Published: July 2024

PurposeThis study aims to support the global initiatives that advocate for ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for everyone, regardless of age, while allowing people to stay at their homes as long as they desire. The built environment (BE) plays a crucial role in achieving this, but in some countries, such as the UK, the housing stock has been found to require extensive adaptations to support resident’s health and well-being. While much research has been done on care provisions and later living housing, these solutions are unsuitable for low-population density areas (LPDAs).Design/methodology/approachThe study is encompassed by investigations around a systematic product development guided by the Double-Diamond Design Framework. This research focused on the “Discovery” phase, which involved online in-depth interviews, incorporating elements from the Human-Activity-Space-Technology Model, supplemented by an interactive board to discover key activities, elements and actors involved in supporting strategies for ageing in place.FindingsThis paper presents strategies to help people age in place, focusing on LPDAs. The interventions identified in this paper encompass fundamental elements such as layout design and smart home technologies.Originality/valueThe results provide contextualised BE interventions applicable to creating age-friendly communities, focusing on house design and service delivery from a product design approach.
What makes the second-largest apparel-exporting nation? An in-depth analysis of competitiveness and comparative advantage in Bangladesh’s apparel industry
Authors: Hasan Md Rokibul , Das Debanjan 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the export competitiveness of Bangladesh's apparel industry by identifying the specific product categories that help sustain its export comparative advantage.

Design/methodology/approach
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and market share (MS) are calculated between 2011 and 2020 at the two- and four-digit level apparel product categories within the harmonized system (HS) to analyze the industry’s growth and export dominance. Trade competitiveness (TC) at the four-digit level, revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and normalized revealed comparative advantage (NRCA) at the two-, four- and six-digit-level apparel product categories are computed for the same 10-year period to investigate the industry’s export competitiveness. Major export destinations of the top 5 exporting product categories are identified to understand the factors facilitating the industry’s growth. A non-parametric Spearman rank correlation analysis evaluated the association between the RCA and NRCA indices.

Findings
Among the 34 product categories at the four-digit level, 29 consistently demonstrated an export comparative advantage, as did 34 out of 217 six-digit level sub-categories. In contrast, 12 sub-categories at the six-digit level consistently exhibited a comparative disadvantage in Bangladesh's export competitiveness. Furthermore, the TC measure identified 28 categories at the four-digit level with a robust comparative advantage. 30 categories displayed a positive CAGR, and Bangladesh asserted significant market dominance over 26 product categories at the four-digit level.

Research limitations/implications
This study's implications are significant for various stakeholders in Bangladesh and other apparel-exporting industries, encompassing government entities, industry officials, policymakers, investors, researchers and students. Nevertheless, limitations arise from the study's reliance on RCA and NRCA as competitiveness indicators, particularly its adoption of a macro-level approach for measurement without exploring a micro-level perspective. This constitutes a notable constraint in the study's analytical framework.

Originality/value
This study contributed novelty and enrichment to the existing academic literature by identifying distinct apparel product categories that contribute to the industry's growth.

The friendship investment: exploring the soft power of Australian international scholarships and the impact of alumni networks and connections with Australia
Authors: Haddow Amanda , Edwards Daniel , Doyle Jo 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThis paper draws on two studies from a wider research program exploring the long-term graduate outcomes of Australia’s international development scholarships, the Australia Awards. The paper’s focus is on exploring how soft power can be identified through international scholarships and outlines conditions for success in achieving such outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThis article discusses a mixed-methods sequential design that uses a quantitative online survey to identify themes to explore in a case study using a quantitative social networks approach.FindingsThe research identified two outcomes linked to the soft power of international scholarships, these are: (1) The value of existing connections – exposure and opportunity for scholarship recipients to build professional networks while in-country, influences the likelihood of alumni actioning these positive experiences by developing partnerships with host-country organisations after returning home; and (2) The value of alumni interconnectivity – the critical mass of peer-to-peer alumni relationships is a soft power asset that donors can harness to influence their international development and diplomacy objectives. Together, these findings also provide evidence that soft power attraction engendered in international scholarship participants can have longevity.Originality/valueThis article builds on early literature examining the effectiveness of international scholarships for developing countries in achieving soft power for scholarship donors. It provides a new view of these outcomes by looking at alumni networks individually and as a critical mass, to demonstrate how these contribute to achieving the diplomacy objectives of this type of state-sponsored student mobility program.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Measuring ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) could be a valuable method for assessing whether nature‐based solutions, such as introducing non‐native species to benefit ecosystem functioning, yield net positive outcomes. While EMF metrics may provide a coarse overview of the functioning of a system, such metrics can obscure the interactions among multiple simultaneously occurring ecosystem functions. This could limit the predictive value and overall efficacy of EMF metrics for the management of environmental change impacts on ecosystem functioning.

