The double bottom line of savings banks and credit cooperatives – Insights into lived practice
Authors: Burgstaller Johann , Dietl Katharina , Stötzer Sandra 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Credit cooperatives and savings banks not only fulfill economic purposes, but also pursue social objectives. An orientation towards the common good as part of their hybrid target system leads to positive externalities of their business activities for society, such as the stabilization of the financial sector or the support of vulnerable groups. However, an analysis of current literature and a quantitative study on the lived practice of their social mission show that cooperative and savings banks so far only inadequately communicate the implementation of their values and principles to the public. The article thus offers an insight into the social commitment of Austrian banks and discusses potential obstacles to intensified double bottom line accountability.

Abstract
Lockie, RG, Orr, RM, Montes, F, and Dawes, JJ. A research note exploring the impact of firefighter trainee fitness on academy graduation or release. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—This study investigated the impact of fitness test performance on firefighter trainee ability to graduate an academy using ordinal logistic generalized linear models. Retrospective analysis was conducted on trainee data (N = 686) from one fire department who completed an occupational physical ability test (OPAT) that included the following: Illinois agility test (IAT); push-ups; pull-ups; leg tucks; maximal aerobic capacity (V̇o
2max); backward overhead 4.54-kg medicine ball throw (BOMBT); 10-repetition maximum deadlift; and 91.44-m farmer's carry. Data were recorded in raw and scaled scores based on internal scoring (tests scored from 0 to 100; maximum total OPAT score of 800). Trainees were split into graduated (n = 576) or released (n = 110) groups. Data were analyzed through ordinal logistic generalized linear models (p < 0.05). Raw and scaled scores were investigated separately, with odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) produced. Regarding raw scores, there was a difference in the odds of graduating relative to the IAT (OR = 1.357; CI = 1.047–1.760; p = 0.021), BOMBT (OR = 0.744; CI = 0.628–0.882; p < 0.001), and V̇o
2max (OR = 0.907; CI = 0.862–0.954; p < 0.001). For scaled scores, there was a difference in the odds of graduating relative to the points attained for the BOMBT (OR = 0.985; CI = 0.972–0.999; p = 0.032), deadlift (OR = 0.982; CI = 0.968–0.995; p = 0.008), and total OPAT (OR = 0.994; CI = 0.988–1.000; p = 0.047). Change-of-direction speed (IAT), total-body power (BOMBT), aerobic fitness (V̇o
2max), lower-body strength (deadlift), and overall fitness (total OPAT points) impacted the odds of trainee fire academy graduation. The IAT presented as the largest impacting variable where, for every unit increase in time (i.e., a slower IAT), there was 1.36 greater chance of a trainee being released from the academy.
Relative Humidity and Absolute Moisture Content Effects on the Compression Strength of Corrugated Boxes
Authors: Brown Gary A. , Batt Gregory S. , Darby Duncan , Daum Matthew 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Corrugated boxes are relatively inexpensive and used extensively to contain and protect consumer products as they move through the distribution system, providing a much-needed function in today’s economy. These boxes are constructed from paper, and therefore the mechanical properties of the boxes vary significantly with moisture content in the paper and available in the atmosphere. Relative humidity regularly varies between 30 to 90 % depending on location and time of year. Above a relative humidity of 30 %, paper fibers are affected, resulting in a decrease in the top-to-bottom compression strength of corrugated boxes. Therefore, understanding the moisture effect on box compression strength is essential for the containment, protection, and safe shipment of products. The goal of this study is to characterize the effect of relative humidity and, subsequently, the effects of moisture content on the compressive resistance of corrugated boxes. A total of 3,000 industry supplied boxes are used to evaluate moisture content and compressive strength at seven relative humidity conditions from 30 to 90 %. Three sets of conditions are repeated to test repeatability for a total of ten batches tested. The moisture content for 3 out of every 10 specimens is recorded using a loss-upon-drying moisture balance. Results indicate a second-order polynomial increase in moisture content as a function of relative humidity. The compression strength of corrugated boxes is found to vary linearly with moisture content for the range tested and follows a second-order polynomial decrease with increasing relative humidity. The data from this study are compiled into a table of corrugated box strength reduction factors for comparison with the results from previous studies.
Escritoras latinoamericanas: ficciones de (des) esperanzas del siglo XXI
Authors: Bianchi Paula Daniela 
Published: March 2024

Parte de la literatura latinoamericana del siglo XXI se centra en problemáticas cruciales del presente en las que la concepción de los modos de vida vivibles y posibles se tornan esenciales. Me centro en producciones literarias del presente que exploran estrategias para narrar subjetividades y sus haceres en relación con las territorialidades y ciudadanías baldías en un contexto atravesado por la globalización, por la transnacionalización y por la dilución de las fronteras geopolíticas, subjetivas, lingüísticas, corporales y sociales. La literatura latinoamericana del presente, producida por escritoras nacidas a partir de los años 70 abordada en este artículo, trama una red literaria y crítica que implica nuevos modos de leer y de enunciar, transformaciones estéticas innovadoras y categóricas diferentes que operan en la construcción de subjetividades, cuerpos y escenarios transfronterizos creando nuevas redes ficcionales latinoamericanas inscriptas en la (des)esperanza.
Vaccine Skeptics and Vaccine Enthusiasts: What Is the Intergroup Wall Made Of?
Authors: Izydorczak Kamil , Dolinski Dariusz 
Published: March 2024

