CSR associations and market value: the moderating role of market competition
Authors: Brueninghaus David , Arribas Ivan , García Fernando , Burmann Christoph 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to study the impact of consumers’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) associations on corporate financial performance and the moderating role of market competition.

Design/methodology/approach
The panel data set is analyzed using a random effects regression model. The analyzed data is based on the unique RepZ Responsibility scores published by the global research agency Kantar Millward Brown and contains information about consumer CSR associations.

Findings
This study reveals CSR associations' positive, lagged, direct impact on firms’ market value. Market competition moderates this relationship in the way that a company’s market value benefits more from consumers' CSR associations when facing high rather than low market competition.

Practical implications
Consumers' CSR perceptions increase the market value of a company. This effect is intensified when brands are exposed to intense competition, which allows conclusions about CSR as a differentiation strategy to be drawn: To stand out in a competitive market, brands should prioritize improving their CSR associations among consumers to differentiate themselves and increase their market value.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to test the effect of consumers’ CSR associations on forward-looking financial performance measures. Moreover, by analyzing the moderating effect of market competition on the relationship between CSR associations and firms' market value, this study provides information about the differentiating power of CSR from a brand perspective using a panel-data analysis.

Humanizing Different Archetypal Expressions of Gender Expansiveness1
Authors: Tyminski Robert 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis article explores the concept of gender expansiveness. This term refers to a person’s self‐identifying as gender fluid, genderqueer, transgender, non‐binary, gender diverse, or gender nonconforming. Young people, including older children and adolescents, increasingly are experimenting with crossing gender lines. This trend can be understood as a sociocultural process for humanizing more terrifying archetypal forms of gender diversity. Using Henderson’s (1988) concept of the cultural unconscious, the author posits that current social developments among youth are attempting to bring gender expansiveness more into collective consciousness. This issue has occasioned a strong counterreaction with panicked appeals to upholding traditional gender norms and needing restrictions on gender‐affirming care. Examples from myth, literature and clinical practice help to contextualize the intense emotions aroused by gender diversity. A case example shows how gender fantasies are worked through within an empathic analytic relationship. The author makes an appeal for updating and humanizing older psychological theories that have relied heavily on splits, polarities, and oppositions, all of which are more characteristic of a 20th century way of thinking about the psyche. A potential approach to incorporate gender expansiveness is through a model of the psyche as a mosaic.
Teachers' non‐response bias in questionnaires about their attitude towards inclusive education
Authors: Guillemot Françoise , Lacroix Florence , Nocus Isabelle 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe attitude of teachers towards inclusive education is a key issue for the success of inclusive education. Many studies have been designed to assess teachers' attitudes, but none have looked at the bias caused by teachers' non‐response to questionnaires on their attitudes. Non‐response biases are difficult to identify because it is impossible to access the responses of individuals who do not wish to reply. It is therefore necessary to use other data. This article examines the non‐response biases of teachers in questionnaires about their attitude towards inclusive education by cross‐checking the responses of parents of children with a disability (N = 382) regarding the quality of their child's inclusion and the responses or non‐responses of teachers to questionnaires about their attitude (N = 48 responses). This study shows that the non‐responses of teachers are not random and are associated with poorer well‐being and social inclusion at school, a lower sense of belonging and higher levels of bullying. This significant non‐response bias of teachers leads us to question the existence of a potential positivity bias in previous studies.

AbstractThe Yarlung Tsangpo River on the Tibetan Plateau provides a unique natural environment for studying fish evolution and ecology. However, the genomes and genetic diversity of plateau fish species have been rarely reported. Schizopygopsis younghusbandi, a highly specialized Schizothoracine species and economically important fish inhabiting the Yarlung Tsangpo River, is threatened by overfishing and biological invasion. Herein, we generated a chromosome‐level genome of S. younghusbandi and whole‐genome resequencing data for 59 individuals from six locations of the river. The results showed that the divergence time between S. younghusbandi and other primitive Schizothoracine species was ∼4.2 Mya, coinciding with the major phase of the Neogene Tibetan uplift. The expanded gene families enriched in DNA integration and replication, ion binding and transport, energy storage, and metabolism likely contribute to the adaption of this species. The S. younghusbandi may have diverged from other highly specialized Schizothoracine species in the Zanda basin during the Pliocene epoch, which underwent major population reduction possibly due to the drastic climate change during the last glacial period. Population analysis indicated that the ancient population might have originated upstream before gradually adapting to evolve into the populations inhabiting the mid‐stream and downstream regions of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. In conclusion, the chromosome‐level genome and population diversity of S. younghusbandi provide valuable genetic resources for the evolution, ecology, and conservation studies of endemic fishes on the Tibetan Plateau.

