Feminist Corporate Social Responsibility: Reframing CSR as a Critical Force for Good
Authors: Spence Laura J. , Taylor Scott 
Published: February 2024

AbstractWhile corporate social responsibility (CSR) research is now impressively broad, we identify fresh opportunities at the intersection of feminist and critical analysis to reframe this field as a force for good. We focus on the epistemological grounding of CSR in its potential to understand and change how managerial activity is interpreted and influenced for progressive ends. We approach this through a reading of the debate on CSR's limited practical use, to imagine a better methodological and purposeful future for CSR. This involves a different, feminist, political and ethical stance for researchers in relation to CSR as an object, to bring CSR theory and practice into alignment in order to revive its sense of purpose as a driving organizational force for good. Our change‐orientated approach is based on a reading of Judith Butler's notion of critique as praxis of values; it is politically aware, reflexive, and focused on the goal of good organization to address grand, often existential, challenges. We conclude by showing how this approach to CSR brings a more transparent way of analysing practice, requiring reflexive action on the part of those working with CSR initiatives both as practitioners and as researchers to co‐produce better futures.
Critique refigured: art, activism, and politics in post‐recession Dublin
Authors: Morningstar Natalie 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis article argues that the anthropology of critique has been hampered by an implicit framing of critique as the content of knowledge rather than an orientation to knowledge about the world. It does so building on an ethnographic account of a group of critical citizens in post‐recession Dublin, Ireland. It stages a comparison between two different forms of critique of importance to them: art and activism. Contrary to the assumption that activism and detachment, and moral advocacy and empiricism, are at odds, this ethnographic comparison reveals that here the ultimate critical skill is thought to be the ability to take up different critical attitudes. Moreover, it isn't a lack of detachment but the creation of a ‘critical community’ that makes critique political. Drawing from this ethnographic instance of what counts as critique, this article thus makes a case for an anthropology of critique as itself a critical practice – one that is becoming increasingly urgent as critique as we know it has come to exhibit a hegemony of form in the social sciences and public cultures of debate.
A paradigm shift in crisis management: The nexus of AGI‐driven intelligence fusion networks and blockchain trustworthiness
Authors: Yue Yang , Shyu Joseph Z. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn an era characterized by vast data streams and complex socioeconomic dynamics, the fusion and precise analysis of multi‐sourced intelligence has emerged as a pivotal challenge. To address this, the study constructs a sophisticated intelligence fusion network (IFN) architecture leveraging the potential of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the security tenets of blockchain technology. Drawing from diverse fields including informatics, computer science, data analytics, and network security, the research adopts an integrative methodology comprising both a comprehensive literature review and systems analysis. Key findings highlight the prowess of AGI‐driven IFNs in enhancing governmental early warning systems for crisis management. These networks underscore a paradigm shift from reactive postevent measures to proactive pre‐event forecasting, thus bolstering the efficacy of governmental responses. Moreover, the decentralized nature of blockchain technology ensures data integrity, fostering trust in interdepartmental data sharing—an essential for efficient crisis management in hierarchical administrative structures. This study accentuates the need for redefining crisis management strategies, emphasizing data‐driven decision‐making and seamless intelligence sharing to ensure optimal outcomes.

SummaryThe planned withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment is a common practice in the intensive care unit for patients where ongoing organ support is recognised to be futile. Predicting the time to asystole following withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment is crucial for setting expectations, resource utilisation and identifying patients suitable for organ donation after circulatory death. This systematic review evaluates the literature for variables associated with, and predictive models for, time to asystole in patients managed on intensive care units. We conducted a comprehensive structured search of the MEDLINE and Embase databases. Studies evaluating patients managed on adult intensive care units undergoing withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment with recorded time to asystole were included. Data extraction and PROBAST quality assessment were performed and a narrative summary of the literature was provided. Twenty‐three studies (7387 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Variables associated with imminent asystole (<60 min) included: deteriorating oxygenation; absence of corneal reflexes; absence of a cough reflex; blood pressure; use of vasopressors; and use of comfort medications. We identified a total of 20 unique predictive models using a wide range of variables and techniques. Many of these models also underwent secondary validation in further studies or were adapted to develop new models. This review identifies variables associated with time to asystole following withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment and summarises existing predictive models. Although several predictive models have been developed, their generalisability and performance varied. Further research and validation are needed to improve the accuracy and widespread adoption of predictive models for patients managed in intensive care units who may be eligible to donate organs following their diagnosis of death by circulatory criteria.
Promoter‐centred chromatin interactions associated with EVI1 expression in EVI1+3q− myeloid leukaemia cells

