Authors: Tafesse Wondwesen , Wien Anders 
Published: March 2024

PurposeChatGPT is a versatile technology with practical use cases spanning many professional disciplines including marketing. Being a recent innovation, however, there is a lack of academic insight into its tangible applications in the marketing realm. To address this gap, the current study explores ChatGPT’s application in marketing by mining social media data. Additionally, the study employs the stages-of- growth model to assess the current state of ChatGPT’s adoption in marketing organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe study collected tweets related to ChatGPT and marketing using a web-scraping technique (N = 23,757). A topic model was trained on the tweet corpus using latent Dirichlet allocation to delineate ChatGPT’s major areas of applications in marketing.FindingsThe topic model produced seven latent topics that encapsulated ChatGPT’s major areas of applications in marketing including content marketing, digital marketing, search engine optimization, customer strategy, B2B marketing and prompt engineering. Further analyses reveal the popularity of and interest in these topics among marketing practitioners.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the literature by offering empirical evidence of ChatGPT’s applications in marketing. They demonstrate the core use cases of ChatGPT in marketing. Further, the study applies the stages-of-growth model to situate ChatGPT’s current state of adoption in marketing organizations and anticipate its future trajectory.
Anthropogenic nest material use in a global sample of birds

Published: March 2024

AbstractAs humans increasingly modify the natural world, many animals have responded by changing their behaviour. Understanding and predicting the extent of these responses is a key step in conserving these species. For example, the tendency for some species of birds to incorporate anthropogenic items—particularly plastic material—into their nests is of increasing concern, as in some cases, this behaviour has harmful effects on adults, young and eggs. Studies of this phenomenon, however, have to date been largely limited in geographic and taxonomic scope. To investigate the global correlates of anthropogenic (including plastic) nest material use, we used Bayesian phylogenetic mixed models and a data set of recorded nest materials in 6147 species of birds. We find that, after controlling for research effort and proximity to human landscape modifications, anthropogenic nest material use is correlated with synanthropic (artificial) nesting locations, breeding environment and the number of different nest materials the species has been recorded to use. We also demonstrate that body mass, range size, conservation status and brain size do not explain variation in the recorded use of anthropogenic nest materials. These results indicate that anthropogenic materials are more likely to be included in nests when they are more readily available, as well as potentially by species that are more flexible in their nest material choice.
A Poetic Community: Colonel David Humphreys' Model Industrial Village
Authors: Mullin John R. , Kotval Zenia 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis is the story of David Humphreys' efforts to plan and develop America's first sustained and successful woollen textile mill and village in the United States beginning in 1806. Informed by the debates over the future economic direction of the new nation, his efforts represented a coalescence of the pro‐agricultural thoughts and ideas commonly espoused by the Democratic‐Republican Party and the pro‐manufacturing positions of Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists. The Humphreysville experiment showed that America could competitively manufacture high‐quality woollen goods; factory‐based manufacturing could be undertaken in a healthy, safe, and moral community; and agricultural and industrial interests could be combined for the public welfare. Moreover, Humphreysville was intended to be a model village where economic, social, and cultural aspects of the community were just as important as the economic production of cloth. Many of the elements of the social planning found in Humphreysville were later applied in the Slater‐Rhode Island and Waltham‐Lowell systems of textile mills and settlements throughout the nineteenth century.
The market value of cash holdings from related‐party sales: The role of source of cash flows
Authors: Jung Sun‐Moon , Jung Taejin , Kim Natalie Kyung Won , Park Sohee 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper finds that investors evaluate cash holdings differently based on the source of cash flows. Using cash flows from related‐party sales as a proxy for diverse sources, we find that shareholders discount the value of cash holdings for firms with higher cash flows from related‐party sales. We find that firms use related‐party sales cash flows differently; cash flows from related‐party sales are more likely to be retained as internal cash reserves or distributed as dividends, rather than utilised for necessary investments. We further document a negative valuation of investments for firms with more related‐party sales.
Alcohol drinking, DNA methylation and psychiatric disorders: A multi‐omics Mendelian randomization study to investigate causal pathways
Authors: Shi Xiaoqiang , Li Meng , Yao Jianhua , Li Ming D. , Yang Zhongli 
Published: March 2024

