Lost in Transition- Quest for Identity Through Diaspora

The conceptualization of migration in literature which more often than not precipitates tragedy and in turn the dilemma in identity is associated with the literary concept of diaspora. Popularly categorized with the longing for homeland and its poetics, there is a rhetorical attempt to fathom the void caused due to displacement. The dichotomy of two identities, created due to tension between the former self-clinging to roots of origin and the latter trying to configure oneself within the framework of a new identity, contributes to the amalgamation of distinguishable individualities. Primarily, Diaspora literature is characterized by a sense of alienation and loss that envelopes the narrative and it is conditioned by the after-effects of expatriation migration. Generally, it revolves around themes of displacement, attempts to trace back existential roots, nostalgia, and the inescapable association of the dire quest for identity that diaspora and migration literature bring on to. It deals with the equivocacy of plurality and hybridization in the domain of constantly changing identities and transnationalism in the process of migration. The paper attempts to examine the various forms of literature and the way they concretize diaspora, as a result: evoking literary stimuli of longing for homeland due to displacement. It aims to encompass the realms of cultural, economic, social, religious, and political consciousness that change an individual's displacement from one dominion to another. The narrative is shaped into reality with devices of metaphors and zeugma to explain exaggerated realities. This paper specifically closely reads texts of various literary genres like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, a graphic novel, Salman Rushdie's essay Imaginary Homelands Rohinton Mistry's short story Swimming Lessons and Jhumpa Lahiri's novel, Namesake.

A LITERARY ANALYSIS OF LOVE POEMS BY ÖZDEMIR ASAF

Özdemir Asaf is considered one of the most important poets in the Turkish Literature in the twentieth century. He was born on 11th of June, 1923 in Ankara and died on 28th of January 1981 after a life lasted for 57 years. His grave is in AĢiyan Asri in Istanbul. He was famous in the Turkish literature during the republic period especially in National Literature. Although her published several short stories, he was well-known by his poetry that won several prizes and left a great influence among Turkish Nation. One of the best works among Özdemir Asaf’s poetry is Love poems published under the title Lafinia which includes 70 short poems. These poems collected some of his literary works and published them in a book by Paynar Akenci after several years after his death. Lafinia or Love Poems express its scope of importance in a way that reflects its title according to what has been written. The collection of poems were considered of high importance and one of the most well-read and published poems which makes them more brilliant. Literature is an attempt of writing including all discourses that must use a literary diction. In addition, literature has several types such as poetry, novel, short story, and drama. What makes the writings of the poet distinctive is his use of a high level of literary diction. The poetry of the poet is divided into several types like poetry, novel, short story, and drama. The common and unique point of all of his literary writings, as mentioned above, is that they have been written carefully both literary and technical in that period. The poet was considered a simple productive writer by his close use of ordinary daily life language faraway from the difficult academic language. Moreover, he uses the common aesthetic side. By nature, man hives a two-dimensional life. He has two different sides in his life, materialistic and spiritual. Man is materialistic by supporting his life, and spiritual by feelings and emotions. In addition, the psychological aspects that deal with the internal side of man like sadness, happiness, dejection, reproach, ecstasy, anger and surprise are concepts that cannot be completely described and difficult to interpret. Although there were different courses to understand such feelings, the literary interpretation is one of the most essential methods. In fact, poetry is spiritual shows the spiritual effect and it is a deep and sensitive expression of these effects. It is clear in the poetry of our poet by transforming the spiritual air into words through the diction of poetry. Özdemir Asaf is one of professors of poetry which expresses feeling and emotions. The basis of the subject of the research is a literary analysis of the love poems by the poet Özdemir Asaf. He is one of the poets whom we can see their literary style in its powerful meaning in all of the poems. The main subject of our research paper is this concept. We introduce the life of the poet Özdemir Asaf and his literary personality as well as his writings as he is considered one of the important poets in the twentieth century. We will give a detailed interpretation of the book of Love poems – Lafinia in its literary concept by introducing a literary analysis for Love poems of Özdemir Asaf.