Published: February 2024

SummaryEVI1 expression is associated with poor prognosis in myeloid leukaemia, which can result from Chr.3q alterations that juxtapose enhancers to induce EVI1 expression via long‐range chromatin interactions. More often, however, EVI1 expression occurs unrelated to 3q alterations, and it remained unclear if, in these cases, EVI1 expression is similarly caused by aberrant enhancer activation. Here, we report that, in EVI1+3q− myeloid leukaemia cells, the EVI1 promoter interacts via long‐range chromatin interactions with promoters of distally located, active genes, rather than with enhancer elements. Unlike in 3q+ cells, EVI1 expression and long‐range interactions appear to not depend on CTCF/cohesin, though EVI1+3q− cells utilise an EVI1 promoter‐proximal site to enhance its expression that is also involved in CTCF‐mediated looping in 3q+ cells. Long‐range interactions in 3q− cells connect EVI1 to promoters of multiple genes, whose transcription correlates with EVI1 in EVI1+3q− cell lines, suggesting a shared mechanism of transcriptional regulation. In line with this, CRISPR interference‐induced silencing of two of these sites minimally, but consistently reduced EVI1 expression. Together, we provide novel evidence of features associated with EVI1 expression in 3q− leukaemia and consolidate the view that EVI1 in 3q− leukaemia is largely promoter‐driven, potentially involving long‐distance promoter clustering.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper presents a sequentially restored cross‐section of the Organyà and Montsec minibasins based on geological mapping, new field observations and available borehole data. The main objective was to describe the geometry and evolution of both basins in terms of salt tectonics and minibasin mobility. To this end, a comprehensive palaeomagnetic database has been used to constrain vertical‐axis rotations potentially related to minibasin translation and pivoting. The Organyà minibasin constitutes an asymmetric depocentre formed during the Upper Jurassic‐Lower Cretaceous by translation above a southerly inclined salt layer. Salt evacuation and minibasin touchdown induced salt accumulation on the northern side of the basin that culminated in the development of the major Santa Fe unconformity during the late Albian—early Cenomanian. Indicative of salt quiescence is the following isopachous Cenomanian to lower Santonian sequence Salt tectonics resumed during the late Santonian—Palaeocene, with the Montsec minibasin downbuilding coinciding with the onset of Pyrenean convergence. Changes of the base‐salt topography reflects regional‐scale geodynamic processes. The acceleration of crustal thinning in the North Pyrenean zone during the late Albian‐early Cenomanian favoured uplift in the Axial Zone, increasing slope and triggering salt mobilization in the Southern Pyrenees. Likewise, the onset of contraction renewed the downslope gliding of the Organyà and Montsec minbasins, and supports the idea that the early stages of basin inversion were governed by gravity tectonics. The kinematic reconstruction suggests that the more that 30° counterclockwise vertical axis rotation records pivoting during the suprasalt translation of the Organyà minibasin rather than solely the Iberian microplate rotation.

AbstractObjectiveSerum luteinising hormone (LH) concentration has been reported to be lower in girls with overweight and obesity (OW/OB) as compared with girls with normal weight (NW). This study aimed to evaluate peak serum LH concentration during gonadotropin‐releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) test in girls with OW/OB and NW who had central precocious puberty (CPP) and to determine peak serum LH cut‐off for diagnosing CPP in girls with OW/OB.Design, Patients and MeasurementsMedical records of 971 girls with premature breast development who underwent subcutaneous GnRHa (100 µg of triptorelin acetate) test were reviewed. All girls were classified as either CPP or premature thelarche. All of them were further classified into two groups according to their body mass index as NW and OW/OB groups for each Tanner stage.ResultsThere were 634 and 337 girls in NW and OW/OB groups, respectively. CPP was diagnosed in 600 girls (249 had Tanner stage II and 351 had Tanner stage III). There were no differences in peak serum LH concentrations between CPP girls with NW and OW/OB. Peak serum LH cut‐off of 5 IU/L (the current widely used cut‐off) had a sensitivity and a specificity of 75% and 90%, respectively in NW group. Peak serum LH cut‐off for CPP diagnosis was lower at 4 IU/L in the OW/OB group with greater sensitivity and specificity of 86% and 93%, respectively. The results were reproducible for each Tanner stage of breasts.ConclusionLower peak serum LH cut‐off to 4 IU/L for diagnosing CPP in girls with OW/OB should be considered to avoid underdiagnosis of the condition.
South‐south refugee movements: Do pull factors play a role?
Authors: Lanati Mauro , Thiele Rainer 
Published: February 2024

