Published: January 2025

PurposeThe service failure and recovery (SFR) research field has reached its maturity stage and is now at a critical juncture. There are growing calls for fresh perspectives and innovative approaches in SFR research to ensure its continued relevance and growth. The purpose of this paper is to identify boundary-breaking opportunities in SFR research by fundamentally challenging some of the central assumptions of the field.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs a unique “review of reviews” methodology to synthesise findings from 19 prior SFR reviews, complemented by an in-depth analysis of 116 primary articles published in the past five years.FindingsThis paper makes several contributions. First, it identifies and critically evaluates the central underlying assumptions of SFR, highlighting their inherent limitations in light of emerging conceptual and substantive developments. Second, it offers alternative perspectives that reframe these assumptions and open up new avenues for research. Third, within each alternative perspective, we propose specific research ideas that can benefit from further exploration. To develop the ideas, we build on recent conflicts and negative events in the marketplace. Our review of reviews approach also enables us to track how frequently such ideas have been proposed in prior reviews. Finally, the paper briefly discusses some methodological considerations for conducting more impactful research.Originality/valueThis paper leverages insights from prior SFR literature reviews and recent research and steeps into real-world marketing issues to challenge the central assumptions of the field and recommend future research avenues.
Blockchain in supply chains: an unfulfilled promise
Authors: Lustenberger Michael , Spychiger Florian 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper investigates the influence of blockchain technology on trust and transparency within supply chain management. While existing research suggests blockchain has revolutionary potential, real-world evidence remains limited. This study aims to bridge this gap.

Design/methodology/approach
The research relies on transaction cost analysis and principal-agent theory to develop a conceptual model. The model proposes how blockchain fosters trust and transparency, ultimately leading to a market-based governance model within supply chains. Five different blockchain applications were analyzed in a multi-case study through document reviews and expert interviews to test the model’s assumptions.

Findings
The study’s findings challenge initial assumptions. The complexity of blockchain networks and a reluctance to share information among participants hinder blockchain technology’s ability to increase trust and transparency. Consequently, the expected reduction in opportunism and uncertainties is not observed, and a market-based governance model fails to materialize. In practice, supply chain partners gravitate toward permissioned blockchains managed by established consortia. Acting as trusted third parties, these consortia assume control over network management, rendering blockchain essentially unnecessary.

Originality/value
This paper sheds light on the practical limitations of blockchain technology in revolutionizing supply chain management. While blockchain promises much, the findings suggest that established consortia currently play a more critical role in fostering trust and transparency within supply chains.
Selective disappearance based on navigational efficiency in a long‐lived seabird

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Whilst efficient movement through space is thought to increase the fitness of long‐distance migrants, evidence that selection acts upon such traits remains elusive. Here, using 228 migratory tracks collected from 102 adult breeding common terns (Sterna hirundo) aged 3–22 years, we find evidence that older terns navigate more efficiently than younger terns and that efficient navigation leads to a reduced migration duration and earlier arrival at the breeding and wintering grounds.

We additionally find that the age‐specificity of navigational efficiency in adult breeding birds cannot be explained by within‐individual change with age (i.e. learning), suggesting the selective disappearance of less navigationally efficient individuals.

This suggests that, at least in common terns, learning of navigational skills may be largely absent in adulthood, and limited to the pre‐breeding phase of life where tracking is more difficult.

We propose that selection might explain parts of the age‐specificity of navigational performance observed in migratory taxa more generally; discuss the causes and evolutionary implications of variation in navigational traits and the selective agents acting upon them; and highlight the necessity of longitudinal studies when considering changes in behaviour with age.
First Record of the Green Thorny‐Tail Iguana Uracentron azureum guentheri (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in the Tapajós/Xingú Interfluve Brazilian Amazonia

