Stakeholder Orientation, Environmental Performance and Financial Benefits

In this paper, we examine the impact of stakeholder orientation on environmental performance and financial benefits from environmental performance. We use firm-level data from Canada and the United States spanning the years 2002 to 2020 and classify all Canadian firms and those U.S. firms located in states that have passed constituency statutes as stakeholder-oriented. We first show that Canadian firms and stakeholder-oriented U.S. firms have better environmental performance than shareholder-oriented U.S. firms. We then find that good environmental performance increases profits and valuations for all firms in the U.S., but especially for shareholder-oriented firms. For Canadian firms overall there is no consistent financial impact. Moreover, the financial impact of environmental performance becomes negative for Canadian firms after the Supreme Court decision in 2008 on BCE Inc. vs. 1976 Debentureholders, stating that the duty of the board of directors is to act in the best interest of the corporation, not its shareholders. The U.S. results for valuations are robust after taking into account potential endogeneity issues using instrumental variables and dynamic panel regressions. Thus, our results suggest a trade-off between firm environmental and financial performance under different governance schemes. On the one hand, stakeholder orientation decreases financial benefits from firms’ environmental performance. On the other hand, shareholder orientation may be detrimental to the environment. This has important policy implications for the current debate on climate change mitigation.
Growth, movement, and attrition of northern bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, in the Pacific Ocean, as determined by tagging

ENGLISH: The growth of northern bluefin tuna is described by a two-stanza model. For fish between 191 and 564 mm in length the Gompertz curve, with values of 581 mm and 4.32 for Loo and K (annual), respectively, is used. The fish between 564 and 1530 mm grow linearly, at the rate of 0.709 mm per day. Age-O fish tagged and released in the western Pacific Ocean have been recaptured in the western, central, and eastern Pacific. The minimum time between release in the western Pacific and recapture in the eastern Pacific is 215 days. Older fish, mostly Land 2-year olds, tagged and released in the eastern Pacific have been recaptured in the eastern and western Pacific. The minimum time between release in eastern Pacific and recapture in the western Pacific is 674 days. The coefficient of natural mortality is estimated from data on growth and ambient temperature to be 0.276 on an annual basis, with 90-percent confidence limits of 0.161 and 0.47L Spawning of northern bluefin takes place only in the western Pacific. Some of the juveniles migrate to the eastern Pacific, where they reside for several months to several years before returning to the western Pacific. The portion of fish which migrate to the eastern Pacific varies among years, and this appears to be an important cause of the annual variation in the catches in the eastern Pacific Ocean. SPANISH: El crecimiento del atun aleta azul del norte es descrito por un modelo de dos estadios. Para los peces de entre 191 y 564 mm de talla se usa la curva de Gompertz, con valores de 581 mm y 4.32 para Loo y K (anual), respectivamente. Los peces de entre 564 y 1530 mm crecen de forma lineal, a 0.709 mm por dia. Peces de edad Omarcados y liberados en el Pacifico occidental han sido recapturados en el Pacifico occidental, central, y oriental. La demora minima entre la liberacion en el Pacifico occidental y la recaptura en el Pacifico oriental es de 215 dias. Peces mayores, principalmente de 1 o 2 anos de edad, marcados y liberados en el Pacifico oriental han sido re capturados en el Pacifico occidental y oriental. La demora minima entre la liberacion en el Pacifico oriental y la recaptura en el Pacifico occidental es de 674 dias. Se estima el coeficiente de mortalidad natural a partir de los datos de crecimiento y temperatura ambiental en un 0.276 anual, con limites de confianza al 90% de 0.161 y 0.471. El aleta azul del norte desova unicamente en el Pacifico occidental. Algunos de los juveniles migran al Pacifico oriental, donde permanecen entre varios meses y varios anos antes de regresar al Pacifico occidental. La porcion de los peces que migran al Pacifico oriental varia entre anos, y esto parece ser una causa importante de la variacion anual en las capturas en el Oceano Pacifico oriental.

An Intelligent Product-Driven Manufacturing System Using Data Distribution Service

As key components of smart factories, intelligent production machines are gradually becoming a major capital asset of companies in the market, offering connectivity, interoperability, and services. However, due to commercial and technological constraints, production machines rarely provide enough information for customers to develop data-driven applications. Therefore, this research proposes that intelligence be built into them to assist in production control and allow relevant data to be collected and made available for future use. In order to realize this proposal, an operational paradigm for such systems is first outlined in this paper. Then, the states of workpieces in a production environment are classified, and the methods of generation, operation, and transfer of instances are described. The next step is to build an intelligent product-driven manufacturing system using Data Distribution Service (DDS). Intelligent workpieces and machines collaborate to complete production tasks in such a system. During this collaborative process, an intelligent workpiece continuously collects relevant data and packages it together for the customer on its transformation into a final product. The feasibility of this intelligent product-driven manufacturing system is examined by upgrading a classic manufacturing factory. In addition, the study explores the system architecture, the implementation of a classic system upgrade, the production data collection, and the intellectualization of data assets. In conclusion, the results of this study will help machine builders expand their business models, providing customers with production machines that carry data for advanced data-driven applications.
URB447 Is Neuroprotective in Both Male and Female Rats after Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia and Enhances Neurogenesis in Females

