Left‐digit bias in property taxes
Authors: Lomonosov Dena 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article investigates whether homebuyers display a form of cognitive bias called left digit bias when it comes to future property taxes. Using a regression discontinuity method, and under both hedonic and repeat‐sales estimations, homes with property tax obligations that are just under a $1000 threshold are shown to sell for 0.5% more than other equivalent homes. This type of cognitive error results in an average overpayment of $1650. Results are larger for single‐family homes. Neither market conditions nor property tax growth rates change the left‐digit bias estimates. There is also evidence of additional left‐digit bias with respect to the assessed value.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe growing environmental pressure of the animal food chain requires a system shift toward more sustainable diets based on alternative protein sources. Emerging alternative protein sources, such as faba bean, mung bean, lentil, black gram, cowpea, quinoa, hemp, leaf proteins, microalgae, and duckweeds, are being explored for their potential in meeting global protein demand and were, therefore, the subject of this review. This systematic literature review aims to understand the current knowledge on the toxicological effects and allergenic potential associated with these sources and derived protein and food products. The findings identified potential concerns associated with the presence of plant secondary metabolites, including antinutritional factors, phytoestrogens, and oligosaccharides, in all the sources included. Also, these protein sources have been shown to display allergenic properties, either through the intrinsic presence of allergens or through cross‐reaction. Further, the effects of food processing on these proteins remain poorly understood and no conclusive data are available to quantitatively assess their safety after processing. Overall, those findings highlight the need for quantitative knowledge of the food safety attributes related to final food products. This will enable a concrete and preventive approach to food safety in the protein transition.
Impact of Leader Mindfulness in Communication on Team Job Crafting: Roles of Team Resilience and Team Open‐Mindedness
Authors: Wang Yongyue , Yue Fengkai , Zhang Fanying 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWe developed a moderated mediation model to demonstrate how leader mindfulness in communication influences team job crafting through team resilience, a process contingent on team open‐mindedness. To test our model, we surveyed 423 members from 65 teams in Study 1 and 540 members from 113 teams in Study 2. The results showed that leader mindfulness in communication was positively related to team job crafting via team resilience; this mediating effect was stronger when team open‐mindedness was higher. Our study advances research on team job crafting in two ways. First, it identifies leader mindfulness in communication as an important antecedent of team job crafting, which helps broaden the current understanding of leadership. Second, by examining the roles of team resilience and open‐mindedness, this study advances the understanding of why and when leader mindfulness in communication is related to team job crafting.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundIn Chinese intervention studies, the lack of specific self‐care scales based on the functional characteristics of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has caused patients and researchers to spend a great deal of time completing multiple related scales during the research work. Therefore, the arthritis Self‐Care Behaviors Scale (SCBS) was developed to evaluate the self‐care behavior of patients with arthritis.ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were to translate the SCBS into Chinese and test its psychometric properties in Chinese patients with RA.MethodsThe SCBS (English version) was translated to Chinese using Brislin's forward and backward translation method. A total of 414 adults with RA completed the Chinese version of the SCBS. Item analysis, content validity, construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and test–retest reliability were used to test its psychometric properties.ResultsItem analysis showed that the SCBS (Chinese version) has good discrimination and consistency. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.873 of the content validity index (CVI). Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated a five‐factor solution, which is different from the traditional one. The results of the five common factor models indicated that the revised Chinese version of SCBS had good construct validity. The test–retest coefficient was 0.82, supporting adequate reliability.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the SCBS is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate RA patients' self‐care behavior in China. However, further research into different economic levels, education levels, and age groups would broaden the scope of the Chinese version of the SCBS.
