Anteroposterior Regionalization of the Vertebrate Nervous System
Authors: Graham Anthony , Mason Ivor 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The complex vertebrate nervous system is constructed in a stepwise fashion during development. Specification of the neural territory at the dorsal surface of the embryo occurs early in development: at the gastrula stage (see Chapter 5). The subdivision of the neural primordium into the four broad territories, which prefigure the gross anatomy of the adult brain (forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord) occurs both concomitant with and following neural induction. As embryogenesis proceeds, these domains are further partitioned into smaller units, which define the placement of neuronal populations and pioneering of the first axonal pathways. Thereby, the ground plan of the brain’s neuronal architecture is established. Thus these early patterning events are critical to the development of the adult nervous system, as they provide the scaffolding upon which the elaborate cytoarchitecture of the brain and spinal cord is realized. In this chapter we discuss the current view of how the nervous system becomes patterned along its long axis (anteroposterior axis). Such a review is timely as we are now beginning to understand both the developmental processes and the molecular effectors that underlie the anteroposterior regionalization of the nervous system.
Axon guidance in the Developing Vertebrate Nervous System
Authors: Guthrie Sarah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
During development, neurons originate in the inner, proliferative ventricular zone of the neural tube and then move away to form the outer mantle zone. Both progenitor cells and neurons may migrate radially or tangentially with respect to the developing neuroepithelium. Neuronal migrations occur over a protracted period and take place in a complex landscape containing many cells which have already differentiated and extended axons (1). As a general rule, large projection neurons are generated first, and smaller interneurons and glial cells are produced later. Neuronal migration is an active process, which results in neurons taking up their correct positions within laminar or nuclear structures (2). Axonogenesis often begins during this migration so that the processes of migration, differentiation, and axonogenesis are intimately linked. Thus the processes of migration and axon extension are regulated coordinately and are likely to depend on the same, or similar, receptor-ligand systems.
Evolutionary Aspects of Vertebrate Patterning
Authors: Shimeld Sebastian M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the later half of the nineteenth century and early decades of the twentieth century, embryology and evolutionary biology where intricately linked, as the work of scientists such as Haeckel, von Baer, and Garstang testifies. However, during the early twentieth century evolutionary embryology essentially reached a technical boundary and, since the New Synthesis, when Mendelian genetics were unified with Darwinian natural selection, evolutionary biology has been largely quantitative. Principal themes have been the study of variation in natural populations, the effect of selection, and the establishment of phylogenies of living and extinct animals using molecular and morphological systematics. These studies essentially focus on diversity. Conversely, the model system approach of modern developmental biology has emphasized conservation, i.e. the similarity of developmental mechanisms between taxa. Modern evolutionary developmental biology attempts to reunite these two areas, using modern molecular and developmental techniques to investigate questions that were often first posed over 100 years ago.
Live Now, Pay Later

Abstract
IT seems that Stephen Daedalus was either a poet too much or too little: he did not reply and presently watched as his friend Cranly chased ‘gipsy’ Temple away. For my part I sympathized with Temple most among all Joyce’s students in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man; he seemed more scientific than the rest. From the time I first read it I suspected his idea could well be profound. Later, combining some thoughts from R. A. Fisher, P. B. Medawar, and G. C. Williams along with new ones of my own, I became convinced of it as the paper in this chapter shows.
Citation analysis and mapping of genetics research in Iran
Authors: Sedghi Shahram , Ghaffari Heshajin Somayeh 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
Genetics, a discipline of biology, is one of the most recent and rapidly advancing disciplines in science. This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of the genetics research output of Iranian authors, map the intellectual structure of these studies and investigate the development path of this literature and the interrelationships among the main topics.

Design/methodology/approach
This study searched the Web of Science database for documentation of Iranian-published genetics research published up to 2020. Further, this study used HistCite software to profile and analyze the most cited articles and references and to draw their historiographies.

Findings
A database search revealed 21,329 documents that created the study population. The highest cited publications based on the Global Citation Score (GCS) and Local Citation Score (LCS) achieved scores of 602 and 47, respectively. The publication growth rate study demonstrated consistent expansion over time. The scientific maps based on LCS and GCS had five and four clusters, respectively. Furthermore, journal articles emerged as the predominant type of publication.

