Authors: Da Silva Pessanha Lucas , Santos Leandro Bruno
Published: January 2025

A análise do consumo e do comércio é de grande importância para a leitura das mudanças no ramo supermercadista, especialmente com a expansão de grandes redes nacionais e estrangeiras no Brasil. Esse avanço dos capitais ocorreu graças às mudanças políticas e econômicas na década de 1990, particularmente a abertura da economia, levando ao incremento da atuação de empresas estrangeiras no país. Neste artigo, o objetivo é analisar as estratégias espaciais e as formas de organização adotadas pelos supermercados pequenos frente ao avanço cada vez mais acentuado dos capitais extralocais e de grande porte na cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. O recorte analítico recai sobre a Rede Smart, formada a partir da articulação de 5 empresas locais. Os procedimentos metodológicos abrangeram a leitura bibliográfica, o levantamento de dados secundários e primários, a sistematização e a análise dos dados.

Background

The perception of respect for users' rights is fundamental for organizational well-being in mental health services. This cross-sectional observational study examined the job satisfaction and perception of user rights among nursing staff compared to other health professionals across seven countries in the Mediterranean and Latin American regions. This research measures this perception among nursing staff in different countries, with a particular focus on regional differences and professional roles.

Methods

Data were collected from mental health services in four Mediterranean and three Latin American countries via a structured questionnaire (Well-Being at Work and Respect Rights Questionnaire - WWRR), administered both online and on paper. Using multivariable logistic regression, the study analyzed associations between job satisfaction, respect for rights, and various socio-demographic and professional factors.

Results

Among 408 nurses and 492 other health professionals, findings revealed significant cross-country variability. Nurses in North Macedonia reported higher job satisfaction and perceived respect for user rights than other professionals (p<0.0001 in all items of the questionnaire), while Tunisian nurses showed lower organizational satisfaction but higher respect for user rights (p=0.033 for respect for rights). However, in general, no significant differences were found between nurses and other professionals across all items.

Conclusion

The perception of respect for users' rights is fundamental for organizational well-being in mental health services. The study highlights differences in organizational well-being perceptions across various contexts, emphasizing the need for culturally and economically adapted policies to improve mental health service environments globally. The results indicate the variability in the perception of respect for rights and job satisfaction between different geographical and professional contexts. This indicates the need for policies adapted to specific cultural and economic realities to improve organizational well-being in mental health services.
Educação a quanto obrigas: Quando se torna o currículo um extra ou um enriquecimento?
Authors: Duarte Pedro , Coelho Carina
Published: January 2025

The debate on education in the public sphere has been characterized by an educational emptiness, that is, by the disregard of concepts, values, and concerns that are fundamental and historically constitutive of reflection in education. Devoid of its axiological supports, the educational discussion is primarily oriented towards a utilitarian vocation, responding to the needs of the economy and the market, justified in the light of human capital theo-ries. This discursive occupation extends to the edu-cational (and life) times of children, which, highly institutionalized, are heteronomously decided and based on a potential school benefit or competitive advantage in the global market. With this article, we seek to contribute to a reflection on childhood, free time, and playfulness that is guided by emi-nently educational foundations and that frees itself from educational and instrumentalist school refer-ences. Or, in other words, to think about the possi-bilities of harmoniously combining the curriculum, freedom, and playfulness.

Performance Assessment of Large Language Models in Medical Consultation: Comparative Study
Authors: Seo Sujeong , Kim Kyuli , Yang Heyoung
Published: January 2025

Background

The recent introduction of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as an interactive consultant has sparked interest in evaluating its applicability in medical discussions and consultations, particularly within the domain of depression.

Objective

This study evaluates the capability of large language models (LLMs) in AI to generate responses to depression-related queries.

Methods

Using the PubMedQA and QuoraQA data sets, we compared various LLMs, including BioGPT, PMC-LLaMA, GPT-3.5, and Llama2, and measured the similarity between the generated and original answers.

