Authors: Nawawi Noor Afifah , Ting Su-Hie 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study examined interactional metadiscourse markers in Q1 and Q3–Q4 political sciences and creative arts abstracts.Design/methodology/approachThe corpus comprised 80 abstracts of articles published in Social Science Citation Index journals from 2011 to 2022 (40 in creative arts; 40 in political science). An analysis was conducted using Hyland’s (2005) interpersonal model for the distribution of hedges, boosters, self-mentions, attitude markers and engagement markers.FindingsThe analysis identified 598 interactional markers, with 61.9% in political science abstracts and 38.1% in creative arts abstracts. The political science writers were more into getting the readers involved in the argument (60.2 interactional markers per thousand words) than the creative arts writers (32.9 interactional markers per thousand words). For both disciplines, booster was the most frequently used marker followed by hedging, self-mention, attitude marker and engagement marker. Based on the total number and type of interactional marker, the creative arts abstracts in Q1 and Q3–Q4 journals were similar. However, the Q1 political science abstracts had a stronger authorial presence than the Q3–Q4 political science abstracts. The greater visibility of the Q1 political science writers was reflected in more frequent boosters, hedges and self-mentions. They were stronger in asserting their propositions with confidence.Research limitations/implicationsAs is evident from past studies, each discipline has its own uniqueness in writer-reader engagement. The study did not investigate possible influences of cultural background on the use of interactional markers for engagement by referring to the background of the writers.Practical implicationsAcademic writing courses can employ the findings on interactional metadiscourse markers for teaching college and university students to produce research reports that fit the conventions of the community of practice.Social implicationsThe findings indicate that differences in interactional metadiscourse use by discipline and journal tier was more obvious in the political sciences than creative arts. This means that there is a greater focus on authorial identity in the political sciences. As for journal tier, the creative arts researchers are similar in the style and there is less demarcation in the quality of writing with respect to reader-writer engagement.Originality/valueThe study provides new insights on greater reader interaction by discipline and journal tier in the political sciences than in the creative arts.

Published: February 2025

AbstractAlthough digital technologies can be powerful tools to fulfil environmental responsibilities, scant research has examined whether and how firms adopting these technologies evade environmental responsibilities. This study uses data on Chinese listed firms from 2012 to 2022 to explore whether corporate digitalization (CD) leads to corporate greenwashing (CGW). Our findings indicate that CD exacerbates CGW, as it exacerbates information asymmetry between companies and stakeholders through impression management, information manipulation and increasing the complexity of corporate operations, all of which can lead to CGW. Furthermore, building on the fraud triangle, we find that financial distress, digital misalignment and earnings manipulation exacerbate the main effect. This study contributes to the literature on the dark side of digital transformation in firm performance.