We carried out a mesocosm experiment with dung beetle temporal species richness (diversity) treatments in a pasture ecosystem in Aotearoa New Zealand and quantified cascading biotic and abiotic effects of introduced dung beetles (Onthophagus binodis and Onitis alexis) on multiple ecosystem functions. We measured nine individual ecosystem functions affected by dung beetles, including dung removal, total soil carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, soil microbial respiration, nitrate N, ammonium N, anaerobically mineralisable N and pasture biomass production.

We first tested the effects of temporal dung beetle diversity on the nine individual ecosystem functions. We then tested how introduced dung beetle temporal diversity affects ecosystem multifunctionality by calculating EMF metrics using the averaging, threshold and the Hill numbers approaches. Finally, to investigate the underlying interactions among individual functions, we tested the direct and indirect effects of introduced dung beetles on the nine ecosystem functions using structural equation modelling (SEM).

Only one out of the nine individual ecosystem functions was significantly affected by dung beetle introductions, whereas five of the six calculated EMF metrics increased significantly with temporal diversity of introduced dung beetles. However, when modelled within an SEM framework, dung beetle temporal diversity was found to directly affect dung removal, but with cascading effects on total N and anaerobically mineralisable N.

Our results suggest that introducing and increasing dung beetle temporal diversity enhances the provisioning of multiple ecosystem functions, but that our ability to detect and explain changes in ecosystem multifunctionality is critically dependent on how EMF is quantified.

Abstract

Supplemental feeding can increase the overall health of animals but also can have variable effects on how animals defend themselves against parasites. However, the spatiotemporal effects of food supplementation on host–parasite interactions remain poorly understood, likely because large‐scale, coordinated efforts to investigate them are difficult.

Here, we introduce the Nest Parasite Community Science Project, which is a community‐based science project that coordinates studies with bird nest box ‘stewards’ from the public and scientific community. This project was established to understand broad ecological patterns between hosts and their parasites.

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of food supplementation on eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis) and their nest parasite community across the geographic range of the bluebirds from 2018 to 2021. We received 674 nests from 69 stewards in 26 states in the eastern United States. Nest box stewards reported whether or not they provided mealworms or suet near nesting bluebirds, then they followed the nesting success of the birds (number of eggs laid and hatched, proportion that hatched, number and proportion of nestlings that successfully fledged). We then identified and quantified parasites in the nests.

Overall, we found that food supplementation increased fledging success. The most common nest parasite taxon was the parasitic blow fly (Protocalliphora sialia), but a few nests contained fleas (Ceratophyllus idius, C. gallinae and Orchopeas leucopus) and mites (Dermanyssus spp. and Ornithonyssus spp.). Blow flies were primarily found at northern latitudes, where food supplementation affected blow fly prevalence. However, the direction of this effect varied substantially in direction and magnitude across years. More stewards fed bluebirds at southern latitudes than at northern latitudes, which contradicts the findings of other community‐based science projects.