BLACK HUMOUR IN A FAIRY TALE: VERBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT DEATH

The paper deals with the study of the influence of black humour elements on R. Dahl’s story “Pig”, qualified by us as a fairy tale genre. The purpose of the research is to describe the verbalization of the author’s individual concept DEATH as a key component for revealing the black-humorous tonality of the story. The model of fairy tale discourse has been specified, which presupposes the use of the initial formula, verbal elements, and patterned compositional structure. The peculiarities of R. Dahl’s creative method (reflected in the fairy tale), whose poetics is characterized by a vivid black-humorous component, have been considered. An interpretation of the lexeme ‘death’ in modern lexicographic sources of the English and Ukrainian languages has been provided. A conceptual model based on the arrangement of frames and slots has been introduced. The functioning of the concept DEATH in the author’s individual worldview has been analysed.
 In the short story “Pig” the writer draws the reader’s attention to the black-humorous macabre element, i. e. death, which is described tragicomically in the author’s and character’s speech with the help of linguistic means to indicate the hero’s enthusiastic and exciting mood and the entertaining tone of the story. Metaphors, contrast, irony, hyperbolization, and allusion occupy the leading place among them. The lexeme ‘death’ belongs to the author’s favourite word that appears as a literary concept. The expansion of the content potential of the specified word occurs due to numerous repetitions and its use in different contexts.
 The linguistic representation of the concept is given in the form of building a lexical and semantic field consisting of four frames (‘cessation of existence, the life of the organism, the end’, ‘reflection of a person’s value’, ‘eating habits of meat-eaters’, ‘a process that equalizes people and animals’) and corresponding slots. Contextual analysis and a figurative approach give reasons to claim that the literary text organizes a system of meanings of the lexeme ‘death’ in a different way. Its figurative meanings as of a symbol of transition to another world and eternal spiritual life, as well as of the personification of evil, generated by people, occupy the first (main) position in the hierarchy of dictionary definitions, thereby expanding its metaphorical meaning.

Virtue Ethics and Ubuntu in Leadership towards the Promotion of Ethical Organisational Operations

The objective of the conceptual literature study is to assess virtue ethics as a viable ethical leadership theory in African countries, more explicitly South Africa. We pinpoint some deficits in ethical leadership, which could be addressed through adopting a virtue ethics driven ethical organisational climate in order to positively enhance business practices and service to the community and society in general. This paper supports the notion of virtue ethics as being the suitable one for the purpose of motivating an ethical climate which leads to sustainable business. Leaders need to assume core responsibility for promoting ethics and should reinforce the notion of morally correct behaviour at all times through their demonstrable ethical conduct. This necessitates that leaders’ must exhibit virtue and possess particular qualities and know how to apply these to workplace situations. Virtue ethics as one of numerous ethical theories, certainly has a role to play in the contemporary discourse in which corruption is rife. In addition, it aligns in many ways with the notion of Ubuntu. We argue that ethical leadership behaviour based on virtue and an Ubuntu spirit, is critical in supporting an ethical climate in any organisation and it promotes sustainability. The study employed an interpretivistic expository methodology of textual analysis based on extant literature. Thus, it is to an extent hermeneutic in nature and leads to insights supporting the notion of using Virtue ethics and Ubuntu to inform practice in African organisations and society. Keywords: virtue ethics, Africa, organisations, Ubuntu, sustainability

The Evolution of Money Culture and the Transformation of Narrative Culture in Pre-modern Chinese Fiction

Abstract The money culture of a given time and place can have a profound influence on literature, a medium that allows for the artistic expression of aesthetic taste. This article takes money culture as its analytical lens to explore the cultural transformation of literary concepts that were prevalent in Chinese novels. It will delve into the transition from agricultural production and lifestyles, which were focused on productive and consumptive survival, to industrialized production and lifestyles, which were centered on monetary survival. Additionally, it will trace the evolution from farming literature, which is rooted in Confucian morality, to commercial literature, which is characterized by themes of wealth, lust, and the search for novelty.

