Authors: Agnoli Lara , Le Fur Eric , Outreville Jean-François 
Published: February 2025

PurposeFinancial literacy is crucial in explaining a broader set of investment behaviors. This paper investigates what financial literacy, wine knowledge, risk propensity and wine purchase behavior have in common.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is on a questionnaire distributed online to an equal number of young adults from a traditional wine-producing and consuming country (France) and a country less linked to wine by tradition (the UK).FindingsThe analysis shows how financial literacy, financial education and financial risk attitudes impact the attitudes toward wine purchase decisions. Results indicate that participants prefer to drink wine for pleasure rather than for potential financial gain. Significant relationships exist between financial literacy, wine consumption frequency and willingness to store and pay for wine.Originality/valueThese results allow for a better understanding of wine purchasing behavior in light of willingness to pay, invest and store.Highlights(1)Financial literacy has a positive role in influencing wine storage and investments.(2)Culture shapes the impact of financial literacy, habits and risk on wine investments.(3)Gender and age have a role in influencing wine investments.
A review on microplastic contamination in freshwater bodies, especially in Indian rivers with experimental insights on polyamide degradation
Authors: Randhawa Kawaljit Singh 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to address the growing issue of microplastic contamination, particularly in freshwater bodies, and to summarize recent research on this topic. This study aims to discuss the origins, distribution and occurrence of microplastics, as well as the methods used for their extraction and characterization, with a special focus on India due to its significant population and highly contaminated water bodies.

Design/methodology/approach
The approach of this study involves a comprehensive review of publications from recent years that focus on microplastic contamination in freshwater systems. The review includes an analysis of the sources of microplastics, their distribution and occurrence in freshwater environments and the techniques used for sampling and characterizing these pollutants. Also, one experiment was carried out to understand the hygroscopic behavior of polyamides; in which one circular disc of polyamide (PA6) was dipped into a freshwater container for 12 months.

Findings
The findings highlight the widespread presence of microplastics in freshwater bodies worldwide, emphasizing the severe threat they pose to living species. This study also identifies India as a critical area of concern due to its large population and heavily polluted freshwater bodies. In addition, the impact of microplastic pollution on aquatic creatures and other living organisms is briefly discussed. The results of the experiment demonstrated how hydrophilic and hygroscopic polymers can be converted into microparticles, which subsequently spread into water bodies and contribute to pollution.

Originality/value
This study provides a valuable synthesis of the current state of research on microplastic contamination in freshwater systems, offering insights into the origins and distribution of these pollutants. It also underscores the significance of addressing microplastic pollution in India, thereby contributing to the global understanding of the issue and informing future research and policy initiatives.

PurposeThis paper aims to develop an Indonesian National Standard (SNI) Award model that follows university business operations while still considering the National Standard for Higher Education (NSHE) as mandatory standards and SNI standards based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as voluntary standards (SNI ISO).Design/methodology/approachWe used the case study method to investigate the phenomenon of completing the SNI Award questionnaire, interviewing informants and conducting remote observations on a sample of the university that had completed the desk and remote evaluation stages.FindingsThe SNI Award questionnaire responses revealed that they satisfactorily addressed only a portion of the SNI ISO questions. However, they typically alluded to the NSHE, internal quality assurance systems and university accreditation in their responses to the standard inquiries. To address this, we suggest a concept in which the SNI Award for higher education incorporates statutory and optional standards. As a result, universities may now more readily comprehend the questionnaire and its completion correctly and precisely using the model’s results. Additionally, we supplement the proposed model with a quality roadmap that outlines how universities attain national and worldwide excellence through standardization.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to the higher education SNI award category, which has a different set of educational standards than other educational organizations like elementary schools, junior and senior high schools and non-educational categories.Practical implicationsThe development of the SNI Award model offers leaders a pathway to enhance their organization’s SNI Award assessment score. This involves integrating mandatory standards and relevant SNI ISO standards, leveraging accreditation outcomes, international program accreditations and university rankings for the result criterion and, finally, utilizing a quality roadmap aligned with SNI ISO standards to attain organizational excellence and global competitiveness.Originality/valueThis paper’s findings bridge the existing research gap by offering empirical insights into assessing the SNI award model within the higher education framework.