Results

The latest general LLMs, GPT-3.5 and Llama2, exhibited superior performance, particularly in generating responses to medical inquiries from the PubMedQA data set.

Conclusions

Considering the rapid advancements in LLM development in recent years, it is hypothesized that version upgrades of general LLMs offer greater potential for enhancing their ability to generate “knowledge text” in the biomedical domain compared with fine-tuning for the biomedical field. These findings are expected to contribute significantly to the evolution of AI-based medical counseling systems.
Utility of Consumer-Grade Wearable Devices for Inferring Physical and Mental Health Outcomes in Severe Mental Illness: Systematic Review
Authors: Hassan Lamiece , Milton Alyssa , Sawyer Chelsea , Casson Alexander J , Torous John , Davies Alan , Ruiz-Yu Bernalyn , Firth Joseph
Published: January 2025

Background

Digital wearable devices, worn on or close to the body, have potential for passively detecting mental and physical health symptoms among people with severe mental illness (SMI); however, the roles of consumer-grade devices are not well understood.

Objective

This study aims to examine the utility of data from consumer-grade, digital, wearable devices (including smartphones or wrist-worn devices) for remotely monitoring or predicting changes in mental or physical health among adults with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Studies were included that passively collected physiological data (including sleep duration, heart rate, sleep and wake patterns, or physical activity) for at least 3 days. Research-grade actigraphy methods and physically obtrusive devices were excluded.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review of the following databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Technology Assessment, AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine), APA PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE(R), and IEEE XPlore. Searches were completed in May 2024. Results were synthesized narratively due to study heterogeneity and divided into the following phenotypes: physical activity, sleep and circadian rhythm, and heart rate.

Results

Overall, 23 studies were included that reported data from 12 distinct studies, mostly using smartphones and centered on relapse prevention. Only 1 study explicitly aimed to address physical health outcomes among people with SMI. In total, data were included from over 500 participants with SMI, predominantly from high-income countries. Most commonly, papers presented physical activity data (n=18), followed by sleep and circadian rhythm data (n=14) and heart rate data (n=6). The use of smartwatches to support data collection were reported by 8 papers; the rest used only smartphones. There was some evidence that lower levels of activity, higher heart rates, and later and irregular sleep onset times were associated with psychiatric diagnoses or poorer symptoms. However, heterogeneity in devices, measures, sampling and statistical approaches complicated interpretation.

Conclusions

Consumer-grade wearables show the ability to passively detect digital markers indicative of psychiatric symptoms or mental health status among people with SMI, but few are currently using these to address physical health inequalities. The digital phenotyping field in psychiatry would benefit from moving toward agreed standards regarding data descriptions and outcome measures and ensuring that valuable temporal data provided by wearables are fully exploited.

Estimating the Prevalence of Schizophrenia in the General Population of Japan Using an Artificial Neural Network–Based Schizophrenia Classifier: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Survey
Authors: Choomung Pichsinee , He Yupeng , Matsunaga Masaaki , Sakuma Kenji , Kishi Taro , Li Yuanying , Tanihara Shinichi , Iwata Nakao , Ota Atsuhiko
Published: January 2025

Background

Estimating the prevalence of schizophrenia in the general population remains a challenge worldwide, as well as in Japan. Few studies have estimated schizophrenia prevalence in the Japanese population and have often relied on reports from hospitals and self-reported physician diagnoses or typical schizophrenia symptoms. These approaches are likely to underestimate the true prevalence owing to stigma, poor insight, or lack of access to health care among respondents. To address these issues, we previously developed an artificial neural network (ANN)–based schizophrenia classification model (SZ classifier) using data from a large-scale Japanese web-based survey to enhance the comprehensiveness of schizophrenia case identification in the general population. In addition, we also plan to introduce a population-based survey to collect general information and sample participants matching the population’s demographic structure, thereby achieving a precise estimate of the prevalence of schizophrenia in Japan.

