Selection of a representative decision recommendation using a set of value functions
Authors: Zhou Kun , Gong Zaiwu , Chen Xiaoqing , Wei Guo 
Published: December 2024

PurposeIn multi-criteria ranking problems, the UTA-like methods can be used to infer the value functions that restore the decision-maker’s (DM’s) indirect preference information. These value functions represent all possible preference systems for the DM. In this paper, we aim to develop a method for determining the complete ranking of alternatives based on all such value functions.Design/methodology/approachWe extend the DM’s inductive preference for value functions in the selection of a representative value function to rankings of alternatives and construct a novel measure referred as the representativeness index to evaluate the performance of rankings relative to the inductive preference. Subsequently, by exploring all value functions that are capable of generating a ranking, two robust representativeness indices are constructed and a simulation algorithm is proposed for calculating the robust representativeness index.FindingsDetermining the ranking based on the representative value function can be seen as selecting the ranking with the largest representativeness index. Additionally, we find through a case study that the ranking determined based on robust representativeness indices has good robustness in the sense of inductive preferences.Originality/valueThe inductive preference is a manifestation of the DM’s preference system. This paper proposes a method for measuring the performance of rankings relative to inductive preferences. The performance of a ranking is defined as the performance of all value functions that can produce that ranking relative to the inductive preference. In turn, it is possible to identify the ranking that best matches the DM’s preference system.
Social media use and loneliness among adolescents: the moderating role of media literacy
Authors: Kim Yesolran , Lee Mina 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study investigates the relationship between social media use and loneliness among adolescents and the moderating role of media literacy in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes secondary cross-sectional data from the Korea Media Panel Survey conducted in 2021 by the Korea Information Society Development Institute. The sample comprised 480 Korean adolescents aged 13–18 years who had experience using social media.FindingsThe results showed that social media use was positively associated with adolescents’ loneliness and that media literacy moderated this relationship. Adolescents with low media literacy felt lonelier with increased social media use, while those with high media literacy felt less lonely as social media use increased. For those with average media literacy, social media use had no effect on loneliness.Originality/valueThe findings suggest that media literacy can serve as a protective factor against the negative effects of social media use, in particular, adolescent loneliness. This study underscores the importance of media literacy education and interventions by parents, educators and policymakers for adolescents.
What are the facts that affect the green investment funds and green entrepreneurship?
Authors: Miraz Mahadi Hasan 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Green investment funds are still imperative in clarifying the fundamental components of their relationship to sustainability. This study aims to investigate the impact of different factors, such as green product design and innovation, green product entry barriers and green environmental awareness, on the success of green investment funds projects to finance environmentally friendly products. The research also investigates how green investment funds facilitate these factors to encourage environmentally sustainable business.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper used a questionnaire to collect insights from 210 green entrepreneurs in Asia, Africa, Europe and America. The data were then investigated using statistical tools, such as quantitative analysis of green entrepreneur surveys collected from various industries. The relationship between green product design and innovation, barriers to entry, environmental awareness and green entrepreneurship performance was investigated using partial least squares structural equation modelling, with green investment funds as a mediator.

Findings
The results indicate that every construct/variable included in the study supported the success of the sustainable business. The observation was made that the development phase tends to diminish the positive relationship between the success of green investment funds and green product codesign strategies. Implementing green product design and innovation improves the success of a green firm. Also, the progress of such companies might be hindered by entry barriers, and corporate performance is improved by environmentalism. This study found the role of green investment funds in promoting product innovation and positive environmental outcomes while reducing barriers to entry.

Significance of the study
Given these results, this work provides a theoretical explanation. Also, it gives doable recommendations for more successful green investment funds of environmentally friendly goods. The analysis emphasises the need for green product innovation and investment funds to mitigate entry obstacles. Corporate entities, investors and lawmakers receive pragmatic guidance on sustainable business practices.

Originality/value
This research, unique because of its multidisciplinary methodology and theoretical advances, examines the relationship between business, finance and sustainability. It provides valuable insights for academics, professionals and decision-makers, enhancing the understanding of green investment and entrepreneurship and offering practical global sustainable economic growth strategies. This paper investigates the impact of green investment funds on product innovation, entry obstacles, environmental consciousness and the success of green entrepreneurs. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is one of the limited numbers that models these features, enhancing the precision of green project success information.
CSR and its impact on employees’ emotions: social information processing
Authors: Subba Deepak 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in reducing employees’ negative emotions. Based on social information processing, a new conceptual framework was developed and tested in the Indian context.

Design/methodology/approach
Cross-sectional design was used in the study. A total of 240 managers of financial institutions were surveyed through a self-administered questionnaire, and the responses were collected using a convenience sampling technique.

Findings
The findings indicated that CSR induces compassion and reduces employees’ negative emotions. Contrary to expectations, compassion did not emerge as a mediator in the relationship between CSR and negative emotions.

Originality/value
The findings contribute to the literature by scrutinizing the persuading influence of CSR on employees’ negative emotions directly and indirectly through compassion. Furthermore, this study also tested the moderating effects of positive emotion in the relationship between CSR and negative emotions. The linkage between CSR and negative emotions was established by introducing the social information processing mechanism, adding another novelty to the literature.

