COVID‐19 Labor Market Shocks and Withdrawals From Retirement Accounts: Understanding the Moderating Role of Financial Knowledge
Authors: Lee Sunwoo , Kim Kyoung Tae , Hanna Sherman D. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWe explored the relationship between COVID‐19 labor market shocks and the likelihood of hardship withdrawals or plan loans from retirement accounts, which could significantly impact workers' retirement savings. We found that about 14% of working‐age respondents took a hardship withdrawal or plan loan. Those reporting a COVID‐19 labor market shock had odds of a hardship withdrawal as much as 3.8 times as high as otherwise comparable respondents who did not have a shock. Additionally, we found that the relationship to a COVID‐19‐related labor shock was moderated by the objective and subjective financial knowledge of individuals, suggesting a potential role for financial education in alleviating retirement risks. A notable finding is that respondents exhibiting financial knowledge overconfidence were more likely to take a plan loan or a hardship withdrawal than those with appropriate levels of confidence or low levels of confidence. This study offers important insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners.
Reducing Food Waste Behavior for Sustainable Consumption: The Effect of Food Consumption Values on Food Waste
Authors: Hwang Hyesun , Nam Su‐Jung , Lee Yu Lim 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWe examined the factors influencing food waste in Korean households. We analyzed data sourced from the Korea Rural Economic Institute using hierarchical regression to assess the impacts of individual‐ and household‐level factors, as well as food consumption values on food waste. Results showed that the main effects of age, metropolis, apartment, monthly food expenditure, frequency of food shopping, change in food expenditure, household size, ethical value, and convenience value were statistically significant. Food waste also increased with an increase in age, metropolis, frequency of food shopping, household size, and convenience value. As ethical values decreased, food waste increased. The influence of household size was relatively the largest, and the interactive effect of household size with functional value and convenience value as moderating variables was statistically significant.

ABSTRACTBiological control has emerged as a leading approach in managing crop diseases including Fusarium wilt of cashew caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. anacardi. However, this approach is limited by the high cost of commercially available growth media and ultimately lacks applications at the farmer's level. The study examined three organic‐based substrate formulations (rice bran, rice husk and their combination) of four combined Bacillus strains (Bacillus subtilis 4/5021 and Bacillus velenzesis 10/5140, 11/A + 1 and 13/A + 3) or Trichoderma asperellum to control the disease. The experiments were conducted in farmers' fields in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. The treatments were applied once during the rainy season by soil drenching at a rate of 20 mL of bioformulation per litre of water around each tree. The results revealed that the treated cashew trees had significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower final disease severity (between 15.17% and 33.75% in 2021/2022 and 14.43%–31.93% in 2022/2023) than the untreated trees (77.17% and 89.31%, respectively). The only treatment that was not significantly different from the control was the rice husk–T. asperellum formulation in both years. In treated plots, disease severity decreased over time each year, whereas disease severity increased in untreated trees. Based on these results, the three formulations of Bacillus strains and two of the Trichoderma asperellum formulations (bran‐based or bran–husk combination) should be evaluated further for the management of Fusarium wilt of cashew. This study offers a potential solution to utilise locally available organic substrates for developing liquid‐based formulations of biological control agents.