Objective

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of schizophrenia by applying the SZ classifier to random samples from the Japanese population.

Methods

We randomly selected a sample of 750 participants where the age, sex, and regional distributions were similar to Japan’s demographic structure from a large-scale Japanese web-based survey. Demographic data, health-related backgrounds, physical comorbidities, psychiatric comorbidities, and social comorbidities were collected and applied to the SZ classifier, as this information was also used for developing the SZ classifier. The crude prevalence of schizophrenia was calculated through the proportion of positive cases detected by the SZ classifier. The crude estimate was further refined by excluding false-positive cases and including false-negative cases to determine the actual prevalence of schizophrenia.

Results

Out of 750 participants, 62 were classified as schizophrenia cases by the SZ classifier, resulting in a crude prevalence of schizophrenia in the general population of Japan of 8.3% (95% CI 6.6%-10.1%). Among these 62 cases, 53 were presumed to be false positives, and 3 were presumed to be false negatives. After adjustment, the actual prevalence of schizophrenia in the general population was estimated to be 1.6% (95% CI 0.7%-2.5%).

Conclusions

This estimated prevalence was slightly higher than that reported in previous studies, possibly due to a more comprehensive disease classification methodology or, conversely, model limitations. This study demonstrates the capability of an ANN-based model to improve the estimation of schizophrenia prevalence in the general population, offering a novel approach to public health analysis.

Arte rupestre y construcción de nicho
Authors: Acevedo Agustín
Published: January 2025

This paper presents an approach to rock art from the Niche Construction Theory. It is proposed that rock art can play active roles in niche construction because it constitutes a deliberate modification of the environment, capable of building heritable environments that facilitate the interactions of individuals with nature and with other groups. This capacity is based on two qualities of rock art images which have been widely demonstrated by archeology of art and which are taken up in this paper: their ability to communicate visual information and their potential to organize/structure the use of space. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, it is applied to a regional case study focused on the rock art of southern Mendoza. Finally, the advantages of this approach to reach higher levels of complexity in the study of rock art, in relation to other more traditional evolutionary perspectives, are highlighted.

Published: January 2025

El desprendimiento autoinducido de toda o parte de la cola (autotomía caudal) es un mecanismo antidepredatorio ampliamente extendido en lagartijas. Comúnmente es seguido por la regeneración relativamente rápida de una nueva cola, muchas veces de tamaño similar a la original. A veces la cola se fractura parcialmente, sin desprenderse del organismo, y estimula un proceso regenerativo que produce una cola bifurcada. En las últimas décadas ha aumentado considerablemente el número de reportes de regeneración anormal de la cola y se ha notado que ocurre en muchas familias de lagartijas. En esta nota reportamos un caso de regeneración anormal de cola en una hembra del escíncido vivíparo Plestiodon indubitus.

EECOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF AMPHIBIAN AND REPTILE DIVERSITY: PATTERNS ACROSS SPATIAL SCALES
Authors: Ramirez Arce Daniel Gerardo , Ochoa Ochoa Leticia Margarita , Matorell Carlos
Published: January 2025

Biodiversity patterns result from evolutionary and ecological processes acting separately or in concert at different spatial and temporal scales. Since the importance of these processes may depend on taxon-specific characteristics, the ecological and evolutionary processes affecting diversity patterns will not be the same across distinct taxonomic groups. Here, we describe the major ecological determinants affecting both amphibian and reptile taxonomic and functional diversity patterns at three scales: regional, landscape, and local. In addition to the general trends presented herein, some knowledge gaps are highlighted to guide future studies that investigate the complexity of amphibian and reptile diversity patterns worldwide.

