Can government supervision alleviate the deviation of enterprises from the real economy to the financial sector: Evidence from China
Authors: Liang Shangkun , Xue Weizhi , Yang Dan 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn China, the deviation of enterprises from the real economy to the financial sector has raised concerns. Using a sample of listed companies held by central state‐owned enterprises from 2009 to 2018, we investigate the influence of government supervision on this deviation. We find that government supervision effectively reduces investments in financial assets by central state‐owned enterprises. The impact is more significant in enterprises with internal control deficiencies, especially in those related to finance. Further study finds that the effect of government supervision conducted for the first time, second time, and third time shows a decreasing trend.

AbstractObjectiveEpilepsy management employs self‐reported seizure diaries, despite evidence of seizure underreporting. Wearable and implantable seizure detection devices are now becoming more widely available. There are no clear guidelines about what levels of accuracy are sufficient. This study aimed to simulate clinical use cases and identify the necessary level of accuracy for each.MethodsUsing a realistic seizure simulator (CHOCOLATES), a ground truth was produced, which was then sampled to generate signals from simulated seizure detectors of various capabilities. Five use cases were evaluated: (1) randomized clinical trials (RCTs), (2) medication adjustment in clinic, (3) injury prevention, (4) sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) prevention, and (5) treatment of seizure clusters. We considered sensitivity (0%–100%), false alarm rate (FAR; 0–2/day), and device type (external wearable vs. implant) in each scenario.ResultsThe RCT case was efficient for a wide range of wearable parameters, though implantable devices were preferred. Lower accuracy wearables resulted in subtle changes in the distribution of patients enrolled in RCTs, and therefore higher sensitivity and lower FAR values were preferred. In the clinic case, a wide range of sensitivity, FAR, and device type yielded similar results. For injury prevention, SUDEP prevention, and seizure cluster treatment, each scenario required high sensitivity and yet was minimally influenced by FAR.SignificanceThe choice of use case is paramount in determining acceptable accuracy levels for a wearable seizure detection device. We offer simulation results for determining and verifying utility for specific use case and specific wearable parameters.

AbstractManagement of crustacean fisheries is often data‐limited, and techniques used in finfish fisheries are often inappropriate for crustaceans due to life‐history differences. Limitations in modeling capacity and data availability make it difficult to determine the status of crustacean stocks using model‐based biological reference points (BRPs), but BRPs are a key component of successful fisheries management. Using crustacean fishery case studies depicting model‐based and empirical management strategies, we synthesized the current state of crustacean fisheries management with respect to data availability and use of management controls. Input and output controls can be successful with supplemental BRPs, but whatever methods are used must explicitly consider species' unique life‐history characteristics. In data‐limited fisheries, output controls can effectively conserve a species under high levels of exploitation. Implementation of discrete BRPs can improve sustainability of both emerging and data‐rich crustacean fisheries, to make these quantitative metrics a valuable tool for crustacean management globally.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAimHuman pressure in the oceans is pervasive and affects marine life. Understanding species' differing responses to human pressure, and how human pressure compares to other environmental variables in shaping marine communities is needed to facilitate the sustainable management of the seas. Despite theory and empirical evidence that fishing pressure affects marine life‐history strategies, several recent large‐scale studies have not shown strong relationships between fishing pressure and community composition. We aim to reconcile theory with data and explain these variable findings, testing the hypothesis that the signal of the effect of fishing pressure on marine communities depends on the scale at which the community is defined.LocationNorth East Atlantic.Time Period2009 to 2021.Major Taxa StudiedMarine vertebrates (Teleostei, Elasmobranchii, Petromyzonti, Holocephali).MethodsWe collate extensive scientific marine biodiversity surveys, published life‐history traits and high‐resolution annual fishing pressure data. Using frequentist Generalized Linear Mixed Models, we assess whether community mean weighted life‐history traits correlate with fishing pressure, sea surface temperature and depth and whether the strength of these relationships are scale dependant.ResultsWe show fish community life‐history strategy correlates with fishing pressure, and the relative importance of fishing pressure compared to environmental variables increases with the scale at which a community is defined.Main ConclusionsWe suggest this scale dependence relates to the spatial extent over which covariates vary, and how fish movement moderates communities' experience of this variability. Our findings highlight the importance of explicit consideration of scale in ecological research, supporting the idea that studying systems at ecologically relevant scales is necessary to detect and appropriately interpret the effects of global change.