Practical implications
The significance of this study is in its contribution to understanding the genetics research position in Iran, informing policymakers and researchers, helping scientific collaboration and its impact on public attitudes and quality of life. The results of the present study, with benefits for various groups of communities, such as policymakers, academic groups and public society, can bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical implications.

Social implications
The results of this study, by helping future advancement in health care, medical genetics and disease prevention, may have a direct and indirect positive influence on the quality of life. Furthermore, it may lead to more informed discussions on health care and biotechnology as well as influencing public attitudes and perceptions.

Originality/value
Ultimately, this study concludes that despite the proliferation of publications in terms of quantity and complexity, especially in areas such as disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment, there remains a need for more attention to other facets of genetics such as biology and biotechnology. Iranian publications are most related to population genetics, human genetics, molecular genetics, medical genetics, genomics, developmental genetics and evolutionary genetics out of 10 branches of genetics. This study reveals patterns in scientific outputs and authorship collaborations and plays an alternative and innovative role in revealing Iranian research trends in genetics.

Research on the production, application and management of virtual reality in the National Palace Museum
Authors: Wu Shao-Chun , Lin James Quo-Ping 
Published: November 2023

PurposeVirtual reality (VR) can be used as an alternative mean for viewing collections at home when it is not possible to visit museums due to COVID-19. This study took the development process of VR at Taiwan's National Palace Museum (NPM) as a case to discuss the characteristics of VR developed there in different periods and how NPM transforms the contents of its collections into VR.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a case study to analyze the development process of VR at NPM from 2014 to 2019 and summarized the characteristics of the development and application of VR.Findings The authors find that the history of VR application in NPM is a process from exploring the technology to gradually getting familiar with the potential of its application. Its development can be divided into the exploration and experiment stage from 2014 to 2015, the single collection interpretation stage in 2016 and the multipurpose application stage from 2017 to 2019. It is suggested that museums should adopt a long-term strategy to introduce VR, make plans carefully and pay attention to the limitations of VR application.Research limitations/implications The results of this study are suitable for art and history museums.Originality/value Many research studies on the application of VR in museums mostly focused on the benefits and technologies of adopting VR in museums as well as specific museum VR projects. There is still scant literature on the development process of museum VR from the perspective of museum organizations.
Corporate tax avoidance: a systematic literature review and future research directions
Authors: Duhoon Anshu , Singh Mohinder 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThe increased interest among academicians to explore more about tax management behavior is evident in the literature on corporate tax avoidance. This paper aims to illustrate the multiple aspects that influence the tax avoidance behavior of corporations and its impacts through the systematic review method.Design/methodology/approachThis study used “Tax Avoidance” OR “Tax Aggressiveness” OR “Tax Planning” as search strings to extract the relevant literature from the Scopus database. This study is a comprehensive analysis of existing literature on corporate tax avoidance behavior. Further, the keyword network analysis has been used to find out the most explored and dry research areas related to corporate tax avoidance behavior using VOSviewer software.FindingsThe study finds that taxation decision is an important managerial decision. Managers adopt tax avoidance tactics to boost postax profits to meet the shareholders’ expectations, particularly of risk-averse shareholders, and sometimes for their benefit also. With this, this study also finds that firms’ characteristics, political connections and corporate social responsibility activities also impact taxation decisions. In addition, the study identifies that tax-avoiding behavior has a contradictory impact on firm value, market growth and corporate transparency disclosure decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study assists the researchers by providing a brief overview of tax avoidance behavior, for corporates in understanding the implications of tax avoidance, and for policymakers to fix the taxation loopholes and bring necessary tax reforms.Originality/valueThis study adds to the existing literature by providing a thorough overview of theories, determinants and outcomes of corporate tax avoidance behavior.
Origami organizations!
Authors: Faile Kristen , Roberts Paula , Loes Cate 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to provide instructors with a hands-on engaging and experiential class activity designed to teach undergraduate and graduate students about different organizational structures in management courses. Through this exercise, students will be able to self-identify the challenges and strengths of working under contrasting organizational structures.

