Authors: Chakraborty Debarun 
Published: February 2025

PurposeFood waste constitutes a critical global dilemma, presenting substantial environmental, economic and social challenges, with around one-third of all food intended for human use being discarded annually. This waste depletes essential resources, increases greenhouse gas emissions and intensifies food poverty. Comprehending the factors contributing to food waste is crucial for formulating effective methods to alleviate this issue.Design/methodology/approachThe responses have been collected from Indian households using longitudinal techniques. In Study 1, 481 respondents responded to the questions, and in Study 2, finally, 453 respondents responded.FindingsThis study examines the relationship between attitudes about food waste, intents to mitigate waste and several influencing factors like price sensitivity, altruistic behavior, awareness of food waste and societal norms.Originality/valueThe study seeks to elucidate consumer behavior by analyzing these relationships and identify practical interventions that can encourage a more sustainable food consumption approach, thereby aiding in the reduction of food waste and the promotion of responsible consumption practices.
Innovating bio-lubricant design: utilizing Mordred descriptors for model development and thermal stability prediction of novel compounds
Authors: Ma’ruf Muhammad , Fukuda Kanao , Liza Shahira , Fajar Rizqon 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Developing bio-lubricants for high-temperature applications, such as engine operations, requires reliable thermal stability assessment. This study aims to create a predictive tool to evaluate thermal stability using existing organic compounds data. The model predicts the onset temperature (T onset) of bio-lubricant candidates derived from epoxidation with various amine nucleophiles, enhancing initial selection efficiency and reducing reliance on traditional trial-and-error methods.

Design/methodology/approach
Using the Python library Mordred, molecular descriptors were calculated from the SMILES structures of 126 compounds with known T onsets. These descriptors were inputs for machine learning models predicting the thermal stability of bio-lubricants. The models were evaluated on training and test data sets and validated with novel synthesized compounds.

Findings
The predictive model showed strong performance on the test data set, with an R² of 0.93 and a root mean square error of 17.77. In external validation, the model estimated the thermal stability of a novel bio-lubricant compound (MA-EPO) at 290.7°C, closely matching the actual T onset of approximately 300°C.

Originality/value
This research introduces a method for predicting the thermal stability of bio-lubricants using machine learning and open-source libraries. This approach significantly advances the field by improving the efficiency of bio-lubricant development for high-temperature applications. It provides a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional experimental methods, serving as a valuable resource for researchers and developers in the bio-lubricant industry.

PurposeThis study explores the formation process of cognitive destination image among first-time Chinese millennial tourists visiting Iran.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a comprehensive mixed-method exploratory approach, blending qualitative and quantitative methodologies, we aim to construct a conceptual model explaining the complex process of tourists’ cognitive destination image development. In the qualitative phase, interviews with 15 Chinese millennials unveiled key factors such as perceived behavioral control, perceived product quality, on-site involvement, engagement, and prior destination image as fundamental influencers of tourists’ cognitive destination image. Subsequently, in the quantitative phase, involving a questionnaire survey with 229 first-time Chinese travelers, we proposed a conceptual model to validate our primary findings.FindingsThe results highlight the emergence of on-travel cognitive image as a developmental concept originating from tourists' on-site participation and pre-existing perceptions of the destination. Moreover, we identified perceived behavioral control as the primary antecedent of millennials’ image formation, directly affecting the destination’s image development. Furthermore, increased involvement and engagement were found to diminish perceived behavioral control. Additionally, perceived product quality prompted millennials to engage more with cultural attractions and activities, enriching their in-situ image.Practical implicationsThe findings offer valuable insights for destination managers, enabling them to construct tailored strategies to augment the cognitive destination image.Originality/valueThis study provides a novel understanding of the cognitive destination image formation process among Chinese millennial tourists, highlighting the crucial role of perceived behavioral control, involvement, engagement, and perceived product quality. These insights can guide destination managers in enhancing the overall tourist experience and destination appeal.
The integration of entrepreneurial marketing processes and controls
Authors: Neill Stern , Dang Li 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to explore the evolving relationship between entrepreneurial marketing (EM) processes and control mechanisms across three phases of opportunity development: exploration, evaluation and exploitation. By examining how control mechanisms respond to the uncertainties inherent in each phase, this research illustrates how controls emerge and adapt, enabling entrepreneurs to effectively navigate the challenges specific to each stage of their venture’s growth.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a qualitative, inductive approach, this study uses semistructured interviews with founders of nine high-growth, early-stage startups based in California. The selected ventures vary by industry and business model but share early market traction. The Gioia methodology, a structured inductive approach for theme development, guides data analysis, revealing how control mechanisms evolve to address the challenges of each EM phase.

