Two newly cultivated eukaryotrophic flagellates represent distinct anaerobic lineages within Rhizaria
Authors: Eglit Yana , Lawton Maggie , Simpson Alastair G.B. , Gawryluk Ryan M.R. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTEndomyxans are a poorly sampled and incompletely resolved aggregate of Rhizarian lineages that fall outside Filosa and Retaria. Among them, “Novel Clade 12” (NC12; Bass et al. 2009) is an environmental clade comprised primarily of sequences derived from anoxic sediments, hitherto lacking a morphologically-characterised representative. We have cultivated a marine anaerobic eukaryotroph, SSF, that we identify as the first representative of NC12. SSF is a teardrop-shaped cell with two unequal flagella emerging a third of the way down the cell behind a distinctive row of refractile globules. The posterior end of the cell is filled with food vacuoles. There is a surface thickening discernible in light microscopy. We also describe another distinct anaerobe eukaryotrophic lineage, also cultivated from marine sediment: PG. It consists of large pyriform cells with a substantial trailing “tail” and two unequal flagella, the posterior exceptionally long. In small subunit ribosomal RNA gene phylogenies, it falls outside the characterised clades and forms a distinct novel rhizarian lineage in its own right. Together, SSF and PG represent two additional independent adaptations to anoxic conditions within Rhizaria.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTBacteriophages (phages) that are intended to be used to treat bacterial infections are often improved using genetic engineering or experimental evolution. A protocol called “Appelmans” utilizes evolution in microtiter plates to promote the evolution of phages that can infect nonpermissive hosts. We tested a modification of the Appelmans protocol using the honey bee pathogen,Paenibacillus larvae. Three phages evolved together on fourP. larvaestrains following the standard Appelmans protocol and a modified version to ensure high phage diversity throughout ten rounds of passaging. The host range of 360 plaques were characterized and six new phage lysis patterns were identified. These new phage lysis patterns included plaque formation on previously nonpermissive, phage-resistant isolates that were used to identify phage types. The modified protocol did not drastically change the rate or number of new phage types observed but did prevent the phage population from being dominated by one phage that tended to rapidly raise in frequency. These findings showed how a minor modification of the Appelmans protocol influenced the development of phages for phage therapy. The method also provided improved phages for the treatment of bacterial infections in honey bees.

SummaryPlants accommodate diverse microbial communities (microbiomes), which can change dynamically during plant adaptation to varying environmental conditions. However, the direction of these changes and the underlying mechanisms driving them, particularly in crops adapting to the field conditions, remain poorly understood.We investigate the root-associated microbiome of rice (Oryza sativaL.) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenome sequencing, across four consecutive cultivation seasons in a high-yield, non-fertilized, and pesticide-free paddy field, compared to a neighboring fertilized and pesticide-treated field.Our findings reveal that root microbial community shifts and diverges based on soil fertilization status and plant developmental stages. Notably, nitrogen-fixing bacteria such asTelmatospirillum, BradyrhizobiumandRhizomicrobiumwere over-represented in rice grown in the non-fertilized field, implying that the assembly of these microbes supports rice adaptation to nutrient-deficient environments.A machine learning model trained on the microbiome data successfully predicted soil fertilization status, highlighting the potential of root microbiome analysis in forecasting soil nutrition levels. Additionally, we observed significant changes in the root microbiome ofccamkmutants, which lack a master regulator of mycorrhizal symbiosis, under laboratory conditions but not in the field, suggesting a condition-dependent role for CCaMK in establishing microbiomes in paddy rice.