Published: February 2024

BackgroundThe Late‐Stage Elderly Questionnaire has been incorporated into health assessments for older adults in Japan, encompassing three self‐administered questions on subjective physical function: subjective gait speed decline, recent fall history, and exercise habits. Nevertheless, its efficacy in predicting new fracture occurrences remains uncertain.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study utilized Japan's DeSC database, a large commercially available claims database. Participants were older adults aged ≥75 years and provided complete responses to the Late‐Stage Elderly Questionnaire at health check‐ups. We performed two Cox regression analyses for new fractures based on the responses to the three questions (Model 1) and on age, sex, and responses to the three questions (Model 2). The predictive abilities of the 1‐year occurrence of new fractures were compared between the two models.ResultsOf 11 683 eligible older adults, 927 (7.93%) experienced new fractures. Model 1 revealed significant associations between new fractures and subjective gait speed decline (hazard ratio [HR], 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40–1.89), recent fall history (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.77–2.33), and absence of exercise habits (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.13–1.47). Model 2 demonstrated superior predictive ability (area under the curve, 0.677; 95% CI, 0.659–0.695) compared with Model 1 (area under the curve, 0.633; 95% CI, 0.614–0.652), with a net reclassification improvement of 0.383 (95% CI, 0.317–0.449).ConclusionThree subjective physical well‐being factors were significantly associated with new fracture development in older adults. These results suggest that the three‐question assessment may be a valuable screening tool for identifying new fractures. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 337–343.

AbstractBackgroundWith the growing challenge of an aging population, addressing the needs of elderly individuals who face living difficulties and lack family support becomes increasingly difficult. Volunteer services are crucial in this context, yet their effectiveness is hindered by unclear service scopes and uncertain volunteer inclinations.AimTo explore the role and specific preference of volunteers with nursing backgrounds in support of older adults living in the urban community.Design, Setting and ParticipantsA descriptive qualitative study was conducted between September and October 2022. Twenty‐three participants (hospital nurses [10], community nurses [4], nursing teachers [4] and nursing students [5]) were selected. Data analysis followed conventional content analysis.ResultsNine major themes were identified based on interview data. Four themes described the service scope of nursing volunteers: (1) environment domain, (2) physiological domain, (3) psychosocial domain and (4) health‐related behaviours domain. Another five themes highlighted the service inclination of these volunteers: (1) service frequency, (2) service duration per person/time, (3) service coverage, (4) service place and (5) service object.ConclusionThis study clarifies the service focus and scope of necessary support for volunteers, exploring the potential service capabilities of scarce volunteers to the greatest extent. Meanwhile, the results of this study also provide a foundation for stakeholders to fully exploit the synergy. The important findings of this study will help the government and relevant authorities better understand the service attributes of nursing volunteers, allowing them to develop detailed training plans and provide nursing volunteers with targeted support and assistance to meet the health expectations of urban community‐living older adults in need.Patient or Public ContributionDeveloping research questions, participation and conduct and provision and interpretation of evidence.

