Probability weighting and equity premium prediction: Investing with optimism
Authors: Azimi Mehran , Ghazi Soroush , Schneider Mark 
Published: November 2024

AbstractEmpirically motivated theoretical models of probability weighting which overweight tail events are finding many applications in finance. However, probability weighting has not yet been applied to equity premium prediction or to constructing optimal market timing investment strategies. We show that a measure of market optimism from a representative agent asset pricing model with probability weighting can be used to construct optimal dynamic investment strategies that outperform the buy‐and‐hold strategy and strategies generated by 17 leading equity premium predictors. We further show that this theory‐based measure of market optimism predicts the equity premium and market Sharpe ratio in‐sample and out‐of‐sample. The predictability is not subsumed by disaster probabilities, market sentiment, or market skewness. Our results indicate that our theory‐based measure provides a distinct channel for predicting aggregate stock returns.
Crossing the line: Mutualism between invasive species at the terrestrial–aquatic interface

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Positive interactions such as mutualism and facilitation between invasive species can magnify their impact on invaded ecosystems. Yet, few studies have explicitly evaluated symbioses between invasive species that span the terrestrial–aquatic interface.

We conducted two experiments to investigate the fitness outcomes (growth and germination) of frugivory and ichthyochory involving invasive channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) that consume fruits and pass seeds of invasive Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia).

Our results indicate that catfish frugivory of olive fruit provides an energy source that allows the catfish to maintain body mass and seeds passed by catfish were four times more likely to germinate than untreated seeds, suggesting catfish are viable olive seed dispersers.

As such, we concluded that the interaction of frugivory of invasive olive fruits by invasive catfish and ichthyochory resulting from passed olive seeds constitute a facultative mutualism spanning the aquatic–terrestrial interface.

The impact of the olive–catfish mutualism on the abundance, persistence and spread of both invasive species requires further study. Researchers and managers should consider the potential of positive interactions across ecotones to facilitate invasions

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundObservational studies have reported inconsistent relationships between migraine and the risk of intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).ObjectiveTo determine whether genetic liability to migraine is associated with risk of intracranial aneurysm and aneurysmal SAH.MethodsThis study was designed as a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Genetic associations with migraine were obtained from a large‐scale meta‐analysis of five population and clinic‐based genome‐wide association studies of migraine (102,084 cases and 771,257 controls of European ancestry). Genetic associations with intracranial aneurysm and SAH were obtained from a meta‐analysis of 22 population‐based genome‐wide association studies (7495 cases and 71,934 controls of European ancestry). Findings were corroborated by sensitivity analyses and replicated in an independent sample of combined cases of intracranial aneurysm and SAH (3529 cases and 234,948 controls of Asian ancestry from the Biobank Japan and China Kadoorie Biobanks). In secondary analyses, we investigated the outcomes of extracranial aneurysm in the FinnGen and UK Biobank cohorts (up to 7466 combined cases of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm).ResultsGenetic liability to migraine was associated with increased risk of the combined outcome of unruptured intracranial aneurysm and SAH (odds ratio [OR] of outcome per doubling in migraine liability 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06–1.35; p = 0.005). This finding was replicated in an independent sample (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.02–1.30; p = 0.027), and there were similar associations across the component outcomes of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.01–1.42; p = 0.035) and SAH (OR 1.18, 95% 1.04–1.33; p = 0.008). These findings were consistent in sensitivity analyses robust to violations of the MR assumptions. In reverse MR analyses, genetic liability to intracranial aneurysm was not associated with migraine (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99–1.07; p = 0.141). In a secondary analysis, there were similar associations of genetic liability to migraine with all forms of aortic aneurysm (OR for combined thoracic and aortic aneurysm 1.18, 95% CI 1.10–1.27; p = 8.49 × 10−6).ConclusionGenetic liability to migraine was associated with increased risk of intracranial and extracranial aneurysms, supporting a causal relationship between liability to migraine and these traits. Further work is needed to identify the biological mechanisms and clinical relevance of these findings.