Findings
Controls adapt across the EM phases, becoming progressively structured to manage uncertainties. In the exploration phase, controls are belief-driven and flexible, guiding resource allocation and framing opportunity spaces. During evaluation, controls become more structured, aligning market feedback with product-market fit. In the exploitation phase, controls focus on scalability and efficiency, supporting alignment between strategic objectives and operational capabilities.

Originality/value
This research provides novel insights by demonstrating that controls do not stifle opportunity development but rather evolve with it. The findings contribute to theory and practice at the marketing/entrepreneurship interface, offering a nuanced understanding of the role of controls in supporting the EM process.
Playing to win: enhancing programme success through more frequent use of competitive analysis
Authors: Rundle-Thiele Sharyn 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Competition is one of the least used social marketing principles. Yet, an assessment of direct competition is one of the key factors defining social marketing from other behavioural change approaches. This paper aims to synthesise literature from evidence reviews assessing the extent that competitive analysis has been undertaken. This paper contributes a new competitive analysis method that can be incorporated within the seven-step co-design process delivering an alternative tool that social marketers can consider. Competition assessment enables social marketers to identify cooperators, share resources and ultimately enhance social marketing programme success.

Design/methodology/approach
A synthesis on competition assessments reported in 30 evidence review studies is provided. This paper offers a new competition analysis method that can be applied to undertake competitive assessments demonstrating likes, dislikes and other ideas, which can be gathered during the sensitisation phase of co-design.

Findings
Out of the 1,795 papers suitable for title/abstract screening, 30 evidence reviews assessing extent of competition use or extracting detail on competition from selected studies in the review were included in this umbrella review. Heterogeneity was evident, with reviews concluding between 0% and 100% competition use. Social marketers generally lack resources and can benefit from an easy way of defining and examining competition and this can be done by considering only direct competition.

Research limitations/implications
This rapid review synthesises the author’s views and is limited to studies identified within the 30 evidence reviews considered. Future research directions are outlined.

Practical implications
Competitive assessments are akin to standing on the shoulders of giants. Competitive assessments allow you to identify what individuals like and do not likev and potential cooperators that can be partnered with to reduce noise, which can better support people to make choices that achieve intended programme outcomes and deliver benefits to individuals.

Social implications
Increased utilisation of the competition criteria will help to avoid costly failures ensuring that social marketers have improved odds of programme success. Through identifying programmes that are currently available, which people like, social marketers can establish partnerships to share resources driving more effort to delivering outcomes.

