Igniting a knowledge renaissance: revolutionising entrepreneurial ecosystems with transactive memory systems
Authors: Mohammadparst Tabas Abdollah , Kansheba Jonathan Mukiza , Theodoraki Christina 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Prior research has extensively explored the dynamics of knowledge creation and transfer within entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). However, the research on knowledge integration within EEs, particularly by entrepreneurs, remains scant. Garnering and effectively using knowledge in such a dynamic and complex environment can provide entrepreneurs with a valuable asset for gaining a competitive advantage. To address this gap, this study aims to explore how entrepreneurs garner and capitalise on knowledge within the EE environment by using a transactive memory system lens.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on 26 semi-structured interviews with different actors and members of the same ecosystem – the northern Finnish health tech ecosystem. The data were analysed using the Gioia methodology.

Findings
This study results found that transactive memory processes (i.e. knowledge specialisation, credibility and coordination) and structures (i.e. differentiated-, shared- and meta-knowledge) influence knowledge organising in EEs.

Originality/value
This study provides a conceptual interplay between the EE and the transactive memory system’s processes and structures.
Leveraging consumer chronic time pressure and time management to improve retail venue outcomes
Authors: Elmashhara Maher Georges , Soares Ana Maria 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Consumer choices are influenced by available resources, and time is increasingly recognised as a valuable and scarce resource. This study aims to assess the effect of chronic time pressure (CTP) on the desire to stay in retail venues (DTS), considering the mediating role of utilitarian and hedonic shopping motivations and the moderating role of time management (TM); and examine the role of DTS in enhancing the shopping outcomes of satisfaction, patronage intentions and positive word-of-mouth (WOM).

Design/methodology/approach
Two survey-based studies were conducted, employing structural equation modelling (SEM) and Hayes’ PROCESS Model No. 1 to test the proposed model.

Findings
The findings indicate that CTP does not have a direct impact on shopping utilitarian motivations or DTS. However, it has a direct effect on hedonic motivations that mediate the path from CTP to DTS. In addition, TM positively moderates both paths from CTP and hedonic motivations to DTS. Finally, the results demonstrate that reinforcing shopper DTS leads to increased satisfaction, patronage intentions and positive WOM.

Research limitations/implications
Based on the findings, theoretical contributions and actionable managerial implications regarding how to leverage CTP and TM to enhance shopper engagement and retail venue outcomes are discussed.

Originality/value
While prior research has often focused on situational time pressure, this study concentrates on CTP and examines the impact of perceived time constraints and feeling rushed on utilitarian and hedonic shopping motivations and DTS. Moreover, the study tests the moderating role of TM and provides evidence that DTS leads to other desirable shopping outcomes.
Developing a local behaviour change intervention for increased biowaste sorting: a social marketing formative study
Authors: Temmerman Laura , Veeckman Carina 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to describe a case study of a formative study for the development of a social marketing campaign for increased biowaste sorting. In following the social marketing principles, it provides insights for practitioners willing to implement behaviour change interventions.

Design/methodology/approach
The case study describes the scoping review, expert interviews, online survey and focus groups, which were integrated to comprehend the specificities of biowaste sorting in the South Suburbs of Athens. This mixed-method research design enabled a comprehensive understanding of biowaste sorting practices that would not have been attainable through a single method.

Findings
This study found that the “descriptive norm” and “perceived controllability” significantly influenced biowaste sorting. Differential challenges of at-home and out-of-home sorting were also identified. The demand for more information was also highlighted. The tailored intervention comprises of a mix of behavioural modelling, persuasive communication, education and enablement.

Originality/value
By concretely showcasing how the integration of multiple research methods through the application of social marketing principles can guide the design of a tailored behaviour change intervention, this paper offers an outline for informed decision-making and strategic planning in the realm of (environmental) behaviour change.
Predicting key ectotherm population mortality in response to dynamic marine heatwaves: A Bayesian‐enhanced thermal tolerance landscape approach
Authors: Vajedsamiei Jahangir , Warlo Niklas , Meier H. E. Markus , Melzner Frank 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

As climate change intensifies heatwaves, quantifying associated mortality within ectothermic populations is crucial for effective conservation. Thermal tolerance landscape (TTL) models are useful predictive tools that assume exponentially decreasing survival durations in individuals with increasing temperatures. This assumption has been validated through regression analyses on data from constant temperature experiments, primarily focusing on adult‐stage individuals. However, this approach does not allow for direct model validation with data from dynamic, real‐world heatwave events and overlooks early recruitment stage vulnerabilities.

