Resistivity enhancement in c-axis-grown nanograin Mn–Zn ferrite thin films generated through radio frequency sputtering technique
(Springer Nature, 2026) Joseph, Jaison; Mordekar, Rajashri Karmali; Mahadevan Pillai, V. P.
Ultra-thin ferrite materials synthesis, with physical properties tailored to specific applications is expected to drive innovations in manufacturing techniques and production processes for electronic components and devices. The specific physical properties inherent in ferrite thin films heavily rely on the choice of the target material for film fabrication, selection of fabrication techniques, and the precise deposition parameters employed. Consequently, we resolute to utilize nano-particle ferrite powder as the target in radiofrequency sputtering technique, for producing MnxZn1−xFe2O4 thin films having nanograins and specific grain orientation along c-axis, on a quartz substrate. Remarkably, we observed a substantial increase in resistivity, by a factor of 2 to 3, in thin-film ferrite material compared to the base materials used for its fabrication. This enhanced resistivity is likely an outcome of grain boundary effects that stem from peculiar film growth along c-axis at minimal film thickness, ranging from 590 to 830 Å, wherein the planar transport of charge carriers becomes predominantly prominent.
One Nation One Subscription: A Paradigm Shift in India’s Access to Scholarly Resources
(Skylark International Publication, 2025) Faras, Ajit; Gaude, Shushma; Dhuri, Keshav R.
The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, launched by the Government of India in 2025, marks a watershed moment in democratizing access to scholarly information. By centralizing and negotiating national licenses with leading publishers, ONOS aims to provide nearly 1.8 crore students, researchers, and faculty across government-funded academic and research institutions with seamless access to over 13,000 journals. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of ONOS, exploring its historical context, objectives, implementation strategies, anticipated impact, challenges, and global comparisons. The study underscores the transformative potential of ONOS for the Indian research ecosystem and offers recommendations for maximizing its effectiveness and sustainability.

Evaluating the Resident Support for CulturalTourism Through a Revised Social ExchangeTheory Approach
(Walter de Gruyter, 2025) Gaonkar, Sadanand; Sukthankar, Sitaram V.
The Social Exchange Theory (SET) has been pivotal in understanding residents’ support for tourism development. However, there is a need to understand the various factors determining residents’ support for cultural tourism. This study mainly proposes a revised SET framework that includes residents' community attachment, community involvement, perceived cultural impact, attitude towards cultural tourism, and attitude towards cultural tourists, as well as their influence on resident support for cultural tourism. The study also investigates, firstly, the simple mediating effect of residents’ perceived cultural impact between community attachment and residents’ support for cultural tourism and between community involvement and resident support for cultural tourism; secondly, the parallel mediating effect of residents’ attitudes toward cultural tourism and tourists between residents’ perceived cultural impact and residents’ support for cultural tourism; and thirdly, the serial mediating effect of residents’ perceived cultural impact and attitude towards cultural tourism; residents’ perceived cultural impact and attitude towards cultural tourists, between community attachment and residents’ support for cultural tourism, and between community involvement and residents’ support for cultural tourism. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire from a total of 500 respondents; 467 of those responses were deemed legitimate. The analysis is carried out using PLS-SEM in Smart PLS 4. The study results showed that residents' community attachment, community involvement, attitudes towards cultural tourism, and tourists are the significant positive factors influencing residents' support for cultural tourism. In contrast, residents perceived cultural impact does not significantly contribute to the residents’ support for cultural tourism. The study also revealed that the residents’ perceived cultural impact does not significantly mediate the relationship between community attachment and residents’ support for cultural tourism and between community involvement and resident support for cultural tourism. However, the residents’ attitudes toward cultural tourism and cultural tourists parallelly mediate the relationship between residents’ perceived cultural impact and residents’ support for cultural tourism. Moreover, the residents’ perceived cultural impact and attitude towards cultural tourism; perceived cultural impact and residents’ attitude towards cultural tourists, serially mediate the relationship between community attachment and residents’ support for cultural tourism, and between community involvement and residents’ support for cultural tourism. The study concludes that for cultural tourism to gain stronger support, tourism policymakers and planners must deeply understand residents’ attitudes toward cultural tourism and tourists, as well as their involvement and attachment to cultural tourism. These factors significantly influence the level of support residents provide to the cultural tourism industry, either positively or negatively. The study’s primary contribution lies in testing the revised SET model in Goa, India, an emerging cultural tourism destination, and offering valuable insights to inform effective cultural tourism planning and policymaking.
How finfluencers’ content streaming on social media affects audiences’ investment behavior: a PLS-SEM approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2026) Velip, Suraj; Jambotkar, Mrunali
The rise of finfluencer’s financial content communication on social media platforms has transformed how individual investors absorb financial information and execute investment decisions. Considering this critical research theme, this study explores how finfluencers, as new-age attention-based economic agent within the digital media ecosystem, stimulate emotions, intentions and reframe the investment behavior with their specific financial narratives. The structural relationship and mediation model are empirically validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) based on survey data from Indian retail investors.’ The results demonstrate that the emotional engagement perceived from asset tips and financial education influences investment intention and behavior. Trading strategies, investment reviews and market analysis of the other conjunctions failed to have a notable effect. The findings imply that the investor’s response to finfluencer content is molded less by rational utility maximization and more driven by behavioral and informational economics notions. This provides useful insights for finfluencers, educators and policymakers seeking to promote more informed and intellectually balanced financial communication strategies and investment behavior in the digital economy.
