Authors: E-Vahdati Sahar , Wan-Hussin Wan Nordin , Ling Oon Hun 
Published: January 2022

Learning outcomes
This study enables to critique the development of a sustainability strategy brand; integrated reports, sustainability reports, usage of safe internet and online learning skills to reduce inequalities and increase stakeholders’ values.

Case overview/synopsis
Digi Telecommunications (Digi) has been publishing annual sustainability reporting in line with Global Reporting Initiatives since 2009. Albern Murty, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Digi, the largest player in the mobile telecommunications industry in Malaysia by the number of subscribers, decided to establish a responsible business brand known as Yellow Heart in 2018 to better serve their stakeholders demand. There was a low stakeholder understanding of Digi’s sustainability efforts and societal impacts. Digi’s Sustainability department aspired to make Yellow Heart the best industry practice for continuous improvements by making Responsible Business commitment one of the main pillars of the company’s strategy and vision. Yellow Heart was linked to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)10 on reducing inequalities by focusing on Digital Inclusion and Resilience to increase safe access opportunities, provide marginalized communities with opportunities to pursue interests in digital learning pathways and create a more sustainable digital future for all. The case study illustrates the sustainability management at Digi and the planned migration from sustainability reporting to integrated reporting to build trust in the business with all the stakeholders. The case dilemma involves the challenges that Philip Ling Oon Hun, the Head of the Sustainability, faced in deciding the SDGs to focus on and measuring and reporting their outcomes to contribute to the greater good, not only in pure business terms but also to society at large.

Complexity academic level
This case is appropriate for undergraduate or graduate-level programs in Accounting, Corporate Governance and Strategy Implementation.

Factors influencing urban tourists’ receptivity to ecogamified applications: a study on transports and mobility
Authors: Souza Viviane Silva , Marques Susana Regina Bacelar de Vasconcelos 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe literature on the factors that enhance ecogamification and the intention to use smart tourism applications is vast and increasing. However, most studies tend to focus on the “user”, rather than the “tourist”, and that gap is the trigger for the present research. The purpose of this paper is to examine how home and travel environmental behaviour, travel motivations, types of entertainment (digital and non-digital) and technology proficiency (professional vs non-professional) influence the receptivity of urban tourists to different game elements in a transport and mobility context.Design/methodology/approachThe study carried out a qualitative experiment with focus groups, with a total of 16 urban tourists. The software webQDA was used to systematize and categorize data and to analyze the content.FindingsThe results suggest differences and similarities in terms of receptivity of urban tourists to ecogamification, which might have implications for future studies on urban tourists’ typologies and segments and also for providers of ecogamified services, game designers and marketers.Originality/valueRather than addressing the game elements per se (which, in this research, are seen as means to an end), the novelty resides in the combination of characteristics that intersect urban tourism (travel motivations), gamification (entertainment preferences and technology proficiency) and sustainability (home–travel environmental behaviour). This intersection provides a lens to interpret tourists’ receptivity and interaction with different game elements (cooperation, reward, points, avatar and ranking).
Marketing performance: aligning people, processes, and results
Authors: Pimenta da Gama António 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to integrate and extend existing knowledge about marketing performance assessment, making a case for a measurement system identifying five categories of metrics on which attention should be focused.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper is organized in three parts. It starts with a summary of the current state of knowledge about marketing performance assessment, followed by the presentation of the model in terms of its rationale and architecture. Then, the metrics that make up the model are explained and operationalized. Lastly, a concluding note is presented.

Findings
Both scholars and managers have been calling for methods and concepts addressing the how and why marketing succeeds or fails. The author believes that certain metrics, when integrated into a holistic and actionable framework, can have a positive and transformational impact on the way marketing is measured in organizations.

Originality/value
Metrics are meaningless when viewed in isolation. Yet, most of the literature on the subject focus on individual indicators. Also, it tends to overemphasize marketing outcomes. This work offers a complementary view to what has already been written on the subject, suggesting a performance assessment model that highlights requirements/prerequisites, processes, outcomes and organizational context.
The role of Islamic ethics in shaping passion for social innovation
Authors: Boussema Samira , Belkacem Lotfi 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to study the role of ethics in the social innovation process and its effect on entrepreneurial passion. It explores the factors that encourage social entrepreneurs to innovate by examining the concepts of harmonious and obsessive passion and ethics.

Design/methodology/approach
The database consists of 97 entrepreneurs who benefited from the services offered by the support organizations for social entrepreneurs. The data are analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings
The results show that Islamic ethics has a positive effect on social innovation. This effect can be further amplified by harmonious passion (HP). Such passion certainly strengthens social entrepreneurs throughout the innovation process and consolidates the implementation phase of their projects.

Practical implications
This study highlights the importance of ethics in the process of social innovation. Ethics acts directly or through HP to stimulate social innovation. This passion enables taking actions and favors the creation of innovative social projects.