The need for new and effective treatments for neonates suffering from hypoxia–ischemia is urgent, as the only implemented therapy in clinics is therapeutic hypothermia, only effective in 50% of cases. Cannabinoids may modulate neuronal development and brain plasticity, but further investigation is needed to better describe their implication as a neurorestorative therapy after neonatal HI. The cannabinoid URB447, a CB1 antagonist/CB2 agonist, has previously been shown to reduce brain injury after HI, but it is not clear whether sex may affect its neuroprotective and/or neurorestorative effect. Here, URB447 strongly reduced brain infarct, improved neuropathological score, and augmented proliferative capacity and neurogenic response in the damaged hemisphere. When analyzing these effects by sex, URB447 ameliorated brain damage in both males and females, and enhanced cell proliferation and the number of neuroblasts only in females, thus suggesting a neuroprotective effect in males and a double neuroprotective/neurorestorative effect in females.
Creativity of Elementary School 1 Pekanbaru Teachers in Learning Cultural Arts and Craft (SBDP)

This study employed a qualitative research method and a descriptive approach to data collection. The mural decorations and the teachers in the school served as the study's subjects, while the study's objects included the subject matter of the mural decorations, the shape of the symbol, the color, and the composition of the mural art. The research and interviews were conducted in classrooms I through VI of SDN 1 Pekanbaru, which totaled 15 classes; of these, a sample of three classes was taken. Observational methods, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation all contributed to the collection of research data. Methods of qualitative and descriptive analysis were utilized in the study of the data. The findings revealed that the appreciation of mural art was due to the creativity of the teacher in terms of shape, color, line, illustration, and the theme that was raised. Specifically, the following was the theme that was raised: first, a teacher at SDN 1 Pekanbaru characterized a simple form of the elements of natural balance as a mural object. One of them is about the image of freshness and coolness given by nature, and the importance of preserving the surrounding natural environment, such as in the mural "Come on, Preserve Nature", which is on the wall decoration for class VI-B, and the mural art for class VB is entitled "Let's Respect and Appreciate Each other's Mural Art.
The Effectiveness of Silver Nanoparticles Mixed with Calcium Hydroxide against Candida albicans: An Ex Vivo Analysis

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in combination with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) against Candida albicans (C. albicans). Methods: AgNPs was mixed with pure Ca(OH)2 powder in an aqueous base. A standard suspension (1 × 108 bacterial cells/mL) of C. albicans was prepared in a 96-well plate and incubated on shaker at 37 °C in 100% humidity to allow fungal biofilm formation in infected dentin slices (n = 98). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of AgNPs alone or with Ca(OH)2 were determined. The samples were separately placed in 24-well tissue culture plates and divided into three experimental groups (0.03, 0.04, and 0.06) and three control groups; negative (saline) and positive chlorhexidine gel and Ca(OH)2. Quantitative measurements of fungal activity by XTT colorimetric assay and qualitative measurements using confocal laser microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were performed. Results: The cell viability of C. albicans in the experimental groups was significantly reduced compared to the negative control group. The combination of (AgNPs (0.04%) and Ca(OH)2) was the most potent against C. albicans. Conclusions: The findings demonstrated that combining silver nanoparticles with Ca(OH)2 was more effective against C. albicans biofilm compared to Ca(OH)2 alone, suggesting a combing effect.

The Interactions of City Tourism Stakeholders in Indonesia: Lessons from Surabaya Heritage Track

Given the increased in historical tourism in urban areas, sustainable and competitive city tourism requires an integrated management approach based on the principles of collaborative governance. This article aims to discuss the collaboration among stakeholders in managing Surabaya Heritage Track as a historical city tour. The collaboration involves the private sector, local government, and the community. This qualitative analytical descriptive study uses case a study approach, and collected data through in-depth unstructured interviews and observation. The study shows that the success of Surabaya Heritage Track is influenced by the government policies of corporate social responsibility, and the commitment of the private sector to make the innovation design on the tourism objects with thematic tours. The finding reveals that community support also becomes the strength and resources in collaborative governance, while the initiation of collaboration comes from the private sector. However, the role of local government is still limited, because the collaboration is informal. Interestingly, the collaboration continues because the private sector has a high commitment to preserving the historical heritage of the city. We suggests that local governments facilitate the expansion and enhancement of stakeholder involvement and the institutionalized collaboration can be enhanced to ensure competitive and sustainable city tourism.
Melatonin Modulates Tomato Root Morphology by Regulating Key Genes and Endogenous Hormones

