Strategic insights: evaluating SDG 4, SDG 8, SDG 9 and SDG 16 in driving sustainable growth in the global FinTech landscape
Authors: Pauliukevičienė Gintarė , Stankevičienė Jelena , Binh Do 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
To strategically evaluate the sustainable development of the FinTech industry on a global scale, which has not been done to date. This study aims to address this scientific problem and empirically analyze the contribution of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and their indicators to the sustainable growth in the FinTech sector, whose impact is fundamentally changing the financial services sector, considering perspectives from business, academia and the public sector. The main contribution of this paper is, therefore, the identification of strategically relevant sustainability indicators and factors for defining and assessing the sustainability of the FinTech industry at the national level, and their application in further research and practice globally.

Design/methodology/approach
Multicriteria simple additive weighting is used in quantitative empirical research.

Findings
Three primary conclusions are indicated by the study’s results: the SDGs 9 “Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure,” SDG 4 “Quality Education,” SDG 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth” and SDG 16 “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions” are the most important for the sustainable growth of the FinTech industry. Unrestricted public access to FinTech and an educated working-age population are the main factors influencing the sustainable development of the FinTech industry. Northern Europe, with Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden leading the way, has the best sustainable development results related to the FinTech industry.

Practical implications
The results of the study are practically useful and applicable both to policymakers seeking to strategically bolster sustainable growth within the framework of the FinTech industry, and to FinTech companies conducting strategic development internationally.

Originality/value
The study initiates a discussion in the scientific community about what constitutes sustainable development of the global FinTech industry, which is currently not defined.
The Iatrogenic Consequences of Medicalising Grief: Resetting the Research Agenda
Authors: Gurley‐Green Sarah , Cosgrove Lisa , Kostic Milutin , Koa Lauren , McPherson Susan 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTWhen the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐5) was published in 2013, there was a firestorm of controversy about the elimination of the bereavement exclusion. Proponents of this change and of the proposed “complicated grief” designation believed that this change would help clinicians recognise major depression in the context of recent bereavement. Other researchers and clinicians have raised concerns about medicalising grief. In 2022 “prolonged grief disorder” (PGD) was officially included in the DSM‐5‐TR in the trauma‐ and stressor‐related disorders section. Not surprisingly, there has been a push to identify biomarkers and to use neuroimaging to identify the neurobiological basis of PGD. Some researchers have even suggested that PGD is a ‘reward circuit disorder’ akin to addiction and that naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, may be a promising treatment. The purpose of this paper is to show how medicalising grief reinforces a research agenda dedicated to the search for pharmaceutical and psychological ‘magic bullets.’ Following George and Whitehouse (2021), we propose that an ecopsychosocial approach—one that incorporates environmental and contextual factors—is needed.
The persisting legacies of imperial elites among contemporary top‐ranking Vietnamese politicians
Authors: Vu Tien Manh , Yamada Hiroyuki 
Published: November 2024

AbstractOur study investigates how the legacies of Vietnamese imperial elites continue to affect top‐ranking politicians in Vietnam. The study compares a list of people who passed the imperial examination (1075–1919) at the national level with a list of currently active top‐ranking politicians in Vietnam (1930–2022) by matching their home districts. Using an instrumental variable approach, we find that those living in the same home districts as imperial elites are more likely to be top‐ranking communists. Possible mechanisms for these strong and persistent legacies based on home district connections include a historical culture of striving to reach the upper echelons of Vietnamese society, a belief in meritocracy, and using graduate degrees to signal one's talent.
Carrots and sticks: How voter loyalty and electoral opportunities shape parties' policy priorities in Europe
Authors: HABERSACK FABIAN 
Published: November 2024

AbstractPolitical parties often adjust their policy agendas in response to changing electoral landscapes, balancing the need to appeal to new voters against the importance of retaining loyal supporters. While these patterns are generally well‐documented in the literature, the specific impact of voter availability on the electoral market remains underexamined. This article investigates how electoral opportunities – i.e., potential to mobilize new voters – and loyalty – i.e., likelihood of retaining current supporters – influence parties' decisions to expand or narrow their policy focus. To analyze this, the study integrates three decades of population data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems and European Election Studies with data on parties' issue focus obtained from the Manifesto Project. The analysis shows that parties strategically balance their focus between core and peripheral issues based on the anticipated utility of each approach. This strategy, however, depends on the stability of voter loyalty: expansion into new issues occurs primarily when voter loyalty is robust, although strong opportunities alone can also encourage agenda broadening. These findings contribute to understanding the calculated risks parties take in adjusting their issue attention and highlight why policy adjustments often backfire; namely, when misaligned with voters' availability on the market. This study speaks to the literature on party competition and representation in Europe, illuminating how electoral dynamics shape parties' policy focus.

