroup analysis of patients with ineffective oesophageal motility reinforced above findings as well as increase in the amount of ‘normal’ peristalsis.ConclusionThis pilot study shows early evidence that erythromycin improves oesophageal motility. Further study is warranted to explore these findings in more detail.
Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania
Authors: Diekert Florian , Schaap Robbert‐Jan 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDoes exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences in Norway and Tanzania, but relatively strong evidence in Chile, where differences in risk exposure are most pronounced. Moreover, we make a first pass at disentangling selection from adaptation as potential mechanisms. For Tanzania and Norway, the data speaks for selection, while it speaks for adaptation in Chile.
Nietzsche and Schiller on Aesthetic Distance
Authors: Stoll Timothy 
Published: December 2024

AbstractA key contention of Nietzsche's philosophy is that art helps us affirm life. A common reading holds that it does so by paving over, concealing, or beautifying life's undesirable features. This interpretation is unsatisfactory for two main reasons: Nietzsche suggests that art should foreground what is ‘ugly’ about existence, and he sees thoroughgoing honesty about life's character as a requirement on genuine affirmation. The paper presents an alternative reading. According to this reading, artworks depicting something terrible give us a feeling of fearlessness or courage by enabling an extraordinary state of affective distance from their content. The value of art lies in the fact that the aesthetic state resembles and invites us to pursue a psychic condition Nietzsche valorises. In making this case, the paper reveals a surprising continuity between an important strand in nineteenth‐century aesthetic thought and contemporary distance theories of aesthetic engagement. It also casts new light on Nietzsche's famous criticisms of Kant's notion of disinterested aesthetic appreciation.
Impacts of Legacy and Contemporary Nitrogen Inputs on N2O and CO2 Emissions in Miscanthus and Maize Cultivated Soils
Authors: Lee Jaejin , Villanueva Paul , Glanville Kate , Vanloocke Andy , Yang Wendy H. , Kent Angela , McDaniel Marshall , Hall Steven J. , Howe Adina 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTNutrient inputs influence the sustainability of bioenergy crop production through contemporary (shortly after addition) and legacy effects (persisting over years) on microbial nitrogen (N) and carbon cycling, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. However, the relative importance of contemporary and legacy effects and how that could vary by crop functional types is poorly understood. Considering its rhizomatous roots and perennial growth, we hypothesized that Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g) would be more sensitive to legacy N fertilization and the historical context of its environment than an annual crop like maize. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of legacy and contemporary N inputs on nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as well as key N cycling genes in soils where M×g and maize were grown. A 150‐day soil incubation experiment was conducted using soils from a long‐term M×g and maize fertility experiment with three historic N fertilization rates (0, 112, and 336 kg N ha−1 year−1) and a contemporary amendment (60 mg N kg−1) with negative control (0 mg N kg−1). We observed significant increases in cumulative N2O emissions in Mxg soils relative to maize soils, particularly at higher legacy fertilization rates, while contemporary N had no significant effect. Bacterial amoA gene abundance, which plays a significant role in nitrification in nutrient‐rich soils, also increased with higher legacy fertilization rates in M×g soils but was unaffected by the contemporary N. In maize soils, legacy and contemporary N did not significantly affect N2O emissions, but cumulative CO2 emissions and amoA gene abundance significantly increased. The abundances of norB genes were not significantly influenced by either legacy fertilization or contemporary N amendments in either soil. Our findings demonstrate the greater importance of fertilization history over contemporary N in mediating soil N2O emissions, particularly for perennial bioenergy crops.
“I know I'm not going to have to heal from this”: Women university workers' collective writing on “office housework” as a space for building collective care, healing, and hope

Published: December 2024

AbstractHow can we, as women university workers, assert collective writing as a form of resistance to embody our collective and individual struggles and convert them into words? We are a collective of five professional service and three academic women workers who came together to answer this question through writing about our performance of office housework and the gendered invisibility we experienced. We share our collective writing practices as a methodology to create connections and healing between workers divided along neoliberal and patriarchal university structures. Our work offers feminist epistemic resistance through the intentional joining of women university workers as co‐producers of knowledge, following the tradition of feminist consciousness‐raising groups. Our analysis problematizes the individualization of office housework. It illustrates how saying “no” individualistically is often elusive, because doing so displaces the work onto colleagues with less structural power; nor enough if we are to advance the goal of collectively reimagining how this crucial, yet invisible work can be redistributed more equally amongst all workers. Our collective writing affirms the need for office housework to be recognized and revalued as important and indispensable work that sustains the functioning of our higher education institutions, especially in times of uncertainty and crisis.

ABSTRACTBackgroundIndividuals experiencing homelessness (IEH) tend to have increased length of stay (LOS) in acute care settings, which negatively impacts health care costs and resource utilisation. It is unclear however, what specific factors account for this increased LOS. This study attempts to define which diagnoses most impact LOS for IEH and if there are differences based on their demographics.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted looking at ICD‐10 diagnosis codes and LOS for patients identified as IEH seen in Emergency Departments (ED) and also for those admitted to hospital. Data were stratified based on diagnosis, gender, and age. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine which ICD‐10 diagnoses were significantly associated with increased ED and inpatient LOS for IEH compared to housed individuals.ResultsHomelessness was associated with increased LOS regardless of gender or age group. The absolute mean difference of LOS between IEH and housed individuals was 1.62 h [95% CI 1.49–1.75] in the ED and 3.02 days [95% CI 2.42–3.62] for inpatients. Males age 18–24 years spent on average 7.12 more days in hospital, and females aged 25–34 spent 7.32 more days in hospital compared to their housed counterparts. Thirty‐one diagnoses were associated with increased LOS in EDs for IEH compared to their housed counterparts; maternity concerns and coronary artery disease were associated with significantly increased inpatient LOS.ConclusionHomelessness significantly increases the LOS of individuals within both ED and inpatient settings. We have identified several diagnoses that are associated with increased LOS in IE; these should inform the prioritisation and development of targeted interventions to improve the health of IEH.
Integrated Care Implemented in the Children's Hospital From the Interwar Period as the Source of Good Practices for the Contemporary Concept of Coordinated Care Based on the WHO Model
Authors: Różalska Anna Maria , Łęcka Izabella 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIntroThe article tests the hypothesis that we can draw practical knowledge from the experience of service providers operating in the past. The research questions were formulated: can the historical example of the organization of medical care in the Polish Children's Hospital named after Karol and Maria be used as a viable example today? Is it relevant for contemporary practitioners? And do we still use the knowledge of predecessors? The authors decided to use the interwar Hospital and an operating paediatric ward of the Child‐Friendly Hospital for a comparative analysis.MethodsThe model of the European Regional Office of the World Health Organization for integrated delivery of health services was adopted as the analysis framework. We based the analysis on descriptive methods, starting with a literature review of routine activities of the Karol and Maria Hospital (historical example) and a paediatric hospital in Poland (contemporary example), then we conducted a comparative transversal study concerning the extent to which integrated care occurs in the WHO model. Finally, the elements of the process evaluation were used in the work.ResultsThe research model used enabled us to provide answers to the research questions formulated. The comparative study of a historical hospital and a contemporary one has shown that some problems and ways of solving them constantly reappear in the discussion on the management of evidence‐based medical care. Sourcing good practices from the past can be a good research method for current practitioners.ConclusionIt seems that while the technical aspects of integrated care initiated in the past are developing perfectly, the approach to the evidence‐based medicine is waiting to be developed again.
