Enhance domestic tourists’ revisit intention in spiritual destinations originating in patriotism and religious orientation
Authors: Nguyen-Viet Bang , Nguyen My Phuc , Dang-Van Thac 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study investigates the impact of religious orientation and patriotism on domestic tourists’ intention to revisit spiritual destinations through two distinct studies: (1) religious sites and historical landmarks and (2) cultural heritage locations.Design/methodology/approachUsing convenience sampling, Study 1 (religious orientation) collected data from 445 Vietnamese tourists, and Study 2 (patriotism) collected data from 492 Vietnamese tourists. Spiritual elements were examined through social identity theory (SIT) and patriotism through the theory of reasoned action (TRA). The cognitive-affective-behavioral (CAB) model serves as the framework for both analyses. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.FindingsBoth patriotism and religious orientation had a positive indirect impact on domestic tourists’ intention to return. While attitudes toward development served as the sole mediator between patriotism and revisit intention, multiple factors mediated the relationship between religious orientation and revisit intention.Practical implicationsReligious marketing campaigns can enhance the destination image of churches and temples, thereby strengthening domestic tourists’ intention to revisit. Programs emphasizing patriotism should be organized to encourage the intention to revisit cultural and historical heritage sites.Originality/valueThis study on spirituality tourism conducted a comparative analysis of two case studies by focusing on the interplay between religious orientation and patriotism regarding revisiting intention by employing frameworks of the SIT, TRA and CAB models. It enriches the existing literature and theoretical foundations of spiritual tourism and provides valuable insights for local policymakers by highlighting the distinctions between the effects of religion and patriotism.
The intellectual legacy of Erving Goffman in management studies: a citation context analysis
Authors: Sun Zhongyuan , Ren Yutian , Li Yilan 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to examine Erving Goffman’s contributions to management, arguing that he is an unrecognized management guru despite being widely regarded as a sociological theorist.

Design/methodology/approach
Using citation context analysis, this research analyzes 806 articles citing Goffman’s works across eight major management journals. This method involves coding articles from various perspectives, including the content itself, its temporal dynamics, depth and criticalness.

Findings
All 11 of Goffman’s books have been cited in management studies with increasing frequency and depth, supporting theories such as impression management and stigma management. Yet, only 10.8% of these articles provide empirical support, and 1.6% challenge his ideas, indicating a ritualistic reverence rather than rigorous scrutiny of his theories in management scholarship.

Research limitations/implications
This study excludes other high-quality journals and involves subjective judgment in coding. In addition, this study’s insights into Goffman’s selective attention and growing prominence remain speculative. Future research could broaden journal coverage, survey scholars’ citation motivations, and apply a difference-in-differences approach to identify causal factors.

Social implications
Goffman’s concepts of stigma, impression management and framing are frequently cited by management scholars, reflecting societal concerns for marginalized groups and a quest for authenticity, thus prompting deeper exploration of Goffman’s seminal works.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to empirically analyze his impact on management, offering new insights into his influence in the field.
A leading error compensation method for weld seam tracking based on dual-sensing and dual-wavelength
Authors: Xu Zhenzhi , Lv Na , Liu Qiang , Zhao Hui 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Leading error in line laser weld seam tracking significantly affects tracking accuracy. This paper aims to propose an accurate and reliable compensation method without increasing system complexity for weld seam tracking to improve tracking precision.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the line laser seam tracking method, the seam image is simultaneously captured to obtain the angle offset of the seam relative to the sensor direction, which is then combined with the leading distance to calculate the leading error. The two sensing methods use different wavelengths and are captured simultaneously by a color industrial camera. The images of the two different wavelengths can be separated by extracting the RGB components, and the compensated tracking results are obtained after image processing.

Findings
The results of static positioning experiment indicate that the average absolute error in weld seam positioning is reduced to 0.099 mm after compensation. The real-time tracking experiments demonstrate that the proposed method preserves tracking accuracy even with changes in the sensor’s angle of deviation during welding, with the average absolute error being 0.248 mm. This method effectively enhances the precision of line laser weld seam tracking when the sensor exhibits a deviation relative to the welding direction.