AbstractA 60‐year‐old Japanese woman had a history of acneiform rashes and pruritus from age 20. She had sought medical attention at the age of 49 due to the progressive enlargement of the lesions. Despite various therapeutic interventions, including topical steroids and oral cyclosporine, the condition continued to worsen. Upon examination at age 60, erythematous areas with hyperkeratotic nodules were noted, and a dermoscopic evaluation revealed keratin plugs within the hair follicles. A histopathological analysis showed suprabasal acantholysis, with grains and corps ronds dispersed throughout the lesions. Genetic testing identified a non‐pathogenic variant in ATP2A2, which effectively excluded Darier's disease. We made the final diagnosis of warty dyskeratomas (WD). Human papillomavirus was not implicated. Notably, immunohistochemical analyses revealed the overexpression of SERCA2, which further supported the diagnosis of WD rather than Darier's disease. WD is a rare, benign, dermatological condition that typically affects middle‐aged women and is often localized to the scalp. While histologically similar to Darier's disease, WD lacks the pathogenic mutations in ATP2A2. Ultimately, the diagnosis of WD was confirmed in our patient through a comprehensive assessment of clinical, histopathological, and genetic findings.
The effect of auditor litigation risk on analyst coverage decisions: Evidence from a quasi‐experiment
Authors: Lu Louise , Sui Maiying , Wang Dongyue , Wu Yi (Ava) 
Published: February 2025

AbstractExploiting staggered state‐level shocks to third‐party auditor legal liability in the United States, we find that an exogenous increase in auditor litigation risk increases client firms' analyst following. The effect is more pronounced for firms with elevated litigation risk, greater forecast uncertainty, a more opaque information environment and those audited by auditors without industry expertise or with a history of poor audit quality. We also find that analysts are more likely to provide revenue and cash flows forecasts for the clients of auditors facing higher litigation risk. These findings highlight that increased auditor litigation risk enhances analysts' perception of audit quality.

