SummarySleep loss typically imposes negative effects on animal health. However, humans with a rare genetic mutation in thedec2gene (dec2P384R) present an exception; these individuals sleep less without the usual effects associated with sleep deprivation. Thus, it has been suggested that thedec2P384Rmutation activates compensatory mechanisms that allows these individuals to thrive with less sleep. To test this directly, we used aDrosophilamodel to study the effects of thedec2P384Rmutation on animal health. Expression of humandec2P384Rin fly sleep neurons was sufficient to mimic the short sleep phenotype and, remarkably,dec2P384Rmutants lived significantly longer with improved health despite sleeping less. The improved physiological effects were enabled, in part, by enhanced mitochondrial fitness and upregulation of multiple stress response pathways. Moreover, we provide evidence that upregulation of pro-health pathways also contributes to the short sleep phenotype, and this phenomenon may extend to other pro-longevity models.

Published: April 2023

AbstractAdaptor protein 14-3-3s have isoform-specific binding partners and roles. We reported 14-3-3β interacts with FKBP12 and synaptopodin to maintain the structure of actin fibers in podocytes. However, differential roles of 14-3-3 isoforms in kidneys are unclear. Herein, we showed that 14-3-3β was dominantly co-localized with FKBP12 in foot processes and was partially co-localized with Par3 at slit diaphragm in podocytes. 14-3-3β interacted with Par3, and FKBP12 bound to 14-3-3β competitively with Par3. Although deletion of 14-3-3β enhanced the interaction of Par3-Par6, it altered actin fiber structure and processes. 14-3-3β and synaptopodin were downregulated in podocyte injury models. 14-3-3σ in podocytes interacted with vimentin in primary processes but not with the actin-associated proteins in foot processes. Deletion of 14-3-3σ altered vimentin fiber structure and processes. 14-3-3σ and vimentin were upregulated in the early phase of podocyte injury models but were decreased in the end stage. Together, the precise localization of 14-3-3β at actin cytoskeleton plays a role in maintaining foot processes and Par complex in podocytes. 14-3-3σ at vimentin cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining primary processes.
Online sustainability claims: lessons from high-scoring B corporations in the Canadian food and beverage sector
Authors: Lumby Natalia , Ngwenyama Ojelanki 
Published: April 2023

PurposeSustainability certifications can support green innovation in important consumer sectors such as food and beverage. This research interrogates how certified companies communicate sustainability claims online and whether these practices differ from non-certified counterparts. The purpose of the study is to understand if certification stands to alter online communication about sustainability.Design/methodology/approachA discourse analysis of the websites and social media accounts of three highly-rated Canadian B Corps and three matching non-certified companies inductively identified 5 types of sustainability claims: transparency, brand story, green materials/processes, community engagement and sourcing partnerships. A comparative analysis was used to determine if certification alters corporate sustainability communication practices of firms.FindingsThe findings indicate that sustainability certifications alter external online sustainability communication. Of the 457 sustainability claims coded in the sample, 67.6% are from certified firms. Attaining certification also alters the areas of communication focus, increasing communication about the socially oriented community engagement dimension, which is often underrepresented.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the understanding of sustainability communication among privately held small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are currently underrepresented in the literature. The unique sampling used in this study considers how communication is altered post-certification as a novel way to understand the impacts of sustainability certifications.
Mycelium as sustainable textile material – review on recent research and future prospective
Authors: Rathinamoorthy R. , Sharmila Bharathi T. , Snehaa M. , Swetha C. 
Published: April 2023