Originality/value
These findings add value to the previous literature by introducing ethics into the entrepreneurial passion theory and exploring new factors that promote social innovation.
Learning effectiveness of 3D virtual reality in hospitality training: a situated cognitive perspective
Authors: Lui Tsz-Wai , Goel Lakshmi 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
Training is one of the key dimensions of internal marketing. Virtual reality (VR), a computer technology that replicates an environment (real or imagined) and simulates a user’s physical presence in that environment to allow for user interaction, offers unique opportunities from a training perspective, such as allowing users to improve their skills without the consequence of failing real customers or the need to be in the real environment physically. This study aims to focus on comparing the effectiveness of VR hospitality training with that of real-world hospitality training.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts situated cognition theory to empirically test the effect of the awareness of contextual variables (social interaction, location and task) on learning and compare learning outcomes between tourism training in VR and real-world experimental settings.

Findings
Results indicate that location and task awareness enhance cognitive absorption, but social awareness does not influence cognitive absorption. There is no significant difference between training in real-world and VR environments. Finally, cognitive absorption has a positive effect on mental model change (the learning outcome).

Originality/value
This result advances the theoretical understanding on the significance of learning context by applying situated cognition theory in hospitality training and has significant implications for training that aims for rigor and efficiency within cost, location and time constraints.

Authors: Nouri Mehran , Sohaei Sara , Shalaby Mohammed Nader , Mehrabani Sanaz , Ramezani Atena , Faghih Shiva 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to assess the impact of curcumin supplementation body mass index and glycemic indices in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, Scopus and ISI web of science to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from the earliest record up to February 2021. The authors used a random-effects model to estimate pooled effect sizes.

Findings
A total of four potentially related clinical trials met the inclusion criteria which included a total of 198 participants. Random-effects meta-analysis showed significant effects of curcumin on fasting blood sugar (FBS) (−3.62 mg/dl, 95% CI [−5.65, −1.58], p-value < 0.001, I2 = 0.0%), insulin level (−1.67 µU/mL, 95% CI [−3.06, −0.28], p-value = 0.018, I2 = 0.0%) and homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (−0.42, 95% CI [−0.76, −0.09], p-value < 0.01, I2 = 0.0%). No evidence of publication bias was discovered in the meta-analyses.

Originality/value
Present systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs showed beneficial effects of curcumin consumption on FBS, insulin level and HOMA-IR in patients with PCOS. However, further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these results.
A mixed methods study of architectural education during the initial COVID-19 lockdown: student experiences in design studio and technology courses
Authors: Bakir Ramy , Alsaadani Sara 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe paper aims to understand and assess architecture students' experiences of online teaching during the initial lockdown caused by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic between March–June 2020. The exploratory study was conducted across two architectural engineering departments of two separate campuses of the same not-for-profit, non-governmental higher education institution in Cairo, Egypt, focusing on two course streams within their architectural curriculum; design-studio-based courses (DC) and technology courses (TC).Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods approach was used, where a questionnaire-based survey was developed to gather qualitative and quantitative data based on perceptions of a sample of 245 students. The survey quantitatively queried five dimensions related to students' learning experiences and qualitatively sought to evaluate both the positive experiences and challenges the students experienced.FindingsFindings outline that students' experiences were neutral but veered toward the positive end of the scale. Three factors appear to have affected students' learning experiences; students' reliance on educational technologies, the stage of architectural education students were enrolled in when they went into lockdown, and finally, quality and timing of feedback received. While challenges were faced during transition to the digital realm, these may have compelled students to take ownership of the students' own knowledge construction.Originality/valueResults provide a nuanced understanding of how students dealt with this critical transformation in architectural pedagogy at a unique moment in history, highlighting merits that could have an everlasting impact on design education during and after times of pandemic.

This activity offers an excellent opportunity for educators to ensure that students are engaged, motivated and are ready to apply the marketing concepts. This activity can be used in both undergraduate- and graduate-level courses.

Originality/value
“Marketing Challenge,” a long duration (full-term) experiential learning project described in this paper, provides the students an opportunity to experience the new product development process from the product conception, development to selling the developed product. The authors perceive that in the coming future, educators will use experiential learning elements in the classrooms to achieve the learning outcomes of various management courses.
“Lost in the literature.” People with intellectual disabilities who identify as trans: a narrative review
Authors: Keates Nathan , Dewar Eleanor , Waldock Krysia Emily 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This narrative review aims to examine how trans people with intellectual disabilities are perceived and discussed in the academic literature.

Design/methodology/approach
A narrative review was carried out to better understand the positioning of people with intellectual disabilities who identify as trans.

Findings
There was a lack of clear terminology, an over medicalization of both people with intellectual disabilities and trans people and evidence that identifying with a non-conforming gender identity was seen as a problem by services. Services need to be better informed about issues around gender identity so that they are able to better support trans people with intellectual disabilities.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous literature review has focused only on trans people with intellectual disabilities.

