Asset redeployability, sustainability, and managerial prudence: evidence from economic policy uncertainty
Authors: Chatjuthamard Pattanaporn , Papangkorn Suwongrat , Jiraporn Pornsit , Phiromswad Piyachart 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on asset redeployability. Capitalizing on a novel measure of asset redeployability, the authors explore the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on redeployable assets using a unique text-based measure of EPU. Asset redeployability is an important aspect of sustainability that has been largely overlooked. More redeployable assets can be repurposed for a variety of uses, lessening the necessity for new products and thus conserving natural resources.

Design/methodology/approach
In addition to the standard regression analysis, the authors execute a variety of robustness checks, i.e. propensity score matching, entropy balancing, instrumental-variable analysis, GMM dynamic panel data analysis and use Oster’s (2019) approach for testing coefficient stability. Importantly, the authors incorporate firm fixed effects in the analysis, which helps mitigate endogeneity due to unobservable firm characteristics.

Findings
Based on an immense sample of over 200,000 observations over three decades, the results reveal that greater uncertainty raises asset redeployability significantly. The findings corroborate the managerial prudence hypothesis. The future deployment of assets is less predictable in times of increased uncertainty. Consequently, during uncertain times, it is more prudent to have assets that can be redeployed for multiple purposes.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to explore the impact of EPU on asset redeployability, which is a critical aspect of sustainability that has rarely been investigated in the literature. The authors fill this important void in the literature. The authors extend the literature in EPU, asset redeployability as well as sustainability.
Health and health care in Australian immigration detention: a comparison between onshore and offshore data
Authors: Kalocsányiová Erika , Essex Ryan 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
This study aims to compare the impact of Australian onshore and offshore immigration detention centres (IDCs) on detainees’ health and health-care events.

Design/methodology/approach
It uses data extracted from the Australian Government’s quarterly health reports from 2014 to 2017. These reports contain a range of data about the health and well-being of detainees, including complaints/presenting symptoms and number of appointments and hospitalisations. To compare onshore and offshore data sets, the authors calculated the rate of health events per quarter against the estimated quarterly onshore and offshore detention population. They ran a series of two-proportion z-tests for each matched quarter to calculate median z- and p-values for all quarters. These were used as an indicator as to whether the observed differences between onshore and offshore events were statistically significant.

Findings
The results suggest that adults detained onshore and offshore have substantial health needs, however, almost all rates were far higher in offshore detention, with people more likely to raise a health-related complaint, access health services and be prescribed medications, often at two to three times the rate of those onshore.

Originality/value
This paper adds to a modest body of literature that explains the health of people detained in Australian IDCs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to explore health service utilisation and a range of other variables found in the Australian Government’s quarterly health reports. These findings bolster the evidence which suggests that detention, and particularly offshore detention is particularly harmful to health.
Overcoming the “tenant-owner dilemma” to foster energy efficiency in residential private rented housing
Authors: Garcia-Teruel Rosa M. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The Recast Energy Efficiency Directive 2023 has defined the concept of “split incentive,” also known as “tenant-owner dilemma.” This dilemma refers to the situation where neither landlords nor tenants have incentives to invest in energy efficiency upgrades. Although the Energy Efficiency Directive calls Member States to overcome legal barriers to remove split incentives and to encourage retrofits, the list of possible measures is too vague. This paper aims to discuss tenancy law measures designed to increase the energy efficiency of residential housing and to detect which Member States have already addressed this phenomenon.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper analyses, from a civil legal perspective, the possible private law barriers arising from the tenant-owner dilemma when performing energy efficiency works in selected countries and proposes legal reforms in tenancy law and related policies to overcome them. To do so, this paper follows a legal-dogmatic and comparative law methodology.

Findings
This paper concludes that some tenancy law provisions, such as the possibility to increase the rent after energy efficiency renovations and long-term leases, may challenge the tenant-owner dilemma in private rented markets, thus promoting renovations and retrofitting for energy efficiency purposes. It also proposes other policies intended to increase parties’ willingness to undertake works.

Research limitations/implications
More research on the economic and legal efficiency to regulate some of the civil law measures to challenge the tenant-owner dilemma should be necessary.

Practical implications
The civil law measures included in this paper may help national policymakers meet the energy efficiency targets, according to what is established in the Recast Energy Efficiency Directive 2023.

