Student perceptions and interests in sustainability: differences among student groups and impact on student sustainability program participation
Authors: Lee Megan , Byers Tyra , Powell Alyssa 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine factors that impact participation of diverse university students in an academic sustainability certificate and Office of Sustainability internships at the University of Georgia, recognizing the need for diverse voices and perspectives in addressing sustainability challenges and the current lack of diverse representation in the field.

Design/methodology/approach
A convenience sample of 77 student organizations and 35 departments, schools and colleges associated with the university was identified. The questionnaire was created using the Qualtrics online survey platform and distributed via email to potential participants. A total of 234 completed responses were collected. Descriptive statistics were calculated to determine the demographic composition of the sample. One-way ANOVAs were performed to examine the relationship between respondent demographics and perceptions of sustainability and participation in campus sustainability programs. Post hoc tests were conducted using Fisher’s least significant difference procedure.

Findings
Significant relationships were observed between perceptions of sustainability and race and current gender. A significant relationship was observed between race and participation in campus sustainability programs. Overall, students from diverse backgrounds believe that sustainability efforts contribute to racial justice and equity. Additionally, students from diverse backgrounds do want to participate in campus sustainability programs; however, there may be barriers preventing their participation.

Originality/value
This study examines how students from diverse backgrounds perceive sustainability efforts, as well as their interest in participating in campus sustainability programs. The results of this study can be used to inform recruitment and program development strategies for sustainability programs at higher education institutions. At the time of publication, no study could be located that examines the current study outcomes.
Hierarchical relationships of building partnership competency: the use of nominal group technique and interpretive structural modelling
Authors: Abdul Latiff Noraini , Hoque Kazi Enamul , A. Ghani Muhammad Faizal 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to determine the hierarchical relationship between building partnership competencies for public sector educational leaders (ELs) administering and running the education system.

Design/methodology/approach
An interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique was used to develop a hierarchical structural model for building partnership competencies. Nominal group technique (NGT) was used with the help of experts’ suggestions and opinions at the beginning of ISM to identify building partnership competencies. Also, the NGT was used to rank the competencies. A structural self-integration matrix was developed based on experts’ voting and agreement. Cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis was used to analyse the relationship among the building partnership competencies. A total of 11 experts were chosen for NGT and ISM sessions.

Findings
A total of 16 building partnership competencies were identified for this study. The competencies were compartmentalised into four domains: creative collaboration, create network, develop collective culture and encouraging constructive dialogue. MICMAC analysis shows each domain of the model of its key competencies ranked at the highest level in the ISM model and dependent competencies.

Research limitations/implications
ISM is a modelling approach that is based solely on expert opinions and responses. Its limitation can be overcome with the help of empirical analysis.

Practical implications
This study supports the public sector ELs’ professional development and upskilling. In addition, the model developed in the study will be helpful for stakeholders, human resources division and policymakers to incorporate building partnership competencies in the training and development of ELs.

Originality/value
This study helps to identify and prioritise building partnership competencies using NGT and ISM. Literature shows that numerous authors have used the ISM approach. Still, the combination of NGT approach is limited. Therefore, the model developed in the study was based solely on experts’ opinions and suggestion based on their experiences and knowledge.
Does corporate sustainability mitigate firm risk? An empirical analysis on S&P 500 controversial companies
Authors: Sciarelli Mauro , Landi Giovanni , Turriziani Lorenzo , Prisco Anna 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore the impact of controversial firms’ corporate sustainability assessments on their risk exposure according to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) paradigm.

Design/methodology/approach
This study conducts a cross-sectional study using the ordinary least squares approach to test how corporate social responsibility practices affect firms’ risk exposure, testing the three single impacts of ESG components and the impact of an overall ESG assessment. This study considers the largest Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 stock market index companies and focus on a double-risk measurement – systematic and idiosyncratic – developing an empirical study on 132 controversial companies listed on the S&P index.

Findings
Empirical findings indicate that the overall ESG assessment and the environmental and social sub-dimensions decrease idiosyncratic firm risk. At the same time, no significant results are found according to the systematic risk component.

