Published: November 2024

AbstractObjectivei) determine whether the grade of hamstring strain confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is related to time to return to play, and ii) describe the incidence, prevalence and grade of hamstring strains confirmed by MRI in elite Australian cricket players.DesignRetrospective case series.MethodsHamstring strains from professional domestic and international cricket teams over 13.5 seasons which had received MRI scans were graded using British Athletics Muscle Injury Classification (BAMIC) system. The main outcome measure was time to return to play.Results141 hamstring strain injuries with available MRI imaging scans were recorded during the study period (average 3.2 per 100 players per season: male 4.5, female 1.2). The most commonly injured muscle was biceps femoris (64%, 95% CI 56-71%) and the most frequent category of injury was grade 2C (27%, 20-35%). Across all injury grades, players were unavailable for full participation for a median of 23 (IQR 15-38) days and missed 3 (1-6) matches. The number of days unavailable were higher for injuries which were graded 2 or 3, compared to grade 1 (p=0.018, p=0.002 respectively), and injuries which included the tendon compared to those which did not (p=0.002).ConclusionsThis study provides evidence that higher grade injuries and those involving the intramuscular tendon are associated with a more prolonged return to play. This finding should be viewed in context of the study limitation that clinicians treating players were not blinded to the MRI findings.
Resonant conversion of gravitational waves in neutron star magnetospheres
Authors: McDonald Jamie I. , Ellis Sebastian A. R. 
Published: November 2024

High-frequency gravitational waves are the subject of rapidly growing interest in the theoretical and experimental community. In this work we calculate the resonant conversion of gravitational waves into photons in the magnetospheres of neutron stars via the inverse Gertsenshtein mechanism. The resonance occurs in regions where the vacuum birefringence effects cancel the classical plasma contribution to the photon dispersion relation, leading to a massless photon in the medium which becomes kinematically matched to the graviton. We set limits on the amplitude of a possible stochastic background of gravitational waves using X-ray and IR flux measurements of neutron stars. Using Chandra (2–8 keV) and NuSTAR (3–79 keV) observations of RX J1856.6-3754, we set strain limits hclim≃10−26–10−24 in the frequency range 5×1017  Hz≲f≲2×1019  Hz. Our limits are many orders of magnitude stronger than existing constraints from individual neutron stars at the same frequencies. We also use recent JWST observations of the Magnetar 4U 0142+61 in the range 2.7×1013  Hz≲f≲5.9×1013  Hz, setting a limit hclim≃5×10−19. These constraints are in complementary frequency ranges to laboratory searches with CAST, OSQAR and ALPS II. We expect these limits to be improved both in reach and breadth with a more exhaustive use of telescope data across the full spectrum of frequencies and targets.

The PandaX-4T liquid xenon detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory is used to measure the solar B8 neutrino flux by detecting neutrinos through coherent scattering with xenon nuclei. Data samples requiring the coincidence of scintillation and ionization signals (paired), as well as unpaired ionization-only signals (US2), are selected with energy threshold of approximately 1.1 keV (0.33 keV) nuclear recoil energy. Combining the commissioning run and the first science run of PandaX-4T, a total exposure of 1.20 and 1.04  tonne·year are collected for the paired and US2, respectively. After unblinding, 3 and 332 events are observed with an expectation of 2.8±0.5 and 251±32 background events, for the paired and US2 data, respectively. A combined analysis yields a best-fit B8 neutrino signal of 3.5 (75) events from the paired (US2) data sample, with ∼37% uncertainty, and the background-only hypothesis is disfavored at 2.64σ significance. This gives a solar B8 neutrino flux of (8.4±3.1)×106  cm−2 s−1, consistent with the standard solar model prediction. It is also the first indication of solar B8 neutrino “fog” in a dark matter direct detection experiment.

Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the language features (framing analysis) used in reporting climate change issues in online media and their potential effect on triggering reader apathy.

Design/methodology/approach
The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining discourse analysis and survey. The data for this research is derived from news articles published between 2023 and 2024 in Indonesia’s three largest online media platforms. The Apathy Evaluation Scale assessed 305 people’s apathetic attitudes toward climate change.

Findings
The findings reveal that many respondents exhibit moderate apathy toward climate change issues. The research establishes a correlation between the frequency of news consumption and apathetic attitudes toward climate change. The findings identify four aspects that are likely to contribute to triggering apathetic behavior among readers of online media reporting on climate change: the dominant focus of the news, the explanation of potential impacts of climate change, contextual factors and the clarity of information sources.

Practical implications
This study offers valuable recommendations for policymakers and relevant organizations, empowering them to develop effective educational initiatives and formulate impactful climate change reporting strategies in mass media. These findings can motivate action and change, ensuring a more informed and engaged public.

Originality/value
More research is still needed on framing analysis of reporting on climate change issues in online media using language framing theory. The findings of this research have the potential to make a substantial contribution to the advancement of science, particularly in linking language and the environment.