Published: November 2024

AbstractObjectivesTo determine the frequency and clinical consequences of discrepancies in skeletal radiograph interpretation between emergency and radiology doctors in an Australian ED.MethodsWe reviewed the records of adult and paediatric patients assessed with skeletal radiography in an ED in Victoria, Australia over 3 months (January to March 2022). Epidemiological data, the interpretation of the radiograph by ED and radiology doctors, and clinical management of the patient were recorded to determine interpretation discrepancies and the consequences of these.ResultsThere were 2359 unique skeletal radiographs in 1576 patient presentations during the study period. Of these, 140 (6%) had a discrepancy. Where a discrepancy existed, 47% of the ED interpretation reported a fracture and/or dislocation which was not present in the radiology interpretation (false positive), whereas the remaining (53%) were attributed to a missed fracture and/or dislocation (false negative). Thirty‐five discrepancies (2%) required a change in patient management and were therefore clinically significant. The most commonly affected body region was the elbow, where 15% of radiographs were discrepant. Pathology was more often missed when multiple abnormalities were present on the same radiograph (odds ratio = 4.2, 95% confidence interval = 2.5–6.8).ConclusionThe rate of clinically significant discrepancies in the interpretation of skeletal radiographs by emergency medicine doctors is low. This data support using the ED interpretation of radiographs to guide initial management as safe practice.
The Mixed Blessing of Work‐Related Use of Information and Communication Technologies After Hours on Cyberloafing

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThe pervasiveness of the work‐related use of information and communication technologies after hours (W_ICTs) has raised concerns about its impact on employees. However, research on the relationship between W_ICTs and employee outcomes presented inconsistent findings. To address this issue, this study draws on the cognitive appraisal theory of stress to explore the double‐edged sword effect of W_ICTs on employee cyberloafing and its boundary condition. By analyzing three‐wave survey data from 340 employees in China, this study found that when employees have high job control, W_ICTs is positively associated with their needs satisfaction, which can decrease their cyberloafing. Conversely, when employees have low job control, W_ICTs is positively associated with workplace anxiety, which can increase their cyberloafing. This study contributes to understanding of the mixed effects of W_ICTs on employee behavior in the workplace. Furthermore, this study identifies an important boundary condition that can shape the consequences of W_ICTs for employees. This study provides valuable implications to organizations for effectively managing W_ICTs and mitigating potential negative outcomes in the Asia Pacific context.
Unpacking the Mixed Influences of Sustainable Human Resource Management on Employee Resilience: Effects of Challenge–Hindrance Appraisal and Trait Mindfulness
Authors: Shao Danping , Ji Yang , Zhou Ruyi , Liu Tingting 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTGrounded on the transactional theory of stress, this study seeks to establish a theoretical framework that simultaneously investigates the benefits and costs of sustainable human resource management (HRM) in developing employee resilience through the parallel paths of challenge–hindrance appraisal. Also, this study investigates the moderation role of trait mindfulness on the sustainable HRM–employee resilience link. We collected three‐wave data from 348 employees in Shenzhen, Changsha, and Wuhan in China. Our results have acknowledged that there are two countervailing pathways linking sustainable HRM to employee resilience: a positive path via challenge appraisal and a negative path via hindrance appraisal. Additionally, we elucidated that trait mindfulness buffers the negative indirect effect of sustainable HRM on employee resilience via hindrance appraisal. Interestingly, we failed to verify the strengthening effect of trait mindfulness on the link between sustainable HRM and challenge appraisal.
‘In God We Trust. All Others Must Bring Data’: Unpacking the Influence of Human Resource Analytics on the Strategic Recognition of Human Resource Management

