AbstractThe first comprehensive phytosociological classification of all vegetation types in Europe (EuroVegChecklist; Applied Vegetation Science, 2016, 19, 3–264) contained brief descriptions of each type. However, these descriptions were not standardized and mentioned only the most distinct features of each vegetation type. The practical application of the vegetation classification system could be enhanced if users had the option to select sets of vegetation types based on various combinations of structural, ecological, and biogeographical attributes. Based on a literature review and expert knowledge, we created a new database that assigns standardized categorical attributes of 12 variables to each of the 1106 alliances dominated by vascular plants defined in EuroVegChecklist. These variables include dominant life form, phenological optimum, substrate moisture, substrate reaction, salinity, nutrient status, soil organic matter, vegetation region, elevational vegetation belt, azonality, successional status and naturalness. The new database has the potential to enhance the usefulness of phytosociological classification for researchers and practitioners and to help understand this classification to non‐specialists.
Firm's emission reduction effectiveness and the influence of the five institutional dimensions of the quintuple helix model: European evidence
Authors: Reverte Carmelo , Martínez‐Ferrero Jennifer , García‐Meca Emma 
Published: February 2024

AbstractBased upon the quintuple helix model (QHM), this study explores whether the differences in firms' emission reduction effectiveness can be attributed to the five institutional helices related to educational system, economic development, political–legal system, cultural orientation, and the natural capital. Using a set of listed European firms for the 2015–2020 period, we show that firms with better emission reduction effectiveness operate in nations with more public educational expenditure and scientific production, more extensive economic development, and better institutional and governance quality. Moreover, emission reduction strategies are more pronounced in firms located in countries characterized by less masculinity, individualism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance, and more long‐term orientation and indulgence. In addition, we find that companies with better emission reduction effectiveness are found in countries with more natural capital, characterized by a life in harmony with nature and employing the finite resources available in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner. Moreover, employing a two‐stage model to identify the most relevant helix, we find that the political–legal system helix is the most pivotal in promoting firms' commitment to reducing environmental emissions.
What makes tablet‐based learning effective? A study of the role of real‐time adaptive feedback
Authors: Colliot Tiphaine , Krichen Omar , Girard Nathalie , Anquetil Éric , Jamet Éric 
Published: February 2024

This study investigated the added value of real‐time adaptive feedback on seventh graders' performances in tablet‐based geometry learning. To isolate the effects of the medium (ie, tablet) from those of the feedback, three groups were compared: paper‐and‐pencil, pen‐based tablet without feedback and pen‐based tablet with feedback. The feedback was provided by a tutoring system based on an artificial intelligence that automatically interpreted students' pen strokes on the screen. A total of 85 French students drew three geometric shapes, either on paper or on a tablet, and then performed a transfer task on paper. Results showed that using a tablet without feedback did not improve learning but seemed to enhance interest in the task compared to the paper‐and‐pencil group. Students in the tablet with feedback group performed significantly better than the other two groups on learning, as well as on transfer. This study was the first to combine media comparison and added‐value approaches to test the effects on students' geometry performances of using a new educational app on a pen‐based tablet in a naturalistic classroom environment. Results showed that it was not the medium used but the intelligent tutoring system‐based feedback that improved students' performance. Our data therefore indicate that artificial intelligence is a promising way of providing learners with real‐time adaptive feedback in order to improve their performances.
Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic

Previous meta‐analyses have investigated the effects of tablet‐based learning.
Tablet computers have been proven to increase students' motivation.
Yet, the influence of tablet computers on learning outcomes remains inconclusive.
Other studies show that certain features of environments, such as feedback, have positive effects on learning.
What this paper adds

Most of the previous studies adopted a media comparison approach (paper‐ vs. tablet‐based instruction).
We combine this approach with an added‐value approach by adding or not real‐time AI‐based feedback.
Results showed that tablet use increased children's interest but not their learning outcomes.
Feedback improved children's performance in a training task and a later transfer paper task.
Implications for practice and/or policy

Tablet computers can promote students' interest in the task during geometry instruction.
App features play a critical role in improving students' learning.
Specifically, IA‐based adaptive feedback helps children to perform better on a geometry task.
Testing a novel extended educational technology acceptance model using student attitudes towards virtual classrooms
Authors: Kemp Andrew , Palmer Edward , Strelan Peter , Thompson Helen (Mery) 
Published: February 2024

