Controlling social problems and environmental changes through sustainability: Evidence from Indonesian beverage companies

The purpose of this study was to better understand how businesses anticipate reducing societal resentment and environmental change as a result of exploitative activities that damage the environment. The present study used a qualitative descriptive methodology to investigate the operational sustainability practices within beverage companies. The researchers employed Nvivo qualitative data analysis software, specifically version R 1.6. 1, to effectively organize the interview data. This study demonstrates that CSR program execution does not solely rely on donations, which really makes the community dependent on the assistance given. The business has taken steps to carry out CSR in a sustainable way in order to promote community welfare and environmental sustainability in the future. In conclusion, this company has completed fifteen of the United Nations' (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). In order for stakeholders to properly reap the rewards of CSR, this research can offer an overview of the procurement of CSR programs for other companies. This study can provide an overview of the procurement of CSR programs for other companies so that the CSR received by stakeholders really feels beneficial. This study provides additional insight for subsequent researchers in the form of findings and information on the topic of CSR implementation, but the object studied is different.
The Impact of Ownership Concentration on Corporate Financialization: The Mediating Effect of Financing Constraints

This article selects small and medium-sized listed companies (with stock codes starting with 002) as the research subjects, constructing a panel dataset spanning from 2017 to 2021, resulting in a total of 4324 observations. Through an extensive review and analysis of existing literature and relevant theories, it comprehensively explores the effects of equity concentration on corporate financialization and whether these effects differ in state-owned enterprises. Additionally, it investigates the moderating effects of financing constraints as a variable. After empirical analysis and robustness tests, the following conclusions are drawn: Equity concentration has a significantly negative impact on corporate financialization. Moreover, equity concentration exacerbates financing constraints, which, in turn, suppress corporate financialization. Furthermore, compared to state-owned enterprises, equity concentration has a more pronounced inhibitory effect on corporate financialization in non-state-owned enterprises. In the context of this study, state-owned enterprises in China are those in which ownership or control belongs to the state. The research on the impact of corporate financialization in this article can provide a theoretical basis for government and financial regulatory agencies to formulate financial policies in practical terms.
A Novel Approach for Estimating Sea Surface Currents From Numerical Models and Satellite Images: Validation and Application

Ocean surface currents play a crucial role in understanding air-sea interactions, multiscale dynamics, and biogeochemical processes. Satellite remote sensing has become a powerful tool for global surface current mapping. In the past, the maximum cross correlation (MCC) method has been commonly used to estimate high-resolution surface currents over large areas. However, it has limitations in resolving finer, rotational, and deformational motions, producing erroneous and incoherent vectors. This study evaluates the reliability and robustness of a state-of-the-art window deformation iterative multigrid (WIDIM) approach in deriving high-resolution surface currents from realistic numerical model outputs. Comparisons with the “perfect” model currents show that the WIDIM method significantly outperforms the MCC method, especially in resolving strong rotational and deformation eddy velocity fields. The WIDIM method produces more accurate and coherent surface current estimates, with higher spatial resolution and fewer biases and errors. The application of the WIDIM method to satellite imagery also indicates that the WIDIM method provides remarkable improvement over the MCC method. Our findings highlight the potential of the WIDIM approach for advancing oceanographic research and practical applications.
Tropical Forcing of the Summer East Atlantic Pattern

The Summer East Atlantic (SEA) mode is the second dominant mode of summer low‐frequency variability in the Euro‐Atlantic region. Using reanalysis data, we show that SEA‐related circulation anomalies significantly influence temperatures and precipitation over Europe. We present evidence that part of the interannual SEA variability is forced by diabatic heating anomalies of opposing signs in the tropical Pacific and Caribbean that induce an extratropical Rossby wave train. This precipitation dipole is related to SST anomalies characteristic of the developing El Niño–Southern Oscillation phases. Seasonal hindcast experiments forced with observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) exhibit skill at capturing the interannual SEA variability corroborating the proposed mechanism and highlighting the possibility for improved prediction of boreal summer variability. Our results indicate that tropical forcing of the SEA likely played a role in the dynamics of the 2015 European heat wave.
Retrospective analysis of pediatric sepsis and the burden of antimicrobial resistance in Duhok, Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Introduction: Sepsis is a life-threatening complication in pediatric patients. This study primarily aimed to investigate sepsis-causing bacteria and their antimicrobial resistance profile and check the change in the antimicrobial resistance trend for some selected bacteria. In addition, we evaluated the incidence of sepsis, the related mortality rate, and the effectiveness and outcome of the treatment regimes in sepsis pediatric patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 4-year data (2018–2021) collected from three intensive care units at the Hevi Pediatric Teaching Hospital. Sepsis screening involved clinical detection and confirmation by blood culture. Results: A total of 520 out of 1,098 (47.35%) blood samples showed positive microbial growth. A decrease in sepsis rate was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) and Klebsiella pneumonia were the most commonly isolated bacteria. A notable variation in the antimicrobial resistance trend was observed among sepsis-causing bacteria. The empirical sepsis treatment recommended by the WHO was ineffective, as certain bacteria exhibited 100% resistance to every antibiotic tested. The mortality rate significantly increased from 1.3% in 2018 to 16.5% in 2021. Discussion: The antimicrobial resistance profile of sepsis causing bacteria is of concerns, indicating a potentially serious situation. Thus, to avoid treatment failure, the monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in pediatric patients is essential.
Impact of Firm's Value Relevance of Accounting Information on Stock Returns during Market over and under Reactions in Pakistan