AbstractAimThis study investigates the impact of intracavitary pressure levels on pain, visualization quality, and procedure duration in office hysteroscopy, comparing standard pressures (60–100 mmHg) with high pressures (110–150 mmHg).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study involving non‐menopausal women undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy at a tertiary clinic. Patients were categorized into two groups based on intracavitary pressure: the standard pressure group (60–100 mmHg; n = 72) and the high‐pressure group (110–150 mmHg; n = 37). Outcomes measured included pain scores, procedure duration, and fluid volume used. Logistic regression was employed to identify risk factors for severe pain.ResultsThe high‐pressure group demonstrated significantly shorter procedure durations compared to the standard pressure group (96.56 ± 34.36 vs. 163.00 ± 61.78 s, p < 0.001). Pain scores were lower in the high‐pressure group (VAS 3.00 [0.00–7.00] vs. 3.50 [0.00–9.00], p = 0.041). Additionally, high‐pressure procedures used less fluid compared to standard pressure procedures, which helps to reduce the risk of fluid‐related complications. Logistic regression analysis identified higher fluid volumes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.005, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.001–1.010) and the need for pressure increases (OR = 3.914, 95% CI = 1.157–13.238) as significant risk factors for severe pain.ConclusionsHigher intracavitary pressure levels (above 100 mmHg) in office hysteroscopy are associated with reduced pain, shorter procedure durations, and decreased fluid use, enhancing visualization and procedural efficiency while maintaining patient comfort.

Published: November 2024

AbstractUterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. Declining fertility, combined with increasing overweight and diabetes, might be some of the causes accountable for the rapid increase in the incidence of endometrial cancer (EC). Around 5% of EC are diagnosed in women aged under 40 years. We present a case of EC in a 36‐year‐old woman confirmed by hysteroscopy‐directed biopsy, who became pregnant before receiving any primary treatment. She had no other significant medical or family history of interest. Image staging found a uterine‐confined disease. The pregnancy had a normal course. The patient refused any type of treatment after delivery; thus, she was closely monitored every 3 months. No signs of disease recurrence were detected during the follow‐up. Pregnancy may be possible with early EC and it might an effective treatment for the disease in this case. The pregnancy acts as treatment and the gestation could continue until term without complications, in this patient diagnosed with EC.

AbstractPurposeThis study investigates the experiences of one rural community in Central Pennsylvania following the closure of its singular pharmacy and primary health care facility. It aims to understand community members’ responses and adaptations to declining health care accessibility and broader implications for rural health policy and practice.MethodsEmploying a qualitative case study design, researchers conducted 26 in‐depth interviews from May to December 2022. Interviews were grounded in a phenomenological approach and focused on participants’ perceptions of their community and experiences accessing health care. Data were analyzed thematically following a coding reliability approach.FindingsThe closure of the health care facilities resulted in significant social and economic impacts, particularly among vulnerable groups, such as older adults, people with disabilities, and working‐class families. Participants reported increased reliance on their social support networks to access care, delays in seeking care due to the strain from longer travel distances, and loss of familiar and trusted care providers. We also found an over‐reliance on local emergency medical services for routine care. Although the community demonstrated resilience through the use of social networks, some adaptations carried health risks, including delayed care and unmonitored use of alternative remedies.ConclusionsThis study highligths the need for health care policies that address the immediate loss of services and support the social networks and economic stability that rural communities rely on in the absence of local health care facilities. This research contributes insights for policymakers, health care providers, and community leaders working to support rural communities facing similar health care losses.
Leaf growth in third dimension: a perspective of leaf thickness from genetic regulation to ecophysiology
Authors: Aneja Prakshi , Sanyal Rajarshi , Ranjan Aashish 
Published: November 2024