Published: November 2024

Purpose
Previous studies emphasized the substantial energy-saving potential of light emitting diode (LED) lighting systems, especially in the clothing industry. However, the specific quantification of energy conservation potential in industrial factories, particularly in Bangladesh’s readymade garment (RMG) sector, remains unexplored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential energy savings and efficiency improvements of lighting systems in Bangladesh’s RMG sector using LED technology.

Design/methodology/approach
Understanding and optimizing energy consumption is crucial in the RMG sector because this sector contributes significantly to the country’s export earnings. For this, an RMG factory was surveyed and possible lighting system retrofitting was estimated and compared.

Findings
The adoption of energy-efficient lighting options, particularly LED, could decrease the current lighting energy usage from 15% to 7.5% in Bangladesh. First, this study reveals, that the reduction of annual energy consumption was determined to be 18,220 kWh due to the retrofitting of the lighting system with LED tube. Second, it conducts real-time measurements to assess the suitability of in-building lighting systems, providing insights into the current scenario. Lastly, it evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the proposed lighting system in the RMG industries. Due to the retrofitting of the lighting system, the reduction of equivalent CO2 gas emissions was found to be 119.896 tCO2.

Originality/value
For the first time, this study explored the potential for enhancing energy-efficient lighting system design through retrofitting in the RMG industry, with a focus on Bangladesh. By addressing these aspects, this study aims to contribute to the advancement of energy efficiency and conservation efforts in the RMG sector, ultimately fostering sustainable industrial development in Bangladesh and beyond.

Published: November 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of an online course on gender equality in tourism on the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of students concerning sustainable development goals (SDGs) at two universities in Spain and Mexico.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses 38 online qualitative surveys administered to participants both before and after the university online course. The methodology incorporates the three variables of the KAP model: knowledge, attitudes and practice.

Findings
Following the online course, disparities in knowledge levels were observed, accompanied by positive shifts in attitudes and practices toward SDG 5 among university students from Mexico and Spain. The results suggest that a positive initial attitude markedly enriches the learning experience, even without extensive preexisting knowledge and notably increases the likelihood of participants engaging in practical actions postcourse completion.

Practical implications
The study proposes an innovative framework for designing SDGs-oriented training courses within university settings. Additionally, it outlines a pathway by which enhancements in knowledge, attitudes and practices related to SDGs, with a focus on SDG 5, empower students to act as catalysts for societal change.

Originality/value
This study presents a novel application of the KAP model’s variables in analyzing the results of a university course within the tourism sector. It underscores the essential role of expert-led instruction using real-life case studies for SDG education, providing fresh perspectives on augmenting the contribution of higher education to sustainable development.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThis paper treats the problem of scheduling seafaring staff inspired from a real case study, where the shipowner operates several vessel categories that require specific skills aiming to achieve a fair workload distribution and minimizing incompatibility between workers while meeting legal constraints, including requirements for days off and rest intervals between shifts.Design/methodology/approachA mixed integer linear problem (MILP) formulation has been built to address the seafaring staff scheduling problem by integrating multiple objectives and constraints. The model’s performance is tested through experimental results across varying parameter adjustments.FindingsOur model was tested and validated using the XPRESS solver, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness in meeting the specified objectives and constraints. Notably, findings reveal that increasing the number of qualified workers leads to improved gains, until a certain threshold. Additionally, expanding the size of the workforce can result in longer execution times, specifically when incompatibility increases.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in proposing a generic novel model that deals with maritime staff scheduling, incorporating worker incompatibilities and workload fairness as key objectives.
The efficacy of intelligence-led policing in fighting robbery in the republic of Zimbabwe
Authors: Mugari Ishmael , Chakanyuka Tongai 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of intelligence-led policing in fighting crime, particularly robbery. The study also looks at the impediments to the implementation of intelligence-led policing in fighting robbery.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopted a mixed method design on a sample of 60 police officers in Mutare policing district, who were selected using stratified and purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through a mainly closed-ended questionnaire and in-depth interviews. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyse quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data.

Findings
Findings revealed that the Zimbabwe Republic Police has embraced intelligence-led policing, with informer management, crime database management and physical surveillance as the main intelligence-led policing strategies. Findings also revealed that the intelligence-led policing strategy has largely been reactive rather than proactive. Notwithstanding some positives, such as intelligence-led arrests, the implementation of the initiative has been hampered by lack of resources, such as human resource, modern technology and motor vehicles.