ABSTRACTThe lizard genus Uracentron, family Tropiduridae, is composed of the species Uracentron flaviceps (Guichenot, 1855) and Uracentron azureum (Linnaeus, 1758). Both species have arboreal habits and are endemic to the Amazon. Here we report a new geographical record of Uracentron azureum guentheri from western Pará State, Brazil, and the first record for the species in the Tapajós/Xingú interfluve. Two specimens were recorded in a fragment of secondary forest on the right bank of the Curuá‐Una River, downstream of the Curuá‐Una Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, in Santarém, Pará, Brazil. The specimen has colour and morphological features that fit guentheri subspecies. With this new record, Uracentron azureum guentheri is now known in 15 locations in Peru (Loreto department) and Brazil (Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia States), expanding its distribution approximately 209 km southeast of the nearest previously known location (Oriximiná Municipality). Recording and reporting such new geographical records is essential since it allows distribution gaps to be filled and is important for understanding biodiversity patterns, speciation processes and phenotypic variations, as well as contributing to conservation planning. The identification of priority areas for protection can be improved with such data, helping to reduce environmental impacts and preserve local biodiversity.
The effect of result‐based agri‐environmental payments on biodiversity: Evidence from Switzerland
Authors: Schaub Sergei , Roth Tobias , Bonev Petyo 
Published: January 2025

AbstractWe estimate the effects of result‐based agri‐environmental payments on biodiversity using a unique dataset containing information about plant vegetation. The data include information on surveyed plant species for a large number of randomly selected plots followed over a period of 20 years in Switzerland. In our estimation, we utilize a difference‐in‐discontinuities approach based on exogenous variation in payments triggered by (i) a policy reform in Switzerland that led to a considerable increase in payments that was uncertain prior to the implementation and (ii) an administrative threshold of reform that defines eligibility for payment depending on the botanical quality. We find that the increase in result‐based payments led to an increase in the biodiversity of plots that were almost eligible for the payments before the reform but not for plots that already satisfied the eligibility criteria. Our findings have important implications for the design of result‐based payments.
Social Reproduction and the Housing Question
Authors: Madden David 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThere is broad recognition today that there is a link between the crisis of social reproduction and the housing problem. But their precise relationship is not always clear. This paper is an attempt to clarify their connection. Housing, this paper argues, is not merely the location or container of the crisis of social reproduction. Rather, there are elements of the contemporary housing system which intensify and shape the crisis of social reproduction. Drawing on feminist political economy and critical housing research, this paper identifies four major pathways by which the housing system exacerbates the crisis of social reproduction: depletion, disruption, redomestication, and recommodification. It also considers housing as a site for repoliticising social reproduction. Ultimately, the paper argues that a complete account of the housing question cannot ignore social reproduction as a political‐economic process.
Femmes sans enfant par circonstance de la vie: partage d'experiences en ligne et production de Soi
Authors: Charton Laurence 
Published: January 2025

RÉSUMÉDans le parcours des femmes, la maternité reste socialement valorisée, et dans ce contexte certaines femmes sans enfant sont confrontées à une souffrance personnelle et à une stigmatisation familiale et sociale. Face à cette situation, certaines d'entre elles prennent l'initiative de joindre des groupes de discussion sur Internet pour partager leurs expériences. À partir de témoignages de Québécoises involontairement infécondes, cet article examine comment des groupes de discussion en ligne leur ont permis de se regrouper, de se soutenir, mais aussi de dénoncer les formes de dévaluation subies dans la sphère sociale et intime, et de revendiquer leur rôle et leur place spécifiques dans leur famille et leur société. Cet article vise aussi à montrer plus largement comment la participation à des groupes de discussion en ligne peut contribuer, en tant que lieu d’échanges, de partagels et de soutien, à la transformation des modalités de construction d'une identité personnelle et familiale.
Experiences of Young People Leaving Children's Homes as a Form of Institutional Care: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Kelebek Özge , Kucur Fatih 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn Türkiye, there are very few studies examining the outcomes of children's homes, which are institutional care services where children/young people in need of protection are cared for, in terms of independent living. This study was designed in line with the question of how young people who have left these homes experience independent living and based on data obtained through in‐depth interviews with a total of 20 young people, 10 men and 10 women, aged between 18 and 24. The young people had experienced children's homes for at least 3 years and had left the children's homes at least 1 year ago. The findings of this research are presented through three main themes: ‘leaving care’, ‘receiving social support’ and ‘receiving public support: employment’. As a result of the research, it was revealed that care leavers may face some problems in aftercare in terms of their age and experiences and may need social support mechanisms and healthy socialization experiences.

