Authors: Kaladharan Sanju , Dhanya M. , Rejikumar G. 
Published: November 2023

PurposeEat Right India (ERI) is a flagship initiative by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to transform the food system to ensure sustainable, safe and healthy food for all. The study summarizes the strategies, policies and programs using the NOURISHING framework.Design/methodology/approachThis study identifies and reviews documents related to ERI through a comprehensive search of research literature, policy documents and information available from the institutional websites. The NOURISHING framework, which proposes a methodology to categorize, report and monitor actions to promote healthy eating, is used as a guiding framework.FindingsUpon analyzing various strategies put forward by the ERI initiative, it was found that there are many inter-sectoral collaborations, successful institutionalizations and behavioral interventions implemented through the initiative. However, there are a few areas that require attention, which include health taxation, children's exposure to unhealthy food marketing, regulations in food advertisements and the incentivization of retailers and consumers for healthy food delivery and consumption. There is a need for a holistic approach with a congruence of health and food systems in the backdrop of a strong and efficient policy and regulatory framework to tackle the threat of Non-communicable diseases (NCD).Originality/valueThis article contributes to a significant discussion about transforming food systems to tackle (NCDs). It summarizes the existing initiatives in India for establishing healthy food environments and also suggests a few strategies for taking it forward. The study calls the policymakers to action for restructuring the food and health system into resilient, contextually relevant and interoperable mechanisms to address the threat of NCDs.
Readiness level assessment for lean Six Sigma implementation in the healthcare sector
Authors: Costa Federica , Portioli-Staudacher Alberto , Alemsan Najla , Tortorella Guilherme Luz 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify the critical readiness factors (CRFs) that mainly affect the implementation of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) in an organization and their interactions, and to develop a model that allows the management to assess the Lean Implementation Readiness Level.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is separated into two main parts: the literature review and the assessment model development. In the literature review, the main CRFs and their interactions for LSS implementation in Scopus Data Base were identified. The second part of the methodology is the model development. It was built on a stepwise framework that considers the relations among the CRFs and their importance. Moreover, it was used fuzzy-based linguistic variables given by the experts working in the company to consider the actual performance rating of each CRF. The model has been validated in the healthcare sector in nine hospitals.

Findings
From the model application, it is possible to note that the most frequent level among the nine hospitals interviewed is “Average Ready”. Also, the most extreme level of readiness occurred ones while the most extreme level of not readiness never occurred. Results show that in 78% of the cases, there would have been a high probability of implementation failure. Also, it was possible to identify for each hospital if the CRFs are good, if they are weak and need to change or if another factor needs to be improved before it and what this factor is.

Originality/value
This work proposes a new methodology that eliminates the negative aspects and limitations of the total interpretive structural modeling methodology and the fuzzy logic approach currently applied to evaluate the LSS readiness of a company. The present methodology lies in the fact that it provides a solution not only by defining the weak CRFs but also by giving an indication of priority as it identifies the weak antecedent factors that inhibit the preparedness of the depending factors.
The (big) role of family constellations in return migration and transnationalism
Authors: Kopliku Bresena , Drishti Elvisa 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
The Albanian migration has always reflected a family character, be that before 1945 when Albania was not yet completely isolated, as well as after 1990 when borders were reopened. This feature characterized all types of movement, internal or international, permanent or seasonal migration, return migration or transnational movements and remigration. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the family as a very important factor in making decisions regarding migration and answering questions from why to how to migrate, from when to where, whom to ask for help or how to invest remittances.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the case study of a rural area in Northern Albania, the Administrative Unit of Dajç, this paper explores in detail the roles of family and kinship on decisions regarding return migration, the re-adjustment process, remigration or transnational life.

Findings
By exploring the role of the family context in remigration and vice-versa, the paper reflects that the family biography – including the lifestyle, plans for the future or expectations – has changed due to previous migration experiences or challenges and difficulties when returning to the home country.

