Trans-functional green wall’s developed predesign model as a first stage to designers to understand the design and potential performance aspects of green walls
Authors: Refaat Tamer , El-Zoklah Marwa 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis study aims to formulate a user-friendly pre-design model that could be a decision support tool for green wall systems to assist designers in selecting an optimal green wall system aligned with specified performance criteria while concurrently addressing project requirements linked to social and economic parameters. This approach seeks to enhance overall project satisfaction for the designer and the owner.Design/methodology/approachA correlation between the green wall context and design requirements and its performance on the buildings have been defined by considering its social and economic parameters, which represented the owner preferences to ensure the most satisfaction from installation as it achieves the required performance that is defined by the designer such as maximizing thermal insulation, improving indoor air quality, reducing the needed heating and cooling loads, etc. and also to achieve the satisfaction in social and economic requirements defined by the owner such as system installation cost, system maintenance cost, adding beauty value, etc.FindingsThe research developed an easy pre-design model to be a tool for green wall system decision-making for the most suitable system, which contains three main steps: the first one is defining the required performance of the green wall (designer requirements), the second step is limiting the context of the project which is made by designer and the owner requirements and finally the third step is choosing the system components that ensures achieving the requirements of both owners and designer, related to the building and climate context.Originality/valueThe added value lies in developing a green wall decision-making tool, essentially a pre-design model. This model considers the correlation between the project’s context, encompassing climate and building conditions. It provides a structured approach for decision-making in the early stages of green wall design. It offers valuable insights into the optimal choices related to system type, installation methods and plant characteristics. This enhanced decision-making tool contributes to more informed and efficient design processes, considering each project’s specific needs and conditions.
Effect of isobornyl acrylate and hexanediol diacrylate on the properties of UV-curable resin developed from suberic acid-derived polyester polyol
Authors: Mahajan Umesh , Mhaske S.T. 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This study aims to focus on how reactive diluents with mono- and di-functionalities affect the properties of resin formulation developed from bioderived precursors. A hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) terminated urethane acrylate oligomer was synthesized and characterized to study its application in stereolithography 3D printing with different ratios of isobornyl acrylate and hexanediol diacrylate.

Design/methodology/approach
Polyester polyol was synthesized from suberic acid and butanediol. Additionally, isophorone diisocyanate, polyester polyol and HEMA were used to create urethane acrylate oligomer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H NMR were used to characterize the polyester polyol and oligomer. Various formulations were created by combining oligomer with reactive diluents in concentrations ranging from 0% to 30% by weight and curing with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The cured coatings and 3D printed specimens were then evaluated for their properties.

Findings
The findings revealed an improvement in thermal stability, contact angle value, tensile strength and surface properties of the product which indicated its suitability for use as a 3D printing material.

Originality/value
This study discusses how oligomers that have been cured by UV radiation with mono- and difunctional reactive diluents give excellent coating characteristics and demonstrate suitability and stability for 3D printing applications.
Environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives and green customer citizenship behavior in tourism industry: the mediating roles of green trust, customer-company identification and green corporate image
Authors: Waris Idrees , Suki Norazah Mohd , Ahmed Adeel , Barkat Waseem 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
Environmental issues have triggered the need for sustainable behavior around the globe. The tourism industry’s rapid growth also contributes to environmental degradation through natural resource depletion and excess water and energy utilization. Based on social identity theory, this study aims to assess the impact of environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives on green customers’ citizenship behavior. Furthermore, the study assesses the mediating effects of green trust, customer–company identification and green image.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is a quantitative approach, and purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data from the hotels’ customers from northern areas of Pakistan. This study used partial least square-structural equation modeling to analyze the data of 426 customers.

Findings
The study’s findings show that environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives significantly impact green customers’ citizenship behavior, green trust, customer–company identification and green corporate image. However, the relationship between green corporate image and green customers’ citizenship behavior was insignificant. Furthermore, the study’s results revealed that green trust and customer–company identification partially mediate between environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives and green customers’ citizenship behavior.

