The Mediating Effect of Learning Goal Orientation and the Moderating Effect of Gender on the Relationship Between Corporate Entrepreneurship and Affective Organizational Commitment
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Park Jiyoung , Park Jaechun
Published: December 2024

This study empirically analyzes the impact of corporate entrepreneurship on employees' affective organizational commitment, using a sample of 212 manufacturing workers in China. The results indicate that corporate entrepreneurship positively influences the enhancement of affective organizational commitment, with learning goal orientation playing a partial mediating role. Additionally, gender serves as a significant moderating variable in the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and affective organizational commitment, with the effect being more pronounced among male employees. Specifically, when males exhibit higher levels of corporate entrepreneurship, their affective organizational commitment tends to increase more significantly. These findings suggest that organizational practitioners should consider gender differences when designing programs to foster corporate entrepreneurship and emphasize the importance of creating an inclusive organizational environment where both men and women can actively engage in entrepreneurial behaviors. This could be a key strategy for enhancing organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Furthermore, the study highlights that reinforcing learning goal orientation can improve employee engagement and performance, providing policymakers with a foundation to develop supportive policies accordingly.
An Empirical Study of the Factors Influencing the Intention to Use Insurance Coverage Analysis Services Based on Insurtech
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Do Sangin , Ha Kyusoo
Published: December 2024

Insurtech leverages emerging digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence(AI), Big Data Analytics, Blockchain, and the Internet of Things(IoT) to transform the traditional insurance industry's value chain into a digital-based system. These technologies are applied across all insurance processes, including sales, underwriting, policy management, customer service, and claims, offering insurance consumers a new digital service experience while enhancing convenience and efficiency.
This study focuses on the utilization intention of insurance consumers regarding Insurtech-based insurance coverage analysis services, which allow them to analyze and verify their insurance coverage. The research model is based on the Value-based Adoption Model(VAM), which posits that consumers consider both benefit factors and sacrifice factors when adopting new technologies. The model was designed to reflect the specific characteristics of insurance information. To validate this model, a survey was conducted with insurance consumers who had experienced digital-based Insurtech insurance coverage analysis services, with 213 valid responses used for the analysis.
The results of the study show that information quality, usefulness, technical quality, and perceived risk influence the intention to use Insurtech insurance coverage analysis services. Additionally, benefit factors were found to have a greater impact than sacrifice factors, and perceived value was found to partially mediate the relationship between these factors and usage intention. Based on these findings, both academic implications and practical implications for Insurtech service providers are discussed.

Authors: Li Fenge , Wang Yupeng , Jin Mengli , Li Hongli , Yan Jin , Hu Jiandong , Zhang Xianfeng , Wu Chunwa , Wei Luqing
Published: December 2024

Introduction

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has posed a severe threat to human health since December 2019. Immune characteristics and clinical symptoms manifested by COVID-19 patients of the most recent new strains have not been reported.

Material and methods

We retrospectively investigated 450 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection from December 2022 to January 2023. Clinical information and peripheral blood of the patients were obtained and analyzed for serum IL-6 levels and T cell sub-types. Post hoc analysis was performed to uncover immunological and involved COVID-19-associated pneumonia differences between patients with different underlying diseases and ages.

Results

The median age of the patients was 75.5 years old. 60% of the patients were male and 40% were female. The most common symptoms were cough (344/450,76.4%), fever (317/450, 70.4%), expectoration (199/450, 44.2%) and wheeze (143/450, 31.8%). The mean hospital stay was 11.85 days (range: 1–57). 92% of the patients recovered in a month. The level of serum IL-6 was significantly higher in patients without underlying diseases compared with patients with hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer and diabetes (p < 0.001). Serum IL-6 level was significantly higher in patients who were 66–79 years old than that in patients aged 65 years and younger (p < 0.001). Peripheral CD8+T cell percentage was significantly higher in patients aged 65 years and younger than that in patients aged 80 years and older (p = 0.05). The mean involved ground-glass opacity area of the lung of all studied patients found by chest computed tomography (CT) at the time of initial onset of symptoms was 35.7%. Fifty-seven out of 132 (43.2%) patients who had assessable CT scans at 4–12 weeks after infection completely recovered with no chest CT abnormality. Involved ground-glass area of the lung of patients with diabetes or without underlying disease was significantly more severe than that in patients with COPD (p = 0.041 and p = 0.017, respectively). Involved ground-glass area of the lung of patients aged 80 years and older was significantly more severe than that in patients aged 65 years and younger (p = 0.031).