Originality/value
This study interrogates the effectiveness of one of the widely used crime fighting strategies across the globe. While most of the previous studies focused on developed countries, this study focused on a developing country that, however, is one of the first countries to embrace the intelligence-led policing strategy on the African continent. The study also highlights the impediments to the effective implementation of intelligence-led policing, as well as offering prescriptive measures to deal with these challenges.
A methodological procedure for the estimation of ecological value applied to a neotropical cloud forest
Authors: Amador‐Cruz Francisco , Figueroa‐Rangel Blanca L. , Olvera‐Vargas Miguel , Mendoza Manuel E. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractEcological value (EV) refers to the intrinsic values of a landscape based on the assessment of five criteria: biodiversity, vulnerability, fragmentation, connectivity, and resilience. While many studies use remote sensing for EV assessment, few incorporate fieldwork data. In our research, we present a novel methodology involving field data collection to quantify each criterion. Additionally, we propose a numerical procedure to aggregate rankings and determine EV. Our study took place in a highly biodiverse neotropical cloud forest in western Mexico. Biodiversity was assessed through evenness, vulnerability by counting threatened species, fragmentation based on tree functional traits, connectivity by tree dispersal syndrome and successional behavior, and resilience from tree species' information and material legacies. To reveal similarity patterns among plots regarding the criteria and EV, we used nonmetric multidimensional scaling with permutational multivariate analysis of variance. To assess EV estimation reliability, we used altitude and azimuth as predictors through generalized additive models. The methodology unveiled that plots with the highest EV do not necessarily possess superior ecological properties (biodiversity and/or vulnerability) or structural and functional features (fragmentation, connectivity, and/or resilience), thus demonstrating the importance of including all criteria in the assessment and avoiding the use of a single criterion. Results showed that cloud forest plots with the highest EV were at an altitude of 1900–2200 m asl, facing southeast and northwest orientations. These plots were characterized by a high number of threatened species, low fragmentation, and high levels of connectivity and resilience.
Crisis? What Crisis? The Contestation of Urgency in Creeping Crises
Authors: Geisemann Pia , Geiger Daniel 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTWhilst research on extreme contexts has mainly studied responses to and perceptions of urgency in abrupt crisis settings, this paper examines the construction and contestation of urgency in ambiguous creeping crisis settings. It builds on the empirical case of the Alpine Region of Tyrol and the discourse that emerged around the climate crisis and ski tourism. By taking an abductive approach, we investigate how the temporal dynamics of urgency contestation unfold between different actors. Our findings show three discursive dynamics that drive the contestation of urgency over extended periods of time. We further reveal that actors draw on specific temporal dimensions when constructing high or low senses of urgency – a measurable, normative or synchronicity dimension. This contributes first to research on urgency by uncovering that urgency is not something that can be taken for granted in crises, but instead a multidimensional and relationally contested construct. Second, we point to the nestedness of crises by showing that the urgency of a crisis is shaped by the perception of urgency in related crises. Third, we contribute to crisis research outlining that creeping crises do not necessarily peak in a “hot phase” but instead remain contested and continue to creep on forever.
Psychometric evaluation and measurement invariance of the problematic smartphone use scale among college students: A national survey of 130 145 participants
Authors: Sun Haocan , Tang Kun 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsGiven the insufficient validation of previously imported smartphone addiction scales in China, this study revised and evaluated the Problematic Smartphone Use Scale among Chinese college students (PSUS‐C).MethodsWe based our research on a national sample comprising 1324 higher education institutions and 130 145 participants. Using cross‐sectional data, comprehensive methods were employed to examine validity, reliability and measurement invariance.ResultsThe final scale consists of 20 items across four dimensions: withdrawal and loss of control, negative impact, salience behaviors and excessive use. All Heterotrait‐Monotrait (HTMT) values were below 0.85, and the lower 90% and upper 95% confidence intervals were also below 0.85, except for factors 1 and 3. The amount of variance (AVE) values were greater than 0.5, composite reliability (ω) values exceeded 0.89 and all factor loadings were above 0.5. The criterion validity was supported as expected: problematic smartphone usage positively correlated with depression (r = 0.451), loneliness (8 items, r = 0.455), loneliness (6 items, r = 0.504), social media use (r = 0.614) and phone usage duration (r = 0.148); and negatively correlated with life satisfaction (r = −0.218) and self‐esteem (r = −0.416). Across sex, type of university and place of residence, the measurement invariance performed well, with most changes in root mean square error of approximation (ΔRMSEA), comparative fit index (ΔCFI) and Tucker–Lewis index (ΔTLI) values being less than 0.005, and no indicator showing a difference greater than 0.010.ConclusionsThe Problematic Smartphone Use Scale for College Students (PSUS‐C) demonstrated good factor structure, internal consistency, construct validity, discriminant validity and criterion validity. Strict and structural invariance were demonstrated across sex, type of university and place of residence. The PSUS‐C has the potential to assess smartphone addiction among Chinese university students.

ABSTRACTAmazona aestiva, a member of the Psittacidae family, belongs to the genus Amazona. These animals are endowed with adaptations in their digestive systems that allow a natural diet composed of seeds and fruits, with anatomical characteristics that facilitate the acquisition and use of nutrients from these food groups. Although it is an important species, no previous information is available regarding the histology and histochemistry of its digestive tract. This study aimed to describe the morphological and histochemical characteristics of the digestive tract of this species. Fragments of the tongue, oesophagus, crop, proventriculus, ventriculus, small intestine, large intestine, liver and pancreas were collected from seven specimens without any clinical alterations in the digestive tract. A. aestiva's digestive tract observed the presence of an extremely developed tongue, a proventriculus with more delicate walls and a ventricle with less‐developed musculature. Here, we present a detailed morphological and histochemical description of the Turquoise‐fronted Parrot's digestive tract.
