From academia to enterprise: how work value and organisational factors influence academic entrepreneurship

Scholars in the social sciences have paid attention to the work value, but little is known about its significance from an entrepreneurship point of view. The purpose of this study is to look into how an organisational factor influences the relationship between academician work value and academic entrepreneurship engagement. This is a first attempt to investigate academician work values from higher learning institutions in developing nations, adding to the body of knowledge regarding the elements that impact academic entrepreneurship engagement. The selected higher learning institutions provided 381 of their academicians for the study, which employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. Structured questionnaires were used to gather data, and structural equation modelling was used to assess the results. The results show that, when organisational factors act as the moderator, work value in terms of terminal values increases its impact on academic entrepreneurship; on the contrary, organisational factors have no moderation effect with the instrumental value when influencing academic entrepreneurship. The study provided implications for higher learning institutions, academicians, and the government.

Sex and Age Differences in the Pharmacokinetics of Drugs for Children with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review

Title Sex Differences in the Pharmacokinetics of Drugs for Children with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review Effective optimal pharmacotherapy requires a comprehensive understanding of the drug’s pharmacokinetic properties. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) influences medication pharmacokinetics. However, whether sex differences exist in the pharmacokinetics of drugs for children with CKD is unknown. The primary aim of this article was to evaluate the effect of sex on pharmacokinetics of drugs commonly used for CKD treatment in children. Secondary outcome was to address the impact of sex in CKD disease progression. Electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Web of Science were searched from inception, using Mesh terms in English for sex differences in the pharmacokinetics of drugs in children with CKD. No studies have documented sex-related differences in the pharmacokinetics of drugs for the treatment of CKD in children. As a consequence, it is difficult to predict the effect of sex on pharmacokinetics by extrapolating data from adult studies to children. Evidence to date suggests that girls generally have a higher prevalence and disease progression of CKD when compared to boys regardless of age. Understanding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs provides practical consideration for dosing optimal medication regimens. Future kinetic studies are needed evaluating the effect of sex on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in children with CKD.

Motives of Sharing Fake News and Effects on Mental Health of Social Media Users: A Meta-analysis

After the outbreak of COVID-19, the world faced various economic, health, and social challenges alongside terror from fake news and posts on social media. There has been a significant impact from the spread and sharing of fake news on the mental health of social media users. Henceforth, this study examined this issue within the context of uses and gratification theory. In doing so, the study performed a meta-analysis using cross-sectional studies regarding social media usage and the association between use and gratification among social media users. Fifteen articles from 2010 to 2020 were retrieved and finalised through strict selection criteria from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science. A random effect model was deployed to estimate the uses and gratification achieved from social media usage and the motivation behind sharing specific posts. The selected articles suggested a positive and significant role of the uses and gratification perspective in motivating users to select specific social media platforms to create and share posts. It was also identified that gratification can result from the performance of both positive and negative actions on social media by social media users. This study offers new insights into social media usage from the uses and gratification perspective during health crises, shedding light on its impact on fake news dissemination and suggesting practical algorithmic control measures. Keywords: Uses and gratifications, meta-analysis, fake news, mental health, social media.

Impact of water scarcity on rural livelihood in the drought-prone region: A review of global perspectives

Water scarcity is a challenging task for the vast majority of people in the world, which has occurred due to changes in weather patterns due to less rainfall than usual. According to perceptions, in some parts of the world, water scarcity will be more frequent and intense now. Over 200 published articles and reports from the period 2003–2023 were considered for the measurement of the global impact of water shortages on livelihoods in arid areas. Such a type of review study is designed for a systematic approach. The manuscript illustrated different dimensions of water scarcity impacts by using electronic search engines, including Google, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, and Web of Science. The study was then distinguished by including the word water scarcity with keywords such as landscape, vulnerability, adjustment, displaced person, health effect, and risk management to inquire about the necessary articles. The study results illustrated that the shortage of water during the drought period increased the misery of affected people. Droughts affect the livelihood of these people in agronomic activities, food production and security, and natural assets, causing prolonged suffering.