Food manufacturers’ compliance with the FDA's trans fat ban: Evidence from scanner data

Published: January 2025

AbstractWe use barcode‐level data in the US between 2012 and 2020 to document the evolution of trans fat content in manufactured food products before and after the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2015 determination that trans fats are not safe for human consumption (effectively a “trans fat ban”). First, we document how the number of products containing trans fat has declined over time. Second, using detailed information on household food purchases in retail stores, we quantify the corresponding reduction in total trans fat purchases. We find that although the number of trans fat products on the market has declined over time, products with a positive trans fat content continued to exist beyond the FDA's deadline for trans fat removal. We find a larger presence of trans fat products in small‐scale retailers (Dollar and Convenience stores) than in larger outlets (mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs). Similarly, trans fat products are relatively more prevalent in private label products and in products with a local presence. While trans fat purchases have declined over time, lower income households purchase product baskets with significantly larger amounts of trans fat. The findings can be used to guide more effective and efficient enforcement efforts.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTSymbiotic interactions between oxpeckers (Buphagus spp.) and African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) are influenced by both host characteristics and ectoparasite load. This study investigates how individual traits, such as body size, age and tick load, impact oxpecker foraging decisions. To investigate what impacts whether or not oxpeckers choose to forage on a buffalo, we used candidate generalised linear models. Our results show that oxpeckers preferentially select larger buffalo with higher‐than‐expected tick loads, particularly in the perianal region. These findings highlight the role of host size and parasite abundance in shaping oxpecker foraging behaviour within the savannah ecosystem.

ABSTRACTThis study evaluated carcass weight and physicochemical properties of loin and leg meat parts of Saanen castrated goats (n = 4) reared by grazing for 5 months in an abandoned rice field with concentrate supplements, comparing with meat of goats (n = 4) reared by confined feeding with grass silage and concentrate. Carcass and meat part weights of goats in the grazing group were lower (p < 0.01) than confined group. Shear force and cooking loss of meat showed no differences between the feeding groups. For meat color, L* value of loin meat tended to be lower (p < 0.15) for the grazing group compared with the confined group. Moisture content tended to be higher, but fat content tended to be lower (p < 0.15) in loin meat for the grazing group. Carnosine and alanine contents in loin meat were higher (p < 0.05) for the grazing group. Polyunsaturated fatty acid composition in meat was higher (p < 0.05), whereas monounsaturated fatty acid composition was lower (p < 0.05) for the grazing group. Phytanic acid content in both meat parts showed higher value (p < 0.05) for the grazing group. These results indicate that goat meat produced by grazing system in an abandoned rice field contains beneficial compounds for human health.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundSudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is associated with abnormal changes in the brain's central nervous system. Previous studies on the brain networks of SSNHL have primarily focused on functional connectivity within the brain. However, in addition to functional connectivity, structural connectivity also plays a crucial role in brain networks. Moreover, traditional functional connectivity analyses often overlook the spatial and temporal characteristics of connectivity changes and fail to provide directional information and causal relationships.AimsThis study utilized Structural Covariance Network (SCN), multilayer network analysis, and Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) to investigate the cross‐scale changes in neural network structure and function in SSNHL patients with accompanying cognitive and emotional disorders.Materials & MethodsWe collected 3D‐T1 structural magnetic resonance image data and functional magnetic resonance image data from 70 SSNHL patients and 81 healthy controls (HCs). SCN analysis was performed based on gray matter volume, and multilayer network analysis was used to calculate node switching rates. Based on the results of multilayer network analysis, six nodes exhibiting significant inter‐group differences in node switching rates were selected as regions of interest (ROIs). DCM was then conducted to explore the causal relationships of functional connectivity between these nodes.ResultsBased on SCN, there were no significant inter‐group differences in global network properties between SSNHL and HCs. At the node level, the left precentral gyrus in SSNHL showed a significant decrease in node efficiency. In the multilayer network analysis, SSNHL showed a significantly increased node switching rate at the level of the Left Superior Frontal Gyrus (L.SFG), Left Supplementary Motor Area (L.SMA), Left Superior Parietal Gyrus (L.SPG), Right Superior Parietal Gyrus (R.SPG), Right Inferior Parietal Lobe(R.IPL), and Left Thalamus (L.THA). Furthermore, the node switching rate of L.SFG showed a significant negative correlation with the Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores. DCM analysis of these six nodes revealed differences in the functional effective connectivity between the left superior parietal gyrus (L.SPG) and the left supplementary motor area (L.SMA), which were positively correlated with the AVLT‐delay scores.DiscussionThese findings suggest that SSNHL patients experience structural and functional remodeling of the cerebral cortex, with hearing loss leading to the reallocation of cognitive resources.ConclusionThis provides new insights into understanding the potential mechanisms between cross‐scale networks and cognitive‐emotional disorders in SSNHL.

