Published: December 2024

PurposeCircular economy (CE) is a structured model of production and consumption involving sharing, leasing, reusing, recycling, repairing and refurbishing existing products or materials sustainably. Despite the numerous benefits of CE adoption, the construction and demolition (C&D) sector still struggles to comprehensively understand, integrate and adopt this approach. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of CE within the C&D sector and proposes a structured conceptual framework for an effective construction and demolition waste management (CDWM) program.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses” (PRISMA) framework to search for articles across three databases: Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO. EndNote software and Excel spreadsheets were used to analyze and synthesize the articles up to 2024. A total of 102 articles were included in the study. Various key facets of the CE in CDWM, including barriers and mitigation actions, enablers, tools and techniques, benefits, strategies and frameworks, have been thoroughly reviewed and analyzed for the C&D sector to understand their nature and effectively adopt the CE approach in CDWM operations.FindingsThe findings provide a comprehensive analysis of different facets of CE in CDWM and a structured conceptual framework for the effective adoption of CE. This will contribute to improving the management of CDWM in the C&D sector. The outcomes offer a comprehensive knowledge base of CE in CDWM to managers, planners, decision-makers, stakeholders and researchers, enabling effective deployment.Practical implicationsThis study offers a substantial knowledge base to researchers by examining various key facets of CE in CDWM, aiding further exploration of research in the same domain. Additionally, it assists C&D managers, planners, stakeholders and decision-makers by furnishing a structured conceptual framework of CE, thereby enhancing effective implementation. Furthermore, this study supports society by providing a pathway to improve C&D waste circularity through the execution of CE.Originality/valueThis study is the first to comprehensively review the various facets of CE from a CDWM perspective and to propose a structured conceptual framework for the effective adoption of CE in the C&D sector. Additionally, it not only advances theoretical knowledge of CE adoption in the CDWM field but also provides practical guidance to stakeholders on how to implement a comprehensive CE approach to enhance C&D waste circularity.

Purpose While studies have highlighted the benefits of athlete endorsement as a means of strategic marketing communication and public relations, there are risk factors associated with the practice, especially when a celebrity endorser is involved in immoral incidents or social activism. This study examined the impacts of athlete endorsers’ controversial behavior on sponsors. It scrutinized the change in publicly traded corporations’ shareholder value when their athlete endorsers were implicated in either immoral conduct or social activism.Design/methodology/approachUsing the event study analysis, this study investigated the sponsored corporations’ abnormal returns around athlete endorsers’ involvement in immoral incidents and social activism. Total 34 cases (18 immoral scandals and 16 social activism) were collected from 2009 to 2019.Findings The data analysis revealed a significant difference in abnormal returns between the two different types of incidents for the four different windows (2, 4, 8 and 15 days) after the date of the focal event. While scandals of immoral conduct did not cause significant loss in shareholder value, cases of social activism showed negative abnormal returns for sponsoring corporations.Originality/value This study presented the first comparative analysis of how endorsers’ immoral behavior and social activism impacted on the shareholders’ value of sponsoring firms. Using stock performance data, the findings provided the empirical evidence in stock markets’ different reactions regarding scandals and social activism. The study contributes to the relevant body of literature by comparing the different contexts in celebrity endorsement.

Authors: Anastasiadis Foivos , Apostolidou Ioanna , Tsolakis Naoum 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Traceability systems (TS) have enabled significant improvements in supply chain management. Despite these advancements, there is room for further enhancement in the acceptance and diffusion of TS among stakeholders in emergent agri-food supply chains. Conducting a strategic analysis of TS is crucial to reveal the associated challenges, opportunities, pros and cons. Doing so will foster the development of emergent agri-food supply chains and unlock their potential.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a modified quantitative four-round Delphi methodology among experts, selected according to the quadruple helix model, covering end-to-end the supply chain. The research was carried out in Greece, as its agri-food sector epitomizes the type of emergent supply chain under investigation.

Findings
This study reveals the impact of TS in emergent agri-food industries, emphasizing the firm-focused positive effects like improving their supply chain performance. The research also highlights the benefits of TS adoption, suggesting that they outweigh any drawbacks based on the TS internal-external environment analysis. The multi-stakeholder participatory approach resulted in a blend of well-informed policy-making recommendations and managerial insights, paving the way for a broader and more efficient TS adoption in emergent agri-food supply chains.