AbstractIntroductionSociodemographic and obstetric factors have been shown to impact childbirth experience, but results regarding the effect of certain factors have been heterogeneous. It is important to understand how individual risk factors affect childbirth experience to be able to identify women at risk for negative childbirth experience. The aim of this study was to determine individual associations between sociodemographic and obstetric factors and childbirth experience.Material and MethodsThe Labor Progression Study (LaPS‐NCT02221427) was a multicenter randomized trial examining clinical consequences of using Zhang's guideline versus the WHO partograph on intrapartum cesarean section rate. Four weeks after delivery, 5810 women received the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) online. The CEQ consists of 19 questions on four subscales (own capacity, professional support, perceived safety, and participation). The total CEQ score is the mean score of each of the subscale scores, ranging from 1 to 4, a higher score indicating a better childbirth experience. Sociodemographic (age, body mass index, education, civil status, and smoking) and obstetric (gestational age, prolonged labor, mode of delivery, and obstetric complications) characteristics of the women were recorded, and associations to total and subscale CEQ scores were examined with log‐linear regression.ResultsIn all, 3604 women answered the questionnaire, a 62.9% response rate. The mean (SD) total CEQ score was of 3.24 (0.43). The subscale score was highest for professional support, mean 3.68 (0.49), and lowest for own capacity, mean 2.61 (0.54). The total CEQ score was not associated with any of the sociodemographic characteristics examined. Smoking in the first trimester was associated with lower scores on the professional support subscale 3.61 (3.55, 3.67) than nonsmokers, 3.69 (3.68, 3.71); p = 0.001. Of obstetric factors, only delivering in week 37 was significantly associated with a higher total CEQ score, 3.34 (3.28, 3.40), vs. 3.24 (3.22, 3.26) at 40 weeks, p = 0.002. Findings remained significant in adjusted analysis.ConclusionsIn our study, individual sociodemographic factors did not impact overall the childbirth experience. Smoking was associated with a lower score on the professional support subscale. Delivery in week 37 was associated with a better overall childbirth experience. No other obstetric factor influenced the childbirth experience.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundData to date using normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) devices to resuscitate and assess marginal livers such as donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers has shown impressive prevention of ischemic reperfusion injury and ischemic cholangiopathy (IC). We examined the impact of these NMP devices over 3 years after their release for commercial use on deceased donor liver transplantation (LT).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of UNOS‐SRTR data of livers recovered from DCD donors or older (≥ 60 years old) donation after brain death (DBD) donors for LT as well as the outcome of LT from DBD or DCD donors performed from 1/1/2016 to 6/30/2024 to compare differences with ischemic cold storage (ICS) versus NMP.ResultsAmong 10 778 donors of DCD livers, 1987 donors used NMP, and 8791 donors used ICS. In NMP group, the proportion of discarded livers was significantly less (7.25% vs. 30.52%), donors were older, donor BMI higher and more expanded criteria donor than those in ICS group (all, p < 0.001). For older donors, 416 cases used NMP and in 10 708 cases the liver was recovered via ICS. The discard rate of livers in NMP group was significantly less (4.33% vs. 12.18%, p < 0.001) and donors were older and donor BMI higher than that in ICS group. In DCD LT, the incidence of primary nonfunction (PNF), acute rejection within 1 year after LT as well as graft failure due to IC and hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) in NMP group were significantly less than those in ICS group.ConclusionIn conclusion, commercial use of NMP has expanded the donor pool by accelerated usage of marginal livers such as DCD and older donors by permitting longer preservation and functional assessment of the liver. In addition, the usage of NMP for DCD LTs was associate with a reduced incidence of rejection, PNF, graft failure due to IC and HAT.