AbstractThe Pan‐Himalaya, known as the “Roof of the World”, forms a natural geographic unit covering the entire range of the Himalaya and the Hengduan Mountains in addition to Karakorum and the northeastern extreme of Hindu Kush. The region possesses three biodiversity hotspots and harbors a rich and distinctive flora. Here, we review the history of plant diversity surveys and monographic studies in the region. The contributions of outstanding collectors of Pan‐Himalaya are also reviewed, as well as the ongoing international project on the Flora of Pan‐Himalaya (FPH). As the main concern of the present review, we showed that the development of botanic survey is uneven among different areas in the Pan‐Himalaya region, and that a special concern should be given to northern Myanmar and Yarlung Zangbo–Brahmaputra.
Statute of Limitations for Tax Evasion
Authors: Pavel Raluca , Acikgoz Bernur , Poudou Jean‐Christophe , Willinger Marc 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWe investigate the effects of retroactive audits and varying statutes of limitations on tax compliance through a laboratory experiment. First, we solve a dynamic model using Bellman's solution to show that longer limitation periods promote compliance by raising expected penalties, as each past period carries a higher probability of inspection. Second, in our experiment, we manipulate the statute of limitations (0, 1, 3, and 6 periods), providing data that support the model's predictions. Our data also suggest that a 3‐year statute of limitation optimally balances compliance benefits with administrative efficiency.
Collaborative Growth: When Large Language Models Meet Sociolinguistics
Authors: Nguyen Dong 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTLarge Language Models (LLMs) have dramatically transformed the AI landscape. They can produce remarkable fluent text and exhibit a range of natural language understanding and generation capabilities. This article explores how LLMs might be used for sociolinguistic research and, conversely, how sociolinguistics can contribute to the development of LLMs. It argues that both areas of research will benefit from a thoughtful, engaging collaboration. Sociolinguists are not merely end users of LLMs; they have a crucial role to play in the development of LLMs.
A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite
Authors: Lee Martin R. , Floyd Cameron J. , Haller Robin , Griffin Sammy 
Published: February 2025

AbstractXenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim. This rim shows that the clast is a xenolith that interacted with dust in the protoplanetary disk between liberation from its protolith and incorporation into Cold Bokkeveld's parent body. Prior to its fragmentation, the xenolith's protolith had undergone brittle deformation, with the fractures produced being cemented by carbonates to make veins. After being incorporated into Cold Bokkeveld's parent body, the veined xenolith experienced a second phase of aqueous alteration leading to hydration of its fine‐grained rim, replacement of carbonate by tochilinite–cronstedtite intergrowths, and formation of magnetite within its fine‐grained matrix. The veined xenolith's protolith underwent its entire geological evolution (accretion–aqueous alteration–fracturing–fragmentation) before Cold Bokkeveld's parent body had accreted. Such a short lifespan may be explained by explosive breakup of the protolith due to overpressure from gases produced internally during water–rock interaction. Early fragmentation effectively acted as a thermostat to limit runaway heating that may have otherwise resulted from the body's high concentrations of 26Al. Many other hydrous lithic clasts in CM carbonaceous chondrite meteorites could be the remains of such ephemeral early asteroids, but they are hard to identify without evidence that they were accreted as hydrous lithologies and contemporaneously with chondrules.
Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

Published: February 2025

AbstractRefractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed. Here, we performed mid‐infrared (MIR) fine‐scale hyperspectral imaging over large fields of view to detect RIs in CM and CO chondrites. A database of MIR spectra of typical RIs minerals was built (1) to support future remote sensing observations in astronomical environments and (2) to develop a detection method based on machine‐learning algorithms and spectral distance between sample and reference minerals. With this method, up to 96.5% of the RI content is detected in a meteorite section. Further comparison between scanning electron microscopy and spot analysis acquired in reflectance in the full MIR range shows that RIs can be classified following their mineralogy based on infrared (IR) properties. Finally, we show that the relative OH content of several RIs in CM chondrites determined from IR spectroscopy can be used to infer the extent of modification caused by aqueous alteration on the asteroidal parent body.

