Representation of Swedish LGBTQ+ fiction in commercial information services
Authors: Golub Koraljka , Ocic Ihrmark Daniel 
Published: February 2025

PurposeMany end users turn to Google Books and social tagging services to identify books of interest. How successful they are will depend on subject indexing applied in these services (among other factors). The study aimed to determine: (1) to what degree are Queerlit books identified as LGBTQ+ books in widely used information services, in particular Google Books, LibraryThing and Goodreads; and, (2) whether metadata in these information services could be considered of value for the Queerlit database and complement its highly extensive and highly specific indexing.Design/methodology/approachThe study compared keywords (subject index terms, tags) assigned to works of Swedish LGBTQ+ fiction across three commercial services: Google Books, Goodreads and LibraryThing, against the curated database, Queerlit.FindingsOf the 1320 LGBTQ+ works in Queerlit, only a small portion was found in the three web services: 8.26% on Google Books (n = 109), 13.26% on Goodreads (n = 175), while about half on LibraryThing (55.3%, n = 730). This underrepresentation of Swedish LGBTQ+ works in the three international commercial information services makes them hardly of value to the readers. This is exacerbated by the fact that only a minority of Queerlit books found in the three services are categorised as LGBTQ+. The Queerlit database might benefit from consulting social tagging services when indexing both LGBTQ+ specific and general themes.Originality/valueNo earlier study compared in a systematic manner four different information retrieval systems and identified challenges as well as potential benefits in relation to finding LGBTQ+ fiction.

Authors: Ayodele Temitope Rasheed 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
There are many obstacles that prevent the growth and investment in smart buildings, particularly in Nigeria and other developing nations. The lack of awareness and expertise regarding smart building in Nigeria and other developing nations is arguably the big threat to their development. This study aims to look at the cost analysis, which is a challenge to smart building implementation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a quantitative research approach, with a questionnaire survey administered to professionals in the Federal Capital Development Authority, using the random sampling method. Collected data were analysed using descriptive analysis, recording the mean item score to rank the variables.

Findings
The findings highlight the need for cost-effective solutions. It was revealed that all hardware part of the smart building elements is the most expensive cost incurred in the construction of a smart building, while the high cost is also the most encountered challenge to implementation of smart buildings in Abuja.

Research limitations/implications
The research highlights challenges in implementing smart technologies in Nigeria, recommending policymakers to develop incentives like tax rebates and subsidies for energy-efficient buildings. Integrating smart building concepts into national building codes can encourage widespread adoption. Future research should explore socio-economic impacts and provide recommendations for enhancing integration. Cost analysis should be used to eliminate cost implications, and construction should be based on market surveys to avoid overruns. Construction professionals should educate clients about smart building construction instead of traditional ones. Limitations include time constraints and a lack of documentation culture in Nigeria.

Practical implications
This research produces a cost analysis that can help to influence the decision of builders with a pre-known cost estimates of smart building elements. As part of the broader global sustainability goals, smart building contribute to reducing resource consumption and enhancing energy management. It’s essential for all parties involved in construction to have the adequate knowledge required for the improved practice in the Nigerian construction industry, smart building is at the foremost of construction, which necessitate research of this nature.

Originality/value
This study will help inform researchers that intend to build on this body of knowledge about the state of smart building implementation in Abuja, Nigeria. Furthermore, students will have better access to more information about the field of study.

Review on sustainable, eco-friendly novel reinforcing fillers for rubber composites
Authors: Shafik Emad S. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This review aims to present the problems facing the rubber industry, including a shortage of raw materials such as fillers and ways to overcome them by finding renewable, environmentally friendly natural alternatives that can be used as fillers in the rubber industry, with the aim of preserving the environment from pollution and reducing the cost of products. This research also presents new varieties of eco-friendly and renewable fillers for rubber composites including agricultural waste, biochar and biofiller and also presents methods of treating them to improve the mechanical properties of the composites.

Design/methodology/approach
Agricultural waste is a sustainable energy resource that possesses various potential applications, such as its utilization in the production of construction materials and multifunctional components for automobiles. Researchers have focused on how to channel agricultural waste fibers into valuable materials while preserving environmental and human health by considering their potential for industrial use. These fillers have an excellent chance to replace or supplement the current carbon black derived from petroleum or the undesirable bulky mineral fillers. To improve the efficiency of waste natural fibers in rubber composites, several types of surface treatment techniques have been investigated including alkaline treatment, silane treatment and permanganate treatment.