AbstractBackground and aimsWhether alcohol‐related DNA methylation has a causal effect on psychiatric disorders has not been investigated. Furthermore, a comprehensive investigation into the causal relationship and underlying mechanisms linking alcohol consumption and psychiatric disorders has been lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the causal effect of general alcohol intake and pathological drinking behaviors on psychiatric disorders, alcohol‐associated DNA methylation on gene expression and psychiatric disorders, and gene expression on psychiatric disorders.DesignTwo‐sample design Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Various sensitivity and validation analyses, including colocalization analysis, were conducted to test the robustness of the results.SettingGenome‐wide association study (GWAS) data mainly from GWAS and Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use (GSCAN), Genetics of DNA Methylation Consortium (GoDMC) and Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) with European ancestry.ParticipantsThe GWAS summary data on general alcohol intake (drinks per week, n = 941 280), pathological drinking behaviors (including alcohol use disorder [AUD, n = 313 959] and problematic alcohol use [PAU, n = 435 563]) and psychiatric disorders (including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, n = 51 710–500 199) were included. Alcohol‐related DNA methylation CpG sites (n = 9643) and mQTL data from blood (n = 27 750) and brain (n = 1160), BrainMeta v2 and GTEx V8 eQTL summary data (n = 73–2865) were also included.MeasurementsGenetic variants were selected as instrumental variables for exposures, including drinks per week, AUD, PAU, alcohol‐related DNA methylation CpG sites (mQTL) and genes selected (eQTL).FindingsPathological drinking behaviors were associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders after removing outliers or controlling for alcohol consumption. MR analysis identified 10 alcohol‐related CpG sites with colocalization evidence that were causally associated with psychiatric disorders (P = 1.65 × 10−4–7.52 × 10−22). Furthermore, the expression of genes (RERE, PTK6, GATAD2B, COG8, PDF and GAS5) mapped to these CpG sites in the brain, led by the cortex, were significantly associated with psychiatric disorders (P = 1.19 × 10−2–3.51 × 10−7).ConclusionsPathological drinking behavior and alcohol‐related DNA methylation appear to have a causal effect on psychiatric disorders. The expression of genes regulated by the alcohol‐related DNA methylation sites may underpin this association.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundNon‐diabetics and diabetics might have different oral health problems and impacts on their oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL). Comparison of oral health status and coping strategies between these patients, and evaluation of factors associated with OHRQoL might facilitate better treatment planning for improved patient‐centred outcome.MethodsOne hundred and eleven non‐diabetics and 107 diabetics attending a public hospital were clinically examined and evaluated for coping strategies (abbreviated coping orientation to problems experienced) and OHRQoL [short‐form oral health impact profile (OHIP‐14S)]. Factors associated with OHRQoL were analysed through correlation/partial correlation. Minimally important differences (MID) of OHIP‐14S were calculated to confirm associations between attachment loss, caries, and tooth loss with OHRQoL.ResultsNon‐diabetics had worse periodontal status. Diabetics had more missing teeth. Non‐diabetics and diabetics employed maladaptive coping to manage oral health problems. Overall, non‐diabetics reported worse OHRQoL. Determination of MID showed that non‐diabetics with high‐severe attachment loss and <20 teeth experienced poorer OHRQoL. Diabetics with caries, high‐severe attachment loss, and <25 teeth experienced poorer OHRQoL.ConclusionDifferent factors were associated with OHRQoL of non‐diabetics and diabetics. Delivery of treatment aimed at maintaining teeth in a periodontally healthy and caries free state, and provision of more chewing units might help improve OHRQoL of diabetics. © 2024 Australian Dental Association.
Machine learning to predict grains futures prices
Authors: Brignoli Paolo Libenzio , Varacca Alessandro , Gardebroek Cornelis , Sckokai Paolo 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAccurate commodity price forecasts are crucial for stakeholders in agricultural supply chains. They support informed marketing decisions, risk management, and investment strategies. Machine learning methods have significant potential to provide accurate forecasts by maximizing out‐of‐sample accuracy. However, their inherent complexity makes it challenging to understand the appropriate data pre‐processing steps to ensure proper functionality. This study compares the forecasting performance of Long Short‐Term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks (LSTM‐RNNs) with classical econometric time series models for corn futures prices. The study considers various combinations of data pre‐processing techniques, variable clusters, and forecast horizons. Our results indicate that LSTM‐RNNs consistently outperform classical methods, particularly for longer forecast horizons. In particular, our findings demonstrate that LSTM‐RNNs are capable of automatically handling structural breaks, resulting in more accurate forecasts when trained on datasets that include such shocks. However, in our setting, LSTM‐RNNs struggle to deal with seasonality and trend components, necessitating specific data pre‐processing procedures for their removal.
Transforming environmental leadership into environmental performance: The mediating role of green intellectual capital
Authors: Xi Mengjie , Fang Wei , Feng Taiwen , Liu Yang 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAccording to upper echelon theory, this research seeks to explore how environmental leadership (EL) influences environmental performance through green intellectual capital (GIC), while also considering environmental climate as a moderator. We analyze the data from 317 Chinese manufacturing companies in two waves to test these hypotheses. The findings suggest that EL positively affects environmental performance via green structural capital and green relational capital (GRC). Moreover, environmental climate strengthens the impacts of EL on green human capital and GRC. This research enriches the existing literature on EL and GIC by revealing the vital roles of EL in promoting environmental performance and GIC, as well as explaining the mechanism between these relationships.
Mitragynine (Kratom)—Withdrawal behaviour and cognitive impairments can be ameliorated by an epigenetic mechanism
Authors: Yunusa Suleiman , Müller Christian P. , Hassan Zurina 
Published: March 2024

