AbstractBehavioral strategies for foraging and reproduction in the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) are alternative options for resource allocation and are controlled by neuropeptides. Here we show that the behavioral switch between foraging and reproduction is associated with changes in antennal sensitivity. Starved flies became more sensitive to food odors while suppressing their response to opposite-sex pheromones. The gene encoding sulfakinin receptor 1 (SkR1) was significantly upregulated in the antennae of starved flies, so we tested the behavioral phenotypes of null mutants for the genes encoding the receptor (skr1-/-) and its ligand sulfakinin (sk-/-). In both knockout lines, the antennal responses shifted to mating mode even when flies were starved. This suggests that sulfakinin signaling via SkR1 promotes foraging while suppressing mating. Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. We conclude that sulfakinin signaling via SkR1, modulating OR expressions and leading to altered antenna sensitivities, is an important component in starvation-dependent behavioral change.

The digital future of Spanish universities: facing the challenge of a digital transformation
Authors: Luque-Martínez Teodoro , Doña-Toledo Luis , Faraoni Nina 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to advance the understanding of both the challenges and the priorities facing Spanish universities undergoing the digital transformation era, to identify areas for improvement in university management, from a managerial point of view.

Design/methodology/approach
To analyze the importance and adequacy of various aspects related to digitalization, the authors use the importance–performance matrix, by surveying figures who have or have had a managerial position in the university, such as rectors and vice-rectors.

Findings
The results showed that the priority areas were related to strategic and financial management, knowledge management and the society and environment dimension. It all revealed imbalances, the most important of which were in the areas referring to attracting talent, sources of financing, strategic management and digitalization.

Research limitations/implications
The study could benefit from considering or placing greater emphasis on alternative viewpoints, including those of external experts and administrative managers at public universities.

Practical implications
The practical implications relate to university management. In particular, the study highlights two issues that are a priority: attracting talent and training for university management as well as for data management. It follows from these results that legislative development and public funding should be directed towards adapting the training offer as well as the management structure and processes to the context of digitalization.

Social implications
These results have implications for the public sphere, for decision-making related to the public funding that organizations receive from governments. Indeed, as the empirical results demonstrate, the proposed framework is effective not only in assessing the status of digitalization in the university but also in providing information on the most important aspects that need particular attention to achieve the desired future condition.

Originality/value
The novelty of this study lies in the analysis and evaluation of the digitalization process and how public universities are facing it, from the perspective of university management. Methodologically, the novelty lies in the use of the importance–performance matrix, which not only provides insight into the importance of different aspects to be analyzed but also provides information about their adequacy.
Addressing performance improvement of a neural network model for Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solutions with high wake formation
Authors: Ajaya Kumar Ananthajit , Assam Ashwani 
Published: July 2024

PurposeDeep-learning techniques are recently gaining a lot of importance in the field of turbulence. This study focuses on addressing the problem of data imbalance to improve the performance of an existing deep learning neural network to infer the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solution, proposed by Thuerey et al. (2020), in the cases of airfoils with high wake formation behind them. The model is based on a U-Net architecture, which calculates pressure and velocity solutions for fluid flow around an airfoil.Design/methodology/approachIn this work, we propose various methods for training the model on selectively generated data with different distributions, which would be representative of the under-performing test samples. The property we chose for selectively generating data was the fraction of negative x-velocity in the domain. We have used Grad-CAM to compare the layer activations of different models trained using the proposed methods.FindingsWe observed that using our methods, the average performance on the samples with high wake formation (i.e. flow over airfoils at high angle of attack) has improved. Using one of the proposed methods, an average performance improvement of 15.65% was observed for samples of unknown airfoils compared to a similar model trained using the original method.Originality/valueThis work demonstrates the use of imbalanced learning in the field of fluid mechanics. The performance of the model is improved by giving significance to the distribution of the training data without changes to the model architecture.

Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study investigates the extent to which support facilities are available, accessible and satisfactory and the relationship between support facilities and academic adjustment among first-year university undergraduates.

Design/methodology/approach
This research adopted a survey research design. A simple random sampling technique was used to select six faculties at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Nigeria. Six hundred first-year students took part in the study. The Support Facilities and Academic Adjustment Questionnaire (SSAAQ) was adapted and used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation and the t-test were used to analyse the data.

Findings
The study revealed that the extent of the availability of support facilities is low, accessibility is moderate while the extent of satisfaction is high in the study context. Significant positive relationship exist between support facilities and academic adjustment, in favour of female first-year undergraduates. The challenges faced by first-year undergraduates were highlighted.