Published: February 2025

AbstractWith the advancement of urbanization, cities are constructing expressways to meet complex travel demands. However, traditional link‐based road network design methods face challenges in addressing large‐scale expressway network design problems. This study proposes an expressway network design method tailored for multi‐subregion road networks. The method employs the macroscopic fundamental diagram to model arterial dynamics and the cell transmission model to capture expressway dynamics. A stochastic user equilibrium model is further established for route choice, and a decision model is developed to minimize total time spent. Simulations show that new expressways alleviate network congestion, with significant effects in the initial stages. Moreover, route guidance strategies and driver compliance also influence the schemes.
Manifestation of Chronic and Non‐Communicable Diseases Among Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses in Finland: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Cubelo Floro , Turunen Hannele 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTLimited research has explored the impact of migration on the manifestation of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among internationally educated nurses (IENs) in Finland. This study aimed to describe Filipino IENs' experiences with the manifestation of NCDs among them. Secondary data from 10 IENs working in two hospitals were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. The study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist. Three key themes emerged: insufficient knowledge and lack of interest in health promotion, migration as a factor, and occupational health challenges. Migration was found to impact NCD occurrence. Inadequate knowledge and underutilization of occupational health services were identified as a barrier to prevent the risk of getting NCDs. Long waiting periods for appointments and language barriers exacerbated these risks. Limited awareness of available occupational health services and disinterest in health promotion contributed to NCD manifestation among IENs. Lengthy waiting times highlighted the need for educational campaigns on health‐promoting activities. Cultural competence training for local healthcare providers can improve culturally sensitive occupational healthcare for IENs. Health promotion education should be provided to IENs before their migration. Upon arrival, nurse managers should inform the nurses about the availability of occupational healthcare services provided by the employer, ensuring easy access. Additionally, efforts should be made to ensure that nurses integrate well into society, including facilitating access to recreational activities.
Nursing and Pluralism: The Work of Michel Serres
Authors: McCaffrey Graham 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTNursing theory should reflect the pluralism inherent in nursing practice. Nurses routinely enact different kinds of knowledge in combination to achieve good nursing care. Nursing theoretical and philosophical literature includes many attempts to engage with epistemological pluralism. In this paper, concepts from the work of Michel Serres are introduced as a contribution to the resources available to think pluralistically about nursing. Serres' work is valuable because he is a pluralist thinker, who uses different conceptual tools to explore the complexity of human life, including topology, isomorphism, and the excluded third. Serres' terms are discussed with examples of application to nursing. An extendeddd example of addictions nursing is used to pull together different concepts applied to a complex and multilayered area of practice.
Monetization and the Fiscal Multiplier
Authors: Fratianni Michele , Lucchetti Riccardo , Giri Federico , Valentini Francesco 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTWe investigate the size of Italian fiscal multipliers over the period 1872–2006. By instrumenting total expenditure with defence expenditure, we measure the multiplier under different business and monetary policy regimes, also employing a time‐varying parameters model to encompass structural changes. We explore the nexus between the multiplier and monetization using the treasury monetary base, a policy instrument used in Italy during the period, as a novel measure of monetization. Results suggest that when monetization and economic slackness occur jointly, the fiscal multiplier tends to be larger. Monetization does not significantly affect the multiplier during expansions.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBudd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) presents with various degrees of liver damage, and the choice of treatment depends on the type and extent of hepatic injury. Liver transplantation (LT) is considered as the final treatment option when other interventions are not feasible and when the liver injury is irreversible. We report a case of a pediatric patient with BCS who underwent liver transplantation from a living donor in the context of thrombophilic disorder.Case PresentationA 14‐month‐old girl was admitted to the hospital with ascites. She was malnourished, and an abdominal CT scan confirmed significant ascites with no visualization of the hepatic veins and retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC). A liver biopsy revealed fibrosis, necrosis, and parenchymal hemorrhage. Patient's portal hypertension was managed with prophylactic beta‐blocker Propranolol and endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation. However, she was hospitalized four times due to gastrointestinal bleeding from ruptured esophageal varices. Protein C deficiency was found as probable etiology of BCS. The patient underwent liver transplantation at 3 years and 8 months old with a liver from a parental living donor. The surgery and postoperative course were uneventful, and the patient was discharged 25 days after the transplant.Clinical DiscussionHypercoagulability is often the underlying cause of BCS. Maintaining anticoagulation/thrombophilic balance postoperatively contributed to the successful liver transplantation in this pediatric patient.ConclusionLiver transplantation is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric patients with BCS who meet the criteria for the procedure.
Inoculation of methylotrophs mitigates heat and UV stress in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) and enhances growth, antioxidant, and functional diversity
Authors: Gamit Harshida A. , Manoharadas Salim , Amaresan Natarajan 
Published: February 2025