Practical implications
The findings suggest that hotels’ environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives improve green customer citizenship behavior, green trust and enhance customer–company identification. Therefore, hotel industry managers should consider reinforcing existing environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives and make further efforts to highlight the importance of such initiatives for environmental sustainability, which ultimately affects customers’ green customer citizenship behavior.

Originality/value
This research developed a novel framework to understand green customers’ citizenship behavior in the tourism industry. It extended the literature on environmental corporate social responsibility initiatives and green customers’ citizenship behavior. In addition, the research adds value by confirming the significant direct and mediating role of customer–company identification in tourism industry context.
Improvement of SAC0307/Cu column friction plunge micro-welding quality by static constraint
Authors: Li Zhenkun , Zhao Zhili , Liu Jinliang , Ding Xin 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
To solve the problems caused by using precise molds for copper column positioning in the current column grid array package, this paper aims to optimize the proposed friction plunge micro-welding (FPMW) technology without mold assistance, to overcome the problems of low interfacial bonding strength, shrinkage cavities and flash defects caused by the low hold-tight force of solder on the copper column.

Design/methodology/approach
A pressurizing device installed under the drill chuck of the friction welding machine is designed, which is used to apply a static constraint to the solder ball obliquely downward to increase the hold-tight force of the peripheral solder on the copper column during welding and promote the friction metallurgical connection between them.

Findings
The results show that the application of static constraint during welding can increase the compactness of the solder near the friction interface and effectively inhibit occurrences of flash, shrinkage cavities and crystal defects such as vacancies. Therefore, compared with the unconstrained (UC) FPMW, the average strength of the statically constrained (SC) FPMW joints and aged SC-FPMW joints can be increased by 51.1% and 122.6%, and the problem of the excessive growth of the interfacial connection layer in the UC-FPMW joints during aging can be effectively avoided.

Originality/value
The application of static constraint effectively inhibits the occurrence of defects such as shrinkage cavities, vacancies and flash in FPMW joints, and the welding quality is significantly improved.

Authors: Saleem Sardar Fawad , Khan Muhammad Azam , Tariq Muhammad 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article examines the impact of government effectiveness (GE) and technological innovation on economic growth and environmental degradation in Middle East & North Africa countries. The study utilizes panel data from the period of 2002–2020. The findings indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between innovation (INV) and CO2 emissions (0.0244), while GE has a significant and negative impact on CO2 emissions (−0.5753). In a similar vein, it can be observed that both INV and government efficacy exert a substantial and favorable influence on the process of economic growth (0.0353 and 0.0773). Furthermore, the interaction of INV and GE showed a noteworthy moderating effect on CO2 emissions (−0.1581). Conversely, it exhibited a more pronounced positive influence on economic growth (0.1122). The study highlights that synergizing INV with GE is essential for attaining sustainable economic growth in the studied area.
A study of DNA transfers onto plastic packets placed in personal bags