Value relevance of accounting information (VRAI) is a fundamental characteristic of influencing stock returns. This study analyzes the impact of VRAI on stock returns during market under and overreaction in Pakistan. The data of 322 non-financial firms listed in PSX from 2005 to 2022 is used. To explain stock returns, we employ the annual stock returns and buying and holding returns model. The data on financial variables has been collected from annual reports published on the company's websites and PSX Data Stream. The outcomes show that the accounting information variables earnings per share and change in earnings per share are positively related to the stock returns during market over and under reaction. Earnings per share, net income and book value are significantly related to the BHAR diuuring market under and overreaction while earnings per share and book value are significantly related to the BHAR during market overreaction of non-financial firms. It is also concluded that balance sheet variables attract more investors to invest in the stock market during the underreaction of non-financial firms. Therefore, it is suggested that the non-financial firms must present adequate accounting information on their financial statements within the specified time frame.
The Diversity of European Research Evaluation Systems

Universities have undergone profound changes in the last decades. A shift towards more accountability and to “new public management” practices in the administration of universities took place and led to an increase of the share of project funds in some countries and to the introduction of performance-based funding systems (PRFSs) in others. In all countries, research evaluation’s importance increases. However, while research evaluation is centralized in some countries, evaluation is organized at the institutional level only in others. Thus, the importance of research evaluation and how it is organised varies across countries. In this paper, we present a typology of national research evaluation systems in Europe that sheds light on the complex issue of national differences in the organisation of research evaluation. We use the data of a two-round Delphi survey among specialists in research evaluation as a basis of our analysis and apply Multiple Correspondence Analysis to create a typology of European research evaluation systems that includes a broad range of countries, including countries, for which not much information is available to the English-speaking research community and takes into account that during the last years also the SSH are more concerned with evaluations but the commonly applied evaluation instruments do not fit their research practices. We identify five types of research evaluation: “non-metric, non-SSH” (with Iceland as the best representor), “non-metric, SSH-specific” (Switzerland, “funding, non-metric” (Norway), “funding, metric” (Denmark) and “metric, English” (Estonia). The main result of this analysis is that the national organization of research evaluation system is a complex issue and the research evaluation landscape in Europe is diverse. Yet some components can be identified that define main types of research evaluation. A secondary result is that different types of research evaluation are linked to different conditions in countries. We therefore recommend, that designers of evaluation systems make a conscious link between the goals to achieve, the incentives to promote and the design of the evaluation system, rather than to strive to the unification of evaluation systems.
Association Between Monocyte-to-High-Density Lipoprotein Ratio and Prediabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study in Chinese Population