Published: January 2025

The thermal niche is the temperature conditions that affect the life history and ecology of any species. Studying how species respond to thermal niche is crucial to understanding their adaptability to the environment. Demographic characteristics of the mud turtle Kinosternon chimalhuaca have been recently evaluated, but information on many ecological aspects is still unknown. Here, we explored the thermal niche temperatures of K. chimalhuaca during a seasonal period of drought. We measured, recorded, and compiled information on body, selected microhabitat and environmental temperatures in active turtles of an aquatic site and compared this information with the microhabitat and environmental temperatures perceived by aestivating turtles in a terrestrial site. The body temperature in active turtles was 24 °C, selected temperatures in the lab were between 23-25 °C, minimal voluntary temperatures of 22 °C and maximal voluntary temperatures of 28 °C. The range temperatures in the underwater microhabitat were 23-28 °C. Temperatures in the microhabitat for aestivation (inside forest) were 15 to 25 °C. Thermal conditions outside the forest (soil temperatures) were higher than the temperatures in the microhabitat used for aestivation. Temperatures in the shallow water were relatively lower than the air temperatures recorded around the aquatic habitat. In addition to facultative aestivation of K. chimalhuaca, our data show different thermal conditions between activity and dormancy microhabitats with the potential to be favorable regarding the surrounding temperatures of environment

Published: January 2025

Heloderma alvarezi es una especie de lagarto que habita el sureste mexicano (Guerreo, Oaxaca y Chiapas) y parte de Guatemala.Durante mucho tiempo esta especie pasó desapercibida a los ojos de la ciencia, ya que desde su descripción transcurrieron varios años antes que los investigadores retomaran el estudio de este enigmático reptil. Por lo que muchos aspectos de su biología y ecología son desconocidos. Debido a ello el objetivo de este trabajo se centra en recopilar información con la finalidad de identificar las problemáticas que la especie afronta, generando literatura de apoyo para futuros estudios de conservación. Heloderma alvarezi ocupa menos del 5 % del territorio nacional mexicano y no tiene una categoría de riesgo en las normas mexicanas, por lo que se propone por primera vez con base a criterios específicos asignar una categoría a esta especie.

En reptiles, el ectoparásitismo es recurrente y es causado por garrapatas u otros ácaros, produciéndoles dermatitis y otras enfermedades de la piel. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características de las infestaciones por ácaros (abundancia, intervalo de intensidad y prevalencia) en la lagartija espinosa de vientre rosado (Sceloporus variabilis Wiegmann, 1834; Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) en el municipio de Córdoba, Omealca y Amatlán de Los Reyes pertenecientes a la zona de las Altas Montañas, Veracruz, México, así como relacionar sus características corporales con la abundancia de ácaros. Se recolectaron 14 ejemplares de S. variabilis, fueron clasificados por sexo y edad y se les extrajeron los ácaros de las diferentes partes del cuerpo. Se extrajeron 145 ácaros que fueron identificados como Eutrombicula alfreddugesi (Trombiculidae) (prevalencia fue 92.9%; abundancia 10.4 ácaros e intervalo 1-46 ácaros; Geckobiela variabilis (Pterygosomatidae) 42 (prevalencia 64.2%; abundancia 3 ácaros y el intervalo 1-13 ácaros) y solo 20 individuos no identificaros. La mayor cantidad de ácaros se presentó por debajo de las escamas de la zona axilar y lateral. El análisis de correlación mostró que las lagartijas tenían mayor cantidad de E. alfreddugesi en la cabeza; mientras que G. variabilis se ubicaba en los brazos y cola; con respecto al sexo de las lagartijas no fue un factor importante que afecte los parámetros de infestación por ácaros, por lo que otros factores de comportamiento y ambientales influyen en su alta prevalencia.

