Multilingual information transitions in migrant families
Authors: Alon Lilach , Krtalić Maja 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study explores multilingual information transitions experienced by migrant families, examining the factors that shape these transitions from the lens of information behavior. The research focuses on understanding how migrant families navigate and adapt to new information landscapes while integrating multiple languages into their daily lives.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a qualitative phenomenological approach, conducting 16 in-depth interviews with migrants from diverse linguistic backgrounds to explore their experiences managing multilingual information. The analysis employed content analysis according to Moustakas (1994).FindingsFindings reveal that migration prompts multilingual information transitions in daily routines, inter-familial interactions and extended family and community engagements. These transitions are shaped by factors such as the need to preserve the family heritage, maintain native language use as well as build and sustain relationships across linguistic boundaries. Migrant families adjust their information practices to navigate multilingual challenges, influencing their communication, documentation and connections with family and community.Originality/valueThe study presents a theoretical model that illustrates the interactions between information transitions and the factors influencing them, providing new insights into how multilingualism shapes family information behavior in the context of migration.

Published: January 2025

PurposeBased on conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study analyses how servant leadership and high-performance work systems (HPWS) provide employees with valuable resources that help them cope with work demands and preserve or increase personal and job resources, which in turn enhances their work-life balance (WLB) and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 253 hotel workers from Gran Canaria was surveyed. The study used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses.FindingsBoth servant leadership and HPWS positively affect employees’ job satisfaction. Additionally, WLB plays a mediating role in explaining how servant leadership and HPWS can increase employees’ job satisfaction.Practical implicationsOur findings offer practical guidance for hotel managers on implementing strategies that foster employee well-being and enhance performance through a combination of servant leadership and HPWS.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to investigate the mediating role of WLB between servant leadership, HPWS and job satisfaction in the hospitality sector. By applying COR theory, it offers new insights into the interaction between personal and job-related resources and their impact on employee outcomes.
Revising the tourism-induced environment Kuznets curve hypothesis in top 8 Asian economies: the role of ICT and renewable energy consumption
Authors: Shah Syed Ale Raza , Balsalobre-Lorente Daniel , Radulescu Magdalena , Zhang Qianxiao , Hussain Bilal 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to emphasize economic complexity, tourism, information and communication technology (ICT), renewable energy consumption and foreign direct investment (FDI) as the determinants of carbon emissions.

Design/methodology/approach
These economies rely on the tourism sector, and Asian countries rank among the top tourism economies worldwide in terms of tourism receipts. This study uses a series of empirical estimators, i.e. cross-sectional augmented auto-regression distributive lag and panel cointegration, to validate the main hypotheses.

Findings
The econometric results confirm an inverted U-shaped association between economic complexity and carbon emissions, validating the economic complexity index induced environment Kuznets curve hypothesis for the selected Asian economies.

Research limitations/implications
Finally, the empirical results admit articulating some imperative policy suggestions to attain a sustainable environment on behalf of outcomes.

Practical implications
Furthermore, ICT and renewable energy consumption are environment-friendly indicators, while FDI and the international tourism industry increase environmental pressure in selected countries. In addition, this study also explores the interaction between renewable energy and ICT with FDI and their effects on carbon emissions. Interestingly, both interaction terms positively respond to the environmental correction process.

Originality/value
Because ICT with FDI may not reduce environmental pollution unless the energy used in FDI projects is greener. Moreover, in Asian economies, industrial and other sectors could increase environmental quality via the role of ICT in FDI.
Differences in preferences for health-promoting food appeals by health behavior stages
Authors: Tanemura Nanae , Kashino Ikuko , Araki Michihiro 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
High sodium intake remains a leading cause of death associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer in Japan. Improving food environment standards is crucial, particularly through a population-wide approach, to limit processed food availability. This study aims to clarify the preferred reduced-sodium appeals highlighting health benefits of food according to the three stages of behavioral change.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey was conducted in Japan from October 12 to 16, 2023, involving 1,200 individuals aged 20–80 years. Respondents were presented with two types of appeal expressions extracted from various sodium-reduced or normal food products. The evaluation of purchase intent was stratified according to the three stages of health behavior.

Findings
Among the 1,200 respondents (average age, 52.4 ± 13.2 years), 498 were in the action group (average age, 55.4 ± 13.4 years), 173 were in the preparation group (average age, 51.1 ± 12.6 years) and 529 were in the precontemplation group (average age, 49.9 ± 12.5 years) (p < 0.01). The precontemplation group preferred a rephrased expression of reduced sodium with no health appeal. Conversely, the action and preparation groups preferred a direct reduction in sodium appeal.

Originality/value
Conventional health appeals to reduce sodium intake will only improve the health of those who are already health conscious. Therefore, such efforts are inadequate for reducing health disparities. A population-wide food environment system based on behavior-stage groups should be established in collaboration with the food industry.
The neutralization of ESG risks by leading agri-food companies
Authors: Boiral Olivier , Brotherton Marie-Christine , Talbot David 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to shed more light on the motivations for environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk management by agri-food companies and the neutralization techniques used to legitimize the measures taken in this area.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on an analysis of the sustainability reporting of 135 companies, this study shows the interdependence between the main motivations for ESG risk management and the neutralization techniques used in disclosing information about their exposure to threats or negative events that could damage their image.