Linguo-Conceptual Studies of Literary Text: Evolution of Theoretical and Methodological Approaches

Introduction. The article presents the results of an analytical review of scientific papers reflecting the stages of formation and development of cognitive poetics as an interdisciplinary research area in Russian linguistics. The purpose of the article is to systematize and critically analyze approaches, concepts and methodological principles of the study of concepts that constitute the cognitive basis of literary texts, authors’ idiostyles and, by extension, of poetic sociolects and literary genres.Methodology and sources. The paper reviews theoretical concepts and approaches (developed by R. Tsur, P. Stockwell, I.A. Tarasova, N.S. Bolotnova, L.O. Butakova, etc.), which served as the foundations of cognitive poetics. A comparative analysis of works focusing on the structure of literary concepts, their textual representation aspect and categorization criteria is carried out. The studies which concentrate on the application of corpus methods in order to analyze literary texts, including the works by B. Fischer-Starcke, D. Siepmann, A. Stefanowitsch, M. Mahlberg, etc., also formed the methodological basis for the analytical review.Results and discussion. As a result of the review study, the evolution of theoretical and methodological approaches to literary concepts and literary texts’ ideospheres is demonstrated. The main concepts that influenced the formation of cognitive poetics are identified; the relevant problems of cognitive studies of poetic and prose texts are analyzed. It’s shown that it is necessary to further consider the problem of identifying dominant concepts of authors’ idiostyles describing cognitive mechanisms that underlie the semantic variability of individual concepts. The importance of using corpus methodology in the study of literary discourse in its synchronic and diachronic perspective is discussed.Conclusion. It is shown that, despite the fact that the author's creative consciousness has been studied intensively and for a long time in Russian cognitive poetics, there are still problems that need further consideration. The following aspects must be analyzed: the criteria for choosing the method of modeling a literary concept, taking into consideration its type; the elaboration of uniform terminology in existing approaches; the development of the algorithms for describing the structure of literary concepts and identifying conceptual dominants of authors’ ideospheres. A conclusion was made regarding the potential of applying corpus research methods in the field of cognitive poetics. A range of the tasks related to the cognitive research of literary texts that could be solved by using statistical methods of corpus linguistics was determined.

#4018 CHARACTERISATION OF THE CLINICAL, HUMANISTIC AND ECONOMIC BURDEN OF ANAEMIA IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as structural kidney damage and/or decreased kidney function (glomerular filtration rate <60mL/min/1.73 m2) persisting for ≥3 months [1]. Anaemia is a frequent CKD comorbidity associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, mortality, reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and greater healthcare resource utilisation (HRU) [2]. Our systematic literature review provided an overview of the clinical, humanistic and economic burden of anaemia of CKD. Method A search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, MEDLINE IN-PROCESS, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from database inception to 10 April 2022, using predefined criteria to identify cohort, cross-sectional, observational and cost studies, economic evaluations, conceptual model studies, systematic and literature reviews (complemented by grey literature and congress abstract searches and back-referencing relevant review papers [2016–2021]). Full-text selected citations were examined by two independent reviewers. Clinical burden parameters included CKD progression, differences in progression between patients with/without CKD anaemia, time to blood transfusion and association of CKD stage/progression with CV outcomes or mortality. Humanistic burden included HRQoL and caregiver burden. Economic burden was determined by HRU and direct/indirect costs. Results Data were extracted from 115 studies (12,109 database records, 79 supplementary items; Figure 1), including patients: pre- or non-dialysis (n = 61), on dialysis (n = 21), mixed non-/on dialysis (n = 19) and unknown dialysis status (n = 14). Incidence of advanced CKD was significantly higher in adult non-dialysis dependent (NDD) patients with anaemia of CKD vs those without (incidence per 1000 person-years: 15 to ∼85 vs 3 to ∼25). Patients with CKD anaemia had a higher risk of disease progression than those without anaemia (n = 21), e.g. non-dialysis stage 1–5 adults with CKD anaemia had ∼double the risk of developing end-stage CKD (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval [CI]] = 2.08 [1.50–2.89]). Median time to dialysis initiation was significantly lower in adult NDD stage 1–5 patients with anaemia of CKD vs those without anaemia (45.1 vs 68.3 months p<0.01). A higher proportion of stage 3 adult NDD patients with anaemia of CKD progressed to stage 4 or 5 over follow-up periods of 1, 2 and 3 years vs those without anaemia (40% vs 20%; 60% vs 25%; 75% vs 30%, respectively). Available data from the 43 studies reporting humanistic burden suggested significantly worse HRQoL in patients with vs without CKD anaemia; e.g. non-dialysis adults with CKD anaemia had worse 36-item kidney disease and QoL scores for symptoms/problems, effect- and burden-of CKD. Comparative caregiver burden data in patients with/without CKD anaemia were limited. Limited available evidence from an economic perspective suggested higher HRU in patients with anaemia of CKD vs those without. Patients with anaemia of CKD has ∼2 times greater risk of hospitalisation due to heart failure vs those without (crude incidence rate ratio [95% CI] = 1.9 [1.6–2.1]). Similarly, patients with anaemia of CKD has significantly higher risk of hospitalisations (adjusted relative risk [ARR] [95% CI] = 1.33 [1.31–1.34]) and emergency department visits (ARR [95% CI] = 1.14 [1.12–1.15]) in a multivariate logistic regressions model. No data were available on change in economic parameters over time or on inter-relationships between humanistic/economic burden parameters. There were no published disease models in CKD anaemia; Figure 2 illustrates identified relationships between clinical, humanistic and economic burden parameters. Conclusion Based on limited moderate-to-good quality data, we found that patients with CKD anaemia face greater clinical, humanistic and economic burdens than those without anaemia, with significantly worse HRQoL and greater HRU. CKD anaemia was also associated with a higher risk of CKD progression.

