Special Issue of the Asian Journal of Business Ethics on Global Survey of Business Ethics (GSBE) Reports 2022–2024 from Asia, Australia, and Russia: Australia
Authors: Pierce Janine , Harris Howard 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis report examines a study focused on current interest areas and themes of business ethics in Australia as discussed in the Australian media (major national and State newspapers) across the years 2019–2022, using content analysis and stakeholder frame of focus. The identified themes are then compared with themes identified in the Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022–2024. These themes provide a framework to compare with themes identified as important for teaching and research through a survey of Australian university educators in business schools involved in ethics teaching and research in South Australia and Western Australia. Findings indicate that ethics and ethical concerns appear across a range of media publications in Australia which in turn is placing pressure on businesses to respond to this ethics talk in the media in explaining or justifying their actions. Although no particular pattern is identified from responses, some topics are gaining more prominence such as climate change and artificial intelligence, both in the media and in university courses and research. Topics of discussion were ranked from very important to important. It is concluded that ethical issues are important for Australian business and business is responding. Key ethical issues include climate change and sustainability, governance, government and transparency, and organizational culture with ethical issues of interest to Australia featuring including sport, corporate misconduct, and Indigenous issues.
IoT and Smart Sensors for Remote Sensing Healthcare and Agriculture Applications
Authors: Kadrolli Vijayalaxmi , Kalnoor Gauri 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn order to better serve patients and make better decisions, the healthcare industry is always adapting to incorporate new technology. In this in-depth analysis, we look at how geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) have revolutionised contemporary medicine. Improving healthcare planning, illness management, and environmental health evaluation are just a few of the many potential outcomes of integrating remote sensing and GIS, two technologies that can gather data from great distances and then analyze it spatially. We explore the many facets of SR and GIS in health care in this paper. To guarantee the inclusion and relevance of the literature examined, we explain the methodology utilised for data collection, the criteria for articles and studies to be selected, and the strategic search strategy that was followed. The essay starts out by providing a basic overview of healthcare remote sensing. We delve into its significance by going over the wide range of uses, which include tracking diseases, evaluating the state of the environment, and dealing with disasters. These uses case studies illustrate how remote sensing has changed healthcare and how public health dynamics might be better understood. This article delves into the ways in which healthcare accessibility can be analyzed spatially using GIS and remote sensing. In order to plan for health effectively and provide services fairly, it is crucial to understand the distribution and accessibility of health facilities across different geographic areas. This is because access to health services is a cornerstone of public health. The combination of geographic information systems (GIS) with remote sensing technology provides robust resources for assessing and bettering healthcare accessibility. Examining these technologies’ theoretical foundations, methodology, and practical uses in healthcare affordability analysis is the focus of this article.
Messaging effects and psychological drivers for conservation behaviors at Mt. Fuji, Japan
Authors: Mitsui Satomi , Uno Tadashi , Horiuchi Masahiro 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study demonstrated the differences in behavioral changes caused by two conservation messages through field experiments in Mount Fuji, Japan. The target behavior was to use a cleaning mat set up on a mountain trail to remove non-native plant seeds from the soles of visitors' shoes. To further understand the drivers of behavioral change, a questionnaire survey was used to examine the influence of different conservation messages and psychological and personal factors, including awe, attitudes, and norms. Knowledge linked to behavior and a sense of perceived behavioral control promoted behavior, whereas positive attitudes toward behavior and higher awe negatively impact behavior. Conservation messages interact with norms, and effective message-promoting behaviors differ depending on the norm level. Conservation messages should be selected based on the characteristics of the target segment. Even short conservation messages such as signboards can enhance the effectiveness of behavioral change, and it is valuable to think strategically about message content.
A flow-field integrated flight control: dynamic wind tunnel testing and simulation
Authors: Sekino S. , Maki M. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAbrupt changes in aircraft attitude due to encountering terrain turbulence or wind shear at low altitudes can directly lead to serious accidents. Therefore, a highly responsive and reliable active attitude stabiliser on board is necessary to counteract low-level severe atmospheric disturbances. However, gust environments caused by local terrain and structures are difficult to represent with typical models, such as the Dryden continuous gust model in free space. As a result, an optimal model-based control design cannot be applied. To address this problem, this paper introduces an adaptive mechanism for updating motion equations based on atmospheric conditions using in-flight surface pressure-field sensing. Additionally, a dynamic wind tunnel experiment system, which can be constructed at universities at a low cost, is developed and described in detail. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is evaluated through wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations using a large number of gust samples.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Calorie restriction plays a role in reducing food intake and weight gain, and improving health and lifespan. We hypothesized that calorie restriction would affect body weight (BW), serum indices, gut microbiota, metabolites and short-chain fatty acids of finishing pigs. Castrated male (Landrace × Yorkshire) pigs (86.13 ± 3.50 kg) were randomly assigned into two groups indicated as control (Con) and calorie restriction (CR) (eight pigs/group), respectively. Pigs in the Con group consumed feed ad libitum, whereas pigs in the CR group were fed 70% of the amount of feed in the Con group. The trial lasted for 38 days. Blood and colonic contents were collected for serum parameters, and microbiota and metabolome analysis, respectively. Main effects were tested by Student’s t-test. We found that for finishing pigs, calorie restriction reduced the cumulative food intake, BW gain, serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels. Calorie restriction did not change the α and β diversity of intestinal microbiota. However, calorie restriction significantly increased the abundance of Romboutsia and unclassified_c_Bacilli, and significantly reduced the abundance of Lachnospiraceae_XPB1014_group, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Escherichia-–Shigella and Gastranaerophilales. Calorie restriction also simultaneously changed the structure of intestinal metabolites and increased the concentration of isobutyric acid, isovaleric acid and valeric acid. In conclusion, calorie restriction may affect metabolism, reduce obesity and improve intestinal microbiota, which may be a healthy diet treatment that can reduce obesity and improve metabolism.
Housebuilding, land, and structural power: the case of mortgage market support schemes in England
Authors: Foye Chris , Shepherd Edward 
Published: September 2024

