Published: September 2024

AbstractHigh resolution live imaging of regeneration presents unique challenges, due to the nature of the specimens (large mobile animals), the duration of the process (spanning days or weeks), and the fact that cellular resolution must be achieved without damage caused by lengthy exposures to light. Here, we develop a method for live imaging that captures the entire process of leg regeneration, spanning up to 10 days, at cellular resolution, in the crustaceanParhyale hawaiensis. Our method allows (1) mounting and long-term live imaging of regenerating legs under conditions that yield high spatial and temporal resolution but minimise photodamage, (2) fixing andin situstaining of the regenerated legs that were imaged, to identify cell fates, and (3) computer-assisted cell tracking to determine the cell lineages and progenitors of identified cells. The method is optimised to limit light exposure while maximising tracking efficiency. Combined with appropriate cell-type-specific markers, this method may allow the description of cell lineages for every regenerated cell type in the limb.
gilgamesh, Drosophila casein kinase 1g, is required for myosin-dependent junction strengthening and epithelial folding
Authors: Gu Lingkun , Koran Reina , Brar Jasneet , Weng Mo 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAdherens junctions, which serve as the primary physical link between cells, undergo remodeling in response to tension forces to maintain tissue integrity and promote tissue shape changes. However, the in vivo mechanisms driving this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identified Gilgamesh (Gish), the conserved fly homolog of casein kinase 1g as essential for myosin-dependent junction strengthening and tissue folding during apical constriction of Drosophila mesoderm. We show that Gish is recruited to spot adherens junctions in a contractile myosin-dependent manner. During apical constriction, Gish is required for junction strengthening by promoting growth and merging of small junction puncta, as well as stabilizing junction puncta at cell edges. The junction defects in Gish-depleted mesoderm result in breakage of the tissue-scale apical actomyosin network during apical constriction, and ultimately failure in mesoderm infolding. Our data show that Gish is a mechanosensitive kinase required for the integrity of adherens junctions during apical constriction.
New constraints on
CPT
symmetry violation in charm mesons

Published: September 2024

Small CPT-violating effects are admissible in several theories beyond the Standard Model of interactions. We analyze experimental data obtained with neutral flavored meson mixing and place bounds on the scale of such phenomena. The constraints on the CPT-violating parameter z are derived by reinterpreting the LHCb measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the Cabbibo-favored D0→K−π+ and D0¯→K+π− decay rates. The bounds provided in this paper are 2 orders of magnitude stricter compared to the results obtained by the FOCUS Collaboration. Among other constraints, we report bounds on the differences in the decay widths and masses of the neutral D meson flavor states at a 95% confidence level. The decay width difference is bounded by (−4.7<δΓD<2.1)×10−16  GeV. The mass difference lies within (−2.0<δmD<2.0)×10−15  GeV for 95% of arg(z) values. The paper includes an assessment of the influence of CP violation on the results and a discussion of the future prospects.

Environmental management of the green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) supply chain: a carbon footprint assessment in Southern Italy
Authors: Rana Roberto Leonardo , Bux Christian , Lombardi Mariarosaria 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe objective of the research is to evaluate the carbon footprint of the green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) supply chain, encompassing the agricultural production to the packaging stage in Italy, as it is the sixth largest producer and the second largest in Europe. It provides an assessment in the province of Foggia and highlights the global perspective of the carbon footprint application in agro-food systems.Design/methodology/approachThe carbon footprint (ISO 14067:2018) considers 1 t of packaged fresh asparagus as a functional unit in the agricultural production and packaging stage and is based on primary data collected in one of the leading companies of asparagus production in the province of Foggia, which markets about 0.21 kt of asparagus per year produced in about 31 ha. Data were integrated with face-to-face in-depth interviews and pre-filled checklists.FindingsFindings show that the carbon footprint of 1 t of packaged fresh asparagus is equivalent to 335.31 kgCO2eq, of which 61% in the agricultural stage and 39% in the packaging one. The majority of the emissions are associated with the fertigation and the diesel consumption for the transportation of workers. Farmers should adopt green electricity so as to reduce the emissions associated with the electric pump for the extraction of water from artesian wells. Moreover, it would be desirable to replace mineral urea phosphate with organic fertilizers.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, scholars have not yet investigated the environmental impacts of the green asparagus supply chain, even if it represents one of the most cultivated vegetables worldwide, with a global production that amounts to 8.5 Mt per year.
The valuation demand for accounting conservatism: evidence from firm-level climate risk measures
Authors: Li Su , van Zijl Tony , Willett Roger 
Published: September 2024