Melatonin plays a vital role in plant growth and development. In this study, we treated hydroponically grown tomato roots with various concentrations of exogenous melatonin (0, 10, 30, and 50 μmol·L−1). We utilized root scanning and microscopy to examine alterations in root morphology and cell differentiation and elucidated the mechanism by which melatonin regulates these changes through the interplay with endogenous hormones and relevant genes. The results showed that for melatonin at concentrations ranging between 10 and 30 μmol·L−1, the development of lateral roots were significantly stimulated, the root hair growth was enhanced, and biomass accumulation and root activity were increased. Furthermore, we elucidated that melatonin acts as a mediator for the expression of genes, such as SlCDKA1, SlCYCA3;1, SlARF2, SlF3H, and SlKT1, which are involved in the regulation of root morphology changes. Additionally, we observed that melatonin influences the levels of endogenous hormones, including ZT, GA3, IAA, ABA, and BR, which subsequently impact the root morphology development of tomato roots. In summary, this study shows that tomato root morphology can be promoted by the optimal concentration of exogenous melatonin (10–30 μmol·L−1).

A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Impact of Telemedicine on Patient Experience and Care Continuity

Background: Telemedicine is the use of electronic information to communicate technologies to provide and support healthcare when distance separates the participants. Satisfaction and engagement of patients are key resource indicators for any healthcare setup and healthcare provider for evolving the care continuum (a system that provides a comprehensive range of health services so that care can evolve with the patient over time) and ensuring continuous quality improvement in the systems. As the latest remarkable strategy to connect with patients for consultations and follow-up, telemedicine has been of pivotal importance, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), where medicinal services utilize digital sound, video, and information interchanges to remotely access and provide care. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was planned during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from April 2021 to April 2022 to assess the impact of telemedicine in essential healthcare delivery by super specialty tertiary care healthcare setup, which is also a medical college, by three consultants and a physiotherapist. Results: There was a significant improvement in satisfaction scores and an improvement in the approach of patients towards telemedicine was observed. Various other parameters, like readmission compliance with medications and a reduction in ED times, were also observed. Finally, clinical endpoints were captured, and the correlation between readmission and medicine adherence was found to be strongly correlated (r = 0.9). A p-value of the reduction in utilization times of ED (emergency department), readmission, and medicine adherence was found to be highly significant Conclusions: Telemedicine is the need of the hour and is now an essential part of healthcare. Its acceptance post-COVID-19 pandemic and adaptability into existing healthcare setups would deliver fruitful results.
Computing Transiting Exoplanet Parameters with 1D Convolutional Neural Networks

The transit method allows the detection and characterization of planetary systems by analyzing stellar light curves. Convolutional neural networks appear to offer a viable solution for automating these analyses. In this research, two 1D convolutional neural network models, which work with simulated light curves in which transit-like signals were injected, are presented. One model operates on complete light curves and estimates the orbital period, and the other one operates on phase-folded light curves and estimates the semimajor axis of the orbit and the square of the planet-to-star radius ratio. Both models were tested on real data from TESS light curves with confirmed planets to ensure that they are able to work with real data. The results obtained show that 1D CNNs are able to characterize transiting exoplanets from their host star’s detrended light curve and, furthermore, reducing both the required time and computational costs compared with the current detection and characterization algorithms.
Multielement Conodont Apparatuses of the Ellisonidae from Japan

Abstract. The apparatuses of Triassic ellisonid conodonts: Cornudina breviramulis, Hadrodontina aequabilis, and Staeschegnathus perrii gen. et sp. nov. from the Taho Formation in Higashiuwa-gun, Ehime Prefecture, Southwest Japan and Furnishius triserratus from the Iwai Formation in Nishitama-gun, Tokyo were reconstructed on the basis of the multielement structure of natural assemblages previously reported. Ellisonia triassica was remarked on this occasion. These species well agree with the general septimembrate apparatus structure containing 15 elements: angulate or pastinate P1, angulate P2, breviform digyrate M, alate S0, extensiform digyrate S1 and S2, and bipennate S3 and S4 elements. Having compared the morphologic features of apparatus elements of the Ellisonidae, I propose herein the new subfamily Hadrodontinae within it. Among the Ellisonidae and other taxa of the Prioniodinina, a phylogenetic relationship is recognized only between E. triassica and Upper Devonian Hibbardella angulata. Other species of the Ellisonidae are more closely related to ozarkodinides with “ozarkodiniform” angulate P1 element than any previously reported prioniodininids with “oulodiniform” extensiform digyrate and carminate P1 elements.