Authors: Salvador-Baltazar Leilani Mariel , Castrejón-Delgado Lizett
Published: January 2025

Introducción: La influenza es una enfermedad respiratoria viral aguda que provoca millones de casos de infección grave anualmente, afectando principalmente a niños y adultos mayores. Métodos de diagnóstico como la RT-PCR y el cultivo viral son confiables, pero costosos y lentos. Las pruebas rápidas, como QuickVue para influenza A+B, son más accesibles, aunque su sensibilidad y especificidad varían según los estudios. El fabricante de la prueba QuickVue para influenza A+B reporta una sensibilidad >80% y una especificidad >97%; sin embargo, la evidencia científica al respecto es poco precisa. Objetivo: Presentar una síntesis del conocimiento acerca de la sensibilidad y especificidad de la prueba rápida QuickVue para Influenza A+B, a través de una revisión sistemática y meta-análisis. Método. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda de estudios en PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS y ScienceDirect, así como, en literatura gris incluyendo Google académico y TESIUNAM, acorde con los lineamientos de PRISMA, se abarcaron publicaciones publicadas hasta el 22 noviembre 2022. Para la estrategia de búsqueda se utilizaron algoritmos que incluyeron las siguientes palabras: "Influenza”, “RIDTS", "RIDT”, “QuickVue”, “specificity”, “sensitivity”, “Rapid influenza diagnostic tests”, “Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction" y “RT-PCR”. Se evaluó la calidad de los estudios con la herramienta QUADAS-2 y se realizó el meta-análisis con el programa RevMan 5.3. Resultados: De 217 artículos, 17 cumplieron los criterios. Se determinó una sensibilidad del 89% y especificidad >97%, con heterogeneidad en la sensibilidad (19%-86%). Conclusión: QuickVue es altamente específica, pero su sensibilidad depende del tipo de muestra analizada.

Introducción: El queratoquiste odontogénico es un quiste epitelial del desarrollo que proviene de los restos de la lámina dental, de prevalencia relativamente alta y de comportamiento agresivo. En lesiones de gran tamaño es posible realizar una descompresión mediante la instalación de una cánula impresa en 3D, lo que facilita la posterior enucleación de la lesión quística. Objetivo: Presentar una alternativa en la descompresión para el tratamiento del queratoquiste odontogénico. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenina de 26 años, presenta aumento de volumen en la hemicara derecha a nivel de tercio medio e inferior facial de aproximadamente un año de evolución. Se realizaron estudios de imagen e histopatológicos cuyo diagnóstico fue queratoquiste odontogénico. El tratamiento consistió en realizar una descompresión de la lesión con la colocación de una cánula diseñada en el software Blender, la cual fue impresa en 3D con resina biocompatible BioMed Clear™. Luego se realizó la enucleación y curetaje de la lesión remanente, más la aplicación de 5-Fluoracilo como coadyuvante. En los estudios de control se puede observar neoformación ósea, sin datos de recidiva. Conclusiones: La cánula impresa en 3D es un dispositivo personalizado que ofrece exactitud y precisión en el tratamiento de la descompresión.

En diciembre de 2023, el presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador inauguró el Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec, reactivando así la ruta interoceánica que estrenó Porfirio Díaz en 1907 para impulsar la modernización nacional y la interconexión global. Con un enfoque en la materialidad de los objetos, este artículo examina cómo esta rehabilitación transforma relaciones y sentidos de temporalidad entre sectores obreros y campesinos de la zona. Primero, analiza las memorias encarnadas que emergen en las interacciones de extrabajadores ferrocarrileros con sus antiguos objetos de empleo. Después, da cuenta de una disputa sobre maquinaria y documentos en un conflicto sobre los supuestos beneficios del ferrocarril en una comunidad campesina. En ambos casos, los objetos son destellos materiales que emergen de la infraestructura ferroviaria, pero que encarnan a pequeña escala memorias afectivas, reclamos y gestos íntimos y colectivos a partir de los cuales los pobladores reformulan las promesas estatales.