Research limitations/implications
Impediments on sampling require caution when extending these findings to other contexts. Yet, it is crucial to conduct further research using a similar approach in a broader area, not just limited to Greece but also in other economies with similar conditions characterized by nascent supply chains.

Originality/value
The comprehensive and holistic approach used in this study, examining the extended supply chain context instead of just dyads, offers valuable insights that contribute to theory development in supply chain management. Such an output is momentous when researching emergent supply chains and complex issues like traceability, which require information sharing and involve interdependencies and hidden dynamics among stakeholders that are impossible to explore otherwise.
Adaptive Responses of Cyanobacteria to Phosphate Limitation: A Focus on Marine Diazotrophs

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTPhosphorus is an essential component of numerous macromolecules and is vital for life. Its availability significantly influences primary production, particularly in oligotrophic environments. Marine diazotrophic cyanobacteria, which play key roles in biogeochemical cycles through nitrogen fixation (N2 fixation), have adapted to thrive in phosphate (Pi)‐poor areas. However, the molecular mechanisms that facilitate their adaptation to such conditions remain incompletely understood. Bacteria have evolved various strategies to cope with Pi limitation, including detecting Pi availability, utilising high‐affinity Pi transporters, and hydrolyzing dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) with various enzymes. This review synthesises current knowledge regarding how cyanobacteria adapt to Pi scarcity, with particular emphasis on subtropical marine free‐living diazotrophs and their ability to utilise diverse DOP molecules. Omics approaches, such as (meta)genomics and (meta)transcriptomics, reveal the resilience of marine diazotrophs in the face of Pi scarcity and highlight the need for further research into their molecular adaptive strategies. Adaptation to Pi limitation is often intertwined with the broader response of cyanobacteria to multiple limitations and stresses. This underscores the importance of understanding Pi adaptation to assess the ecological resilience of these crucial microorganisms in dynamic environments, particularly in the context of global climate change.

Published: December 2024

ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of clinical decision support tool (CDST)‐guided initial selective intensive induction therapy (IIT) for patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who were treated with ustekinumab (UST) and to identify those most likely to benefit from IIT.MethodsPatients with active CD were included in this multicenter retrospective study and were categorized as low‐, intermediate‐, and high‐probability responders according to the UST‐CDST. IIT was defined as intensive induction by two or three initial doses of weight‐based intravenous UST administration. Patients treated with standard therapy (ST) served as controls. The primary end‐point was corticosteroid‐free clinical remission (CFCR) at Week 24. Secondary end‐points included clinical remission, clinical response, endoscopic remission, endoscopic response, and C‐reactive protein (CRP) normalization at Week 24. Propensity score adjustments was conducted to ensure comparability.ResultsA total of 296 patients were included. At Week 24, IIT was associated with higher rates of CFCR (72.3% vs 43.0%, p < 0.001), clinical remission (77.3% vs 47.1%, p < 0.001), clinical response (78.1% vs 60.1%, p = 0.001), endoscopic remission (26.1% vs 9.9%, p = 0.024), and endoscopic response (58.6% vs 36.9%, p = 0.018) in low–intermediate‐probability responders compared with ST. CRP normalization was comparable between groups. No significant differences were found in any end‐points in high‐probability responders. No serious adverse events were observed.ConclusionThe efficacy of IIT was superior to that of ST in patients with predicted poor response to UST, which may be regarded as a novel strategy for stratifying patients at baseline.

SummaryAcute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGVHD) significantly affects quality of life and outcomes in patients post‐haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo‐HSCT). Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used to prevent aGVHD but can lead to complications like delayed haematological recovery and oral mucositis (OM). This study investigates the efficacy of anti‐CD25 monoclonal antibody (mAb) as a potential MTX alternative. Participants were divided into two cohorts: a single‐dose group (25 mg/day anti‐CD25 mAb with MTX) and a double‐dose group (50 mg/day anti‐CD25 mAb without MTX). The primary end‐point was the cumulative incidence (CI) of severe aGVHD by day 100. The double‐dose cohort demonstrated a significantly lower CI of total aGVHD (23.53% vs. 42.11%, p = 0.009) and grade 3–4 aGVHD (7.35% vs. 18.42%, p = 0.047). After inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment, the adjusted HR of double‐dose compared with single‐dose cohort for total aGVHD was 0.47 (95% CI 0.26–0.86; p = 0.015), 0.42(95% CI 0.15–1.22; p = 0.110) for grade III–IV aGVHD, 0.45 (95% CI 0.26–0.77; p = 0.004) for total cGVHD and 0.36 (95% CI 0.18–0.72; p = 0.004) for the moderate to severe cGVHD. Additionally, this double‐dose regimen significantly reduced the incidence of oral mucositis and demonstrated lower rates of infections and haemorrhagic cystitis. These findings suggest that a double‐dose anti‐CD25 mAb regimen without MTX is a promising strategy for aGVHD prophylaxis in haplo‐HSCT (ChiCTR2200060184).