Findings
The results of the study allow us to understand the four main complementary neutralization techniques used to obfuscate the negative consequences of risks related to agri-food activities: mitigating ESG threats, addressing global risks through corporate leadership, taking advantage of sustainability trends and turning risks into opportunities.

Practical implications
Managers can use the results of this paper to identify the best management approaches to take ESG risks into account more substantially in their company.

Social implications
Ultimately, this study is important to improve the practices of agri-food companies and therefore their social legitimacy.

Originality/value
The examination of these neutralization techniques and their underlying motivations makes important contributions to the emerging literature on ESG risk management. The study also contributes to research on the disclosure of negative information that can damage a company’s reputation and on the strategies that companies use to promote the social acceptability of their activities.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveSerum uric acid (SUA) may play positive roles in diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as osteoporosis (OP). Nevertheless, the specific impact of SUA levels on both bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of OP remains uncertain. Considering such information crucial for clinicians when making decisions about urate‐lowering therapy (ULT), we sought to fill this gap by conducting dose–response meta‐analyses.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies that met the inclusion criteria. Pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) for BMDs and the odds ratio (OR) for OP between the highest and lowest SUA categories as well as the nonlinear dose–response relationships were estimated.ResultsPooled SMDs indicate that participants in the highest category of SUA have greater BMDs at the lumbar spine (SMD = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.27, 0.46), femoral neck (SMD = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.21, 0.29), total hip (SMD = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.26, 0.42), and lower risk of OP (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.67) compared with the lowest. The nonlinear dose–response relationships were also observed. However, when the SUA level exceeded 6 mg/dL, the dose–response curve between SUA levels and the risk of OP tended to be flattened.ConclusionNonlinear dose–response relationships were found that higher SUA levels are associated with greater BMDs and lower risk of OP. For patients receiving ULT, maintaining SUA level at around 6 mg/dL may be appropriate from the perspective of bone metabolism.
How policing incentives affect crime, measurement, and justice
Authors: Adamson Jordan , Rentschler Lucas 
Published: January 2025

AbstractIn this paper we develop a model where the police choose between investigating and patrolling, while civilians choose between producing and stealing. We derive a truth table for the equilibrium numbers of criminals and producers, punished or not, that can holistically evaluate the effects of police performance incentives. To test the model, we conduct an experiment that varies how severely an officer is reprimanded for false punishments. We find that stronger reprimands do not change crime, increase civilian incomes, and decrease false positives. We also find that the clearance rate, a measure of performance used widely in econometric studies, suggests police performance is better when it is unambiguously worse.
A Transition From Interindividual Uniformity to Diversity in Appearance and Transcriptional Features at Midlife in Caenorhabditis elegans

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTDuring embryogenesis, organisms function as a robust system that ensures uniformity within individuals, but they lose robustness and develop variations at advanced ages. However, when and how organisms lose this robustness remains largely elusive. Here, we identified a sharp transition from interindividual uniformity to diversity in the appearance and transcriptional features of age‐matched Caenorhabditis elegans in midlife. Convolutional neural network analysis of individual appearance alterations revealed that the transition occurs in midlife, which coincides with the cessation of egg‐laying activity and increased motility defects. This period represents the transition from the young state, marked by shared homogeneous features among same‐age individuals, to the old state, marked by shared among old individuals. Transcriptional coherence within the age‐matched individuals shows essentially the same transition, coinciding with the appearance features. These findings provide a new framework for understanding the aging trajectory in C. elegans, demonstrating the occurrence of the loss of robust control over appearance and transcriptional homeostasis in midlife.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe temperature–composition structural phase diagram of the BTO‐based ferroelectric system Ba0.94Ca0.06Ti1−xHfxO3 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) is investigated using high‐angular resolution synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction and dielectric permittivity measurements. In contrast to the well‐known structural phase transition sequence of the parent compound BaTiO3 (rhombohedral → orthorhombic → tetragonal → cubic, upon heating), Hf4+ doping into Ba0.94Ca0.06Ti1−xHfxO3 results in the gradual disappearance of the intermediate orthorhombic and tetragonal phases at two different, but close, critical concentrations, 0.10 < xc1 < 0.12 and 0.12 < xc2 < 0.135, respectively, revealing the presence of two triple points in the phase diagram.
Walking together: artificial and natural selection in traditional husbandry of feral pigs