Originality/value
By using the dual-sensing and dual-wavelength method for leading error compensation, the method effectively addresses the leading error issue while maintaining the advantages of the line laser seam tracking method.

Abstract

The coexistence of tree species in tropical forests has remained challenging to explain, characterise and predict with simple theoretical models. To address this phenomenon researchers have focused on processes and factors omitted in simple competition models. Meantime, theoretical considerations of simple models have sought out conditions for stable coexistence of many species. Here we show that a simple competition model parameterised using repeated forest tree inventory data can estimate the stable coexistence of numerous tree species and predict their biomass abundance and productivity in equilibrium communities.

We apply a simple Lotka–Volterra competition model to describe species aboveground biomass, and employ leaf biomass as a proxy for exploitative competition among species. In such systems a globally stable multispecies equilibrium arises when, for every species, susceptibility of biomass growth to conspecific (same species) leaf biomass exceeds that to heterospecific leaf biomass. We applied this approach to tree species in the Pasoh 50‐ha plot of Malaysian lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. We parameterised species aboveground biomass productivity by tree growth, by recruitment, and losses from tree mortality. Biomass gains minus losses yields the biomass growth of each species population. Using variation in leaf biomass among quadrat subplots, we estimated the susceptibility of productivity by tree growth to conspecific and heterospecific leaf biomass.

Our model analyses with plot census data predicted the stable coexistence of 351 of the 487 tree species assessed. Susceptibility to conspecific versus heterospecific leaf biomass was greater across all species (median: 95 times). The implied effect of conspecific competition appears to reflect ontogeny, that is declining relative tree growth with tree size. The equilibrium biomasses for predicted persistent species were broadly similar to observations. Removal of species indicates that ecosystem biomass and productivity at equilibrium increases asymptotically with species richness.

Synthesis. Our analyses with a simple model provide a range of non‐trivial insights into tree species coexistence, community structure and ecosystem stability within a species‐rich rainforest. The insights available from such simple models provide references for a reassessment of the insights from more complex models and approaches.
Clinical outcomes of endovascular treatment in hemodialysis patients with central venous stenosis: A retrospective analysis
Authors: Tian Ran , Yu Zhengya , Luo Tao 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIntroductionEndovascular treatment is one of treatment options for hemodialysis patients with central venous stenosis (CVS), but clinical outcomes and risk factors remain inadequately studied. This study seeks to investigate the occurrence and risk factors associated with CVS.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed the distribution and causes of 385 lesions in 309 hemodialysis patients with symptomatic CVS. We particularly examined patients with single‐segment lesions treated with endovascular treatment to explore patency rates and related factors.ResultsThe proportion of catheter‐related superior vena cava (SVC) lesions was 100%. In the subgroup of single‐segment lesions (from 205 patients) 187 patients successfully treated with endovascular treatment (technical success was 91.22%) and Cox analysis revealed that age over 50 years (HR = 2.057, 95% CI: 1.174–3.603, p = 0.012), upper‐arm arteriovenous fistula (HR = 1.832, 95% CI: 1.127–2.977, p = 0.015), and presence of preoperative collateral circulation (HR = 1.924, 95% CI: 1.241–2.982, p = 0.003) were prognostic factors influencing the 1‐year primary patency rate of subclavian veins, while age over 50 years (HR = 3.618, 95% CI: 1.465–8.933, p = 0.005), upper‐arm arteriovenous fistula (HR = 1.972, 95% CI: 1.116–3.482, p = 0.019), high pressure to efface waist at the stenotic site (HR = 2.343, 95% CI: 1.106–4.961, p = 0.026), and diabetes (HR = 1.953, 95% CI: 1.042–3.661, p = 0.037) were prognostic factors for brachiocephalic veins. Due to the small sample size, comprehensive analysis of risk factors for restenosis could not be performed.ConclusionCentral venous balloon angioplasty is an effective treatment for central venous stenosis in hemodialysis patients, with satisfactory technical and clinical success rates. Age, upper arm fistula and collateral circulation are important factors affecting the treatment outcome for subclavian veins. Similarly, the corresponding factors for the brachiocephalic veins include age, upper‐arm fistula, high pressure to efface waist and diabetes.

