A novel deep learning method to use feature complementarity for review helpfulness prediction
Authors: Li Xinzhe , Li Qinglong , Jeong Dasom , Kim Jaekyeong 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Most previous studies predicting review helpfulness ignored the significance of deep features embedded in review text and instead relied on hand-crafted features. Hand-crafted and deep features have the advantages of high interpretability and predictive accuracy. This study aims to propose a novel review helpfulness prediction model that uses deep learning (DL) techniques to consider the complementarity between hand-crafted and deep features.

Design/methodology/approach
First, an advanced convolutional neural network was applied to extract deep features from unstructured review text. Second, this study used previous studies to extract hand-crafted features that impact the helpfulness of reviews and enhance their interpretability. Third, this study incorporated deep and hand-crafted features into a review helpfulness prediction model and evaluated its performance using the Yelp.com data set. To measure the performance of the proposed model, this study used 2,417,796 restaurant reviews.

Findings
Extensive experiments confirmed that the proposed methodology performs better than traditional machine learning methods. Moreover, this study confirms through an empirical analysis that combining hand-crafted and deep features demonstrates better prediction performance.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to apply DL techniques and use structured and unstructured data to predict review helpfulness in the restaurant context. In addition, an advanced feature-fusion method was adopted to better use the extracted feature information and identify the complementarity between features.
It’s not just “who” you know, but “how” you know them: how social and commercial relationships differentially influence customer discounts
Authors: Johnson Bryan , Ross William T. 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to contribute to previous research on customer relationships by quantitatively examining differences in the monetary benefits obtained by consumers using social and commercial relationships to make purchases from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach
Customer transaction and relationship data from an SME in the USA is used to quantitatively assess the value of different marketplace relationships in an entrepreneurial context. Tobit regression is used to empirically model and test the impact of specific relationship characteristics on customer discounts.

Findings
Customers using social connections to make purchases obtain significantly larger discounts than customers using commercial connections; customers using direct connections attain significantly larger discounts than consumers using indirect connections (referrals). Interestingly, when examined by connection type, direct and indirect connections do not produce significant differences for social connections, yet they yield notable differences for commercial connections. The findings provide valuable insights to entrepreneurs for understanding and managing customer relationships.

Originality/value
This study empirically demonstrates that social relationships can be both prevalent and influential in the marketplace. The methodology used to quantitatively assess the monetary value associated with different methods of engaging with SMEs allows objective comparisons among different types of customer relationships. Quantification also allows important relationship characteristics to be empirically examined, including how the relationships compare to one another and to nonpersonal marketing activities. Ultimately, these novel contributions generate important insights to help marketers and entrepreneurs better understand customer relationships.
Does audit quality affect auditors’ career development? Evidence from Chinese audit firms’ demise
Authors: Chen Hanwen , Feng Yang , Kou Aiju , Liu Siyi 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
This study aims to test the effect of individual audit quality on career advancement the audit labour market.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper uses data on auditors from two collapsed audit firms in China, namely, Ruihua and Zhengzhong Zhujiang, and tests the effect of individual audit quality on career advancement in the audit labour market.

Findings
The baseline results show that high-quality audits promote auditors’ career advancement. Our results hold after a battery of robustness tests. Further analyses support our hypothesis, indicating that client retention and audit fees are positively related to auditors’ prior audit quality. The effect of audit quality on career advancement does not hold for auditors from sanctioned branch offices or for auditors with prior culpable clients, as shared reputation damage can weaken the effect of high audit quality. Furthermore, this paper investigates whether the reputation enhancement effect of high audit quality can be strengthened by auditor experience, the title of “senior auditor” and IPO auditing experience. We also show that clients and audit firms place more weight on the quality of audits conducted by auditors in competitive markets and auditors with engagements matched with industries.

Originality/value
Together, these findings indicate the vital role of individual audit quality in auditors’ career development in the audit labour market, consistent with the reputation rationale for audit quality.

Published: May 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the interfacial adhesion between superhydrophobic coatings FC-X (X = 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) and the concrete substrate, along with the impact of FC-X on the water repellency characteristics of the concrete substrate.

