Two decades of research on “masstige” marketing: A systematic literature review and future research agenda
Authors: Chaurasia Muskan , Kumar Arvind , Panda Rajeev Kumar 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn the 21st century, luxury marketing increasingly utilizes “masstige marketing” as a strategic approach. This approach combines luxury and mass brands and targets middle‐class consumers with an aim to make high‐end brands more accessible and affordable. However, despite a surge in research interest over the past two decades, the literature on masstige marketing remains scattered. Therefore, the present moment offers an appropriate time to consolidate the existing literature and lay the groundwork for future researchers. To achieve this aim, this paper endeavors to narrow the literature divide between luxury and affordability to establish a strong conceptual boundary using SPAR‐4 protocol and the TCCM approach. It thoroughly examines 75 papers published between 2003 and 2023 to identify critical research gaps. Furthermore, following manual coding and inductive analysis, the review outlines the theoretical perspective like masstige and bandwagon (Theory); identifies the contextual elements like B2B space and culture (Context); reveals the antecedents, gaps, and outcome variables, that is, CBBE and purchase intention (Characteristics); and suggest diverse approaches, that is, mixed and experimental methods (Methodology). The article also confirms the incorporation of themes, that is, value‐based and masstige‐evolution dimensions, by using Corbin and Strauss open, axial, and selective coding. Lastly, by employing in‐depth knowledge gap analysis, the review proposes future research directions as an efficient path for obtaining a holistic understanding of masstige marketing dynamics.
A telo‐centric approach to rethink grand challenges: Digital wellbeing as an example
Authors: Ren Shuang , Chowdhury Soumyadeb , Budhwar Pawan 
Published: August 2024

AbstractHow can grand challenge‐related issues be studied while comprehensively addressing contemporary needs? The literature on grand challenges has been growing, with an abundance of phenomena on which research is undertaken in a piecemeal fashion, without sufficiently offering integrated insights. In this debate essay, we challenge the proposal offered in Seelos, C., Mair, J. & Traeger, C. (2023) The future of grand challenges research: retiring a hopeful concept and endorsing research principles, International Journal of Management Reviews, 25(2), 251–269 on retiring the grand challenge concept. Instead, we advocate for revitalizing, not retiring, so that grand challenges research can be adapted with the ultimate human purpose of achieving wellbeing. We propose that the solution lies in taking a telo‐centric approach to navigate the intersections between various grand challenge issues, offering a novel lens to delve into the ultimate end of human endeavours and to ensure the continued relevance of the grant challenge concept. We exemplify the application of this telo‐centric approach through the prism of digital wellbeing, demonstrating how it can pave the way for innovative theoretical frameworks, rigorous empirical investigations and practical developments. We conclude by forwarding future directions for research, practice and policy.

AbstractIn an ageing society, the incidence of hard‐to‐heal wounds is rising. Chronic wound healing is a complex process, which requires specialised treatment. Clinical assessment of the wound is essential to establish care approaches but is usually based on visual evaluation and it remains challenging. Therefore, innovative quantitative methods for the assessment of chronic wounds are needed. We conducted a single‐centre observational study designed to assess the feasibility of a bioimpedance measurement method conducted with a multielectrode sensor array to monitor the wound healing process in patients with chronic wounds of venous, mixed venous–arterial and diabetic aetiology. In total, 104 measurements of bioimpedance were conducted in 18 ulcers during the study. Across all 7 patients analysed, the bioimpedance of the ulcers was consistently increasing as the wound surface was decreasing. The variables had significant (p < 0.001) and strong negative correlation (r = −0.86). We validated the feasibility of the bioimpedance measurement method for the monitoring of the wound healing process on the lower legs. It may be a promising quantitative method for monitoring the status of the wounds. However, long‐term measurements are needed to show the usability of the electrode dressing and bioimpedance measurement in the assessment of chronic wounds.