Design/methodology/approach
Split into two (or four) teams, students construct origami animals based on their team’s organizational structure, using both mechanistic and organic structures to create a zoo based on a set of instructions and boundary conditions. Materials required include origami paper, markers, printed instructions, origami animal instructions, and role title cards for each student. The exercise takes approximately 30–45 min, including debriefing discussion. All materials/instructions needed are included with this paper (except origami paper and markers).

Findings
Through this exercise, students internalize the challenges and strengths of working in organizations with contrasting structures. The debrief discussion will help solidify student understanding of what the day to day experience of working in different organizational structures might look like, the pros and cons of different structures, and what type of employees or industries might thrive under different structures.

Research limitations/implications
This paper is being submitted for the “Special Issue Call for Papers: Modern Day Experiential Exercises.”

Practical implications
This activity allows students to draw their own conclusions about organizational structure and to engage in a fruitful discussion about what working at different types of organizations looks like on a day-to-day basis.

Social implications
This activity allows students to strengthen their skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership by having them work in teams to complete a challenging, competitive task.

Originality/value
While teaching organizational structure in management courses has traditionally been limited to traditional forms of instruction such as lecturing and reviewing different organizational charts, this activity gives students a fun competitive in-class activity in which they practice working as a part of contrasting organizational structures to see what type of structure they might thrive in.
Does CEO's foreign experience promote export performance? Evidence from China
Authors: Wang Jialong , Cui Ran 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWe examine whether CEOs with foreign experience influence firms' export performance. Using a combined dataset based on Chinese‐listed firms from 2008 to 2021, we determine that hiring CEOs with foreign experience significantly enhances firms' export performance. In addition, we document that the positive relationship between CEOs' foreign experience and firms' export performance is more pronounced when CEOs have long‐term foreign work experience. The impact of foreign experience on firms' export performance varies with CEOs' gender. Furthermore, the advantage of appointing CEOs with foreign experience is only significant when firms have long‐time lifespan or receive intensive foreign direct investment. The results are robust to the endogenous CEO selection using instrument variable method, propensity score matching method, and the fixed‐effects model. Accordingly, our findings offer policy implications by suggesting that hiring a CEO with foreign experience is an efficient way to improve firms' export performance.
Conceptual framework of mental health literacy: Results from a scoping review and a Delphi survey
Authors: Soria‐Martínez Mireya , Navarro‐Pérez Carmen Flores , Pérez‐Ardanaz Bibiana , Martí‐García Celia 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMental health literacy (MHL) has been identified as a factor influencing early help‐seeking for mental health problems (MHPs) and stigmatizing attitudes. However, the lack of consensus on its definition has led to considerable heterogeneity in measurement and, consequently, methodological challenges in comparing data. In this way, the present study was conducted with the following objectives: in Phase I, mapping the existing literature through a scoping review; in Phase 2, 28 experts in the field of mental health participated to develop a consensus statement on the relevance and importance of the findings from Phase 1. A total of 37 articles were included for review. Notable nuances were identified in the conceptualization of MHL, particularly with regard to the fact that it should not be limited to mental disorders but should also encompass mental health. Furthermore, the sociocultural influence was highlighted as shaping MHL, recognizing it as a modifiable competence that adapts to different contexts and life stages, involving both individual and collective levels. The experts deemed the findings pertinent and relevant with a high degree of consensus, except for factors related to MHL. This framework provides a refined definition of MHL and related factors that should be taken into account to guide nursing and other disciplines' studies and interventions on MHL. The evolution of this concept includes dimensions to be considered in future research, especially when developing new measurement instruments or implementing educational programmes. This knowledge and skills cannot be determined globally without considering the context and development of the individual.