Coaches Describing the Influence of Viktor Frankl on Their Life and Work: A Social Phenomenological Thematic Analysis Highlighting Personal-Existential Motivations

Ahead of Routledge's publication of an adaptation into English of Alfried Längle's posthumous portrait of Viktor E. Frankl, this study interrogates the role of Frankl in coaching today. A literature review shows Frankl referenced in existential coaching frameworks and embedded in...

From social contagion to community cascade: A generative model of recovery

This article advances a generative model of recovery that reconceptualizes recovery as a community development process rather than a solely individual, personal or therapeutic outcome. Drawing on qualitative data from volunteers at The Phoenix, a peer-led sober active community i...

Reimagining Book History Creatively for Twenty‐First‐Century Publishing Students

ABSTRACT Teaching book history to twenty‐first‐century publishing students often proves a delightful challenge as some grapple with appreciating how this history is relevant to not only their pursuit of a career in the publishing industry but also the publishing industry generall...

REDISCOVERING THE DEAD: REANALYSIS OF A LOST IRON AGE CEMETERY AT HIGHSTED, KENT

Summary Highsted, near Sittingbourne in Kent, was the location of a large cemetery, thought to date to the Late Iron Age. The site was excavated under rescue conditions in 1955, but due to the apparent theft of the archive and finds, was never published. As part of a wider projec...

Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

‘I can’t see what that path looks like’: making sense of help-seeking among women with breast cancer in rural and urban Scotland – an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

Scottish women living with breast cancer may face geographical and structural inequalities in accessing care and support, yet little is known about how differences in geography shape help-seeking. The aim of the present study was to explore these experiences among women living wi...

Guidelines for Meta‐Analytic Structural Equation Modeling: Steps, Resources, and Illustrations

ABSTRACT The goal of science is to build incremental, structured, and reliable knowledge over time. Yet, many strands of marketing and related disciplines exhibit symptoms of cumulative stagnation, including lack of replicability and weak theoretical integration. Existing remedie...

The chromosomal genome sequence of the boulder star coral, Orbicella franksi (Gregory, 1895) (Scleractinia: Merulinidae)

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Orbicella franksi (boulder star coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Merulinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 496.97 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.24%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The...

Integrating Industry 6.0 with DMAIC: from systematic review to conceptual framework development – lessons from Ibero-America and Asia

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to review different facets of Industry 6.0 (I6.0). The study also presents a systematic DMAIC-assisted I6.0 framework for enhanced operational excellence (OPEX) and sustainability from the perspectives of Ibero-America and Asia. Design/me...

Investigation into the nature and experience of Widow’s Fire

This exploratory study investigated Widow’s Fire (WF): the intense desire for sex post-bereavement. Few studies consider younger people and/or men, or WF specifically. One hundred twenty‑three widowed individuals completed an online survey (26 men, 97 women). The mean age at the...

Glucosamine functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes as potential antibacterial molecules

Antibiotic resistance represents a critical global health challenge driven by the widespread misuse of antimicrobials and the rapid evolution of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Conventional antibiotics are increasingly limited by poor stability, low bioavailability, toxicity, and...

Designing semi-structured interview guides for interpretative phenomenological analysis and reflexive thematic analysis: a practical guide

Semi-structured interviews are the most common data generation strategy for many qualitative research approaches. While there is copious advice about the “what” of interview questions (types, phrasing, good practice) and conceptual and theoretical aspects, there is little guidanc...

The Mother Nature Programme: a single-arm mixed-methods feasibility study of a group nature-based intervention for mothers experiencing postnatal mental health difficulties and their infants

Abstract Background Postnatal mental health difficulties are common and often under-treated. Nature-based interventions have potential mental health benefits, but little research has focussed on their applicability postnatally. This study examined the acceptability and feasibilit...

Running wild: Forest running enhances performance, enjoyment, mood and future exercise intentions

ABSTRACT Background and objectives Physical inactivity remains widespread despite the well-established physical and mental health benefits of regular physical activity (PA). There is an urgent need for strategies that increase both uptake and long-term adherence. The Environmenta...

Patient perspectives from the BEYOND Delphi panel: burden of remaining symptoms and their fluctuations, despite treatment, in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis

Abstract Background Patients with generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) can experience remaining symptoms despite treatment. Our study aimed to describe how remaining symptoms and their fluctuations may affect a person’s daily life while living with gMG. Methods A modified-Delphi p...

Globalization and Market Power

ABSTRACT We use a large episode of trade liberalization in Spain to test a rich set of channels linking trade and markups. The effect of reductions in import tariffs on firm‐level and aggregate markups is pro‐competitive, but there are offsetting effects via other channels. We sh...

The joint effects of digital transformation technologies and human lean practices on firm performance: an empirical investigation

Purpose This study examines how human lean practices (HLP), Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, technical lean practices (TLP), operational performance (OP) and sustainable performance (SP) interact within the manufacturing sector of emerging economies under the constraints of a le...

Management of high-risk (B3) breast lesions in symptomatic practice: evidence review and practical recommendations for multidisciplinary care

Borderline breast lesions (B3 lesions, also termed lesions of uncertain malignant potential or high-risk lesions) represent a heterogeneous group of entities associated with variable risks of malignancy. While the management of screen-detected B3 lesions has become increasingly s...

Processing and property relationships in material extrusion additive manufacturing of PLA using a hybrid predictive model for tensile strength optimization

Material-extrusion additive manufacturing produces polymer components with region-dependent mechanical behaviour arising from raster orientation, shell geometry, and layer-wise deposition. This study develops a region-based hybrid model for predicting the tensile strength of PLA...

Data-driven decision support for inventory planning: A Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) perspective

This study proposes a data-driven decision support framework for Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) inventory planning from a Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) perspective. The first stage of the proposed framework involves demand forecasting, which is implemented us...