Corporate Political Activity: Taxonomies and Model of Corporate Influence on Public Policy.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people a year. The products and services of unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs) such as tobacco, alcohol, ultra-processed foods and beverages and gambling are responsible for much of this health burden. While effective public health policies are available to address this, UCIs have consistently sought to stop governments and global organisations adopting such policies through what is known as corporate political activity (CPA). We aimed to contribute to the study of CPA and development of effective counter-measures by formulating a model and evidence-informed taxonomies of UCI political activity. We used five complementary methods: critical interpretive synthesis of the conceptual CPA literature; brief interviews; expert co-author knowledge; stakeholder workshops; testing against the literature. We found 11 original conceptualisations of CPA; four had been used by other researchers and reported in 24 additional review papers. Combining an interpretive synthesis of all these papers and feedback from users, we developed two taxonomies - one on framing strategies and one on action strategies. The former identified three frames (policy actors, problem, and solutions) and the latter six strategies (access and influence policy-making, use the law, manufacture support for industry, shape evidence to manufacture doubt, displace, and usurp public health, manage reputations to industry's advantage). We also offer an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of UCI strategies and a model that situates industry CPA in the wider social, political, and economic context. Our work confirms the similarity of CPA across UCIs and demonstrates its extensive and multi-faceted nature, the disproportionate power of corporations in policy spaces and the unacceptable conflicts of interest that characterise their engagement with policy-making. We suggest that industry CPA is recognised as a corruption of democracy, not an element of participatory democracy. Our taxonomies and model provide a starting point for developing effective solutions.

Psychiatric comorbidity: a concept in need of a theory.

Despite being a relatively new concept, psychiatric comorbidity, i.e. the co-occurrence of two or more mental disorders, has become widespread in clinical practice and psychiatric research. In this article, we trace the origin of the concept of psychiatric comorbidity, discuss the conceptual literature and point to basic problems concerning inadequate definition of the concept, differential diagnostic issues, and reification of mental disorders. We illustrate how these problems may have consequences for diagnostic assessment in current clinical practice and psychiatric research. To address some of the problems related to psychiatric comorbidity, we discuss potential principles for assessing psychiatric comorbidity. Inspired by Feinstein's original concept of comorbidity in general medicine and his differential diagnostic principles, we emphasize the importance of independence of mental disorders when assessing psychiatric comorbidity. We suggest that knowledge of trait v. state conditions and of the multitudinous clinical manifestations beyond what is captured in the diagnostic manuals may be helpful for assessing the independence of mental disorders and thus psychiatric comorbidity. We further argue that a more hierarchical diagnostic system and explicit exclusionary rules could improve clinical practice and research by reducing informational complexity and combating unwarranted psychiatric comorbidity.