AbstractThis is the English version of the 2024 clinical practice guidelines for the management of atopic dermatitis (AD). AD is a disease characterized by relapsing eczema with pruritus as a primary lesion. A crucial aspect of AD treatment is the prompt induction of remission via the suppression of existing skin inflammation and pruritus. To achieve this, topical anti‐inflammatory drugs, such as topical corticosteroids, tacrolimus ointment, delgocitinib ointment, and difamilast ointment, have been used. However, the following treatments should be considered in addition to topical therapy for patients with refractory moderate‐to‐severe AD: oral cyclosporine, subcutaneous injections of biologics (dupilumab, nemolizumab, tralokinumab), oral Janus kinase inhibitors (baricitinib, upadacitinib, abrocitinib), and phototherapy. In these revised guidelines, descriptions of five new drugs, namely, difamilast, nemolizumab, tralokinumab, upadacitinib, and abrocitinib, have been added. The guidelines present recommendations to review clinical research articles, evaluate the balance between the advantages and disadvantages of medical activities, and optimize medical activity‐related patient outcomes with respect to several important points requiring decision‐making in clinical practice.
Cement and displacement
Authors: Rubaii Kali 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDisplaced people have not escaped war and do not live apart from it. This is evident in the material life of internally displaced Iraqi farmers seeking refuge in a concrete construction site, downstream from a cement‐processing plant in Iraqi Kurdistan. There, one family has repeatedly tried to build a traditional tannour (bread oven) out of unworkable, cement‐infused materials in their environment. As their experience shows, physical brushes with the cement industry, rather than kinetic violence like bombs and battles, lie at the heart of what war is. Through ambiguously embracing cement's contaminating qualities, displaced people open a space to reckon with their predicament.
A vicarious scar
Authors: Routon Erin 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDifficult challenges are an unavoidable aspect of doing ethnographic fieldwork in sensitive spaces or on sensitive subjects. A less commonly discussed problem, however, is the impact that vicarious or secondary traumas can have on researchers. Here, I discuss my experience of secondary trauma in conducting research with legal advocates in family‐detention facilities in the US. Even in work in which trauma is centered, I show, the traumatic “wounds” of fieldwork can go unidentified, to the researcher's own detriment. I echo calls for our discipline to better recognize how ethnographers experience trauma, which results in part from continued disciplinary norms, and to reconsider our work as care. Additionally, I call for further attention to the more complex psycho/somatic traumas that can result from field research.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the long‐term effects of implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c on the biomechanical and morphological properties of crystalline lenses in Chinese adults with high myopia using Brillouin microscopy (BM).MethodsIn this case–control study, 102 highly myopic eyes from 102 patients (18–48 years, preoperative spherical equivalent (SE): −6.00–−21.00 D) were categorised into ICL and control groups, matched by age, axial length (AL), lens thickness (LT) and preoperative SE. The biomechanical and morphological properties of the lenses were measured by BM. Ocular and anterior segment parameters, including AL, anterior chamber depth, volume, angle and LT, were assessed using Pentacam and IOL Master 700.ResultsNo significant differences were observed in Brillouin morphological parameters between the ICL and control groups, including the width of top plateau (WTP), width of bottom plateau (WBP), bottom‐top (B‐T), slope of anterior cortex (SAC), and slope of posterior cortex (SPC) (all p > 0.05). A slight decrease in biomechanical metrics (height of plateau, Height) was observed in the ICL group, compared with the control group (p = 0.012). Linear regression analysis revealed age‐related changes in morphological metrics among all participants, including WTP (p = 0.0001), WBP (p = 0.0001), and SPC (p < 0.0001), while B‐T and SAC were age‐independent (both p > 0.05). No age‐related changes in Height were observed (p > 0.05).ConclusionsICL V4c did not significantly alter lens morphology as assessed using BM. A slight decrease in lenticular biomechanics was observed after ICL implantation.

Published: December 2024

AbstractAimThis national study focused on the individualised Heart Observation (HOBS) mobile phone app, which helps the parents of infants with severe congenital heart disease (CHD) with discharge preparations and decision making at home.MethodsWe enrolled two groups of parents from 2021 to 2023, during their child's initial hospitalisation at Oslo University Hospital, Norway. Measurements were carried out at baseline and one and four months after discharge. The study examined 73 mothers, who assessed the usefulness and stress‐related impact of either printed materials or the HOBS app, as the fathers' responses were insufficient.ResultsThe HOBS app was significantly more useful than the printed information, with regard to discharge preparations, follow up at home and ongoing decision making, particularly if the infants had sustained cardiac impairment. The average total usefulness scores were 23.9/35 (95% CI 21.6–26.1) versus 17.0/35 (95% CI 14.1–20.0), respectively. Initial stress significantly decreased from baseline in both groups and elevated awareness of deterioration did not increase stress in the HOBS group.ConclusionMothers who used the HOBS app found it significantly more useful than the controls who received printed information, particularly if their infant had sustained cardiac impairment. Elevated awareness of deterioration did not increase stress.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study aims to investigate ancient Indian copper metallurgy based on selected copper artifacts recovered from India. The collected objects belong to the period c. 1200 BCE to 400 CE. The paper discusses the analysis of seven artifacts from two archaeological sites (Agiabir and Raipura) around the Varanasi region in Northern India. The study explores the manufacturing techniques and alloying practices applied to the artifacts by analyzing the excavated objects using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The microstructure of the artifacts revealed the practice of annealing, casting, and forging. Elemental analysis of these objects shows that most of the artifacts are copper–tin alloys, having varying amounts of tin. This study indicates that the tin amount has been varied according to the object's functionality.