AbstractMany technology acceptance models used in education were originally designed for general technologies and later adopted by education researchers. This study extends Davis' technology acceptance model to specifically evaluate educational technologies in higher education, focusing on virtual classrooms. Prior research informed the construction of the model, which contains perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, behavioural intent, access and convenience, system attributes and self‐efficacy. Education‐specific constructs include cognitive engagement, feedback, instructor practice and class interaction and communication. Additionally, a new construct called comfort and well‐being is introduced. A total of 427 valid responses on a 5‐point Likert scale were received from university students. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used to analyse the data. The model accounted for 78% of variance of behavioural intent, with comfort and well‐being demonstrating the strongest influence. Cognitive engagement, access and convenience influenced perceived usefulness, and system attributes and self‐efficacy influenced perceived ease of use. Feedback, instructor practice and class interaction and communication were not significant as educational constructs for this cohort. Based on this analysis, a final extended educational technology acceptance model (EETAM) is proposed for further use and testing.Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic

Most technology acceptance models used in education were made for general technologies, or do not include factors specific to learning and pedagogy.
Most students prefer face‐to‐face learning experiences and active class engagement.
Qualitative research shows that instructional attributes and student comfort and well‐being are known to be important for students.
What this paper adds

A novel extended educational technology acceptance model, informed by prior empirical research, is presented.
Confirmation of the importance of including student comfort and well‐being in technology acceptance models used in education.
The model revealed the heterogeneous nature of the student learning experience.
Implications for practice and research

Technology acceptance models used in educational settings should include factors specific for education and learning, and student comfort and well‐being.
We encourage use of the presented model in educational settings to further test the model.

AbstractPundits have speculated that the spread of conspiracies and misinformation (termed “misbeliefs”) is leading to a resurgence of right‐wing, reactionary movements. However, the current empirical picture regarding the relationship between misbeliefs and collective action is mixed. We help clarify these associations by using two waves of data collected during the COVID‐19 Pandemic (in Australia, N = 519, and the United States, N = 510) and democratic elections (in New Zealand N = 603, and the United States N = 609) to examine the effects of misbeliefs on support for reactionary movements (e.g., anti‐lockdown protests, Study 1; anti‐election protests, Study 2). Results reveal that within‐person changes in misbeliefs correlate positively with support for reactionary collective action both directly (Studies 1–2) and indirectly by shaping the legitimacy of the authority (Study 1b). The relationship between misbelief and legitimacy is, however, conditioned by the stance of the authority in question: the association is positive when authorities endorse misbeliefs (Study 1a) and negative when they do not (Study 1b). Thus, the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and action hinges upon the alignment of the content of the conspiracy and the goals of the collective action.
Reconstructing the Zama (Mexico) discovery source to sink palaeogeography, Part II: Sediment routing from the Late Miocene shelf‐margin to deepwater basin

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe Late Miocene source terrane tectonic history in the southern Gulf of Mexico Basin, as informed by detrital zircon geothermochronology data, supports a detailed regional palaeogeographic reconstruction from palaeoshoreline to the deepwater Zama minibasin of the Sureste salt basin. Seismic mapping points to a trio of pathways that converge upon two entry points into the Zama minibasin, illuminating how sediment gravity flows transit a complex seascape defined by shallow salt bodies. Consideration of empirical scaling relationships within and between segments of this sediment dispersal system allows for testable predictions of Upper Miocene submarine fan‐runout lengths over basin exploration areas. Distances from the reconstructed shelf‐margin to the Zama wells vary around 100 km, an increase of 20% over a straight‐line distance as flows likely navigated around extant salt stocks, walls and sheets. This 100‐km fan length is about 40% of the reconstructed minimum palaeo‐river length, within predicted ranges for smaller source‐to‐sink systems in tectonically active areas (25 to 50%). The estimated fan‐runout distance can be extended even further basinwards, considering the contemporaneous passage of the mobile Chortis block along the Tonala shear zone, expanding the Palaeo‐Rio Grijalva drainage network during the Tortonian. These Late Miocene deepwater systems linked to the Palaeo‐Rio Grijalva differ substantially from onshore Mexico‐sourced turbidity flows feeding into the axis of the north‐trending Veracruz Trough. Textural data from wells here suggests these systems were less effective at larger grain transport and sorting. Local (intrabasinal) variations are also evident within the Zama minibasin, as well data (image logs and cores) indicate that axially oriented sediment gravity flows involved fewer high‐density turbidities, depositing lower net‐to‐gross sandstones and thicker shales than those flowing transverse to the basin axis from a southeastern basin entry point. These interpretations will guide both local exploitation of these economic resources and could also support future exploration for analogous salt‐influenced deepwater reservoir systems in the Sureste basin and globally.
Exploration, exploitation, and development: Developmental shifts in decision‐making
Authors: Blanco Nathaniel J. , Sloutsky Vladimir M. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractDecision‐making requires balancing exploration with exploitation, yet children are highly exploratory, with exploration decreasing with development. Less is known about what drives these changes. We examined the development of decision‐making in 188 three‐ to eight‐year‐old children (M = 64 months; 98 girls) and 26 adults (M = 19 years; 13 women). Children were recruited from ethnically diverse suburban middle‐class neighborhoods of Columbus, Ohio, USA. Results indicate that mature reward‐based choices emerge relatively late in development, with children tending to over‐explore. Computational modeling suggests that this exploration is systematic rather than random, as children tend to avoid repeating choices made on the previous trial. This pattern of exploration (reminiscent of novelty preference) decreased with development, whereas the tendency to exploit increased.