ABSTRACTAimThis study examines trends in paracetamol overdoses among Danish adolescents during and following the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsA retrospective observational study was conducted using data from the national databases, covering all paediatric departments in Denmark from January 2016 to December 2023. Patients between 10 and 19 years of age diagnosed with paracetamol overdose were stratified by sex, age and number of hospital admissions. As the dataset covers the entire population, observed values reflect true parameters. A one‐sample t‐test compared post‐COVID‐19 values to the pre‐COVID‐19 mean.ResultsA total of 4.448 patients accounted for 5.794 hospital admissions due to paracetamol overdoses, with a majority being girls. During the second year of the pandemic (2021), a rise in overdose cases (26.5%) and hospital admissions (30.3%) was observed, especially among girls. The average number of admissions per patient increased, indicating repeated self‐harm attempts. Cases of severe overdoses leading to acute liver failure increased at Rigshospitalet. These trends reversed post‐pandemic.ConclusionThe findings suggest an association between pandemic‐related isolation and an increase in adolescent paracetamol overdoses. While rates began to normalise after restrictions were lifted, further research is needed to assess the long‐term mental health impact of such restrictions.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis proof‐of‐concept study investigates the potential of immersive 360° VR nature videos to enhance emotional well‐being and nature connectedness, focusing on their use as e‐health interventions within social marketing initiatives. The research examined four key variables: (i) presence, or the extent to which participants felt immersed in the VR experience; (ii) emotional responses, measured by changes in participants' positive and negative affect; (iii) user experience, including enjoyment and engagement; and (iv) nature connectedness, reflecting participants' state of connection to the natural world. Using a mixed‐method approach, participants (n = 63) engaged with four VR nature videos, with presence, emotional states and nature connectedness measured before and after the experience. Results showed high levels of presence, with participants reporting feelings of calmness, escape and connection to nature. Positive affect increased post‐VR, although negative affect remained unchanged. Nature connectedness improved across all participants, highlighting the potential of VR nature experiences to support well‐being. Individual differences, such as prior VR experience and gender, influenced perceptions, emphasising the need to tailor interventions. This study provides a foundation for using 360° VR nature videos in social marketing to promote emotional well‐being, particularly for those with limited access to natural environments.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe continuum of metabolic syndrome encompasses a spectrum of dysfunctions impacting obesity‐linked insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and pro‐inflammatory immune responses. The global prevalence of metabolic diseases, including diabetes, chronic liver disease, cardiometabolic disease and kidney disease, has surged in recent decades, contributing significantly to population mortality. Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease, is a leading cause of liver disease worldwide. MASLD poses a significant global health challenge with its rising prevalence, placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems, impacts patient well‐being and incurs significant economic costs. Addressing MASLD requires a comprehensive understanding of its interconnected factors, including its prevalence, healthcare burden and economic implications. Lack of awareness, imprecise non‐invasive diagnostic methods and ineffective preventive interventions are core components of the MASLD‐related problem.AimThe aim of this article was to summarise the global burden of MASLD from the payer's perspective.MethodsWe carried out a review of the global comprehensive burden of MASLD. These topics led to discussions and insights by an expert panel during the 7th Metabolic Continuum Roundtable meeting, which took place in November 2023. This meeting focused on the burden, patient‐reported outcomes and health economics, from payor and societal perspectives, and aimed to identify opportunities for improving patient care, optimise resource allocation and mitigate the overall impact on individuals and society related to MASLD. During the roundtable, an emphasis emerged on the need for greater awareness and strategic deployment of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative measures to address MASLD effectively.ConclusionThe global burden of MASLD is high and growing. Prioritising the prevention of metabolic dysregulation and timely therapeutic interventions can yield a holistic strategy to combat MASLD, its progression and potentially lower disease costs.Trial Registration: NCT06309992

ABSTRACTSeveral dynamic models predict mortality and corticosteroid response in alcohol‐associated hepatitis (AH), yet no consensus exists on the most effective model. This study aimed to assess predictive models for corticosteroid response and short‐term mortality in severe AH within a global cohort. We conducted a multi‐national study of patients with severe AH treated with corticosteroids for at least 7 days, enrolled between 2009 and 2019. Dynamic models—Lille‐4, Lille‐7, trajectory of serum bilirubin (TSB), and neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR)—were used to estimate 30‐ and 90‐day mortality. Lille‐7 demonstrated the highest accuracy for both 30‐ and 90‐day mortality.
Why moral judgements change across variations of trolley‐like problems
Authors: Cohen Dale J. , Quinlan Philip T. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIn the standard ‘trolley problem’, respondents must decide whether to save a condemned group of individuals by sacrificing a safe bystander. Although respondents often are willing to sacrifice the bystander in some circumstances (e.g., by pulling a lever), they are loath to sacrifice the bystander in others (e.g., by pushing the bystander off a footbridge). This difference in responding has been explained via a Dual Process theory of moral judgements (DPT). DPT, however, is a classic boxes‐and‐arrows model that only makes directional predictions. Meehl (1967, Philosophy of Science, 34, 103) cautioned against theories that only make directional predictions, explaining that they are notoriously difficult to falsify. Meehl (1967, Philosophy of Science, 34, 103) argued that researchers should follow the lead of Physics and develop computational models that make functional and point predictions. Here, we use a value‐based, computational cognitive model of decision‐making (Psychological Value Theory) to predict precisely both the speed and kind of response in trolley‐like problems in three experiments. We show that this model accounts for the changes in choices across variations of the trolley problem with a response bias parameter.

