Sustainable agriculture: profile and strategies of Argentine wineries
Authors: Villanueva Emiliano , Ferrer Juan , Castillo Valero Juan Sebastián , García-Cortijo María Carmen 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe article aims to show the relationship between agricultural sustainability practices and the competitive strategies of Argentine wineries. It presents the strategic decisions, resources and capabilities of those Argentine wineries performing a sustainable agricultural approach.Design/methodology/approachWineries in all wine regions of Argentina were surveyed to assess the interaction between wineries’ dynamics and characteristics, as well as their business and agronomical practices. The dataset accounts for 204 wineries, a representative sample of Argentinean wineries. We developed an agricultural index representing the degree of application of sustainable practices of an Argentine winery based on answers related to two items from the production phase: soil maintenance and phytosanitary protection. We then relate the index to exogenous explanatory variables in terms of business practices: resources and capabilities (price, income from other activities, technological resources, human resources and export activities) and Robinson and Pearce's competitive strategies (innovation strategy, marketing strategy, strategy efficiency and service strategy). A microeconometric model is proposed since it best fits this research’s objective and data type, specifically a logit/probit model.FindingsThe results show that wineries in Argentina performing agricultural sustainability practices have more technological and human resources and implement innovative product strategies. However, the results also show that wineries that receive more than 50% of their income from other activities do not show much concern about agronomical sustainability practices.Originality/valueWineries in Argentina that address objectives to reduce agricultural and environmental impact have more technological and human resources. Innovative wineries from Argentina that perform these sustainable agricultural practices develop a competitive advantage that shows consumers these sustainable agricultural practices worldwide as a differentiator. This attribute makes them different and helps them cope with their demands. The article delves into these new practices that are now reaching Argentina after being established in Europe for many years.
From Suez to Suez: an autoethnographic study of transgenerational trauma
Authors: Hall Steven 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The term transgenerational trauma describes a process whereby trauma responses may be transmitted through a number of generations. This paper aims to increase understanding of the mechanisms behind transgenerational trauma by tracing the transmission of the effects of the author’s grandfather’s post-traumatic stress disorder, arising from his involvement in some of the worst actions of WWI, through his mother to himself.

Design/methodology/approach
The approach uses the autoethnographic paradigm to elucidate some of the mechanisms involved in the transmission of trauma responses from one generation to the next.

Findings
The paper demonstrates how upsetting childhood experiences of the author had their origin in his mother’s wartime experience a decade earlier, which themselves were influenced by his grandfather’s wartime experience 30 years before that.

Originality/value
The originality of the research rests on the fact that it is a study of three generations of one particular family. However, its value lies in the applicability of its results in a wider context.
Artificial intelligence’s impact on theme parks’ competitiveness: role of information systems and organisational agility
Authors: Darwish Doaa , El-Adly Mohammed , Ahmad Syed Zamberi 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to explore how information systems (IS) capabilities, organisational agility and artificial intelligence orientation (AIO) influence the competitive advantage (CA) of theme parks operated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected using a survey of 341 theme park representatives. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses and multigroup analysis was applied to examine the control variables.

Findings
The results show that theme parks with strong IS capabilities tend to achieve significant competitive edge. In addition, theme parks that are more agile outperform their competitors. However, although artificial intelligence (AI) tools are crucial, they do not necessarily strengthen the impact of these capabilities on a theme parks’ success.

Practical implications
Theme park operators should invest in technology that improves operational efficiency and customer service while building flexible organisational structures that swiftly adapt to market trends. Although AI is valuable, the real focus of UAE theme parks should be on strengthening their ability to adapt and effectively use IS, which directly contributes to a sustained CA.

Originality/value
This study uniquely integrates IS capabilities and agility with an AIO, offering fresh perspectives for theme parks in the UAE to navigate technological shifts. The findings suggest that successful digital adaptation relies on balancing technological capabilities with agile practices.
Sensory marketing in the metaverse for tourism preview and tourism pre-experience: the effect on the intention to visit tourist destinations
Authors: Casais Beatriz , Coelho Tiago , Escadas Marco 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to analyse the effect of vision, hearing and haptics on tourism metaverse previews and pre-experiences and compares the effects of metaverse previews and pre-experiences on the intention to visit.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 172 individuals answered an online survey about their previous interaction with the tourism metaverse – 104 had tourism metaverse previews, and 68 had tourism metaverse pre-experiences. Then, a case study of a tourism metaverse pre-experience was analysed to strengthen and further understand the quantitative study.