Originality/value
This paper offers a new competition assessment method for resource constrained social marketers that can be incorporated into the Trischler et al. (2019) seven-step co-design process. Increased application of competition will enhance social marketing effectiveness.
Digital uptake of small peripheral Australian businesses: facilitating and inhibiting factors
Authors: Burgess Jacqueline , de Klerk Saskia , Blake Jacqueline , Birch Dawn 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis research explores the skills, attitudes and knowledge of micro and small businesses in the peripheral high growth region of Moreton Bay in southeast Queensland that would enable these businesses to adopt and use new business technology.Design/methodology/approachSixteen in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants recruited via snowball sampling and utilised in conjunction with the Queensland government’s Digital Scorecard survey data. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis, NVivo 12 and a phenomenographic approach.FindingsAll micro and small business owners understood the value of new business technology and expressed a positive attitude towards its uptake but felt constrained by a lack of knowledge, time and resources. Thus, they require targeted and local guidance and tools to minimize the demands on their time of implementation, which has implications for policymakers, governments and educators.Originality/valuePast studies on micro and small businesses adopting new technology have either looked at large regions or specific types of technology leaving the technological skills, attitudes and knowledge gaps of micro and small businesses in peripheral regions unexamined. This research aims to fill that gap by studying a specific high growth peripheral region, Moreton Bay, on the edge of the greater Brisbane city area. We recommend a phased approach to developing digital skills, adopting technology and appropriate support programs for each stage.
The decision to frisk: an exploration of the impact of suspect demeanor and demographic factors on pedestrian stops
Authors: Farrell Chelsea 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study explores how suspect demeanor impacts the decision to frisk a suspect during a pedestrian stop and whether the impact of demeanor on the decision to frisk varies by race/ethnicity and gender.Design/methodology/approachThe2018–2023 NYPD stop, question and frisk data are used to examine the role of demeanor and suspect characteristics on the decision to frisk using a series of hierarchical logistic regression models.FindingsResults indicate suspect demeanor (i.e. calm, nervous and aggression/noncompliance) impacts the decision to frisk, net of stop rationale. Demographic factors were found to moderate the effect of some demeanors on frisk decisions. For example, calm suspects are less likely to be frisked broadly, but interactions revealed that calm men are significantly less likely than calm women to be frisked and calm non-Hispanic Whites are less likely to be frisked than calm Black and Black Hispanic suspects.Originality/valueDespite courts upholding suspect demeanor as a legitimate factor for police to consider when establishing reasonable suspicion, examinations of demeanor are missing from research on stop and frisks. This study highlights the importance of incorporating suspect demeanor in research on pedestrian stops to better understand assessments of reasonable suspicion that someone is armed and dangerous.
Police cynicism: a state-of-the-art literature review
Authors: Roberts Rhiannon , Castillo Isabella E. , White David R. , Schafer Joseph 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe level of cynicism officers experience can directly impact their day-to-day decisions, especially in policing’s currently strained climate. This paper provides an updated systematic review of the predictors, outcomes and conceptualizations of police cynicism within the relevant literature.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review was conducted utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Results from the 56 articles published after Langworthy’s 1987 systematic review are included. It was hypothesized that due to the current climate, police cynicism may be more discussed within the literature, especially when examined with the “Ferguson Effect.”FindingsResearchers conceptualize police cynicism in various ways outside the traditional measures. Officers who were more cynical were more likely to maintain tougher law enforcement orientations and may have been more likely to engage in problem behaviors. Lack of internal support was related to organizational cynicism. Support for the Ferguson effect and demographic-related variables (tenure, racial identity and gender) on police cynicism yielded mixed findings despite the field’s inclination of their augmenting impact.Research limitations/implicationsMore research needs to be conducted on operationalizing and conceptualizing police cynicism. Researchers should establish standardized measures of police cynicism to help disaggregate results, as well as recruit from multiple agencies to increase generalizability.Originality/valueThis review is the first literature review conducted on police cynicism since Langworthy’s 1987 review. Exploring data post-1987 illustrates contemporary conceptualizations of police cynicism and related significant findings.
Content validity of the Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB‐v6) for use with adults with acquired brain injury (ABI): An international Delphi study
Authors: D'Cunha Christiana , Christie Lauren J. , McCluskey Annie , Cahill Liana S. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIntroductionOccupational therapists are responsible for assessing adult handwriting following stroke and other acquired brain injuries. The Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB) was developed for use as a diagnostic assessment tool and outcome measure. The current study aimed to investigate the content validity of version six of the Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB‐v6).MethodsA three round, online‐Delphi study was conducted with an international group of expert clinicians and academics experienced in adult handwriting assessment and/or retraining. In round one, participants rated the importance of HAB‐v6 domains and the six subtests and recommended modifications to administration and/or scoring procedures. In rounds two and three, participants were re‐presented with several HAB‐v6 domains where consensus was not reached and rated the importance of suggested modifications from round one. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis.Consumer and Community InvolvementConsumers and community members were not involved in this study.ResultsFifteen participants from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Israel, and Australia completed round one of the Delphi, 11 participants completed round two, and 15 participants completed round three. In round one, high consensus (>70% participant agreement) was achieved regarding the importance of 5/6 subtests of the HAB‐v6; suggestions were made to modify three subtests and add new subtests. In round two, high consensus (>70% agreement) was achieved on three proposed revisions: adding two subtests and modifying instructions for the copying subtest. In round three, low consensus regarding inclusion of the dots drawing subtest remained.ConclusionBased on the Delphi process, the content of five of six subtests of the HAB‐v6 are valid for use by occupational therapists and others to measure adult handwriting performance, with the exception of the dots subtest, where consensus was not reached.