Originality/value
Nigerian students are confronted with accessing important components of support facilities at tertiary institutions. These student face additional hurdles in accessing support facilities at universities because of their socioeconomic status but were not explicit in identifying the exact nature of the challenges they experience. There is dearth of literature regarding the extent of availability, accessibility, as well as the challenges encountered by first-year students and their satisfaction in accessing the university’s support facilities, vis-à-vis its relationship to their academic adjustment in the university amidst gender differences. This current study fills this gap in the literature.

Unveiling the impact of sustainable manufacturing on triple bottom line sustainability performance: a Bangladesh perspective
Authors: Islam Azharul , Ghosh Ratan , Hamid Md Kaysher , Kabir Sadman 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to measure the impact of sustainable production and distribution processes on the sustainability performance in the pharmaceutical sector of Bangladesh based on triple bottom line (TBL) approach.

Design/methodology/approach
It measures sustainable manufacturing and distribution practices with three dimensions namely: sustainable production process, sustainable supply chain management and sustainable end-life management, whereas sustainability performance is measured with three important aspects of performance measurement of TBL, namely social, environmental and financial performance. A survey questionnaire has been designed to collect data relating to sustainability practices and sustainability performance of listed pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh. The data have been analyzed with the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to investigate the relationship between sustainable production and distribution practices and economic, environmental and social performances.

Findings
The findings show that a sustainable production process has a positive impact on environmental and economic performance, but sustainable supply chain management has a significant impact only on economic performance. Whereas sustainable end-life management has a significant impact on both environmental and social performance but not on the financial performance of the industry. Although the current findings contradict some of the previous outcomes, the results can still be robust in the context of Bangladesh.

Practical implications
It is expected that the findings of the study might provide new insights into the sustainability initiatives of the manufacturing companies of Bangladesh. The study findings can help policymakers in implementing the sustainability agenda of the United Nations.

Originality/value
The pharmaceutical industry of Bangladesh has a significant contribution to the foreign earnings of the country. But the introduction of sustainable development goals (SDGs) criteria has forced the industry to redesign its production and operation systems. While numerous studies have investigated the individual components of the TBL in the developed country context, the dynamics of an emerging economy like Bangladesh have been overlooked. By focusing specifically on Bangladesh, a country with a promising pharmaceutical sector handling unique socioeconomic and environmental challenges, the current study fills a considerable gap in the existing sustainability literature.
The disastrousness of asylum: Syrian asylum seekers and their impact on disastrousness in the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes
Authors: Şahin Ali Utku 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Turkey hosts the majority of Syrians who fled their country due to the Syrian Civil War that started in 2011, and Syrians mostly live in the provinces most affected by the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the presence of disadvantaged population on disaster risk in Turkey, a disaster country, through the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and Syrian asylum-seekers, based on the claim that the vulnerability caused by this additional population residing in the provinces most affected by the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes is a factor that will increase the disastrousness of the earthquakes.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the mathematical model used in the calculation of the Human Development Index, the study comparatively calculates the vulnerability of the Turkish and Syrian populations residing in the earthquake-affected provinces by taking into account population density, gender, age, education and employment factors.

Findings
The findings of the analysis show that the vulnerability of Syrian asylum seekers in Kilis, Gaziantep and Hatay provinces is higher than the vulnerability of the Turkish population.

Originality/value
This paper shows significant findings on the effects of disadvantaged groups residing in a disaster-prone area concerning the consequences of the devastating earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023 in the southern region of Turkey.
A critical review of service climate role in customer experiences
Authors: Almeida Pedro 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Extensive research has made it possible for service climate (SC) to establish itself as “a pivotal construct from a practical and theoretical perspective in the services marketing and management literatures” (Auh et al., 2011, p. 427). Key to that interest is the role granted to SC in several important outcomes, such as customer satisfaction and loyalty. A closer look at the theoretical arguments and empirical evidence supporting such role reveals, however, several fragilities. The main purpose of this paper is to present some of those fragilities considered to be particularly relevant to identify possible ways to avoid them.

Design/methodology/approach
An extensive review of SC literature was conducted leading to the identification of several fragilities regarding the role of SC in customers experiences.

Findings
The literature review conducted revealed several limitations that warrant some caution regarding the general consensus concerning the role of SC in customers experiences.