Authors: Krause Amanda E. , Fletcher Heather 
Published: February 2025

AbstractObjectiveAs Australia boasts large radio listening audiences with high engagement among older adults, we examined Australian radio personnel's perceptions of their role in delivering radio and how it facilitates listener well‐being.MethodSemi‐structured individual interviews were conducted with 16 radio personnel affiliated with music‐ and talk‐based community and public stations broadcasting in Melbourne, Victoria.ResultsThematic analysis indicated two main themes: communication style (e.g. making listeners a part of the conversation, speaking to one'person and strong listening skills) and authenticity. Presenters focused on both creating and maintaining relationships as well as promoting community through their on‐air actions and programming. This inherently fostered connection and facilitated listener well‐being.ConclusionsThe findings have implications for considering how the radio can be used as a tool for enhancing quality of life and for how radio stations manage presenter training and programming changes to support listener connection.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe mopane worm (caterpillar stage of Gonimbrasia belina), a communally exploited edible insect, is a crucial component in the savanna ecosystems. Harvesting remains informal, largely unregulated, and mostly on communal and private land. Recent increases in demand have raised concerns about sustainability. This study takes the initial step toward developing sustainable harvest strategies by quantifying suitable habitat, estimating each country's contribution to total suitable habitat, estimating the effectiveness of protected areas to capture suitable habitat, and exploring predictor variables affecting the suitable habitat of mopane worms. We employed presence‐only modelling to develop an ensemble model that combines generalised additive models (GAM), maximum entropy (MaxEnt), and random forests (RF), resulting in both a full and a restricted ensemble model. The restricted model was constrained to the southern African mopane savannah (Colophospermum mopane) to evaluate potential populations that can sustain harvest within mopane savannah. The full and restricted ensemble models classified 15.1% and 40% of the model landscape as suitable for mopane worms, respectively. Under the restricted model, Zimbabwe contributed 26.8% to the suitable habitat, followed by Botswana (25.3%), South Africa (15.4%), Namibia (14.7%) and Mozambique (11.1%). A total of 36.2% of the suitable habitat fell within protected areas, while the remaining 63.2% fell in non‐protected areas. We conclude that local communities, governments and regional conservation authorities should address the harvest management of this communally exploited edible insect.
Technology Licensing With Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility in a Vertically Differentiated Duopoly
Authors: Li Dongdong , Lin Wenyao , Shang Chenxuan 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we study the impact of strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on the optimal licensing strategy for cost‐reducing technology in a vertically differentiated duopoly. We compare three types of licensing strategies—fixed fee, royalty, and two‐part tariff—under three CSR strategy structures: ST model (only firm 1 adopts a CSR strategy), TS model (only firm 2 adopts a CSR strategy), and SS model (both firms adopt CSR strategies). The results show that the licensor prefers fixed‐fee licensing when it adopts a CSR strategy (i.e., ST and SS) but opts for two‐part tariff licensing when it does not (i.e., TS). We also find that the optimal licensing contract leads to higher social welfare under the CSR compliance strategy than under the mixed CSR strategy. Finally, we show that firms endogenously choose the CSR compliance strategy.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAccess to child development allied health services is challenging in rural and remote areas. A companion review has described the types of models of care that are used to deliver these services and their impact on the quality of healthcare.ObjectiveThis review aimed to identify service drivers for, and barriers and enabling strategies to the delivery of these services.DesignA scoping review was conducted in alignment with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA methodology. Data from included citations were thematically organised to describe and connect drivers, enabling strategies and barriers.FindingsTwenty‐five citations met the inclusion criteria. Six key drivers were identified, four key enabling strategies and five key barriers.DiscussionMost models of care were driven by the need to address the inadequacy of child development allied health services. Place‐based strategies were described by most citations as key to enabling the delivery of new models of care. However, understanding the community's capacity for a new model of care was a prominent barrier to implementation.ConclusionFindings from this review highlight the complexities of devising and delivering new models of care for children in rural and remote areas with developmental needs. While place‐based approaches were the most widely adopted enabling strategy, these strategies presented their own challenges. Understanding community needs, capacity and assets from end‐user (including children) perspectives is complex but should underpin designing and implementing models of care.

Published: February 2025

SummaryIntroductionHigh levels of stress and burnout have been identified among resident anaesthetists in UK training programmes. Factors involving clinical roles, workplace culture and training are known stressors, but in‐depth research investigating how to improve wellbeing is limited.MethodsWe used a qualitative design in two phases with participants from across the UK. Phase 1 involved semi‐structured interviews of resident anaesthetists in the 2nd–5th years of training, and educational stakeholders. Phase 2 involved additional participants in two focus groups, one each for residents and stakeholders. Interviews and focus groups were conducted online, audio‐recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis using a framework approach.ResultsWe interviewed 52 participants in phase 1, comprising resident anaesthetists from England, Wales and Scotland and key educational stakeholders. A further 11 resident anaesthetists and stakeholders participated in the phase 2 focus groups. We identified four overarching themes contributing to stress: clinical work; non‐clinical work; structure of training; and workplace culture. We also identified supportive features at individual, local, regional and national levels. Stress and burnout were commonplace, particularly during demanding periods of training. Balancing non‐clinical commitments alongside busy workloads was difficult. Clinically, intensive care medicine and obstetrics generated the most stress. Frequent rotations and long commutes increased stress, impacting on working and family relationships. Curriculum changes, examinations and competition for higher training posts caused stress and poor morale. Proposed mechanisms to improve wellbeing include: peer‐to‐peer support; request‐based rotas; adoption of ‘lead employers’; decreasing rotation frequency and commuting distances; access to less than full‐time working and professional support; and adapting the structure of training to improve the stability of the resident anaesthetist workforce.DiscussionAttention to the factors identified as contributing to stress could improve resident anaesthetists' wellbeing through changes to policy and practice at local, regional and national levels, for which we make research‐informed recommendations.

