Disclosing anti-money launderers through CSR regulation – a new way to combat money laundering
Authors: Rose Kalle Johannes 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
Recent research questions the innocence of companies outside the current EU money laundering regulation in terms of contributing to the externality problem of money laundering. The purpose of this paper is to examine how including anti-money laundering as an element of the EU corporate social responsibilities (CSR) directive can contribute to solving the externality problem of money laundering. Based on the principles of CSR and the economic effects of disclosure duties, this paper analyzes the implications an introduction of anti-money laundering policies and disclosure duties can have on corporate clients and the combatting against money laundering. Furthermore, it is the intention of this paper to argue how such a regulatory change can help the financial companies dividing “good” and “bad” clients to prevent money laundering from happening.

Design/methodology/approach
The method of this paper is a functional approach to law and economics. It seeks to enhance the efficiency of the regulatory framework combatting money laundering by including economic incentive theory.

Findings
Based on the regulatory framework of the fourth anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing directive and the directive on criminalizing money laundering, this paper argues that inclusion of anti-money laundering in the EU CSR directive will contribute to solving the externality problem of money laundering in the EU. Additionally, the expansion of the regulatory framework can start a culture, where corporate clients to the financial sector will take active steps toward combatting money laundering.

Originality/value
The paper identifies a way to change the corporate perception of anti-money laundering prevention from having an incentive of minimal compliance/“race-to-the-bottom” to be a possible element of competition between companies through their CSR strategy. While most research focuses on the financial sector in terms of money laundering, this paper takes the next step and includes corporate clients in the financial sector.

Purpose
This paper aims to categorise the approaches to knowledge management (KM) by companies. In the literature, there is no consensus on a universal or “best” approach to KM. Especially, this paper singles out and discusses the variegated features that characterise the implementation of KM by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) having different characteristics.

Design/methodology/approach
A cluster analysis was used to detect the possible distinct traits of companies that have different approaches to KM. The unit of analysis is represented by small- and medium-sized knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) firms. Data were collected by means of an extensive survey of 223 companies in different European countries and sectors.

Findings
Three clusters were identified: Companies showing a relative “unconscious” attention to KM and implementing KM practices without particular awareness; Companies adopting a more conscious approach and using a significant number of KM practices; and companies with a marginal propensity towards KM.

Research limitations/implications
This study considers only KIBS, and future research should include other economic sectors. In addition, a convenience sample was used.

Practical implications
This paper improves awareness of managers of small companies concerning different KM approaches that can be adopted. It highlights that a conscious adoption of a KM strategy involves the introduction of a set of consistent practices.

Originality/value
The topic of KM approaches by small companies is still underdeveloped in the literature. Also, the paper proposes a multi-contextual investigation that makes it possible to highlight the transversality of KM approaches across different countries or sectors.

Abstract

The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world‐wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator‐dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key native pollinator species affects crop production and farmer's profits.

By experimentally manipulating the presence of colonies of a native bumblebee species Bombus pauloensis in eight apple orchards in South Argentina, we evaluated the impact of losing natural populations of a key native pollinator group on (a) crop yield, (b) pollination quality, and (c) farmer's profit. To do so, we performed a factorial experiment of pollinator exclusion (yes/no) and hand pollination (yes/no).

Our results showed that biotic pollination increased ripe fruit set by 13% when compared to non‐biotic pollination. Additionally, fruit set and the number of fruits per apple tree was reduced by less than a half in those orchards where bumblebees were absent, even when honeybees were present at high densities. Consequently, farmer's profit was 2.4‐fold lower in farms lacking bumblebees than in farms hosting both pollinator species. The pollination experiment further suggested that the benefits of bumblebees could be mediated by improved pollen quality rather than quantity.

Synthesis and applications. This study highlights the pervasive consequences of losing key pollinator functional groups, such as bumblebees, for apple production and local economies. Adopting pollinator‐friendly practices such as minimizing the use of synthetic inputs or restoring/maintaining semi‐natural habitats at farm and landscape scales, will have the double advantage of promoting biodiversity conservation, and increasing crop productivity and profitability for local farmers. Yet because the implementation of these practices can take time to deliver results, the management of native pollinator species can be a provisional complementary strategy to increase economic profitability of apple growers in the short term.
Perinatal taurine exerts a hypotensive effect in male spontaneously hypertensive rats and down‐regulates endothelial oxide nitric synthase in the aortic arch

Published: January 2020

AbstractEssential hypertension is considered to be a result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, including perinatal factors. Different advantageous perinatal factors proved to have beneficial long‐lasting effects against an abnormal genetic background. Taurine is a ubiquitous sulphur‐containing amino acid present in foods such as seafood. The antihypertensive effects of taurine have been reported in experimental studies and in human hypertension. We aimed to investigate the effects of perinatal treatment with taurine in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), a known model of genetic hypertension. Female SHR were administered with taurine (3 g/L) during gestation and lactation (SHR‐TAU). Untreated SHR and Wistar‐Kyoto rats (WKY) were used as controls. Long‐lasting effects in offspring were investigated. Addition of taurine to the mother's drinking water reduced blood pressure in adult offspring. No differences were observed in cardiac hypertrophy. Findings on morphometric evaluations suggest that perinatal treatment with taurine would be partially effective in improving structural alterations of the aorta. Modifications in gene expression of Bcl‐2 family members and upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the aorta of 22‐week‐old male offspring were found. No differences were observed on relative telomere length in different cardiovascular tissues between SHR and SHR‐TAU. Altogether results suggest that taurine programming, albeit sex specific, is associated with gene expression changes which ultimately may lead to improvement of aortic remodelling and enhanced endothelial function because of augmented nitric oxide (NO) production.