Findings
While vision and hearing are significant in tourism metaverse previews, only vision and haptics contribute to obtaining a sense of presence in tourism metaverse pre-experiences, although the potential of hearing. Tourism metaverse pre-experiences have a stronger positive impact on the intention to visit the destination than tourism metaverse previews.

Practical implications
Practitioners should integrate the sense of haptics in the metaverse pre-experiences, despite the costs involved, because the immersive sense of presence has stronger effects on visit intentions than metaverse previews. However, the dependence on sensorial stimuli and the effect on tourism growth may limit the advantages of metaverse as an alternative for impaired tourists and to reduce overtourism.

Originality/value
This paper clarifies the different effects that each sensory stimulus has in the sense of presence, depending on different levels of immersiveness, requiring congruence. The value of metaverse pre-experiences is highlighted with the evidence of strengthening the intention to visit.
ChatGPT for travel-related services: a pleasure–arousal–dominance perspective
Authors: Xu Han , Li Xi , Lovett Jonathan C. , Cheung Lewis T.O. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study uses the pleasure–arousal–dominance (PAD) theory to explore how users’ emotional engagement with ChatGPT drives their continued adoption of ChatGPT and word-of-mouth (WOM) behaviour in the context of travel-related service.

Design/methodology/approach
This study obtained reliable data from 428 Chinese respondents who used ChatGPT for travel-related purposes. Structural equation modelling was used to test a series of hypotheses based on the PAD framework.

Findings
This study identifies three key features of human–artificial intelligence (AI) interaction, namely, service ubiquity, entertainment and anthropomorphism, which significantly influence users’ emotional responses, including pleasure, arousal and dominance. Dominance and pleasure are found to enhance emotional experiences, driving continued adoption and positive WOM recommendations for ChatGPT, whereas arousal influences WOM but does not affect continued adoption. The results also confirm that users’ perceived pleasure from interacting with ChatGPT has the strongest effect. These findings advance theoretical understanding by clarifying the emotional mechanisms underlying human–AI interactions in the tourism context.

Originality/value
This study examines the emerging trend of tourists’ continuous adoption of ChatGPT for travel-related services. The results highlight how different emotions in human–AI interaction influence long-term use of AI-powered tool for travel-related services.
Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency
Authors: Gómez Jose M. , Perfectti Francisco , González‐Megías Adela , Armas Cristina 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for organisms to adapt to changing environments and to meet the challenges posed by anthropogenic global change.

Consequently, an increasing number of studies are investigating phenotypic plasticity in many systems and ecological scenarios. This has led to the development of multiple and disparate methodological approaches.

In this article, we propose a methodological framework that considers phenotypic plasticity as a trait property detected by constructing genotype‐based reaction norms that can be modelled using mixed‐effect models.

We do not claim that this methodology is the only existing alternative for studying plasticity, but we believe it is a standard and consistent approach that allows for a rigorous assessment of the magnitude and between‐genotype variation in plasticity.

Abundant top predators increase species interaction network complexity in northeastern Chinese forests
Authors: She Wen , Holyoak Marcel , Gu Jiayin , Qi Jinzhe , Liu Shuyan , Jiang Guangshun 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Species interactions remain a cornerstone in shaping community dynamics and structure, alongside other factors, such as climate conditions and human activities. Although network structure is known to influence community stability and ecosystem functioning, the roles of top predators in shaping interaction network structure remain obscure.

We examined a 5–7‐year time series of species detections for mammal communities in multiple protected areas to investigate the association between top predators and interaction network structure.

Our findings suggest that abundant species, day‐active species and species with wide habitat breadth interact with more species, as did species that were more affected by vehicle disturbance. With increased densities of top predators, interaction networks exhibited greater complexity, with increased connectance, nestedness and average degree. An increased density of mesopredators, such as yellow‐throated martens and badgers, was associated with sparser, less nested, but more centralized interaction networks. Top predators reduced the degree of highly interactive species, making them more specialized, and increased the degree of less abundant species, making them more general. In particular, this redistribution of interactions was not driven by direct changes in species density of top predators but seemingly by non‐consumptive or indirect effects.