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTExisting literature underscores the potential of human resource analytics (HRA) to enhance the strategic recognition of human resource management (HRM) within organisations. However, there has been limited focus on how HRA practitioners attempt to realise this potential. Our study investigates how HRA practitioners use HRA in their daily work to enhance their strategic recognition. Drawing on practice theory and a range of qualitative data, including expert interviews and observations, our analysis not only shows that implementing HRA offers opportunities for improved strategic recognition but also reveals that HRM practitioners showcase the strategic relevance of their analytics capabilities through four forms of tactical manoeuvring: capturing contextual challenges, using guerilla tactics, busting myths and running stealth projects. Our findings contribute to the literature on HRA and the broader discourse on HRM's role and its strategic recognition.
Current and potential future uses of sorghum to increase nutrient density for human foods
Authors: McGinnis Margaret J. , Webster Maeve 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis review attempts to set forth the current uses and benefits of sorghum ingredients (sorghum syrup, grain, and flour) and implications for future potential uses of sorghum for human consumption. Additionally, this review aims to direct future innovation, research, and development for this grain in all forms, with a particular focus on increasing the nutritional quality of food for human onsumption. Sorghum is an ancient grain that has been underutilized in terms of its nutrient and antioxidant density and functional properties. Sorghum syrup is a sweetener that has a complex flavor profile lending a harmonious balance of sweet and savory in product formulations and provides a lower glycemic index and a higher antioxidant content compared to other commonly used sweeteners. Sorghum syrup has great potential uses within the beverage category, specifically coffee, as a clean‐label sweetener with a complex flavor profile. Currently, with growing interest in gluten‐free alcohol, specialty brews, and sorghum's shorter growing season compared to barley and wheat, sorghum grain is being used more frequently in alcohol and no‐ and low‐alcohol beverage production. Additionally, sorghum grain is being utilized in products as a non‐wheat, nutrient‐dense baking grain that has a glycemic index lower than wheat, is high in resistant starch, and contains significantly more antioxidants. Other potential applications for sorghum ingredients include a non‐synthetic food dye and a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to plastic films and coatings for foods. Sorghum should be considered an ingredient in product formulation, especially in light of its ability to withstand drought and high temperatures seen in global warming.
Overlooked histories in ageing research: Pioneering women at the foundation of our field
Authors: Ezcurra Marina , Selman Colin , Tullet Jennifer , Woodling Nathan 
Published: November 2024

AbstractA list of this decade's most prominent names in ageing research would undoubtedly include many women who have led the field in recent years. While the field, and science in general, still have far to go in achieving gender parity in opportunities and recognition, we can celebrate the progress made to date. However, the longer ‘history of the field’ that many of us present in our classrooms, conference halls and writings often tends to be dominated by men. Although numerous men have made fundamental observations that have shaped our understanding of ageing from both a mechanistic and evolutionary perspective, the unfortunate reality is that women making similar contributions have not received equal recognition throughout much of our field's history. As a starting point for wider representation and further conversations in this area, we present here a short list of women—Marjory Warren, Lillian Jane Martin, Margaret Alexander Ohlson, Rebeca Gerschman and Marion J. Lamb—whose contributions were foundational to ageing research in the 20th century. Their work spanned theoretical, experimental and clinical insight into the biology of ageing—and yet their names are too seldom mentioned when introducing our field. We hope this list can be a starting point for a more inclusive recognition of the diverse scientists who helped pave the way for our field today.