AbstractThe angiosperm tribe of Elsholtzieae (Lamiaceae) is characterized by complex inflorescences and has notable medicinal and economic significance. Relationships within Elsholtzieae, including the monophyly of Elsholtzia and Keiskea, and relationships among Mosla, Keiskea and Perilla, remain uncertain, hindering insights into inflorescence evolution within the tribe. Using hybridization capture sequencing and deep genome skimming data analysis, we reconstruct a phylogeny of Elsholtzieae using 279 orthologous nuclear loci from 56 species. We evaluated uncertainty among relationships using concatenation, coalescent and network approaches. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we reconstructed ancestral inflorescence traits to elucidate the patterns in their evolution within the tribe. Our analyses consistently support the paraphyly of the genus Elsholtzia. Phylogenetic network analyses, confirmed by PhyloNetworks and SplitsTree, showed reticulation events among the major lineages of Elsholtzieae. The unstable polyphyly of Keiskea observed in ASTRAL (accurate species tree algorithm), ML (maximum likelihood) and MP (maximum parsimony) analyses may be related to introgression from Perilla and Mosla. Based on the analyses of phylogenetic trees within Elsholtzieae, the evolutionary trajectory of inflorescences demonstrates a pattern of diversification, with specialization as one aspect of this process. Elsholtzieae support the hypothesis that compressed inflorescences evolved from larger and more complex ancestral forms through successive compressions of the inflorescence axis. Additionally, certain lineages within the tribe display a trend towards simplified inflorescences, characterized by a reduction in the number of florets. This highlights both the specialization and the diversity in the evolution of inflorescence structures within the tribe.

ABSTRACTThe recent acceleration of global climate warming has created an urgent need for reliable projections of species distributions, widely used by natural resource managers. Such projections have been mainly produced by species distribution models with little information on their performances in novel climates. Here, we hindcast the range shifts of forest tree species across Europe over the last 12,000 years to compare the reliability of three different types of models. We show that in the most climatically dissimilar conditions, process‐explicit models (PEMs) tend to outperform correlative species distribution models (CSDMs), and that PEM projections are likely to be more reliable than those made with CSDMs by the end of the 21st century. These results demonstrate for the first time the often promoted albeit so far untested idea that explicit description of mechanisms confers model robustness, and highlight a new avenue to increase model projection reliability in the future.
Grouped and Vibrating: The Influence of Group Size, Triggering Stimuli, and Leg Loss in Bobbing in an Arachnid
Authors: Villaseñor‐Amador Damián , Escalante Ignacio 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTAnimals across taxa form aggregations, with increased defenses as one of the benefits. Some defensive behaviors of grouped animals involve body movements. However, how those behaviors are triggered varies, and how between‐individual morphological variation affects them remains unknown. In this project, we explored three drivers of bobbing—an up‐and‐down body vibration behavior assumed to be a defensive response—with field observations and a lab experiment in one species of the arachnid order Opiliones (Prionostemma sp.2). First, we explored the variation in bobbing duration across groups of a variable number of individuals, as animals could modulate their engagement in this behavior to ensure a successful predator‐deterrent behavior. We found that the duration of bobbing increased with group size. Second, we explored the effect of different triggering stimuli that might represent natural scenarios of an approaching predator. We found that a touching stimulus (gentle stick touching) triggered longer bobbing than an airflow stimulus (gentle blow). Third, we explored if the individuals' leg condition (whether they had all eight or fewer legs when found) affects their engagement in this behavior. We found that variations in leg condition did not affect their defensive engagement, as bobbing duration was similar between intact individuals and those missing legs. Together, these data provide novel observational and experimental insights into the drivers of collective behavior in animals. While individual variation in morphological conditions does not affect bobbing in these understudied arachnids, variability in group size and the triggering stimuli impacted their engagement in movement behavioral defenses.
