Published: January 2025

AbstractA large body of data indicate that the aminergic, cholinergic and hypocretin/orexin neurons are responsible for inducing wakefulness. However, recent data showed that other systems might also play a key role. Further, wakefulness induced by different drugs versus non-pharmacological means could be generated by different populations of neurons. To address these questions, we evaluated at the whole brain level in the same mice using TRAP2 model whether the same neurons were activated by the wake-inducing drugs modafinil and solriamfetol versus non-pharmacological wake. Our results show that several subcortical structures such as the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, central amygdalar nucleus, paraventricular hypothalamic and thalamic and supraoptic nuclei, lateral parabrachial nucleus and lateral reticular area (including its noradrenergic neurons) are significantly more activated by solriamfetol than modafinil and non-pharmacological wakefulness. In contrast, a second category of structures including the orexin neurons, the parasubthalamic and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus are strongly activated in all types of induced wake. Further, some classical wake systems like the dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area or the dorsal raphe nucleus and the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus are either very poorly or not strongly activated. These results reveal that many structures not previously involved in wakefulness might play a key role in regulating the state and that some structures might be more recruited by solriamfetol than modafinil or non-pharmacological wakefulness. Our results are particularly relevant for pathologies such as hypersomnia. They open a new era in the study of the mechanisms responsible for inducing wakefulness.
Interactions of Interaural Time and Level Differences in Spatial Hearing with Cochlear Implants

Published: January 2025

AbstractNormally hearing humans can localize sound sources quite accurately, with minimum audible angles as small as 1°. To achieve this, our auditory pathways combine information from multiple acoustic cues, including interaural time and interaural level differences (ITDs and ILDs). Patients relying on cochlear implants (CIs) to hear the world cannot match normal performance. These deficits are most pronounced in patients with little or no hearing experience early in life, and they appear to result from an impaired sensitivity to ITDs, but not to ILDs. However, little is known about how ITD and ILD sensitivities develop and interact in an early deafened auditory system shortly after CI implantation. We fitted neonatally deafened rats with bilateral CIs, and, providing informative ITDs and ILDs from stimulation onset, trained them to lateralize CI stimuli. These animals were exquisitely sensitive to both ILDs and ITDs of CI stimulus pulses, and combined information from both cues in a weighted sum. Importantly, ITDs are weighted heavily in our CI rats, such that only very modest ITDs pointing in one direction can confound quite large ILDs pointing in the opposite direction. This underlines the importance of informative ITDs for maximizing the potential for spatial hearing with CI devices.Abstract Figure
Begging costs rather than food received cause brood size effect on growth in zebra finches
Authors: Tangili Marianthi , Briga Michael , Verhulst Simon 
Published: January 2025

AbstractAltricial species rely on parental provisioning for early-life sustenance, and a larger brood size leads to higher levels of competition between siblings for food provided by the parents. Early-life stress can have severe and lifelong effects on Darwinian fitness. Indeed, it is well established that being reared in a larger brood impairs growth and fitness prospects of birds, but the mechanistic underpinnings of this effect are still largely unknown. Specifically, it is not well known to what extent the reduced growth and fitness prospects of nestlings reared in large broods is due to increased resource allocation to competition versus aper capitareduction in parental provisioning rate, or a combination of the two. We cross-fostered zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) chicks into small and large broods, and recorded their growth as well as the behavior of parents and offspring throughout the nestling period. As in previous experiments, growth rate was higher in small broods. In large broods, chicks begged more and parents invested more time feeding which more than compensated for the difference in brood size. We therefore conclude that the lower growth rate for nestlings raised in large broods must be attributed to increased energy expenditure on begging rather than a reduction in the amount of food received. These results suggest significant energetic costs associated with begging and raise the interesting possibility that brood size would not have negatively affected growth in large broods if chicks had not increased their begging effort due to increased levels of competition in nest.
The linkage between economic growth, debt servicing, pollution and health expenditures: panel evidence from 42 African countries
Authors: Fosu Prince , Eshun Joseph , Ankrah Twumasi Martinson 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study aims to examine the determinants of public healthcare spending in Africa, focusing on the impact of pollution, debt servicing, birth rates, life expectancy, GDP per capita and urbanization.Design/methodology/approachWe employed the fixed effect, IV GMM estimation and panel data of 42 African countries from 2000 to 2021 to examine the association between real GDP per capita, crude birth rate, debt servicing, CO2 emissions, population, urbanization and government healthcare expenditures.FindingsThe study result indicates that real GDP per capita, CO2 emissions and public debt servicing are the main determinants of government health expenditures in Africa. We again observed that income per capita and crude birth rate strongly impacted healthcare spending in upper-middle-income African countries more than in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, CO2 emissions have a more profound impact on healthcare spending in middle-income countries than in lower-income and upper-middle-income countries. Lastly, the association between debt servicing and health care expenditure is stronger for lower-income countries in Africa than for lower-middle- and upper-middle-income countries.Practical implicationsThe outcome of this study has significant implications for macroeconomic and health policy not only for African economies but also for other developing and emerging economies. We suggest that African leaders adopt policies that lead to sustained growth in real GDP per capita, thereby stimulating healthcare spending. Governments should prioritize policies that curb CO2 emissions and continue to remain creditworthy to external lenders to secure more funds needed to boost health infrastructure spending.Originality/valueWhile numerous studies have delved into the determinants of health expenditure, their focus has predominantly been on OECD and developed countries. Unfortunately, only a few studies have been done on African countries. Recent studies on the topic are scarce. The few recent studies on Africa related to the paper all seem to analyze how public healthcare expenditures affect health outcomes such as under-five mortality, life expectancy and maternal mortality. Our study is among the few studies analyzing the determinants of public healthcare expenditure in Africa.