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe history of Homo sapiens is studded with many events promoting relationships with wild animals changing their evolutionary path or impacting their adaptation. Artificial selection is recognized as the product of planned actions aimed to annex useful species into the anthropic niche. However, the effect of humans on animal evolutionary trajectories is diversified and cannot be assigned to a single driver. We characterized the genomes of feral pigs managed by different traditional husbandry practices to infer about the combining effect of artificial and natural selection. Whole genome characterization showed a clear distinctiveness of Sardinian wild boars (Sus scrofa) from free‐range pig and domestic pig (Sus domesticus) populations, while Eurasian wild boars and hybrids are closely related, also in agreement with allelic frequency. In the Southern Italy system, we found 7 SNPs putatively under selection, associated with genomic regions including genes mainly involved in body weight control and feeding behavior, muscle growth and development, and adipocyte proliferation. Considering Sardinian wild boar and free‐range pigs, over 3000 SNPs were found putatively under selection, and the genomic regions in which these SNPs fall include genes linked mainly to litter size and number of teats. The screening of genomic variability was useful to characterize feral pigs and wild boars from Southern Italy and Sardinia and the relationships between them, highlighting the effect of a peculiar artificial selection that modulates its weightiness due to the concomitant natural selection. In particular, the traditional Sardinian pig husbandry seems to act pushing down gene flow towards wild boar while favoring adaptations to life in the wild, creating a unique genetic pattern in free‐range pigs, different both from the domestic and the wild genetic makeup. Our contribution opens up a discussion on the current European policy for the management of free‐range pigs, the effective conservation actions for diversity in Suidae forms and their consequent impacts on biodiversity.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo assess the accuracy of three commercially available and one open‐source deep learning (DL) solutions for automatic tooth segmentation in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients with multiple dental impactions.Materials and MethodsTwenty patients (20 CBCT scans) were selected from a retrospective cohort of individuals with multiple dental impactions. For each CBCT scan, one reference segmentation and four DL segmentations of the maxillary and mandibular teeth were obtained. Reference segmentations were generated by experts using a semi‐automatic process. DL segmentations were automatically generated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of each DL segmentation were performed by comparing it with expert‐generated segmentation. The quantitative metrics used were Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and the normalized surface distance (NSD).ResultsThe patients had an average of 12 retained teeth, with 12 of them diagnosed with a rare disease. DSC values ranged from 88.5% ± 3.2% to 95.6% ± 1.2%, and NSD values ranged from 95.3% ± 2.7% to 97.4% ± 6.5%. The number of completely unsegmented teeth ranged from 1 (0.1%) to 41 (6.0%). Two solutions (Diagnocat and DentalSegmentator) outperformed the others across all tested parameters.ConclusionAll the tested methods showed a mean NSD of approximately 95%, proving their overall efficiency for tooth segmentation. The accuracy of the methods varied among the four tested solutions owing to the presence of impacted teeth in our CBCT scans. DL solutions are evolving rapidly, and their future performance cannot be predicted based on our results.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the ecological footprint awareness and ecological intelligence levels of nurses working in a hospital.MethodsThis descriptive study was conducted with 290 nurses working in a hospital. The study data were collected using a descriptive questionnaire, “Ecological Intelligence Scale”, and “Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale”. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v23. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution was examined using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Pearson Correlation analysis and Regression analysis were used to determine and explain the relationships between variables.ResultsThe mean age of the nurses in the study was 34.30 ± 8.53 and 85.9% were female. A statistically significant relationship was found between nurses' membership in an environmental association or organization (β = 0.192; p = 0.001) and their reaction to individuals who pollute the environment (β = 0.208; p = 0.001) and ecological intelligence. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between nurses' gender (β = 0.121; p = 0.041) and their reaction to individuals who pollute the environment and ecological footprint awareness (β = 0.165; p = 0.006). As the age and professional seniority of nurses increases, their ecological footprint awareness also increases (p < 0.001).ConclusionAs the age and working years of nurses increase, their awareness of ecological footprint also increases. As nurses' ecological intelligence increases, their awareness of their ecological footprint also increases. Female nurses have higher ecological footprint awareness than male nurses.

Published: January 2025

AbstractMitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinases (MAP4Ks) are a class of highly conserved serine/threonine‐protein kinases in eukaryotes. They participate in the typical MAPK cascade system and various signal transduction pathways regulating biological processes in plants, during stressful conditions. To date, genome‐wide identification of MAP4Ks in cotton has not been reported. In this study, 77 MAP4K genes were identified in four Gossypium species. Protein characteristics, gene structures, conserved motifs and gene expression analysis were carried out. Genome‐wide or fragment duplication has played an important role in the expansion of the GhMAP4K. Promoter cis‐acting elements and expression patterns indicated that GhMAP4Ks are related to plant hormones (ABA, MeJA, GA, IAA, SA) and various stresses (drought, hypothermia and wound). Overexpressing GhMAP4K13 in Arabidopsis showed higher stem length in response to drought and salt stress. The wilting degree in virus‐induced GhMAP4K13 gene silenced plants was substantially greater than wild type plants under drought and salt stress. Transcriptomic analysis showed that most differentially expressed genes were involved in the MAPK signaling pathway, carbon metabolism and porphyrin metabolism. Additionally, transgenic Arabidopsis and VIGS cotton showed that GhMAP4K13 was positively responsive to drought and salt stresses. This study will play an important role in understanding the function of the MAP4K gene family in response to abiotic stress in cotton.