ObjectiveTo describe and compare baseline renal anatomy and renal function in patients with obstetric fistulas, and to evaluate whether preoperative renal testing and imaging may aid with operative decision making.DesignA prospective cohort study.SettingFistula Care Centre in Malawi.PopulationWomen with an obstetric fistula.MethodsBaseline creatinine testing and renal ultrasounds were performed. Surgeons completed a short questionnaire on the usefulness of creatinine and renal ultrasound on operative decision making.Main outcome measuresBaseline creatinine and renal ultrasound findings.ResultsFour surgeons performed operations on 85 patients. The mean creatinine in patients with vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) was 0.60 ng/ml versus patients with uretero‐vaginal fistulas (UVF) (0.79 ng/ml, P = 0.012). When a grade 3 or more hydronephrosis is absent on renal ultrasound, the negative predictive value of the presence of UVF is 93.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 88.6–96.2) with a specificity of 97.2% (95% CI 90.3–99.6). In cases of UVF, surgeons found the renal ultrasound results useful or very useful 87.5% of the time, and the creatinine useful or very useful 75% of the time.ConclusionIn this pilot study, most patients with obstetric fistulas presented with a normal creatinine. In the absence of a grade 3 hydronephrosis or above on renal ultrasound, the probability of not having a UVF is 93.3%. Surgeons should consider performing preoperative renal ultrasound testing in all patients with an obstetric fistula, particularly in women with a prior laparotomy, as this population has risk factors for ureterovaginal fistula.Tweetable abstractMost patients with obstetric fistulas have normal renal function. Preoperative renal ultrasounds should be performed.
Cadmium: Mitigation strategies to reduce dietary exposure
Authors: Schaefer Heather R. , Dennis Sherri , Fitzpatrick Suzanne 
Published: January 2020

AbstractCadmium has long been recognized as an environmental contaminant that poses risks to human health. Cadmium is of concern since nearly everyone in the general population is exposed to the metal through the food supply and the ability of the element to accumulate in the body over a lifetime. In support of the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Toxic Element Working Group's efforts to reduce the risks associated with elements in food, this review sought to identify current or new mitigation efforts that have the potential to reduce exposures of cadmium throughout the food supply chain. Cadmium contamination of foods can occur at various stages, including agronomic production, processing, and consumer preparation for consumption. The presence of cadmium in food is variable and dependent on the geographical location, the bioavailability of cadmium from the soil, crop genetics, agronomic practices used, and postharvest operations. Although there are multiple points in the food supply system for foods to be contaminated and mitigations to be applied, a key step to reducing cadmium in the diet is to reduce or prevent initial uptake by plants consumed as food or feed crops. Due to complex interactions of soil chemistry, plant genetics, and agronomic practices, additional research is needed. Support for field‐based experimentation and testing is needed to inform risk modeling and to develop practical farm‐specific management strategies. This study can also assist the FDA in determining where to focus resources so that research and regulatory efforts can have the greatest impact on reducing cadmium exposures from the food supply.Practical ApplicationThe presence of cadmium in food is highly variable and highly dependent on the geographical location, the bioavailability of cadmium from the soil, crop genetics, and agronomic practices used. This study can assist the FDA in determining where to focus resources so that research and regulatory efforts can have the greatest impact on reducing cadmium exposures from the food supply.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation in southern Shaanxi, China is a critical window for the understanding of the Cambrian explosion, because of abundant and various exceptionally preserved metazoans and embryo fossils yielded. The efficiency of traditional sample manually selecting with microscopes is quite low and hinder the discoveries of new species, thus recognition and classification of microfossils by artificial intelligence (AI) is substantially in the request. In this paper, we develop a procedure for fossil area segmentation in common multi‐typed mixed photos by improved watershed algorithm. And for better fossil recognition, previous histogram of oriented grandient (HOG) algorithm is replaced by scale invariant feature transform (SIFT), which is feasible for the segmented images and increase the accuracy significantly. Thus, the scope of application of AI fossil recognition can be extended form single fossil image to multi‐typed mixed images and the reliability is also secured, as the result of our test presents a high (at least 84%) accuracy of fossil recognition.
Geochemistry and Geochronology of the Cenozoic Zhalaga Granitoids of the Yulong Alkali‐rich Porphyry Belt in Eastern Tibet (Xizang), SW China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