AbstractSeasonings like garlic, ginger, and scallion provide spicy and masking flavor or aroma in vegetables. However, the method or technique used for drying these spices can affect the flavor profile. Therefore, this review focuses on vegetable seasonings like ginger, garlic, and scallion, the characteristic flavor of fresh and dehydrated vegetable seasoning, and how drying methods (freeze‐drying [FD], convective hot air drying [HAD], infrared drying, microwave drying [MW]), and other recent dryers (swirling fluidized bed [SFB], pulsed‐vacuum dryer, relative humidity‐convective dryer, etc.) affect the flavor profile of the common vegetable seasonings. HAD increases α‐zingiberene, reduces gingerol, and forms β‐citral and citral in fresh ginger. FD increased sesquiterpenes, retained terpenoids, sulfides, and other volatiles in fresh ginger, and did not produce new volatile compounds (VOCs) in garlic. SFB drying better preserves 6‐gingerol than FD and HAD. MW increases trisulfides and cyclic sulfur compounds in garlic. In general, drying, especially thermal drying reduces the VOCs in fresh garlic, ginger, and scallion and causes the formation of new VOCs.
Dynamics of cyanogenic glycosides in apple and plum fruits, products, and byproducts: A concise review
Authors: Kristl Janja , Golenač Lucija Praprotnik , Sem Vilma 
Published: October 2024

AbstractApples (Malus domestica) and plums (Prunus domestica) are important fruit crops belonging to the Rosaceae family. The edible parts of fruits and seeds contain phytochemicals; however, the seeds are rich in cyanogenic glycosides (CNGs), which release toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) upon the loss of plant cell integrity. This review aims to explore the quantitative and qualitative CNG profiles in apples and plums, focusing on their distribution in different parts of the fruit, changes during fruit development, and environmental impacts on their biosynthesis. It also discusses the intricate dynamics of CNGs in processed fruits and waste‐derived products and the effects of the processing methods on CNG content. There is considerable variation in the CNG content of fruit crops, as well as in its distribution in fruit parts other than seeds and shifts during fruit maturation. Although several studies have attempted to explain this variability by the influence of cultivars and exogenous factors, there is insufficient evidence to draw reliable conclusions. Furthermore, due to the lack of studies, the dynamics of CNGs during the storage of fresh or preserved fruit remains unaddressed. In the context of reusing plum stones from waste to produce distillates, it is recommended to monitor the HCN content in the products during storage, as it can increase significantly over time. Processing methods influence CNG levels, with strategies like seed separation, soaking, and microwave heating showing promise in reducing cyanide (CN−) presence. The insights from this review will provide direction for future detailed research.
Osteoporosis and inflammation: Cause to effect or comorbidity?
Authors: Khoury Majda I. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractOsteoporosis (OP) was long viewed as an inevitable process of aging, due to an imbalance between osteoclast bone resorbing and osteoblast bone formation function, leading to a negative balance in bone remodeling. This leads to low bone mass and increased bone fragility putting the patient at risk for fracture. While this view still holds, a better understanding disclosed that OP can occur at any age, as a comorbidity or a complication of many diseases and treatments. Differentiation, maturation, and function of osteoclasts and osteoblasts are affected by many factors from different morbidities: endocrine, metabolic, mechanical and inflammatory. Inflammatory diseases are often complicated by a generalized bone loss that subsequently leads to OP. Factors such as glucocorticoid treatment, immobilization, malnutrition, and insufficient intake of vitamin D play a role. However, the inflammatory process itself is involved and the resulting bone loss is termed immune‐mediated bone loss. Experiments on animals and on humans, in addition to clinical studies, shed light on the role of inflammation in OP.
Food and fraud: On the Codfather and harvest mislabeling
Authors: DePiper Geret , Holzer Jorge 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe study incentives to mislabel output in multispecies fisheries managed by tradeable catch shares. Firms can save quota costs by misreporting species harvested, as seen in criminal proceedings against the Codfather. We show that price elasticities for the abundant species reported in the cheating will be higher for compliant than non‐compliant firms. Using data from the New England groundfish fishery, we test this prediction using a latent class hedonic price equation to identify compliant versus non‐compliant firms. We then estimate multi‐output technologies for compliant and noncompliant firms to identify differences in substitution possibilities. Our empirical results align with theoretical expectations and are robust to placebo tests.