Conclusions

92% of COVID-19 patients infected with Omicron XBB sub-variants of SARS-CoV-2 can recover well in a month. Patients aged 80 years and older who have a lower lymphocyte percentage experienced more severe pneumonia than patients aged 65 years and younger having a higher lymphocyte percentage. Serum IL-6 level can be a recovery indicator for patients with COVID-19 infection.
The effect of cheese intake on osteoarthritis: a Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Wen Song , Huang Zehan , Zhang Bin , Huang Yuqing
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating chronic disease with a high prevalence, characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage that leads to joint dysfunction, pain, and disability. Observational studies investigating the link between cheese intake and OA have yielded inconclusive results and may be susceptible to confounding.

Material and methods

We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) investigation to evaluate the causal association between cheese intake and OA based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The primary analysis employed the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, while complementary analyses were conducted using the weighted median, MR-Egger, and weighted mode methods. Moreover, we weighted each single nucleotide polymorphism’s (SNP) effect on OA by its effect on cheese intake and subsequently meta-analyzed these estimates utilizing a fixed-effects model to provide a summary effect estimate. To assess the robustness of the outcomes, we performed a sensitivity analysis.

Results

Our two-sample MR analysis revealed an inverse causal relationship between cheese intake and several types of OA, including self-reported OA (odds ratio (OR) = 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.94–0.97, p = 6.70 × 10–7), OA of the hip or knee (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.48–0.72, p = 1.38 × 10–7), knee OA (OR = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.42–0.66, p = 4.11 × 10–8), and hip OA (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.53–0.96, p = 0.0268). Additionally, the fixed-effects model also demonstrated a causal inverse association between cheese intake and OA, with a pooled meta-analysis OR of 0.95 (95% CI = 0.94–0.97, p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Our findings provided compelling genetic evidence of causal inverse associations between cheese intake and various types of OA, including self-reported OA, OA of the hip or knee, knee OA, and hip OA, which may enhance the efficacy of OA prevention by deepening our comprehension of the involved risk factors.
Causal associations of circulating inflammatory proteins with sepsis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Ji Dandan , Ma Jiawei , Ma Jing , Wu Jia
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Sepsis arises from dysregulated inflammation in response to infection, precipitating organ dysfunction. Circulating inflammatory mediators likely contribute to sepsis pathogenesis, but their precise roles remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate potential causal impacts of inflammatory proteins on sepsis risk.

Material and methods

We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization study evaluating causal associations for 91 inflammatory proteins with sepsis risk. Genetic instruments were derived from a published genome-wide association study of plasma proteins. Sepsis outcome data were obtained from the UK Biobank and FinnGen cohort. Inverse-variance weighted analysis was conducted along with several sensitivity analyses.

Results

The analyses identified significant causal associations for several inflammatory proteins with sepsis risk. TRAIL exhibited a causal effect on increased overall sepsis risk (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.03–1.17). CCL28 showed a causal link to higher 28-day sepsis mortality in critical care (OR = 3.32, 95% CI: 1.18–9.29). CCL4 demonstrated a causal association with increased 28-day sepsis mortality (OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.06–1.31). Meanwhile, beta-NGF was found to be causally protective for sepsis (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.60–0.99), and TNFB also showed a causally protective effect (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91–1.00).