AbstractIntroductionPlacental‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano‐organelles that facilitate intercellular communication between the feto‐placental unit and the mother. We evaluated a novel Multiple Microarray analyzer for identifying surface markers on plasma EVs that predict preterm delivery and preeclampsia compared to term delivery controls.Material and MethodsIn this prospective exploratory cohort study pregnant women between 24 and 40 gestational weeks with preterm delivery (n = 16), preeclampsia (n = 19), and matched term delivery controls (n = 15) were recruited from Bnai Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel. Plasma samples were tested using a multiple microarray analyzer. Glass slides with 17 antibodies against EV surface receptors ‐ were incubated with raw plasma samples, detected by biotinylated secondary antibodies specific to EVs or placental EVs (PEVs), and labeled with cyanine 5–streptavidin. PBS and whole human IgG served as controls. The fluorescent signal ratio to negative controls was log 2 transformed and analyzed for sensitivity and specificity using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUROC). Best pair ratios of general EVs/PEVs were used for univariate analysis, and top pairs were combined for multivariate analysis. Results were validated by comparison with EVs purified using standard procedures.ResultsHeatmaps differentiated surface profiles of preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and term delivery receptors on total EVs and PEVs. Similar results were obtained with enriched EVs and EVs from raw plasma. Univariate analyses identified markers predicting preterm delivery and preeclampsia over term delivery controls with AUC >0.6 and sensitivity >50% at 80% specificity. Combining the best markers in a multivariate model, preeclampsia prediction over term delivery had an AUC of 0.89 (95% CI: 0.72–1.0) with 90% sensitivity and 90% specificity, marked by inflammation (TNF RII), relaxation (placenta protein 13 (PP13)), and immune‐modulation (LFA1) receptors. Preterm delivery prediction over term delivery had an AUC of 0.97 (0.94–1.0), 84% sensitivity, and 90% specificity, marked by cell adhesion (ICAM), immune suppression, and general EV markers (CD81, CD82, and Alix). Preeclampsia prediction over preterm delivery had an AUC of 0.91 (0.79–0.99) with 80% sensitivity and 90% specificity with markers for complement activation (C1q) and autoimmunity markers.ConclusionsThe new, robust EV Multi‐Array analyzer and methodology offer a simple, fast diagnostic tool that reveals novel surface markers for major obstetric syndromes.
Prognostic impact of subepithelial Helicobacter pylori infection on clinical outcomes in patients with dyspepsia
Authors: Supakatitham Chalermpak , Loharamtaweethong Kongsak 
Published: November 2024

Several in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori can invade epithelial cells and the lamina propria, potentially leading to underdiagnosis due to its subepithelial location. This retrospective study investigated H. pylori infection patterns and their impact on clinical improvement. Gastric tissue biopsies from 346 patients (August to December 2021) were studied using four commercially available immunohistochemical antibodies (TMDU, BioGenex, Cell Marque, and DAKO). The bacteria were graded based on their surface epithelial and subepithelial locations and then combined to establish an overall pattern. BioGenex, the antibody with the highest diagnostic performance due to its superior detection of surface and subepithelial cases, was selected as the gold standard for determining study outcomes. The isolated subepithelial H. pylori pattern was found to be an independent unfavorable prognostic feature. Patients with this pattern had the worst clinical outcomes compared to groups with isolated surface epithelial or other mixed patterns, which did not significantly differ. Subepithelial H. pylori should be included in pathological reports alongside the updated Sydney System. Further research should explore whether its eradication could improve treatment outcomes.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundDoubts regarding vaccine effectiveness may prompt people to decide against a seasonal influenza vaccination. While fact boxes show the effectiveness in terms of cases prevented, people often lack knowledge about important contextual factors, for example, why the vaccine formulation needs to be updated annually, the vaccine mechanism and relevance of the antigen–virus match. Adding such contextual information could improve effectiveness perceptions.ObjectiveIn a preregistered online experiment, we tested whether explaining the seasonality's relevance and mechanisms behind influenza vaccine effectiveness affects people's perceptions of influenza vaccination. We compared two means of explanation (an additional expository text vs. a narrative offering an analogy to improve understanding of vaccine effectiveness) with a control condition simply providing effectiveness information.DesignUnvaccinated participants (N = 1554) were assigned to one of three conditions: (1) fact box only (providing the influenza vaccine's benefit–risk profile; control group), (2) fact box plus informational expository text or (3) fact box plus narrative analogy.MethodsAfter the experimental manipulations, participants rated the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing influenza disease and answered knowledge questions. Effects on perceived risk of vaccination and intention to get vaccinated were also explored.ResultsReading the expository text increased the perceived vaccine effectiveness and overall knowledge, while reading the narrative analogy only increased the perceived vaccine effectiveness compared with the control condition. All other dependent variables were similar in both text conditions.ConclusionsExtended explanations of vaccine effectiveness can increase perceived vaccine effectiveness. The text format chosen can affect outcomes, such as vaccine‐related perceptions or knowledge.

AbstractFraming the same information in different ways can influence consumers’ decision making. This study assesses the impacts of information framing tools on consumer preference for a relatively novel food biotechnology tool – Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR). Using an online survey of U.S. orange juice consumers, we randomized consumers into a control and two treatment groups (gain vs. loss framing) and used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to measure and compare consumers’ preferences across treatments. We find that both frames are effective in reducing the degree of aversion towards CRISPR, but the gain frame carries a stronger effect.