Background The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MHR) ratio has been linked to metabolic disorders. However, there is limited research on the predisposition to MHR and prediabetes. Hence, we conducted a study to investigate the relationship between MHR and the prevalence of prediabetes. Methods In total, 85,293 participants were included in our cross-sectional observational study. Multivariable regression analysis, subgroup analyses, and interaction testing were used to determine the relationship between MHR and prediabetes. To explore the non-linear association of MHR with prediabetes risk, generalized additive model (GAM) and smoothing splines were applied. The threshold effect analysis of MHR on the risk of prediabetes was further employed to identify the turning point. Results After controlling for covariates, the results indicated that a positive correlation persisted between MHR and prediabetes (odds ratio (OR) =1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.48–1.82), and subgroup analyses found a more robust correlation between MHR and prediabetes in individuals with lower age, SBP, DBP, TG, TC and higher values of BMI and LDL-C than in their counterparts. Additionally, the correlation between MHR and the risk of prediabetes was found to be non-linear, with a turning point of −0.4 (Log-Likelihood Ratio, P< 0.001). The impact of variables on the two sides of the turning point were 1.94 (1.72, 2.19) and 0.88 (0.69, 1.14). Conclusion The positive correlation between MHR and the risk of prediabetes in Chinese participants was observed to be non-linear, and MHR ≤ −0.4 was strongly positively correlated with prediabetes risk.
Associations between Neck Circumference, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference, Wrist Circumference, and High Blood Pressure among Lithuanian Children and Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study

(1) Background: High blood pressure (HBP) and obesity are significant and growing public health issues worldwide. Our study aimed to evaluate the associations of neck circumference (NC), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and wrist circumference (WrC) with HBP among Lithuanian children and adolescents aged 7–17 years. (2) Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data on BP and anthropometric measurements were analysed in 3688 children and adolescents aged 7–17 years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the associations between anthropometric indices and HBP. (3) Results: Overall, the prevalence rates of elevated BP and hypertension were 13.7% and 12.9%, respectively. After adjustment for age, BMI, and WC, statistically significant elevated aORs were observed for associations between greater NC, MUAC, WrC, and HBP in boys (aORs: 2.13, 2.46, and 2.48, respectively) and in girls (aORs: 2.01, 2.36, and 2.09, respectively). Moreover, per-unit increase in NC, MUAC, and WrC was also associated with greater odds of HBP in boys (aORs: 1.20, 1.21, and 1.37, respectively) and in girls (aORs: 1.10, 1.10, and 1.21, respectively). The analysed anthropometric indices presented higher area under the curve values for predicting HBP in boys than in girls. (4) Conclusions: This study suggests that higher NC, MUAC, and WrC are associated with increased odds of HBP in Lithuanian children and adolescents.
Annatto-Enriched Egg Improves the Perception of Satiety in Healthy Adults—Randomized Clinical Trial: EGGANT Study

Diet is one of the factors that prevents the development and death from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It has been proposed that diets high in protein, which increase satiety, and with a high content of antioxidants, help reduce cardiovascular risk factors. The egg is one of the foods that produces greater satiety and provides antioxidants. In addition, due to its lipophilic matrix, it could improve the bioavailability of other dietary antioxidants such as Annatto. Objective. This study evaluated the effects of egg and annatto-enriched egg consumption on satiety markers and CVD risk factors in healthy adults from Colombia. Methods. A parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted, where one hundred and five (n = 105) men and women, divided into three groups, consumed daily for 8 weeks: (a) two eggs (egg group), or (b) two eggs with annatto (egg + annatto group), or (c) two egg whites (placebo group). RESULTS. The three groups were similar in gender distribution. No significant changes were found over time (before vs. after) in any of the groups nor between the groups in anthropometric variables, physical activity, eating profile, and ghrelin as an objective marker of satiety. In the egg + annatto group, subjective satiety increased (effect size 0.431; p < 0.05) after consumption. Conclusions. In healthy adults, the intake of two eggs, or two eggs with annatto daily for 8 weeks, did not result in significant changes in ghrelin; but eggs with annatto tend to increase the perception of satiety.

First Italian Experience with the Oxinium Metal-Backed Fixed-Bearing Medial Journey II Unicompartmental Knee System: Promising Short-Term Outcomes of 145 Cases

(1) Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) provides a viable alternative to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis (OA). From 2007 to 2021, 23% of all primary knee arthroplasties in Italy were UKAs. We retrospectively evaluated clinical outcomes and satisfaction in patients implanted with a new oxinium metal-backed fixed-bearing medial unicompartmental prosthesis at a 24-month follow-up. (2) Methods: From December 2020 to December 2021, 145 patients were treated by a single surgeon at a single institution using the hypoallergenic Journey II prosthesis. Clinical outcome measures included the Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), Oxford Knee Society (OKS) score, University of California Los Angeles Activity Score (UCLA), the Physical Component Summary (PCS), and the Mental Component Summary (MCS), and were calculated preoperatively and at 12 and 24 months. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) was calculated at 12 and 24 months. Patient satisfaction was collected at 24 months. The scores were compared using the Friedman test. (3) Results: All clinical scores improved significantly from baseline to 24 months (p < 0.0001), except for the FJS-12, which from 12 to 24 months did not improve significantly (p = 0.041). Patient satisfaction was 9.32 ± 0.74 out of 10. No patient experienced complications or required revision surgery. (4) Conclusions: The Journey II unicompartmental prosthesis is a valuable treatment option for end-stage medial OA, improving knee function, providing pain relief, and ensuring high patient satisfaction at 24 months.
SAR Nonsparse Scene Reconstruction Network via Image Feature Representation Learning