Originality/value
Based on the economic theory of the tenant-owner dilemma, this paper investigates the elements of tenancy law that may contribute to less energy-efficient homes, proposing policies for those countries interested in addressing the energy-efficiency challenge from a private law point of view.
Fitness benefits of alternated chick provisioning in cooperatively breeding carrion crows

Published: December 2023

Abstract

In most bird species, parents raise offspring cooperatively. In some cases, this cooperation extends to helpers‐at‐the‐nest who assist the breeders with a range of tasks.

While cooperative food provisioning might merely arise incidentally, as a result of the efforts of carers that act independently from each other, recent studies suggest that birds may coordinate by taking turns in visiting the nest. However, evidence that such coordination emerges because individuals actively respond to each other's behaviour is controversial, and the potential benefits of carers' alternation remain unknown.

We addressed this knowledge gap by analysing a multiyear dataset for cooperatively breeding carrion crows Corvus corone, comprising 8693 nest visits across 50 groups.

Our results reveal that turn‐taking does occur in this species and that all group members, regardless of their sex and social role (breeder/helper), tend to alternate at the nest with other carers rather than to make repeat visits.

Importantly, we found that the body mass of nestlings increased significantly with the degree of carers' alternation, possibly because well‐coordinated groups provided food at more regular intervals.

Using earlier monitoring data, the observed increase in body mass is predicted to substantially boost postfledging survival rates. Our analyses demonstrate that alternation in nestling provisioning has measurable fitness benefits in this study system.

This raises the possibility that cooperatively breeding carrion crows, as well as other bird species with similarly coordinated brood provisioning, exhibit specialized behavioural strategies that enable effective alternation.
Genome‐Scale Model of Rhizopus microsporus: Metabolic integration of a fungal holobiont with its bacterial and viral endosymbionts

Published: December 2023

AbstractRhizopus microsporus often lives in association with bacterial and viral symbionts that alter its biology. This fungal model represents an example of the complex interactions established among diverse organisms in functional holobionts. We constructed a Genome‐Scale Model (GSM) of the fungal‐bacterial‐viral holobiont (iHol). We employed a constraint‐based method to calculate the metabolic fluxes to decipher the metabolic interactions of the symbionts with their host. Our computational analyses of iHol simulate the holobiont's growth and the production of the toxin rhizoxin. Analyses of the calculated fluxes between R. microsporus in symbiotic (iHol) versus asymbiotic conditions suggest that changes in the lipid and nucleotide metabolism of the host are necessary for the functionality of the holobiont. Glycerol plays a pivotal role in the fungal‐bacterial metabolic interaction, as its production does not compromise fungal growth, and Mycetohabitans bacteria can efficiently consume it. Narnavirus RmNV‐20S and RmNV‐23S affected the nucleotide metabolism without impacting the fungal‐bacterial symbiosis. Our analyses highlighted the metabolic stability of Mycetohabitans throughout its co‐evolution with the fungal host. We also predicted changes in reactions of the bacterial metabolism required for the active production of rhizoxin. This iHol is the first GSM of a fungal holobiont.

Published: December 2023

AbstractVacuum steam pulsed blanching (VSPB) was employed as a novel blanching technology on Cornus officinalis to soften the tissue for subsequent coring and dehydration. The current work aims to explore its effect on mass transfer behavior, PPO inactivation, drying characteristics, physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, and microstructure of C. officinalis. Results showed that VSPB increased water loss, decreased solid gain, and increased weight reduction with increased blanching cycles. Besides, VSPB significantly changed physical properties and extensively reduced drying time which was attributed to the cell wall components dissolving and cell turgor pressure decreasing, also verified by observing microstructure alteration. PPO was completely denatured after blanching in 6 cycles, but phenolic compounds were still diffused or degraded. Notably, the content of flavonoids and antioxidant capacity significantly increased compared to fresh samples probably due to increased extractability caused by the disrupting cell structure. Besides, the carotenoids and ascorbic acid could be well preserved.
Cross‐protection against pepino mosaic virus, more than a decade of efficient disease control
Authors: Hernando Yolanda , Aranda Miguel A. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractCross‐protection was first described a century ago. In practical terms, cross‐protection consists of the pre‐inoculation of plants with mild or attenuated viral isolates that protect the plants from subsequent infections with aggressive isolates. Experimentally, cross‐protection has been shown to apply to numerous virus and viroid species infecting numerous plant hosts, but the number of cases in which it has been successfully used for the control of the damage caused by viruses in crops is rather limited. Significant examples include citrus tristeza virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus, and more recently, pepino mosaic virus (PepMV). PepMV is a pandemic virus affecting tomato crops worldwide. During the first decade of the current century, a number of mild PepMV isolates useful in cross‐protection were identified and characterized. Soon after, cross‐protection programs against PepMV were implemented in the Netherlands, Belgium, Morocco, and Spain. These programs were easily adopted by farmers, as no other efficient control methods were available and the losses caused by PepMV were unbearable for tomato producers. PepMV cross‐protection has been working exceedingly well during this time, although the potential interaction of the PepMV mild isolates with the recently emerging tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) may be threatening its viability. In this review, we describe our experience in deploying cross‐protection against PepMV in Spain. In our view, this is an underexploited technology that holds promise, but when it is used and how it is used requires careful thinking and preparation, as not all situations are as favourable for the use of cross‐protection as the PepMV pandemic has been.