This study aimed to address these gaps using the blue mussel Mytilus, a foundation species forming extensive reefs along temperate coasts, as a model organism. We monitored survival rates of mussels (juveniles and adults) under constant heatwave (CHW) conditions in a laboratory experiment and under dynamic heatwave (DHW) scenarios simulated in an outdoor mesocosm experiment. Post‐heatwaves, we also assessed recruitment rates within the mesocosms. TTL models were parametrised by employing Approximate Bayesian Computation with Sequential Monte Carlo (ABC‐SMC) on each dataset separately.

The parameter distributions were similar across both experiments, and the ABC‐SMC model predictions closely matched the observed survival declines, validating these models. In comparison, we found a lower predictive performance when using a Bayesian regression approach. Additionally, our best‐fit model predicted that warming across the non‐fatal DHW regimes would increase sublethal effects on mussels. The observed impact on the recruitment stage was more pronounced, with the recruitment rate following an exponential decay as sublethal effects increased. Our model projected minor (<4%) sublethal effects in adult mussels during the century's five warmest summer temperature regimes, corresponding to 0%–32% declines in recruitment rates.

Our research extends the TTL model validation, demonstrates the resilience of subtidal Baltic Mytilus to future extreme heatwaves and offers an approach to predict heatwave‐induced population mortalities, applicable to other species and sensitive systems.

Phylogenetic relationships and plant life stage but not biogeographic history mediate priority effects of European grassland plants
Authors: Dieskau Julia , Hensen Isabell , Eisenhauer Nico , Gaberle Ingmar , Durka Walter , Lachmuth Susanne , Auge Harald 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

The timing and order of species arrival have been shown to be a significant factor in the assembly of biotic communities. Therefore, understanding priority effects, which refer to the impact of an early‐arriving species on a later‐arriving one, can help us better predict community assembly processes. However, little is known about the role of phylogenetic distance (PD) in priority effects and how they are mediated by the biogeographic history (BH) and the life stages (LSs) of interacting species.

To shed light on the role of PD in priority effects, we conducted a multispecies greenhouse experiment. We created 10 allopatric and 10 sympatric species pairs, representing a PD gradient between early‐ and late‐arriving species from 5 to 270 Myr in evolutionary history and tested the priority effect of early‐arriving species on the late‐arriving species at multiple LSs.

We found evidence of stronger competition between closely related species, as late‐arriving plants produced less above‐ground biomass when the PD was low. However, priority effects varied across the development of late‐arriving plants, as there were no effects on seedling emergence and survival, independent of PD. Regardless of PD, the pairs of allopatric and sympatric species did not differ in their responses.

Synthesis. While many studies have produced contradictory results regarding the effect of PD on plant–plant interactions, our study provides experimental evidence that priority effects can be stronger when PD is small. This effect was independent of BH but varied across different LSs of late‐arriving plants. The dependence of the effect of PD on the LS of late‐arriving species highlights the importance of the timing of interactions for the assembly of plant communities, which could also have significant implications for the fields of invasion and restoration ecology.
Sexual dimorphism of pelvic scarring: A new method of adult biological sex estimation
Authors: Ives Georgina , Johns Sarah E. , Deter Chris 
Published: July 2024

AbstractEstimating biological sex is a crucial aspect of forensic anthropology, and is pivotal in forensic investigations. Presently, the most frequently adopted osteological sex estimation methods focus on the anterior pelvis, which is easily susceptible to postmortem damage, revealing a need for additional accurate methods. This study introduces a novel method for estimating adult sex through metric pelvic scar analysis, using a known skeletal sample (169 females; 51 males). Relationships between sex and scar dimensions were subjected to Kendall's tau‐B testing, and the strongest associated measurements were further analyzed using binary logistic regression to determine their predictive capacity. The final estimation method was tested on an additional known‐sex sample of 43 males and 43 females from the Spitalfields skeletal collection. All associations between biological sex and scar measurements were significant, with the preauricular sulcus and newly defined inferior interosseous cavity presenting the strongest relationships (τb 0.223–0.504). Individual regression models using the approximate volume of each feature predicted sex with over 80% accuracy, but when combined in a single regression model, the accuracy increased to an impressive 97.1%. When then applied to the validation sample, the final estimation model achieved an accuracy of 90.7%. These results highlight the high estimation accuracy achieved by simultaneously utilizing the approximate volume of the sulcus and the inferior cavity. This is not only highly accurate but also utilizes the sturdier posterior pelvis, making it a promising tool for forensic investigations and the wider field of osteology.