Findings
Adding 10 phr of cereal straw to natural rubber increases the tensile strength and hardness compared to blank natural rubber, as the tensile strength increased from 13.53 MPa for natural rubber to 15.3 for rubber containing 10 phr of untreated cereal straw filler and became 19.6 MPa in the case of using filler treated with peroxide. Also, tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation at break of the kenaf fiber-filled natural rubber composites are higher for composites with silane coupling agent. The utilization of sustainable biofillers as reinforcement in rubber composites has shown promising results in enhancing the performance of tires and other rubber products.

Originality/value
This review presents a new approach to evaluating the effect of using eco-friendly and sustainable reinforcing fillers for the rubber industry to preserve the environment and reduce production costs.
Consistency and discrepancy in fine art investment: upward bias in investors’ expectation
Authors: Ryu Jiye , Ahn Keunbae , Robertson Iain , Hong Kihoon 
Published: February 2025

PurposeArt investment is generally believed to be risky with a high expected return. In this paper, we empirically find that art investors’ behavior is consistent with this general belief, showing consistency between their perception and behavior.Design/methodology/approachUsing the Fama–French asset pricing factor models, we conduct an empirical investigation into fine arts investment in relation to financial risk factors. The risk and return profiles of art investments are then compared with those of traditional investments to determine alignment with investor perceptions.FindingsWe find that art investment is riskier than other traditional assets but does not provide enough financial gain to compensate the art investor, which indicates that it is not as attractive as it is believed. While there is consistency between art investors’ perception and behavior, there is also a discrepancy between their perception and reality.Originality/valueThe research identifies potential reasons for this misperception and highlights the non-monetary benefits and hidden sources of utility, suggesting that art investors may still be rational despite the less attractive financial performance compared to traditional assets.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo compare the risk of adverse perinatal and neonatal outcomes between individuals with poor ovarian response (POR) and those with normal ovarian response (NOR) following in vitro fertilisation (IVF).DesignA prospective single‐centre observational study.SettingUniversity hospital.PopulationOverall, 1663 patients who underwent embryo transfer cycles between June 2017 and August 2019 were evaluated.MethodsThe patients were divided into the POR and NOR groups based on the Bologna diagnostic criteria. The risk of perinatal and neonatal complications was then compared between groups with adjustment made for confounding factors.Main Outcome MeasuresThe risk of perinatal and neonatal complications between the POR and NOR groups.ResultsCompared with the NOR group, the POR group had poor pregnancy outcomes but comparable overall risks of poor perinatal and neonatal outcomes. The overall incidence rate of complications was 25.42% and 25.30% in the POR and NOR groups respectively [risk ratio (RR): 1.01; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63–1.59]. In subgroup analysis of singleton live births, the overall risk of total complications was higher in the POR group than in the NOR group (24.07% vs. 15.21%; RR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.04–3.00); however, the risks became comparable between them after logistic regression adjustment.ConclusionsThe overall risk of perinatal and neonatal complications among singleton live births was higher in patients with POR than in those with NOR; however, the risks became similar after logistic regression adjustment. Our findings provide overall comforting evidence for POR patients with IVF treatment.