AbstractStudies analyzing the pattern of international refugee flows have so far focussed on movements to OECD destinations, even though the vast majority of refugees live in non‐OECD countries. Employing a standard gravity model of international migration, we fill this research gap by investigating the impact of destination country characteristics on south‐south refugee movements over the period 2004–2019. Our findings suggest that refugees tend to move to safe neighboring countries but also positively respond to local pull factors such as relatively high per‐capita income levels and the availability of education and health services when choosing their country of destination. Donors have the ability to affect the direction of south‐south refugee movements by investing in the social infrastructure of potential destination countries.

AbstractObjectiveChildren with self‐limited epilepsy characterized by centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) exhibit cognitive deficits in memory during the active phase, but there is currently a lack of studies and techniques to assess their memory development after well‐controlled seizures. In this study, we employed eye‐tracking techniques to investigate visual memory and its association with clinical factors and global intellectual ability, aiming to identify potential risk factors by examining encoding and recognition processes.MethodsA total of 26 recruited patients diagnosed with SeLECTS who had been seizure‐free for at least 2 years, along with 24 control subjects, underwent Wechsler cognitive assessment and an eye‐movement‐based memory task while video‐electroencephalographic (EEG) data were recorded. Fixation and pupil data related to eye movements were utilized to detect distinct memory processes and subsequently to compare the cognitive performance of patients exhibiting different regression patterns on EEG.ResultsThe findings revealed persistent impairments in visual memory among children with SeLECTS after being well controlled, primarily observed in the recognition stage rather than the encoding phase. Furthermore, the age at onset, frequency of seizures, and interictal epileptiform discharges exhibited significant correlations with eye movement data.SignificanceChildren with SeLECTS exhibit persistent recognition memory impairment after being well controlled for the disease. Controlling the frequency of seizures and reducing prolonged epileptiform activity may improve memory cognitive development. The application of the eye‐tracking technique may provide novel insights into exploring memory cognition as well as underlying mechanisms associated with pediatric epilepsy.
Spatial coordination and industrial pollution of urban agglomerations: Evidence from the Yellow River Basin in China

Published: February 2024

AbstractPopulation, economy, and other social factors of urban agglomerations in river basins bear the inescapable responsibility for water environmental pollution. This article utilizes data from 53 cities in three regional‐level urban agglomerations in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) from 2006 to 2015 as research samples to analyse the impact of the coupling and coordination of physical space expansion (PSE) and social space structure (SSS) of urban agglomerations on industrial pollution. Multi‐source remote sensing data is used to quantify the physical space expansion of urban agglomerations, while population and economic data are used to measure the social space structure. We analyse the coupling coordination degree and spatiotemporal evolution of the PSE and SSS of urban agglomerations by applying a coupling coordination degree model. Finally, the grey incidence model is used to rank the influencing factors of pollution. The research findings are summarized as follows: (1) Three regional‐level urban agglomerations in the YRB show excessive expansion, with the Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration (SPUA) being the most severe. (2) SPUA and Central Plains Urban Agglomeration (CPUA) exhibit the polycentric SSS, while the Guanzhong Plain Urban Agglomeration (GPUA) shows the monocentric SSS. (3) PSE and SSS of the three urban agglomerations are slightly uncoordinated, but show a trend of easing. The uncoordinated level between SPE and economic distribution in CPUA ranks the highest. (4) SSS exerts the greatest impact on pollution, while the pollution impact of PSE ranks lower. The pollution impact of the coupling coordination degree between SPE and SSS falls between the two. The research results provide a reference for sustainable urban development and planning in countries around the world.
Adaptive solution to transfer learning of neural network controllers from earth to space environments
Authors: Ogundipe Collins , Ellery Alex 
Published: February 2024