AbstractBackgroundThe goal of the research was to examine the value of peripheral blood indicators in forecasting survival and recurrence among people suffering central‐type non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing sleeve lobectomy (SL).MethodsClinical information was gathered from 146 individuals suffering from NSCLC who had SL at our facility between January 2014 and May 2023. Peripheral blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) levels were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to establish the threshold points. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was employed to evaluate the prognostic value of different groupings, and both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model (referred to as COX) were performed.ResultsThe disease‐free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) cutoff values were carried out via ROC analysis. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed notable differences in OS for NLR (≥2.196 vs. <2.196, p = 0.0009), MLR (≥0.2763 vs. <0.2763, p = 0.0018), and PLR (≥126.11 vs. <126.11, p = 0.0354). Similarly, significant differences in DFS were observed for NLR (≥3.010 vs. <3.010, p = 0.0005), MLR (≥0.2708 vs. <0.2708, p = 0.0046), and PLR (≥126.11 vs. <126.11, p = 0.0028). Univariate Cox analysis showed that NLR (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.469; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.416–4.306, p < 0.001), MLR (HR: 2.192, 95% CI: 1.319–3.643, p = 0.002) and PLR (HR: 1.696, 95% CI: 1.029–2.795, p = 0.038) were correlated alongside OS. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that NLR (HR: 2.036, 95% CI: 1.072–3.864, p = 0.030) was a separate OS risk variable. Additionally, the pN stage (HR: 3.163, 95% CI: 1.660–6.027, p < 0.001), NLR (HR: 2.530, 95% CI: 1.468–4.360, p < 0.001), MLR (HR: 2.229, 95% CI: 1.260–3.944, p = 0.006) and PLR (HR: 2.249, 95% CI: 1.300–3.889, p = 0.004) were connected to DFS. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that pN stage (HR: 3.098, 95% CI: 1.619–5.928, p < 0.001) was a separate DFS risk variable.ConclusionThe study demonstrates that NLR, MLR, and PLR play a convenient and cost‐effective role in predicting survival and recurrence among individuals alongside central‐type NSCLC having SL.
Assessing novelty, feasibility and value of creative ideas with an unsupervised approach using GPT‐4
Authors: Kern Felix B. , Wu Chien‐Te , Chao Zenas C. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractCreativity is defined by three key factors: novelty, feasibility and value. While many creativity tests focus primarily on novelty, they often neglect feasibility and value, thereby limiting their reflection of real‐world creativity. In this study, we employ GPT‐4, a large language model, to assess these three dimensions in a Japanese‐language Alternative Uses Test (AUT). Using a crowdsourced evaluation method, we acquire ground truth data for 30 question items and test various GPT prompt designs. Our findings show that asking for multiple responses in a single prompt, using an ‘explain first, rate later’ design, is both cost‐effective and accurate (r = .62, .59 and .33 for novelty, feasibility and value, respectively). Moreover, our method offers comparable accuracy to existing methods in assessing novelty, without the need for training data. We also evaluate additional models such as GPT‐4 Turbo, GPT‐4 Omni and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Comparable performance across these models demonstrates the universal applicability of our prompt design. Our results contribute a straightforward platform for instant AUT evaluation and provide valuable ground truth data for future methodological research.
CircMAN1A2_009 facilitates YBX1 nuclear localization to induce GLO1 activation for cervical adenocarcinoma cell growth