Conclusions

Our study elucidates roles of inflammatory mediators in sepsis pathogenesis. The identified proteins may serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. TRAIL signaling inhibition may hold promise for future clinical translation given its causal links to increased sepsis risk and mortality. CCL28 and CCL4 also represent potential immunological drivers of sepsis mortality worthy of further investigation. Meanwhile, the neurotrophins beta-NGF and TNFB emerged as having protective effects in sepsis that could be therapeutically augmented. Further experimental validation is warranted to confirm the observed causal relationships. Our findings provide targets for future mechanistic and clinical examination to impact patient prognosis.
Identifying core genes in sepsis by LASSO regression and SVM-RFE algorithm
Authors: Luo Linlin , Yu Jie
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Sepsis is a major disease in intensive care units (ICU), with high morbidity and mortality. However, the core genes associated with the sepsis diagnosis remain unclear.

Material and methods

By merging five datasets, gene expression profiles were obtained: GSE28750, GSE57065, GSE64457, GSE65682 and GSE95233. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Limma package in R. To examine the enriched functions, both Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) were employed. Subsequently, the protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed, and module analysis was carried out using STRING and Cytoscape. Furthermore, core genes were identified using support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model. To verify the diagnostic significance of these essential genes, we conducted an analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).

Results

We analyzed 230 DEGs, consisting of 183 upregulated DEGs and 47 downregulated DEGs. The GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the DEGs were enriched in immune-related pathways and functions. The DEGs formed a PPI network consisting of 180 protein nodes and 351 interaction edges. Ultimately, we identified the five critical core genes (C3AR1, CHPT1, RAB32, SLC22A4, and SRPK1) common between both algorithms. The analysis of the ROC curve demonstrated that the AUC values for the five fundamental genes were as follows: 0.881, 0.876, 0.946, 0.927, and 0.931, respectively.

Conclusions

The five core genes screened in this study will help us to interpret the underlying molecular mechanism of sepsis and hopefully become potential diagnostic targets.

Published: December 2024

Das Vorhandensein von Lärm ist ein entscheidender Faktor, der die physische und mentale Gesundheit in unserer modernen Gesellschaft beeinträchtigt und von der WHO als eine der wesentlichen Umweltbelastungen in der europäischen Region aufgeführt wird. Um akustische Auswirkungen auf den Menschen zu verringern, werden u.a. offenporige Schallabsorber-Panele eingesetzt. Diese Platten wandeln die Energie von Schallwellen durch Reibungseffekte in Wärme um. Als Reaktion auf die Marktnachfrage nach vollständig biobasierten Alternativen zielt die vorliegende Untersuchung darauf ab, ein akustisch wirksames, formgepresstes Bauteil aus einem viskosebasierten Vliesstoff zu entwickeln. Erste Untersuchungen zur Entwicklung der Formulierung und zur Parametrisierung der Herstellung von Vliesstoff-Halbzeugen wurden durchgeführt. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen lag auf der Bewertung relevanter Halbzeug- und Bauteileigenschaften, insbesondere der charakteristischen Vliesstoffeigenschaften und Verarbeitungsparameter (Formpressprozess) sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die akustischen Eigenschaften der Halbzeuge und Demonstrator-Bauteile. Um eine industrielle Umsetzung zu erleichtern, wurde eine fertigungsgerechte Produktionstechnologie entwickelt.

Authors: Abasi Cyprian Y. , Markmanuel Douye P. , Benson Oguarabau
Published: December 2024

The use of Bush cane (Costus afer) stem fibre as a filler in low density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix was studied at filler sizes (FS) of 150, 300, 600 and 2000 μm. The study utilized NaOH-treated and untreated samples obtained by melt-mixing to test for the mechanical properties of the composite. The composites were tested for tensile strength, flexural strength and hardness with respect to variations of component weight ratio and filler sizes. The study was carried out at 20 – 50% filler weight (FW) ratio. Tensile strength for the treated and untreated samples increased to maximum filler size at 18.52 and 15.93 N/m2 respectively. Percent enhancement of tensile strength in treated samples by filler size was 17.22% on average from 150 to 2000 μm and by filler weight on average was 20.4% from 20 – 50%. Experimental flexural strength increased with increase in filler size from 126.8 to 161.72 MPa for the treated samples and 125.33 to 132.49 MPa for the untreated samples at 150 and 2000 μm respectively. Calculated flexural strength increased from 650 MPa at 20 % FW and 150 FS to a maximum of 1768 MPa at 50% FW and 2000 FS for the treated samples, while that for the untreated samples was 531 MPa at 20% FW and 150 FS to 1323 MPa at 50% FW and 2000 μm FS. Calculated hardness decreased with filler size, while experimental hardness increased with filler size to a maximum. Treated composites showed better mechanical properties than the untreated indicating that the treatment or modification offers improvement of mechanical properties.
Isocratic liquid chromatography technique for the analysis of cyanocobalamin from beef liver and heart muscle extracts
Authors: Ibrahim Labaran
Published: December 2024

Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is among the most widely recommended techniques for analyzing water-soluble vitamins such as vitamins C and B-complexes. The research study was conducted to detect and quantify cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) from the beef liver and heart muscle extracts using a validated isocratic RP-HPLC procedure. The analytical column was Luna® Phenomenex 5 µm C18 (2) 100 A LC-column (150 × 4.6 mm). The mobile phase consisted of water/ethanol in a ratio of 60:40 (v/v). An enzymatic digestion with 1% potassium cyanide was used for samples (beef liver and heart muscle) extraction. The validated method showed to be linear, R = 0.9977; fast, with a retention time of less than 6.00 min; precise, %RSD of 1.16 and 1.74%; and sensitive, with limits of detection and quantification of 0.00033 and 0.00100 µg/mL. The detected values of cyanocobalamin from the beef liver (BLV) and heart muscle (HRM) extracts were 52.04 ± 0.13 and 42.04 ± 0.29 µg/mL, respectively. BLV extract indicated a higher level of cyanocobalamin. Hence, the validated isocratic RP-HPLC technique can be recommended to analyze cyanocobalamin and related compounds in research laboratories such as diagnostics, foods, and pharmaceuticals.

Questo saggio intende approfondire il nesso tra interiorità cristiana e dottrina della “nuova creazione” nella riflessione antropologica di Romano Guardini. In primo luogo, saranno ripercorse le modalità con cui Guardini definisce l’interiorità cristiana. Secondo Guardini, l’interiorità cristiana in senso pieno è quella creata da Dio nell’uomo. È Dio stesso, infatti, a creare la profondità interiore in cui viene ad abitare. Quando Dio viene presso il credente è l’intimità di Dio che viene all’uomo: pertanto, l’interiorità più intima dell’uomo è Dio stesso. A seguire viene analizzata l’idea di “nuova creazione”. L’esistenza del cristiano si fonda secondo Guardini su una lotta con sé stessi, ma nel tramonto della vecchia condizione della creazione prende forma il “nuovo”. Punto di avvio di quest’opera di recreatio è l’Incarnazione di Gesù Cristo, il quale rappresenta un inizio assoluto: tutto in Cristo trova spazio per essere modificato e trasfigurato. Accettando che in se stessi si vive “in Dio” si diviene davvero se stessi, sostiene Guardini: l’uomo diventa persona solo nell’elemento pneumatico e nella fede, ovvero a partire dalla grazia e dall’in-esistere nel figlio di Dio, nella reciproca compenetrazione tra sé e il Figlio.
La respectividad mística
Authors: Cornejo Ojeda Juan Patricio
Published: December 2024

El artículo muestra que, a partir de la clave filosófica de la respectividad, cierto evento que acontece en un místico, y que, converge, razonablemente, con otro evento relatado por otro místico, se podría examinar en el amplio sentido de la apertura religada, concretamente, en la respectividad mística, que es lo que este trabajo postula. Para ello, se abordan tres aspectos: 1. El “sentir espiritual”. 2. La apertura religada. 3. La respectividad mística.
La antropología de Edith Stein, fundamento de una pedagogía integral
Authors: Gomez Gabriela Alicia , Urbina Valor Laura Noemí
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo se centra en los aportes realizados por Edith Stein - Santa Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz (1891-1942), a partir de su concepción de la persona y su vínculo intrínseco con el acto educativo, humanismo que inspira una educación integral. Según la filósofa de Breslau, toda práctica educativa se basa en una “imagen global del mundo”, lo que implica que toda pedagogía tiene un fundamento metafísico; constituyendo la idea de “hombre” el centro del saber pedagógico y de la práctica educativa, porque tiene que responder a la pregunta por el sentido de ser humano y a una idea de personalidad que está en constante evolución. La persona por esa libertad que le es propia puede autoconfigurarse, con relativa independencia de sus condiciones ambientales, ya que no existe una concatenación mecánica causalista para explicar el comportamiento humano. Para Stein, la educación es entendida como un proceso libre, donde razón y afectividad son una sola cosa; donde la espiritualidad del acto pedagógico se deriva de la naturaleza espiritual del hombre. La antropología steiniana nos permite delinear una pedagogía integral, orientada hacia el desarrollo de un humanismo anclado en el presente.
María Zambrano, una filósofa de la maternidad
Authors: Moretti Manuela
Published: December 2024

