Purpose: Identity fraud is a growing issue for online retail organisations. The literature on this issue is scattered, and none of the studies presents a holistic view of identity fraud management practices in the online retail context. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the identity fraud management practices and present a comprehensive set of practices for e-tail sector.Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review approach was adopted, and the articles were selected through pre-set inclusion criteria. The authors synthesised existing literature to investigate identity fraud management in e-tail sector.Findings: The research finds that literature on practices for identity fraud management is scattered. The findings also reveal that firms assume identity fraud issues as a technological challenge, which is one of the major reasons for a gap in effective management of identity frauds. This research suggests e-tailers to deal this issue as a management challenge and counter strategies should be developed in technological, human and organisational aspects.Research limitations/implications: This study is limited to the published sources of data. Studies, based on empirical data, will be helpful to support the argument of this study; additionally, future studies are recommended to include a wide number of databases.Practical implications: This research will help e-tail organisations to understand the whole of identity fraud management and help them develop and implement a comprehensive set of practices at each stage, for effective management identity frauds.Originality/value: This research makes unique contributions by synthesising existing literature at each stage of fraud management and encompasses social, organisational and technological aspects. It will also help academicians understanding a holistic view of available research and opens new lines for future research.

The oil and gas industry remains vital to the global economy, yet its operations contribute significantly to environmental degradation, one of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century. This study explores the lived experiences of those directly impacted by the negative externalities of oil and gas activities, with a focus on gas flaring, oil spills, and habitat loss. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental conservation in lower-income countries remain underexplored in the existing literature. This study addresses that gap by specifically examining Nigeria’s oil and gas industry context. It examines the extent to which CSR initiatives address or intensify these environmental issues, raising the central question: to what extent do CSR efforts contribute meaningfully to environmental conservation, and how are they perceived by affected communities? Using an exploratory qualitative approach, this study draws on in-depth, face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders, including oil company staff and host community members. Data were analysed thematically through inductive coding, leading to the construction of one overarching theme: “CSR as a strategic response.” This theme emerged from three central codes—afforestation, shore protection, and environmental conservation and remediation. Findings suggest that CSR must evolve from transactional interventionist gestures to long-term ecological stewardship.

Effective and efficient staff scheduling has always been a challenging issue, especially in health service organisations. Both the extremes of staff shortage and overage have an adverse impact on the performance of healthcare organisations. In this case, an electronic and systematic staff scheduling (e-rostering) system is the often seen as the best solution. Unless an organisation has an effective implementation of such a system, possible cost savings, efficiency, and benefits could be minimal. This study is aimed to research key success factors for the successful effective implementation of an electronic rostering system, especially at healthcare organisations. A case study research method was used to evaluate critical success factors for effectively implementing an e-rostering system. The data were collected through interviews and observations. The findings indicate that technical support, an effective policy, leadership, clear goals and objectives, gradual change, evidence of the advantages of the new system, senior management support, and effective communication are the critical success factors in implementing an e-rostering system in healthcare organisations. Prior to this study, no such factors were grounded in the current context, so this research would help in bridging the gap towards effective implementation of an e-rostering system in the healthcare sector. This research also suggests future studies in different cultures and contexts.

Present research was conduct to build up an efficient protocol for various concentrations of 2, 4-D for ”Callus formation and somatic embryogenesis in sugarcane (saccharin spp L.) Using various concentrations of 2, 4-D and RAPD analysis of regenerated plants in the Laboratory of Biotechnology Nuclear Institute of Agriculture Tandojam during the year 2013- 2014. Three sugarcane varieties Bl4, NIA-2010, NIA-2011 with various concentrations of 2, 4-D (0.5.1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mg l-1). While 3.0 mg l-1 Kin+IAA+IBA were used for callus proliferation and shoot formations. Four different concentration of IBA were used for rooting purpose 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mgl-1+20 g Sugar. Embryonic callus was obtained by culturing young apical merited. Eight-month field grown three sugarcane clones via; BL4, NIA-2010 and NIA-2 011 we use for tissue culture somatic embryonic callus studies. The apical meristematic region was used for callus formation and somatic embryogenesis induction on 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mg l-1.2, 4-D actively growing callus was subcultured on kin.IAA, IBA, 3.0 mg l-1. Maximum callus proliferation and a number of plantlets shoot length and regeneration growth was observed in those plants that call taken from 1.0 and 2.0 mg l-1.2, 4-D Maximum chlorophyll mutation frequency was recorded in NIA-2010 and BL4 grown on 1.0 mg l-1 2, 4-D. The maximum number of roots was observed in BL4 when 1.0 mg l-1IBA+ 20% sugar was applied, variability obtained through callus culture and also confirmed through random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques.