A Pragmatist Approach to Insurgencies: Experience, Lived Situations and Public Problems

This paper reflects on the concept of insurgency. Through a review of conceptual and empirical literature, it argues that current conceptualisations limit our understanding of insurgencies by focusing on intentional, purposeful and non-evolutive practices, addressing single, external and objectified sources of oppression, considering oppressed groups as static and fixed realities, and understanding insurgencies only through thematic characterisations. Adopting a pragmatist approach, it conceptualises insurgencies as two interconnected experiences: an experience of transformation of lived problematic situations, and an experience of transformation of conventional approaches to treat public problems. The article suggests a new research agenda and critical position for scholars.

The Importance of Borgess Early Poetry in His Literary Career

Jorge Luis Borges, a worldwide renowned literary master, left a profound legacy in the history of global literature with his brilliantly conceived works, extensive knowledge and advanced literary concepts. The worldwide trend of reading and studying Borges is still flourishing today. Among the vast amount of research, there are few studies on Borgess early poetry. In the process of exploring Borgess literary philosophy and personality, the investigation of his early poetry is crucial. This paper is divided into three main modules. The first section analyzes the uniqueness of early poetry through its temporal definition, preservation of emotion, and multiple purely physical elements. The second section explains that early poetry witnessed the emergence of literary concepts and archetypal imagery. The third section explores the dialecticism of passion and loneliness coexisting in early poetry and the function of early poetry in improving the portrait of the authors personality. In general, this paper analyzes the importance of Borgess early poetry in his entire literary career by sorting out two important clues: the important role of early poetry in the writers professional career and in enriching and completing the writers image and character.

Moderating effects of uncertainty on relative brand trust–love

Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide information that reflects the true state of affairs and to develop a conceptual model that examines the moderating effect of uncertainty on relative brand trust–love. Design/methodology/approach Extant empirical studies, conceptual literature and related theories were identified and integrated to develop the conceptual model. Findings Findings of the study suggest that relative brand trust–love arises because of different components of uncertainty. Relative brand trust–love exhibited by the customer is moderated by uncertainty at the individual level, brand level and technology level. These uncertainties represent the situation that considers if relative brand trust–love can be enhanced. A few propositions have been suggested for such situations to enhance relative brand trust–love. Research limitations/implications This paper proposes a conceptual model and also makes research propositions that need to be validated and confirmed empirically. It adds value to theoretical advancements in strengthening the customer–brand relationship. Furthermore, results suggest that relative brand trust–love can be improved over time if these components can be supported by increasing information at different levels. The conclusions will be informative to practitioners and brand managers in strengthening a brand into the market more effectively. Moreover, it can transform the brand into a global brand and help build sustainable long-term relationships. Findings can be useful and interesting information for the researchers who are interested in finding strategic ways for effective decision-making related to brand trust and brand love. Originality/value The conceptual model, and the propositions related to different levels of uncertainty, and its effect on relative brand trust–love, is a new approach in enhancing relative brand trust–love and hence helpful in strengthening the quality of customer–brand relationships.

Instances of fame in postmodern fictional works an analysis based on Philip Roth’s and Marin Preda’s novels