Originality/value
This study fits into the domain of risk management research, investigating whether additional and non-financial disclosures regarding sustainability issues decrease information asymmetries, improving investors’ decision-making and stakeholders’ relations. Prior literature has shown limited evidence on the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and firm risk based on controversial companies. The main contribution is to consider the controversy as an independent factor from the industry sector, given that the implications of CSP actions and practices are mainly firm-specific.
Environmental sustainability: An exploratory study of the perceived knowledge, attitudes, and skills of occupational therapists practicing in Australia
Authors: Seville Roseanna , Hodson Tenelle , Di Tommaso Amelia 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe threat of climate change to the health and wellbeing of the Australian population is well documented. Literature is emerging to support the role of occupational therapy in environmental sustainability. To date, the perspectives of occupational therapists practicing in Australia are yet to be explored. This study aimed to explore these perspectives, specifically occupational therapists' knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding environmental sustainability.MethodsA mixed methods study using a cross‐sectional survey design and convergence model was undertaken. A survey was developed using closed‐ and open‐ended questions drawn from the World Federation of Occupational Therapists Guiding Principles for Sustainability. The online survey remained open from March to September 2021. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, and inductive content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Merged integration was used to identify convergence and divergence between data sets and enable conclusions to be drawn.ResultsResponses were received from 37 participants. For occupational therapists practicing in Australia there appeared to be an incongruence between the importance of environmental sustainability in daily life compared to professional practice. In professional practice, there are several perceived barriers that are outside of the locus of control of the therapist. Therapists are motivated to engage in this concept but are unsure how to do so.ConclusionFindings provide an initial understanding about environmental sustainability from the current perspectives of occupational therapists practicing in Australia. More structured guidance is required to integrate environmental sustainability considerations into professional practice. Future research should focus on developing a more in‐depth understanding of the concepts preliminarily explored in this study.

AbstractAimsImproving hospital nutrition and mealtime care is complex and often requires multifaceted interventions and implementation strategies to change how staff, wards and systems operate. This study aimed to develop and validate a staff questionnaire to identify multilevel barriers and enablers to optimal nutrition and mealtime care on hospital wards, to inform and evaluate local quality improvement.MethodsLiterature review, multidisciplinary focus groups and end‐user testing informed questionnaire development and establishment of content and face validity. To determine the construct validity, the questionnaire was administered to ward staff working in five wards across two facilities (acute hospital, rehabilitation unit). Exploratory factor analysis was used to estimate the number of factors and to guide decisions about whether to retain or reject individual items. Scale reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.ResultsThe questionnaire was completed by 138 staff, with most respondents being nurses (57%) and working in the acute care facility (76%). Exploratory factor analysis supported construct validity of four of the original seven subscales. The final questionnaire consisted of 17 items and 4 sub sub‐scales related to (1) Personal Staff Role; (2) Food Service; (3) Organisational Support, and (4) Family Involvement; each sub‐scale demonstrated good reliability with Cronbach's alpha values all >0.70.ConclusionThis novel and brief questionnaire shows good reliability and preliminary evidence of construct validity in this small sample. It provides a potentially useful instrument to identify barriers and enablers to nutrition and mealtime care from the staff perspective and inform where improvement efforts should be focused.

Published: May 2023

SummaryCD30 is a transmembrane protein from the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily. It is expressed on a small subset of activated T and B lymphocytes, and various lymphoid neoplasms. CD30 is a particularly interesting treatment target because its levels are high in tumours but low in healthy tissues. Several therapeutic strategies targeting CD30 have been developed, including monoclonal antibodies, conjugated antibodies (combination of brentuximab vedotin with chemotherapy or immunotherapy), bispecific antibodies and cell and gene therapies, such as anti‐CD30 CAR‐T cells in particular. We briefly review the biology of CD30 which makes it a good therapeutic target, and we describe all of the anti‐CD30 therapies that have emerged to date.