Published: December 2023

AbstractObjectiveInformation on borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its comorbidities is often limited to concentrate on a few diagnoses. The aim of the study was to use national register data to investigate all diagnostic co‐occurring mental health disorders and somatic diseases 3 years before and after initial BPD diagnosis compared with a matched control group.MethodThe study was a register‐based cohort of 2756 patients with incident BPD (ICD F60.3) and 11,024 matched controls, during 2002–2016. Comorbidity data were classified into main disease groups, in accordance with the World Health Organization ICD‐10 criteria.ResultsAlmost half the patients had been diagnosed with mental and behavioral disorders before the BPD diagnosis as compared to 3% in the control group. Further, the co‐occurrence of diseases due to external causes of morbidity, including injury, self‐harm, and poisoning were more represented in the BPD group before diagnosis as compared to the control group. In addition, co‐occurring morbidity related to diseases in the circulatory, the respiratory, the digestive, the musculoskeletal, and the genitourinary system was more represented in the BPD group. After diagnosis, the proportion of patients with co‐occurring morbidity increased further in all main disease groups in the BPD group. As many as 87% of patients had mental and behavioral co‐occurring morbidity and 15% nervous diseases as compared with 3% and 4%, respectively, in the control group. Also, comorbidities related to external causes of morbidity, including for example, injury and self‐harm were more represented in the BPD group. The BPD group had more somatic co‐occurring morbidity, especially digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and endocrine diseases. Finally, the mortality over 12 years was statistically significantly higher in people with BPD than in the control group.ConclusionPatients with BPD have higher odds for multiple physical health conditions and co‐occurrence of mental health disorders.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundTreatment decision‐making for individuals with bipolar disorder can be difficult. Recommendations from clinical practice guidelines can be affected by multiple methodological limitations, while pharmaco‐epidemiological data suggest great variety in prescription practices across regions. Given these inconsistencies, this study aimed to provide an alternative perspective on the effectiveness of common bipolar disorder maintenance treatments through considering naturalistic data.MethodsA total of 246 individuals with bipolar disorder (84 bipolar I [BP‐I], 162 bipolar II [BP‐II]) were recruited through clinics and/or websites. All were euthymic and had trialled at least one mood stabiliser. They completed an online survey containing questions on demographics, clinical variables, symptomatology, and the effectiveness/side effect profiles of any mood stabilisers (MSTs) or atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) that they have taken.ResultsLithium and lamotrigine were the most commonly prescribed MSTs and the most effective at mood stabilisation. Lithium and lamotrigine appeared marginally more effective for BP‐I and BP‐II respectively, however, only the latter difference was statistically significant. Furthermore, lamotrigine had the more favourable side effect profile. Amongst the AAPs, quetiapine and olanzapine were the most commonly prescribed, but they were negligibly superior to other AAPs.ConclusionThis study clearly established a preference for lamotrigine in the maintenance treatment of BP‐II. While the literature consistently emphasises the primacy of lithium in bipolar disorder treatment, its side effect profile as observed in this study remains a concern. Future research considering moderators of treatment response and concomitant medications could help to identify further nuances to consider for treatment decision‐making.
Concrete Impacts: Blast Walls, Wartime Emissions, and the US Occupation of Iraq