AbstractHousing is a critical part of every state’s infrastructure. However, in most advanced economies the state no longer builds very much of it, leaving it instead to private housebuilders. Because of their control over the supply of land, and the barriers to entry into the housebuilding industry, private housebuilders have potentially major structural power over the state. At the same time, private housebuilders are also tied to their land, and face other barriers to exit, thus limiting their ability to relocate capital elsewhere. Drawing on a range of secondary data sources, including earnings calls transcripts, annual reports and government policy documents, this paper demonstrates how the three largest volume housebuilders in England leveraged their structural power to shape the mortgage market support schemes that were introduced in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. These schemes have since underpinned their exceptional levels of profitability. We conclude, though, that far from being an absolute resource, this structural power was only enabled by the prevailing neoliberal, home-owning Anglo-liberal ‘growth model’ in which these housebuilders were embedded.
Life-saving Field Amputation During the 2023 Türkiye Earthquake: Ethical, Social, and Legal Implications Beyond the Complex Medical and Rescue Procedures in the Rubble

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Amputation as a life-saving measure for earthquake-trapped patients is supported by WHO and INSARAG guidelines. However, implementing these guidelines in highly stressful contexts can complicate decision-making. This report presents a case of life-saving amputation during the 2023 Turkey earthquake, adhering to recommended guidelines. The 16-year-old patient was trapped for 55 hours in a narrow corridor. Extensive interdisciplinary discussions led to the decision for a field amputation after alternative rescue attempts failed. Consent was obtained from the family, given the patient’s delirium. Meticulous planning and anesthesia using midazolam and ketamine ensured successful amputation with minimal blood loss. Challenges encountered during the disaster response were discussed. Delays in administering antibiotics, a lack of cervical protection, ethical dilemmas, psychological concerns, and legal implications were highlighted. Continued improvement and addressing ethical, legal, and psychological aspects are essential for optimal disaster response outcomes.

