| Summary/Abstract |
What are the names of all those delicious apples that are often sold unlabelled at fruit and vegetable markets or that are piled up in all colours and shapes in the display cases at the entrance to the supermarket? They might be called Pink Lady, Empire or Firmgold - and you wonder which types originally gave rise to these hybrids. At any rate, it's been a long time since they originated exclusively in one country. Trying to distinguish between the many varieties of blue-mould cheese takes more time than the layperson's patience will allow. Nevertheless, he would be happy to know whether or not a Blue Castello would be a tasty alternative to his favourite Danablu. And since Asian cooking styles have begun to enjoy enormous popularity, public interest in these exotic delicacies has increased immensely. However, the origins or uses of these ingredients in the kitchen are often still unknown. This well structured and highly informative reference book provides help with all of these questions, identifies approximately 2000 ingredients by name and describes their composition and uses. This book will help cooks - and everyone who likes to eat - find their way through the world's jungle of ingredients.

| Summary/Abstract |
Business accelerators are key actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, positively influencing the startups they support. Still, academic research on the factors that contribute to an accelerator’s success is limited. Recognising their fundamental role in fostering innovation across diverse entrepreneurial ecosystems, this article focuses on understanding the factors affecting their success ratio across the European Union (EU), adopting a comparative approach between emerging and advanced economies. In doing so, it investigates factors like their strategies and structure, their innovation ranking and their sectoral focus. Results from 41 accelerators across 19 European countries suggest that the accelerators adopt different strategies for startup engagement with investors and that the innovation ranking of their country affects the standing of the accelerator in the ecosystem. They vary in their funding strategies, but the majority address broad sectoral spectrums. There is divergence in their investment strategies between developing and advanced European economies, as accelerators from the former still focus on rather technologically mature sectors, while accelerators from the latter have shifted their focus to emerging sectors.

| Summary/Abstract |
Female entrepreneurship continues to play a pivotal role in generating employment in the developing economies, particularly in the informal sector. There is, however, a paucity of empirical research on the impact of women-owned enterprises on gender-disaggregated informal sector work in South-eastern Nigeria. The research was conducted using a survey method, which gathered 500 female entrepreneurs. The effects of entrepreneurial activity, experience, financial assistance and capital on aggregate informal sector employment, male informal sector employment and female informal sector employment were estimated using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. The results indicate that female entrepreneurship has a significant positive impact on informal sector employment in all three categories. There is also a positive and statistically significant effect of entrepreneurial experience, business capital and financial assistance on employment outcomes. This relationship between entrepreneurship and experience created a cohesive impact on employment among the women. The findings emphasise the significant contribution of female entrepreneurs to spreading employment in informal sectors, particularly in the recovery process after COVID-19. It is a study with policy implications that boosting entrepreneurial capacities among women could increase employment and economic sustainability in the area.

| Summary/Abstract |
Universities play a crucial role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems, particularly in emerging regions where economic development depends on effective knowledge transfer and strategic leadership. This study examines the role of university leadership in building innovation ecosystems through a contextualised approach that integrates universities, businesses and the State. Using a qualitative grounded theory methodology, we conducted in-depth interviews with six university executives, six business leaders and two government officials (one local and one national). Additionally, a policy document analysis was performed to assess the alignment between academia, industry and government in fostering innovation in the Magdalena region. Findings reveal that while universities are increasingly promoting entrepreneurship, a lack of coordination with government and industry hinders the formation of a robust innovation ecosystem. Businesses report limited awareness of government support programmes, and policymakers have not established effective mechanisms to facilitate collaboration. Regulatory barriers and communication gaps further restrict the implementation of innovation policies. This study proposes a contextualised strategic model for university leadership that strengthens the Triple Helix framework by emphasising the need for greater alignment between academia, industry and government. The model provides practical strategies for improving collaboration, enhancing policy dissemination and fostering financial support mechanisms for entrepreneurship. By addressing these structural gaps, universities in emerging regions can play a more proactive role in driving economic growth and innovation-led development.