Published: September 2024

AbstractMarchantia polymorphareproduces vegetatively (asexually) by producing propagules known as gemmae within gemma cups and sexually through spores. We previously reported that KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 (KAI2)-dependent signaling promotes gemma cup and gemma formation. KAI2A perceives unidentified endogenous ligand(s), tentatively referred to as KAI2 ligands (KL). Perception of KL by KAI2 triggers MAX2-dependent proteolysis of MpSMXL. In this study, we identified genes working downstream of KAI2-dependent signaling inM. polymorpha. We found that KAI2-dependent signaling positively controls the expression of MpLONLEY GUY(MpLOG), encoding a cytokinin biosynthesis enzyme. Disruption of the MpLOGfunction decreased endogenous cytokinin levels and caused defects similar to KAI2-dependent signaling mutants. Moreover, supplying exogenous cytokinins rescued the defects of Mplogand KAI2-dependent signaling mutants, implying that cytokinins work downstream of KAI2-dependent signaling. Activation of MpLOGby KAI2-dependent signaling occurs in a highly cell-type-specific manner, leading to cell-specific induction ofGEMMA CUP-ASSOCIATED MYB1(GCAM1), the master regulator of vegetative reproduction ofM. polymorpha. We propose a genetic cascade, starting from KAI2-dependent signaling, that promotes vegetative reproduction through the induction of MpLOGandGCAM1. The interaction between KAI2-dependent signaling and cytokinin inM. polymorphaprovides a novel insight into the function and evolution of KAI2-dependent signaling.

Authors: Pham Nhat Tan , Ngoc Thuy Vo Thi , Hai Quang Nguyen , Tuan Tran Hoang , Uyen Nguyen Hong 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
Based on the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) theory, this study aims to investigate the role of digital human resources management (digital-HRM) practices in influencing hotel employee behaviors, especially their adoption of work-at-home (WAH).

Design/methodology/approach
The study was conducted in two stages in hotels in Vietnam. Stage 1 used a mixed method to develop an instrument to measure digital-HRM practices. In Stage 2, through a survey of 303 respondents, the research investigated digital-HRM practices’ additive and interactive effects on WAH.

Findings
The study shows that digital-HRM comprised five factors. Except for digital recruitment, the other digital-HRM practices significantly affected WAH. In addition, the research suggests that digital training and employee involvement should be combined to enhance employee willingness for WAH.

Research limitations/implications
Drawing on the AMO theory, this study constructs a digital-HRM measurement scale to study the antecedents and consequences of these practices to improve employees’ digital work efficiency. In addition, through both additive and combinative (a two-way interaction) models, the study enhances the HRM and hotel management theory by understanding why digital-HRM practices are essential to boost employees’ digital competencies to adopt remote working.

Practical implications
By investigating the role of digital-HRM practices in improving employees’ adoption of WAH, this study provides empirical implications for hotels to manage digital-HRM practices better and thus makes remote working effective.

Originality/value
The existing literature reveals the lack of a deep understanding of how HRM practices can promote digital devices and services and their influence on employee behaviors, especially in the hotel sector. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is unique in extending the AMO theory into the digital context to illuminate components of digital-HRM practices and clarify how digitalizing HRM practices can motivate hotel employees to accept WAH.

Authors: Pavão João , Bastardo Rute , Rocha Nelson Pacheco 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis systematic review aimed to identify and categorize applications using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision.Design/methodology/approachA systematic electronic search was performed, and 53 studies were included after the selection process.FindingsThe results show that FHIR is being used to support (1) clinical research (i.e. clinical research based on interventional trials, data interoperability to support clinical research and advanced communication services to support clinical research), (2) public health and (3) medical education. Despite the FHIR potential to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision, some barriers were identified, namely difficulties translating the proposed applications to clinical environments or FHIR technical issues that require further developments.Originality/valueThis study provided a broad review of how FHIR is being applied in clinical activities outside of direct clinical care and identified three major domains, that is, clinical research, public health and medical education, being the first and most representative in terms of number of publications.
Practicing variation theory beyond learning study
Authors: Mårtensson Pernilla , Runesson Kempe Ulla , Hansson Henrik 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how principles from variation theory can contribute to the planning of teaching and learning beyond learning study.Design/methodology/approachWe study whether and how principles from variation theory contributed to a group of teachers’ planning of teaching and learning about decimal numbers in Grades 4 to 7 working in Subject Didactic Groups – a collaborative arrangement suited to daily teaching. A theoretical thematic analysis approach was used when analyzing eight audio-recorded meetings and written documents.FindingsThe study shows that variation theory principles contributed to the teachers’ planning of teaching and learning. Two themes were identified: the theory contributed to the teachers being able to (1) specify what their students needed to learn and (2) design tasks that they anticipated would afford the opportunity to learn what was identified as being necessary to learn.Originality/valueThe paper demonstrates how variation theory can contribute to teachers’ planning of teaching and learning when used in a collaborative arrangement other than learning study. This leads into a discussion about variation theory being used separately from learning study and the benefits and limitations this other collaborative arrangement can have for gaining knowledge of what is to be learned and taught.
Innovative collaboration among developing countries: the role of national innovation systems in Latin America
Authors: Velez-Calle Andres , Sanchez-Henriquez Fernando , Moore Elizabeth M. , Pacheco Larissa Marchiori 
Published: September 2024