A recurrence-type strong Borel–Cantelli lemma for Axiom A diffeomorphisms
Authors: RODRIGUEZ SPONHEIMER ALEJANDRO 
Published: September 2024

AbstractLet
$(X,\mu ,T,d)$
be a metric measure-preserving dynamical system such that three-fold correlations decay exponentially for Lipschitz continuous observables. Given a sequence
$(M_k)$
that converges to
$0$
slowly enough, we obtain a strong dynamical Borel–Cantelli result for recurrence, that is, for
$\mu $
-almost every
$x\in X$
,
$$ \begin{align*} \lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{n} \mathbf{1}_{B_k(x)}(T^{k}x)} {\sum_{k=1}^{n} \mu(B_k(x))} = 1, \end{align*} $$
where
$\mu (B_k(x)) = M_k$
. In particular, we show that this result holds for Axiom A diffeomorphisms and equilibrium states under certain assumptions.
Forms of Law for the Anthropocene: Civil Liability Revisited
Authors: Ellis Jaye 
Published: September 2024

AbstractRapid, unpredictable ecological changes and the resulting instability that are characteristic of the Anthropocene call for a re-examination of the role of law in governing interactions between humans and ecosystems and facilitating adaptation to ecological change. The scope and scale of environmental change we are experiencing seem to call for a regulatory approach, namely forms of law that are designed to pursue well-defined material objectives, often through instruction rules designed to guide behavior to line up with those objectives. Such forms of law have a crucial role to play. However, the negligence principle at the heart of civil liability law is also capable of absorbing and circulating information about environmental risk and means of addressing it, and of translating that information from empirical to normative terms. The grounding of negligence in domestic civil liability law could be a serious obstacle to its effectiveness given the global, Earth system-wide nature of environmental degradation. However, the negligence principle increasingly operates through networks that traverse jurisdictional boundaries, as well as the boundaries between social systems. I propose such a network approach to analyze interactions between the negligence principle and corporate due diligence obligations embedded in domestic legislation and international texts such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). One important result would be the imposition of expanded epistemic obligations on firms, which would in turn require their serious engagement with domestic, international, and transnational environmental and sustainability norms.
The Fight Against Digital Hate Speech: Disentangling the EU’s Regulatory Approach and Hurdles
Authors: Psychogiopoulou Evangelia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDigital platforms and social media have expanded the ways in which individuals can exercise their right to freedom of expression and obtain and diffuse information. At the same time, they have become a principal means for haters to express and spread their hate in ways that would have been unthinkable some years ago. Responsive to the challenge, the EU has progressively developed a broad range of instruments and tools to counter online hate speech. This chapter discusses the key characteristics of the EU arrangements made to fight digital hate speech, shedding light on what is a multi-faceted and daunting regulatory task.
Reconceptualizing Gender (from the Stream of Life)
Authors: Sandis Constantine , Moyal-Sharrock Danièle 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we consider a range of trans-inclusive approaches to gender concepts and how they relate to the world, from family resemblance theories to conceptual engineering. In so doing, we shall also examine several concepts that are analogous to gender and other controversial and not-so-controversial concepts, such as “vegan cheese” and “adoptive parents.” Having assessed their merits and demerits, we argue that our gender concepts are not fixed in stone but, rather, evolve alongside human practices and behavior.
Co-designing a virtual reality exposure therapy with students experiencing school anxiety: a proof-of-concept study

Published: September 2024

AbstractBackground and Objectives:Anxiety related school avoidance can affect up to 5% of a country’s students each year. VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) is a novel therapy proven to be as effective as conventional approaches for treating many anxiety disorders. The aim of this research is to co-design and evaluate a VRET intervention for students experiencing school related anxiety.Method:Eighteen adolescents participated in design thinking workshops where they developed a script and storyboard for the VRET. Using an iterative approach, a VRET prototype was developed based on this work. Eighteen teenagers were subsequently recruited to engage with the VRET for one session each and provide feedback on their experience via a structured questionnaire (supervised by a study coordinator) particularly focusing on the ability of the VR experience to reduce school related anxiety.Results:Exposure therapy needs to produce an anxiety response to be effective. The VRET was effective in producing an anxiety response in 89% of participants. Results demonstrated that 93% of participants found the simulations immersive, 94% found the scenarios believable, and 83% could relate to ‘Dala’, the avatar in the videos. 100% of participants believed that VRET would help with school anxiety.Conclusion:This proof-of-concept study demonstrates favourable face validity indicating promise for this mode of intervention for delivering targeted support to anxious students. VRET could be used as a scalable, cost effective early intervention to reduce the severity of anxiety associated with school avoidance.
Reactive experimental control of turbulent jets
Authors: Audiffred Diego B.S. , Cavalieri André V.G. , Maia Igor A. , Martini Eduardo , Jordan Peter 
Published: September 2024