ABSTRACTAimsTo investigate the effect of alcohol consumption on the clinical symptoms in a cohort of Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional study focusing on possible and probable PSP patients in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. Diagnoses and clinical phenotypes were confirmed using the 2017 Movement Disorder Society criteria and the Multiple Allocations eXtinction (MAX) rules. Data on drinking habits and demographics were collected via face‐to‐face interviews and medical records reviews. Clinical scales assessed motor and nonmotor symptoms. Alcohol consumption was categorized into light, moderate, and heavy status. Using multivariate linear regression and adjusting for confounding factors, we analyzed the relationship between alcohol consumption and clinical symptoms.ResultsThe study comprised 128 participants (59.4% male and 45.31% drinkers). Alcohol consumption has been associated with severe PSP clinical symptoms, particularly among male patients. Compared with nondrinkers, consumers of alcohol exhibit significantly more severe motor symptoms and cognitive impairments, particularly in the domains of visuospatial and executive abilities, memory, and language. Moreover, when categorizing individuals based on their intake of alcohol weekly, those with heavy consumption show significantly higher PSP Rating Scale (PSPRS) and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores, as well as significantly lower Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores compared to nonconsumers.ConclusionOur findings indicate an association between heavy alcohol consumption and more pronounced symptoms of PSP, especially cognitive function. It raises the possibility that alcohol intake may play a role in modulating the clinical course of PSP.
A Linguistic–Sensorimotor Model of the Basic‐Level Advantage in Category Verification
Authors: Wingfield Cai , van Hoef Rens , Connell Louise 
Published: December 2024

AbstractPeople are generally more accurate at categorizing objects at the basic level (e.g., dog) than at more general, superordinate categories (e.g., animal). Recent research has suggested that this basic‐level advantage emerges from the linguistic‐distributional and sensorimotor relationship between a category concept and object concept, but the proposed mechanisms have not been subject to a formal computational test. In this paper, we present a computational model of category verification that allows linguistic distributional information and sensorimotor experience to interact in a grounded implementation of a full‐size adult conceptual system. In simulations across multiple datasets, we demonstrate that the model performs the task of category verification at a level comparable to human participants, and—critically—that its operation naturally gives rise to the basic‐level‐advantage phenomenon. That is, concepts are easier to categorize when there is a high degree of overlap in sensorimotor experience and/or linguistic distributional knowledge between category and member concepts, and the basic‐level advantage emerges as an overall behavioral artifact of this linguistic and sensorimotor overlap. Findings support the linguistic–sensorimotor preparation account of the basic‐level advantage and, more broadly, linguistic–sensorimotor theories of the conceptual system.
The Dual Roles of Lamin A/C in Macrophage Mechanotransduction

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTCellular mechanotransduction is a complex physiological process that integrates alterations in the external environment with cellular behaviours. In recent years, the role of the nucleus in mechanotransduction has gathered increased attention. Our research investigated the involvement of lamin A/C, a component of the nuclear envelope, in the mechanotransduction of macrophages under compressive force. We discovered that hydrostatic compressive force induces heterochromatin formation, decreases SUN1/SUN2 levels, and transiently downregulates lamin A/C. Notably, downregulated lamin A/C increased nuclear permeability to yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1), thereby amplifying certain effects of force, such as inflammation induction and proliferation inhibition. Additionally, lamin A/C deficiency detached the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex from nuclear envelope, consequently reducing force‐induced DNA damage and IRF4 expression. In summary, lamin A/C exerted dual effects on macrophage responses to mechanical compression, promoting certain outcomes while inhibiting others. It operated through two distinct mechanisms: enhancing nuclear permeability and impairing intracellular mechanotransmission. The results of this study support the understanding of the mechanisms of intracellular mechanotransduction and may assist in identifying potential therapeutic targets for mechanotransduction‐related diseases.