SummaryLeaf thickness, the leaf growth in the third dimension as quantified by the distance between the adaxial and abaxial surface, is an indispensable aspect of leaf development. The fitness of a plant is strongly influenced by leaf thickness via modulation of major physiological processes, including photosynthesis and water use efficiency. The cellular basis of leaf thickness by alterations in either cell size or the number of cell layers is envisaged using Arabidopsis leaf thickness mutants, such as angustifolia (an) and rotundifolia (rot). Environmental factors coordinate with endogenous signaling mechanisms to exhibit leaf thickness plasticity. Plants growing in different ecological and environmental regimes show different leaf thickness attributes. However, genetic and molecular understandings of leaf thickness regulation remain largely limited. In this review, we highlight how cellular growth is transposed to fine‐tune the leaf thickness via the integration of potential cues and molecular players. We further discuss the physiological significance of leaf thickness plasticity to the environmental cues that might serve as ecological adaptation enabling the plants to withstand future climatic conditions. Taken together, we seek to bridge the genetics and molecular biology of leaf thickness to its physiological significance so that leaf thickness can be systemically targeted in crop improvement programs.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundBinimetinib and selumetinib are two mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors used to treat low‐grade gliomas and plexiform neurofibromas. Cutaneous toxicities are commonly associated with MEK inhibitors; however, limited studies have examined cutaneous effects in a pediatric population or whether toxicities vary between MEK inhibitors.MethodsWe conducted an IRB‐approved, single‐center, retrospective review of pediatric neuro‐oncology patients on binimetinib or selumetinib who presented to NYU from April 2016 through July 2022.ResultsForty‐six children met inclusion criteria (23 females, 23 males) with a mean age of 11.7 years. Thirty‐three were treated with binimetinib and 13 with selumetinib. Dermatologic adverse events were encountered in 97.8% of the cohort, and the most common were acneiform eruption (63.0%), paronychia (58.7%), and xerosis (54.3%). Children 12 years and older were more likely to have acneiform eruption (p < 0.001) and seborrheic dermatitis (p < 0.001), while children under 12 were more likely to have xerosis (p = 0.037). The incidence of cutaneous adverse events was significantly different between MEK inhibitors for folliculitis and hair pigment dilution (39.4% binimetinib, 0% selumetinib, p = 0.009). Significantly, more patients required MEK inhibitor dose reduction/hold on binimetinib (87.9%) than selumetinib (46.2%) (p = 0.006). Severity of cutaneous disease was not associated with tumor response.ConclusionsOur study confirms dermatologic adverse events are common in children on MEK inhibitors. Age appears to be associated with increased likelihood of certain cutaneous reactions. Overall, the selumetinib patients in our cohort presented with less severe adverse events and decreased risk of MEK inhibitor dose reduction/hold. Our results will aid clinicians in providing appropriate counseling, treatments, and improved preventive care.
A paradox of public engagement: The discursive politics of environmental justice in Canada's Chemical Valley
Authors: Wiebe Sarah Marie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFor over a decade, members of the Aamjiwnaang Nation have continued to fight for the recognition and redress of their unique environmental health concerns in a region known as Canada's Chemical Valley. From a critical policy studies lens, this article addresses the discursive policy challenges faced by those who are most affected by the toxic policy assemblage of enduring pollution exposure. In response to the research question: how can the voices and lived experiences of those living in pollution hotspots like Chemical Valley contribute to the theory and practice of environmental justice, this article draws upon findings from extensive field‐work in the surrounding region of Lambton County as well as policy advocacy including participation in Senate of Canada hearings. This analysis examines how the omission of community‐based knowledge and expertise reproduces inequities. The article concludes with strategies for improved environmental justice and lessons learned for policy justice in Canada and beyond.Related ArticlesAl‐Kohlani, Sumaia A., Heather E.