ABSTRACTVasculogenic mimicry (VM) represents a novel form of angiogenesis discovered in numerous malignant tumours in recent years. Unlike traditional angiogenesis, VM facilitates tumour blood supply independently of endothelial cells by enabling tumour cells to form functional vascular networks. This phenomenon, where tumour cells replace endothelial cells to form tubular structures, plays a pivotal role in tumour growth and metastasis. Tumour progression is influenced by a variety of factors, including immune components. The immune system serves as a critical defence mechanism by identifying and eliminating abnormal entities, such as tumour cells. This inevitably reminds us of the intricate connection between the immune system and VM. Indeed, in recent years, some studies have shown that immune responses and related immune cells play different regulatory roles in the formation of VM. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive discussion on the mechanisms underlying VM formation, its interplay with the immune system, and the potential of leveraging immunotherapy to target VM.

ABSTRACTChronic inflammation in the tumour microenvironment (TME) via Th2‐polarisation promotes melanoma progression and metastasis, making it a target for immunotherapy. Interleukin (IL)‐4 is considered essential for Th2‐polarisation in the TME; however, its source remains unknown. Basophils have been postulated as one of its sources. Basophil‐derived IL‐4 contributes to Th2‐polarisation in parasitic infections and allergic diseases and has been implicated in tumour immunity. To identify basophil infiltration into the TME of human melanoma skin lesions and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and demonstrate that basophils produce IL‐4. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a basophil‐specific BB1 antibody and in situ hybridisation. Basophils tended to infiltrate skin lesions at Stage II or later. Higher numbers of infiltrating basophils correlated with the Breslow depth and a shorter progression‐free survival, indicating an association with poor prognosis. In SLNs, basophils infiltrated at early stages without metastasis (Stages I and II), with the number of infiltrating basophils being significantly higher in Stage II than in Stage I. IHC revealed that IL‐4 levels were also significantly elevated in Stage II SLNs compared to Stage I SLNs. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the number of basophils infiltrating SLNs and IL‐4 expression. In situ hybridisation confirmed that basophils expressed IL4. These findings are consistent with previous reports of early‐stage melanoma SLNs having a Th2‐environment and suggest that basophil‐derived IL‐4 may contribute to a metastasis‐promoting environment in SLNs through Th2‐polarisation. Basophils may represent potential immunotherapeutic targets for pro‐tumour changes that occur in SLNs in early‐stage melanoma.

ABSTRACTStomata control plant water loss and photosynthetic carbon gain. Developing more generalized and accurate stomatal models is essential for earth system models and predicting responses under novel environmental conditions associated with global change. Plant optimality theories offer one promising approach, but most such theories assume that stomatal conductance maximizes photosynthetic net carbon assimilation subject to some cost or constraint of water. We move beyond this approach by developing a new, generalized optimality theory of stomatal conductance, optimizing any non‐foliar proxy that requires water and carbon reserves, like growth, survival, and reproduction. We overcome two prior limitations. First, we reconcile the computational efficiency of instantaneous optimization with a more biologically meaningful dynamic feedback optimization over plant lifespans. Second, we incorporate non‐steady‐state physics in the optimization to account for the temporal changes in the water, carbon, and energy storage within a plant and its environment that occur over the timescales that stomata act, contrary to previous theories. Our optimal stomatal conductance compares well to observations from seedlings, saplings, and mature trees from field and greenhouse experiments. Our model predicts predispositions to mortality during the 2018 European drought and captures realistic responses to environmental cues, including the partial alleviation of heat stress by evaporative cooling and the negative effect of accumulating foliar soluble carbohydrates, promoting closure under elevated CO2. We advance stomatal optimality theory by incorporating generalized evolutionary fitness proxies and enhance its utility without compromising its realism, offering promise for future models to more realistically and accurately predict global carbon and water fluxes.