PurposeBuilding on current debates on innovation, knowledge diffusion, and institutional dynamics, we explore the influence of national innovation systems (NISs) on international innovation collaborations in Latin America, focusing on intellectual property rights (IPR), access to scientific knowledge and regulatory quality.Design/methodology/approachWe analyze data from 17 Latin American countries from 2002–2015 using time-series panel analysis to evaluate how different NIS elements affect regional cooperation for innovation.FindingsRegulatory quality can improve international collaboration by compensating for weaker IPR and scientific knowledge bases. Interestingly, while both IPR and scientific knowledge inherently promote cooperation, stronger regulatory environments may diminish the effectiveness of IPR protections, suggesting a potential substitution effect.Practical implicationsThe study offers actionable insights for policymakers in developing regions to help them craft more effective policies for collaboration in innovation that consider the balancing act between regulatory quality and other NIS elements.Originality/valueThis research shifts focus from the conventional analysis of how developing countries attract collaboration from developed nations to how they can foster innovation among themselves, providing a unique perspective on the interaction between institutional factors and innovation capabilities within the Latin American context.

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the determinants influencing green mindfulness among university students in Malaysia within the context of the Malaysia 2030 Agenda, focusing on Sustainable Development Goal 17 attainment.

Design/methodology/approach
The research uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 203 young adults. It explores the factors of goal difficulty, knowledge and awareness, spirituality, values and perceived university environmental responsibility (PUER), using a novel theoretical framework termed universal identity theory (IT).

Findings
Values, knowledge and awareness and PUER significantly contribute to green mindfulness, whereas spirituality and goal difficulty did not exhibit a substantial relationship to green mindfulness.

Research limitations/implications
Limited representation of diverse age groups and the potential influence of seniority on spirituality. Future research should expand the framework to include green behavior and performance, increase the sample size and consider a broader age demographic.

Practical implications
Universities play a crucial role in promoting green mindfulness through the establishment of rules, regulations, environmental initiatives, incentive systems and the introduction of a green mindfulness course. Clear communication channels and top-down approaches are recommended.

Social implications
This research contributes to understanding the mechanisms that induce green mindfulness among university students in Malaysia, aligning with national and global sustainability goals.

Originality/value
The universal IT provides a comprehensive understanding of how personal, social and community-based identities collectively influence green mindfulness. This theoretical perspective contributes to the environmental psychology and sustainability studies field, offering a culturally sensitive approach.