AbstractBrain injury represents the leading cause of mortality and disability after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from cardiac arrest (CA), in which the accumulation of dying cells aggravate tissue injury by releasing proinflammatory intracellular components. Microglia play an essential role in maintaining brain homeostasis via milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG‐E8)‐opsonized efferocytosis, the engulfment of dying cells and debris. This study investigates whether potentiating microglia efferocytosis by MFG‐E8 provides neuroprotection after CA/CPR. After 8‐minute asphyxial CA/CPR, male adult C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to receive recombinant mouse MFG‐E8 (rmMFG‐E8) or vehicle. We evaluated the survival and neurological deficits of mice, along with histological damages, phagocytosis index of dying cells, and microglia polarization. A transcriptome analysis was conducted to explore the downstream molecules modulated by MFG‐E8. In mice resuscitated from CA, rmMFG‐E8 administration significantly enhanced the efferocytosis of apoptotic cells by microglia, improved the survival and neurological function of mice, and attenuated neuropathological injuries. Additionally, rmMFG‐E8 induced a prominent alteration in microglial gene expression and promoted a shift from a proinflammatory phenotype to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype. Moreover, rmMFG‐E8 treatment induced up‐regulation of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), and IRF7 gene silencing largely reversed the neuroprotective effects of rmMFG‐E8. This study demonstrates that rmMFG‐E8 improves survival and neurological outcomes after CA/CPR by enhancing microglial efferocytosis and reshaping the inflammatory microenvironment in brain tissue. Potentiating MFG‐E8 is a promising strategy to combat post‐CA brain injury.
Implications and Identification of Specific Learning Disability Using Weighted Ensemble Learning Model
Authors: Alzahrani Sultan , Algahtani Faris 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundLearning disabilities, categorized as neurodevelopmental disorders, profoundly impact the cognitive development of young children. These disabilities affect text comprehension, reading, writing and problem‐solving abilities. Specific learning disabilities (SLDs), most notably dyslexia and dysgraphia, can significantly hinder students' academic achievement. The timely identification of such students is crucial in providing them with essential assistance and facilitating the development of skills required to overcome their limitations.MethodsThe proposed model, which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI), plays a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing SLDs. This system allows students suspected of having SLD to engage in personalized exams and unique tasks tailored to their SLDs. The data generated from these activities, including performance scores and completion times, are fed into the proposed weighted ensemble learning (WEL) variation of the XGBoost (XGB) algorithm. The WEL‐XGB model is designed to detect learning challenges by analysing these datasets, even when dealing with imbalanced data.ResultsThe WEL‐XGB model has been successfully integrated into a user‐friendly application for assessing reading and writing impairments. The proposed model not only identifies SLD but also offers tailored recommendations for effective instructional strategies for parents and educators. Comparative analyses with other machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models demonstrate the superiority of the WEL‐XGB model, which achieved an accuracy rate of 98.7% for dyslexia datasets and 99.08% for dysgraphia datasets.ConclusionThe proposed WEL‐XGB model effectively identifies learning disabilities in children, offering a powerful tool for both diagnosis and instructional support. Its high accuracy rates underscore its potential to revolutionize the assessment and intervention process for dyslexia and dysgraphia, benefiting students, parents and educators alike.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of auditory and visual distraction interventions on patient discomfort, pain and anxiety during office‐based otolaryngologic upper airway procedures.Data SourcesLiterature searches were done through Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Lilacs, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature.Review MethodsThe protocol was registered in PROSPERO on August 17th 2022, under Registration number CRD42020204354.ResultsWe identified 138 records; two randomised controlled trials using virtual reality as a distraction technique in adults and one in children were included. All studies had some concerns regarding risk of bias. In adults, anxiety was lower in the virtual reality group than in the standard of care, (mean difference −16.72, 95% CI −27.19 to −6.24, p = 0.002, I
2 = 0%). There was no difference in procedure related pain between groups, (mean difference −0.28, 95% CI −1.24 to 0.68, p = 0.57, I
2 = 10%). There was no difference in satisfaction between groups (standardised mean difference 0.18, 95% CI −0.22 to 0.58, p = 0.37, I
2 = 0%). Only one Paediatric study was included hence no meta‐analysis was done. Anxiety and pain were lower and satisfaction was higher in the group using virtual reality.ConclusionsThe use of virtual reality distraction in addition to standard analgesia during office‐based otolaryngology upper airway procedures reduced anxiety in adults. It did not decrease pain or increase the level of patient satisfaction. In the paediatric population, there is a reported benefit for procedural anxiety, pain and satisfaction.