PurposePrior studies have found that managers adjust operational activities to tackle climate risk. However, the effects of climate risk on accounting practices are largely ignored in the literature. This paper investigates whether and how climate risk influences managers’ decision-making on the level of accounting conservatism and explains the results based on two competing channels: valuation demand and contracting demand.Design/methodology/approachUsing firm level climate risk measures, we build a modified Basu (1997) model to conduct our econometric tests. In the baseline model, we use earnings before extraordinary items as the dependent variable, referred to as the earnings model. We control for different levels of fixed effect to identify the shocks of climate risk and mitigate potential concerns on endogeneity and bias in the model. A series of robustness tests provide supporting evidence for our baseline results and our explanation.FindingsUsing a sample of 35,832 firm-year observations on listed US firms over the period 2002 to 2019, we find that the perception of climate risk drives managers to choose the less conservative accounting policies. We conclude that the results are consistent with the valuation demand explanation but inconsistent with the contracting demand explanation.Originality/valueThe study provides additional evidence on how managers respond to climate risk by adjusting their corporate polices, specifically accounting policies. Our findings contradict the results of prior studies. We explain our results from a unique perspective. Overall, the study provides valuable insights for academics, investors, managers and policymakers.

Published: September 2024

PurposeSchool leaders can significantly influence the conditions that affect teacher retention. Yet, leaders in rural and high-poverty schools often face limited opportunities to develop their abilities to enhance these conditions. In this case study, we examine how participating in a professional community supported school leaders' efforts to increase teacher retention and student learning outcomes.Design/methodology/approachWe used case study methodology to study 14 leaders from rural, high-poverty or underperforming schools with greater-than-average levels of teacher turnover. The leaders were participating in a three-year research-practice partnership intended to assist them in using improvement science to address problems of practice related to teacher retention and student learning outcomes in their schools. We collected and analyzed data from interviews, exit surveys, artifacts and participant observations over a one-year period.FindingsParticipating in this professional community helped the leaders create the conditions for increased teacher retention and student learning outcomes by providing them with opportunities to collaborate with their peers, receive leadership coaching, exchange ideas and learn in a safe space.Originality/valueThese findings confirm and extend extant school leadership development research. A particularly interesting finding was the role of the professional community in reducing the leaders' feelings of isolation while providing them a safe space to learn. The findings also illustrate how universities and school districts can partner to provide professional learning opportunities that enhance school leaders' professional knowledge, leadership practices and well-being.
How teachers enhance ICT integration practices within professional learning communities: a qualitative study in Tanzania
Authors: Ngao Ayubu Ismail , Sang Guoyuan 
Published: September 2024

PurposeDespite the positive impact of professional learning communities (PLCs) in improving teaching practices, many teachers still struggle to effectively integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) into their teaching and learning. Drawing from human capital theory and spillover effects, this paper examines how teachers PLCs can facilitate ICT integration.Design/methodology/approachUsing a qualitative methodology, the researchers designed a phenomenological study. From semi-structured interviews, data were collected from 15 selected secondary school teachers from four selected secondary schools in Tanzania.FindingsThe study revealed that teachers use various strategies to enhance ICT integration in teaching practices, namely, community collaboration, practice-based approaches to ICT integration and the utilization of digital learning tools in instructional practices. Furthermore, the results showed several constraints on the ability of teachers’ PLCs to encourage ICT integration. These constraints were divided into three parts, i.e. major challenges at the macro, meso and micro levels.Practical implicationsThe paper has the potential to inform policy and practice, particularly in the area of PLCs. Also, it helps to better understand the changing practices with ICTs through PLCs when there are insufficient resources for ICT integration.Originality/valueTo support teachers in using ICTs in their instructional practices, it is essential to build their capacities through PLCs to increase their confidence and competence in ICT integration.
Financial citizenship and FinTech transition: evidences in Iran

Published: September 2024

Purpose
Financial technologies or FinTech have replaced traditional financial services. Large investments have been made in FinTechs but there is a gap between service providers and consumers. Due to the high diversity and speed of changes, people still do not understand the new financial system and resist it. The success of the transition requires providing an opportunity for citizens' participation which is expressed with the term, financial citizenship. This study aims to focus on the citizenship dimension of FinTech transition and wants to analyze the influence of citizens in transition with a focus on financial technologies.

