Conservation leads to less income for rural residents? Evidence from a comparison of western and eastern China
Authors: Ma Zihao
Published: July 2024

Compared with their fellow citizens in the city, rural residents are more likely to be affected by ecological restoration programs and policies. Yet no one has conducted a large-scale study of how ecological conservation impacts rural livelihoods and the economic status of rural households, especially in China. To fill that knowledge gap, I collected and analyzed relevant data from 2007 to 2018 for western and eastern China. I found that the relationship between western China’s green coverage rate and rural income followed an inverted U curve whereas that between its green coverage rate and urban-rural income gap was instead U-shaped, suggesting that ecological restoration has come to eventually negatively impact the economic welfare of rural residents in western China; however, the complete opposite was found in eastern China. Greater urbanization, financial support, and infrastructure such as education, medical, and Internet services would help to improve the current situation in western China. This suggests the government should take actions—such as improving the quality of farmer training to the rural residents and improving infrastructure construction—to help farmers acquire a new source of income and narrow the urban-rural income gap in parallel to implementing ecological restoration projects.
On the Diophantine equation $~(p^n)^x+(4^mp+1)^y=z^2~$ when $~p, 4^mp+1~$ are prime numbers
Authors: Nam Pham Hong
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we solve the Diophantine equation $(p^n)^x+(4^mp+1)^y=z^2$ in $\mathbb{N}$ for $p\geq 3$ and $1+4^mp$ are prime integers. Concretely, using the congruent method, we prove that this equation has no non-negative solutions if $p>3$. For the case $p=3$, we will show that this equation has no solutions if $m>1$. Furthermore, in this case, when $m=1$ using the elliptic curves, we will show that this equation has only solution $(x,y,z)=(3, 2, 14)$ if $n=1$ and $(x,y,z)=(1,2,14)$ if $n=3$.
Dog owners’ perceptions and veterinary-related decisions pertaining to changes in their dog’s behavior that could indicate pain
Authors: Kogan Lori R. , Currin-McCulloch Jen , Brown Emma , Hellyer Peter
Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE

Assess dog owners’ concern levels and veterinary care decisions pertaining to behaviors that might signify pain before and after receiving brief pain-related educational information. Additionally, evaluate dog owners’ perceptions of a modified version of the Colorado State University Canine Acute Pain Scale to identify their dog’s pain level, determine whether they should take their dog to the veterinarian, and describe their dog’s pain to their veterinarian.

SAMPLE

367 survey respondents who resided in the US and were the primary caretaker of at least 1 dog.

METHODS

An electronic survey was created in Qualtrics and distributed via Prolific. Data were analyzed.

RESULTS

When assessing differences between participants’ concern levels before and after educational pain-related information, significant differences were found for 2 of the 3 scenarios. Significant differences were also found between participants’ veterinary-related behaviors before and after educational pain-related information for all 3 scenarios. The most common reasons for not seeking immediate veterinary care included elements related to cost, convenience, and dog-related stress during veterinary visits. Most participants reported finding the Canine Acute Pain Scale useful for identifying their dog’s pain level (89%), determining whether they should take their dog to the veterinarian (84%), and describing their dog’s pain to their veterinarian (89%).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Owners’ interpretations of and subsequent actions (or inactions) to behaviors that might suggest pain carry great implications for companion animals’ overall well-being. Following exposure to brief educational material about signs and symptoms of canine pain, owners in our study reported significant increases in stated concern related to their dog’s change in behavior and intention to seek veterinary care. These findings suggest that even very brief pain-related educational material can have a positive impact on owners’ perceptions of canine behavioral changes and increase the possibility that they will seek veterinary care.
Clinical applications of in vivo confocal microscopy enhance the detection and management of ocular surface disease in dogs and cats
Authors: Ledbetter Eric C.
Published: July 2024

In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a unique imaging technique that permits noninvasive evaluation of the ocular surface on the cellular level. High-resolution images of all layers of the cornea are obtained in real-time with IVCM, and the acquired images are often comparable to ex vivo histochemical analysis of corneal biopsy specimens. The basic morphological features of the healthy living cornea as viewed by IVCM are reported in many domestic animal species, and the number of published descriptions of ocular surface pathologies in companion animals is progressively expanding. There is great potential for IVCM to improve the detection, characterization, and management of diverse ocular surface diseases in companion animals. This review summarizes several established and emerging clinical applications of IVCM in companion animal ocular surface disease, including infectious keratitis, corneal foreign bodies, corneal dystrophies and degenerations, ocular surface masses, corneal endotheliitis, pigmentary keratitis, and evaluation of corneal nerves.

