Authors: Li Xinyang , Kozlowski Marek , Salih Sarah Abdulkareem , Ismail Sumarni Binti 
Published: May 2024

PurposeIn urban planning, sustainability is closely linked to the quality of urban public spaces (UPS). However, some UPS encounter issues of low attractiveness and underutilisation. Vitality serves as a crucial measure in this context. The research perspective on the vitality of UPS centres on the balance between human activities and the built environment. Therefore, this article aims to systematically review critical aspects of UPS vitality evaluation system, including research objects, vitality components and research methods, from the dimensions of crowd activity and the built environment.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review using PRISMA analysed English-language publications from 2008 to 2023 in Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases, employing keywords related to UPS and vitality, with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.Findings(1) Research objects, including parks, squares, waterfronts, blocks and streets. (2) The factors contributing to crowd activity characteristics originate from five dimensions, namely spatial, temporal, visitor, activity and feedback. Environmental factors, both external (accessibility, surrounding function mix and population density) and internal (service facility mix and water presence), significantly impact vitality. (3) The study primarily relies on quantitative data, including traditional surveys and emerging significant data sources like dynamic location and traffic, social media, geospatial and point of interest (POI) data. Data analysis methods commonly used include correlation analysis and comprehensive evaluation techniques.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the vitality evaluation system for UPS from multiple perspectives for urban planners, aiding in identifying key factors and research methods in the vitality evaluation of various types of UPS.
Antifragility, resilience and collaborative networks of SMEs: a theoretical foundation
Authors: Sagala Gaffar Hafiz , Őri Dóra 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThe dynamic of the business environment has escalated the competition and uncertainty, which is challenging business survivability, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs attract researchers due to their unique characteristics that have limited resources but great flexibility and adaptability. Furthermore, Collaborative Networks (CNs) have been proposed by business scholars as a critical strategy to gain resilience and antifragility. However, the concept of antifragility and its relation with CNs is still vague in the SME sector. Therefore, this study aims to develop a complete understanding regarding: (1) the emerging knowledge that is critical in explaining antifragility in the business sector based on co-citation and thematic analysis; (2) the relation between resilience and antifragility in emerging business research; (3) the relation between CNs and antifragility in emerging business research and (4) a framework of antifragility in the SME context.Design/methodology/approachBibliographic Analysis and Systematic Literature Review are performed to reach the research objectives. We use co-citation and thematic analysis to identify the map of emerging knowledge and the related concepts, which are the fundamentals of antifragility. Furthermore, we use a systematic literature review to determine the relation of antifragility, resilience and CNs in the SME context.FindingsAntifragility is a higher level of survivability compared to resilience. Antifragile SMEs could gain an advantage from the uncertain business environment. However, both in resilience and antifragility, SMEs should become active learners. Furthermore, CNs are proposed as the gateway for SMEs to manage their resource limitations. The conceptual framework of Antifragile SMEs is presented as the theoretical contribution of this manuscript.Originality/valueThis article explains the knowledge structure of antifragility in the business sector, particularly among SMEs. Based on bibliometric data, we describe critical characteristics or mental states entrepreneurs should have when facing uncertainty. Furthermore, we propose a conceptual framework for antifragile SMEs where active learning and positive psychology are the pillars, and CNs are critical ingredients of antifragility in SMEs.

Published: May 2024

PurposeThe study aimed to capture student experience during virtual internships by identifying the facilitators and barriers during their experiential learning journey. The students were pursuing their Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) program at a business school in India. The authors shed light on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the current education system, specifically experiential learning through virtual internships.Design/methodology/approachAbout 38 Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted from July to September 2022 with the students of a business school located in Pune, India. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed to generate new themes for ascertaining the facilitators and barriers to virtual internships. Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis was undertaken to analyze the lived experiences of the respondents.FindingsStudents viewed virtual internships positively in terms of mentor support, active learning, flexibility, and an easy onboarding process. Poor work-life balance, lack of peer learning and infrastructure issues were some of the barriers/challenges faced by the students.Practical implicationsThe study discusses various managerial and administrative implications. The findings help educationists design effective pedagogy by drawing insights from constructivist learning theory, where students' active role during virtual internships must be given primary attention. Corrective measures in the pedagogy can be taken while designing a virtual internship, considering the barriers found in this study.Originality/valueThe themes identified in the study are a novel contribution to the growing body of knowledge on virtual experiential learning. The study empirically captures student experience regarding a relatively new phenomenon of virtual internships, which is the uniqueness of this paper.