Our findings emphasize the pivotal role of the main predators in structuring interactions within northeastern China's mammal communities, with large implications for conservation and management.
Integrating plasticity into conservation practice: Harnessing genetic estimates of epigenetic potential to study phenotypic plasticity in wild populations
Authors: Sheldon Elizabeth L. , Martin Lynn B. , Schrey Aaron W. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

The delineation of conservation units is essential for policy makers to target distinct groups of organisms for bespoke management. Genomic data have revolutionised the delineation of conservation units by enabling the detection of adaptive genetic variation and population structure. However, to date, genomic data have not been harnessed for their potential to identify (and thus preserve) variation in phenotypic plasticity—a major mechanism enabling organisms to tolerate and exploit environmental change.

An organism's capacity to express phenotypic plasticity via epigenetic modifications of its genome is termed ‘epigenetic potential’. Here, we outline how variation in specific genomic elements could be used to estimate epigenetic potential and perhaps the capacity for wild animals to express phenotypic plasticity. We highlight case studies suggesting that epigenetic potential is selectively advantageous in environments demanding high phenotypic plasticity. We then outline avenues for future research to validate and leverage epigenetic potential data as a conservation tool to study phenotypic plasticity in wild populations.

Policy implications: The development of practical tools to estimate phenotypic plasticity is necessary to foster a more integrative field of conservation science—one that acknowledges the evolutionary significance of genotype, epigenotype, and environment interactions.

AbstractBackgroundThis study sought to identify effective health warnings about alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk among young adult female participants.MethodsWe tested a pool of health warnings in a national pilot study. We used the most effective designs from the pilot in the main experiment where young (ages 21–29) U.S. adult female participants (N = 1038) reporting past 30‐day alcohol consumption were randomly assigned into 1 of 4 conditions where they viewed a health warning about (1) mortality, (2) mastectomy, (3) hair loss, or (4) control (non‐health warning message). Participants were then randomly assigned to view 1 of 2 message types within each condition: text‐only or pictorial. Warnings were shown apart from products. Outcomes were message reactions (attention to and cognitive elaboration of warnings, fear, hope, and perceived message effectiveness), attitudes and beliefs (perceived severity and susceptibility to alcohol harms, and perceived response and self‐efficacy to prevent alcohol harms), and behavioral intentions to stop or to reduce alcohol consumption in the next month.ResultsMultivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) models testing between warning conditions showed estimated marginal means (EMM) for every health warning condition were significantly higher than the control for attention (control = 5.80 vs. mortality = 6.63, mastectomy = 6.81, hair loss = 6.83, all ps < 0.05), fear (control = 2.45 vs. mortality = 4.11, mastectomy = 4.16, hair loss = 4.02, ps < 0.05), perceived message effectiveness (control = 3.44 vs. mortality = 5.75, mastectomy = 5.82, hair loss = 6.09, ps < 0.05), and perceived severity of alcohol harms (control = 5.51 vs. mortality = 6.25, mastectomy = 6.09, hair loss = 6.35, ps < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the health warnings about cancer effects for perceived message effectiveness. EMMs for intentions to reduce alcohol consumption in the next month were significantly higher in the mortality (6.44) and hair loss (6.35) conditions versus control (5.61, ps < 0.05).ConclusionExposure to health warnings about alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk (vs. control) resulted in greater attention, fear, perceived message effectiveness, perceived severity of alcohol harms, and intentions to reduce alcohol consumption.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTTooth tissue loss due to dental caries is frequently challenging to restore, and this loss is made worse by proximal tooth borders that extend below the gingival margin. This report describes a digitally designed case in which the ferrule and supracrestal tissue attachment were preserved by simultaneous double magnetic extrusion of two root filled teeth. A 67‐year‐old male presented with the chief concern of a fractured maxillary left canine. The maxillary left lateral incisor and canine underwent rapid magnetic extrusion to create ferrules (3 mm). Eighteen months after treatment, the restorative margins were sound and the teeth with associated periodontal tissues were healthy. The positive results demonstrate that the combination of digital planning and double magnetic extrusion has potential as a technique for restoring severely damaged teeth where insufficient supra‐gingival tooth tissue remains. Adjacent root canal treated teeth with severe loss of coronal structure are suitable candidates for double magnetic extrusion.