Mapping the institutionalization of racism in the research about race and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation: implications for Black populations

Purpose Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a chronic disease process and a public health concern that disproportionately impacts Black populations. While there is an abundance of literature on race and TBI outcomes, there is a lack of scholarship that addresses racism within rehabilitation care, and it remains untheorized. This article aims to illuminate how racism becomes institutionalized in the scientific scholarship that can potentially inform rehabilitation care for persons with TBI and what the implications are, particularly for Black populations. Material and methods Applying Bacchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to be approach, the writings of critical race theory (CRT) are used to examine the research about race and TBI rehabilitation comparable to CRT in other disciplines, including education and legal scholarship. Results A CRT examination illustrates that racism is institutionalized in the research about race and TBI rehabilitation through colourblind ideologies, meritocracy, reinforcement of a deficit perspective, and intersections of race and the property functions of whiteness. A conceptual framework for understanding institutional racism in TBI rehabilitation scholarship is presented. Conclusions The findings from this article speak to the future of TBI rehabilitation research for Black populations, the potential for an anti-racist agenda, and implications for research and practice.

Effects of Breeding Systems on Hen Egg Weight: A Meta-Analysis

In the egg production industry, egg weight is a critical parameter influencing economic viability. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of cage, free-range, and deep litter breeding systems on hen egg weight using meta-analysis. Articles were searched using Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science yielding 175 articles of which 22 articles were included in the present study. Methodological quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. A model was used to determine the effect of breeding systems on average hen egg weight. Meta-regression analysis was used to examine the effect of the following moderators, publication year, region, chicken age, and breed. The Cochran’s Q test and I2 statistic were performed for h heterogeneity across used studies. According to the obtained results, there was no significant difference between cage and free-range on average hen egg weight (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.08, I2 = 89%, 95%CI 0.19-0.34). The free-range breeding system had heavier hen egg weight than deep litter (SMD = 0.54, I2 = 88%, 95%CI 0.01-0.08). The findings also revealed that deep litter and free range had no significant difference in average hen egg weight (SMD = -0.05, I2 = 87%, 95%CI -0.28-0.17). Meta-regression findings showed that the origin of the used articles, the age of the chickens, and the chicken breed were observed as the main reasons for heterogeneity. This meta-analysis revealed that a free-range breeding system increased the average hen egg weight.

Magnitude and determinants of undernutrition among tuberculosis patients in Ethiopia: systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundUndernutrition increases the risk of TB infection to be active TB, death and relapse of the disease. Undernutrition also disturbs the management process of tuberculosis. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled magnitude and determinants of undernutrition among TB patients in Ethiopia.MethodsFrom August 20, 2022 to January 6, 2023, the research articles were identified via the search engines Google Scholar, Medline, Pub Med, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Stata version 14 was used for analysis, along with a standardized data extraction checklist. The Cochrane Q test statistic and I2 statistics were used to determine heterogeneity. A random-effect model was used to assess the extent of undernutrition among TB patients. OR with a 95% CI was used to report the relationship between undernutrition and independent factors. A funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to examine publication bias.ResultsA total of 720 research articles were identified via several databases and 21 studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled magnitude of undernutrition among TB patients was 48.23% (95% CI 42.84, 53.62). The current meta-analysis revealed that patients who had no formal education (OR = 2.11(95%CI: 1.09, 4.06), average monthly income < 1800 ETB (OR = 2.32 (95CI: 1.33, 4.04), unable to work (OR = 2.61(95CI:1.99, 3.43), patients who had eating disorder (OR = 2.73 (95CI: 2.09, 3.56), patients who had intestinal parasite (OR = 3.77 (95CI: 2.39, 5.94), patients of > 5 family size (OR = 3.79 (95CI: 1.06, 14.93), and patients who drank alcohol (OR = 1.47(95CI: 1.06, 2.05) were significantly associated with undernutrition.ConclusionThis meta-analysis examined the high magnitude of undernutrition among TB patients in Ethiopia. Strategic and police-oriented intervention to prevent factors contributing to the problem is mandatory.

Organizational Commitment of the Millennial Generation Workforce in Indonesian Higher Education: Systematic Literature Review

This paper aims to offer a thorough review of research on the factors influencing organizational commitment among the millennial workforce in Indonesian higher education. The review specifically addresses the key questions of identifying the main factors affecting organizational commitment in the millennial workforce in Indonesian higher education and examining how knowledge sharing relates to organizational commitment among these millennial employees. The criteria for selecting the 50 research articles included a requirement that they be peer-reviewed and published in either English or Indonesian. Exclusion criteria were applied to filter out non-peer-reviewed sources and articles not focused on the specified demographic. The articles were sourced from electronic scientific databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, using search terms such as "organizational commitment," "millennial workforce," "Indonesian higher education," and "knowledge sharing." The review process involved a systematic analysis of the articles to assess their relevance and quality. Criteria for assessment included the robustness of the research methodology, the significance of the findings, and their contribution to understanding organizational commitment and knowledge sharing. Empirical evidence from the review highlights specific aspects of organizational commitment linked to knowledge sharing, such as the influence of leadership styles, workplace culture, and individual motivation. The paper presents a conceptual framework connecting organizational commitment and knowledge sharing, providing a basis for further research in this field. The findings underscore the need for more research on the impact of organizational commitment on knowledge sharing, particularly within the higher education sector. Enhancing organizational commitment is crucial for fostering knowledge sharing behavior and workplace spirituality, which can lead to improved effectiveness and performance in universities.