Design/methodology/approach
One synthetic step was adopted to prepare novel F-SiO2 NP hybrid fluororesin coating. The impact of varying mass fractions of F-SiO2 NPs on the superhydrophobicity of FC-X was analyzed and subsequently confirmed through water contact angle (WCA) measurements. Superhydrophobic coatings were simply applied to the concrete substrate using a one-step spraying method. The interfacial adhesion between FC-X and the concrete substrate was analyzed using tape pasting tests and abrasion resistance measurements. The influence of FC-X on the water repellency of the concrete substrate was investigated through measurements of water absorption, impermeability and electric flux.

Findings
FC-4% exhibits excellent superhydrophobicity, with a WCA of 157.5° and a sliding angle of 2.3°. Compared to control sample, FC-X exhibits better properties, including chemical durability, wear resistance, adhesion strength, abrasion resistance, water resistance and impermeability.

Practical implications
This study offers a thorough investigation into the practical implications of enhancing the durability and water repellency of concrete substrates by using superhydrophobic coatings, particularly FC-4%, which demonstrates exceptional superhydrophobicity alongside remarkable chemical durability, wear resistance, adhesion strength, abrasion resistance, water resistance and impermeability.

Originality/value
Through the examination of the interfacial adhesion between FC-X and the concrete substrate, along with an assessment of FC-X’s impact on the water repellency of the concrete, this paper provides valuable insights into the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings in enhancing the durability and performance of concrete materials.
Leaving loneliness alone: a brief research report on the pathways to (digital) solutions involving older adults
Authors: Guerra Sara , Ribeiro Oscar , Carvalho Rita , Sousa Liliana 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Older adults often experience loneliness as a vicious circle, in which loneliness builds more loneliness. Breaking this cycle is key to minimize the experience of loneliness. MOAI LABS is a European project that adopts a codesign process to develop digital solutions to address loneliness in older adults. This study aims to adopt a solution-based approach to capture solutions that community-dwelling older Portuguese adults who feel loneliness already experience in their lives.

Design/methodology/approach
Six individuals (aged 64–86 years) answered two solution-based questions: miracle and exceptions. Findings were obtained from one group discussion session that was audio-recorded, transcribed and submitted to qualitative analysis.

Findings
Main findings suggest that participants feel comfort in imagining their desired scenarios that involve being with their loved ones, better health conditions, adequate housing settings and contact with nature.

Originality/value
The findings highlight that leaving loneliness alone seems to be a path that may be facilitated by digital solutions that display solution-based questions, such as online platforms for social connection, virtual care and monitoring, design of smart home devices and the creation of immersive virtual reality experiences to explore nature, complemented by psychosocial support.

AbstractHighways, the lifeline of the Brazilian economy, transport approximately 75% of the country's economic activity, highlighting its importance. However, professional drivers, accustomed to long daily journeys, make use of tablets widely available in Gas Station, which are known as “Rebites,” which could contain a mixture of legal and illegal compounds. Thus, this study aims at the chemical characterization of these through different analytical methods. Initially, we performed a comprehensive screening of compounds present in seven samples collected across the country using high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The findings revealed caffeine as the main compound, alongside theophylline, lidocaine, and clobenzorex, among others. In the next step, we employ quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) to quantify the caffeine content in the tablets. The results indicated a caffeine concentration ranging between 14% and 31% (m/m), which may imply a daily overdose of this compound from around four tablets. In summary, this investigation provides a chemical characterization of real samples of “Rebites” freely obtained along Brazilian highways. Caffeine emerged as the predominant active compound, with its concentration determined by qNMR analysis. The notable presence of caffeine, combined with other stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens, underscores the need for strict quality control measures regarding “Rebites” to safeguard public health.

AbstractCitrus fruits are a diverse and economically important group of fruit crops known for their distinctive flavors and high nutritional value. Their cultivation and consumption contribute significantly to the global agricultural economy and offer a wide range of health benefits. Among the genetic diversity of citrus species, Citrus x limon (L.) Osbeck is particularly relevant due to its chemical composition and potential health benefits. Two cultivars from the Sicily region (southern Italy) were compared for their phenolic content and preliminary antioxidant activity to select the distinctive extract with potential biological activity. A detailed characterization revealed the occurrence of phenolics, coumarins, and flavonoids. The quantification of metabolites contained in the selected extract was performed by an ultrahigh‐performance liquid chromatographic method coupled with an ultraviolet detector. Different concentrations were tested in vivo through the fish embryo acute toxicity test, and the 50% lethal dose of 107,833 µg mL−1 was calculated. Finally, the effect of the extract on hatching was evaluated, and a dose‐dependent relationship with the accelerated hatching rate was reported, suggesting a Femminello Zagara Bianca green peel upregulating effect on the hatching enzymes.Practical ApplicationCitrus fruits and their products continue to be one of the natural food sources with the highest waste output. In this study, we demonstrate how food industry waste, particularly lemon peel, is rich in bioactive compounds with anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may be used in the nutraceuticals industry.

