Reimagining quality education for pastoralists through Maasai elders’ eyes in Monduli, Tanzania
Authors: Pesambili Joseph C. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
While extensive research exists on education practices among Maasai pastoralists, this study fills a gap in understanding their specific perspectives on what constitutes “quality education” for their community. This study aims to uncover how Maasai elders define quality education based on the capabilities and functionings they value.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a glocalised research design informed by Sen’s capabilities approach to guide data collection, analysis and interpretation. Data were primarily gathered through in-depth interviews with two local chiefs, two firestick patrons and eight male and ten female elders in Monduli.

Findings
The results illuminate the Maasai’s endorsement of education for self-improvement, cultural preservation, self-reliance and community service as essential components of quality education. These findings highlight the need for integrating these education-related capabilities into school curricula to enhance the Maasai community’s well-being and empowerment. The study also underscores the pivotal role of enkigúɛ́na as a Maa concept for facilitating constructive dialogue between Indigenous and Western knowledge, enabling meaningful engagement between the Maasai and educational stakeholders, and fostering internal discussions on the essence of quality education. The study concludes with implications for theory, policy, practice and further research.

Originality/value
This paper offers a unique exploration of Maasai elders’ views on what constitutes “quality education” within their society. It also examines how the Maa term enkigúɛ́na (meeting) can act as an effective conduit for realising such educational aspirations.

Mechanical characterization of new bi-material generated by additive manufacturing: IZOD test–puncture impact behaviour
Authors: Sanchez Ramirez Alberto , D´Amato Roberto , Islán Marcos Manuel Enrique , Juanes Méndez Juan Antonio , Blaya Haro Fernando 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to characterize a new structural bi-material (scaffold and filler).

Design/methodology/approach
The bi-material has been obtained by means of an additive manufacturing system consisting of a fused filament fabrication extruder head and an epoxy resin depositor head. The new bi-material will consist of a thermoplastic material that will serve as the main structure and an epoxy resin that will serve as a filler and adhesion between layers. The creation of this new bi-material will improve the physical–chemical and mechanical properties with respect to the thermoplastic material. This paper will focus on the impact behavior of IZOD and the impact behavior of punctures.

Findings
The new polylactic acid (PLA) and epoxy bi-material allow improvements in toughness and puncture impact resistance compared to the PLA thermoplastic. This increase in toughness is between 20% and 30% depending on the orientation of the print. In the same way, the energy absorbed in the puncture impact test has been increased by 42%–48%.

Practical implications
The improvement in the impact absorption capacity of this new bi-material makes it ideal for the manufacture of medical parts in which customization, lightness and impact resistance are their main characteristics such as sports protection systems.

Originality/value
The originality of creating parts through additive manufacturing that combines a material generated with cold extrusion, such as epoxy resin and a material generated with hot extrusion, such as thermoplastics, lies in the unique synergy that this mixed and simultaneous technique offers. By uniting these two manufacturing methods, it allows the exploration of new physical and chemical properties in the resulting parts, taking advantage of the individual advantages of each material. This combination opens the door to the creation of components with a wider range of characteristics, from strength and durability to flexibility and temperature resistance, thus offering innovative and versatile solutions for various applications in fields such as engineering, medicine and design.
Shifting the context: reviews and research agendas for traditional, reputational and societal supply chain risk
Authors: Schleper Martin C. , Duensing Sina , Busse Christian 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to shape the future trajectory of scholarly research on traditional, reputational and societal supply chain risks and their management.

Design/methodology/approach
The research uses a narrative literature review of the overview type. To control bias stemming from the subjectivity of the methodology, the authors synthesized the relevant literature transparently and established various safeguarding procedures.

Findings
The established research stream on traditional supply chain risk has generated a wealth of concepts that can potentially be transferred to the study of reputational and societal risks. The maturing research stream on reputational risks has mostly focused on risk manifestation, from the upstream perspective of the focal firm. The emerging scholarship on societal supply chain risks has anecdotally highlighted detrimental effects on contextual actors, such as society-at-large.

Research limitations/implications
This study shifts scholarly attention to the role of the context in the risk manifestation process – as a potential risk source for traditional supply chain risk, during the risk materialization for reputational supply chain risk, and as the locus of the risk effect for societal supply chain risk.

Originality/value
This review is unique in that it fosters a holistic understanding of supply chain risk and underscores the increased importance of the context for it. The socioeconomic, institutional and ecological contexts connect the three reviewed research streams. Detailed research agendas for each literature stream are developed, comprising 23 topical areas in total.
Risks of decentralized finance and their potential negative effects on capital markets: the Terra-Luna case
Authors: Santiago Viktor , Charifzadeh Michel , Herberger Tim Alexander 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the impact of the 2022 collapse of the Terra-Luna ecosystem on volatility correlations among digital assets, including U.S. Terra, Luna, Bitcoin, Ether, a Decentralized Finance index and U.S.-sourced conventional assets stocks, bonds, oil, gold and the dollar index. The primary research question addresses whether correlations increased between digital and conventional assets during the collapse.