AbstractClimate change involves the induction of heat and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which profoundly affects sustainable crop production. Increasing solar UV radiation negatively impacts the photosynthetic apparatus, plant‐associated organisms, and plant health. The present study aimed to comprehensively assess methylotrophic bacteria to alleviate heat and UV radiation in Vigna radiata L. under pot studies and field conditions. Under normal and UVB stress conditions, inoculation of methylotrophs significantly enhanced seed germination (72.55%–96.70% (normal) and 51.67%–65.33% (stressed)) and improved plant growth parameters, total chlorophyll (25.80–48.16 mg/g (normal) and 9.13–27.88 mg/g (stressed)), and carotenoid (569.1–1067.1 μg/g (normal) and 287.8–903.4 μg/g (stressed)) contents. A similar enhancement in antioxidant properties such as superoxide dismutase (1–5 fold), peroxidase (1–9 fold), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (1–4 fold), and proline content (1–5 fold) was observed in response to UVB radiation and heat stress under pot studies. A community‐level physiological profile (CLPP) study of leaf samples revealed enhanced AWCD in methylotrophs treated plants compared to the UVB‐exposed controls. Furthermore, field studies in summer conditions confirmed that inoculation with methylotrophs had a positive effect on V. radiata growth and physiology. The methylotrophs inoculation increased pod formation (25.44–32.78 and 15.56–32.00) and yield (109.81–238.63 and 71.88–216.29 q/ha) under UV cut‐off sheet covered and non‐covered conditions, respectively. This study demonstrated the potential of methylotrophs to mitigate heat and solar (UV) radiation in plants and provide sustainable strategies for agriculture and the environment.
Product and Process Innovation: Evaluating Supplier Diversity and Geographic Proximity in Importing by Non‐MNEs
Authors: Fernández‐Olmos Marta , Dupouët Olivier 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis work aims to clarify the role of intermediate imports on the innovation performance of non‐multinational enterprises (non‐MNEs) by examining the geographic proximity and diversity of international suppliers. Firstly, it has been argued that importing from nearby suppliers will contribute more to innovation performance than distant suppliers. Secondly, it is postulated that importing from several foreign suppliers will contribute more to innovation performance than importing from only one supplier. The analysis was conducted in the country of Spain, where, as in many other developed countries, intermediate imports have registered an upward trend in recent years. Using the ESEE (Spanish Survey on Business Strategies) database from the period 2006 to 2018, a joint analysis of product and process innovations was conducted. The empirical findings of 2000 Spanish non‐MNEs support the theoretical arguments. The results highlight the relevance of studying both product and process innovations and the importance of knowing their causes to improve innovation performance. Moreover, the results provide a basis for understanding the importance of geographic location when choosing foreign suppliers.
Using a Standard‐Based Innovation Management System Approach—A Catalyst for Innovation Legitimacy?
Authors: Lerche Kristoffer , Magnusson Mats 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study explores how the use of a standard‐based Innovation Management System approach influences the legitimacy for innovation management—a management discipline often subject to innovation fads and fashions. Utilizing neo institutional theory as a lens, we explore how this approach increased legitimacy for innovation management in case studies of two large organizations, and how this in turn affected innovation activities. Theoretically, we contribute by adding construct clarity to the concept of legitimacy, in relation to management systems, and by increasing understanding of the role of legitimacy in innovation activities. Managerial implications include the potential use of an Innovation Management Systems Standard to create a common language for innovation, to systematize innovation efforts and improve the perceived seriosity of innovation management, which in turn enables more robust and continuous innovation efforts in organizations.
The Impact of Bank Regulation on Commercial Bank Performance: Evidence From South Africa
Authors: Gwatidzo Tendai 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTUsing data on South Africa's commercial banks in the period 2005–2018, this paper investigates the impact of bank regulation on bank performance. The study uses a fixed effects model to run the regression model as well as the data envelopment analysis approach to estimate efficiency scores. We find a number of interesting results. First, we find a negative relationship between capital stringency and bank performance, suggesting that increased capital requirements force banks to increase their reserves, adversely affecting their performance. Second, we find a positive relationship between activity restrictions and bank performance, indicating that this kind of regulation, which may well be good for the public as argued by the public interest view of regulation, is also good for the regulated banks. Third, we find a negative and significant relationship between supervisory power and bank performance. Fourth, we find a positive and significant relationship between the market discipline index and bank performance, suggesting that by creating environments characterised by high market discipline, the regulatory regime enhances the ability and incentives of private investors to efficiently monitor banks. This ensures better management of banks, ultimately increasing profitability. Overall, the study finds that regulation matters for bank performance.