PurposeMycelium is an upcoming bio-based alternative material that has various applications in different industries. Mycelium materials used as composites, leather, construction materials and some are even available for commercial purposes. However, there was not much research found when it came to the application of mycelium as a textile alternative. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential of mycelium in the textile industry and its possible applications.Design/methodology/approachThis review consolidates literature that refers the two major methods used in fungal mycelium production namely; as a composite and as a pure self-grown mycelium sheet. The study compared the current research status in this respective field and reported the scope in the pure mycelium development.FindingsThe results of the review reported that several research works are performed in composite production with different feedstock. The production methods and product development steps were well established for several applications from home utilities to construction materials. Whereas, in the case of self-grown mycelium sheet production only limited research works were found. Though the possibilities of engineered composite sheets are developed with various properties, research on self-grown pure mycelium sheets are at infant stage. Sensitive production methods, lower tensile, tearing, poor handle properties with brittle structure and non-uniformity in thickness are noted as limitations. Sustainable nature, self-grown three-dimensional nano-fibril network with porous structure are found to be advantageous.Originality/valueThe solid culture method was identified as a potential method to develop a sheet-like self-grown mycelium with different dimensions. The review results clearly show the lack of research in the direct application of self-grown pure mycelium area concerning feedstock material, fungal species selection and characterization of the developed product. Addressing the existing limitations will yield a sustainable textile material for fashion and textile industry with great potential.
Intra-organisational sustainable development policy integration processes in higher education through staff networks: a case study from the United Kingdom
Authors: Vargas Valeria Ruiz 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This study aims to better inform environmental management at universities by applying and validating the policy integration processes theory through a case study of Manchester Metropolitan University.

Design/methodology/approach
Social network analyses were used to identify, differentiate and categorise working networks of individuals and departments and the interconnections between them.

Findings
In an organisation, networks can be developed and active at departmental level but not at individual level. High numbers of departments can be doing work related to sustainable development whilst having low and medium levels of interconnections between departments. Influence of stakeholders throughout the network suggests levels of sustainable development policy integration at individual and departmental.

Practical implications
New insights provide evidence for universities’ environmental managers of the need of developing and implementing strategies that involve individuals’ work between departments by providing incentives, supporting capacity building and staff empowerment.

Originality/value
This paper applied and validated the theory of policy integration processes, showing that work at individual level and between departments needs more attention.
Educational leadership for migrant and refugee education: challenges and dilemmas in the Israeli context
Authors: Sarid Ariel , Binhas Adi 
Published: April 2023

PurposeThis research explores the perceptions and practice of principals in schools integrating migrant and refugee children into the Israeli formal education system. The aim is to offer theoretical and methodological insights to the discourse on educational leadership.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative (phenomenological) study used semi-structured interviews to attain a deeper understanding of the experiences of school principals as culturally relevant educational leaders.FindingsThe study corroborates previous findings regarding: the need for a holistic multidimensional approach; the focus on language and communication; and the complexities and dilemmas involved in the practice of educational leadership. The study analysis revealed three central dilemmas: applying equal-opportunity and cultural diversity policies; schools as protected spaces and serving the social reality beyond the school; and full assimilation and recognition of specific cultural identity.Research limitations/implicationsThe research was conducted in a small number of schools and only with principals. A follow-up study could also include teachers, officials and representatives of the various organizations working with the migrants and refugees.Practical implicationsBeyond financial resources, school leaders need professional (culturally responsive) guidance to support the multifaceted and complex needs of students, in part by being adaptable and flexible, and aware of the aims and practice of education for an unknown future.Originality/valueThe originality-value of the present study is threefold: it explores school principals in a relatively unexplored context (the Israeli formal education system); it applies two models for organizing and analyzing research findings; and it contributes new insights on the dilemmatic nature of educational leadership.
Juxtaposing the “shareholder” and “stakeholder” views of corporate governance: a pedagogical structure for classroom discussion
Authors: Callanan Gerard , Tomkowicz Sandra M. , Teague Megan V. , Perri David F. 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This study aims to present a pedagogical approach that allows students to discuss and debate the differences between two competing models of corporate governance – the shareholder primacy philosophy and the stakeholder value viewpoint.

Design/methodology/approach
This study first presents the conceptual bases for each framework, noting that while shareholder primacy is the historically dominant approach to corporate governance that guide strategic business actions in the USA, pressures from investor and societal groups and government agencies have forced publicly traded companies to recognize the need to take stakeholder interests into account in strategic decision-making, as is the dominant model in Europe and other parts of the world. This study then provides a pedagogical structure on how these opposing perspectives can be used to foster discussion, debate and reflection within the classroom.