AbstractThis study investigates the relationships between subclinical mastitis and milk quality with selected microRNAs in cow milk. California Mastitis Test (CMT)‐positive (n = 20) and negative (n = 20) samples were compared (Experiment I). Additionally, samples with CMT‐positive but microbiological‐negative, as well as positive for only Staphylococcus subspecies (Staph spp.) and only Streptococcus subspecies (Strep spp.) were examined (Experiment II). Four groups were formed in Experiment II: Group I (CMT and microbiological‐negative) (n = 20), Group II (CMT‐positive but microbiological‐negative) (n = 10), Group III (Staph spp.) (n = 5), Group IV (Strep spp.) (n = 5). While electrical conductivity, somatic cell count (SCC), malondialdehyde (MDA) increased, miR‐27a‐3p and miR‐223 upregulated and miR‐125b downregulated in the CMT‐positive group in Experiment I. SCC and MDA were higher in CMT‐positive groups. miR‐27a‐3p and miR‐223 upregulated in Groups III and IV. While miR‐155 is upregulated, miR‐125b downregulated in Group IV. Milk fat is positively correlated with miR‐148a and miR‐223. As miR‐27a‐3p positively correlated with SCC and MDA, miR‐125b negatively correlated with electrical conductivity and SCC. miR‐148a and MDA were positively correlated. miR‐155 was correlated with fat‐free dry matter, protein, lactose, and freezing point. miR‐223 was positively correlated with SCC and miR‐148a. Results particularly highlight miR‐27a‐3p and miR‐223 as potential biomarkers in subclinical mastitis, especially those caused by Staph spp. and Strep spp., while miR‐148a, miR‐155, and miR‐223 stand out in determining milk quality.

AbstractHow gender diversity is exhibited varies: some individuals feel similar to the other gender; others experience little similarity to either gender, and some feel similar to both genders. For children, do these variations relate to differing relationships with peers? The goal was to assess whether a community sample of children (884, Mage = 9.04, SD = .90, 51% boys/1 transgender boy; 57% non‐Latinx) with differing types of gender diversity have differing relationship experiences and beliefs about same‐ and other‐gender peers. Gender diversity was determined by gender self‐concepts (Both‐Gender Similar, Cross‐Gender Similar, Low‐Gender Similar); these were compared among themselves and to gender‐typical children (Own‐Gender Similar). Results confirmed that children who exhibited differing gender diversity patterns varied in their peer experiences such that gender self‐concept matching was found: Children who felt more similar to other‐gender peers reported more contact and felt included and efficacious with other‐gender peers; children who felt more similar to same‐gender peers reported more contact and felt included and efficacious with same‐gender peers. These findings suggest that children with two of the atypical patterns (i.e., Cross‐Gender and Both‐Gender) may experience social benefits that gender typical children do not. These findings illustrate the variability and strengths among gender diverse children.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic ushered in unprecedented social and economic conditions, alongside unexpected policy responses, challenging the effectiveness of traditional labor market forecasting approaches. This article presents a novel approach that integrates macroeconomic variables, traditional labor market metrics, and Google search data to develop a machine learning‐based indicator for the Colombian labor market. We employ support vector machine for regression and neural networks models to forecast monthly employment and unemployment rates, explicitly focusing on the third wave of COVID‐19 in the first half of 2021. Our study's findings reveal that the proposed models outperform the autoregressive benchmark regarding forecast accuracy, demonstrating a rapid adaptation to labor market shifts.

AbstractBackground and PurposeThis study analyses whether first‐line antihypertensive drugs ameliorate the dysbiosis state in hypertension, and to test if this modification contributes to their blood pressure (BP) lowering properties in a genetic model of neurogenic hypertension.Experimental ApproachTwenty‐week‐old male Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were untreated or treated with captopril, amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide. A faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment was also performed by gavage of faecal content from donor SHR‐treated groups to SHR recipients for 3 weeks.Key resultsFaeces from SHR showed gut dysbiosis, characterized by lower acetate‐ and higher lactate‐producing bacteria and lower strict anaerobic bacteria. All three drugs increased the anaerobic bacteria proportion, captopril and amlodipine restored the proportion of acetate‐producing bacterial populations to WKY levels, whereas hydrochlorothiazide decreased butyrate‐producing bacteria. Captopril and amlodipine decreased gut pathology and permeability and attenuated sympathetic drive in the gut. Both drugs decreased neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei. Hydrochlorothiazide was unable to reduce neuroinflammation, gut sympathetic tone and gut integrity. FMT from SHR‐amlodipine to SHR decreased BP, ameliorated aortic endothelium‐dependent relaxation to acetylcholine, lowered NADPH oxidase activity, aortic Th17 infiltration and reduced neuroinflammation, whereas FMT from SHR‐hydrochlorothiazide did not have these effects.Conclusions and ImplicationsFirst‐line antihypertensive drugs induced different modifications of gut integrity and gut dysbiosis in SHR, which result in no contribution of microbiota in the BP lowering effects of hydrochlorothiazide, whereas the vasculo‐protective effect induced by amlodipine involves gut microbiota reshaping and gut‐immune system communication.