Design/methodology/approach
This study analyzed financial citizenship in FinTech transition by using a qualitative research method and grounded theory. The data were collected through open interviews with 26 FinTech players in Iran. Then the three-step process of open, axial and selective coding was performed and the main categories and relationships between them were identified.

Findings
Surveys have shown that educating and informing citizens provides the conditions for engagement and the formation of financial citizenship. Depending on citizens' level of awareness, they can play a role in the FinTech transition as customers, feedback providers or demanders. Of course, the disruption level of financial technological innovation affects the level of citizens' engagement. Finally, the conceptual model of financial citizenship provided and the effect of citizen participation on the FinTech transition has been analyzed.

Originality/value
This study is based on the belief that it is the citizens’ right to have a role in matters that directly affect their well-being. This role is not only the role of the customer and the user but goes beyond and becomes a role where citizens as players would be able to influence the technological transition like other interested players (policymakers and service providers). This research integrates the transition literature and financial citizenship; and analyzes the FinTech transition according to the position of citizens against FinTech developments.
Risk transmission and diversification strategies between US real estate investment trusts (REITs) and green finance indices
Authors: Zeng Hongjun 
Published: September 2024

PurposeWe examined the dynamic volatility connectedness and diversification strategies among US real estate investment trusts (REITs) and green finance indices.Design/methodology/approachThe DCC-GARCH dynamic connectedness framework and he DCC-GARCH t-copula model were employed in this study.FindingsUsing daily data from 2,206 observations spanning from 2 January 2015 to 31 January 2023 this paper presents the following findings: (1) cross-market spillovers exhibited a high correlation and significant fluctuations, particularly during extreme events; (2) our analysis confirmed that REIT acted as net receivers from other green indices, with the S&P North America Large-MidCap Carbon Efficient Index dominating the in-network volatility spillover; (3) this observation suggests asymmetric spillovers between the two markets and (4) a portfolio analysis was conducted using the DCC-GARCH t-copula framework to estimate hedging ratios and portfolio weights for these indices. When REIT and the Dow Jones US Select ESG REIT Index were simultaneously added to a risk-hedged portfolio, our findings indicated that no risk-hedging effect could be achieved. Moreover, the cost and performance of hedging green assets using REIT were found to be comparable.Originality/valueWe first examined the dynamic volatility connectedness and diversification strategies among US REITs and green finance indices. The outcomes of this study carry practical implications for market participants.

Published: September 2024

AbstractCarotenoids are natural pigments utilized as colourants and antioxidants across food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. They exist in carbon chain lengths of C30, C40, C45 and C50, with C40 variants being the most common. Bacterioruberin (BR) and its derivatives are part of the less common C50 carotenoid group, synthesized primarily by halophilic archaea. This study analysed the compositional characteristics of BR extract (BRE) isolated from ‘Haloferax marinum’ MBLA0078, a halophilic archaeon isolated from seawater near Yeoungheungdo Island in the Republic of Korea, and investigated its antioxidant activity and protective effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced C2C12 myotube atrophy. The main components of BRE included all‐trans‐BR, monoanhydrobacterioruberin, 2‐isopentenyl‐3,4‐dehydrorhodopin and all‐trans‐bisanhydrobacterioruberin. BRE exhibited higher antioxidant activity and DNA nicking protection activity than other well‐known C40 carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, lycopene and astaxanthin. In C2C12 myotubes, LPS treatment led to a reduction in myotube diameter and number, as well as the hypertranscription of the muscle‐specific ubiquitin ligase MAFbx and MuRF1. BRE mitigated these changes by activating the Akt/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, BRE abolished the elevated cellular reactive oxygen species levels and the inflammation response induced by LPS. This study demonstrated that ‘Hfx. marinum’ is an excellent source of natural microbial C50 carotenoids with strong antioxidant capacity and may offer potential protective effects against muscle atrophy.
Control issues: How providing input affects auditors' reliance on artificial intelligence

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this study, we examine auditors' reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) systems that are designed to provide evidence around complex estimates. In an experiment with highly experienced auditors, we find that auditors are more hesitant to rely on evidence from AI‐based systems compared to human specialists, consistent with algorithm aversion. Importantly, we also find that a small amount of control (i.e., providing input to specialists) can mitigate this aversion, though this effect depends on auditors' personal locus of control (LOC). Providing input increases reliance on evidence from AI systems for auditors who believe they have little control over their outcomes (i.e., an external LOC). In contrast, auditors with an internal LOC are particularly hesitant to rely on AI‐based evidence, and providing input has little impact on their reliance. Interviews with experienced auditors corroborate our findings and suggest auditors feel a greater sense of control working with human specialists relative to AI‐based systems. Overall, our results suggest perceived control plays an important role in auditors' aversion to AI and that auditors' individual traits can affect this aversion.
Gender bias in assessing narcissistic personality: Exploring the utility of the ICD‐11 dimensional model

Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectivesNarcissistic personality disorder as captured in categorical diagnostic systems (e.g., DSM‐5) emphasizes grandiose features more associated with masculine norms and under‐emphasizes vulnerable features more associated with femininity. This poses significant implications in diagnostic outcome and clinical treatment in women with narcissistic preoccupations. Research finds that clinicians using the DSM‐5 categorical system tend to diagnose vulnerable narcissism in women as other ‘feminized’ personality disorders (e.g., borderline), but no research has explored gender differences in narcissism using the new ICD‐11 dimensional framework for personality disorders. This study investigated the clinical utility of the ICD‐11 approach in capturing gender differences in narcissistic presentations.MethodsAdopting an online vignette‐based study, mental health clinicians (N = 157; 71.3% female) completed ratings of ICD‐11 personality disorder severity and trait domains for two cases reflecting ‘grandiose’ and ‘vulnerable’ narcissism in hypothetical male or female patients.ResultsThe results showed that ratings of core impairments in personality functioning and overall severity were consistent irrespective of patient or clinician gender, contrasting prior research using categorical models.ConclusionWhile some differences were observed in trait domain (e.g., negative affectivity) between patient gender, these results suggest the clinical utility of the ICD‐11 model as emphasizing elements of personality functioning in the process of assessment and diagnosis, therefore potentially being less susceptible to influences of gender stereotype in aiding clinical conceptualization.
Children's agency within digital play and learning: Exploring the impact of shared play experiences on parent–child negotiations
Authors: Murcia Karen , Cross Emma , Seitz Julia , Lowe Geoffrey 
Published: September 2024

AbstractChildren actively participate in socially constructing their digitised childhoods. However, parents often struggle to understand and manage the relationship between children and digital technology, especially with reference to children's agency and creativity with digital devices. This paper reports on the impact on parent–child negotiations of a 10‐week programme of digital technology experiences whereby parents actively co‐played with their children. Interviews revealed a gradual transformation in parent beliefs, from anxiety to appreciation of negotiated agency and creative digital practice. From this finding, three guiding principles for parents are offered based around the concepts of attention, interest and interaction.

ResumoObjetivoRefinar o Relato Familiar da Motricidade Grossa (GM‐FR) utilizando a contribuição dos pais e avaliar as suas propriedades psicométricas.MétodoNeste estudo metodológico, 12 pais de crianças e adolescentes com paralisia cerebral (PC), com idade entre 2 e 18 anos, classificados em todos os níveis do Sistema de Classificação da Função Motora Grossa (GMFCS), foram entrevistados sobre sua experiência na conclusão do GM‐FR (validade de conteúdo). O feedback dos pais foi usado para refinar o instrumento que foi então preenchida por 146 famílias para avaliar a consistência interna, e a validade discriminativa e concorrente. 46 pais completaram o GM‐FR novamente, 7 a 30 dias depois, para avaliar a confiabilidade teste‐reteste.ResultadosA pontuação do GM‐FR, as imagens, as descrições e o número total de itens foram revisados com base no feedback dos pais. O GM‐FR versão 2.0 demonstrou alta consistência interna (α de Cronbach = 0,99), ausência de efeitos piso/teto e excelente confiabilidade teste‐reteste (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse = 0,99). Os escores do GM‐FR discriminaram entre os níveis do GMFCS (p < 0,05) e foram fortemente correlacionados negativamente com o nível do GMFCS (r = −0,92; p < 0,001). Os escores do GM‐FR correlacionaram‐se de forma positiva e forte com o Gross Motor Function Measure‐66 (r = 0,94; p < 0,001) e com o domínio de mobilidade do Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – Computer Adaptive Test (r = 0,93; p < 0,001).InterpretaçãoA participação ativa das famílias no desenvolvimento do GM‐FR facilitou a criação de um instrumento amigável à família. Este estudo fornece fortes evidências de confiabilidade e validade para apoiar o uso do GM‐FR na prática clínica e em pesquisas para avaliar o desempenho motor grosso de crianças e adolescentes com PC.