AbstractBackgroundMobile health (mHealth) technology use may reduce alcohol use and related negative consequences; however, little is known about its efficacy without prompting from researchers or pay‐per‐use. This exploratory analysis assessed relationships between mHealth technology use frequency and alcohol‐use outcomes.MethodsYoung adults who drink heavily (N = 97, Mage = 23, 51% male, 64% non‐Hispanic White, Mdrinks/week = 21) had the option to use three mHealth technologies (breathalyzer device/app, blood alcohol content estimator app, drink counting via text message) while drinking for 2 weeks. Relationships between alcohol‐related outcomes and any, multiple, and specific mHealth technology use across study days and drinking days were evaluated via bivariate correlations and multiple regressions.ResultsParticipants used one or more mHealth technologies on approximately 68% of drinking days (33% of field days), with multiple technologies used on 34% of drinking days. Bivariate correlations revealed that a higher percentage of study days with any mHealth technology use was related to higher mean weekly drinks. However, a higher percentage of drinking days with any mHealth technology use was related to lower mean weekly drinks, percent of heavy and high‐intensity drinking days, and negative consequences. There were several significant, inverse correlations between alcohol variables and using the mHealth technologies that provided personalized feedback. Multiple regression analyses (holding sex and baseline alcohol variables constant) indicated that a higher percentage of drinking days with any mHealth technology use was related to lower mean weekly drinks and lower percentage of heavy drinking days.ConclusionsUsing mHealth technologies to moderate drinking without direct prompting from the research team or per‐use incentives was related to less overall alcohol use and heavy drinking. This indicates potential real‐world engagement with mHealth apps to assist with in‐the‐moment drinking. Normalizing mHealth technology use during drinking could help curb the public health crisis around harmful alcohol use in young adult populations.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundObesity is an important health problem worldwide. The prevalence of obesity in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) is the third highest amongst OECD countries. Previous studies have demonstrated inequity in the provision of bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) across AoNZ, but detailed data regarding patients and surgical outcomes is lacking. The aim of this study is to examine the rates and outcomes of BMS between patients domiciled in a metropolitan versus provincial area in AoNZ.MethodsA 5‐year retrospective observational cohort study of all patients who received BMS domiciled in a metropolitan or a provincial area in the Northern region of AoNZ was performed. Interrogation of patient electronic medical records and clinical notes was performed to collect the required baseline characteristics, secondary outcome measure data and confirm domicile.ResultsThe rate of BMS was 6.1 times higher in the population with class III obesity domiciled in the metropolitan versus the provincial population. Patients in the metropolitan area were less obese, had lower rates of diabetes and had a wider range of procedures performed. Māori were underrepresented in both cohorts. There was a higher resolution of diabetes in the provincial patients.ConclusionThis study has highlighted significant differences in the rate, type and outcomes of BMS between a metropolitan and provincial area in the Northern region of AoNZ. This represents a significant health inequity. Changes in national and regional policies are needed to ensure equitable care for patients with obesity in AoNZ.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy: How and when supervisor bottom‐line mentality hinders employee creativity