Dehumanization in various forms often accompanies intergroup relations. While it is not clear whether it is a signifier of hostility or rather a source of it, there is a clear link - when dehumanization occurs between groups, we can expect effects ranging from a lack of mutual pro-sociality to an endorsement of violence against an out-group.
Our study tested whether mutual dehumanization and meta-dehumanization (the belief that we are being dehumanized by an out-group) occur between supporters and opponents of a COVID-19 vaccine. Using a diverse sample (n = 1262) of residents of Poland, the USA and RPA, we investigated whether attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines can form the basis of an in-group preference and to what extent such groups would dehumanize their opponents.
We found evidence for strong in-group preferences among both vaccine enthusiasts and vaccine skeptics. We also found evidence of mutual dehumanization and meta-dehumanization. This dehumanization was particularly pronounced in the case of more extreme forms (as assessed by direct dehumanization and blatant dehumanization measures) and marginally present in the case of subtle dehumanization (as assessed by dual model dehumanization). Vaccine enthusiasts dehumanized vaccine skeptics in all aspects measured, vaccine skeptics dehumanized vaccine enthusiasts in all aspects except one - they did not dehumanize them mechanistically. Overall, the dehumanization found was strong, universal across the countries studied, and largely unspecific.
Contrary to our predictions, we did not find many distinctive forms of dehumanization specific to a particular target group - the dehumanization observed was largely symmetrical.

A Food Craze in Europe
Authors: Scholliers Peter 
Published: March 2024

Food crazes and fads inform about consumers’ deeper concerns, desires or fears regarding health, status or identity. Primarily, food crazes provide insight in the way food innovation may occur. How about bread crazes in the past? Did some sorts of bread receive attention that made them popular during a particular period? If so, when, where, and why? I look at nineteenth-century newspapers to investigate discourses and practices about bread fads. I tackle my topic in a pragmatic way. First, there is the geographical limitation. Because bread has so many types and meanings throughout the world it is necessary to select a specific region, and Belgium will be studied. Second, this essay will focus on one such fad concerning bread during the Belle Epoque (1890 to 1914).
School Committee Communication Patterns in Actualize School Programs in Public High Schools
Authors: Untari Dwi , Retno Ningsih Tri Wahyu 
Published: March 2024

The school committee is one of the organizations that become partners in supporting school programs. The existence of a school committee is very important, especially in public schools. For state schools, the implementation of school programs requires a third party as a supporting system, especially in terms of funding. Even though state schools receive grants from the government, the implementation of school programs is not comparable when public schools are allowed to collect tuition fees from students' parents. Many school programs are not implemented. A school committee is needed that can support school programs. Therefore, the school committee needs to have good communication in its internal scope to support school programs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the school committee communication patterns in actualizing school programs in public high schools. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that the star communication pattern was the most widely used by the school committee in discussing school programs that would be supported by the school committee. The form of communication that is carried out is mostly using WhatsApp media to interact. Communication barriers in realizing school programs are limited funds, still lack care for parents, and parents' mindsets. It can be concluded that all communication patterns can be used by the school committee depending on the situation and conditions. This study recommends the same research on the communication patterns of school committees other than in public schools.

Estimation of population mean is a persistent subject issue in sampling surveys and many discrete efforts have been paid by various researchers to enhance the precision of the estimates by utilizing the correlated auxiliary information. In connection with this an improved version of ratio estimator are presented in this paper under the ranked set sampling scheme and stratified ranked set sampling scheme. Comparison amongst estimators is made in terms of Mean Square Errors ( ) and Percentage Relative Efficiencies ( ). The expression for of the proposed estimator is pinned-down to first order of approximations. It turns out from both simulation studies as well as real data set that the proposed estimator dominates its existing counterpart estimators.
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure Risks in US Carceral Facilities, 2022
Authors: Poirier Lindsay , Salvatore Derrick , Brown Phil , Cordner Alissa , Mok Kira , Shapiro Nicholas 
Published: March 2024

Objectives. To assess the US incarcerated population’s risk of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Methods. We assessed how many of the 6118 US carceral facilities were located in the same hydrologic unit code watershed boundaries as known or likely locations of PFAS contamination. We conducted geospatial analyses on data aggregated from Environmental Protection Agency databases and a PFAS site tracker in 2022 to model the hydrologically feasible known and presumptive PFAS contamination sites for nearly 2 million incarcerated people. Results. Findings indicate that 5% (∼310) of US carceral facilities have at least 1 known source of PFAS contamination in the same watershed boundary and that it is at a higher elevation than the facility; also 47% (∼2285) have at least 1 presumptive source. A minimum of 990 000 people are incarcerated in these facilities, including at least 12 800 juveniles. Exposure risks faced by incarcerated youths are disproportionately underassessed. Conclusions. The long-term impacts from potential exposures to PFAS are preventable and exacerbate health inequities among incarcerated populations. Widespread public attention to PFASs can be parlayed into broader environmental monitoring for imprisoned people. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(5):501–510. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307571 )