Originality/value
It demonstrates how individual decisions to migrate or to “return home” are negotiated and supported within families making transnational life a family project. The paper adopts a new approach in the Albanian Migration Studies, which may be implied on broader areas for further research in the future.
Budget ratcheting in museums
Authors: Sandalgaard Niels , Bukh Per Nikolaj 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThis study focuses on ratcheting and budget behavior in nonprofit museums. Specifically, the authors examine how performance compared with the budget affects future revenue budgets, and how this differs from the extant literature focused on for-profit organizations. The study focuses specifically on the relationship between museums and their sources of public funding and how this affects how museums prepare budgets.Design/methodology/approachBased on four years of data covering 97 state-subsidized Danish museums, the authors analyze budget ratcheting using least absolute deviation (LAD) estimations in the form of median regressions.FindingsThe authors find that when actual revenue from admission charges is below the budget, the decrease in the following year's budget is greater than the increase in the following year's budget when actual revenue from admission charges is above the budget (i.e. the authors find asymmetrical ratcheting).Research limitations/implicationsThe findings are based on a specific setting (Danish museums), and the results may not be generalizable to other settings.Practical implicationsThis study provides insights into the museum sector and other sectors with similar characteristics and contributes to understanding the differences between museums and for-profit organizations when it comes to budgeting. As private-sector management practices are gaining ground in the museum sector, it is important to learn more about budgeting-related issues in this sector.Originality/valueThe asymmetrical ratcheting the authors find is the opposite of ratcheting typically found in for-profit organizations. The authors attribute the results to the incentive conflict between museums and their public funding sources. The authors point to the museums' dependence on public funding as an explanation for the results and, thereby, extend the knowledge on ratcheting to organizations with different characteristics than traditional, for-profit organizations.

Published: November 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to develop a cross-border regional brand management model to help enhance cooperation for developing such localities. It analyzed its applicability in the Brazil–Argentina and Italy–Austria cross-border regions comprising several cities.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was conducted to obtain a theoretical basis and select elements for creating the cross-border regional brand management (CRBM) model. To apply the model, in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 specialists of different nationalities and distinct expertise on cross-border governance and regional branding. In addition, to validate the proposed model, a focus group was carried out, and specialists were consulted using forms, providing 22 additional opinions.

Findings
The results show good managerial practices and gaps that must be overcome to create and manage the brands from the two regions analyzed.

Research limitations/implications
The theoretical contributions consist in extending the literature in place branding by presenting the first CRBM model and the conceptual explanation of each of the model's elements.

Practical implications
The study's practical implications occur through the suggestion of good management practices for the studied localities arising from the applicability of the CRBM model. Furthermore, it is expected that the model developed can be applied in other locations, bringing practical contributions to the management and creation of cross-border regional brands in other countries.

Originality/value
This study presents the first CRBM model and its applicability to two cross-border regions.
How to flourish under constraints: imitation or innovation? The mediation role of innovation and absorptive capacity on firm performance
Authors: Azhdary Moghadam Mojtaba , Akbari Mohsen , Mahfoozi Gholamreza , Mohaghegh Montazeri Mahyar 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to simultaneously investigate a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which strategic orientations, namely, imitation and innovation orientations, and knowledge management affect firm performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of the resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, this scholarly inquiry has proposed a comprehensive framework that delineates the relationships amongst imitation, innovation, absorptive capacity (ACAP), innovation performance and financial performance. To scrutinize the proposed research model, bootstrap routines were used through Smart partial least squares to estimate the procedures. To collect the necessary data, a questionnaire and financial statements were acquired from a sample of 100 Iranian firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The findings of the study have important implications for both scholars and practitioners seeking to enhance firm performance through the effective utilization of imitation, innovation and ACAP.

Findings
The results indicate that imitation activities have directly led to the improvement in innovation performance, even in the presence of innovation and ACAP. However, the relationship has not been confirmed by financial performance.