Published: February 2025

AbstractIntroductionIn the UK, in addition to the recommended blood pressure check, women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are offered a postpartum six‐week check (SWC) with either a specialist or general practitioner. We aimed to describe the prevalence and disparities in the provision of SWC, and describe short‐term postpartum outcomes among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy by SWC status.Material and MethodsData were from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD for women aged 15–49 years at childbirth in 2000–2018, who were diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and were registered for ≥12 months postpartum. Trends in SWC prevalence and differences in characteristics and short‐term postpartum outcomes of women by SWC status were described. Multivariable modified Poisson regression was used to compute risk ratio of a SWC for severe hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.ResultsOf 30 483 women, 61.4% had a SWC. The proportion of women who received a SWC check was highest in 2007 (66.8%) but subsequently decreased. Women were less likely to have a SWC record if they were younger, of a minoritised ethnicity, living in more deprived areas, were multiparous, had severe hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, caesarean birth, or had a low birthweight baby. Compared to women who did not have a SWC, a higher proportion of women with SWC had their blood pressure recorded (SWC 47.4%, no SWC 39.9%), and had a diagnosis of postpartum depression (SWC 13.6%, no SWC 11.1%). There were no substantial differences in other short‐term postpartum outcomes by SWC status.ConclusionsThere may be missed opportunities in postpartum care among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Our findings highlight the need to ensure that general postpartum care is not overlooked in women with specific morbidities in pregnancy.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTSKA3, an important factor in cell cycle regulation, is involved in spindle assembly and kinetochore function, playing a critical role in maintaining cancer cell proliferation and division. However, its specific roles and regulatory mechanisms in cancer remain not fully understood. Large‐scale datasets from multiple public databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype‐Tissue Expression, covering various cancer types, were integrated. Systematic analysis revealed that SKA3 exhibits aberrant expression patterns in multiple cancers and is significantly associated with tumor progression and poor patient prognosis in certain cancers. We explored the status of SKA3 gene mutation, gene amplification and promoter region methylation in various tumors. In the context of immunotherapy, we assessed the value of SKA3 in cancer. Analyzing the correlation between SKA3 expression levels and immune checkpoints and immune cell infiltration, we discovered that SKA3 could serve as a novel immunotherapy biomarker across multiple cancers, guiding clinical immunotherapy decisions. Finally, SKA3 knockdown inhibited lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis. In conclusion, this study provides new insights into the role of SKA3 in cancer and offers significant theoretical and experimental evidence for its development as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.
No more NVivo! Dealing with coding frustrations in a study of contemporary Cambodian dance
Authors: Rogers Amanda 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis paper offers a short reflection on the analytical practice of coding a large number of interviews as part of a long‐term research project on the relationship between contemporary dance and national identity in Cambodia. It probes some of the assumptions that we make about ‘coding’ interviews and how we do it, particularly the idea of seemingly neat, sequential ordering of analytical steps, as well as when the moment of analysis occurs. Rather than present a conventional account of how coding works, I share instead some of my frustrations with the practice and how the difficult—and at times boring and overwhelming—work of coding affects how we understand its analytical possibilities. In so doing, I highlight that we should not assume that coding is easy or the obvious thing to do, regardless of the specificities and demands of our research projects.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe mTOR cascade is a critical player in the pathogenesis of focal epilepsies and cortical malformations, collectively referred to as mTORopathies. The Ras homolog enriched in brain (RHEB) gene is a member of the RAS‐family GTPases and a potent activator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex (mTORC1). Brain somatic variants in the RHEB gene have been described in patients affected by focal cortical dysplasia and hemimegalencephaly abnormalities. Conversely, germline genetic variants in the RHEB gene have been poorly reported in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. This study describes the phenotype of a patient with global developmental delay and epilepsy carrying a novel germline de novo heterozygous missense variant (c.71 T>C; p.Ile24Thr) in the RHEB gene. Previously reported patients are reviewed and compared to the case reported here, expanding the genotype and phenotype spectrum of mTORopathies.