This article will discuss multiple instances of fame in postmodern fictional works. The authors chosen are Philip Roth, the American author well known for works such as “I Married a Communist”, “The Human Stain”, “The Dying Animal” etc. and Marin Preda, the Romanian author who wrote “The Moromete Family”, “The Intruder”, “The Delirium”. The novels representing the postmodern literary current in this article “merican Pastoral (1997)” and “The Most Beloved of Earthlings (1980)”. Through a close analysis of the main characters and the most important events in the novel, the theme of fame will be observed in multiple instances such as the historical point of view, the sociological point of view, the psychological point of view. The first part of the article will introduce the reader to Philip Roth and one of his most famous novels “American Pastoral” in which the theme of fame suffers a metamorphosis because of the events that take place in the novel and therefore affect the main character. In this part the concept of deconstruction will be observed and conceptualized with examples from the novel, the depiction of the utopic world through the American dream, and finally, the transformation of this world into a dystopian one because of the social issues presented in the novel. The social issues presented are related to true historical events which took place in the 1960’s in America. These events are also represented in the micro universe of the main character through the family problems of the main character. The second part of the article will focus on a comparison between the main characters of the novels stated above, Seymour Levov respectively Victor Petrini. This comparison is based on the analysis of their physical and behavioral characteristics and finally, some significant events they are part of. In this section, the concept of dandy will be discussed, and relevant examples will be given to demonstrate that both have traits in this direction. This article aims to prove that the theme of fame in postmodern fictional works is a topic worth studying. It brings new viewpoints upon the American and Romanian postmodern works because of the complexity and multiplicity of concepts that come into its construction. Also, I intend to demonstrate how certain social issues, such as the impact of totalitarian regimes on society, influenced the writers to create works in which the effect of these problems is visible on successful people. The theme of fame in postmodern fictional works in these two novels encompasses myths and literary concepts, creating the impression of the perfect world for the perfect celebrity. Finally, the authors chose to transform everything into chaos and destroy this seducing illusion, converting fame into disgrace.

Is Academic Entrepreneurialism a Universal Concept? New Ideas and Insights From Contextualisation Beyond East and West

This paper considers the conceptualisation of ‘academic entrepreneurialism’ and develops new ideas and insights by contextualising the concept. It critically reviews the conceptual literature of academic entrepreneurialism which is dominated by research and conceptualisation by the West and reflects its implications for understanding academic entrepreneurialism in China. After that, it answers the key question: Is academic entrepreneurialism a universal concept? By academic entrepreneurialism, it refers to the phenomenon that universities are willing to supply knowledge for capitalising new opportunities, managing risks and maximising revenues, reputation, or human capital in response to the demands for education, research and knowledge solutions by the knowledge society and economy, as well as developing new markets for their knowledge-based services and goods. This paper draws on global perspective and the case of Chinese higher education, and engages in conceptual discussions about the applied universality of academic entrepreneurialism and its limitations of making sense of cultural uniqueness in various contexts. We argue that academic entrepreneurialism is not a universal and all-encompassing template but the beginning of constitutive, continuous and complex transformation of institutional reasoning of different universities across the world. Not taking the culturalist presuppositions, new ideas from this paper may be helpful for reconsidering, redesigning and reorganising research, education and engagement of universities beyond East and West so as to foster their self-understanding in the entrepreneurial age and future-oriented development.

Sustainable innovation policy: Examining the discourse of UK innovation policy

Innovation can be a key mechanism to address some of society's greatest challenges, or it can contribute to them. There is extensive conceptual academic literature focused on how policy can be used to create more positive societal and environmental impacts through innovation, however, little empirical evidence exists to understand to what extent innovation policy in particular embeds the principles of social and environmental sustainability into its discourse. We begin to address this lack of evidence by using a critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics approach to explore how UK Innovation Policy embeds the concepts of societal and environmental impact, and how it balances these at times conflicting paradigms into policy documents. We find that although there is some inclusion of key environmental and societal words these are predominately secondary to economic themes, signalling a ‘business as usual’ approach to innovation policy.