Originality/value
Imitation and innovation orientations have been identified as pivotal strategic orientations that can significantly affect firm performance. As far as the authors know, this investigation represents the first comprehensive examination of both imitation and innovation activities as a critical transition in emerging markets (EMs) characterized by complex economies, such as Iran. The findings may aid firms in enhancing their performance by providing insight into the strategic importance of imitation and innovation orientations in EMs.

Faculty members must acquire digital skills and competencies to effectively adopt disruptive technologies and implement Quality 4.0 principles in their teaching practices. HEIs should provide opportunities for faculty members to engage in ongoing training programmes, workshops and communities of practice that focus on enhancing their technological proficiencies, pedagogical strategies and collaborative skills.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported study linking the concepts of Quality 4.0 and the Triple Helix of Innovation in HEIs.
Mapping 30 years of tourism and hospitality research in the Arab world: a review based on bibliometric analysis
Authors: Al Rousan Ramzi , Khasawneh Nermin , Sujood Sujood 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
The Arab world has witnessed a remarkable surge in the growth of its tourism and hospitality (T&H) industry, positioning it as a vital cornerstone for sustainable development. However, an exclusive bibliometric analysis of T&H research contributed by the Arab world has not yet been conducted in the past 30 years, that is, 1993–2022. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a first-of-its-kind bibliometric assessment and visualization of T&H research produced by the Arab world spanning from 1993 to 2022.

Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive collection of 1,327 scientific publications related to T&H research contributed by the Arab world was acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection database. To perform a large-scale bibliometric analysis, encompassing performance analysis, science mapping and network analysis, this study used state-of-the-art analytical tools, namely, Bibliometrix package of R Studio and VOSviewer.

Findings
The findings of this study show that the Arab world’s research on T&H has significantly surged since COVID-19, contributing nearly half (50.56%) of the total literature in the T&H domain between 2020 and 2022. Elshaer IA (Suez Canal University, Egypt) emerged as the most productive author, while Nusair K (Sultan Qaboos University, Oman) was identified as the most impactful author in the T&H domain in the Arab world. The most productive journal was found to be Sustainability (MDPI), while Tourism Management (Elsevier) was identified as the most impactful journal in the field of T&H. Furthermore, the thematic analysis highlights that research themes in T&H are not static but rather constantly evolving in response to dynamic changes in the industry, such as emerging trends, shifts in tourist preferences and the impact of global events like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis of T&H research contributed by the Arab world, specifically covering the period from 1993 to 2022. This study's findings can inform the development of strategies and policies for the sustainable and competitive growth of the T&H industry in the Arab world. This study highlights the importance of continued research and collaboration among industry professionals, academics and policymakers to promote innovation and drive positive change in the T&H sector in the Arab world.
How much does issue salience matter? A model with applications to the UK elections
Authors: ADAMS JAMES , MERRILL SAMUEL , ZUR ROI 
Published: November 2023