Published: May 2023

SummaryEndometritis in donkeys is increasingly being recognised in China because of its impact on reproductive performance. Histopathological examination of the endometrial biopsy is the gold standard method for equine endometritis diagnosis, but so far, its application to diagnose donkey endometritis has been limited. In this study, 48 jennies at donkey farms in Hebei province, China, diagnosed with endometritis had an endometrial biopsy performed from 2019 to 2021 for histopathological examination and were categorised into grade I (2/48), IIA (24/48), IIB (15/48) and III (7/48). Selected typical endometrial biopsy samples of each category along with cytology from four jennies with endometritis were described more specifically.
Modulation of Piezo1 influences human skin architecture and oxytocin expression

Published: May 2023

AbstractObjectiveThroughout our existence, the skin senses and analyses the mechanical forces imposed by the environment. In response to these environmental forces, skin can deform itself and achieve a biological response. The subsequent cutaneous plasticity emerges from mechanical properties arising from the collective action of the skin cells, particularly keratinocytes, that govern the tensile strength via cell‐to‐cell adhesions and via cell–matrix adhesion structures. In addition to serving as force‐bearing entities, keratinocytes respond to forces by activating signalling pathways to control their own fate and function. To detect and adapt to mechanical signals, keratinocytes possess a panel of sensory receptors and junctional intercellular structures. Mechanically activated ion channel Piezo1 has been described as a force sensor and as being involved in pleasant touch perception. In this study, relationships between Piezo1 modulation and oxytocin synthesis were investigated.MethodsThe expression of Piezo1 in the skin was studied and compared with the expression of TRPV1. Dooku1 antagonist and Jedi1 agonist were used to modulate Piezo1. The level of E‐cadherin and oxytocin was monitored in ex vivo skin biopsies by immunodetection.ResultsTaken together, our results illustrate the major role of mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in skin barrier integrity, and in peripheral oxytocin synthesis in the skin.ConclusionIn conclusion, this study highlights the relationships between pleasant touch, soft touch and local oxytocin synthesis.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThailand needs to manage trash disposal due to the country's growing urban community. This study argues that waste management in the city of Khon Kaen can benefit from adopting Buddhist environmental ethics. We conducted a qualitative case study with purposive sampling of 24 key informants for in‐depth interviews. We used the ATLAS.ti programme to apply content analysis techniques (theme, coding and quotation). Our case study argues for an optimistic practice of waste management in temples by integrating the Buddhist principle of merit‐making. This approach shapes waste management, such as donating waste, garbage‐free funerals and waste disposal. The waste merit‐making in the temples reinforces application of 3Rs (reuse, reduce and recycle). The study suggests that waste‐merit management model could be replicated in other communities but its success is not guaranteed due to variations in the level of support and collaboration between community and temple.
Structural characterization, energy transfer, and Judd–Ofelt analysis of pure and the Eu3+‐doped Ca2LiMg2V3O12 phosphors
Authors: Princy A , Annie Rathnakumari E , Masilla Moses Kennedy S 
Published: May 2023