AbstractThe XV mafic‐ultramafic intrusion is located in the western part of the Posht‐e‐Badam Block (PBB) within the Central Iranian Micro‐Continent (CIMC). Petrographically, the intrusion is composed of gabbro and pyroxenite. Apatite U–Pb dating has established the crystallization age of this intrusion to be 363 ± 67 Ma. The XV intrusive rocks are tholeiitic to slightly calc‐alkaline in nature and are characterized by an enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to high field strength elements (HFSE) and Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE), respectively. The major oxide elements display continuous trends relative to SiO2. The 87Sr/86Sr(i) ratios range from 0.7045 to 0.7056, and the εNd(i) values range from 2.63 to 3.30. In addition, the 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb/204Pb ratios exhibit a narrow range, varying from 18.68 to 18.70, 15.67 to 15.71, and 38.84 to 38.99, respectively. The geochemical and isotopic characteristics suggest that the parental magma was derived from a Sub‐ Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM) that was modified by oceanic slab‐derived components. The locations of the XV intrusive rocks in εNd(i) versus TDM (Ga) and Nb/La versus discrimination diagrams further support this conclusion. Fractional crystallization is identified as the dominant process influencing the formation of distinct lithological units within the XV intrusive rocks. Our newly presented isotopic and geochronological data, when considered in the regional context, suggest that the XV intrusive rocks were formed in an extensional tectonic setting. In this scenario, upwelling from the asthenospheric mantle induced heating, leading to the melting of previously subduction‐modified SCLM. Comparative analysis with previously published ages indicates that extensional magmatism in the PBB continued into the Middle Paleozoic.
Hope for the environment: Influence of goal and temporal focus of emotions on behavior
Authors: Lagomarsino Maria , Lemarié Linda 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAlthough positive emotions generally influence pro‐environmental behaviors positively, this is not always the case. Across one correlational and two experimental studies, we address this issue by investigating the temporal dimension of pro‐environmental actions and how emotions can affect them. In the first study, we focused on the temporal dilemma behind pro‐environmental behaviors, confirming the importance of “thinking about the future of the planet” for the adoption of various pro‐environmental behaviors. In the second study, we examined the effect of eliciting positive emotions and the mediating role of the temporal focus induced by emotions. In this second study, we observed the superior effectiveness of eliciting future positive emotions (hope) compared with present positive emotions (amusement) in the adoption of pro‐environmental behaviors. Finally, in a third study, we distinguished between integral and incidental hope, showing that the effect on pro‐environmental behaviors is the strongest when hope is experienced about the future of the planet compared with when there is a general unspecific hope. Overall, our findings show the importance of investigating the unique effect of positive emotions, providing clear indications for practitioners about the beneficial effect of integral hope in the environmental context.
A powerful tip: Power's impact on tipping behavior

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe practice of tipping is omnipresent in the tourism and hospitality sector. Although, consumer's tipping behavior has been studied from myriad perspectives, it is surprising that extant research has not yet explored how consumers' in different power states can be nudged to tip more. With the help of five studies in the lab and field, the results demonstrate that a low‐power state is conducive for generating a higher tip if consumers' focus is on others due to enhanced empathy. Furthermore, as per the compensatory consumption model, powerless consumers desire power, so they are more likely to tip higher than powerful people when tipping is associated with status. Lastly, powerful consumers' propensity to tip higher is initiated when the expectations that others hold from them are made salient. Implementing these findings can maximize business' tipping revenue from both the powerful and the powerless consumers.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe structure and physiology of skin and hair in people of African ancestry are different from other ethnic categories and studies from other continents cannot necessarily be extrapolated to Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) due to the differences in genetics, lifestyle, climate, cultures, and hair and skin care practices. The aim of this report is to highlight the recent advances in local skin and hair research in SSA from a grant program.MethodsAfrican Hair and Skin Research Grants from an industrial sponsor were awarded between 2013 and 2022 on five main topics: acne, hair and scalp, keloid scars, atopic dermatitis, and air pollution. A literature search in Scopus identified publications on these topics in African or black skin in SSA and worldwide to provide insight into the impact of the program.ResultsThe number of publications from around the world on the skin and hair of people of African ancestry has increased significantly over the past 30 years on all five topics, especially as a result studies conducted in the United States. Fewer studies have been conducted in SSA but there has been an increasing number of publications over the past 10 years, especially from South Africa.ConclusionsScientific and clinical partnerships between the industry, academia, and public healthcare sectors have contributed to a steady increase in hair and skin publications from SSA, which may be useful for the development of tailored products and public educational campaigns to raise awareness of the risks of using inappropriate products.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundPlaque psoriasis is relatively straightforward to identify. When diagnostic concerns arise in atypical cases, a biopsy is needed. It is widely accepted that the Munro microabscess and the spongiform pustule of Kogoj are diagnostic pathological features. However, the diagnostic dilemma is likely to arise in cases without these specific pathological changes and typical clinical features. This study aimed to investigate clinical and pathological clues in distinguishing atypical plaque psoriasis from its mimics.MethodsWe evaluated the clinicopathological features of 20 cases of atypical plaque psoriasis and 40 cases of psoriasis mimics as controls including pityriasis rosea (n = 10), pityriasis lichenoides chronica (n = 8), and subacute dermatitis (n = 22).ResultsA retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with atypical plaque psoriasis and controls was performed. Pathologically, there were significant differences between the two groups in the types of parakeratosis (P = 0.046), epidermal capture of extravasated erythrocytes (P = 0.011), focal basal liquefied degeneration (P = 0.017), types of inflammatory cells (P = 0.000), and depth of inflammation (P = 0.000). Clinically, we found the presence of scales and crusts was significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionThis study offers insight into the clinicopathological features of atypical plaque psoriasis. These differential diagnostic features, compared with its mimics, are proposed to assist the clinician in the diagnosis and treatment of atypical plaque psoriasis.
Effects of chitinous materials sequentially extracted from crawfish and blue crab on the physicochemical properties of emulsified pork sausages