We present an experimental study of reactive control of turbulent jets, in which we target axisymmetric coherent structures, known to play a key role in the generation of sound. We first consider a forced jet, in which coherent structures are amplified above background levels, facilitating their detection, estimation and control. We then consider the more challenging case of an unforced jet. The linear control targets coherent structures in the region just downstream of the nozzle exit plane, where linear models are known to be appropriate for description of the lowest-order azimuthal modes of the turbulence. The control law is constructed in frequency space, based on empirically determined transfer functions. And the Wiener–Hopf formalism is used to enforce causality and to provide an optimal controller, as opposed to the sub-optimal control laws provided by simpler wave-cancellation methods. Significant improvements are demonstrated in the control of both forced and unforced jets. In the former case, order-of-magnitude reductions are achieved; and in the latter, turbulence levels are reduced by up to 60 %. The results open new perspectives for the control of turbulent flow at high Reynolds number.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Addis Ababa initiated a universal Home-Grown School Feeding Program (HGSFP) in February 2019 to address hunger and improve the educational outcomes of schoolchildren. This study aimed to document the perceived benefits and challenges of the HGSFP in Addis Ababa, where such information was lacking. In May 2023, a qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to collect data from 20 schools participating in the HGSFP. Data were collected through key informant interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 98 purposively selected participants. The study encompassed 48 student mothers in 5 FGDs, 20 student interviews, 20 school principals, and 10 experts from the Ministry of Education, Sub-cities, and the School Feeding Agency for in-depth interviews. Data collected in the local language were transcribed, translated into English, and thematically analysed using ATLAS-TI software. The study’s findings unveiled the transformative impact of the HGSFP in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It demonstrated remarkable improvements in attendance, concentration, academic performance, reduced dropout rates, financial relief, enhanced behaviour, and a safer learning environment. However, urgent measures are imperative to tackle pressing challenges such as underpaid kitchen workers, operational issues, reduced reading time, rising food costs, limited market access, inadequate infrastructure, and growing dependency. To ensure the enduring sustainability of HGSFP, addressing challenges like workload reduction, kitchen infrastructure enhancement, government guideline implementation, promoting self-reliance, overcoming budget limitations, and addressing school gardening obstacles is vital.

$d\ge 2$
and that the rate of direction changing follows a power law
$t^{-\alpha}$

$0<\alpha\le 1$

Media Credibility and Voter Penalization of Corrupt Politicians in Latin America
Authors: van Klaveren Carmen , Murshed Syed Mansoob , Papyrakis Elissaios 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThere has been a significant growth of social media as a means to inform oneself about politics. This article explores the consequences of this trend on the credibility audiences attribute to news exposing corrupt politicians and on their willingness to penalize the exposed politicians in elections. The study focuses on ten Latin American cities and employs a randomized control trial using experimental data embedded in a survey. Through this method, credibility and penalization levels are compared between state communications, newspapers, named journalists on social media, and anonymous journalists on social media. The article’s key findings demonstrate that corruption reports published on social media are deemed less credible than those published by state auditors and newspapers. This effect is exacerbated when the source of the report is anonymous. In addition, reports on corruption published on social media by anonymous sources have a negative effect on voter penalization of corrupt politicians.
The Legal Realists on Political Economy
Authors: Priel Dan 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAlongside the well-known jurisprudential ideas associated with legal realism, some scholars have highlighted the realists’ political-economic ideas. Best known among them has been Morton Horwitz, who has argued that the realists launched an “attack on the legitimacy of the market.” Other scholars challenged this view and argued that there was no significant connection between legal realism and political economic ideas. I offer a corrective to both views. I first consider the work of five legal realists (Karl Llewellyn, Adolf Berle, William O. Douglas, Jerome Frank, and Thurman Arnold) and show that all held views that were well within the political-economic mainstream of their era, which did not challenge the legitimacy of market capitalism but wanted to see markets better regulated. I also show that for many of these realists, there were important connections between their jurisprudential and political-economic ideas. I then turn to some neglected writings of Felix Cohen to show that he too saw a direct link between his legal and economic ideas. However, unlike the other legal realists discussed here, he was a radical critic of market capitalism. I use his political-economic writings for a reconsideration of his better-known jurisprudential works.