Taxonomy, Bio-Ecology and Insecticide Resistance of Anopheline Vectors of Malaria in Sri Lanka.

The objective of this review was to update the current knowledge on major malaria vectors in Sri Lanka and their bio-ecology and insecticide resistance status. Relevant data were collected through a comprehensive literature search performed using databases such as PubMed, NIH, Google Scholar and Web of Science. Sri Lanka had been endemic to malaria for centuries. However, due to a coordinated public health effort last indigenous malaria case was reported in 2012 and the island nation was declared free of malaria in 2016. Although 25 anopheline mosquitoes have been reported so far on the island, only Anopheles culicifacies and An. subpictus have been established as primary and secondary vectors of malaria respectively. Both vector species exist as a species complex, and the sibling species of each complex differ in their bio-ecology and susceptibility to malaria parasites and insecticides. The article provides a comprehensive and updated account of the bio-ecology and insecticide resistance of malaria vectors and highlights the challenges ahead of retaining a malaria-free status.

Pharmaceutical Potential of Remedial Plants and Helminths for Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Research is increasingly revealing that inflammation significantly contributes to various diseases, particularly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a major medical challenge due to its chronic nature, affecting at least one in a thousand individuals in many Western countries, with rising incidence in developing nations. Historically, indigenous people have used natural products to treat ailments, including IBD. Ethnobotanically guided studies have shown that plant-derived extracts and compounds effectively modulate immune responses and reduce inflammation. Similarly, helminths and their products offer unique mechanisms to modulate host immunity and alleviate inflammatory responses. This review explored the pharmaceutical potential of Aboriginal remedial plants and helminths for treating IBD, emphasizing recent advances in discovering anti-inflammatory small-molecule drug leads. The literature from Scopus, MEDLINE Ovid, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science was retrieved using keywords such as natural product, small molecule, cytokines, remedial plants, and helminths. This review identified 55 important Aboriginal medicinal plants and 9 helminth species that have been studied for their anti-inflammatory properties using animal models and in vitro cell assays. For example, curcumin, berberine, and triptolide, which have been isolated from plants; and the excretory-secretory products and their protein, which have been collected from helminths, have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity with lower toxicity and fewer side effects. High-throughput screening, molecular docking, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have been engaged in compound identification, while clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) gene editing and RNA sequencing have been employed to understand molecular interactions and regulations. While there is potential for pharmaceutical application of Aboriginal medicinal plants and gastrointestinal parasites in treating IBD, there is an urgent need to qualify these plant and helminth therapies through reproducible clinical and mechanistic studies.

Enhancing tonal‐language learning through music: A review of experimental methods and melodic intonation therapy influences

AbstractThis literature review explores the impact of music on tonal language learning, with a focus on Mandarin Chinese. Utilising searches across major databases such as ERIC (EBSCO), ProQuest Central, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from 2005 to 2024, we selected relevant peer‐reviewed English‐language articles examining music's role in aiding tone acquisition and related cognitive processes. From 30 publications, findings are categorised into theoretical relationships, cognitive effects, melodic intonation therapy (MIT) applications and digital music applications. Theoretical frameworks emphasise the correlation between musicality and language proficiency, highlighting musicians' enhanced tonal perception and production skills. Cognitive effects include music's influence on pronunciation, memory and cultural understanding. MIT's effectiveness in tonal language learning is then discussed, emphasising its potential to improve cortical representations of tone categories. Finally, digital music applications are examined, focusing on language learning apps incorporating music for personalised and engaging learning experiences. The review finds significant literature reporting that music‐based methodologies, aligned with experiential learning paradigms, hold significant potential in Mandarin Chinese acquisition. They enhance listening comprehension, spoken language production, and understanding of grammar and syntax. Similar to MIT principles, music‐assisted tonal language learning utilises exaggerated melody and rhythm to improve language production, especially with complex words. This review is motivated by the recognition of music's potential benefits in language education, especially for tonal languages. It aims to provide educators and researchers with insights into effective methods and applications, guiding instructional practices and stimulating further empirical investigations in this interdisciplinary field. Ultimately, it contributes to the ongoing discourse on optimising tonal language learning methodologies.