Overall, food supplementation of birds was associated with increased host fitness but did not appear to play a consistent role in defence against these parasites across all years. Our study demonstrates the importance of coordinated studies across years and locations to understand the effects of environmental heterogeneity, including human‐based food supplementation, on host–parasite dynamics.
A proposal for cut marks classification using machine learning: Serrated vs. non‐serrated, single vs. double‐beveled knives
Authors: Steiger Giada Sciâdi , Borrini Matteo 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn tool mark identification, there is still a lack of characteristics and methodologies standardization used to analyze and describe sharp force trauma marks on skeletal remains. This study presents a classification method for cut marks on human bones, providing an applicable methodology for their examination and the relevant terminology for describing cases of sharp force trauma. A total of 350 cut marks were produced by stabbing pig ribs (Sus scrofa) with seven knives. The samples were analyzed under a stereomicroscope with a tangential light source. Through the analysis of cut marks, eleven traits were identified as significantly associated with the type of knife used. These traits included the general morphology of the kerf shape, the entrance and exit cross‐profile shapes, the location of the rising on the entrance and exit cross‐profile, the presence or absence of feathering, the presence or absence of shards and the location and the general morphology of the mounding. Binary logistic regression models were later trained and tested using nine out of the eleven traits. The first model categorized the cut mark as either produced by a serrated or non‐serrated blade, while the second, as either produced by a single‐ or double‐beveled blade. Classification scores of those models ranged between 63%–85% for the serration class and 63%–89% for the blade bevel class. This study proposes a new set of traits and the use of machine learning models to standardize and facilitate the analysis of stab wounds.
Glucagon‐like peptide agonists for weight management in antipsychotic‐induced weight gain: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroductionManaging body weight in patients with antipsychotic‐induced weight gain (AIWG) is challenging. Besides lifestyle interventions, pharmacological interventions may contribute to weight loss. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the effect on weight loss and adverse effects of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) agonists in patients with AIWG.Materials and MethodsFollowing PRISMA guidelines, we performed a meta‐analysis of blinded and open‐label randomised controlled trials (RCTs), non‐randomised controlled trials and cohort studies that evaluated treatment with GLP‐1 in patients with AIWG, regardless of psychiatric diagnosis. PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Primary outcome measures were changes in body weight and BMI. Secondary outcomes were changes in adverse effects and severity of psychopathology due to GLP‐1 agonists.ResultsOnly data for exenatide and liraglutide could be included, that is, five RCTs and one cohort study. For exenatide the mean weight loss was −2.48 kg (95% Confidence Interval (CI) −5.12 to +0.64; p = 0.07), for liraglutide the mean weight loss was −4.70 kg (95% CI −4.85 to −4.56; p < 0.001). The mean change in BMI was −0.82 (95% CI −1.56 to −0.09; p = 0.03) in the exenatide groups and −1.52 (95% CI −1.83 to −1.22; p < 0.001) in the liraglutide groups. Exenatide and liraglutide did not adversely affect psychopathology. The most common adverse events were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.ConclusionThe GLP‐1 agonists exenatide and liraglutide are promising drugs for inducing weight loss in patients with AIWG. The adverse effects are acceptable, and the addition of GLP‐1 does not increase the severity of psychopathology. However, more research is needed.

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of nursing education and counselling provided by telephone to individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery on their discharge satisfaction levels and self‐care power levels.MethodThe study was conducted using a randomized controlled experimental research model with a pre‐test‐post‐test control group (30 individuals in the experiment group and 30 individuals in the control group). Routine nursing care was applied to the patients in the control group throughout their attendance, and no training or intervention was made after discharge. By contrast, in addition to routine nursing care, the for 4 weeks in the experimental group received nursing education and counselling services by phone in the post‐discharge period. A ‘Personal Information Form,’ ‘Discharge Training Satisfaction Scale,’ and ‘Self‐Care Strength Scale,’ which were prepared by the researchers and included the personal information of the patients, were used to collect the data.ResultsThe difference between the pre‐test self‐care power scale and discharge education satisfaction scale sub‐dimensions of the groups and the mean score of the total score was not statistically significant. The post‐test self‐care power scale and discharge education satisfaction scale sub‐dimensions and total score averages of the patients in the experimental group were higher than in the control group, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P <0.05).ConclusionThe nursing education and counselling services given to the patients on the phone increased their self‐care skill levels and discharge satisfaction levels.
Student–teacher relational entitlement and its association with students' and teachers' characteristics
Authors: Tolmacz Rami , Ben‐Eliyahu Adar , Mikulincer Mario , Efrati Yaniv 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroductionOne's sense of entitlement—the subjective perception of what one deserves from another person—can contribute to social attitudes and behaviour in positive or negative ways, depending on the way in which one construes this subjective sense. Previous work has examined how adolescents' sense of entitlement towards their parents contributes positively or negatively to their well‐being. In this study, we extend this line of research and focus on adolescents' sense of entitlement towards another important authority figure—teachers, while examining its associations with both students' and teachers' characteristics and implications for students' functioning at school.MethodWe adapted the Adolescents' Sense of Relational Entitlement towards Parents scale to tap students' relational entitlement towards their teachers. We then examined the factor structure of the adapted scale and its associations with students' and teachers' relevant psychological measures in three samples (N = 1588).ResultsFindings confirmed the three‐factor structure of student–teacher entitlement. Studies 2–3 also revealed that students' sense of entitlement was associated with both students' variables (e.g., psychological well‐being, self‐esteem, perceptions of teachers' acceptance of them and students' school engagement) and teachers' emotional difficulties. Study 3's findings indicated that students' sense of entitlement was associated with their school engagement.ConclusionStudents' sense of entitlement towards teachers seems to be associated with teachers' emotional makeup and attitudes towards students. In addition, this subjective sense is associated with students' school engagement. These findings suggest that there is theoretical value and practical implications for further unpacking both teachers' and students' factors associated with students' sense of entitlement and examining its association with academic functioning at school.