AbstractLarge‐scale Cenozoic magmatic rocks from the interplay between the Indian and Eurasian plate are exposed in the Yulong porphyry copper belt in the northern Jinshajiang–Ailaoshan domain. Alkali‐rich magmas along the Yulong porphyry copper belt can reveal the tectono‐magmatic processes in the Sanjiang region. In this study, we present new zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopes and whole rock geochemistry of Cenozoic granitoids from the Zhalaga area in the northern Yulong porphyry copper belt. The Zircon U–Pb dating results show that the Zhalaga granitic porphyry crystallized at ca. 42–38 Ma. These porphyry deposits are depleted in Nb, Ta, Sr, and Ti enriched in alkaline and rare earth elements (REEs), and exhibit high zircon saturation temperatures, that strongly indicate A‐type affinity. These data and the generally positive ∊Hf(t) values (2.0–4.5) suggest the magmas originated from a hybrid of partial melting of subduction‐modified lithospheric mantle, possibly triggered by upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle. Geochronological and geochemical data of the current and previous studies distinguish three magmatic phases during the Cenozoic in the Jinshajiang–Ailaoshan region: (1) ca. 62–48 Ma; (2) ca. 44–30 Ma; and (3) ca. 28–16 Ma. The strong collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates produced relatively fast convergence rates during the first episode (ca. 62–48 Ma), whereas the subsequent right‐lateral strike‐slip faulting in the Jinshajiang fault zone initiated at ca. 43 Ma is associated with the relatively low India–Eurasia convergence rates during ca. 44–30 Ma. These significantly impacted the nature and spatial distribution of the magmatism and the large‐scale metallogeny during the Cenozoic in the Sanjiang region. We suggest that the Zhalaga alkali‐rich magmas occurred in a transition period from involving soft to hard collisional settings. This remarkable example demonstrates that alkali‐rich magmas with A‐type affinity are also generated in an orogenic tectonic setting.

AbstractBackground/AimsThis study compared rates of clinical trial participation and perceived adequacy of information provided prior to consent in migrant and Australian‐born cancer patients, and explored factors associated with being approached and agreeing to participate.MethodsWe utilized data from a larger cross‐sectional survey assessing disparities in patient‐reported outcomes in Chinese, Arabic, or Greek migrant versus English‐speaking Australian‐born cancer patients. Participants completed a questionnaire eliciting demographic and disease details, communication challenges, whether invited and consented to a clinical trial, and if so, adequacy of information received.ResultsA total of 566 migrants (142 Arabic, 251 Chinese, and 173 Greek) and 270 English‐speaking Australian‐born patients participated. Overall, 25% were approached to participate in clinical trials, and of these, 74% consented. Migrants were significantly less likely to consent if asked to participate in clinical trials (P = .009), and fewer migrants (67.2%) reported receiving sufficient information prior to deciding on trial participation (82.1%; P = .04). Perceived understanding of the health system (odds ratio [OR] = 0.71), confidence in speaking (OR = 0.75), ability to understand English (OR = 0.80), and communicate with doctors in English (OR = 0.81) were significantly related to patients’ likelihood of being approached to participate in clinical trials. Perceived understanding of the health system (OR = 0.66) was significantly associated with patients agreeing to take part in cancer clinical trials.ConclusionsOur findings identified that barriers to migrants’ self‐reported participation in clinical trials include perceived lack of understanding of the health system and low English proficiency. Strategies that address these barriers are needed to increase migrant patients’ participation in cancer clinical trials.

Published: January 2020

AbstractDiffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum (DCHR) is a relatively rare benign vascular disease. DCHR is marked by recurrent bleeding and anemia, and it is difficult to diagnose correctly. Here, we report the case of a 34‐year‐old man diagnosed with DCHR by colonoscopy, CT, and endoscopic ultrasonography. The patient underwent a robot‐assisted anterior abdominal excision and subsequently recovered well from the surgery. Ileostomy closure was performed 3 months after surgery. Eight months after surgery, he had no evidence of rectal bleeding, and his defecation function was good, with no fecal incontinence. Regardless of the characteristics of DCHR and the susceptible age of DCHR, it is important to diagnose DCHR correctly as soon as possible and to treat it without a permanent colostomy. Robot‐assisted resection may be a good option for the treatment of DCHR.

AbstractCancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the incidence continues to increase. Despite major research aimed at discovering and developing novel and effective anticancer drugs, oncology drug development is a lengthy and costly process, with high attrition rates. Drug repositioning (DR, also referred to as drug repurposing), the process of finding new uses for approved noncancer drugs, has been gaining popularity in the past decade. DR has become a powerful alternative strategy for discovering and developing novel anticancer drug candidates from the existing approved drug space. Indeed, the availability of several large established libraries of clinical drugs and rapid advances in disease biology, genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics and bioinformatics has accelerated the pace of activity‐based, literature‐based and in silico DR, thereby improving safety and reducing costs. However, DR still faces financial obstacles in clinical trials, which could limit its practical use in the clinic. Here, we provide a brief review of DR in cancer and discuss difficulties in the development of DR for clinical use. Furthermore, we introduce some promising DR candidates for anticancer therapy in Japan.