Model of mental health in adolescents who experienced a mega wildfire: Protective and risk factors
Authors: Mellado Carlos 
Published: November 2024

AbstractVarious studies have shown the relationship between psychopathological symptomatology in the event of a wildfire and predictors such as exposure to the event, fear, and parenting; however, there are no studies that establish the joint relationship between these predictors and the mental health of adolescents who have experienced a disaster of this nature. Thus, this study evaluates a model of psychopathological symptomatology in adolescents who experienced the Chilean wildfire called The Firestorm due to its extreme conditions. A non‐experimental study surveyed 292 Chilean adolescents who experienced that mega wildfire (MAGE = 14.47; 51.6% women), 6 months after the occurrence of disaster. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to evaluate the model of psychopathological symptomatology, establishing risk and protective factors as predictors. Adolescents who reported that they perceived a greater magnitude of the disaster also reported that they experienced greater fear of the wildfire. Additionally, adolescents who reported that they experienced greater fear also reported greater post‐traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and stress. In contrast, adolescents whose parents were supporting reported less depression, anxiety, stress, and suicidal ideation. Thereby, results obtained suggest that emotional reactions to disaster may have a greater impact on the mental health of adolescents who experienced extreme wildfire than the magnitude itself and highlights the protective role of parental support.

Teaching English academic writing as intercultural communication
Authors: Du Qian , Liu Ying 
Published: November 2024

AbstractResearch developments in world Englishes have advanced our understanding of the plurality of Englishes, problematizing the historical and ongoing privilegization of Inner Circle Englishes. Studies have shown how monolithic conceptions of English can limit students’ exposure to varieties of English and hinder language learning. This issue is particularly salient in higher education contexts where “standard” academic English is largely perceived as the ultimate learning goal. This narrow perspective of English undervalues the rich linguistic and cultural resources of multilingual students and their efforts to use such resources in navigating the intercultural realities of English academic settings. Drawing on data from an undergraduate English academic writing course where a group of Chinese students learned to paraphrase and write with sources, we demonstrate the intercultural nature of their linguistic choices for paraphrasing tasks, highlighting the critical need to recognize the legitimacy of multilingual students as users of world Englishes.

We also show that the equivalence depends only on the bounded set and not on the values of nor on the partition of . The proof relies on a quantum version of Wiener's division lemma.
Optimizing Design for Repairability: A Game Theoretic Approach for Incorporating Market Analysis
Authors: Sabbaghi Mostafa , Behdad Sara 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article investigates the design decision facing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in determining the optimal degree of repairability by considering market dynamics. The article develops a game-theoretic model to optimize the degree of product repairability for smartphones in a market in which an OEM and a coalition of independent service providers compete in offering repair services. A survey is conducted to estimate the consumer-related parameters of the game theory model by considering factors such as repair cost, prior repair experience of customers, and the quality of repair services offered by the OEM and independent repair service providers. The findings reveal that regardless of the repairability level, the OEM's repair profits are maximized when a significant disparity in the quality of repair services between the OEM and their competitors exists. On the other hand, independent repair service providers' profits are maximized when there is a low disparity in the quality of repair services. Also, the results show why the adoption of a fully repairable device is not the optimal strategy adopted by OEMs. Instead, a sufficiently large degree of repairability can be the strategic choice, as it maximizes the total OEM's profits derived from both the sale of future products and the provision of repair services for previously sold devices. At the same time, this strategy can encourage repair practices among consumers toward a more sustainable society.

Published: November 2024

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS) is an evidence-based assessment tool for coaches that stimulates self-reflection and learning of adult-oriented coaching practices. The AOSCS, comprised of 22 items that form five coaching themes, was used in this mixed-methods case study by a coach of adult skiers, who sought facilitation and mentorship from a coach developer to apply the AOSCS to strategically improve his coaching across a season. A pragmatic paradigm was adopted for this mixed-methods qualitatively dominant, sequential study. The coach and his skiers (n = 10) completed the AOSCS at three points in time (pre-, mid-, and postseason). At each point, the coach journaled prior to debriefing with the coach developer for 20–50 min. Through reflexive thematic and correlation analyses, eight adult-oriented coaching practices were identified as strong points of integration. The findings indicated that working with the coach developer enabled the coach’s reflection of the AOSCS scores to refine, strategize, and align coaching with his adult skiers’ perceptions for adult-oriented coaching. This study outlined the facilitation of reflection on AOSCS scores can be used advantageously across a season to promote more deliberate coach learning and practice.