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe ability to detect low level DNA brings with it the uncertainty of whether the detected DNA is a result of transfer. To address this uncertainty, a simulation study was conducted in which a mock illicit drug packet was placed into the personal bags of individuals. When the average transit time of the packets was increased from around 2 h to more than 14 h, the percentage of the DNA profiles recovered from the packets which could be attributed to the individuals increased greatly from 5.3% to 48.6%. We found that drug packers who were poor shedders could not be included as contributors to the DNA profiles from the drug packets at all and there was a higher chance that individuals other than themselves could be included as contributors to the DNA profile recovered from drug packets. We also found that it was equally likely that the drug packers who had direct contact with the drug packets and bag owners who did not, could be included as contributors to the DNA profiles recovered from the packets. The results in this study highlight the importance of taking into consideration the transit time of drug packet, the shedder status of the alleged packer and the history of an item, when evaluating DNA evidence in the context of illicit drug activities.
Aligned or non‐aligned: South Africa's response to the war in Ukraine
Authors: Brosig Malte 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis contribution explores South Africa's position in the war in Ukraine. As a major African player, member of BRICS, the G20, and frequent UN Security Council member, the country is a globally engaged and regionally leading actor. Since the beginning of the conflict, South Africa has declared itself as non‐aligned; however, its close political relations with Russia and disinclination to condemn the invasion have raised the issue of whether the country is only declaratory neutral. Although South Africa is only indirectly affected by the war, it was chiefly involved in the first major peace initiative spearheaded by a select group of African countries. This contribution traces South Africa's official state response to the war, exploring its narrative of the conflict and is interrogating its version of non‐alignment in the context of a transitioning world order.
Explaining the source of racial disparities in market facilitation program payments
Authors: Hendricks Nathan P. , Murphy Ashling M. , Morgan Stephen N. , Padilla Samantha L. , Key Nigel 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper provides new insights on the distribution of agricultural government payments by farm operator race and the sources of disparities. We use farm‐level data from the Census of Agriculture to estimate the payments each farm was eligible to receive from the 2018 and 2019 Market Facilitation Program. We find that farms with a White operator were eligible to receive significantly more payments than farms with a non‐White operator. Most of the disparity for farms with a Black operator is due to differences in average farm size, because there are few large farms with a Black operator. The disparities for farms with an American Indian, Asian, or Pacific Islander operator were roughly half due to farm size and half due to the location of these farms and the types of commodities they tend to produce.
The people think what I think: False consensus and unelected elite misperception of public opinion
Authors: Furnas Alexander C. , LaPira Timothy M. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractPolitical elites must know and rely faithfully on the public will to be democratically responsive. Recent work on elite perceptions of public opinion shows that reelection‐motivated politicians systematically misperceive the opinions of their constituents to be more conservative than they are. We extend this work to a larger and broader set of unelected political elites such as lobbyists, civil servants, journalists, and the like, and report alternative empirical findings. These unelected elites hold similarly inaccurate perceptions about public opinion, though not in a single ideological direction. We find this elite population exhibits egocentrism bias, rather than partisan confirmation bias, as their perceptions about others' opinions systematically correspond to their own policy preferences. Thus, we document a remarkably consistent false consensus effect among unelected political elites, which holds across subsamples by party, occupation, professional relevance of party affiliation, and trust in party‐aligned information sources.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundExtreme ambient temperature has been linked to decline in males’ semen quality. Although the temperature–semen quality association has been examined in certain cities of South China, how the effect size of the extreme temperature may lag over critical windows in spermatogenesis and whether the strength of association may vary in North China have yet been adequately explored.ObjectivesTo quantify the association between air temperature and semen quality, and identify critical exposure windows in a Northern Peninsular Province, China.Materials and methodsData on semen quality in 2014−2019 were collected from the Human Sperm Bank of Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University, China. Daily meteorological data (0.01°×0.01°) were assigned to each subject's residential address. The linear mixed‐effect model combined with the distributed lag nonlinear model was used to estimate the effect of ambient temperature over critical spermatogenesis windows.ResultsThe temperature–semen quality association was inverted V‐shaped, with the maximum lag being 0–45 days before ejaculation and the threshold being 9.2°C. Progressively and total motile sperm number, and total sperm number declined more substantially than other semen quality parameters. Semen quality was more sensitive to cold exposure during the epididymal storage period than the sperm motility development period. By contrast, semen quality was insensitive to heat exposure during both critical spermatogenesis windows. Impairment of certain semen quality parameters was more obvious for males with higher educational attainment and those aged over 35 years.Discussion and conclusionExposure to non‐optimal temperature is associated with decreased semen quality in North China, with the epididymal storage and sperm motility development periods more sensitive to cold exposure than heat. Older males and those with higher educations may need particular awareness.