Published: December 2023

AbstractMilitaries around the world are a major source of carbon emissions, yet very little is known about their carbon footprint. Reliable data around military resource use and environmental damage is highly variable. Researchers are dependent upon military transparency, the context of military operations, and broader emissions reporting. While studies are beginning to emerge on global militaries and their carbon footprints, less work has focused on wartime emissions. We examine one sliver of the hidden carbon emissions of late‐modern warfare by focusing on the use of concrete “blast walls” by US forces in Baghdad over a five‐year period (2003–2008). This study uses a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to study one of the world's largest military carbon footprints of concrete, an infrastructural weapon in late‐modern urban counterinsurgencies. Moving beyond dominant discourses on climate‐security and “greening”, we present one of the first studies to expose direct and indirect military emissions resulting from combat.

AbstractQuestionsWhat are the main vegetation types of forest and shrubland vegetation in central and eastern Euxine Turkey and SW Georgia? What are the main environmental factors affecting their diversity? What is their syntaxonomic position? Can we integrate them into the European vegetation classification system?LocationCentral and eastern Euxine Turkey and SW Georgia.MethodsWe collected 3104 vegetation plots of forest and shrubland vegetation in the study region and performed Two‐Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN) classification. We described vegetation types based on the classification results, expert knowledge and information from literature sources. We defined diagnostic species and prepared distribution maps for each vegetation type. To determine the most significant environmental variables on floristic differentiation, we used canonical correspondence analysis. Detrended correspondence analysis with passive projection of most significant environmental variables was run to interpret the environmental variation of vegetation types.ResultsThe studied vegetation was divided into 29 vegetation types related to seven main vegetation groups: relict Mediterranean forests and shrubland (mainly along the coastline, beside some inland localities), lowland to submontane forests, central Euxine mountain forests, eastern Euxine (Colchic) mountain forests, subeuxine forests, azonal riparian forests and subalpine and alpine shrubland. Elevation is the most important factor causing the differentiation in vegetation. It is followed by longitude and latitude. Among climatic variables, temperature seasonality, annual precipitation and precipitation of the wettest quarter are the most significant factors for vegetation differentiation. These factors correlate with the reduction of maritime climate and geomorphological features.ConclusionsVegetation types mostly correspond to the syntaxa accepted in the EuroVegChecklist. However, some of them do not appear in the EuroVegChecklist since they appear only beyond Europe. We described three syntaxa as new: Abietion equi‐trojani, Querco cerridis‐Carpinion orientalis and Piceo orientalis‐Fagenion orientalis. The study revealed high vegetation diversity of the region that should be taken into consideration in ecosystem management and used as a reference in restoration and mitigation of the effects of global changes.

Published: December 2023

AimsWe explored trends in gabapentinoid prescribing, drug seizures and postmortem toxicology using a national pharmacy claims database, law enforcement drug seizures data and a population‐based postmortem toxicology database.MethodsGabapentinoid prescribing rates per 100 000 eligible population (2010–2020), annual number of drug seizures involving gabapentinoids (2012–2020) and gabapentinoid detection (positive) rates per 100 postmortem toxicology case (2013–2020) were calculated. Negative binomial regression models were used to evaluate longitudinal trends for gabapentin and pregabalin separately.ResultsGabapentin (adjusted rate ratio [RR] 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05–1.06, P < .001) and pregabalin (adjusted RR 1.08, 95% CI 1.08–1.09, P < .001) prescribing increased annually, with higher rates of pregabalin (vs. gabapentin) observed every year. Drug seizures involving pregabalin also increased over time (RR 1.54 95% CI 1.25–1.90, P < .0001). Of the 26 317 postmortem toxicology cases, 0.92% tested positive for gabapentin, and 6.37% for pregabalin. Detection rates increased for both gabapentin (RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.11–1.48, P < .001) and pregabalin (RR 1.13, 95% CI 1.11–1.48, P < .001) between 2013 and 2020. A total of 1901 cases (7.2%) tested positive for heroin/methadone; this sub‐group had a higher detection rate for pregabalin (n = 528, 27.8%) and gabapentin (n = 41, 2.2%) over the study period, with a high burden of codetections for pregabalin with benzodiazepines (peaking at 37.3% in 2018), and pregabalin with prescription opioids (peaking at 28.9% in 2020).ConclusionThis study raises concerns regarding the wide availability of pregabalin in Ireland, including a growing illicit supply, and the potential for serious harm arising from poly drug use involving pregabalin among people who use heroin or methadone.