Missed opportunities for AI governance: lessons from ELS programs in genomics, nanotechnology, and RRI

AbstractSince the beginning of the current hype around Artificial Intelligence (AI), governments, research institutions, and the industry invited ethical, legal, and social sciences (ELS) scholars to research AI’s societal challenges from various disciplinary viewpoints and perspectives. This approach builds upon the tradition of supporting research on the societal aspects of emerging sciences and technologies, which started with the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Program in the Human Genome Project (HGP) in the early 1990s. However, although a diverse ELS research community has formed since then, AI’s societal challenges came to be mostly understood under the narrow framing of ethics and disconnected from the insights and experiences of past ELS research. In this article, we make up for this gap and connect insights from past ELS researchers with current approaches to research the societal challenges of AI. We analyse and summarize the history of “ELS programs” (programs that emerged since the HGP to support ELS research in a given domain) as three distinct eras: a genomics era, a nano era, and an RRI era. Each of these eras comprises several achievements and challenges relevant to ELS programs in AI research, such as the setup of independent funding bodies, the engagement of the wider public in research practice, and the increasing importance of private actors. Based on these insights, we argue that AI research currently falls back on self-regulatory, less participatory, and industry-led approaches that trouble ELS programs’ past achievements and hinder opportunities to overcome the still-existing challenges.

Beyond Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science: An evaluation of the backward and forward citation coverage of 59 databases' citation indices.

Citation indices providing information on backward citation (BWC) and forward citation (FWC) links are essential for literature discovery, bibliographic analysis, and knowledge synthesis, especially when language barriers impede document identification. However, the suitability of citation indices varies. While some have been analyzed, the majority, whether new or established, lack comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, this study evaluates the citation coverage of the citation indices of 59 databases, encompassing the widely used Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science alongside many others never previously analyzed, such as the emerging Lens, Scite, Dimensions, and OpenAlex or the subject-specific PubMed and JSTOR. Through a comprehensive analysis using 259 journal articles from across disciplines, this research aims to guide scholars in selecting indices with broader document coverage and more accurate and comprehensive backward and forward citation links. Key findings highlight Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Semantic Scholar, and Lens as leading options for FWC searching, with Lens providing superior download capabilities. For BWC searching, the Web of Science Core Collection can be recommended over Scopus for accuracy. BWC information from publisher databases such as IEEE Xplore or ScienceDirect was generally found to be the most accurate, yet only available for a limited number of articles. The findings will help scholars conducting systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and bibliometric analyses to select the most suitable databases for citation searching.

Circulating knowledge through disparate practices: the global pursuit of terrorist financing by Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs)

ABSTRACT Standardization and harmonization are widely studied by scholars of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to understand how knowledge and things circulate across geographies, yet it often remains unclear what these terms exactly refer to. In dictionaries, they are generally defined as actions or processes aimed at achieving uniformity, similarity, or alignment. In STS literature, it is often assumed that when a practice is (un)successfully standardized or harmonized, the circulation of knowledge and things across distance and difference is made (im)possible. However, it is questionable whether the geographical circulation of things and knowledge is necessarily enabled by the uniformity of practices. When analyzing the global exchange of financial intelligence, a different picture emerges, whereby the coordination of security operations and the exchange of financial intelligence are actually enabled by disparate quantification practices. Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) – governmental organizations that globally exchange financial intelligence for combatting money laundering and terrorist financing – are geographically scattered and very different in nature, each constructing security threats such as terrorism or terrorist financing uniquely. Yet through their complex quantification practices, they make coordination possible while persisting in maintaining differences, without relying on an increasingly uniform and universal sameness of practices. For FIUs, quantification practices, even though differently practiced, generate a shared domain with its own transnational, depoliticized, and highly technical proxy grammar that makes it possible to work beyond and background otherwise incommensurable issues.