Calculated Comparisons: Manufacturing Societal Causal Judgments by Implying Different Counterfactual Outcomes
Authors: Amemiya Jamie , Heyman Gail D. , Walker Caren M. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractHow do people come to opposite causal judgments about societal problems, such as whether a public health policy reduced COVID‐19 cases? The current research tests an understudied cognitive mechanism in which people may agree about what actually happened (e.g., that a public health policy was implemented and COVID‐19 cases declined), but can be made to disagree about the counterfactual, or what would have happened otherwise (e.g., whether COVID‐19 cases would have declined naturally without intervention) via comparison cases. Across two preregistered studies (total N = 480), participants reasoned about the implementation of a public policy that was followed by an immediate decline in novel virus cases. Study 1 shows that people's judgments about the causal impact of the policy could be pushed in opposite directions by emphasizing comparison cases that imply different counterfactual outcomes. Study 2 finds that people recognize they can use such information to influence others. Specifically, in service of persuading others to support or reject a public health policy, people systematically showed comparison cases implying the counterfactual outcome that aligned with their position. These findings were robust across samples of U.S. college students and politically and socioeconomically diverse U.S. adults. Together, these studies suggest that implied counterfactuals are a powerful tool that individuals can use to manufacture others’ causal judgments and warrant further investigation as a mechanism contributing to belief polarization.
The lines that divide: Board demographic faultlines and proactive environmental strategy
Authors: Arena Claudia , Garcia‐Torea Nicolas , Michelon Giovanna 
Published: February 2024

AbstractManuscript TypeThe manuscript is of an empirical nature.Research Question/IssueThe current ecological crisis requires boards of directors to tackle environmental concerns and manage dependencies with the external environment in highly dynamic conditions. Proactive environmental strategies (PESs) seek to establish alternative and innovative processes and products that create new market opportunities. By mobilizing the notion of board demographic faultlines, we investigate their link with PESs and the influence of the internal board dynamics and environmental factors on this relationship.Research Findings/InsightsThe multilevel regression analysis of a 7‐year sample of UK boards reveals that demographic faultlines hinder their information processing in adopting PESs. The results also show that the negative relationship between demographic faultlines and PESs is attenuated by the social similarity of the CEO and chair in the same subgroup and by the financial materiality of the natural environment.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsThis study draws on faultline theory to analyze how the structure of board diversity through the alignment of multiple directors' demographic attributes affects board dynamics by creating polarized boards that shape sustainability decisions. This study underscores the disruptive effect of having socially distanced subgroups within the board and the salience of board leaders' social similarity and environmental factors in attenuating their dysfunctional effects.Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsBoard diversity is considered key to improving board decision‐making. By situating our empirical investigation in a country with a corporate governance model that fosters diversity in a dual leadership board structure that has influenced other countries' governance models, this study provides insights for policymakers and market participants on the unintended effects of the global call for board diversity on firms' proactive environmental stance. Our results call for establishing procedures to incentivize board socialization and facilitate directors' information processing.

AbstractOrthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a highly coordinated biomechanical response to orthodontic forces with active remodelling of alveolar bone but minor root resorption. Such antiresorptive properties of root relate to cementocyte mineralization, the mechanisms of which remain largely unknown. This study used the microarray analysis to explore long non‐coding ribonucleic acids involved in stress‐induced cementocyte mineralization. Gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments, including Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red S staining, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR), Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses of mineralization‐associated factors, were conducted to verify long non‐coding ribonucleic acids taurine‐upregulated gene 1 (LncTUG1) regulation in stress‐induced cementocyte mineralization, via targeting the Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/SphK1 axis. The luciferase reporter assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, RNA pull‐down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and co‐localization assays were performed to elucidate the interactions between LncTUG1, PU.1, and TLR4. Our findings indicated that LncTUG1 overexpression attenuated stress‐induced cementocyte mineralization, while blocking the TLR4/SphK1 axis reversed the inhibitory effect of LncTUG1 on stress‐induced cementocyte mineralization. The in vivo findings also confirmed the involvement of TLR4/SphK1 signalling in cementocyte mineralization during OTM. Mechanistically, LncTUG1 bound with PU.1 subsequently enhanced TLR4 promotor activity and thus transcriptionally elevated the expression of TLR4. In conclusion, our data revealed a critical role of LncTUG1 in regulating stress‐induced cementocyte mineralization via PU.1/TLR4/SphK1 signalling, which might provide further insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies that could protect roots from resorption during OTM.