Authors: Nguyen Hung , Huynh Thai , Tran Nha , Nguyen Toan 
Published: September 2024

PurposeVisually impaired people usually struggle with doing daily tasks due to a lack of visual cues. For image captioning assistive applications, most applications require an Internet connection for the image captioning generation function to work properly. In this study, we developed MyUEVision, an application that assists visually impaired people by generating image captions that can work with and without the Internet. This work also involves reviewing some image captioning models for this application.Design/methodology/approachThe author has selected and experimented with three image captioning models for online models and two image captioning models for offline models. The user experience (UX) design was designed based on the problems faced by visually impaired users when using mobile applications. The application is developed for the Android platform, and the offline model is integrated into the application for the image captioning generation function to work offline.FindingsAfter conducting experiments for selecting online and offline models, ExpansionNet V2 is chosen for the online model and VGG16 + long short-term memory (LSTM) is chosen for the offline model. The application is then developed and assessed, and the results show that the application can generate image captions with or without the Internet, providing the best result when having an Internet connection, and the image is captured in good lighting with a few objects.Originality/valueMyUEVision stands out for its both online and offline functionality. This approach ensures the image captioning generator works with or without the Internet, setting it apart as a unique solution to address the needs of visually impaired individuals.

The sample encompasses 138 articles published between 1999 and 2023, adhering to specific selection criteria. Analytical tools such as R program, VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel were used to categorise the data into three primary domains: productivity, citation patterns and network analysis. These categories further include the identification of research flows and prospective areas for further investigation.

Findings
The results indicate a substantial surge in publications between 2011 and 2022 involving 372 authors. This study identifies the primary contributors in terms of countries, affiliations, publications, sources and researchers. Seven distinct clusters emerged from the 138 papers, encompassing customer attitude, comparison studies, digital banking, customer loyalty, customer trust, consumer determinants and service quality. Additionally, the study outlines a future research agenda, posing specific research questions.

Research limitations/implications
Recognising the limitations inherent in focusing solely on Scopus-indexed publications, future studies may benefit from incorporating various databases, such as the Web of Science, for a more expansive exploration of study units. A systematic review of articles on a specific topic could also enhance the comprehensiveness of the study.

Practical implications
This investigation empowers Islamic bank managers to devise targeted marketing plans, differentiating themselves from competitors. By implementing relevant improvements in operational and service processes, managers can enhance the customer experience, fostering a lasting competitive advantage. For academics, this study lays a robust foundation for further research, encouraging the development of a comprehensive conceptual model and empirical testing. The identification of current research gaps enables researchers to focus on areas that remain underexplored.

Originality/value
This study not only illuminates critical gaps in existing research but also proposes a research agenda to guide future researchers in remaining pertinent, particularly within the context of Islamic banking marketing.

Determinants inhibiting digital payment system adoption: an Indian perspective
Authors: Hussain Shabir , Gupta Sameer , Bhardwaj Sunil 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
The main purpose of this study is to identify the determinants that inhibit the adoption or usage of digital payment systems (DPSs) in India.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a qualitative technique, including in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis, incorporating both deductive categorisation and inductive coding to identify factors responsible for the non-adoption or discontinuation of DPS use.

Findings
The findings are in the form of themes and sub-themes that were generated from the data analysis: digital divide (DD), which includes the digital access divide, digital capability divide and digital innovativeness divide; socio-demographic divide (SD), which includes education, geographical location, gender, age and income; psychological barriers, which include a lack of perceived ease of use, vulnerability to risks, technophobia and a lack of trust; and other barriers, which include a lack of awareness, a cash-dominated society and a lack of interoperability.

Research limitations/implications
The factors identified in this research can be further validated and tested in future studies using quantitative data. This will enable stakeholders to better comprehend the impacts of these factors on DPS adoption or usage.

Practical implications
The study’s practical implications are specifically relevant to the Union Territory (UT) administration of Ladakh, as there is a DD and an SD among different sections of the population of the UT of Ladakh. UT administrations must prioritise efforts to eliminate these divides. The implications for banks and DPS providers are that they should conduct financial literacy training about DPSs in remote rural areas and invest in developing user-friendly and simplified DPS user interfaces to improve relationships with DPS users and their long-term retention.

Originality/value
The findings of this study reveal the three levels of the DD that determine DPS adoption or usage, which have not been discussed together in the literature in the DPS context and that must be addressed to expand DPS adoption, thus providing a more holistic view of the DD in the context of DPS.