The ecological drivers of variation in pectoral girdle anatomy in frogs
Authors: Soliz Mónica Carina , Abdala Virginia , Tulli María José 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn this ecomorphological study, we investigate how the ventral pectoral girdle morphology of anurans correlates with their locomotor modes, habitat preferences, and phylogenetic relationships. We analysed 18 morphometric variables of the pectoral girdle's ventral region across 19 anuran species, encompassing diverse locomotion modes (jumping, hopping, walking, and swimming) and habitats (arboreal, bushy, terrestrial, and aquatic). Our findings, predominantly explained by the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model, reveal evolutionary adaptations in pectoral girdle morphology driven by habitat‐specific demands. Notably, bushy and walker‐jumper species exhibit large clavicles, coracoids, and sternums, along with a broad medial pectoral girdle and bigger epicoracoid. Terrestrial and arboreal‐ jumpers have a larger omosternum area compared to predominantly swimming species. Arboreal walkers show shorter epicoracoid horns and narrower coracoids. Interestingly, bushy and terrestrial species have a higher proportion of bone tissue in their pectoral girdles. This indicates a potential adaptation to support the additional to adaptation to participate in shock absorption. The patterns recovered underscore the intricate relationship between anatomical evolution and environmental adaptation in anurans.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundTo prevent the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2, hospitals around the world adopted protocols that, in varying ways, resulted in the exclusion of partners from hospital postnatal care wards. The objective of this study was to examine the effect this exclusion had on partners' satisfaction with postnatal care.MethodsAn online survey (the Swedish Pregnancy Panel) including free‐text comments was conducted before and during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic; partners of pregnant women were recruited at an early ultrasound appointment and followed until 2 months after childbirth. Data were linked to the Swedish Pregnancy Register.ResultsThe survey was completed by 524 partners of women who gave birth during the pandemic and 203 partners of women who gave birth before. Partners' satisfaction with hospital postnatal care dropped 29.8 percent (−0.94 OLS, 95% CI = −1.17 to −0.72). The drop was largest for partners of first‐time mothers (−1.40 OLS, 95% CI = −1.69 to −1.11), but unrelated to clinical outcomes such as mode of birth and most social backgrounds, except higher income. The qualitative analysis showed that partners (1) felt excluded as partners and parents, (2) thought the strain on staff led to deficiencies in the care provided, and (3) perceived the decision about partner restrictions as illogical.ConclusionsThe exclusion of partners from the hospital postnatal wards clearly impaired satisfaction with care, and partners of first‐time mothers were particularly affected. Planning for future restrictions on partners from hospital wards should factor in these consequences.
A transdisciplinary view on curiosity beyond linguistic humans: animals, infants, and artificial intelligence
Authors: Forss Sofia , Ciria Alejandra , Clark Fay , Galusca Cristina‐loana , Harrison David , Lee Saein 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTCuriosity is a core driver for life‐long learning, problem‐solving and decision‐making. In a broad sense, curiosity is defined as the intrinsically motivated acquisition of novel information. Despite a decades‐long history of curiosity research and the earliest human theories arising from studies of laboratory rodents, curiosity has mainly been considered in two camps: ‘linguistic human’ and ‘other’. This is despite psychology being heritable, and there are many continuities in cognitive capacities across the animal kingdom. Boundary‐pushing cross‐disciplinary debates on curiosity are lacking, and the relative exclusion of pre‐linguistic infants and non‐human animals has led to a scientific impasse which more broadly impedes the development of artificially intelligent systems modelled on curiosity in natural agents. In this review, we synthesize literature across multiple disciplines that have studied curiosity in non‐verbal systems. By highlighting how similar findings have been produced across the separate disciplines of animal behaviour, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and computational cognition, we discuss how this can be used to advance our understanding of curiosity. We propose, for the first time, how features of curiosity could be quantified and therefore studied more operationally across systems: across different species, developmental stages, and natural or artificial agents.
Interparental conflict dimensions and children's psychological problems: Emotion recognition as a mediator
Authors: Davies Patrick T. , Colton Kassidy C. , Schmitz Carson , Gibb Brandon E. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study tested children's emotion recognition as a mediator of associations between their exposure to hostile and cooperative interparental conflict and their internalizing and externalizing symptoms. From 2018 to 2022, 238 mothers, their partners, and preschool children (Mage = 4.38, 52% female; 68% White; 18% Black; 14% Multiracial or another race; and 16% Latinx) participated in three annual measurement occasions. Path analyses indicated that Wave 1 observations of hostile interparental conflict predicted residualized increases in children's emotion recognition accuracy (i.e., angry, sad, and happy) at Wave 2 (β = .27). Wave 2 emotion recognition, in turn, predicted residualized decreases in children's internalizing symptoms at Wave 3 (β = −.22). Mediational findings were partly attributable to children's accuracy in identifying angry and high‐intensity expressions.