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe molecular mechanisms driving the development of cervical adenocarcinoma (CADC) and optimal patient management strategies remain elusive. In this study, we have identified circMAN1A2_009 as an oncogenic circular RNA (circRNA) in CADC. Clinically, circMAN1A2_009 showed significant upregulation in CADC tissues, with an impressive area under the curve value of 0.8075 for detecting CADC. Functional studies, involving both gain‐of‐function and loss‐of‐function experiments, revealed that circMAN1A2_009 suppressed reactive oxygen species accumulation and apoptosis, and boosted cell viability in CADC cells. Conversely, silencing circMAN1A2_009 reversed these effects. Further mechanistic investigations indicated that circMAN1A2_009 interacted with YBX1, facilitating the phosphorylation levels of YBX1 at serine 102 (p‐YBX1S102) and facilitating YBX1 nuclear localization through sequence 245–251. This interaction subsequently increased the activity of the glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) promoter, leading to the activation of GLO1 expression. Consistently, inhibition of either YBX1 or GLO1 mirrored the biological effects of circMAN1A2_009 in CADC cells. Additionally, knockdown of YBX1 or GLO1 partially reversed the oncogenic behaviors induced by circMAN1A2_009. In conclusion, our findings propose circMAN1A2_009 as a potential oncogene and a promising indicator for diagnosing and guiding therapy in CADC patients.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe generally good prognosis of low‐ and intermediate‐risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) underscored the need to identify those few patients who relapse.DesignRecords of 299 low‐ or intermediate‐risk DTC patients (mean follow‐up 8.2 ± 6.2 years) were retrospectively reviewed. The sample was classified following the American Thyroid Association (ATA) dynamic risk stratification (DRS) system.Patients and MeasurementAfter classifying patients according to DRS at the first visit following initial therapy (FU1), structural recurrence occurred in 2/181 (1.1%), 5/81 (6.2%) and 13/26 (50.0%) with excellent, indeterminate and biochemical incomplete response to treatment, respectively. All relapses but one happened within 5 years from FU1. Univariate analysis comparing excellent, indeterminate and biochemical incomplete with structural incomplete responses at the end of the follow‐up, identified tumour size (p < .001), T status (<0.001), positive lymph nodes (N) (p < .01), multifocality (p < .004), need of additional radioactive iodine (RAI) (p < .0001) and first DRS status (p < .0003) as risk factors of recurrence. In the multivariate analysis, only RAI remained statistically significant (p < .02). Comparison between excellent and indeterminate with biochemical and structural incomplete responses, identified tumour size (p < .0004), T (p < .01), N (p < .0001), bilaterality (p < .03), first DRS status (p < .0001) and RAI (p < .001) as recurrence risk factors. T (p < .01) and first DRS (p < .0006) were confirmed in the multivariate analysis.ConclusionsPatients with DTC classified as low‐ or intermediate‐risk of recurrence with excellent response to treatment at FU1 rarely develop structural disease and this occurs almost exclusively in the first 5 years. Initial DRS status is an accurate tool for determining the risk of recurrence.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjective18F‐Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) allows noninvasive assessment of glucose metabolism and radiodensity in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We aimed to address the effects of ageing and metabolic factors on abdominal adipose tissue.Design, Patients and MeasurementsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 435 healthy men (mean 42.8 years) who underwent a health check‐up programme twice, at baseline and the 5‐year follow‐up. The mean standardized uptake value (SUV) was measured using SAT and VAT and divided by the liver SUV. The mean Hounsfield units (HU) of the SAT and VAT were measured from the CT scans. The effects of clinical variable clusters on SUVR were investigated using Bayesian hierarchical modelling; metabolic cluster (BMI, waist‐to‐hip ratio, fat percentage, muscle percentage*−1, HOMA‐IR), blood pressure (systolic, diastolic), glucose (fasting plasma glucose level, HbA1c) and C‐reactive protein.ResultsAll the clinical variables changed during the 5‐year follow‐up period. The SUVR and HU of the VAT increased during follow‐up; however, those of the SAT did not change. SUVR and HU were positively correlated with both VAT and SAT. SAT and VAT SUVR were negatively associated with metabolic clusters.ConclusionsAgeing led to increased glucose metabolism and radiodensity in VAT, but not in SAT. VAT may reflect the ageing process more directly than SAT. Glucose metabolism was higher and radiodensity was lower in VAT than in SAT, probably owing to differences in gene expression and lipid density. Both glucose metabolism and radiodensity of VAT and SAT reflect metabolic status.
Asymmetric spot‐futures prices adjustments in Quebec grain markets
Authors: Singbo Alphonse , Sossou Dislène 
Published: July 2024

AbstractAsymmetric price transmission has been the subject of many studies in agricultural economics, but few has been said on Quebec grain market. This study uses threshold cointegration models to examine the dynamic relationship between Quebec spot and futures prices. Estimation results with daily, weekly, and monthly data from September 1994 to May 2022 are three‐fold. First, the main point to keep from cointegration tests is that futures prices and Quebec local grain prices are integrated but estimations with daily data are consistent to highlight a nonlinear long‐run relationship. Second, results indicate overall positive asymmetric for daily and weekly prices transmissions from futures to spot market. Third, the positive asymmetric prices transmissions shed light on the oligopoly structure of Quebec grain market and inefficiencies in the pricing mechanism which favor local grain sellers. Results with different data frequencies show that aggregated monthly prices data compared to more disaggregated data such as daily and weekly prices may lead to different results. Results imply that policymakers and market stakeholders could facilitate increased grain market competition. Grain users like Quebec hog producers need to better understand additional tools for their management of price risk like futures market and real time prices movement monitoring.