| Summary/Abstract |
Social enterprises in emerging economies face persistent resource constraints and institutional voids that challenge their ability to sustain innovation while pursuing dual social and economic missions. This study examines how organisational culture influences innovation performance in nascent social enterprises, focusing on the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation. Drawing on survey data from 253 early-stage social enterprises in Vietnam, the findings reveal that organisational culture enhances innovation performance primarily by fostering entrepreneurial orientation, which enables enterprises to act proactively, embrace calculated risk-taking and pursue innovative solutions under constrained conditions. The results further indicate that entrepreneurial orientation partially mediates the relationship between organisational culture and innovation performance, highlighting its role as a key internal mechanism for translating cultural resources into innovative outcomes. By integrating insights from dynamic capability theory and the hybrid organisation literature, this study provides context-sensitive evidence for entrepreneurship research in emerging economies. It offers practical implications for entrepreneurs, support organisations and policymakers seeking to strengthen innovation capacity in social enterprises.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many governments aim to increase national wealth through global trade. The emerging literature highlights that one specific aspect of global trade—patenting in foreign lands—plays a crucial role in nations’ pursuit of economic prosperity. However, a nuanced understanding of how different characteristics of outward-bound patent portfolios relate to varying income levels across countries is lacking. This article addresses that gap. Using methods inspired by the revealed comparative advantage literature, we develop a set of analytical tools with significant capacity to assess the breadth, depth and overall strength of international patent portfolios for a data set of 202 countries from 2000 to 2018. The results reveal the extent to which countries from four income groups (high, upper-middle, lower-middle and low income) either specialise in specific technologies or diversify their portfolios across various inventions. Based on these empirical findings, we propose the Middle Way theory of incremental technological growth. Our conceptual framework can be applied to national technological and trade promotion policies, aligning them with patent protection abroad. This alignment aims to maximise domestic economic gains from foreign trade under limited national resources.

| Summary/Abstract |
Few would consider Arabic as a part of the South Asian coastal heritage. Yet, contrary to what scholars have assumed until recently, Arabic literary production on the southwestern coast of India is documented from the 1300s at the latest. Some Arabic texts from this region are at the centre of our ongoing project on Hindu–Muslim–Jewish origin legends from the Malabar Coast. In this article, I will focus on one Arabic textual tradition, which (a) transgressed various literary genres and (b) circulated between the Arab world and South Asia. This is the story of the moon splitting into two halves. The split moon is mentioned in the Qurʾān, where it is interpreted either as an eschatological sign or as proof of Muḥammad’s truthful claim to prophethood. The latter interpretation became elaborated and included in works on Muḥammad’s biography and special qualities, universal histories and praise poetry to the Prophet. It also became part of the tellings of the Muslim origin legend that circulated in Malabar. My contribution explores the moon-splitting traditions between the Eastern Mediterranean and the Malabar Coast across different literary genres.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article critiques the historiographical tendency to classify Malabar’s religious buildings as either ‘Indic’ or ‘non-Indic’, or as expressions of siloed sectarian identities, such as Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish. Drawing on the material and architectural study of temples, mosques, churches and synagogues, it argues that these structures are better understood as entangled forms shaped by shared building traditions, artisan mobility, climatic adaptation and interreligious patronage. Descriptions of mosques and churches as ‘temple-like’, or synagogues as anomalous, reveal a diffusionist logic that assumes singular cultural origins and one-way influence. In response, the article proposes transculturality as a methodological framework that shifts analysis from models of unidirectional influence to processes of convergence, adaptation and situated translation in Malabar’s architectural history. Rather than treating transculturation as exceptional, it argues that it was, in fact, constitutive of the very formation of architectural traditions and practices in the region over time. The article therefore calls for a decolonial re-reading of Malabar’s religious architecture beyond civilizational essentialism and sectarian taxonomies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Central to the process of Indian nation-building in the mid-twentieth century was the framing of cultural policies aimed at producing an aesthetic sensibility representative of a distinctly national identity which is ‘modern’ yet ‘Indian’. Existing studies on the Union government’s cultural policies of this period focus on the new upper-caste, upper-class cultural leadership and their role in displacing hereditary communities of artists from their profession. The article seeks to establish that selective inclusion of certain art forms by the cultural bureaucracy in educational institutions was a deliberate attempt to ensure that young Indian nationals were endowed with certain forms of cultural literacy that could be identified as Indian. In this context, this article examines the emergence of government-sponsored cultural arts competitions in the 1950s, known as the yuvajanotsavam (youth festival), in the southern Indian state of Kerala, and argues that they played a major role in producing a ‘modern’ aesthetic sensibility that the government legitimized in the name of nation-region building. The present article reflects on this ‘modern’ national aesthetic by drawing upon archival material related to the youth festival and existing scholarly discussions and debates on post-colonial cultural politics in Kerala in relation to arts education, nation-region building, gender, caste and sexuality, embedded in the colonialist and nationalist projects.