El intento de este trabajo es mostrar que es posible referirse al pensamiento de María Zambrano como a una “filosofía de la maternidad”. Frente a toda una tradición filosófica que ha reconocido la muerte como el rasgo distintivo del ser humano, la filósofa no sólo desplaza su atención hacia la otra condición ontológica del ser humano –su ser “natal” y no, sólo, “mortal”– sino que también muestra cómo este cambio de paradigma permite sacar a la luz un pensamiento auténticamente generativo. Un ejercicio de coherencia con la realidad misma que permite al hombre volver a pensar desde la experiencia, a partir de las entrañas, término imprescindible del pensamiento de Zambrano que indica la realidad generativa y materna: se trata de una forma de inteligencia propia de la acción de la sensibilidad misma que actúa desde adentro y que indica, a la vez, fidelidad a la realidad y abertura hacia lo otro. Un pensamiento fecundo y femenino, el que se intentará esbozar aquí, cuya autenticidad hay que buscar en ese vínculo con la realidad que no excluye la trascendencia, y que nos permite reconocernos, ante todo, como criaturas.
Mirar que me mira. Un análisis filosófico del cruce de miradas
Authors: Villarroig Martín Jaime
Published: December 2024

El trabajo se propone realizar un análisis filosófico sobre el cruce de miradas. Para ello aborda la experiencia del cruce de miradas con el animal, con el prójimo y con Dios. El ser humano cruza su mirada con la mirada del animal y descubre en ella algo que le dificulta poseerlo completamente al modo como poseemos objetos. En el cruce de miradas con el prójimo se evidencia que no podemos descubrir al otro por analogía con mi propio yo. Si nos circunscribimos al fenómeno del cruce de miradas, éstas no expresan sentimientos, pero descubren a una interioridad que está frente a mí. Pero sobre todo el cruce de miradas descubre la mutua co-presencia de dos interioridades (yo para ti y tú para mí). Se intenta una clasificación tentativa de grados de co-presencia, hasta alcanzar el cruce de miradas gracias al cual uno está para el otro, lo saben, y saben que el otro lo sabe. Todo esto es el presupuesto para comprender mejor el cruce de miradas con Dios del que los místicos hablan.
El difícil conocimiento de sí mismo: Reflexiones en torno a un texto de Brentano
Authors: García Norro Juan José
Published: December 2024

El presente texto pretende revisar el privilegio del conocimiento de sí tal como lo ha entendido la filosofía de la reflexión desde Descartes. Tomando a Brentano y su clásica distinción entre fenómeno físico y fenómeno psíquico como hilo conductor, nos adentramos en la cuestión, tan asumida desde la filosofía de la reflexión, del supuesto privilegio del conocimiento de sí mismo como inmediato, evidente e infalible. Precisamente un atento examen muestra que lo mentado y el mentar no difieren precisamente en ello y que la tentación idealista sin embargo tampoco es correcta. Se concluye, a partir de la intencionalidad y del modo primario en que el objeto intencional se nos da, que la distinción entre lo dado y lo supuestamente dado sigue siendo una tarea no exenta de errores por la profundidad de lo real, pero que, como muestran los filósofos realistas, son superables.
Los tipos de interioridad emocional: la razón afectiva
Authors: Fernández Beites Pilar
Published: December 2024