The role of financial technology in enhancing financial inclusion: A regulatory perspective on current industry trends
Authors: Al Rifai Mohammad , AlBaker Yousef
Published: January 2025

Despite increasing global digitalization, access to essential financial services remains limited for many populations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). However, growing financial technology (FinTech) innovations have started disrupting conventional models and extending access. This research study evaluates FinTech’s role in advancing financial inclusion in the MENA region amidst the digital transformation. It first analyzes how emerging technologies transform traditional banking and financial service delivery. It then evaluates the effectiveness of crucial FinTech models such as digital payments, lending platforms, insurance technology (InsurTech), and wealth management tools in driving inclusion in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach involving a comprehensive literature review and comparative case studies of FinTech adoption and inclusion trends in developed and emerging markets. The findings indicate that while FinTech solutions have improved access for previously underserved segments like women, youth, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), continued efforts are required to address marginalized communities’ barriers. The research suggests a balance between regulatory measures and consumer protection in FinTech, emphasizing the need for collaborations to enhance technology’s role in livelihood support.
The impact of auditor’s emotional intelligence and leadership style on audit quality: A study of audit team governance
Authors: Doan Thanh Nga , Ta Thu Trang , Le Thi Khanh Hoa , Tran Viet Anh
Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate the impact of auditors’ emotional intelligence (EI) and leadership styles in the audit team on audit quality (AQ) and explore the mediating role of team trust (TT) in this relationship. The data for this study were collected through a questionnaire with 246 responses from auditors working for independent audit firms in Vietnam. From the obtained data, we conduct processing and quantitative analysis through a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v. 26 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) v. 24 software. The results of the research indicate that EI not only has a direct positive effect on AQ but also indirectly influences AQ through the mediating role of TT. Moreover, among the three leadership styles, only two, namely transformational leadership (TF) and transactional leadership (TL) have a positive impact on AQ whereas laissez-faire leadership (LL) has a negative on AQ. Additionally, TT just plays a mediating role in the relationship between TF and AQ. These results not only reinforce previous findings on the importance of EI, and leadership style to AQ (Zhao et al., 2022; Mohassel et al., 2023) but also emphasize the role of trust in the audit team in improving AQ. The findings of this research provide a foundation for audit firms to formulate appropriate policies aimed at enhancing AQ, contributing to the development of the auditing sector in Vietnam.
Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Subalpine Plant Habitat Suitability in South Korea Using SSP Scenarios
Authors: Lee Jaeho , Yoon Sungsoo , Lee Jaeseok , Seo Changwan
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the impacts of climate change on the habitat suitability of eight subalpine plant species in South Korea under four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) scenarios, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5. Using high-resolution climate data and random forest-based species distribution models (SDMs), we predicted habitat changes between 2010 and 2090s. Key bioclimatic variables, including annual mean temperature (BIO1) and annual precipitation (BIO12), were identified as primary drivers of habitat shifts. SSP5-8.5 scenarios resulted in significant habitat losses and upward altitudinal shifts, with species such as Pinus pumila and Abies nephrolepis losing all suitable habitats by 2090s. In contrast, SSP1-2.6 indicated more stable conditions, preserving habitats for species like Abies holophylla and Taxus cuspidata, highlighting the potential benefits of emission reduction efforts. This study underscores the urgent need for adaptive conservation strategies and robust emission mitigation policies to protect high-risk species and regions, safeguarding subalpine biodiversity. These findings provide a scientific foundation for policymakers to design sustainable biodiversity conservation strategies and foster climate resilience in subalpine ecosystems.
Artificial Intelligence in Auditing: How Auditor AI Use Can Mitigate Legal Liability
Authors: Libby Robert , Witz Patrick D.
Published: January 2025

Audit firms are investing billions of dollars into artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These investments have the potential to transform the audit landscape and potentially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of audit processes. These investments might also result in wider benefits for audit firms, as audit firms can leverage this technology to reinforce perceived objectivity and trust in the audit. This article summarizes a recent study by Libby and Witz (2024) that finds that the use of AI can help mitigate auditor liability by limiting the effects of the appearance of auditor independence conflicts on juror negligence assessments. This article discusses the implications of these findings. It discusses how these findings indicate a potential solution to a long-standing dilemma that audit firms have faced, where audit firms may desire to invest in favorable relationships with their audit clients while also being seen as performing objective and unbiased audit work.
Is Stakeholder Orientation Related to Corporate Tax Avoidance? New Evidence
Authors: Lin Kenny Z. , Yang Shijie , Zou Hong
Published: January 2025

