Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relationship between some main characteristics of different living arrangements and the quality of life (QoL) of their users with severe intellectual disability and low-functioning autism spectrum disorders.

Design/methodology/approach

Study participants were assessed for ASD severity through the Childhood Autism Rating Scale or the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS): for behavioral problems with the aberrant behavior checklist (ABC); for perception of efficacy and satisfaction with care, through an adapted Visual Analogue Scale; and for QoL with the QoL inventory in residential environments (validated in French as Inventaire de la Qualité de Vie en Milieu Résidentiel). Because the goal was to define a “residential profile (RP),” the authors evaluated each participating residence with the Working Methods Scale and the questionnaire on residential parameters.

Findings

The RP allowed for the classification of the residences into three clusters. The authors found no clear relationship between QoL and the RP clusters, but the authors found the RP clusters to be significantly correlated with ABC factors F1 (irritability, agitation, crying) and F2 (lethargy, social withdrawal), and VABS scores for living, socialization, and motor skills.

Originality/value

RPs were more strongly correlated with ABC items and the ability to cope with everyday life than with QoL. The authors hypothesize that RP is correlated with both aberrant behavior and the autonomy of residents and that QoL remains relatively stable. Therefore, RP is correlated with the status of the residents; however, this appears not to be correlated with their QoL.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to undertake an evaluation of the research development and works associated with banking frauds and scams.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have conducted bibliometric analysis of 288 studies on issues of banking frauds and scams, published up to August 4, 2024 using Scopus and the VOS viewer software.

Findings

This study disseminates top influential authors, countries, journals, papers, funding institutions and affiliations relating to banking frauds and scams. Generally, although a great deal of work has been accomplished in this area, there are prominent gaps in such findings.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first comprehensive review of extant research relating to banking frauds and scams. It hence represents an original piece of work in applying bibliometric analysis to this topic area, offering valuable insights for practitioners and academics who seek to understand more about banking frauds and scams risks.