ABSTRACTFire disturbance is an integral part of many ecosystems. However, some taxa may not be resilient to the increasing size, intensity, and frequency of fire events due to climate change. We investigated how terrestrial invertebrate Ordinal‐level community structure and the abundance of six Orders (Acarina, Araneae, Coleoptera, Collembola, Diptera, Hymenoptera: Formicidae) changed following three natural fire events over two decades (2007–2022) in Kangaroo Island and mainland South Australia. We collected invertebrates using two methods (pitfall traps and sweep nets) at four sites (two burnt and two unburnt) every 6 months, before and after three fire events (2007, 2019, 2021). Ordinal‐level community structure generally showed signs of recovery nearing pre‐fire conditions within 20–22 months post‐fire. The pitfall samples showed increased abundance in Coleoptera, Diptera and Hymenoptera (Formicidae) following fire, and no change in Acarina abundance. The sweep net samples showed no recovery to pre‐fire conditions on mainland South Australia, but recovery to baseline after 20–22 months on Kangaroo Island. There were significant shifts in invertebrate community structure across time‐since‐fire with a return to pre‐fire conditions at burnt sites after 20–22 months. These findings demonstrate the apparent ordinal‐level resilience of invertebrates in South Australian eucalypt woodlands, particularly of ground‐dwelling species, but also point to Order specific differences that warrant future study.
Human chorionic gonadotropin‐based clinical treatments for infertile men with non‐obstructive azoospermia

Published: February 2025

AbstractSpermatogenesis is primarily controlled by follicle‐stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone‐driven testosterone. Luteinizing hormone acts on the Leydig cells, stimulating steroid production, predominantly testosterone, and activating critical inter‐related spermatogenesis regulatory pathways. Despite evidence that exogenous gonadotropins containing luteinizing hormone activity, particularly human chorionic gonadotropin, can effectively restore spermatogenesis in azoospermic males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, the use of these drugs to treat other forms of non‐obstructive azoospermia is the subject of an ongoing debate. In this review, we delve into the molecular properties and functions of human chorionic gonadotropin in spermatogenesis regulation and explore available preparations for therapeutic use. We examine the evidence regarding the effectiveness of human chorionic gonadotropin in treating infertility in men with pre‐testicular or testicular non‐obstructive azoospermia and, additionally, identify the main areas for future research. Our review highlights the critical role of luteinizing hormone activity in spermatogenesis and emphasizes the potential of human chorionic gonadotropin in treating male infertility. The variation in the characteristics of patients with non‐obstructive azoospermia underscores the importance of assessing hormonal profiles when contemplating hormonal treatment for these patients. A novel stratification of male infertility patients, the APHRODITE criteria, which considers clinical and laboratory indicators, may assist in identifying individuals who could benefit from human chorionic gonadotropin therapy. While accumulating evidence suggests promising venues for pharmacological treatment in male infertility, including non‐obstructive azoospermia, further research is required to completely elucidate the mechanisms underlying the effects of exogenous gonadotropins with luteinizing hormone activity on sperm production and to establish the most effective dosages and treatment durations.
Psychological well‐being, resilience, self‐determination and grit: The ‘novelty’ role in physical education classes
Authors: Trigueros Ruben , García‐Mas Alejandro 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIntroductionIn recent years, the incorporation of novelty as a psychological need and the study of the frustration of needs have become a recurring theme in the research on psychological needs in the educational environment. Currently, there are two scales available to assess the frustration of basic psychological needs (FBN) in the context of Physical Education. The objectives of the study are (a) to analyse the factor structures of both scales to compare them with each other and (b) to analyse the effect of FBN on resilience, grit and each of the motivational regulations.MethodThe study included 1439 high school students (M = 15.03 years; SD = 1.24). The majority of participants were Caucasian 83.4%, African 9.7%, South American 6.1% and Asian 0.8%. The analyses used to examine the factor structure of the scales were exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis and discriminant validity analysis. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to analyse the relationship of FBN.ResultsEach of the scales showed greater robustness in its factor structure and reliability (2023, Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 1) scale: χ2/gl = 3.62; CFI = .92; NFI = .92; RMSEA = .061; (2020, Revista de Psicología del Deporte, 29, 91) scale: χ2/gl = 2.67; CFI = .96; NFI = .96; RMSEA = .048, SRMR = .037). Additionally, FBN was positively related to less self‐determined motivational regulations, while it was negatively related to grit, resilience and more self‐determined motivational regulations.ConclusionFinally, the results highlighted that the (2020, Revista de Psicología del Deporte, 29, 91) scale, showing greater factorial robustness, obtained greater robustness in the relationships with the variables studied.

ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a significant increase in recent years. Atherosclerosis, the pathological basis and prime reason for CVDs is primarily driven by dysregulated lipid metabolism and inflammation. Recently, proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin9 (PCSK9) has been evolved to be highly implicated in the circulatory low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels by its modulatory effects on the low‐density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediated clearance. Even though not economical, the therapies targeting PCSK9 demonstrated appreciable levels of efficiency in managing hyperlipidaemic conditions. Embelin (2,5‐dihydroxy‐3‐undecyl‐1,4‐benzoquinone) is a naturally occurring para‐benzoquinone isolated from dried berries of Embelia ribes, which possess several effects in maintaining the cholesterol homeostasis. In this study, we have analysed the role of embelin in sterol regulatory element‐binding protein 2 (SREBP2) mediated PCSK9 expression in cultured hepatocytes. The study showed that the embelin treatment attenuates the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress‐induced reactive oxygen species levels and ER stress markers on cultured hepatocytes. The treatment of embelin modulates the mRNA and protein level expression of SREBP2 and its downstream targets like PCSK9, LDLR, and HMG‐CoA reductase (HMGCR). Interestingly the Ca2+ levels and the calcium binding protein of ER were significantly increased with embelin treatment. The work revealed a putative mechanism of embelin in lowering PCSK9 levels by boosting ER Ca2+ levels, thereby blocking SREBP2 nuclear translocation. Further, this reduces LDLR degradation and increases receptor‐mediated circulatory lipid clearance. The study summarized the potential clinical applications of embelin in addressing the cardio vascular diseases.

AbstractAimSexual dysfunction after colorectal and anal cancer is common but rarely identified and treated, although effective treatment options do exist. Therefore, we recently established nurse‐led clinics for the treatment of sexual dysfunction after pelvic organ cancer at two Danish university hospitals. The aim of this paper is to present patients' clinical characteristics, the treatments offered and improvements in sexual function recorded.MethodIn this cohort study, colorectal and anal cancer patients were referred to the clinics at any time point after their cancer treatment. Specialized treating nurses identified and registered organic sexual disorders and psychological concerns at the first visit, and initiated treatments. Treatments were algorithm‐based and rooted in a biopsychosocial approach. Patient‐reported outcome measures were completed at baseline and 3 months after discharge.ResultsAmong 127 referred patients, 78% were men. The mean age was 60.6 years (SD 10.4 years) and the women were a mean 7.3 years younger than the men (p = 0.001). Eighty per cent were rectal cancer patients. The most prevalent disorder was erectile dysfunction in men (95%) and dyspareunia in women (71%). Psychological concerns were registered in 53% of men and 54% of women. Pharmacological treatments, mainly phosphodiesterase‐5 inhibitors, were prescribed to 87% of men, and local oestrogens were prescribed to 54% of women. Instructions in the use of sexual aids were given to 22% of men and 42% of women. Furthermore, sexual counselling/therapy was offered to 44% of men and 92% of women to address sexuality related psychological problems. Three months after discharge, a clinically relevant improvement of ≥1 point was found in 68% of patients in at least one of three single items measuring ‘Meaningful sex life’, ‘Sexual needs met’ and ‘Overall rating of sex life’ on a five‐point Likert‐scale.ConclusionAt nurse‐led clinics, specialized nurses can effectively identify and treat sexual problems in patients with sexual dysfunction following colorectal/anal cancer. Organic dysfunctions were prevalent, and psychological problems characterized most patients. This highlights that treatment needs to be multidisciplinary and that patients benefit from specialized care.