Published: July 2024

It was assumed that early antibiotic administration can slow down yolk sac resorption and decrease maternal antibody transfer and lysozyme levels in the yolk sac content and serum, thus disrupting the development of humoral immunity in turkeys. The experiment was conducted on female turkeys divided into following group: CON (control) – received no coccidiostat or antibiotics; MON – received monensin in the feed for 56 days; ENR and DOX – received enrofloxacin or doxycycline per os for the first 5 days of life. Additionally, half of the birds in each of this group were vaccinated against turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT), the disease caused by avian metapneumoviruses (aMPV) and Newcastle disease caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV) at the first day of life (IN), and against ornithobacteriosis caused by Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) at 28 days of life (SC). On days 1, 3 and 5 of the birds’ lives, yolk sacs were collected to assess their resorption. Yolk sac resorption was assessed by calculating yolk sac relative weight based on the measurement of the yolk sac mass and body weight of turkeys. On days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 56, blood was collected to assess anti-aMPV, anti-NDV, anti-ORT antibody titers and immunoglobulin and lysozyme levels. Early administration per os of ENR and DOX or feeding diets containing MON did not inhibit yolk sac resorption, but reduced levels of specific maternal anti-aMPV, anti-NDV and anti-ORT antibodies and IgY and IgM in the yolk sac. Enrofloxacin and doxycycline decreased the titers of anti-aMPV and anti-NDV antibodies and the level of maternal IgY and IgM in turkeys, which could be due to the direct effect exerted by antibiotics on maternal antibodies present in the circulatory system of poults and the inhibition of post-vaccination synthesis of specific antibodies. The administration of antibiotics in the early rearing period should only be implemented in situations of clearly confirmed disease states when the expected health benefits outweigh the risk of weakening immunity.

The purpose of this experiment was to assess the effects of the green macroalgae (Ulva intestinalis) on growth performance, immune parameters of serum and mucus, liver enzymes and the expression of genes related to growth (GH and IGF-1), and immunity (IL1-β and LYZ) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The test was carried out in eight weeks with the treatments supplemented with 0 (control), 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% macroalgae and three replications for each group. At the end of the course, growth indices, serum and mucus total protein, total immunoglobulin, lysozyme, and liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase were evaluated. Additionally, the expression of growth (GH and IGF-1) and immunity (IL1-β and LYZ) genes was evaluated using real-time PCR in the brain, liver, and intestine. Based on the results, a significant difference was observed in the levels of total protein, total immunoglobulin, and mucus lysozyme in the fish that received 1% U. intestinalis compared to the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the amount of total protein, total immunoglobulin, and lysozyme in the control group and the other treatments represented a significant difference (P<0.05). Although the initial weight did not show a significant difference among the treatments (P>0.05), the final growth parameters significantly varied in different treatments, with the highest final weight observed in fish fed with 0.25% algae (P<0.05). The results of the expression of immune genes lysozyme (LYZ) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) indicated a significant difference with the control group (P<0.05), representing an increasing pattern with the rising percentage of macroalgae (P<0.05). The supplement was also found effective in promoting the expression of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) compared to the control fish (P<0.05), revealing an increasing pattern for the IGF-1 gene with the elevated level of the supplement. In general, according to the results of the present study, U. intestinalis can be recommended in carp aquaculture, most preferably at the level of 1% of daily feed, as it could significantly enhance the growth and innate immunity of fish.