The double-edged sword of ChatGPT: fostering and hindering creativity in postgraduate academics in Bengaluru
Authors: Rajan Shivakami , Niranjan L.R. 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis research examines the complex relationship between usage of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) amongst student and their creativity, learning and assessment using empirical data collected from postgraduate students. In addition, the study explores the student’s intrinsic motivation for usage to understand student categories. This research seeks to provide further insights into this artificial intelligence tool in enhancing the educational ecosystem for all stakeholders concerned.Design/methodology/approachThe target population of this research – the students of post-graduation in diverse fields of science and management. A five-point Likert scale-structured questionnaire adapted from earlier literature relevant to the research questions was adopted for data collection. The data were collected for two months, resulted in 403 usable responses. Ethical considerations of assurance of confidentiality to the participants were strictly adhered to. Structured equation modelling (SEM) was employed to explore the relationships between the constructs of the study for the assessment of latent relationships. SmartPLS 4 was used to explore these relationships.FindingsUsage has a negative impact on a student’s creativity, but increased usage of ChatGPT encourages a student’s adoption due to its perceived usability. Pedagogical applications of ChatGPT aid students as a learning tool but require controlled usage under supervision.Originality/valueThis study is innovative in the context of postgraduate students, where very little evidence of creativity exists. Through this research, the authors illuminate how ChatGPT use affects academic performance, benefiting educators as a tool but for evaluation and assessment, policymakers and students. The findings of the study provide implications that help to create effective digital education strategies for stakeholders.
Institutionally eclipsed organizational practices
Authors: Aksom Herman , Firsova Svitlana , Bilorus Tetiana , Olikh Lesya 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Institutional theory is focused on the prevalence of social value over economic imperatives in organizational life, but what happens when taken-for-granted practices offer neither technical nor institutional value at all? In this paper, the authors theorize an important but omitted in the organizational literature scenario and a class of institutionalized practices. The authors conceptualize them as institutionary eclipsed practices. The paper offers a theory of institutional shadow and institutional eclipsed practices that explains the remarkable persistence of institutions despite the obvious absence of value.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors offer a theoretical framework for studying institutional practices that have neither economic nor social value. The authors illustrate institutionally eclipsed practices with an example of educational organizations and practices, but the theory of institutional shadow developed in this paper goes beyond this case.

Findings
Organizations adopt global institutional standards for local organizational fields where different institutional norms prevail and different meanings and values are attached to these global institutions. In some cases, such institutions may lose their technical value and have no social (legitimizing) value in a new institutional context. Such practice is taken for granted, enacted, reproduced and maintained as necessary because it is encoded into the very institutional image of a profession (and social role). An institutionally eclipsed practice becomes a taken-for-granted, integral part of organizational members’ daily routines. Still, neither efficiency nor social benefits and value are offered by such a practice for organizational members. At the same time, as institutionalized practices are resistant and usually immune to technical, economic and social changes, they tend to endure and persist in organizations. Both a disintegrated practice and organizational members who enact it get into the limbo of the institutional shadow.