AbstractIntroductionSerum potassium levels <3 mEq/L at post‐hemodialysis (HD) are closely associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify high‐risk patients with post‐HD hypokalemia after regular HD using potassium (2 mEq/L) dialysate solution.MethodsA total of 129 patients receiving HD and 1121 HD sessions were enrolled in this single‐center retrospective cross‐sectional study. The association of post‐HD hypokalemia less than 3 mEq/L with patient background, as well as each dialysis session was investigated.ResultsApproximately 16% of 129 patients and 10% of 1121 sessions showed post‐HD hypokalemia. In per‐patient analysis, more inpatients and lower dry weight were found in the hypokalemia group compared with the non‐hypokalemia group. Logistic regression analysis indicated that lower dry weight was significantly associated with higher risk of hypokalemia independent of inpatients (p < 0.01). To determine the best cut‐off value of pre‐HD potassium for identifying post‐HD hypokalemia, receiver operating curve analysis was performed in per‐session analysis. The results showed that the optimal pre‐HD potassium cut‐off value was 4.2 mEq/L. In the 250 sessions below the optimal cut‐off value for post‐HD hypokalemia development, 28.8% of sessions with potassium correction showed post‐HD hypokalemia, compared to 40.8% of sessions without potassium correction. Although numerically lower, the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.125).ConclusionOur results indicated that a relatively lower dry weight was more likely to complicate post‐HD hypokalemia. Potassium supplementation for high‐risk patients during HD sessions may be needed to prevent post‐HD hypokalemia.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTRecent studies have shown that disruptions in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) de novo synthesis pathway accelerate ovarian aging, yet its role in spermatogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the impact of the NAD+ de novo synthesis pathway on spermatogenesis by generating Qprt‐deficient mice using CRISPR‐Cas9 to target quinolinate phosphoribosyl transferase (Qprt), a key enzyme predominantly expressed in spermatocytes. Our results revealed that the deletion of Qprt did not affect NAD+ levels or spermatogenesis in the testes of 3‐month‐old mice. However, from 6 months of age onward, Qprt‐deficient mice exhibited significantly reduced NAD+ levels in the testes compared to wild‐type (WT) controls, along with a notable decrease in germ cell numbers and increased apoptosis. Additionally, these mice demonstrated mitochondrial dysfunction in spermatocytes, impaired progression through prophase I of meiosis, defective double‐strand break (DSB) repair, and abnormal meiotic sex chromosome inactivation. Importantly, supplementation with the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) in Qprt‐deficient mice restored NAD+ levels and rescued the spermatogenic defects. These findings underscore the critical role of NAD+ de novo synthesis in maintaining NAD+ homeostasis and highlight its importance in meiotic recombination and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in spermatogenesis.
Pneumatosis intestinalis in systemic sclerosis: navigating diagnostic and therapeutic challenges
Authors: Jassal Shalvin , Oza Ishani , Gibcus William C. , Crispin Melanie 
Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundPneumatosis intestinalis, characterised by the presence of intramural bowel gas, is a radiological finding with varied clinical implications, ranging from incidental detection to severe underlying pathology, including bowel ischaemia or perforation. Its association with systemic sclerosis, a connective tissue disorder, remains rare and poorly understood, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing 34 documented cases of pneumatosis intestinalis associated with systemic sclerosis, examining demographic profiles, clinical features, diagnostic findings, and outcomes of various management strategies.ResultsPneumatosis intestinalis in systemic sclerosis predominantly occurs in older female patients and is associated with gastrointestinal dysmotility and microvascular damage. Symptoms range from asymptomatic presentations to severe abdominal pain with obstructive symptoms, with the latter increasing the likelihood of surgical intervention. Non‐operative management, encompassing antibiotic therapy, oxygen supplementation, and dietary modifications, was associated with favourable outcomes and the lowest mortality. In contrast, surgical intervention, often necessitated by suspected ischemia or perforation, was associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality.ConclusionPneumatosis intestinalis in systemic sclerosis is a complex clinical entity demanding a nuanced, multi‐disciplinary approach to management. Non‐operative management should remain the cornerstone of treatment for clinically stable presentations, with surgery reserved for those with clear indications. The absence of standardised guidelines underscores the need for further research to refine diagnostic criteria and therapeutic protocols, ultimately improving long‐term outcomes in this complex intersection of gastrointestinal and systemic disease.