Findings
This paper presents a pedagogical structure that allows students to recognize the competing pressures that businesses face of maximizing profits versus concerns over social causes. There are a number of positive pedagogical outcomes that can be realized from a classroom discourse on the differing perspectives on strategic management, corporate governance and social responsibility.

Practical implications
This pedagogical structure should help future business leaders throughout the world understand the differences between the two models of corporate governance. This study offers suggestions on how this pedagogical structure can be used in the student assessment process.

Originality/value
This study fills a gap in the literature by providing a pedagogical structure to guide discussion and debate on the competing theories of corporate governance and how organizational decision-makers can devise strategies to manage the potential competing demands that can arise from the shareholder versus stakeholder models. It is highly relevant and well-suited for courses such as Business Law, Business Policy, Business and Society and Ethics.
Training for psychiatric assessments using virtual simulation
Authors: Stewart Claire Jane , Ba Mashmous Aiesha 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
The changing clinical landscape in psychiatry, both before and after the pandemic, has impacted students’ direct contact with psychiatric patients. It is imperative, therefore, that medical education keeps pace with evolving clinical pathways to ensure that clinicians are always appropriately trained not just for common presentations but also for low-prevalence, high-risk situations. Simulated-based training is well established. However, it is not without its limitations, many of which could be overcome with the use of virtual simulation. This study aims to analyse the use of virtual simulation within medical education to train clinicians in psychiatric assessments.

Design/methodology/approach
A scoping review was undertaken with a comprehensive literature search of the six most relevant online peer-reviewed databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane. All published papers in English that discussed simulation in teaching psychiatric assessments were included.

Findings
Virtual patients can be used for educational, diagnostic and therapy purposes attributable to advances in speech-recognition technology. Virtual simulations are well received and positively affect clinicians’ knowledge and skill development. Educational faculties should consider using virtual simulation technologies to improve learning outcomes. Further studies should enhance the fidelity and quality of virtual assessment simulation situations, mainly focusing on the virtual patient’s empathy, gesturing and body language to enable this evidence-based tool to be used effectively and efficiently for the benefit of future patient care.

Originality/value
The changing clinical landscape in psychiatry, both before and after the pandemic, has impacted students’ direct contact with psychiatric patients. This scoping review has reviewed the use of virtual simulation-based education to train clinicians for psychiatric assessments. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work has not been conducted before.
Is the UK’s anti-money laundering regime “worth the candle”? A tentative cost-benefit analysis
Authors: Sproat Peter Alan 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to raise, and consider, first-order questions about the United Kingdom’s anti-money laundering (AML) regime.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper contrasts the original rationale for introducing AML and asset recovery to the UK with data on the assets recovered from organised crime and those involved in drug trafficking. It does this by analysing historical and contemporaneous literature – both official and academic.

Findings
When assessed against its original aims of combating drugs and organised crime, the tentative conclusion is that the UK’s AML system does not appear to be worth the candle.

Research limitations/implications
While based upon publicly available information that is far from ideal, the analysis raises credible questions as to whether the UK’s AML regime is worthwhile and whether it could be done differently.

Practical implications
Raises the question of whether the impact of the AML regime could be made worthwhile by investing a great deal more in those law enforcement agencies that use the suspicious activity reporting regime. It also raises the question as to whether the AML regime could be re-purposed to achieve aims that are different from the original.

Social implications
Given the financial costs, which run into billions of pounds, and the fact that the regime has failed to have a significant impact on the level of drug trafficking or the revenue of organised criminals, the paper raises questions as to when the policy can be re-designed or abandoned.

Originality/value
While most other analytical work simply makes suggestions as to how to improve the number of inputs into the AML system, this paper provides a critical analysis of the costs and benefits of the AML regime in the UK.