SummaryBackgroundRecurrent weight gain (RWG) is a major post‐operative challenge among metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients. Binge eating behaviours (BEB) and food addiction (FA) have been identified as significant predictors of post‐MBS RWG. However, limited research has investigated their independent associations with post‐MBS RWG.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study collected data via a self‐reported questionnaire of post‐MBS patient demographics and eating behaviours from a single‐site academic obesity medicine program. The Binge Eating Scale and Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 collected data on BEB and FA exposure variables, respectively. ANOVA/chi‐square tests determined bivariate associations with BEB and FA, while multivariable logistic regression models examined independent adjusted associations of BEB and FA with RWG% cut‐offs.ResultsOf the 294 MBS patients (90.48% female, and 51.71% non‐Hispanic white), 42.3% had BEB, 12.55% had severe FA, 7.36% moderate FA, and 7.36% mild FA. After adjustment, BEB was significantly associated with all magnitudes of post‐MBS RWG, with the highest odds observed at 50% RWG [OR = 3.07; 95% CI: 1.45, 6.49; p = 0.003]. FA was not significantly associated with post‐MBS RWG.ConclusionResults showed that BEB, but not FA, was associated with post‐MBS RWG. MBS patient support teams should consider screening for BEB at post‐MBS visits.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTMaintaining ecological connectivity is crucial for biodiversity, yet effectively managing interconnected areas through actor collaboration is challenging. This study examines collaboration through social–ecological fit in interconnected aquatic “blue” and terrestrial “green” areas, encompassing natural and semi‐natural elements, in human‐dominated landscapes. Combining species distribution models and connectivity analyses focused on declining amphibians and survey data on actors’ area management and collaboration within interconnected areas, we create a spatially explicit social–ecological network that we analyze using network models. Results highlight diverse ecological dependencies shaping actor interactions. Strong collaboration is observed in interconnected blue‐rural‐green areas, whereas blue‐urban‐green areas lack collaboration, with minor rivers and urban‐green spaces at the network's core plagued by social–ecological misfit. Strengthening collaboration in these areas is essential to prevent further ecological network degradation. Incorporating a spatially explicit social–ecological perspective covering diverse blue and green areas guides targeted interventions and fosters effective conservation policy and practice.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis study was conducted to further understand the clinical characteristics of COVID‐19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA).MethodsIn this study, we conducted a multicenter retrospective survey, which included patients with COVID‐19 from five hospitals in Zhejiang, China. A total of 197 patients with COVID‐19 were included in the study. The detailed clinical data of seven patients with CAPA from COVID‐19 onset to 28 days after CAPA were collected and analyzed.ResultsIn the total of 197 patients, 36 were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), 13 received mechanical ventilation; among them, nine received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). All seven cases acquired CAPA in the ICU, six cases during MV, of which five cases received ECMO treatment at the same time, and one case had been off ventilation. The average duration from onset of COVID‐19 to CAPA was 25.4 days, from ICU admission to CAPA was 23.4 days, and from MV to CAPA was 22.1 days. All seven patients were diagnosed with CAPA without neutropenia, four with lymphopenia, seven with decreased CD4+ T lymphocyte, and five with decreased CD8+ T lymphocyte. All cases received glucocorticoids before CAPA, with an average duration of 15 days and an average cumulative dose of 762.5 mg prednisolone. In addition, all patients suffered bacterial infections and received antibacterial agents before CAPA, with an average duration of 22.6 days. CAPA was diagnosed according to a positive culture of Aspergillus fumigatus in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and positive serum 1,3‐β‐d‐glucan in all seven patients; serum galactomannan was positive in three cases. Rhizopus was cultured from BALF of one case during treatment of CAPA. All patients received antifungal therapy, and the 28‐day survival rate was 100%.ConclusionThe incidence of CAPA in patients with COVID‐19 admitted to the ICU was 19.44%, all patients with CAPA had a history of chronic underlying diseases, and all had a history of high dose glucocorticoid. Patients with CAPA had no specific clinical symptoms and lung imaging manifestations, and diagnosis depended on Aspergillus culture and galactomannan detection. For patients with COVID‐19 with these high‐risk factors, Aspergillus culture and GM testing should be performed actively to avoid delaying the diagnosis of CAPA.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors for children with xeroderma pigmentosum and advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: A case presentation and brief review
Authors: Gambichler Thilo , Hyun Julia , Oellig Frank , Becker Jürgen C. , Kreuter Alexander 
Published: January 2025

SummaryPatients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) frequently develop skin cancers early in life, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The median age of death is 32 years and 60% of XP patients die before the age of 20 years. cSCC in patients with XP exhibits an exceptionally high mutation burden, suggesting a favorable response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We present the case of a 7‐year‐old boy with XP and a large facial cSCC complicated by cervical lymph node metastases. Following a tumor board recommendation, systemic immunotherapy with cemiplimab was initiated. Following therapy, the tumors rapidly and completely regressed. To date, only 10 XP patients worldwide have been reported to receive ICIs for inoperable and/or advanced cSCC, with all cases demonstrating tumor regression under ICI treatment. Among these, three were pediatric cases with XP‐C (one 7‐year‐old and two 6‐year‐old children), one of whom had sarcomatoid cSCC. Incidence and nature of adverse events in XP patients were comparable to those observed in the general population. In line with the previously reported ICI‐treated XP children, the present case confirms that anti‐PD‐1 inhibitors are highly effective in children with XP and advanced cSCC.