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundStratum corneum (SC) plays a critical role in skin barrier function for protection and defense in nature. The acidic skin pH, which is also known as the acid mantle, is very important in fighting against outer environmental threats, especially, bacteria. Furthermore, recent research has shown that the transient bacteria could potentially penetrate into deeper layer of the SC down to a few micrometers while posing an additional threat to the deeper layers of the skin.AimTo develop a sequential tape stripping method for assessing the impact of personal cleansing product on the SC surface layers' acid mantle properties and antimicrobial defense against transient bacteria.MethodsFifty‐five subjects were recruited. High pH soap‐based Product 1 and low pH synthetic surfactant‐based Product 2 were applied on the left and right forearms of each subject. Sequential tape stripping was performed on the same spots to access multiple layers of the skin SC. Both antimicrobial defense property and skin pH of different skin layers were evaluated at baseline and 12 h after treatment.ResultsThe skin's antimicrobial defense was significantly higher 12 h after treatment of the low pH Product 2 as compared to the treatment of high pH Product 1. In fact, this trend was consistent across all three skin layers (Layer 1 to Layer 3) as measured in this study (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the skin surface pH of Layer 1 and Layer 3 were also lower 12 h after the treatment of low pH Product 2 as compared to that of the high pH Product 1 (p < 0.01).ConclusionThe results of this investigation demonstrated the benefits of 12‐h long lasting and deeper protection of SC acid mantle properties and antimicrobial defense using a low pH skin cleansing product as compared to a high pH product.
Liquidation Value and Loan Pricing
Authors: BARBIERO FRANCESCA , SCHEPENS GLENN , SIGAUX JEAN‐DAVID 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTThis paper shows that the liquidation value of collateral depends on the interdependency between borrower and collateral risk. Using transaction‐level data on short‐term repurchase agreements (repo), we show that borrowers pay a premium of 1.1 to 2.6 basis points when their default risk is positively correlated with the risk of the collateral that they pledge. Moreover, we show that borrowers internalize this premium when making their collateral choices. Loan‐level credit registry data suggest that the results extend to the corporate loan market as well.
Enhancing gel behavior of yellow croaker surimi by fruit extracts: Physicochemical properties and molecular mechanism
Authors: Wang Xinyan , Lin Songyi , Wang Ruichun , Chu Junbo , Dong Liu , Zhang Simin 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grape seed extract (GSE), acerola cherry extract (ACE), and blueberry extract (BBE) on the physicochemical properties and structure of the yellow croaker surimi gel. In addition, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were utilized to study the binding mechanism of yellow croaker's fibrillin and fruit extracts. Surimi gel with 1.5% GSE, ACE, and BBE had the highest water holding capacity, hardness, chewability, cohesion, breaking force, breaking distance, gel strength, and densest 3D network structure, according to the experiment's findings. Nevertheless, the cross‐linking of proteins in surimi was blocked with the further increase of fruit extract (1.5%–2.0%), and the existing network of surimi was weakened or even destroyed. Three fruit extracts had little effect on the secondary structure of the surimi gel. Besides, hydrophobic and disulfide bonds are the main chemical bonds of croaker surimi. Molecular docking showed that B‐type procyanidine (BP) interacted with ASN‐183, SER‐571, ASP‐525, ARG‐350, LYS‐188, GLU‐349, CYS‐353, and other active amino acids in croaker protein. Moreover, it can form strong hydrogen bond interaction with ASN‐183, SER‐571, ASP‐525, and ARG‐350 at the active sites of protein. The BP‐Larimichthys crocea protein system's MD simulation was carried out, and calculations for the simulation's root mean square deviation, root mean square fluctuation, radius of gyration, solvent accessible surface area, and hydrogen bonds were made. It was found that these indices can demonstrate that the BP binding contributes to the stability of the yellow croaker structure.
Disentangling the mechanisms underlying phylosymbiosis in mammals
Authors: Mallott Elizabeth K. 
Published: November 2023

Mammalian gut microbial communities are frequently found to be host‐specific—microbial community compositions are more similar within than between host species—and some individual microbial taxa consistently associate with a single or small set of host species. The ecoevolutionary dynamics that result in this pattern of phylosymbiosis or host specificity have been proposed, but robust tests of the mechanisms driving these relationships are lacking. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Mazel et al. (2023) combine large amplicon sequencing data sets with bacterial phenotypic traits to test whether microbial dispersal patterns contribute to the host specificity of the gut microbiome. They find that both transmission mode and oxygen tolerance are predictive of how specialized a microbe is. Horizontally transmitted, oxygen‐tolerant microbes are more likely to be generalists, and vertically transmitted anaerobes are more likely to be limited to a few host species. This creative use of publicly available data provides a roadmap for testing hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying phylosymbiosis.