AbstractExtensive research applies counterfactual simulation methodology to study parties’ optimal policy positions in multiparty elections. In recent years, this methodology has been extended to the study of variation in issue salience. We employ this method to estimate the electoral effects of changes in the salience of specific positional issue dimensions on parties’ success. Applied to British Election Study survey data from 2017 and 2019, we find that plausible issue salience changes could have shifted the parties’ projected vote shares by several percentage points. Our approach implies that the governing Conservative Party had electoral incentives to downplay positional issues, to magnify the relative effects of its non‐policy advantage due to perceived competence and performance, among other factors. Labour would also have benefitted from reduced salience of Left‐Right ideology. By contrast, the Liberal Democrats had strong electoral incentives to emphasize their moderate Left‐Right position.
A classification of combined homicide‐suicide: An update—Part III: Extrafamilial homicide‐suicide
Authors: Felthous Alan R. , Masood Yasir , Safari Delavar , Rodgers Emily , Chennu Navreet , Kahlon Chanchal , Angly Mary 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe subclassification of homicide‐suicide into psychopathology and intrafamilial homicide‐suicides having been presented in the foregoing Parts I and II, this Part III concerns extrafamilial homicide‐suicides. Extrafamilial homicide‐suicides are divided into adversarial, autogenic mass, cult, and terrorist homicide‐suicides. Adversarial homicide‐suicides involve a “formal” relationship between actor and homicide victims, further divided according to the role of the actor in their relationship as employee, current or former pupil/student as in school shootings, patient, and litigant. For comparison, school shootings were divided into those resulting in 10 or more homicide victims and those with fewer. The autogenic mass homicide‐suicide, wherein victims are strangers to the actor, was heuristically bifurcated here depending on the number of homicide victims, 10 or more or fewer. As expected, the homicide‐suicides with larger numbers of victims were more homogenous.
Circ_0004140 promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression by upregulating NOVA2 via sponging miR‐330‐5p
Authors: Xia Fan , Xie Mei , He Jinqi , Cheng Deyun 
Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) play a significant role in the tumorigenesis and progression of diverse human cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma. A previous study suggested that circ_0004140 expression was increased in lung adenocarcinoma cells. However, the molecular mechanism of circRNA circ_0004140 involved in lung adenocarcinoma is poorly defined.MethodsCirc_0004140, microRNA‐330‐5p (miR‐330‐5p), and NOVA alternative splicing regulator 2 (NOVA2) expression were determined by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis ability were assessed using 5‐ethynyl‐2’‐deoxyuridine (EdU), flow cytometry, wound healing, transwell, and capillary‐like network formation assays. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclin D1, and NOVA2 protein levels were detected using Western blot assay. The interaction between miR‐330‐5p and circ_0004140 or NOVA2 was verified by dual‐luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft tumor model was utilized to assess the role of circ_0004140 in tumor growth in vivo.ResultsCirc_0004140 was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines. Circ_0004140 silencing suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tube formation ability, and triggered the apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 acted as a molecular sponge for miR‐330‐5p, and miR‐330‐5p silencing largely reversed circ_0004140 knockdown‐induced effects in lung adenocarcinoma cells. NOVA2 was a target of miR‐330‐5p, and NOVA2 overexpression might largely overturn miR‐330‐5p overexpression‐induced influences in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 upregulated NOVA2 expression via sponging miR‐330‐5p in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 silencing restrained xenograft tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionCirc_0004140 knockdown might suppress the malignant biological behaviors of lung adenocarcinoma cells via miR‐330‐5p‐dependent regulation of NOVA2.
An investigation of the distributions of ferroptosis and necroptosis mediators in the maternal–fetal interface at different days of rat pregnancy
Authors: Tatar Musa , Tüfekci Kıymet Kübra 
Published: November 2023

AbstractFerroptosis and necroptosis are recognized as playing major roles in the regulation of various physiological processes. However, the physiological role of the cell death mediated by these two pathways in the developmental process has not yet been clearly established. This study investigated ferroptosis and necroptosis signalling pathways in maternal–fetal tissue in the different gestational days (GD) of rat pregnancy using immunohistochemical and western blot methods in order to fill this gap. Twenty‐four female Wistar albino rats were mated and divided into three groups. Maternal–fetal tissue samples were collected on GD 5, 12 and 19 of pregnancy. Expression and total protein levels of the markers glutathione peroxidase‐4, soluble transporter family 7 member 11, transferrin receptor, receptor‐interacting serine/threonine‐protein kinase 1, receptor‐interacting serine/threonine‐protein kinase 3 and mixed lineage kinase domain‐like protein were investigated on both the maternal and fetal surfaces of the placenta using immunohistochemical and western blot methods. The results showed varying levels of protein expression of both ferroptosis and necroptosis mediators in the GD 5, 12 and 19 of pregnancy. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that these mediators were located on both the maternal (decidua and metrial gland) and fetal surfaces (labyrinth zone, yolk sac and basal zone) and that their expression levels changed in the different GD. The findings revealed the existence of important ferroptosis and necroptosis pathway mediators in rat maternal–fetal tissue. These results may provide a molecular framework for a better understanding of the communication between the placenta, decidua and fetus during the developmental process.