Primary School Students' Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence: Metaphor and Drawing Analysis
Authors: Kalemkuş Jale , Kalemkuş Fatih 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTDue to the frequent use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in daily life, it is thought that primary school students acquire information about this concept from various sources. The way these sources present AI may affect students' perceptions of AI. In the study, it was aimed to examine the perceptions of third and fourth grade primary school students about AI through metaphors and drawings. This research, which was conducted with the participation of 262 students, was conducted with the phenomenological design. When the metaphors of the participants were analysed, it was determined that they produced 100 metaphors, and these metaphors were evaluated in 17 categories as humanistic feature, information source, danger, development, superhuman feature, service, source of happiness, productivity, orientation, commitment, pervasiveness, necessity, security, speed, difficulty, virtual environment and uncertainty. Accordingly, it was determined that the participants evaluated AI from many different perspectives and produced the most metaphors in the categories of humanistic feature, information source and danger. It was determined that the metaphors human, brain and living were prominent in the human characteristic category; the metaphors teacher, wise and book were prominent in the source of information category; and finally, the metaphors enemy, weapon and monster were prominent in the danger category. When the drawing findings were analysed, it was determined that 37 codes represented four categories: purpose, object, interaction and environment. In the purpose category, service, source of information, and source of happiness; in the object category, mostly humanoid robot; in the interaction category, emphasising interaction; and in the environment category, the environment was not specified. In line with the findings obtained, literature discussions were made and suggestions were made.
Towards an Ideal Model of Education for Critical Citizenship. An Analysis of the Spanish Curricular Change in Social Sciences

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn this study, we analysed the presence of citizenship education in the new Spanish social sciences curriculum, focusing on both the primary and secondary education stages. The relevance of the study stems from the need to adapt to a new reality, in which it is crucial to develop in children and young people the skills to understand, interpret and make critical decisions. Considering the model outlined as ideal, and being aware of the difficulty involved in achieving it, we took as a reference a possible model to analyse the Spanish curriculum, the ICCS study framework. The research presented is based on a review of policy documents and analyses the curricula of compulsory education stages through a content analysis technique. The results show that in the Spanish curriculum, under the logic of the ICCS framework, cognitive skills and citizen content are more prevalent than those based on attitudes and engagement. This issue prompts us to reflect on the future changes that should be made to approach the model we consider relevant.
The Faith of Nicaea, the Hierarchy of Truths, and the Restoration of Eucharistic Communion between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches
Authors: Gavrilyuk Paul L. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe paper discusses the problem of Orthodox‐Catholic disunity by naming non‐theological and discussing theological issues behind the issues in bilateral dialogues between the Churches. The main theological issue is the absence of agreement on which doctrinal differences should or should not count as church‐dividing. The author argues that the concept of the ‘hierarchy of truths’, introduced by Vatican II's Unitatis Redintegratio is a promising heuristic tool for distinguishing the doctrines that pertain to the ‘fundamental Christian faith’ and other important doctrines that do not have the same authoritative status. The author proposes that the agreement on the ‘Nicene faith’ could function as a sufficient condition for the Eucharistic communion between the two Churches on two grounds of the use of the Creed in the rites of initiation and the liturgy. The author subsequently articulates three potential objections to his proposal, responds to these objections, and finishes the paper with what could be called a ‘Nicene Formula of Reunion’. The proposed Formula includes a commitment to seeking an increasingly greater convergence on doctrinal and ecclesiastical issues on which there is continuing, although not church‐dividing disagreement.