Design/methodology/approach
A dynamic conditional correlation generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model was used to examine changes in volatility correlations during the market crash. Specifically, a data set of 1,442 close prices from 30-minute interval candles of digital and conventional asset prices are considered to provide a granular view of market dynamics during the sample period from January 3rd, 2022, to May 31st, 2022, including the crash event.

Findings
While the dynamic conditional correlation plots of the model indicate increased volatility, the results do not offer sufficient evidence to confirm an increase in correlations between digital and conventional assets during the Terra-Luna downfall. Furthermore, the authors confirm Bitcoin’s role as a diversifier with oil and observe the dollar index maintaining a negative correlation with Bitcoin during the crash, supporting Bitcoin’s function as a hedge against the U.S. dollar. However, the findings during the crash diverge from previous studies, reflecting shifts in correlation patterns in broader market downturns. Specifically, the authors identify the need for adaptive capital allocation strategies, as gold’s oscillation during the period suggests it may not serve as an effective hedge during black swan events.

Practical implications
The findings provide insights for investors, financial institutions and regulators to improve risk management, portfolio diversification, trading strategies and the formulation of consumer protection regulations. In addition, the results underscore the challenges of mitigating risks beyond regulatory measures and emphasize the importance of exercising caution for investors.

Originality/value
This study addresses the research gap in changes between conventional and digital asset volatility correlations during collapses in the digital asset space.
Management forecasts: Biases, incentives, and spillover effects
Authors: Dye Ronald A. , Sridharan Sri S. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractManagement earnings forecasts (MEF), a form of voluntary disclosure, are different from most other disclosures because MEF have spillover effects on managers' subsequent operating decisions and earnings reports. These effects arise from managers' attempts to reduce their forecast errors. Even though managers can separate their firms from less profitable firms by issuing forecasts the latter cannot match, there is no equilibrium where all managers issue forecasts. We show that managers who issue (resp., don't issue) MEF choose above (resp., below) first‐best operating actions. We identify which managers issue MEF and why allowing managers to misreport earnings may increase expected earnings.
The Aquatic Metatron: A large‐scale experimental facility to study the combined effects of habitat fragmentation and climate change on aquatic meta‐ecosystems

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Revealing the effects of multiple global change drivers on ecosystem dynamics and functioning is a crucial endeavour, which necessitates the use of appropriate tools. Here, we present the Aquatic Metatron, a unique mesocosm facility providing a large‐scale experimental resource to study the combined effects of global change components, in particular climate change and habitat fragmentation, on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of aquatic ecosystems.

The Aquatic Metatron consists of 144 mesocosms of 2 m3 each that can be connected to each other with aquatic corridors, and—for a subset of them—with aerial corridors. This enables effective control of dispersal across meta‐ecosystems. In addition, the temperature in each mesocosm is supervised and precisely controlled, either through a heating (all mesocosms) or a cooling (72 mesocosms) system. All mesocosms can be monitored automatically for abiotic and biotic factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity and chlorophyll a) allowing for long‐term experimentation.

We tested the platform by conducting three experiments involving the manipulation of various components of global change: climate warming, biodiversity loss, eutrophication and aquatic/aerial fragmentation. The technical innovations of the platform have been validated, in particular its capacity to accurately recreate multiple climatic scenarios (e.g. heatwaves, warming, cooling) and the possibility of using aerial and water corridors to simulate fragmented landscapes.

The Aquatic Metatron is located in the south‐west of France (https://sete‐moulis‐cnrs.fr/fr) and is part of AnaEE France and AnaEE‐ERIC (https://www.anaee.eu/), which are large‐scale research infrastructures. The Aquatic Metatron is a research facility accessible to external researchers and projects.
Measuring the impact of stress‐tolerant rice variety adoption: Evidence on input use and yield in Nepal
Authors: Vaiknoras Kate , Larochelle Catherine , Alwang Jeffrey 
Published: November 2024