Published: October 2024

AbstractBased on the conservation of resources theory, this study investigates how and when supervisor bottom‐line mentality (i.e., one‐dimensional thinking that exclusively focuses on economic bottom‐line goals to the neglect of competing priorities) relates to employee creativity. We propose that supervisor bottom‐line mentality reduces employee psychological availability, resulting in decreased employee creativity. Additionally, psychological detachment, which allows employees to recover from job strain and to regain physical energy and psychological resources, serves as a buffer that weakens the indirect negative relationship between supervisor bottom‐line mentality and employee creativity through psychological availability. Empirical analyses using time‐lagged data from 540 employees of a hospital in eastern China (sample A) and 306 academic graduate students in Chinese universities (sample B) support all hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Published: October 2024

SummaryThe clinical and prognostic implications of nodal involvement (NI) in Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) are largely unknown. In this study, we explored the impact of NI on clinical presentation and outcome in a population‐based cohort of 469 patients with WM, consecutively diagnosed between 2000 and 2022. NI was detected in 34% of patients and was associated with symptomatic disease, adverse prognostic factors, an increased risk of transformation, and lymphoma‐related death. Our findings indicate that NI is of prognostic significance in WM, suggesting a need for enhanced surveillance in these patients.
The ecological and evolutionary dynamics of inselbergs

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTIslands are fundamental model systems in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology. However, terrestrial islands, unlike their aquatic counterparts, have received comparatively less attention. Among these land islands, inselbergs (i.e. isolated rock outcrops with diverse lithologies and a modest topographical prominence) stand out as iconic examples distributed worldwide across global biomes. Due to their durable lithology, inselbergs change slowly, persisting for tens of millions of years. In this review, we propose a biological definition for inselbergs that captures three fundamental characteristics of inselbergs from the perspective of biota. These are old age, isolation and the presence of unique microhabitats that are rare or absent in the surrounding matrix, fostering distinct communities often with unique and endemic biota. We synthesise the state of the art and formulate a set of testable hypotheses to deepen our understanding of the origins and maintenance of diversity on inselbergs, which are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic threats. By offering different habitats compared to the surrounding habitat matrix (e.g. moist microhabitats in dryland landscapes and xeric environments in humid tropical landscapes), inselbergs may allow specific lineages to thrive beyond their typical geographical limits. Particularly in drylands and degraded landscapes, inselbergs may not just provide different habitats but also act as ecological refuges or evolutionary refugia by providing a wider range of potential microhabitats than the surrounding matrix, enhancing resilience and promoting regional biodiversity. The central role of the matrix ensures that the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of inselbergs differ from those of true islands such as oceanic islands. Given that inselberg biota coexist within a terrestrial matrix, interactions between inselberg and matrix populations impact each other significantly. Over evolutionary timescales, matrix species may contract to inselberg refugia, preserving lineages while cycles of isolation and reconnection may drive speciation via a species pump. Although inselberg biodiversity has been studied predominantly from an island biogeography perspective, we argue that depending on the spatial scale, habitat specificity and mobility of the organisms considered, a range of different theories and paradigms can help explain the biogeography and local distribution patterns of different taxonomic and functional groups of inselberg species.
MEF2C Alleviates Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction by Repressing Ferroptosis

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundFerroptosis, a form of programmed cell death featured by lipid peroxidation, has been proposed as a potential etiology for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Myocyte‐specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C), a transcription factor expressed in various brain cell types, has been implicated in cognitive disorders. This study sought to ascertain whether MEF2C governs postoperative cognitive capacity by affecting ferroptosis.MethodsTranscriptomic analysis of public data was used to identify MEF2C as a candidate differentially expressed gene in the hippocampus of POCD mice. The POCD mouse model was established via aseptic laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia after treatment with recombinant adeno‐associated virus 9 (AAV9)‐mediated overexpression of MEF2C and/or the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inhibitor RSL3. Cognitive performance, Nissl staining, and ferroptosis‐related parameters were assessed. Dual‐luciferase reporter gene assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were implemented to elucidate the mechanism by which MEF2C transcriptionally activates GPX4.ResultsMEF2C mRNA and protein levels decreased in the mouse hippocampus following anesthesia and surgery. MEF2C overexpression ameliorated postoperative memory decline, hindered lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation, and enhanced antioxidant capacity, which were reversed by RSL3. Additionally, MEF2C was found to directly bind to the Gpx4 promoter and activate its transcription.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that MEF2C may be a promising therapeutic target for POCD through its negative modulation of ferroptosis.