In this research, the effect copper on the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of nickel oxide thin films was studied at different copper concentrations. Thin transparent films of nickel oxide (NiO) doped with copper (Cu) were deposited on glass substrates at a temperature of 400 °C using the spray pyrolysis technique. The structural study showed that all the prepared polycrystalline films had a cubic structure with a preferential orientation along (111). Copper was well integrated into the host lattice without changing the structure. SEM images showed that the films were well adhered with a wrinkled network structure. The optical band gap ranges from 3.70 eV to 3.50 eV, and the Urbach energy, which ranges from 0.34 eV to 0.5 eV, has also been discussed. The highest conductivity value of 6.23 × 10⁻³ (Ω·cm)⁻¹ was found at a copper concentration of 2 %.

La cuenca del Río Atoyac atraviesa los municipios de Atoyac de Álvarez y Benito Juárez en el Estado de Guerrero, México. Desde el año 2000 existen evidencias de que sus aguas están contaminadas en las zonas más pobladas. Este trabajo tuvo por objetivo investigar la calidad del agua superficial en la zona alta, media y baja de la cuenca del Río Atoyac en Guerrero. La metodología incluyó 9 sitios de muestreo, para analizar 11 parámetros fisicoquímicos y 8 metales pesados, en seis momentos diferentes que abarcaron épocas de lluvia y estiaje. Los datos obtenidos se compararon con los criterios ecológicos de la calidad del agua y con los indicadores del semáforo de la calidad del agua. Para conocer las diferencias en la calidad del agua en las tres zonas de la cuenca, se realizó un análisis estadístico cuantitativo con diseño cuasi experimental, transversal y comparativo sobre la DBO5. Los resultados respecto a DBO5 y a los compuestos nitrogenados (N-NH3, N-NO2- y N-NO3-), demuestran que el agua del Río Atoyac Guerrero en la cuenca alta, media y baja no se considera apta como fuente de abastecimiento de agua potable, riego agrícola y protección de la vida acuática. Además, que la cuenca baja del Río Atoyac Guerrero, se encuentra contaminada por la presencia de Cd y Hg, lo cual puede constituir un problema para la salud pública, debido a las características tóxicas de los metales pesados.

Testicular microlithiasis (TM) is a condition characterized by calcium deposits within the seminiferous tubules of the testis. The clinical significance of TM remains unclear and poses a strategic challenge for clinicians. The natural course of TM is unknown, with the development of ultrasound technology. TM is defined as hyperechogenic foci in the testis parenchyma of varying degrees and diffusely spreading in the testis, often bilaterally, on ultrasound. The echogenic shadow typically seen in renal lithiasis or calcifications is absent in TM. This condition is usually discovered incidentally during ultrasonography of the scrotum. The prevalence of TM in asymptomatic males is estimated at about 5% (range between 1.1% and 10%). The incidence of TM ranges from 0.7% to 8.7% in children with potential risk factors for primary testicular tumors and 4.1% to 4.2% in asymptomatic children according to currently published papers. In this review, definition, prevelance, etiology, pathophysiology and evaluation of TM in childhood will be discussed. Keywords: testicular microlithiasis, children, management, treatment

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of low-intensity shock wave therapy (LI-SWT) in managing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and concomitant erectile dysfunction (ED). MATERIAL and METHODS: From January 2023 to August 2023, we retrospectively analyzed 100 patients aged over 50 years experiencing ED and LUTS for at least six months. The evaluation of LUTS utilized the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), comprising seven questions on total, voiding, and storage symptoms. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Demographic and clinical data were collected, and pre– and post-treatment values at two months were compared. RESULTS: The mean age and mean PSA were 57.82±4.30 years, 1.598±0.53 ng/mL respectively. The mean prostate volume and post-void residual volume were 48.03±9.19 cm3, 41.50±13.3 mL. Pre-treatment mean Qmax values were 11.60±1.98 mL/s, while at two months post-treatment, they were 11.79±1.95 mL/s (p=0.479). The mean IPSS decreased from 19.98±4.55 to 19.44±4.17 (p=0.015). Voiding subscores changed from 11.71±3.23 to 11.62±2.79 (p=0.603), and storage subscores from 8.27±3.25 to 7.82±2.76 (p=0.009). IPSS Quality of Life scores improved from 4.01±1.27 to 3.73±0.96 (p=0.005). IIEF scores increased from 20.41±2.45 to 21.04±2.22 (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Our study results suggest that LI-SWT may yield improvements in both the treatment of LUTS secondary to BPH and the treatment of mild-to-moderate vasculogenic ED.