AbstractAimTo synthesize evidence on healthcare professionals' experiences of competencies in mentoring undergraduate healthcare, social care and medical students during their interprofessional clinical practice.DesignThis review was conducted by the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence.MethodsStudies were included if they were based on the phenomenon of interest and used qualitative or mixed methods (qualitative share). The included studies were critically appraised using the standardized JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Qualitative research findings were extracted and synthesized using the meta‐aggregation approach.Data SourcesFive databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Medic and ProQuest) were systematically searched from each database's inception on 28 June 2023.ResultsA total of 5164 studies were initially screened, and 25 were identified for inclusion in this review. Three synthesized findings were identified: competencies related to (1) preparing for and developing interprofessional clinical practice, (2) supporting the learning process in interprofessional clinical practice and (3) creating an interprofessional mentor identity.ConclusionAlthough competent mentors are essential to implementing and developing interprofessional clinical practice, some mentors find interprofessional mentoring challenging. High‐quality interprofessional mentoring requires specific competence that differs from profession‐specific and individual mentoring.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareTo ensure that interprofessional clinical practice is of high quality and strengthens students' professional and interprofessional growth, special attention should be given to mentors' interprofessional mentoring competence, and a range of opportunities and organizational structures should be provided for competence development.ImpactThis systematic review provides insights into the specific competencies required for interprofessional mentoring. These findings can support healthcare professionals, educators and policymakers in developing interprofessional clinical practice and mentoring competence.Reporting MethodThis review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) statement and ENTREQ reporting guidelines.No patient or public contribution.

Published: August 2024

AbstractA captive marmoset developed metastatic endometrioid carcinoma (EnC), a rare uterine tumor in non‐human primates (NHPs). The neoplasm showed marked microscopical malignant and tubulopapillary aspects, immunopositivity for pan‐cytokeratin, CK7, estrogen receptor, and a high mitotic index (Ki‐67). These features may contribute to the diagnosis and therapeutics of EnC in NHPs.
Beyond simplistic narratives: Dynamic farmers, precarity and the politics of agribusiness expansion
Authors: Castañón Ballivián Enrique 
Published: August 2024

AbstractAgribusiness expansion is usually framed around two competing narratives. On the one hand, advocates present it as a promising vehicle to modernise agriculture and integrate small farmers into global value chains. On the other hand, critics denounce it as a top‐down corporate assault to monopolise agriculture and dispossess peasants of land. Despite their differences, these contrasting narratives tend to share a reductionistic capital‐centric bias as they are mainly focused on the alleged benefits/dangers of the ‘arrival’ of agribusiness corporate capital. Although simplistic, these narratives have been politically effective in shaping the public debate and thus should be exposed to critical challenge. Drawing on my ethnographic research in eastern lowland Bolivia, I show how both narratives fail to capture the complexity of an actually existing agribusiness structure. My grounded analysis of the process of agrarian change focuses on the changing labour dynamics among campesinos who have striven to become prosperous soy producers. Faced with bleak prospects and structural insecurity, they have been articulating a political practice around the notion of precarity. I argue that this emerging politics from below deserves more attention as an important terrain of political struggles of classes of labour.
Social justice in Canadian nursing professional documents: A Foucauldian discourse analysis

Published: August 2024

AbstractSocial justice is widely advanced as a central nursing value, and yet conceptual understandings of social justice remain inconsistent and vague. Further, despite persistently articulated commitments to upholding social justice, the profession of nursing has been implicated in perpetuating inequities in health and health care. In this context, it is essential to establish both conceptual clarity and tangible guidance for nurses in enacting practices to advance social justice—particularly through regulatory, education and accreditation documents that shape the nursing profession. This Foucauldian discourse analysis examines how social justice is discursively positioned within nursing professional documents in Canada, and illustrates that social justice was largely discursively excluded from these texts. Where social justice discourses were invoked, we identified that four central discursive patterns obscured and de‐centred this nursing value: (i) Vague language undermined professional commitments to social justice; (ii) Constructions of knowledge and awareness de‐emphasized practice; (iii) Individualism discourses minimized institutional/professional responsibility; and (iv) Aspirational language obscured present action. Extending from this analysis, we contend that the nursing profession must re‐examine how social justice is understood and articulated, and call for a re‐conceptualization of social justice grounded in nursing practice toward remediating inequities in health and health care.
The Czech Republic v Poland (Mine de Turów): Politics and implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive

Published: August 2024

AbstractAn international dispute between the Republic of Poland and Czechia over the Turów mine has recently resulted in infringement proceedings brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. This case and the judicial and extrajudicial processes surrounding it facilitate an assessment of the procedure provided for in Articles 258 to 260 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The assessment of this procedure is undertaken both in terms of the achievement of the internal policy objectives of the Member State and in terms of the effectiveness of the implementation of European law. We argue that this procedure (under Articles 258–260 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) is effective in both connections, because it provides a wide range of opportunities for both the judicial authorities of the European Union and the Member States themselves to achieve their objectives.
Parents' comprehensive health literacy and child health after attending extended home visiting in Swedish multicultural settings—A case‐comparison study
Authors: Mekhail Kirsi Tiitinen , Burström Bo , Marttila Anneli , Wångdahl Josefin , Lindberg Lene 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundParents' low health literacy (HL) has negative impacts on child health. Parental interventions may improve parents' HL and thus impact child health positively.ObjectivesThis study aimed to gain knowledge about associations between parents' comprehensive HL (CHL) and child health after an extended postnatal home visiting program in Swedish multicultural, disadvantaged settings compared to parents receiving regular child healthcare (CHC).Materials and MethodsThis quasi‐experimental study used a case–control sampling method to recruit first‐time parents through two CHC centres in Stockholm (2017–2020). Participants (N = 151) were interviewed twice through structured questionnaires when their child was <2 months and 15–18 months old. HLS‐EU‐Q16 assessed parents' CHL. Children's medical records (0–18 months) were reviewed regarding breastfeeding, children's exposure to smoking, language development and healthcare utilisation. Data were analysed with regression models and non‐parametric tests.ResultsNo significant association was found between parents' CHL and child health. However, significantly fewer unplanned visits to the CHC centre were observed among children (0–18 months) in the intervention group irrespective of CHL, compared with children to parents with improved CHL in the comparison group (F = 3.856, p = 0.011).ConclusionsPostnatal home visiting interventions practicing proportional universalism and family‐centred care may reduce unplanned visits within CHC in disadvantaged settings despite parents' CHL. Further studies with long‐term follow‐up are suggested to explore associations between parents' CHL and child health.Trial RegistrationAs a clinical study (not a clinical trial) with appropriate ethical permission with participants' consents, this study was retrospectively registered (18 February 2020) in the ISRCTN registry (ISRCTN10336603).
Design and usability evaluation of a mobile app for elementary school inquiry‐based science learning