ABSTRACTAimTo assess the prevalence of endocrine disorders and investigate growth patterns in single large‐scale mitochondrial DNA deletion syndromes (SLSMDs).MethodsA retrospective study of all children with SLSMD who attended Sheba Medical Center, Israel, from February 2017 to September 2024.ResultsThe cohort included 18 individuals (9 males). The mean age at diagnosis was 4 ± 3.8 years and the mean age at analysis was 12 ± 5.2 years. All patients exhibited at least one endocrine disorder within 5 years post‐diagnosis. The most common were short stature (94%), hypoparathyroidism (83%), diabetes (33%), and delayed puberty (30%). A median of seven height measurements per individual produced 159 data points, which enabled generating unique growth charts. The mean puberty height‐SDS was significantly lower than that of the general population (−3.71 ± 1.17, p < 0.001). The mean Childhood and puberty height‐SDS were significantly reduced compared to the preschool period (−2.13 ± 1.13 vs. −3.35 ± 1.04, p = 0.01; −2.06 ± 1.03 vs. −3.71 ± 1.17, p = 0.007). The mean delta in height‐SDS from their parents and the mean insulin‐like growth factor 1‐SDS were lower than in the general population (2.36 ± 1.28, p = 0.0001 and − 1.53 ± 0.98, p < 0.0001, respectively).ConclusionAll patients with SLSMD presented with endocrine disorders. Growth during childhood and adolescence was slower. Patients with SLSMD are predisposed to endocrine complications and should undergo timely and routine evaluations.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundFibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a metabolic regulator with demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH). FGF21 signals through ‘c’ isoforms of the FGF receptors (FGFR) 1–3 and the co‐receptor β‐klotho.AimsWe report the safety and efficacy of MK‐3655, a monoclonal antibody that binds β‐klotho and selectively activates the FGFR1c/β‐klotho co‐receptor complex, in patients with pre‐cirrhotic MASH.MethodsPhase 2b, randomised, multicenter, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group study in patients with pre‐cirrhotic MASH (NAS ≥ 4 and MASH CRN fibrosis score Stage 2 or 3). Participants were randomised 1:1:1:1 to receive MK‐3655 50 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg, or matching placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis by histology at Week 52. An interim analysis (IA) of liver fat content (LFC) was planned once ≥ 25 participants per treatment group completed an MRI‐PDFF assessment at Week 24.ResultsAmong 183 participants, mean BMI was 33.4 kg/m2, mean LFC was 18.1%, and 52.5% had type 2 diabetes. At the IA, the differences from placebo in relative reduction from baseline in LFC were assessed as insufficient for continuation of the trial. Among participants with Week 24 LFC assessment, percent relative reductions from baseline (LS mean difference vs. placebo) for MK‐3655 50 mg (N = 33), 100 mg (N = 36), and 300 mg (N = 31), were 19.1%, 19.0%, and 26.1%, respectively. MK‐3655 was generally well tolerated.ConclusionsIn patients with pre‐cirrhotic MASH, treatment with MK‐3655 resulted in a modest reduction in LFC at 24 weeks.Clinical Trial NumberEudraCT: 2019‐003048‐63; NCT: 04583423.
Prerequisites for a computational approach to Minoan chronology
Authors: Panagiotopoulos Diamantis , Trognitz Martina 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe paper examines the development, adoption, and limitations of the relative chronology system for Minoan pottery, initially established by Sir Arthur Evans and Duncan Mackenzie during the excavation of Knossos (1900–1906). Despite its weaknesses, this system remained largely unchanged due to its convenience rather than its accuracy. The study discusses adaptations of this framework, critiques its shortcomings—particularly in obscuring temporal variability—and explores alternative approaches, including computational methods and Linked Open Data (LOD). The proposed solution involves replacing rigid periodizations with a more precise system based on synchronisms, visualized through Gantt charts, and integrating regional sequences using mathematical modeling. The goal is to enhance chronological accuracy in Minoan archaeology, especially for critical transitional periods.

AbstractThe relationship between the total length of fish and the morphometric characteristics of their otoliths (length, width, and weight) was examined in striped snakehead (Channa striata, Bloch, 1793) specimens collected from the River Ganga and its two tributaries in India. Channa striata, a commercially valuable species in India, was the focus of this study, which aimed to analyse the statistical correlations between the fish's total and standard lengths and their corresponding otolith measurements, with the expectation that the data will contribute to future research on the species' biology, particularly its age, and growth patterns. Both linear and non‐linear regression models were applied, and the regression equations varied significantly between the three collection sites. These findings represent the first investigation into the relationship between otolith morphology and total fish length for striped snakehead from the River Ganga and its tributaries in India.