AbstractA novel vanadate host Ca2LiMg2V3O12 (CLMV) and the Eu3+‐doped samples were synthesized via a solid‐state reaction method. The phase formation and the morphological analysis were studied in detail. The Rietveld refinement result shows that the host belongs to cubic space group Ia‐3d (230) with lattice parameter, a = 12.3948 Å, V = 1904.23 Å3, and Z = 8. The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurement estimated the bandgap of the host and the CLMV:0.05Eu3+ phosphors. The host exhibits a broad absorption band (peak at 345 nm) ranging from 240 to 380 nm, which is attributed to the charge transfer in the O2−–V5+ complex. Under near UV excitation (λexc = 345 nm), the host gives a broad emission band covering the visible region from 400 to 730 nm and the emission is in the bluish–green region of the CIE diagram. When the host is doped with the Eu3+ ions and excited at 345 nm, the emission spectrum depicts the superimposition of the characteristic emission bands (red emission) of the Eu3+ ions corresponding to the f–f transitions over the broad emission band of the host. The calculated color coordinates (9600 to 2280 K) demonstrated the color tuning ability of the phosphor as the dopant concentration is increased in the host. This is because the VO43− group plays the sensitiser role and partially transfers energy with the Eu3+ ions. When the same set of phosphors were excited at the dominant characteristic excitation band (λexc = 394 nm) of the Eu3+, the characteristic emission bands of the Eu3+ in the orange–red region were observed. As the electric dipole transition of the Eu3+ was found to be dominant, the prepared phosphors possessed high color purity (CP). The energy transfer mechanism and the lifetime values were also presented. The temperature‐dependent PL studies showed good thermal stability of the optimum sample. Various radiative transition properties were analyzed by the Judd–Ofelt theory. The photometric results reveal the color tuning ability and CP of the CLMV:xEu3+ phosphors.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundPacemaker implantation in infants and small children is limited to epicardial lead placement via open chest surgery. We propose a minimally invasive solution using a novel percutaneous access kit.ObjectiveTo evaluate the acute safety and feasibility of a novel percutaneous pericardial access tool kit to implant pacemaker leads on the epicardium under direct visualization.MethodsA custom sheath with optical fiber lining the inside wall was built to provide intrathoracic illumination. A Veress needle inside the illumination sheath was inserted through a skin nick just to the left of the xiphoid process and angled toward the thorax. A needle containing a fiberscope within the lumen was inserted through the sheath and used to access the pericardium under direct visualization. A custom dilator and peel‐away sheath with pre‐tunneled fiberscope was passed over a guidewire into the pericardial space via modified Seldinger technique. A side‐biting multipolar pacemaker lead was inserted through the sheath and affixed against the epicardium.ResultsSix piglets (weight 3.7–4.0 kg) had successful lead implantation. The pericardial space could be visualized and entered in all animals. Median time from skin nick to sheath access of the pericardium was 9.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 8–11) min. Median total procedure time was 16 (IQR 14–19) min. Median R wave sensing was 5.4 (IQR 4.0–7.3) mV. Median capture threshold was 2.1 (IQR 1.7–2.4) V at 0.4 ms and 1.3 (IQR 1.2–2.0) V at 1.0 ms. There were no complications.ConclusionPercutaneous epicardial lead implantation under direct visualization was successful in six piglets of neonatal size and weight with clinically acceptable acute pacing parameters.

AbstractThe deep‐sea spiny eels of the genus Notacanthus Bloch 1788 are currently represented by six valid species, of which only one, Notacanthus indicus, has been described so far from the Arabian Sea, part of the Western Indian Ocean. This paper reports the discovery of a new species, described herein as Notacanthus laccadiviensis, from the outer reef drop‐off, off the Kavaratti Island, Lakshadweep Archipelago, Arabian Sea. The new species differs from its congeners in the shape of the head; morphology of dorsal, pectoral and anal fins; number of gill rakers; number of vertebrae; and body colour, and specifically from N. indicus (the only known congener from the Indian Ocean) in the unusual morphology of the dorsal fin, and number of rays in the dorsal and pectoral fins.

Published: May 2023

AbstractRapid‐acting fentanyl formulations are superior to oral morphine (OM) syrup in controlling breakthrough pain among patients with cancer, but they are expensive and unavailable in many countries.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of reconstituted intravenous fentanyl to sublingual solution (IFS) in relieving breakthrough pain as compared with OM.MethodsIn this randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐controlled trial, patients with gynecologic cancer aged ≥18 years experiencing chronic cancer pain with breakthrough pain were enrolled. Patients were randomly allocated (1:1) to receive either 50 μg IFS or 5 mg OM. Pain intensity level was assessed at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 120 min after treatment. The primary outcome was the reduction in pain intensity at 15 min in the intention‐to‐treat population (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05037539).ResultsBetween June 15, 2021 and December 30, 2021, 40 participants were equally and randomly assigned to receive IFS or OM. The primary outcome was significantly higher in the IFS group (4.25 vs. 1.05, p < 0.0001). The secondary outcomes also showed higher reduction in pain intensity at 5 min in the IFS group. Subsequent breakthrough pain did not differ between the two groups. However, the reduction in pain was lower in the IFS group at 45, 60, and 120 min, where pain was classified as mild. No severe adverse effects were observed in both groups. Burning sensation without noticeable lesion was found in 20% of the IFS group.ConclusionIFS can reduce early breakthrough pain. IFS may be considered for breakthrough pain when rapid‐acting fentanyl formulations are unavailable.