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is widely used in various fields due to its all-weather and all-day working characteristics. With the increasing use of SAR on small platforms, SAR is facing a series of problems due to the large volume of echo data. Imaging methods based on compressed sensing (CS) use the sparsity prior of the scene to reconstruct images from undersampled echoes. However, the CS-based method requires the imaging scene or its transformation domain to be sparse, which is not the case for most practical applications. This article proposes a deep unrolling network named NSR-NET, which is based on SAR image representation learning and is applicable for undersampled imaging in nonsparse scenes. In modeling, the learned image representation is adopted as the regularization term. Then, the proximal gradient descent (PGD) algorithm was used to derive the iterative solution of the model. In network design, the iterative process is unrolled into a deep neural network with learnable parameters. Specifically, image representation is obtained through 2-D convolutional layers in the network, and a learnable piecewise linear layer is used to fit the regularization function, which ultimately achieves the mapping from undersampled echoes to SAR images. Comparative experiment using different imaging methods shows that the imaging performance of the proposed network exceeds that of the state-of-the-art methods in nonsparse scenes. Moreover, we also designed transferability validation experiments with different radar parameters and imaging scenes, whose experimental results suggest that the proposed network has good generalization ability.
Bilateral movement asymmetries exist in recreational athletes during a 45° sidestep cut post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Individuals post-ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at elevated risk for ACL re-injury. While several studies have examined biomechanical asymmetries post-ACLR during landing, less is known about asymmetries during a sidestep cut. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare sagittal and frontal plane biomechanics at the hip and knee during a 45° sidestep cut in post-ACLR participants and healthy controls. Nineteen athletes post-ACLR and nineteen healthy controls performed a bilateral 45° sidestep cut while three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were measured. Sagittal and frontal plane kinematics and kinetics were examined at the hip and knee during stance phase. A linear mixed model compared biomechanical differences between the limbs of ACLR and healthy control participants (α = 0.05). In the post-ACLR group, peak hip extension, peak knee flexion, sagittal hip and knee excursion, and the peak knee extensor moment were significantly lower in the ACLR surgical limb compared to the non-surgical limb (p < 0.05). The peak knee flexion angle and peak knee extensor moment were also lower in the ACLR surgical limb compared to the matched control limb (p < 0.05). In summary, post-ACLR participants exhibited altered sagittal plane movement in their surgical limb that was not demonstrated in the non-surgical limb or in control participants, which may suggest avoidance, or reduced utilization of the ACLR limb.
An interaction study of online learning satisfaction with parent-child relationships and trait coping styles

As the physical and mental development of the young is not only influenced by the parent-child relationship (PR) and the student's academic performance, but also moderated by trait coping styles (TCS), the changes between these three during the online learning period in an epidemic need to be reconsidered. This study aims to explore the factors affecting online learning satisfaction (OLS) among students and their interaction with parent-child relationship and trait coping style. A web-based questionnaire was employed, encompassing general information, the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ), and queries related to OLS. A total of 1,287 valid questionnaires were collected, with 593 from junior high school students, 197 from high school students, and 497 from university students. Our findings indicate that parent-child relationship (PR), positive coping style (PCS), and learning status (LS) showed a positive correlation with OLS (r=0.110, P<0.001; r=0.786, P<0.001). Conversely, negative coping style (NCS) presented a negative correlation with OLS (r=-0.186, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis of OLS reveals that PR has a significant impact on OLS (P<0.001, β=0.291), as does LS (P<0.001, β=0.767). However, trait coping styles (TCS) appear to have no significant effect on OLS. Notably, PR plays a significant and positive mediating role between LS and OLS, with a mediation effect of 0.0132 (P<0.05), accounting for 1.682% of the total effect. These findings suggest that strengthening parent-child interactions and fostering adaptive coping mechanisms could play a crucial role in enhancing students' satisfaction with online education. Such improvements could potentially contribute to superior academic outcomes and overall student well-being.