Background and PurposeKratom is a preparation from Mitragyna speciosa, which is used as a natural drug preparation for many purposes around the world. However, an overdose of Kratom may cause addiction‐like problems including aversive withdrawal states resulting in cognitive impairments via unknown mechanisms. Its main psychoactive alkaloid is mitragynine, showing opioid‐like properties.Experimental ApproachHere, we analysed the neuropharmacological effects of mitragynine compared with morphine withdrawal in rats and searched for a pharmacological treatment option that may reverse the occurring cognitive deficits that usually aggravate withdrawal.Key ResultsWe found that withdrawal from 14‐day mitragynine (1–10 mg·kg−1·day−1) treatment caused dose‐dependent behavioural withdrawal signs resembling those of morphine (5 mg·kg−1·day−1) withdrawal. However, mitragynine (5 and 10 mg·kg−1·day−1) withdrawal also induced impairments in a passive avoidance task. Mitragynine withdrawal not only reduced hippocampal field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) amplitudes in basal synaptic transmission and long‐term potentiation (LTP) but also reduced epigenetic markers, such as histone H3K9 and H4K12 expression. At the same time, it up‐regulates HDAC2 expression. Targeting the epigenetic adaptations with the HDAC inhibitor, SAHA, reversed the effects of mitragynine withdrawal on epigenetic dysregulation, hippocampal input/output curves, paired‐pulse facilitation, LTP and attenuated the cognitive deficit. However, SAHA amplified the effects of morphine withdrawal.Conclusion and ImplicationsThe data from this work show that changes in histone expression and downstream hippocampal plasticity may explain mitragynine, but not morphine, withdrawal behaviours and cognitive impairments. Thus, it may provide a new treatment approach for aversive Kratom/mitragynine withdrawal and addiction.
Breaking the Silence: An Epidemiological Report on Asian American and Pacific Islander Youth Mental Health and Suicide (1999–2021)
Authors: Reyes Miles P. , Song Ivy , Bhatt Apurva 
Published: March 2024