Published: August 2024

AbstractTeachers often struggle to implement inquiry‐based science teaching. To support them, IndagApp—a 3D educational app that offers curriculum‐aligned, inquiry‐based lesson plans—was designed. The app is rooted in the inquiry phases recommended in best‐practices literature, which arguably align with most international standards. This study describes IndagApp and evaluates its usability with fifth‐graders from two elementary schools in Spain (N = 43). The system usability scale (SUS) and the Pictorial‐SUS were used to collect students' feedback on usability. Both frequentist and Bayesian analyses were conducted to compare the mean SUS score with established benchmarks for usability. The results showed that IndagApp had high usability ratings, with most students rating it as the “Best imaginable” or “Good.” The mean SUS score was 84.816, which was significantly higher than the benchmark score of 68. There were no differences in usability between girls and boys, and students in private and public schools. These findings suggest that IndagApp is a valuable resource for inquiry learning in elementary grades and has significant implications for science education and science teacher professional development, as it helps teachers adopt reform‐oriented teaching practices that align with the curricular standards and goals.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe topography and land use/land cover (LULC) of the hillslope play a significant influence on soil erosion because of water, which is considered as a principal factor for the reduction of soil organic carbon content. Reliable information on the impact of erosion mechanism on soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) is essential for effectively accounting for the carbon flux that influences climate change. The main objectives of this study were to determine soil erosion based on the variation of 137Cs (Radiocesium) radionuclide activity at various hillslope positions and LULC in a hilly and mountainous region of the north‐western Himalayas. Additionally, the relationship between 137Cs concentration, soil erosion rate and SOCS were examined. Fallout radionuclide‐137Cs have emerged as a suitable method for assessing soil erosion in hilly and mountainous regions where rugged topography and extreme weather events restrain the conventional soil erosion assessment. The study revealed very high soil erosion rates of 32.89 and 30.70 t ha−1 year−1 in the lower hillslope positions with cultivated fields. The lowest soil erosion was obtained with a mean of 0.47 t ha−1 year−1 from the ridge with grassland, followed by the upper hillslope (5.50 t ha−1 year−1 under deodar forest and 14.07 t ha−1 year−1 under pine forest), and the middle hillslope (1.58 t ha−1 year−1 for deodar and 7.77 t ha−1 year−1 for pine forest). The soil erosion rates differ significantly between cultivated and forested regions, and there is also a significant difference between deodar and pine forests. Moreover, a significant difference was found between topographic positions concerning 137Cs, SOCS and soil redistribution rate. This difference was more pronounced at hillslope positions with different LULC. In both disturbed (cultivated) (r2 = .111) and undisturbed (forested and grassland) (r2 = .356) soils, positive and statistically significant (p < .005) poor relationships were found between SOCS and 137Cs inventory. This indicates the presence of various factors influencing the soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) mechanism or the indirect contribution of soil erosion‐induced carbon loss. This suggests that forest cover can enhance SOCS in the soil, mitigating the adverse effects of soil erosion and climate change. Consequently, 137Cs could be effectively used to quantify the SOC stock in soil redistribution over the hillslope affected by soil erosion. Statistical analyses indicated that the 137Cs inventory, SOCS and erosion were significantly affected by various hillslope positions and LULC types.

AbstractIn an increasingly data‐driven world, statistical literacy is a necessity yet statistical learning is often inhibited by statistics anxiety. Using the Auzmendi Scale to Measure Attitude toward Statistics (ASMAS), this study examines how statistics anxiety in university students is related to other dimensions of their attitudes toward statistics and how statistics anxiety and other dimensions change following introductory statistics instruction. Based on data collected from Spain, Canada, and Australia, this study finds that anxiety is negatively related to security–confidence, pleasantness, and motivation. The structure of these relationships is consistent across countries and disciplines and remains in place after statistics instruction. Further, by the end of an introductory statistics course, students report higher security–confidence and pleasantness but lower anxiety. Results thus suggest where efforts to improve students' experience with statistics might need to be directed, and the paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of these results for statistics instruction.
Taxation of MNE profits in an R&D driven economy: Beneficial tax havens and minimum taxes
Authors: Lüttmann Malte 
Published: August 2024

AbstractResearch and development (R&D) by multinational enterprises (MNEs) generates substantial positive cross‐country spillovers. With R&D incentives primarily provided by the MNEs' host countries, these nations bear the entire cost of incentivising R&D but only reap a fraction of the benefits, resulting in inefficiently low R&D incentives and investment from a global perspective. Allowing MNEs to shift their profit to a tax haven shelters the firms' profit from foreign taxation and increases the net returns to R&D without reducing the domestic tax base. In this setting, tax havens can be welfare beneficial because they help to internalise the positive cross‐country spillovers of R&D. The optimal effective minimum tax balances a reduction in wasteful profit shifting and more efficient R&D incentives for MNEs. Regardless of the welfare effect of R&D, a strictly positive minimum tax is optimal for each country. Uncoordinated minimum taxes may be excessively high, if R&D investment has a strong impact on productivity. Under certain circumstances, IP boxes are a welfare‐improving substitute for tax havens.