Published: April 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the willingness of Saudi Arabian students from four universities in Saudi Arabia, to adopt learning management systems (LMSs). This will be accomplished by using two popular technology acceptance models unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachIn total, 445 undergraduates from four Saudi educational institutions participate in filling out the study questionnaire. To investigate the correlations between the variables, the study used structural equation modeling for data analysis.FindingsThe results of the study show that effort expectancy (EE), subjective norm (SN), attitude toward behavior (ATB) and perceived behavioral control (PBC) are found to be substantially connected with their intentions to use (ITU) LMSs. The findings also show that there is a strong relationship between students’ intentions and their actual use of LMSs.Research limitations/implicationsLike many studies, this research has some limitations. The primary limitation is that the findings of the study cannot be extrapolated to other settings since the report’s analysis and investigation were limited to four Saudi universities. Therefore, to generalize the study’s findings, similar research needs to be conducted in other Gulf and similar cultural universities.Practical implicationsThe integrated model identifies key factors that influence the intent of Saudi Arabian students to use LMS, including EEs, social influence, ATB and PBC. This model can help develop solutions for the obstacles that prevent students from using LMS. The findings can be used to provide assistance to increase the likelihood of LMS acceptance as part of the educational experience. The model may also inspire further research on this topic in the Gulf nations, particularly in Saudi Arabia.Originality/valueAs none of the relevant studies conducted previously in Saudi Arabia has integrated the two models to study the students’ ITU LMSs, this study combines two major theories, TPB and UTAUT, in the context of Saudi Arabia, contributing to the field of technology use in education by expanding empirical research and providing a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with the use of LMS in Saudi universities. This study should be viewed as filling a crucial gap in the field. Moreover, this integrated model, using more than one theoretical perspective, brings a thorough comprehension of the barriers that hinder students’ adoption of LMSs in the academic context in Saudi Arabia and thus assists in making effective decisions and reaching viable solutions.
Using the voice of the student to identify perceptions of teaching effectiveness attributes: a pilot study
Authors: Cudney Elizabeth A. , Anderson Somer , Beane Robbie , Furterer Sandra , Mohandas Lakshmy , Laux Chad 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
Teaching effectiveness is essential to student learning, engagement and success. This study aims to identify the perceived teaching effectiveness attributes from the student’s perspective through a pilot study.

Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive literature review identified 6 demographic and 25 teaching effectiveness characteristics. The Kano model was used to gather and analyze the student’s voices. The research validated the survey instrument using Cronbach’s alpha to ensure internal consistency and Chi-square goodness of fit to test the data distribution. Differences in response patterns were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. Furthermore, the magnitude of the effect between the teaching effectiveness attributes was determined using Cramer’s V test.

Findings
This study determined that students perceived 19 attributes as one-dimensional, 3 as indifferent, 2 as attractive and 1 as one-dimensional and attractive. The analysis found differences in response patterns concerning readings and materials, grading rubrics to set assignment expectations and group/teamwork on projects.

Research limitations/implications
As a pilot study, the sample size was small. Additional research should validate the survey using a larger sample. While the study results are specific to the college surveyed, other educators can use the methodology to identify the attributes important to their students.

Practical implications
Categorizing attributes based on the student’s voice enables instructors to focus on attributes that will improve the learning experience.

Originality/value
This research provides a comprehensive methodology for identifying critical teaching effectiveness attributes from the student’s perspective.

Authors: Malik Shehla 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
With the increasing trend of a diverse workforce, encouraging inclusive leadership holds the key for improving employee experience of all work group members. This review aims to describe various stages of the inclusive leadership continuum to identify the current status of manager’s inclusiveness. It also highlights six important signature traits that managers can build to become successful inclusive leaders by transitioning across these stages.

Design/methodology/approach
This study draws on existing literature in the domain of inclusive leadership. It extensively reviews the inclusive leadership continuum and the six important traits that may guide managers to become more inclusive in their approach at workplace.

Findings
An important contribution of this study is to help managers find out where they are located on the inclusive leadership continuum and how they can reach its next stage to become more inclusive. This study lists six behavioural traits, namely, cognizance, curiosity, courage, commitment, cultural intelligence and collaboration to facilitate development of an inclusive leader.

Practical implications
Organizations can identify at which stage managers are situated on the inclusive leadership continuum. This study also explains six signature traits essential for managers to transition from one stage to another. These traits can be inculcated in managers through well-designed inclusive leadership development programs.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is unique because it presents an integrated framework to explain which key traits should be developed by managers to move along the inclusive leadership continuum and become successful inclusive leaders.
