Diversity Pedagogy and Methods Instruction—Some Thoughts on Pedagogical Applications in the Undergraduate Research Methods Course
Authors: Ishiyama John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the general principles of diversity pedagogy and argues that it provides insights on how to more effectively teach undergraduate political science methodology to an increasingly diverse student population. Methodological pluralism should also take into account the pluralism of experiences and perspectives of students, particularly undergraduate students. To more effectively teach students political science methodology, and about the variety of tools that are available to address the questions about politics in the “tool box” instructors will need to consider the diversity of experiences and cultural lenses that students bring to our class rooms. This chapter suggests some pedagogical techniques that demystify methods and make the students take ownership of their own learning (so that they may activate their various ways of knowing and their previous knowledge) and are effective in dealing with a diverse body of students. The undergraduate research methods class is perhaps the singularly most important course in the undergraduate curriculum.
The Intellectual Benefits of Diversity
Authors: Clark Christopher J. , Block Jr. Ray , Johnson Kaneesha , Minta Michael , Baumgartner Frank R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter highlights the longstanding call for increased diversity, particularly in terms of gender, race, and socioeconomic backgrounds within the field of political science. It specifically focuses on the intellectual advantages of racial diversity in the discipline, contending that it enhances the quality of research. Racial diversity not only brings a variety of research themes but also a range of methodological approaches. Despite significant underrepresentation of Black scholars in political science, they have pioneered innovative research on new subjects and introduced novel methodological techniques. These contributions span various subfields, including international relations, political theory, and race and ethnic politics. The chapter highlights the striking lack of diversity in tenure-track faculty positions at leading PhD-granting institutions and the scarcity of PhDs awarded to Black scholars across various disciplines. The chapter also provides several examples of the theoretical richness and innovations stemming from Black scholars’ work and underscores how these insights may not have arisen from White scholars. It emphasizes the role of identity in shaping research questions, theoretical approaches, and the capability to investigate various topics. In conclusion, the chapter stresses that addressing the demographic imbalances within the profession will enrich political science by enhancing the diversity of theoretical questions, approaches, and the capacity to address crucial research inquiries. It also points out that political science lags behind many related disciplines in terms of demographic diversity, and similar intellectual benefits can be expected if these issues are addressed in other fields like economics, history, psychology, and sociology.
Bulls and bears: inscribing SOEs’ roles into the global climate agenda
Authors: Garanina Olga , Klishevich Daria , Panibratov Andrei 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore when and under what conditions state-owned enterprises (SOEs) become important players in orchestrating the global climate action and what their roles are as domestic or international (de)carbonizers.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a conceptual paper that aims to advance understanding of the role of SOEs in addressing the global climate challenge. The authors build on the institutional theory to capture the importance of home-country climate regulation mechanisms and advance knowledge on the internationalization of SOEs. The authors review the literature on the institutional boundaries that shape the environmental activities of firms at home and abroad and develop the argument on the influence of home country institutions and internationalization on the role of SOEs in the global climate agenda.

Findings
In this study, the authors elaborate the SOEs’ climate action matrix and offer three propositions based on the fact that SOEs’ environmental strategies are driven by the interests of the state as owner and the scope of SOEs’ internationalization. First, the authors propose that the level of home country’s climate policy ambition explains SOEs’ stance on climate action. Second, scope of internationalization explains SOEs’ stance on climate action. Third, the progressive/increasing involvement of SOEs in climate action enhances the country’s climate stance.

Originality/value
The authors incorporate the climate argument into international business (IB) studies of SOEs’ internationalization, a novel approach that helps us to advance the knowledge on the complex issue of corporate climate action. The authors argue for a dynamic and reciprocal relationship between home/host countries and SOEs’ climate engagement. In doing this, the authors contribute to the IB research and policy agenda by exploring SOEs’ engagement in advancing the global climate agenda.
Are there other fish in the sea? Exploring the hedge, diversifier and safe-haven features of ESG investments
Authors: Pedini Luca , Severini Sabrina 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to conduct an empirical investigation to assess the hedge, diversifier and safe-haven properties of different environmental, social and governance (ESG) assets (i.e. green bonds and ESG equity index) vis-à-vis conventional investments (namely, equity index, gold and commodities).

Design/methodology/approach
The authors examine the sample period 2007–2021 using the bivariate cross-quantilogram (CQG) analysis and a dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) experiment with several extensions.