Published: December 2024

SummaryThe vulva is a periorificial skin area and as such represents a transitional zone with unique functional and physiological characteristics. Knowledge of its anatomy is limited among both the general population and healthcare professionals, and unrealistic expectations of normal proportions are common. Ignorance of anatomical variations can cause unnecessary anxiety. In Germany, specialists in gynecology and obstetrics most commonly treat neoplastic vulvar dermatoses, while chronic inflammatory dermatoses commonly affecting the female genitalia (such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and vitiligo) are typically treated by dermatologists. Both specialties treat infectious vulvar dermatoses and sexually transmitted infections. Certain dermatoses, such as lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and lichen simplex chronicus, tend to affect the vulva preferentially; however, terminology can be confusing. Therefore, this article provides basic information on vulvar anatomy and physiology and summarizes recommendations for the diagnosis and management of the most common vulvar dermatoses, with a special focus on chronic inflammatory dermatoses, to provide a useful guide for all involved specialists in daily practice. Interdisciplinary collaboration and the establishment of dedicated consultation hours may help to improve the clinical care of vulvar dermatoses.
Asymmetric oviposition behaviour between Drosophila suzukii and Drosophila subpulchrella suggests competition for the shared niche in their native range
Authors: Matsuo Takashi 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Release from competitors is one of the mechanisms ascribed to the ecological success of invasive species outside their native range (competitive release hypothesis). However, studies describing the natural competitors of invasive species in their homeland are limited.
Drosophila suzukii, the spotted‐wing drosophila, is an invasive pest of small fruits expanding its range worldwide, whereas Drosophila subpulchrella, the most closely related species to D. suzukii, remains endemic to the native range of D. suzukii. D. subpulchrella is inferior to D. suzukii in terms of the host usage capability, and it has not been considered as a major competitor of D. suzukii.
This study examined the interaction between the two species in egg‐laying behaviour. A field survey revealed that 11% of wild berries were co‐infected by both species. In the laboratory experiments, D. suzukii avoided oviposition substrates that had already been oviposited by either conspecific or D. subpulchrella females, whereas D. subpulchrella did not show any preference/avoidance toward the substrates oviposited by either species.
This asymmetric interaction indicates that D. subpulchrella may have a negative effect on the D. suzukii propagation as a niche‐sharing competitor in their homeland, raising a possibility that the release from competition with D. subpulchrella helped the expansion of D. suzukii populations in invaded areas.
Body size mediates the role of insect seed predators as ecosystem engineers for arthropod communities

Abstract
Arthropods that interact with host plants can function as allogenic ecosystem engineers by modifying plant structures, thereby influencing the availability of resources for other organisms. This study examined the role of insect seed predators as ecosystem engineers within arthropod communities and assessed how body size affects this facilitation process. We hypothesised that fruits with more and larger cavities would be more colonised, since they would increase the probability of colonisation and allow a wider range of sizes of arthropod species to access the fruits, respectively.
We collected tamarind (Tamarindus indica, Fabaceae) fruits infested by different seed predators. Following the emergence of these organisms, we categorised 200 fruits into five categories (40 per category) based on the number and size of entrance/emergence cavities: absent (fruits without cavities), small (one small cavity), medium (one medium cavity), large (one large cavity), and multiple (two or more cavities). The fruits were then taken back to the field for 2 and 4 months at the beginning of rainy season to allow colonisation by secondary arthropods.
We recorded 5237 secondary colonisers from 50 morphospecies and 12 different orders. Ants were the most abundant group (4356 individuals) and utilised the fruits mainly as nesting sites (17 nests).
Overall, tamarind fruits in the absent category had a lower species richness and abundance of arthropods compared to fruits with cavities present. Additionally, fruits with large cavities (medium and large categories) supported greater species richness and abundance than those in the small and absent categories. Finally, multiple cavities in fruits facilitate more arthropod species to colonise them compared with those with just one cavity.
Our findings underscore the critical role of seed predators as ecosystem engineers, significantly shaping the structure of plant‐dwelling arthropod communities. We conclude that the cavity diameter and number of cavities in fruits are key factors influencing this facilitation process.