AbstractCompliant manipulation has long been a major constraint for grappling in robotic manipulators. To adopt robotic manipulators in space for the prospect of capturing space junk and transforming them into salvageable assets for re‐use, robust adaptive manipulation would be key. We believe that a bio‐inspired approach could provide human‐like tactility required for robustness and adaptability in robotic manipulation. Given the similarity in form and dynamics between earth‐based and space‐based robotic manipulators, we first explored the transfer learning of neural network controllers as an avenue to address the challenges of limited computation resources onboard the spacecraft (space manipulator). We introduced a pre‐trained and learned feedforward neural network for modelling the control error a priori. While the results were encouraging, there are major limitations of neural networks' capability to ensuring the transfer learning of similar earth‐based dynamics to space‐based dynamics, given that the parameters of contrast are fairly straightforward. We have demonstrated these limitations by presenting a novel approach that is inspired by human motor control. We explored the adaptability through a practical problem of transferring a neuro‐controller from earth to space. With the results not as plausible as expected, an alternative adaptive controller has been learned to demonstrate a viable solution. The controller was trained entirely in simulation via rapid online adaptation of the robot's controller to the object's properties and environmental dynamics using only proprioception history. As a notable step, we have shown that appropriate models can be learned in this manner by training the control policy via reinforcement learning, which provides avenue for transferring the learned model from earth to space environments.
Long‐term phytoplankton dynamics in two High Arctic lakes (north‐east Greenland)

Abstract

Primary producers form the base of lake ecosystems and, due to their often short lifecycles, respond rapidly to changing conditions. As the Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average, we see major shifts in environmental conditions, which impacts lake ecosystem functioning. Previous studies have found a general increase in primary productivity due to climate warming. However, few long‐term studies have included changes in phytoplankton community composition and biomass in relation to warming in Arctic lakes and it therefore remains unclear how different algal taxa and thus the community respond.

We investigated how climate warming affects phytoplankton community composition, taxon richness and biomass in High Arctic lakes, using a unique 23‐year data series on phytoplankton in two shallow lakes at Zackenberg, north‐east Greenland, one with Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and one without fish. We further elucidated the role of physico‐chemical variables and zooplankton grazers in the changes observed.

Few major changes were observed in phytoplankton community composition over time, but the year‐to‐year variation was large. Taxon richness did, however, increase throughout the monitoring period, and in both lakes there was a significant increase in diatom biomass coinciding with increasing conductivity. Additionally, phytoplankton biomass was greater during warmer years with earlier ice melt. We further found that nutrient levels were positively associated with the total phytoplankton biomass in both lakes, indicating that expected increased nutrient levels, due to climate change, may lead to a greater phytoplankton biomass in High Arctic lakes in the future.

The large year‐to‐year variability, in both climate and environmental conditions, makes it difficult to predict weather patterns and their consequences for lake ecosystems in the Arctic region. This underlines the importance of long‐term monitoring programmes across the circumpolar Arctic and collaboration across regions and institutes within large scale studies.

Published: February 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to summarize the evidence regarding screen use as a contributing factor in pediatric headache and migraine.BackgroundScreen exposure is often reported as a headache trigger, though there is no current consensus in terms of how screen type, duration, or frequency influences pediatric headache and the associated burden of disease.MethodsA systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ProQuest Health and Medical Database, and Google Scholar was performed through November 2022 in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement. All English‐language articles of pediatric patients aged ≤18 years evaluating screen use in relation to headache were included.ResultsA total of 48 studies were included. Nearly all studies were cross‐sectional and represented international samples. The strongest association between screen use and headache found was for duration of use, and computer use emerged as the most common device type related to headache. While there were mixed findings related to screen use and specific headache diagnosis, migraine appeared to confer a higher risk. Across studies, there were insufficient data to assess the impact of screen use on headache frequency or headache‐related disability. Several studies demonstrated changes in screen use and headache patterns related to the COVID‐19 pandemic and computer vision syndrome was commonly reported.ConclusionsWhile there is preliminary evidence supporting possible associations between screen use and pediatric headache, there are several limitations in the present review including a lack of prospective and randomized controlled trials to better demonstrate causal relationships as well as methodological limitations with significant variability in how both headache and screen use are defined and measured. Future studies including real‐time screen use and device monitoring are needed to better understand the influence of screen use behaviors on pediatric headache and to help further define best‐use guidelines around these technologies.