Published: February 2024

SummaryThis study aimed to determine the functional properties of chitinous materials (CMs) extracted from crustacean shells as multifunctional non‐meat ingredients in emulsified sausage. The CMs were separated from blue crab and crawfish and classified into four types (dehydration, DeH; deproteinization, DeP; demineralization, DeM; deacetylation, DeA) based on the extraction step. Functional properties of different CM types according to the extraction step were assessed using both meat batter and emulsified sausage systems. Among the CMs, the functional characteristics of DeP and DeM exhibited higher binding and emulsion capacity and showed more redness than other CMs (P < 0.05). Compared to the non‐CM added control, the emulsified sausages including CMs showed higher emulsion stability (P < 0.05). The sausages manufactured with DeP or DeM showed higher redness and hardness and lower cooking loss than the control (P < 0.05). During refrigerated storage, emulsified sausages with DeH and DeP inhibited the lipid oxidation compared to those of control (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that DeP or DeM inclusion can improve binding ability and colour as well as lipid oxidation in emulsified sausage. Thus, it can be used as a novel non‐meat ingredient to improve functional and technological properties of processed meat.

AbstractThis review presents the latest insights on robot‐assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT). RAKAT is a minimally invasive surgical procedure and represents a promising alternative to conventional laparoscopic nephrectomy followed by open kidney transplantation for the treatment of various complex urological and vascular conditions. RAKAT can be performed either extracorporeally or intracorporeally. Additionally, a single‐port approach can be performed through one small incision without the need to reposition the patient. Of 86 patients undergoing RAKAT, 8 (9.3%) developed postoperative > Grade 2 Clavien‐Dindo (CD) complications. Although the feasibility of RAKAT was established in 2014, the long‐term efficacy and safety along with outcomes of this surgical approach are still being evaluated, and additional studies are needed. With improvements in the technology of RAKAT and as surgeons gain more experience, RAKAT should become increasingly used and further refined, thereby leading to improved surgical outcomes and improved patients' quality of life.
Inhibition of mevalonate pathway by macrophage‐specific delivery of atorvastatin prevents their pro‐inflammatory polarisation

AbstractAdjustment of the cellular metabolism of pro‐inflammatory macrophages is essential for their bactericidal function; however, it underlies the development of many human diseases if induced chronically. Therefore, intervention of macrophage metabolic polarisation has been recognised as a potent strategy for their treatment. Although many small‐molecule inhibitors affecting macrophage metabolism have been identified, their in vivo administration requires a tool for macrophage‐specific delivery to limit their potential side effects. Here, we establish Drosophila melanogaster as a simple experimental model for in vivo testing of macrophage‐specific delivery tools. We found that yeast‐derived glucan particles (GPs) are suitable for macrophage‐specific delivery of small‐molecule inhibitors. Systemic administration of GPs loaded with atorvastatin, the inhibitor of hydroxy‐methyl‐glutaryl‐CoA reductase (Hmgcr), leads to intervention of mevalonate pathway specifically in macrophages, without affecting HMGCR activity in other tissues. Using this tool, we demonstrate that mevalonate pathway is essential for macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarisation and individual's survival of infection.