En este ensayo se estudia la interioridad afectiva de la persona y se propone una clasificación de las vivencias afectivas, partiendo de las teorías fenomenológicas de E. Husserl, M. Scheler y D. v. Hildebrand. En dicha clasificación se distingue el percibir afectivo (Fühlen, Wertnehmen) de las respuestas afectivas (correctas eincorrectas) y de las meras emociones. El percibir afectivo posee una intencionalidad primaria o “de partida”, las respuestas afectivas sólo poseen una intencionalidad secundaria o de respuesta, y las meras emociones son vivencias no intencionales. Además, el amor se describe como una afectividad supra-intencional, que permite el despliegue de la intencionalidad afectiva. Estas distinciones fenomenológicas se aplican en ámbitos prácticos decisivos, como la ética, la educación, la psicología o la psiquiatría.

TÜRK DIŞ POLİTİKASININ DOĞU AKDENİZ YAKLAŞIMI: KUZEY KIBRIS TÜRK CUMHURİYETİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Ulus Sümeyra
Published: December 2024

Türkiye'nin Doğu Akdeniz bölgesindeki dış politikası, özellikle Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti ile ilgili olarak, uluslararası ilişkilerde önemli bir ilgi ve tartışma konusu olmaktadır. Türkiye'nin Doğu Akdeniz'deki dış politikası uzun süredir tarihi, stratejik ve siyasi mülahazalarla şekillenmektedir. Bu politikanın merkezinde, yalnızca Türkiye tarafından tanınan ve kendini devlet ilan eden Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti bulunmaktadır. Türkiye'nin 1974'te Kıbrıs'a askerî harekât düzenlemesinin ardından 1983'te Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nin kurulması, Türkiye'nin bölgedeki stratejik çıkarları açısından bir dönüm noktası yaratmıştır. Türkiye'nin Akdeniz enerji kaynaklarına erişim ve bölgesel güvenlik kaygıları da dahil olmak üzere Doğu Akdeniz'deki stratejik çıkarları, Kuzey Kıbrıs’a olan sarsılmaz desteğini etkilemiştir. Yıllar geçtikçe, Türkiye'nin Kuzey Kıbrıs’a yönelik dış politikası, tamamen askeri bir müdahaleden çıkarak devletin meşruiyetini ve istikrarını güçlendirmeyi amaçlayan daha diplomatik ve ekonomik bir angajman stratejisine doğru evrildi. Bu makale, Doğu Akdeniz'deki Türk dış politikasının tarihsel bağlamını inceleyecek, Türk tarafının yaklaşımını analiz edecek ve bu yaklaşımın bölgesel dinamikler üzerindeki yansımalarını değerlendirecektir.

Temporal increase in migratoriness and increasing male bias among residents in partially migrating Swedish sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus
Authors: Otterbeck Andreas , Lindén Andreas
Published: December 2024

Partial migrants have populations consisting of both migratory and resident individuals. These migrants and residents experience unequal ecological conditions during winter and the underlying factors driving their decision to stay on their breeding grounds or to migrate remain debated—both from the viewpoint of populations and individuals. Here, we studied partial migration in a small raptor, the Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), from two different but interconnected perspectives: 1) explaining the patterns and variation in the ratio of migrants to residents (migratoriness) at the population level and 2) revealing how age and sex may affect the individual decision to be migratory or resident. We used citizen observation data over four decades to explore the temporal and spatial variation in the age and sex ratio of wintering resident sparrowhawks in Sweden. We found that the migratoriness unexpectedly increased with higher annual temperatures and showed long-term trend across the study period. Also, this migrant-to-resident ratio increased with smaller winter prey abundance. The average winter sex ratio was male-biased and became increasingly so over the years. We suggest that residency benefits territory-establishing males as early presence gives a competitive advantage in obtaining high-quality territories. Moreover, the distribution of overwintering individuals (regardless of sex) moved gradually northwards as the winter progressed, suggesting that smaller-scale migration occurs among the resident fraction of the population. These results provide suggestions for the underlying drivers and regulation of partial migration.