CRISPR/Cas9‐induced disruption of Bodo saltans paraflagellar rod‐2 gene reveals its importance for cell survival
Authors: Gomaa Fatma , Li Zhu‐Hong , Beaudoin David J. , Alzan Heba , Girguis Peter R. , Docampo Roberto , Edgcomb Virginia P. 
Published: January 2022

SummaryDeveloping transfection protocols for marine protists is an emerging field that will allow the functional characterization of protist genes and their roles in organism responses to the environment. We developed a CRISPR/Cas9 editing protocol for Bodo saltans, a free‐living kinetoplastid with tolerance to both marine and freshwater conditions and a close non‐parasitic relative of trypanosomatids. Our results show that SaCas9/single‐guide RNA (sgRNA) ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex‐mediated disruption of the paraflagellar rod 2 gene (BsPFR2) was achieved using electroporation‐mediated transfection. The use of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing can increase the efficiency of targeted homologous recombination when a repair DNA template is provided. Our sequence analysis suggests two mechanisms for repairing double‐strand breaks in B. saltans are active; homologous‐directed repair (HDR) utilizing an exogenous DNA template that carries an antibiotic resistance gene and likley non‐homologous end joining (NHEJ). However, HDR was only achieved when a single (vs. multiple) SaCas9 RNP complex was provided. Furthermore, the biallelic knockout of BsPFR2 was detrimental for the cell, highlighting its essential role for cell survival because it facilitates the movement of food particles into the cytostome. Our Cas9/sgRNA RNP complex protocol provides a new tool for assessing gene functions in B. saltans and perhaps similar protists with polycistronic transcription.
A unique case of driving while under the influence of isopropanol
Authors: Kirkton Carrie A. , Limoges Jennifer F. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIsopropanol intoxication, whether accidental or intentional, is not unusual. Alcoholics have long‐resorted to isopropanol because of its availability and cost. The incidence of isopropanol intoxication with driving, however, has been reported only a few times in the literature. A unique case is reported where an individual intentionally drank isopropanol and was involved in a minor traffic incident. The individual’s impairment was not consistent with a preliminary breath test of 0.062%. The officer proceeded to an evidential breath test, but received an “interferent‐detected” result, and then requested a drug recognition expert (DRE). A full DRE evaluation was performed, indicating central nervous system depressants, marijuana, and narcotic analgesics. Laboratory analysis included chromatographic testing for volatiles and an immunoassay drug screen. Results were positive for isopropanol and acetone; no other compounds were detected. This case report provides a unique comprehensive evaluation of a driver under the influence of isopropanol.
The deubiquitinase OTUD1 inhibits non‐small cell lung cancer progression by deubiquitinating and stabilizing KLF4
Authors: Ma Xiaoyan , Wang Liming , Shi Guifang , Sun Shuqing 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundLung cancer results in the highest mortality associated with cancer worldwide. Non‐small cell cancer (NSCLC) is the leading subtype of lung cancer. Ovarian tumor protease (OTU) domain‐containing protein 1 (OTUD1) is a member of the OTU subfamily of DUBs, and its function in NSCLC remains unclear.MethodsGEPIA database was employed to reveal the expression level of OTUD1 in addition to Krüppel‐ like factor 4 (KLF4) in NSCLC tissue samples and prove the correlation between OTUD1 and KLF4. The protein level was estimated using western blot. Cell counting kit‐8 (CCK‐8) assay was used to detect cell viability and transwell assay was utilized to observe cell migration and invasion. Cycloheximide (CHX) was introduced to measure half‐lives of KLF4 and deubiquitination assay was used to detect deubiquitination ability of OTUD1.ResultsOTUD1 expression was downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. Overexpression of OTUD1 inhibited NSCLC cell progression and it was promoted by knockdown of OTUD1. OTUD1 was positively correlated with KLF4 and stabilized KLF4 at protein level by deubiquitinating KLF4. Overexpressing KLF4 dramatically eliminated the effects of OTUD1 on the development of NSCLC cells.ConclusionsOur study revealed that OTUD1 suppresses NSCLC progression by mediating KLF4 stabilization, which suggests a potential gene target for the future treatment of NSCLC.

AbstractBackground and objectivesDue to difficulties in identifying sufficient‐sized cohorts there remains uncertainty about prognostic and clinical differences that may be unique to asbestos‐related lung cancer (ARLC). In this study, we use the Helsinki Criteria to define a group of ex‐workers with lung cancer attributable to asbestos exposure and investigate differences that may exist.MethodsA total of 529 patients seeking workers’ compensation for their lung cancer were assigned to either ARLC or the non‐ARLC based on parameters defined in the Helsinki Criteria. Clinical and survival details were collected and analyzed.ResultsIn our study population, ARLC patients were on average older (72.1 ± 7.8) than non‐ARLC patients (66.5 ± 10.2, P < 0.001) and were more likely to be diagnosed as a result of incidental findings or screening program (P < 0.001). The groups were similar in terms of clinical characteristics with the only difference being that plaques were more prevalent among ARLC patients (P < 0.001). Differences were observed for median overall survival (OS), ARLC (9 months) and non‐ARLC (13 months, P = 0.005), as well for treatment (P = 0.01). After adjusting for age, however, these differences disappeared.ConclusionsAge at diagnosis, pleural plaques, and asymptomatic presentation were the attributes that we identified as significantly different between asbestos‐related cancer and other lung cancers. In this cohort, ARLC patients were older diagnosis and with worse overall survival.