ABSTRACTHigh spatial or temporal variability in community composition makes it challenging for natural resource managers to predict ecosystem trajectories at scales relevant to management. This is commonly the case in nearshore marine environments, where the frequency and intensity of disturbance events vary at the sub‐kilometer to meter scale, creating a patchwork of successional stages within a single ecosystem. The successional stage of a community impacts its stability, recovery potential, and trajectory over time in predictable ways. Here we demonstrate the value of successional theory for interpreting fine‐scale community heterogeneity using Hawaiian coral reefs as a case study. We tracked benthic community dynamics on 36 forereefs over a 6‐year period (2017–2023) that captures impacts from high surf events, a marine heatwave, and unprecedented shifts in human behavior due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. We document high spatial variation in benthic community composition that was only partially explained by island and environmental regime. Through hierarchical clustering, we identify three distinct community types that appear to represent different successional stages of reef development. Reefs belonging to the same community type exhibited similar rates of change in coral cover and structural complexity over time, more so than reefs located on the same island. Importantly, communities that were indicative of early succession (low coral cover reefs dominated by stress‐tolerant corals) were most likely to experience an increase in coral cover over time, while later‐stage successional communities were more likely to experience coral decline. Our findings highlight the influence of life history and successional stage on community trajectories. Accounting for these factors, not simply overall coral cover, is essential for designing effective management interventions. Site‐specific management that accounts for a community's unique composition and history of disturbance is needed to effectively conserve these important ecosystems.

ABSTRACTTo improve mental health, diverse mobile applications (apps) have been developed to target those who actively use smartphones and in‐phone apps. In this vein, this study developed a mobile app, eRAPPORT, to prevent suicide using ecological momentary assessment and intervention. A brief literature review and mobile app market search were conducted to determine the app's content and modality. The design and contents of eRAPPORT were developed through consulting with contextual and methodological experts for end‐users' need assessment and technician review. For implementation, an experienced mobile app developer collaborated with the research team to create the app, which includes a safety plan, a feature to track suicidal risk and mental health status, evidence‐based information from international and national authorised organisations, an outreach service with online/offline counselling and pop‐ups displaying emergency contacts. Twenty‐five general adults participated in the feasibility study. After using eRAPPORT for a month, they completed a self‐reported questionnaire, followed by an in‐depth interview of functionality, acceptability and safety. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluations assured the moderate level of usability and acceptability due to some features that should be improved before applying those with a high risk of suicide. No critical adverse event was reported. Thus, this eRAPPORT feasibility study provides fundamental information to describe the patient‐centred processes on how to develop a mobile app for suicide prevention. Further study will be conducted to test the app's effectiveness and determine the application in clinical practice for monitoring and preventing suicide risk by collecting real‐time and longitudinal data.

AbstractElectric vehicles (EVs) offer significant potential for advancing sustainable environmental goals. However, their widespread adoption has been concentrated in urban areas, raising challenges for interurban travel. In many countries, charging station networks are primarily located within cities, highlighting a key opportunity for expansion to support longer distance journeys. This article addresses the facility location problem for EV charging stations to enable interurban travel. We propose a multiobjective optimization model based on the flow refueling location model with three objectives: maximizing CO2 emissions reduction, minimizing total costs, and reducing user charging time. The model is solved using an epsilon constraint approach, and Mexico's charging station network is used as a case study. Through computational experiments, various scenarios are evaluated, and a comparative analysis is performed between electric and internal combustion vehicles. Results show that deploying 20 strategically located charging stations could mitigate 3.1 million tons of CO2, requiring an investment of nearly USD 3.9 million.