Originality/value
The authors distinguish and theorize three main conditions that allow institutionally eclipsed practices to emerge, proliferate and persist in organizations and across organizational fields. These factors include the presence of institutional meaning, the taken-for-granted quality (which means the immunity to technical, social and material changes) and the absence of contradictions. Together these three virtues allow institutionally eclipsed practices to be easily embedded into organizational contexts, being enacted by organizational members and avoiding abandonment and deinstitutionalization despite uselessness.
A strategic perspective on automated warehouse systems in retail: insights from a multiple case study
Authors: Kembro Joakim Hans , Norrman Andreas 
Published: January 2025

PurposeAs the warehouse is increasingly viewed as a strategic component, retailers’ willingness to invest in automated warehouse systems (AWS) has increased. These investment decisions are influenced by well-known operational factors, but strategic factors, which have received limited attention in warehousing literature, also play a pivotal role. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how strategic factors influence AWS investment decisions in retail.Design/methodology/approachBased on a theoretical foundation of technology adoption, strategic intent, and automation strategy, an abductive multiple case study is conducted with eight purposefully selected retailers that had implemented or were in the process of implementing a large AWS.FindingsThe study ranks 10 competitive priorities and 21 AWS evaluation aspects and shows how the firm’s strategic intent and the AWS investment decisions can be connected via the formulation of a warehouse automation strategy. The findings reveal the content for such a strategy – including 7 categories and 17 considerations – related to, for example, technology innovativeness, efficiency versus adaptiveness, technology-supplier relationships, control and ownership, and risk exposure. The study empirically shows how manager characteristics and owner strategies influence retailers’ AWS investment decisions. Four strategic intent profiles are abductively developed: reliability and delivery service; profitable deliveries; scalable logistics for volume growth; and platform building for logistics services. The study also provides evidence of a reciprocal relationship between strategic intent and AWS investment decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is conducted with a limited number of Swedish retailers, indicating a need for additional studies to test the findings across different contexts.Practical implicationsThe study offers a framework for formulating a warehouse automation strategy. As a foundation for developing the framework, the study shares empirical insights from retailers in the forefront of AWS implementation.Originality/valueThe study contributes as a conversation changer by showing the importance of shifting from a tactical-operational focus to a strategic perspective on warehouse configuration in general and on AWS investment decisions in retail in particular.

Beyond fixed and growth mindsets: a holistic approach to growth and learning in education
Authors: Kashi Shiri , Hod Yotam 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to address the complexities of fixed and growth mindsets within educational settings and critique traditional assessment methods and interventions used in mindset research. It aims to develop a comprehensive approach – encompassing methodology, conception and practice – that incorporates mindsets within a broader growth orientation framework.

Design/methodology/approach
This research uses a holistic case study analysis of 14 higher education students, emphasizing their personal growth narratives. A uniquely designed course draws on person- and idea-centered principles that provide a rich environment to facilitate students’ growth. The analytical approach moves beyond standard mindset questionnaires by integrating self-awareness, cognitive biases and personal growth factors into a multidimensional growth orientation framework.

Findings
Results suggest that traditional mindset metrics may be indirectly related to actual growth orientations due to the influence of cognitive biases. This study finds that typical short, focused interventions may fail to reflect true changes in mindset, as they often do not engage with the broader personal growth orientations of the individuals involved.

Originality/value
This research is original in its application of a holistic and comprehensive approach to studying growth in education. By contextualizing mindsets within enriched learning environments that promote deep reflection and knowledge building, it provides new insights into how educational practices and research methodologies can better support authentic and sustained growth in learners.
Decarbonization of remanufacturing processes in circular supply chains: case study on rubber recycling industry
Authors: Wang Ching-Hsin , Chen Chih-Han , Chen Chih-Cheng , Hsieh Hsi-Huang 
Published: January 2025

PurposeAt present, relevant studies on circular supply chains are gradually increasing. However, the majority only focus on precautions or obstacles in the implementation of supply chains, rather than delving deeper into the decarbonization of processes within circular supply chains. Therefore, this study took the rubber recycling industry as an example, highlighting the decarbonization of the manufacturing process for remanufactured products in this industry. Subsequently, a feasible framework for future practice was established, serving as a valuable reference for companies in the industry.Design/methodology/approachThis study first selected key factors from the initial aspects and criteria using the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), followed by ranking the importance of the selected aspects and criteria using fuzzy decision-making trail and evaluating laboratory (FDEMATEL).FindingsThis study has confirmed which directions the manufacturing processes of remanufactured products need to move toward so as to achieve the goal of decarbonization when implementing circular supply chains. The main aspects include environmental, social and economic benefits as well as value recovery. In addition, the main directions for implementing circular supply chains in the industry are cooperating with different supply chain partners, having effective reverse logistics systems, collaborating with multiple companies, optimizing technology and developing the industrial symbiosis network.Research limitations/implicationsResearch results vary due to industry differences. Although the results of this study can be used for reference in other high-pollution industries, they are unable to be perfectly in line with their current states. Therefore, more in-depth research is needed in the aspect of decarbonization for other industries.Originality/valueThe rubber recycling industry chosen by this study is different from general industries since its raw materials consist predominantly of waste. Therefore, it is an imperative trend to perform decarbonization in circular supply chains. This study establishes a novel framework to provide industry players and their stakeholders with clearer and more targeted implementation objectives for reference.