Findings
The evidence shows that the analyzed ESG investments exhibit mainly diversifying features depending on the asset class taken as a reference, with some potential hedging/safe-haven qualities (for the green bond) in peculiar timespans. Therefore, the results suggest that investors might consider sustainable investing as a new measure of risk reduction, which has interesting implications for both portfolio allocation and policy design.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first that empirically investigates at once the dependence between different ESG investments (i.e. equity and green bond) with different conventional investments such as gold, equity and commodity market indices over a large sample period (2007–2021). Well-suited methodologies like the bivariate CQG and the DCC multivariate GARCH are used to capture the spillover effect and the hedging/diversifying nature, even in temporary contexts. Finally, a global perspective is used.
Contested informality in regional institutional design: A comparative analysis of ASEAN and the Quad
Authors: Cooper Andrew F. , Cannon Brendon J. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn terms of institutional positioning, the quartet of Indo‐Pacific states – Australia, India, Japan, and the United States – firmly endorse ASEAN. ‘ASEAN centrality’ is clearly highlighted in all Quad statements. Yet, the Quad presents an organizational and substantive challenge to the core institutional model of ASEAN. This competitive dynamic, with respect to style of associational methods (the how) as opposed to organizational purpose (the why), has not received the scholarly attention it deserves. If the literature does focus on the comparative approaches of ASEAN and the Quad, the prism is for the most part targeted on the differences with respect to the engagement with China. Our analysis is different and emphasizes the contrast between two types of institutional informality exhibited by ASEAN and the Quad. By situating our analysis in the context of contested informality, we point out that both ASEAN and the Quad are signposts showing that the foundational privilege of formal international organizations is under stress, albeit from a wide range of institutional designs. Only by detailing and evaluating the critical divergence in modes of informality can an appreciation of the nature and impact of the contest between ASEAN and the Quad be fully understood.
Real‐world hepatitis C prevalence and treatment uptake at opioid agonist therapy clinics in Ontario, Canada