OBJECTIVE: The study aims to evaluate sexual functions and levels of hopelessness in women diagnosed with urinary incontinence. MATERIAL and METHODS: The sample for this descriptive research consisted of 111 women admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a training and research hospital in the Black Sea region of Türkiye. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ-12), and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). RESULTS: Regarding sexual function, the emotional domain had the lowest score (5.39±4.19), followed by the partner-related domain (9.60±2.17), and the physical domain (17.12±3.28). The mean BHS score was 6.01±4.41. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the PISQ-12 emotional domain (r=-0.359, p=0.001), physical domain (r=-0.364, p=0.001), PISQ-12 total score (r=-0.499, p=0.001) and the BHS scores. Significant differences were found in women’s PISQ-12 total scores based on age, education, employment status, family type, medication use status, menopause, number of births, and experience of urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse (p<0.05). In addition, statistically significant differences were found in the mean BHS scores based on age, education, menopause status, number of childbirths, and experience of urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The emotional domain was the most affected domain of sexual function in women. Overall, their sexual functions were less impaired, and levels of hopelessness were generally below average, at a low level. As women’s levels of hopelessness increase, the impact of urinary incontinence on sexual activity in terms of emotional domain and physical domain increases, resulting in an overall deterioration in sexual functions.

For each keyword, 234 videos from the first 10 years and 107 pages were included in the research, in order of relevance. Twenty-five videos that met the research criteria were included in the review. RESULTS: 80.0% of the sample emphasize condom use, and 60.0% emphasize alcohol and drug use before sexual intercourse. Quality was determined as (GQS 2.9±1.0), DISCERN reliability score (3.4±1.1). It is seen that the average video duration, GQS and Discern scores of videos with good quality information content are numerically higher than those of videos with medium and poor quality information content. Still, there is no relationship between them (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: YouTube is a source of information about HIV/AIDS of variable quality, with a large audience and the potential to influence patients’ knowledge and behavior. Physicians, healthcare professionals, and professional organizations need to be aware of this evolving technology to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and empower patients to distinguish useful information from misleading information.

In the agricultural sector, Semboro District is the main source of orange producers in Jember Regency. The bulk of the people that live in the Semboro District are farmers, and they created this. The issue in Semboro District's Sidomulyo Village is that farmers haven't been able to make the most of their leftover orange crop. The agricultural industry can handle the remaining oranges. It is possible for this industry to handle oranges that are unfit for consumption. KKN students in Sidomulyo Village are attempting to process orange waste by offering outreach in managing orange waste in an effort to turn it into an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer. To ensure sustainable management of the organic matter, farmers and the Thematic KKN Team 13 collaborate to maximize the use of organic fertilizer. This orange trash trial revealed that adding stale rice to orange waste MOL activates trichoderma, allowing the MOL to be utilized as a pesticide and enhance soil structure.

Stunting is a condition where a person experiences chronic nutritional problems that arise as a result of a condition of malnutrition that lasts for quite a long time. One of the problems with knowledge about stunting prevention is through the role of parents. One way to increase knowledge is through health promotion, namely by providing education about stunting. The aim of this counseling is to increase parents' knowledge regarding stunting so that parents know how to prevent and overcome the problem of stunting. The method used is the outreach activity for parents of toddlers and pregnant mothers who carry out at Posyandu Mangga 110 Bangsalsari sub-district regarding the importance of monitoring children's growth and development by regularly checking them at the posyandu to see whether there is a risk of stunting in toddlers. Posyandu activities were carried out on March 10 2024 at Posyandu Mangga 110 Bangsalsari District. The results of this activity are increased knowledge and insight of parents about the importance of the role of parents in providing good nutrition as well as visits to posyandu to measure the height and weight of toddlers so they can monitor their children's growth and find out what signs and symptoms of stunting occur in toddlers and how to prevent it.