BackgroundLimited studies have focused on recent trends in Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth suicide. This study aimed to evaluate epidemiological trends in AAPI youth suicide and reports of depressive symptoms among Asian and Pacific Islander youth in the USA.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study analyzed mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control Wide‐Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) and reports of depressive symptoms from the Youth Risk Behaviour Surveillance System (YRBSS). Data from 1999 to 2021 were analyzed for suicide rates and methods used among AAPI youth aged 5–24 years. YRBSS data from 1991 to 2021 were analyzed for depressive symptoms reported by Asian American (AA) 9th–12th graders.ResultsFrom 1999 to 2021, 4747 AAPI youth died by suicide in the USA. Rates of suicide doubled from 3.6 to 7.1 per 100,000 during 1999–2021, with an increasing trend observed from 2014 onwards. The most common methods of suicide deaths in this population were suffocation, firearms and poisoning. Rates of suicide were higher among AA males than females, although more AA females reported depressive symptoms, including suicidal planning and attempts.ConclusionThis study shows a concerning increase in suicide rates among AAPI youth over 1999–2021. Suffocation, firearms and poisoning were the most common methods used. While more AAPI males died by suicide, AA females reported higher rates of depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted prevention strategies and clinical interventions for this vulnerable population. The study also emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health stigma to improve reporting and support for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) youth.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAimThe class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) implicate in microglial heterogenization and neuroinflammation following Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Ferroptosis has also been reported in the ICH model. However, the relationship between HDAC1/2's role in microglial heterogenization and neuronal ferroptosis remains unclear.MethodsIn both in vivo and in vitro models of ICH, we used Romidepsin (FK228), a selective HDAC1/2 inhibitor, to investigate its effects on microglial heterogenization and neuronal ferroptosis. In the in vitro ICH model using Hemin, a transwell system was utilized to examine how microglia‐driven inflammation and ICH‐triggered neuronal ferroptosis interact. Immunostaining, Western blotting and RT‐qPCR were used to evaluate the microglial heterogenization and neuronal ferroptosis. Microglial heterogenization, neuronal ferroptosis, and neurological dysfunctions were assessed in vivo ICH mice model performed by autologous blood injection.ResultsHDAC1/2 inhibition altered microglial heterogenization after ICH, as showing the reducing neuroinflammation and shifting microglia towards an anti‐inflammatory phenotype by immunostaining and qPCR results. HDAC1/2 inhibition reduced ferroptosis, characterized by high ROS and low GPx4 expression in HT22 cells, and reduced iron and lipid deposition post‐ICH in vivo. Additionally, the Nrf2/HO1 signaling pathway, especially acetyl‐Nrf2, activated in the in vivo ICH model due to HDAC1/2 inhibition, plays a role in regulating microglial heterogenization. Furthermore, HDAC1/2 inhibition improved sensorimotor and histological outcomes post‐ICH, offering a potential mechanism against ICH.ConclusionInhibition of HDAC1/2 reduces neuro‐ferroptosis by modifying the heterogeneity of microglia via the Nrf2/HO1 pathway, with a particular focus on acetyl‐Nrf2. Additionally, this inhibition aids in the faster removal of hematomas and lessens prolonged neurological impairments, indicating novel approach for treating ICH.
Executives' Legal Expertise and Corporate Innovation
Authors: Dai Yunhao , Tong Xinchu , Jia Xiao 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACTResearch QuestionThis study investigates whether and how executives with legal expertise impact corporate innovation.Research FindingsUsing a sample of listed firms in China, we have the following findings: (1) Firms that hire executives with legal expertise are associated with more corporate innovation. (2) These firms talk about potential legal risks and legal advisors more often in their annual reports and have lower chances of being sued in patent litigations. (3) The innovation‐promoting effect is stronger when the firms are state‐owned enterprises, have more overseas revenue, operate in high‐tech industries, have prior patent litigation experience, and are in strong legal environments.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsThe findings indicate that executives with legal expertise bring more attention to legal risks and help the firm to shape a stable environment, which can effectively promote innovation activities. Also, the innovation‐promoting effect of lawyer executives complements the role of in‐house legal counsels and the external legal environment. This paper adds to the literature on the value of executives with legal background.Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsOur results emphasize the important role played by executives with legal expertise in corporate innovation. Given the continuing shortage of legal talents and the gradual improvement of the legal system in China, firms need to employ more legal talents to avoid potential legal risks and maintain sustainable growth.

AbstractAnorectal malformation (ARM), a common congenital anomaly of the digestive tract, is a result of insufficient elongation of the urorectal septum. The cytoplasmic protein Receptor of Activated C‐Kinase 1 (Rack1) is involved in embryonic neural development; however, its role in embryonic digestive tract development and ARM formation is unexplored. Our study explored the hindgut development and cell death mechanisms in ARM‐affected rats using spatial transcriptome analysis. We induced ARM in rats by administering ethylenethiourea via gavage on gestational day (GD) 10. On GDs 14–16, embryos from both normal and ARM groups underwent spatial transcriptome sequencing, which identified key genes and signalling pathways. Rack1 exhibited significant interactions among differentially expressed genes on GDs 15 and 16. Reduced Rack1 expression in the ARM‐affected hindgut, verified by Rack1 silencing in intestinal epithelial cells, led to increased P38 phosphorylation and activation of the MAPK signalling pathway. The suppression of this pathway downregulated Nqo1 and Gpx4 expression, resulting in elevated intracellular levels of ferrous ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides. Downregulation of Gpx4 expression in the ARM hindgut, coupled with Rack1 co‐localisation and consistent mitochondrial morphology, indicated ferroptosis. In summary, Rack1, acting as a hub gene, modulates ferrous ions, lipid peroxides, and ROS via the P38‐MAPK/Nqo1/Gpx4 axis. This modulation induces ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells, potentially influencing hindgut development during ARM onset.