Published: February 2024

AbstractWidespread screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is necessary for Canada to meet its HCV elimination goals by 2030. People who currently or previously injected drugs are at high risk for HCV. Opioid agonist therapy (OAT, such as methadone and buprenorphine) has been shown to help stabilize the lives of people who are opioid‐dependent. The distribution of OAT in North America typically requires daily, weekly, or monthly clinic visits and presents an opportunity for engagement, screening and treatment for those at high‐risk of HCV. In this study, HCV screening was conducted by staff at OAT clinics in Ontario from 2016 to 2020 and those with chronic infections were treated on‐site with direct‐acting antivirals. Point‐of‐care or dried blood spot (DBS) testing was used for antibodies, DBS or serum for HCV RNA and serum for HCV RNA at SVR12 (sustained virological response). Clinics screened 1954 people (mean age 40 years ±12, 63% male). Forty‐five percent were antibody positive, of whom 64% were HCV RNA+. Eighty percent of those RNA+ set an appointment in which 99% attended. Ninety‐six percent started treatment with 87% completing treatment. Sixty‐eight percent of people who completed treatment submitted a sample for SVR12 testing of which 97% achieved a virological cure. Results suggest that HCV screening and treatment at OAT clinics is feasible, effective and warrants expansion. Data suggest strong treatment adherence due to high rates of SVR12 comparable with other OAT‐based HCV treatment programs. The lack of SVR12 sampling could be addressed by either on‐site phlebotomy or incentivizing SVR12 sampling.
A rapid simplified method for determining tsunami inundation extent based on energy conservation
Authors: Kimpton Tate , Higuera Pablo , Whittaker Colin , Wotherspoon Liam , Zorn Conrad 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper develops a tsunami inundation model, filling the current void between industry applied simplified methods (bathtub and attenuation) and comprehensive numerical modeling. The proposed model utilizes two‐dimensional equations established on hydraulic principles (energy conservation and friction loss) to produce the finite‐difference, two‐dimensional model. While the sophistication of depth‐averaged numerical modeling has not been entirely replicated, the incorporation of hydraulic roughness and gravitational effects (slope) through the Bernoulli energy equation, accompanied by suitable assumptions, significantly improves performance over simplified bathtub and attenuation methods. This improvement not only retains excellent efficiency (completing case studies in under 100 s) but also yields inundation results comparable to traditional numerical modeling, which typically takes multiple hours to days. This is the first application of such equations to a two‐dimensional tsunami inundation model, leading to simulations at Gisborne and Christchurch, New Zealand, for validation against the numerical model, COMCOT. F1 scores produced from inundation extent comparisons were upwards of 84%. Inundation depth discrepancies recorded 77% within a 1 m range, while over 93% within a 2 m range.
The Variational Principle of a Rotor Passage Shock in the Circumferential Average Through Flow Inverse Problem of the Axial Compressors and Applications
Authors: Luo Tianyi , Shan Peng , Yang Xiaohe 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper advances the study of the shock phenomena in axial flow compressors to that of the behavior and effects of the rotor passage shock. Based on the design results of the S2m streamline curvature through flow inverse problem and blading of the axial flow compressors, taking the relative supersonic streamlines of the rotor as equivalent to a group of layers of the quasi-one-dimensional duct flow, this paper deduced a variational principle of the normal passage shock, interrupting the flow actually, stationed inside each layer of the rotor passage. It is found that the factors affecting the stationarity of the rotor passage shock include the variable cross-sectional area, the frictional and other on way losses, and the variable rotational radius of the duct flow. According to the variational principle, the stationary locations of the shock in these equivalent duct flows affected by three factors are obtained by the momentum relaxation method, and the location stability of these shocks is analyzed. In the applications to various types of transonic axial compressor rotors, first, the discontinuous entropy generation loss distributions along the cascades of each supersonic layer are set, to consider the boundary layer, oblique shock, normal passage shock, shock boundary layer interference, and trail edge losses. Second, applying the variational principle to the duct flows affected by these three factors for each streamline, all the shock locations that possess location stability are detected. Third, by comparing with the flow field results of the direct problem of Computational Fluid Dynamics, the dimensionless distribution law of the real entropy generation loss along the layer cascades is decided. Finally, by combining the shock lines from each equivalent duct flow corresponding to each streamline, a curved surface structure of the normal passage shock in a rotor passage is established. In the given design examples of three kinds of axial compressor stages, the three-dimensional structures of the normal passage shock obtained by this method are consistently in good agreement with the results of the direct problem of Computational Fluid Dynamics. These afford a first-term verification to this method for its effectiveness and wide applicability. This method provides a theory and a technology, in the through flow and blading inverse problem design phase of an axial compressor, to quickly predict the location and the curved surface shape of the normal passage shock, and to characterize approximately and evaluate relatively whether the design surge margin of a transonic stage is sufficient.
Semiquantitative 18F-FDG PET/CT in monitoring glucocorticoid response of immunoglobulin G4-related effusive constrictive pericarditis: a case report
Authors: An Soo Yeon , Sun Byung Joo 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related effusive constrictive pericarditis (ECP) is a rare manifestation of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). It can lead to persistent pericardial fibrosis, resulting in cardiac tamponade, diastolic dysfunction, and heart failure. Glucocorticoids are the primary treatment for effectively reducing inflammation and preventing fibrosis. However, guidelines for monitoring treatment response are lacking and tapering glucocorticoid therapy for specific target organs remains a challenge. Recent studies on IgG4-RD have demonstrated that semiquantitative measurements of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake in the main involved organs in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning are correlated to disease activity. We present a case of IgG4-related ECP to demonstrate the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/CT for diagnosing and treatment follow-up of IgG4-related ECP.

Case presentation
Herein, a 66-year-old woman diagnosed with IgG4-related ECP presented with breathlessness, leg swelling, rales, and fever. Laboratory tests revealed markedly elevated levels of C-reactive protein, and transthoracic echocardiography revealed constrictive physiology with effusion. High IgG4 levels suggested an immune-related pathogenesis, while viral and malignant causes were excluded. Subsequent pericardial biopsy revealed lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration in the pericardium, confirming the diagnosis of IgG4-related ECP. 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed increased uptake of 18F-FDG in the pericardium, indicating isolated cardiac involvement of IgG4-RD. Treatment with prednisolone and colchicine led to a rapid improvement in the patient’s condition within a few weeks. Follow-up imaging with 18F-FDG PET/CT after 3 months revealed reduced inflammation and improved constrictive physiology on echocardiography, leading to successful tapering of the prednisolone dose and discontinuation of colchicine.

Conclusion
The rarity of IgG4-related ECP and possibility of multiorgan involvement in IgG4-RD necessitates a comprehensive diagnostic approach and personalized management. This case report highlights the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment follow-up of isolated pericardial involvement in IgG4-RD.