AbstractNew agricultural technologies, such as stress‐tolerant rice varieties (STRVs), that reduce yield risk can modify farmers’ production decisions. This article explores how STRV adoption affects farmer decision‐making and productivity in Nepal in a non‐drought year. STRVs are bred to be high‐yielding and tolerant to climate shocks such as drought. To assess the effect of input measurements on treatment effects, we collected information from 900 households on STRV adoption and input use. We also conducted a survey experiment in which half of sampled households were randomly assigned to answer additional, more detailed questions on agricultural inputs. Farmers apply more total chemical fertilizer, pesticides, early‐season chemical fertilizer, and land preparation labor to plots planted with STRVs compared to traditional varieties (TVs). Detailed input data enhances our understanding of how this “crowding‐in” effect of STRV adoption on input use compares with other high‐yielding varieties. While farmers increase application of a subset of these inputs on other improved variety types such as hybrids, results suggest that crowd‐in effects are most consistent for STRVs. In the absence of drought, STRVs also provide a similar yield boost and yield variance reduction over TVs compared to other, non‐stress tolerant improved varieties. Results suggest that improved varietal adoption, and STRV adoption in particular, can improve household productivity and modernization of agriculture.
International student mobility and the politics of distance education
Authors: Brunner Lisa Ruth 
Published: November 2024

AbstractInternationalization at a distance (IaD) has been loosely defined as distance education across borders or the international mobility of knowledge without human mobility. It is largely celebrated, for example, for its potential to improve global education access and mitigate environmental harm. However, this depoliticized positioning risks overlooking IaD's relationship to uneven human mobility flows structured by global inequities. In response, this paper calls for a critical IaD research agenda, starting by drawing attention to the mobility politics of IaD at the postsecondary level. First, it proposes a more nuanced conceptualization of IaD rooted in insights from critical border studies, described here as bordered distance education. Second, it suggests the use of two theorizations of capital—citizenship and motility—as avenues to deepen future analysis of not only IaD but also international student mobility more generally. Third, to demonstrate the application of these suggestions, it presents a critical policy discourse analysis of international student mobility policies during the COVID‐19 pandemic era and its aftermath (2000–2024) in Canada. This case study shows how (1) distance education can be used as a bordering tool, and (2) governments can manipulate international student mobility policy to ensure IaD primarily serves immigration, as opposed to educational, needs.
Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic

The growth of internationalization at a distance (IaD) has the potential to shift how international student mobility is structured, experienced and understood.
IaD is loosely described as distance education across borders.
There are limited critical studies of IaD.
What this paper adds

IaD is embedded in mobility politics and bordering practices.
In addition to its educational purpose, IaD can allow international students to accumulate citizenship capital and motility in new ways.
However, IaD can also be used as a governance tool to (1) recruit/distinguish between potential citizens, (2) manage migration flows and (3) ensure the uninterrupted mobility of capital.
IaD raises key questions about the meaning of ‘international’ in the study of internationalization.
A more nuanced and critical definition of IaD as bordered distance education stresses what is unique about IaD: Distance education characterized by encounters with bordering practices.
Implications for practice and/or policy

IaD can benefit from a more critical research agenda, as well as returning to distance education's intellectual roots focused on the politics of access.
Immigration policies which attempt to govern international students' geographic mobility differently from domestic students' (eg, disincentivizing international student distance education) should ensure such policies do not negatively impact (1) international students' access to education or (2) education institutions' academic programme design.
Pointing out learning opportunities reduces overparenting
Authors: Shachnai Reut , Asaba Mika , Hu Lingyan , Leonard Julia A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractOverparenting—taking over and completing developmentally appropriate tasks for children—is pervasive and hurts children's motivation. Can overparenting in early childhood be reduced by simply framing tasks as learning opportunities? In Study 1 (N = 77; 62% female; 74% White; collected 4/2022), US parents of 4‐to‐5‐year‐olds reported taking over less on tasks they perceived as greater learning opportunities, which was most often the case on academic tasks. Studies 2 and 3 (N = 140; 67% female; 52% White; collected 7/2022–9/2023) showed that framing the everyday, non‐academic task of getting dressed as a learning opportunity—whether big or small—reduced parents' taking over by nearly half (r = −.39). These findings suggest that highlighting learning opportunities helps parents give children more autonomy.

Published: November 2024

AbstractPurpose offers several important benefits to youth. Thus, it is necessary to understand how a sense of purpose develops in supportive contexts and what psychological resources can help. From 2021 to 2022, this study investigated purpose change among 321 youth (Mage = 16.4 years; 71% female; 25.9% Black, 33.3% Asian, 15.6% Hispanic/Latinx, 13.4% White, 9.7% multiracial) participating in GripTape, a ~10‐week self‐driven learning program. Many youth started with high initial purpose that increased throughout enrollment (Strengthening), whereas others began with slightly lower purpose that remained stable (Maintaining). For each unit increase in baseline agency, youth were 1.6x more likely to be classified as Strengthening. As such, agency may be a resource that helps youth capitalize on certain types of environments.