The vicinal diol derivatives of eugenol were synthesized using the following steps: esterification with acid anhydrides/pyridine, followed by oxidation with KMnO4 in a cold, dilute acetone/NaOH medium. The intermediate 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenyl acetate (EA) and the vicinal diol derivative 4-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenyl acetate (DIO) were synthesized with 97% and 43% yields, respectively. The byproduct of the EA oxidation reaction was identified as 4-acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (ALD). Synthetic substances were investigated for biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and α-glucosidase inhibition. The antioxidant activity of EA, ALD, and DIO was modest, with %RSA50 values exceeding 6666.67 µg/ml, 1174.53 µg/ml, and 59.47 µg/ml, respectively. Regarding antibacterial activity, EA exhibited antibacterial activity against MSSA (MIC = 256 µg/ml), and DIO could be active against Streptococcus pyogenes (MIC = 1024 µg/ml). While EA and DIO inhibited α-glucosidase with limited activity (at a screening concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, inhibition levels were 12.19 ± 6.83% and 43.98 ± 2.34%, respectively), ALD showed potential (with an IC50 of 0.27 mg/ml). Research indicates that eugenol derivatives have potential as antibacterials and α-glucosidase inhibitors.

DEVOÇÃO E POLÍTICA
Authors: Chaves José Afonso , Cabral Newton Darwin de Andrade , Souza Valdemir de França
Published: July 2024

Este artigo discute a instrumentalização de narrativas históricas, no âmbito do Terceiro Congresso Eucarístico Nacional, realizado no Recife-PE, no ano de 1939, para arregimentar massas em torno da devoção eucarística. Tomando como ponto de partida o próprio tema do evento, a letra do hino e materiais impressos, além de palestras, demonstramos a preocupação institucional da Igreja em manter-se hegemônica, mesmo em tempos de estado laico, e a importância de, naquele contexto, alimentar o senso comum de que a formação do Brasil enquanto nação está amplamente ligada à fé católica, omitindo, portanto, a importância dos povos originários e africanos para a formação do Brasil.
ENTRE LÁGRIMAS E VOTOS, VITÓRIA CONTRA O “IMPÉRIO INFERNAL”
Authors: Freitas da Silva Emanuel , Sena Emerson
Published: July 2024

A figura e as devoções marianas são, no Catolicismo, absolutamente centrais. Da mãe judia à rainha dos céus e da terra, a Virgem Maria é um caleidoscópio simbólico. No entanto, em determinados momentos históricos, sua imagem assume contornos políticos extremados. Há uma virgem libertadora, uma virgem carismática e popular ou uma virgem politicamente reacionária. Nesse sentido, se guia a questão deste artigo: de que modo uma certa devoção mariana – Nossa Senhora das Lágrimas - foi insistentemente mobilizada pelos carismáticos católicos reacionários durante as eleições presidenciais de 2022 para legitimarem sua oposição a uma das candidaturas e se posicionarem no espectro político? Como hipótese qualitativa, argumentamos que há uma afinidade eletiva entre as afeições sociais de frustração e ressentimento vividas entre os carismáticos e a imagem da virgem lacrimosa, mas soberana, que comandaria, em sua crença, os “exércitos” a “esmagar a serpente do grande inimigo” imaginário, ou seja, o “comunismo” cujo representante seria o “petismo” ou a “esquerda”. Como metodologia, elegemos a abordagem qualitativa, com revisão bibliográfica parcial e análise de imagens e textos que circularam entre políticos e líderes carismáticos em suas redes sociais.
RELIGIÃO PÚBLICA, NOVOS VÍNCULOS, NOVAS “ARMAS”
Authors: Bivar Carneiro Campos Roberta
Published: July 2024

Este trabalho pretende explorar o vínculo entre religião e cultura, suas contestações e transbordamentos. O interesse pela discussão deriva de pesquisas anteriores que resultaram em várias produções (artigos, orientações de doutorado e mestrado, projetos de iniciação científica e TCCs, que por sua vez estão associados a projetos de bolsa produtividade em pesquisa CNPQ anteriores. A temática é, portanto, relativa às discussões sobre secularismos, religião e esfera pública. Tratarei na presente proposta sobre a inabilidade, declarada pelos estudiosos do tema, da religião evangélica relacionar-se com a cultura e, por conseguinte, não fazer parte de um repertório cultural “genuinamente” nacional; como também a relação entre evangélicos e vanguarda artística. E como essas associações articulam, com sucesso ou não, projetos de integração nacional.
VENCENDO A UTOPIA DOS RATOS COM A LIBERDADE DO ESPÍRITO DA LOGOTERAPIA DE VIKTOR FRANKL
Authors: Da Cunha Falcão Sérgio , Batista de Souza José Tadeu , Patrício de Andrade Falcão Raphael
Published: July 2024