AbstractObjectivesThis study comprises a synthesis of published qualitative studies from developed countries on the perspectives of carers regarding the oral hygiene toothbrushing practices of preschool children, through the lens of social practice theory.MethodsA search of the following electronic databases was conducted for all available years: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Global Health using the Ovid platform; Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source (DOSS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Scopus. Included qualitative studies reported primary caregivers' perceptions of oral hygiene practices (focusing on toothbrushing) in preschool children (0–5 years old) in developed countries. A thematic synthesis of the qualitative findings was undertaken for the results of each study.ResultsEleven articles were included in this meta‐synthesis. The focus of this paper was toothbrushing practices. A conceptual map of toothbrushing as a social practice was developed. Key findings included practice elements (meanings, competences, and materials), spatial and temporal aspects, and barriers and facilitators to performance.ConclusionsThe application of a social practice lens to published qualitative research on the oral hygiene of preschool children provided insights into the meanings and competences related to toothbrushing, as perceived by primary caregivers. However, it also revealed limited information on material, spatial and temporal aspects of toothbrushing practices, indicating the importance of considering social practice theory as a framework in future research to address this gap. Furthermore, exploring toothbrushing in connection with related social practices has the potential to increase understanding of factors influencing oral health in preschool children.

AbstractMarine protected areas (MPAs) globally serve conservation and fisheries management goals, generating positive effects in some marine ecosystems. Surf zones and sandy beaches, critical ecotones bridging land and sea, play a pivotal role in the life cycles of numerous fish species and serve as prime areas for subsistence and recreational fishing. Despite their significance, these areas remain understudied when evaluating the effects of MPAs. We compared surf zone fish assemblages inside and outside MPAs across 3 bioregions in California (USA). Using seines and baited remote underwater videos (BRUVs), we found differences in surf zone fish inside and outside MPAs in one region. Inside south region MPAs, we observed higher abundance (Tukey's honest significant difference [HSD] = 0.83, p = 0.0001) and richness (HSD = 0.22, p = 0.0001) in BRUVs and greater biomass (HSD = 0.32, p = 0.0002) in seine surveys compared with reference sites. Selected live‐bearing, fished taxa were positively affected by MPAs. Elasmobranchs displayed greater abundance in BRUV surveys and higher biomass in seine surveys inside south region MPAs (HSD = 0.35, p = 0.0003 and HSD = 0.23, p = 0.008, respectively). Although we observed no overall MPA signal for Embiotocidae, abundances of juvenile and large adult barred surfperch (Amphistichus argenteus), the most abundant fished species, were higher inside MPAs (K–S test D = 0.19, p < 0.0001). Influence of habitat characteristics on MPA performance indicated surf zone width was positively associated with fish abundance and biomass but negatively associated with richness. The south region had the largest positive effect size on all MPA performance metrics. Our findings underscored the variability in species richness and composition across regions and survey methods that significantly affected differences observed inside and outside MPAs. A comprehensive assessment of MPA performance should consider specific taxa, their distribution, and the effects of habitat factors and geography.

Published: May 2024

AbstractAimsThe study aims are to present the Italian adaptation of the Abbreviated Clinical Structured Interview for DSM‐5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (Mini‐SIPS) and illustrate its implementation in a clinical setting.MethodsThe Mini‐SIPS was developed from the original extended version as a tool designed to identify, within the clinical high risk (CHR) framework, the DSM‐5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) and to be implemented in clinical settings. The Mini‐SIPS was translated in Italian by a Yale‐certified SIPS trainer, then back‐translated in English by a trained psychologist, then approved by the Mini‐SIPS authors. Since September 2021, the adapted Italian version of the Mini‐SIPS has been implemented at the First Episode Psychosis (FEP) Program in Ferrara, Italy.ResultsThe Italian version of Mini‐SIPS was successfully administered to 15 individuals subsequently referred to the First Episode Psychosis service in Ferrara. Within this sample, the tool has proven to be both an effective and efficient tool for the identification of CHR and FEP, and a valid instrument to help with the differential diagnosis. It also performed as a valuable guide for retrieving information about psychiatric history, to date the onset of APS and/or full‐blown psychosis, to track the progression from CHR to psychosis or to symptoms resolution and to describe patients' pathways to care.ConclusionThe Mini‐SIPS is an efficient and easy‐to‐use interview to identify the early stages of psychosis and established psychosis in clinical contexts. The Italian adaptation of this interview could be effectively implemented in other Italian FEP Programs as a screening and monitoring tool. Formal validation of the instrument is needed to assessed validity and reliability in the diagnosis of the CHR and FEP.
In search of time: Higher education teachers' experience of an online professional development course
Authors: Poderi Giacomo , Popov Jelena , Møller Jeppe Kilberg 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article investigates teachers' lived experiences of an online professional development (OPD) course in Denmark – that is, Teknosofikum – through a hermeneutic phenomenological perspective, and it relies on the interpretive analysis of 15 semi‐structured interviews. The article's contribution focuses on the theme of ‘time’ and highlights it as a multifaceted construct that plays a relevant role in learning. By relying on the ideas of temporal structuring and multiple temporalities, the article shows that OPD courses and HE teachers' engagement nest themselves into pre‐existing and complex nexus of commitments and duties, each of which has its own temporality and rhythm, along with longer‐term aspirations for pedagogical development. As time emerged as a relevant aspect characterizing OPD course design and HE teachers' experiences, the article provides simple recommendations for ‘time‐aware’ OPD courses.