SYNOPSIS

Our study examines how constituency statutes influence corporate tax avoidance. These state-level laws allow corporate boards to consider the interests of all stakeholders, not just shareholders, in their decisions. Using recent econometric advances in staggered difference-in-differences estimations, we find that after these laws are adopted, firms affected by these laws reduce their tax avoidance. This effect is stronger in firms that previously avoid more taxes or have lower corporate social responsibility ratings. Our study provides valuable insights into how stakeholder orientation influences tax behavior, offering practical implications for both corporate managers and policymakers.

COSO Framework Adoption and Cybersecurity Breaches
Authors: Tadesse Amanuel , Walton Stephanie , Zhang Yiyang
Published: January 2025

The COSO 2013 framework presents a substantial change for firms utilizing the previous (1992) internal control framework. Consequently, adopting the updated COSO 2013 framework could expand the reach of information technology controls, particularly relating to a firm’s cybersecurity activities. However, the transition and integration of the new framework into existing control systems could fail to meet the framework’s guiding principles, potentially increasing a firm’s risks. We examine whether COSO 2013 framework adoption is associated with lower cybersecurity risk exposure. We expect and find that COSO framework adoption is associated with lower breach risk, up to three years in the future. We further provide evidence that utilizing the updated framework can benefit a firm’s internal control evaluation practices, resulting in the identification of information technology material weaknesses prior to breach occurrence. Our study contributes new knowledge to the burgeoning COSO framework and cybersecurity literatures.
The Effects of Insulating and Noninsulating Cost Allocations on Cooperation and Risk-Taking
Authors: Brown Jason L. , Sprinkle Geoffrey B. , Way Dan
Published: January 2025

Cost allocations affect managers’ reported performance, making the selection of allocation methods an important control choice. Noninsulating allocations distribute costs based on realized relative performance, whereas insulating allocations are independent of relative performance. As such, noninsulating allocations create a contemporaneous interdependence between managers’ outcomes that is not present under insulating allocations. We conduct two experiments to examine how insulating and noninsulating cost allocations influence two important behaviors—cooperation and risk-taking—that impact firm performance and that theory suggests are likely affected by the fundamental differences between the two allocation methods. We find that noninsulating allocations lead to greater cooperation between managers, and greater risk-taking, than insulating allocations. We also find that noninsulating allocations lead to stronger group identification but are perceived to be less fair than insulating allocations. Collectively, our findings contribute to research and practice regarding the use of cost allocations to motivate desired attitudes and behaviors.

Do Reporting Incentives and Consequences Change under the New Lease Accounting Standard?
Authors: Christensen Derek M. , Linsmeier Thomas J. , Wangerin Daniel D.
Published: January 2025

This research evaluates whether reporting incentives and consequences change under the new lease accounting standard. Under prior guidance (SFAS 13), we predict and find firms with high financing cost sensitivities to leverage have greater incentive to finance investments with operating leases. Under the new lease accounting standard (ASU 2016-02), we predict and find this leverage incentive remains but is reduced, consistent with the FASB’s objective to limit opportunities to structure lease contracts for balance sheet purposes. Under ASU 2016-02, we also predict and find that the leverage incentive encourages firms to reduce operating lease liabilities by decreasing the duration of minimum lease payments. Lastly, we predict and find that firms use fewer operating leases under both SFAS 13 and ASU 2016-02 when managers’ income objectives exclude depreciation and/or interest expense. These findings suggest reporting incentives remain post ASU 2016-02 that encourage firms to structure leases to achieve accounting outcomes.