“The inventory of possible realities” – Structures seen from above: Contemporary Hungarian literature and the epimodern theory of Emmanuel Bouju

AbstractAfter the fall of Communism a new generation started its career in Hungarian literature. They invented a new literary concept based on the experience that modernity had liquidated the language and postmodernity dispersed meaning. The most important feature of this concept was that realistic and postmodern expectations should not be confronted as opposites. This perspective appears in many books and many articles by Emmanuel Bouju, offering a possibility to link the three consecutive steps of a continuity through six epimodern values that can be perceived as a bridge overarching the different periods of art and literature.Several authors and works of contemporary Hungarian literature show strong parallels with the international literary process. Tranquility by Attila Bartis, The White King by György Dragomán and Pixel by Krisztina Tóth can be linked to Bouju's theory. In my approach the aforementioned novels use different branches of art as a sort of prism in order to understand the “preposterous aspects of the present and the past” (Boym).As Emmanuel Bouju's essay enables us to define the trinity of Modernism, Post-modernism and contemporary After-Postmodernism as a whole in which ruptures may be considered as three steps of the same continuity, the Hungarian books examined here are works that have re-claimed the validity of the coherence of the story whilst, as a heritage of the postmodern, they have also preserved skepticism regarding master narratives.

Considerations of Access and Inclusion in Adolescent Eating Disorder Care: A Custom Rapid Report


 This custom rapid report provides insight into some challenges of equitable access to and inclusion in specialized eating disorder care for racialized, LGBTQ2S+, and male adolescents living with distress related to body image, eating, and food. To do this work, the author of this custom report engaged with empirical and conceptual literature around adolescent eating disorders and investigates how access and inclusion have been conceptualized in that literature.
 Equitable access to specialized and inclusive eating disorder care for racialized, LGBTQ2S+, and male adolescents can be hampered by reductive understandings of these adolescents’ needs and experiences of distress around eating and body image. Similarly, diagnostic categories, diagnostic assessment tools, and treatments designed with and for the archetype of the young, white, cisgender woman living with an eating disorder, reduce the understanding of adolescents not fitting this archetype. Cultural competency training and practising cultural humility were both described as supportive elements in working toward providing equitable access to inclusive eating disorder care.
 A series of sensitizing questions are provided at the end of this report and are meant to support the CADTH team in remaining attentive to considerations of equity of access and inclusivity as they assess early intervention programs for adolescents living with eating disorders in an upcoming health technology assessment.

Integrating sustainable development goals into environment impact assessment in India: A conceptual analysis

AbstractThe paper presents a systematic exploration of the linkages between environment impact assessment (EIA) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the Indian context through a critical analysis of the socio‐ecological impacts of development projects and the policy climate for environmental clearances. A conceptual framework portraying the interlinkages of the systemic disruptions in the socio‐ecological realms, policy challenges, and SDGs is developed, which argues for integrating the SDGs into the EIA framework in India. The paper argues that the legal fluidity and dilution in the design and enactment of EIA retrogrades the crucial socio‐political transformation required for achieving sustainability. The systematic literature review of empirical, conceptual, and grey literature, undertaken on Indian EIA, highlights its instrumental role as a political tool for achieving developmental sustainability. The paper concludes by highlighting the urgent need to mainstream ecological decision‐making into all governance processes for achieving the SDGs in a transforming society like India.

GREEN SERVICE QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FOR MALAYSIA AIRLINE COMPANIES

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of airlines customer’s evaluation of green service quality toward customer’s satisfaction provided by Malaysia Airline Companies.
 
 Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper reviews the conceptual and empirical literature to develop a model of the various aspects of the service quality – customer satisfaction relationship encompassed by the concept of ‘airline customer satisfaction’ and to assess the advantages and disadvantages of alternative methods of measurement. Six conceptual dimensions are identified: (1) Airline tangibles (2) Terminal tangibles (3) Personnel (4) Empathy (5) Image (6) Green Airport (7) Customer Satisfaction
 Findings: Integration of these dimensions into a conceptual framework that describes the relationships among the components and how they collectively result in green service quality and customer satisfaction. We also elucidate future research directions for management scholars
 
 Research Limitation/Implication: The research examines the relationship between green service quality dimension and customer satisfaction in airline industry. This study focuses on the evaluation of all airline service user regarding airline service quality. The main limitation of this study is that it focusses to customer satisfaction on all Airlines Companies: thus, the result cannot be generalized.
 
 Practical Implications: The framework proposed can be applied to future research on green service quality and customer satisfaction. This study will lead to passenger’s satisfaction and encourage the development of long-term relationships with their customers.