Published: February 2025

Plain Language SummaryCongenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) are malformations of the uterus (womb) that develop during fetal life. When a female baby is in her mother's uterus, her uterus develops as two separate halves from two tubular structures called Müllerian ducts, which fuse together before she is born. Anomalies that occur during the baby's development can be variable, from complete absence of the uterus through to more subtle anomalies, which are classified into specific categories. While conventional ultrasound is good at detecting CUAs, 3D ultrasound is used to confirm a diagnosis. If a complex uterine anomaly is suspected, additional investigations may be used, including MRI scanning, laparoscopy (where a camera is inserted into the cavity of the abdomen) and/or hysteroscopy (where a camera is placed in the uterine cavity). As there can be a link between CUAs and anomalies of the kidney and bladder, scans of these organs are also usually requested.Although CUAs are present at birth, adult women typically do not have any symptoms, although some may experience painful periods. Most cases of CUA do not cause difficulties in becoming pregnant, and the outcome of pregnancy, in most cases, is good. However, these uterine anomalies are often discovered during investigations for infertility or miscarriage. Moreover, depending upon the type and severity of CUA, there may be increased risk of first and second trimester miscarriages, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction (smaller and lighter babies for the stage of pregnancy), pre‐eclampsia (development of high blood pressure and protein in urine after the 20th week of pregnancy) and fetal malpresentation (baby not facing head‐first down the birth canal) at birth. Surgical treatment may be considered for those who have had recurrent miscarriages and have a septate uterus, i.e. the uterine cavity is divided by a partition. In this case, surgery may reduce the chances of miscarriage. However, women should be informed that there is inconclusive and conflicting evidence regarding the improved likelihood of live births in this context. Further evidence from large randomised controlled trials are required to provide conclusive evidence‐based recommendations for surgical treatment for septate uterus. Surgical treatment for other types of CUAs is not usually recommended as the risks outweigh potential benefits, and evidence for any benefits is lacking. Women with CUAs may be at an increased risk of preterm birth even after surgical treatment for a septate uterus. These people, if suspected to be at an increased risk of preterm birth based on the severity of CUA, should be followed up using an appropriate protocol for preterm birth as outlined in UK Preterm Birth Clinical Network Guidance.
Redefining the documentation of outdoor surface scatter scenes using geographic information systems
Authors: Pottage Katie , Masters Peter , Márquez‐Grant Nicholas 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe field of forensic archaeology has been primarily associated with the search, location, and excavation of clandestine graves, and thus, other deposition types have been commonly neglected in research. Current literature typically addresses the use of traditional methods implemented for the excavation and recovery of human remains from clandestine graves but fails to provide the same for surface scatter scenes. This study aimed to explore the documentation of such scenes through the integration of traditional archaeological techniques, geophysical surveying techniques, and GIS. A mixed method study was created and utilized in three different simulated scatter scenes, allowing the qualitative and quantitative scope of GIS to be examined and assessed. The techniques were utilized successively and iterated until all simulated scenes had been documented. Within this study, terrain was the independent variable—this was nonrandomized and chosen to best suit sites where scatter scenes are most prevalent. Results demonstrated GIS to be an effective method in the documentation of contextual data at a forensic surface scatter scene, providing both qualitative and quantitative data. Such findings aid in understanding the admissibility of each technique in court and its impact on a case when presented as evidence. This research revealed that further exploration of surveying techniques in sites other than clandestine graves is necessary for forensic archaeology practice.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe objective of this study was to examine the influence of chocolate formulation (sweetener and color) on consumer sensory acceptance and emotional response across two consumer populations, Brazilian and Polish. White chocolate samples (n = 10) were formulated with differences in sweetener (sucrose, rebaudioside A) and color (red, blue, yellow, green). Along with a trained panel, consumers in Brazil (n = 120) and Poland (n = 120) evaluated chocolate samples for liking and associated emotions. Color was not found to influence sweetness or flavor perception, indicating the absence of cross‐modal influence. However, the yellow‐colored chocolate was liked less than the blue, green, or red chocolate. Emotions were a stronger driver of product liking in the Brazilian population compared to the Polish consumers. This research shows the influence of color on consumers perception, with implications of using natural colors in chocolate production and “yellowing” in white chocolate.Practical ApplicationsThe recipe may be used in chocolate manufacturing to produce free‐sugar chocolate targeted to consumers with health conditions, such as diabetes. Our research also gives the solution for practical application of natural dyes to white chocolate to cover the problematic “yellowing,” which is considered defect of this product and results in the low consumer acceptance. The dyes that are suggested to add are of red, green, or blue color due to high acceptability of consumers from different countries.
Uncovering the sensory properties of commercial and experimental clean label almond milks
Authors: Ong Jane Jun‐Xin , Hallstrom Jessica , de Moura Bell Juliana M. L. N , Delarue Julien 
Published: February 2025

AbstractAlmond milk is the largest category of plant‐based milk alternatives in the United States, and it is manufactured by suspending ground almond paste in water. Nevertheless, this method limits the amount of almonds that can be added to almond milk, and most almond milks on the market have low protein despite almonds themselves being nutritionally dense. The use of sustainable aqueous and enzyme‐assisted aqueous extraction processes offers an alternative method for producing almond milks with enhanced nutritional content. However, it is currently unclear how the sensory properties of such milks compare to those of commercial almond milks. In this study, we conducted a sensory descriptive analysis with 14 trained panelists on 12 commercial almond milk samples and 14 formulated ones (seven aqueous and seven enzyme‐assisted aqueous extracted milks). The purpose of this study was to understand how sensorially diverse commercial almond milks are, as well as to determine how aqueous and enzyme‐assisted aqueous extracted almond milks compare to commercial methods. We found that formulated samples were significantly different from commercial products, and that all commercial products could be distinguished from each other. Furthermore, commercial milks were more differentiated than were formulated samples. Given the sensory diversity of almond milks on the market, this study suggests that there is potential for introducing new products in the almond milk category. Finally, this study also showed that descriptive analysis can be successfully conducted with two distinct groups of products in the same panel.Practical ApplicationThe almond milk category is highly diverse in terms of sensory characteristics, presenting opportunities to develop new products that offer unique sensory experiences distinct from those of existing products.