Published: May 2024

AbstractSociety's interest in natural and clean products in many areas, such as food and cosmetics, has increased considerably. It has led to the development of new techniques in the packaging of products so that the wastes from the preferred products can be recycled. In this context, Pinus brutia bark was preferred within the scope of the study to transform natural wastes into functional components and use them as packaging material. P. brutia bark (PBB) samples were collected from Bursa, Turkey. PBB samples were ultrasonically extracted using various solvents (acetone, butanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol, petroleum ether, and water) and a solvent‐acidic hydrolysis system. The phenolic content profile of PBB samples was determined using high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode‐array detection, and total flavonoid content, antioxidant capacity, and total phenolic content were determined. Chitosan‐polyvinyl alcohol (CS‐PVA) films loaded with polysaccharides and containing methanolic extract were developed. The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the films were characterized. It is known that the thickness of the films determines the mechanical properties required to maintain the integrity of the packaging during storage and transport. From the results of the study, it was concluded that the elongation at break value was higher in CS‐PVA‐PBB‐M films (111.08% ± 10.46%), Young's modulus (31.74 ± 21.37 N/mm2), and tensile strength (3.01 ± 0.50 N/mm2) values were higher in CS‐PVA films. In this case, it was concluded that adding proanthocyanidin to edible films gives flexibility to the films.

Authors: Wei Yimei , Wang Dandan , Wu Juan , Zhang Jie 
Published: May 2024

AbstractBackgroundJAK inhibitors are well known for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but whether they can be used to treat pulmonary fibrosis, a common extra‐articular disease of RA, remains to be clarified.MethodsA jak2 inhibitor, CEP33779 (CEP), was administered to a rat model of RA‐associated interstitial lung disease to observe the degree of improvement in both joint swelling and pulmonary fibrosis. HFL1 cells were stimulated with TGF‐β1 to observe the expression of p‐JAK2. Then, different concentrations of related gene inhibitors (JAK2, TGFβ‐R1/2, and p‐STAT3) or silencers (STAT3, JAK2) were administered to HFL1 cells, and the expression levels of related proteins were detected to explore the underlying mechanisms of action.ResultsCEP not only reduced the degree of joint swelling and inflammation in rats but also improved lung function, inhibited the pro‐inflammatory factors IL‐1β and IL‐6, reduced lung inflammation and collagen deposition, and alleviated lung fibrosis. CEP decreased the expression levels of TGFβ‐R2, p‐SMAD, p‐STAT3, and ECM proteins in rat lung tissues. TGF‐β1 induced HFL1 cells to highly express p‐JAK2, with the most pronounced expression at 48 h. The levels of p‐STAT3, p‐SMAD3, and ECM‐related proteins were significantly reduced after inhibition of either JAK2 or STAT3.ConclusionJAK2 inhibitors may be an important and novel immunotherapeutic drug that can improve RA symptoms while also delaying or blocking the development of associated pulmonary fibrotic disease. The mechanism may be related to the downregulation of p‐STAT3 protein via inhibition of the JAK2/STAT signaling pathway, which affects the phosphorylation of SMAD3.
Berberine inhibits the progression of breast cancer by regulating METTL3‐mediated m6A modification of FGF7 mRNA
Authors: Fu Wei , Liu Lixin , Tong Suiju 
Published: May 2024

AbstractBackgroundBerberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid from Coptidis rhizoma, has been found to have powerful activities against various human malignancies, including breast cancer. However, the underlying antitumor mechanisms of BBR in breast cancer remain poorly understood.MethodsBreast cancer cells were cultured and treated with different doses (0, 20, 40, and 60 μM) of BBR for 48 h. Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration were assessed using 3‐(4, 5‐dimethyl‐2‐thiazolyl)‐2, 5‐diphenyl‐2H‐tetrazolium bromide (MTT), 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU), flow cytometry, transwell, and wound healing assays. Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7), methyltransferase‐like 3 (METTL3), and insulin‐like growth factor‐2 mRNA‐binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) mRNA levels and protein levels were measured using real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) and western blot. Interaction between METTL3 and FGF7 m6A was assessed using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP)‐qPCR and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Binding ability between IGF2BP3 and FGF7 mRNA was analyzed using RIP assay.ResultsBBR treatment hindered breast cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and induced apoptosis. FGF7 expression was upregulated in breast cancer tissues, while its level was reduced in BBR‐treated tumor cells. FGF7 upregulation relieved the repression of BBR on breast cancer cell malignant behaviors. In mechanism, METTL3 stabilized FGF7 mRNA through the m6A‐IGF2BP3‐dependent mechanism and naturally improved FGF7 expression. BBR treatment inhibited breast cancer growth in vivo.ConclusionBBR treatment blocked breast cancer cell growth and metastasis partly by regulating METTL3‐mediated m6A modification of FGF7 mRNA, providing a promising therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.
Methylisothiazolinone sensitisation in New Zealand is decreasing
Authors: Lee Hyun Kyoung , Kennedy Harriet 
Published: May 2024

AbstractBackground/ObjectivesIn the last 10 years methylisothiazolinone (MI) emerged as a global cause of preservative‐related ACD. New Zealand has liberal regulations for the MI concentration limit in cosmetic products compared to Europe and Australia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of MI sensitisation in New Zealand, explore sources of MI exposure and make recommendations on New Zealand regulations for MI use.MethodsThis retrospective study included data from patients who underwent patch testing with MI from 2008 to 2021 in a tertiary hospital dermatology clinic and a private dermatology clinic in Auckland, New Zealand. Patient baseline characteristics were recorded along with results of patch testing. Sources of MI exposure were identified from medical records.ResultsOver the study period, 1049 patch tests were performed in 1044 patients. MI was only tested as a stand‐alone allergen from 2015; positive reactions to MI increased from 5.3% in 2015 to a peak of 11.9% in 2017 and then decreased to 6.4% in 2021. The most common source of MI exposure was shampoo or conditioner (27.7% of all relevant reactions) followed by occupational exposures to paints, biocides or glue (19.1%).ConclusionBoth sensitisation and ACD to MI appear to be decreasing, likely secondary to changes in product compounding due to stricter concentration limits internationally. We recommend New Zealand adopt lower MI concentration limits for cosmetics to match the limits of Australia and Europe.

Published: May 2024

AbstractIntroductionSecond‐degree perineal tears following vaginal birth are common and presumed to be of little clinical importance. However, the extent of damage to the perineal body varies widely, and there is reason to believe that larger second‐degree tears may be associated with more pelvic floor symptoms, compared to lesser form. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess differences in pelvic floor symptoms according to the severity of second‐degree perineal tears up to 12 months post‐partum, stratified by parity.Material and MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted at Akershus University Hospital, a tertiary referral hospital in Norway. The study sample consisted of 409 primiparas and 394 multiparas with vaginal births. Perineal tears were classified using the classification system recommended by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Further, second‐degree tears were subclassified as 2A, 2B, or 2C, depending on the percentage of damage to the perineal body. Episiotomies were analyzed as a separate group. Pelvic floor symptoms were assessed using the Karolinska Symptoms After Perineal Tear Inventory (KAPTAIN). A linear mixed model was estimated to assess the trend in pelvic floor symptom scores according to perineal tear category and stratified by parity. The primary and secondary outcome measures were the mean sum scores of the KAPTAIN‐Inventory, measured in pregnancy (at 18 weeks of gestation), at 3‐ and 12 months post‐partum, and the reported impact of genital discomfort on quality of life measured in pregnancy and at 12 months post‐partum.ResultsThere were no significant differences in pelvic floor symptom scores over time, or at any timepoint, between no tear, first‐degree tear, or second‐degree tear subcategories, for primi‐, and multiparas. Pelvic floor symptoms increased from pregnancy to 3 months post‐partum and remained higher at 12 months post‐partum compared to pregnancy in all perineal tear categories. Compared to primiparas, multiparas reported a significantly higher impact of genital discomfort on quality of life in pregnancy and at 12 months post‐partum.ConclusionsThere were no statistically significant differences in pelvic floor symptoms according to the severity of second‐degree perineal tears.