Cultural keystone species as a tool for biocultural stewardship. A global review

Abstract The cultural keystone species (CKS) concept (i.e. ‘species that shape in a major way the cultural identity of a people’ as defined by Garibaldi and Turner in 2004) has been proposed as part of a common framing for the multiple entangled relationships between species and the socioecological systems in which they exist. However, the blurred and prolific definitions of CKS hamper its univocal application. This work examines the current use of the term CKS to reconcile a definition and explore its practical applications for biocultural stewardship. We ran a search for the words ‘cultural’ AND ‘keystone’ AND ‘species’. Our search was limited to peer‐reviewed articles published in English between 1994 and 2022 (inclusive) and was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. We extracted and analysed bibliometric information as well as information on (i) the CKS components, (ii) humans' support for CKS and (iii) the definitions of CKS. From the 313 selected documents, the CKS concept appears to be increasingly accepted, as evidenced by a growing corpus of literature. However, the absence of a systematic and precise way of documenting CKS precludes global cross‐cultural comparisons. The geographical distribution of authors using the concept is biased. We found that 47% of all the CKS reported and 38% of the works identified in our review were located in North America. Beyond ‘supporting identity’, several other of nature's contributions to people are associated with the CKS definitions. However, the contributions of the sociocultural group to the survival and conservation of the CKS (i.e. stewardship) are made explicit only in one‐third of the documents reviewed. To advance biocultural stewardship as a conservation paradigm, we suggest (a) defining CKS as an indissoluble combination of a non‐human species and one or more sociocultural groups; (b) acknowledging that species and sociocultural group relations should be classified in a continuum, according to gradients of relationship intensity; and (c) explicitly acknowledging the reciprocal relationships between sociocultural groups and species.

Engaging science across cultures: building a research community of Buddhist monastics and undergraduate and faculty mentors

Emory University has had a long relationship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama through the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative. Recently the Tenzin Gyatso Science Scholars, who are Tibetan Buddhist monastics that reside and take courses on Emory’s campus, were enrolled in a novel science research course designed and taught by undergraduate students at Emory. The goal of this study was to build a research community of Buddhist monastics who worked alongside undergraduate and graduate mentors to complete projects in R1 research laboratories, and the course was designed as preparation for these efforts. The course covered aspects of the scientific method and focused on enhancing engagement and motivation of the Scholars to pursue science research. Knowledge acquisition was assessed through quizzes, affect changes were assessed through focus group interviews, and overall course success was measured through Principal Investigator surveys. Conceptual knowledge and overall average improvement increased significantly week-to-week. Changes in affect for self-efficacy, belonging, knowledge, and future applications/drive trended towards improvement in each respective category. Finally, all seven Monastic Scholars who participated in the research curriculum were enrolled in R1 research experiences after conclusion of the course, and their principal investigators positively evaluated the preparedness and motivation of the monastics. The curriculum detailed here and its implementation facilitated cross-cultural education and successfully transitioned students from the classroom into research laboratories.

The effects of aerobic and resistant exercises on the lipid profile in healthy women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Exercise can have a wide range of health benefits, including improving blood lipid profiles. For women to achieve optimal cardiovascular health, it is vital to determine the effect of exercise on their health and whether different exercise intensities can affect their blood lipid profile. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to examine the effects of exercise on improving the lipid profile of healthy women. A database search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception until July 2, 2021, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating exercise's effects on healthy women's blood lipid profiles. A total of 10 eligible articles (or 17 trials) with 576 participants were identified as eligible for the study. Overall, the meta-analysis shows that physical activity significantly improved total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) levels: TC [WMD = -5.77mg/dL, 95% CI: -10.41, -1.13, P < 0.01]; TG [WMD = -5.60mg/dL, 95% CI: -8.96, -2.23, P < 0.01]; HDL [WMD = 4.49mg/dL, 95% CI: 0.33, 8.65, P = 0.03]. Additionally, sub-group analyses indicated that combined exercise training improved TG and TC (p 0.05), and aerobic exercise significantly increased HDL. In this study, physical activity appears to be one of the most effective non-pharmacological means for improving HDL, TG, and TC in healthy women. In terms of TG and TC, CT was the most effective.

Beyond Local Domains: Connective Ontology in (Post-)Cognitive Sociology

Ontology in cognitive science has long been dominated by cognitivism, developing computer science metaphors to position cognition as intrinsic mind-brain information-processing. Contemporary cognitivism hypothesises localised domain-specificity, disaggregating cognition into discrete subtypes, each of which exists in a dedicated brain region. Latterly, peripheral cognitive science scholarships have contested these ideas, cultivating post-cognitivist dispositions with radical ontologies, relocating cognition in active socio-material ecologies. Nonetheless, much cognitive sociology retains cognitivist ontology, treating sociological phenomena as extrinsic constraints that influence the mind-brain’s foundational cognition. I argue that cognitive sociology could fruitfully engage with post-cognitivist science. As an example, I use connective ontology, from the sociology of personal life, to conceptualise cognition as dynamically emergent and vitally animated ecological connective energies. Doing so, I show that post-cognitivism offers routes towards genuine social ontologies of cognition as a sociological matter, moving beyond cognitivism.