| Summary/Abstract |
What demarcates one religion from another? This question lies at the core of the field of comparative religion, an academic discipline deeply rooted in orientalist approaches to religion, resulting in classifications that are informed by Eurocentric biases. Arguably, conceptual frameworks of conversion and translation offer Indigenous perspectives on religious demarcation, considering the translational processes involved with religious conversion, on the one hand, and the conversion of literary genres and linguistic registers involved with translation strategies across the world long before colonialism. Following the discovery of an episode translated from Arabic into Malayalam and embedded in the story of conversion from Hinduism into Islam, this article offers an analytical framework based on Indigenous conceptualization of conversion and translation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Stories about the splitting of the moon provide a basis for comparison across Latin monastic chronicles, Arabic Islamic narratives and Malayalam histories. The resemblances between these accounts emerge from distinct religious, political and institutional settings. In each context, a disturbance in the heavens becomes a way of articulating royal authority, moral order and communal self-understanding. Comparison here becomes an analytical problem to be handled with care rather than evidence of transmission. This approach makes it possible to read connected and disconnected histories together, without collapsing them into a single explanatory line. This article also shows how digital editions and collective reading practices render manuscript differences newly visible. They allow variation, disagreement and editorial choice to be traced across corpora and at scale. In doing so, they support a method of comparative medieval history that is disciplined in its handling of sources and transferable beyond the cases examined here.

| Summary/Abstract |
This introductory essay places the special issue in the context of current debates about decolonizing higher education. We consider how knowledge production and teaching practices are still shaped by Eurocentric ways of thinking, especially in South Asian Studies. Post-colonial scholarship has already shown how academic disciplines are rooted in colonial histories, but there has been far less focus on what decolonial teaching might look like in practice. The articles collected here, with a focus on the Malabar Coast and Kerala, study erasure, marginalization and harmful systems of classification across journalism, architecture, performance, literature and religious history. Together, they identify transcultural connections and Indigenous knowledge systems that challenge civilizational hierarchies and narrow disciplinary approaches. We set these discussions within the wider crisis facing the Humanities and the decline of language-based area studies, arguing that decolonial pedagogy depends on renewed engagement with local languages, archives and knowledge traditions. By looking at the Malabar Coast as a site of disconnected histories and numerous co-existing knowledge worlds, the issue proposes decolonial approaches that link research, teaching and critically reflective academic practice.

| Summary/Abstract |
This exploratory scope study examines research conducted in the domain of family-owned manufacturing businesses in India, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which constitute more than 80% of the country’s business entities. Due to diverse constraints, SMEs face challenges and have opportunities that are not harnessed. Therefore, this study extracts the literature on SMEs and analyze it in terms of methodology, topics, publications and findings, aiming to develop an analyzed snapshot of the domain’s current state through a synthesized research corpus. The study’s objective is to identify gaps in the research repository due to both identified and unidentified limitations. Through the rigorous approach, our study’s outcome informs the agenda for future research and its rationale. As an exploratory study, this paper provides a snapshot for scholars to direct their studies to areas that are important to the domain and have been neglected, leaving not one but several gaps and directions. The key findings highlight the opportunities, such as working in trust-based networks, learning across generations to handle business, the use of resources and networks to have enough resilience during a crisis, and transitioning to green manufacturing practices despite having constraints. In terms of challenges, family-owned businesses often struggle with financial and governance risks. It is also observed that no SME-specific quality models are present in the literature. Resistance to innovation, managing family business interrelations and the choice between cost and sustainability are also found among common dilemmas. The outcome of this analysis offers clue for academics, policymakers and professionals working in family-owned businesses and SMEs in developing countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
In network games under a cooperative framework, the position value is a link-based allocation rule. It is obtained from the Shapley value of an associated cooperative game where the links in the network are considered players. The Shapley value of each of the links is then divided equally among the players who form those links. The inherent assumption is that the value is indifferent to the weights of the players in the network. Depending on how central a player is in the network or their ability to form links with other players, etc., players can be considered to have weights. Thus, in such situations, dividing the Shapley value equally among the players can be an overly simplistic notion. We propose a generalized version of the position value, that is, the weighted position value, that allocates the Shapley shares proportionally to the players’ weights. These weights for the players are exogenously given. We provide two axiomatic characterizations of our value. Finally, a bidding mechanism is formulated to show that any subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium (SPNE) of this mechanism coincides with the weighted position value.

| Summary/Abstract |
While empirical and conceptual studies highlight the interdependence of hospitals and allied firms in medical-tourism destinations, few offer theoretical models capturing this dimension. This study develops a model featuring two interdependent sectors: hospitals providing medical care and allied-firms offering complementary services (e.g., accommodation, food, transport) that support the stay of patients and their companions in the destination. We examine two market structures: a monopoly hospital providing homogeneous service quality and a vertically differentiated duopoly comprising high-quality and low-quality hospitals. Each structure is analyzed under two institutional settings: non-coordination, where hospitals independently set service-quality to maximize their own profits; and coordination, where a central planning-authority chooses quality levels to maximize joint sectoral profit. Results show a trade-off—coordination improves accessibility and allied-sector profits through lower medical service quality and prices, while non-coordination yields higher medical-service quality and greater profits for the hospital-sector but reduces demand and profitability of the allied-sector. Sensitivity analysis suggests that widening income-dispersion improves medical service-quality under monopoly, but may lower the quality levels under duopoly if the high-end hospital’s initial quality is sufficiently high.