Originality/value
The originality of this paper lies in the identification of several important issues regarding the arguments and empirical support that have been ignored in the literature regarding the role of SC in customers experiences.
Muslim women entrepreneurs: an exploratory study of the Nigerian “Mumpreneurs” perspective
Authors: Nasir Muhammad Muhammad , Shamim Saemah 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This paper explores the motivations and challenges faced by Muslim women ‘mumpreneurs,’ in Northern Nigeria, a region with a predominantly Muslim population. The unique socio-religious and cultural context of Northern Nigeria serves as a key driver for this research, prompting a deeper understanding of the experiences of Muslim mumpreneurs in the area.

Design/methodology/approach
The study employed a qualitative approach, by utilizing semi-structured interviews with 12 Muslim mumpreneurs residing in various states across Northern Nigeria. Accordingly, thematic analysis was used to explore the influence of their motherly roles on their entrepreneurial experiences.

Findings
Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: Motivations: Mumpreneurs were driven by desires for financial independence, positive societal impact and increased flexibility to manage work-family balance. Challenges: Lack of capital, skills, knowledge and sociocultural constraints (e.g. gender norms) impeded their progress. Push and pull factors: Their entrepreneurial journeys were shaped by both internal aspirations and external societal influences.

Originality/value
The findings of this study provide further understanding of the distinct experiences of Muslim mumpreneurs in Northern Nigeria, contributing significantly to our knowledge of the dynamics of Muslim women mumpreneurs in a specific, understudied Muslim society. By implication, it highlights the need for targeted support for this under-researched population, informing policymakers, support organizations, and future research endeavors.

Authors: Price Elizabeth , Nicholson Dawn Theresa , Dunk Rachel , Lawler Cormac , Carney Matthew , Vargas Valeria Ruiz , Veitch Sally , Leigh Sophie , Singleton Matt , Mottram Sarah 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Recognising that there is increasing urgency to equip graduates to become future leaders in delivering the sustainable development goals (SDGs), this study presents a critical analysis of a whole-institution approach to embedding education for sustainable development (ESD) in curricula. This study aims to explore the wider reach of adopting a similar approach within varied professional practices and institutional settings.

Design/methodology/approach
The approach is mixed-methods action research framed within a revised institutional strategy. The authors place this in the wider context of ESD in higher education.

Findings
Embedding ESD in curricula and recognition of its relevance across all disciplines were important to stakeholders. These outcomes translated into strategic commitments. Within the first year of the strategy, Carbon Literacy was embedded in almost 20% of courses and in progress in a further 25%; ESD was embedded in 42% of courses and in progress in a further 7%; and over 80% of students agreed with the statement “My course provides me with the opportunities to gain knowledge and skills relating to sustainable development”.

Originality/value
This work demonstrates effective measures that can be amplified across the sector, framed by two overarching principles that are effective regardless of context: demonstration that sustainability adds value to academic activities and consultation and co-creation to build a shared vision and support for change.
Boundary spanning activities and resource orchestration as microfoundations of dynamic capability: a systematic literature review
Authors: Ariwibowo Aziz Fajar , Afiff Adi Zakaria , Rachmawati Riani , Kusumastuti Ratih Dyah 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
The interest of scholars to study microfoundations of dynamic capability has increased. Literatures associated with them are rapidly and diversely developing. This study aims to investigate whether both boundary spanning activities and resource orchestration are the microfoundations of dynamic capability.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guideline is applied to extract 263 studies from Scopus and 12 studies from other online sources. Some studies investigate some of the relationships but only one investigates all relationships examined.

Findings
Further discussion suggests that boundary spanning activities and resource orchestration are microfoundations of dynamic capability. The first and second groups of boundary spanning activities (scout and ambassador) and the first stage of resource orchestration (structuring/search/selection) are microfoundations of sensing/shaping. Third group, task coordinator, with some elements of the second stage, leveraging and all elements of third stage, bundling, are microfoundations of seizing. Meanwhile, some other elements of second stage, leveraging, are microfoundations of reconfiguring. Guard, the fourth group of boundary spanning activities, is excluded from microfoundations of dynamic capability because of its nature of internal activities to keep things from the environment.

Originality/value
This study is an original review of literatures about both boundary spanning activities and resource orchestration as microfoundations of dynamic capability. The paper starts with a systematic literature review on four relationships examined and ends up with deep further analysis on the elements of activities groups of boundary spanning, stages of resource orchestration and process groups of dynamic capability.