Buscou-se examinar as similaridades entre as observações de dois teóricos com bases epistemológicas distintas, John Bumpass Calhoun e Viktor Emil Frankl. O primeiro desenvolveu experimentos peculiares com ratos e verificou um processo de morte do “espírito” desses animais; o segundo, enxergou uma morte parecida nos campos de concentração nazistas e diagnosticou o mal do século como o vazio existencial. Uma revisão das principais obras de Frankl foi realizada com o fim de apresentar uma reflexão sobre um dos experimentos principais de Calhoun, o Universo 25. Concluiu-se que, dentre os fenômenos sociais identificados como possíveis promotores do mal-estar no homem pós-moderno, podem ser citados: o excesso de densidade nas grandes cidades, a ruptura com a tradição, a fragilização das relações familiares, a forte concorrência no mercado de trabalho e a influência de ideologias radicais. Embora existam semelhanças entre os aspectos observados com os roedores e o rumo que o homem parece estar se direcionando, em última instância, seres humanos não estão deterministicamente submetidos a esses comportamentos, senão mais sujeitos a agir conforme os instintos quando deprimidos pela falta de sentido.

Background:

Deep brain stimulation of the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM-DBS) is considered a safe and effective treatment for medically intractable essential tremor (ET). However, ventriculomegaly can provide a surgical challenge, as there is an increased risk of breaching the ventricle during the procedure, with potential risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and target displacement.

Case Description:

In this case series, we report successful bilateral VIM-DBS in a 72-year-old and 69-year-old female ET patient with significant ventriculomegaly. VIM-DBS therapy provided an excellent tremor response. After 5 years, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was implanted in the first patient due to an incomplete Hakim-Adams triad, with significant improvement in gait and cognition.

Conclusion:

To the best of our knowledge, we present the first report on VIM-DBS in ET patients with ventriculomegaly and illustrate that VIM-DBS can provide an excellent tremor response in patients with medically intractable ET, even in the context of marked ventriculomegaly.
Infectious Confidence: Unraveling the Effects of Confidence Contagion on Overfunding in Equity Crowdfunding

Published: July 2024

Equity crowdfunding campaign overfunding occurs when a campaign generates funds in excess of the funding goal and has hence been touted as the mark of an extraordinarily successful campaign. However, a novel theoretical lens is needed to comprehend funders’ enthusiasm in their support of such campaigns. Building on the extant literature on contagion effect, we constructed a research model that posits confidence contagion invoked by confidence cues embedded in campaign materials as a key driver of overfunding. Our hypotheses were validated in two complementary empirical studies. In Study 1, we manipulated confidence cues in a controlled experiment to verify the activation of confidence contagion at the individual level. Analytical results indicate that individual funders detect self-confidence traits from confidence cues embedded in campaign materials and assimilate the fundraiser’s confidence via a spontaneous social appraisal mechanism. In turn, confidence contagion drives funders to congregate and invest in campaigns. In Study 2, we analyzed a secondary dataset collected from a leading equity crowdfunding platform to discern how confidence contagion drives overfunding at the collective level. By modeling funding activities as a Hawkes process, we derived three key metrics that govern the emergence and magnitude of funding surges. We demonstrated that these metrics of funding surges mediate the impact of confidence cues on the level of overfunding for equity crowdfunding campaigns. The findings from this study could inform future research seeking to untangle the interdependencies between individual and collective mechanisms underlying crowd phenomena, provide strategic guidance to fundraisers interested in promoting the overfunding of their campaigns, and help crowdfunding platforms predict the potential extent of overfunding and advise fundraisers accordingly.
