A comprehensive analysis of the societal impact of industrial diversity on sustainable economic development
Authors: Zhong Litao , Wen Lei , Wang Zhimin 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the interplay between industrial diversity and sustainable economic development in US counties.

Design/methodology/approach
Among other popularly used measures, this study uses an underused measure, Hachman index, to gauge the degree of industrial diversity in the models. To capture the impact of industrial diversity on the local community, this study estimates the relationship of two diversity measures to four traditional socioeconomic indicators: per capita personal income growth, gross domestic product per worker, income inequality ratio and poverty rate.

Findings
Statistical results suggest that industrial diversity, which is measured by Hachman index, is significantly related to the four socio-economic indicators. Industrial diversity can positively contribute to regional per capita personal income growth and mitigate income inequality and poverty stress; however, it is negatively related to the gross domestic product (GDP) per worker, which means industrial specialization may contribute to GDP per worker growth.

Originality/value
The findings of this study show that there is a nonlinear relationship between industrial diversity and all socioeconomic indicators. Most of the control variables, human capital variables and business and industry profile variables also display significant and positive impacts on economic development.
“Really being yourself”? Racial minority entrepreneurs navigating othering and authenticity through identity work
Authors: van Merriënboer Maud , Verver Michiel , Radu-Lefebvre Miruna 
Published: October 2023

PurposeDrawing on an intersectional perspective on racial, migrant and entrepreneurial identities, this paper investigates the identity work of racial minority entrepreneurs with native-born and migrant backgrounds, confronted to experiences of othering in a White entrepreneurial ecosystem.Design/methodology/approachThe study takes a qualitative-interpretivist approach and builds on six cases of racial minority entrepreneurs in nascent stages of venture development within the Dutch technology sector. The dataset comprises 24 in-depth interviews conducted over the course of one and a half year, extensive case descriptions and online sources. The data is thematically and inductively analysed.FindingsDespite strongly self-identifying as entrepreneurs, the research participants feel marginalised and excluded from the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which results in ongoing threats to their existential authenticity as they build a legitimate entrepreneurial identity. Minority entrepreneurs navigate these threats by either downplaying or embracing their marginalised racial and/or migrant identities.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature on the identity work of minority entrepreneurs. The paper reveals that, rather than “strategising away” the discrimination and exclusion resulting from othering, racial minority entrepreneurs seek to preserve their sense of existential authenticity and self-worth, irrespective of entrepreneurial outcomes. In so doing, the study challenges the dominant perspective of entrepreneurial identity work among minority entrepreneurs as overly instrumental and market-driven. Moreover, the study also contributes to the literature on authenticity in entrepreneurship by highlighting how racial minority entrepreneurs navigate authenticity threats while building legitimacy in a White ecosystem.
Is aggressive tax planning a failure of tax adviser integrity?
Authors: Ordower Henry 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to address the fundamentals of tax planning and seeks to focus on the opportunities and root causes for tax planning.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper reviews the current state of tax planning with case studies that reveal fundamental statutory structural opportunities.

Findings
While some, possibly many, tax advisers lack integrity and recommend tax structures to their clients that are inconsistent with reasonable interpretations of the tax law, most advisers, even very aggressive and creative advisers, probably do not. The paper suggests that it may be futile to seek to deter tax professionals from designing and marketing tax plans unless legislation makes tax advisers jointly responsible with their clients for their clients’ tax underpayments.

Practical implications
Short of such a radical approach, governments must commit first to altering the basic structure of their tax laws to make aggressive tax planning uninviting.

Originality/value
The paper offers original insights into the inseparability of the legislative process from the creation of unnecessary tax planning opportunities.
Exploring the nonlinear effect of shadow economies on sustainable development in Africa: does the level of financial market development matter?
Authors: Kusi Baah Aye 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the nonlinear threshold effect of shadow economy on sustainable development in Africa while providing additional evidence on how this nonlinear threshold effect play out in economies with high and low developed financial/credit markets.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses 37 African economies between 2009 and 2017 in a dynamic GMM panel model that controls for country, year and technological effects to ensure consistency and reliability of results and findings.

Findings
The results reveal that there is an inverted nonlinear U-shape nexus between the size of shadow economy and sustainable development in both short run and long run in Africa and across economies with high and low developed credit/financial market. Also, the threshold points beyond which the size of shadow economies dampens sustainable development is lower for economies with high financial/credit market development and higher in the long run.

Practical implications
These results have policy implications and recommendations and suggest that shadow economies can be beneficial to sustainable development particularly when the size of shadow economies are restrained from increasing beyond certain thresholds/levels. Moreso, to restrict the adverse effect of shadow economies on sustainable development, policymakers can rely on developing their financial/credit markets to tame the destructive nature of shadow economies on sustainable development. These results are robust to technological, year/time and country effects.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study examines for the first in the context of Africa, the nonlinear effect of shadow economies on sustainable development under low and high developed financial markets.

Published: October 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is determination of cadmium using silver-gold bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag-Au BMNPs) and an aptamer modified glassy carbon electrode.

Design/methodology/approach
The maximum response of modified electrode was obtained with, 50 mV pulse amplitude, 20 mV/s scan rate in phosphate buffer of pH 4.0. Ag-Au BMNPs, as the mediators improved electron transmit during the entire electron transfer process and the aptasensor response. Herein, the authors used aptamer as the capture probe to prepare an aptasensor with enhanced stability.

Findings
The proposed aptasensor exhibited a wide linearity to cadmium in the range of 0.001–0.100 µg/L with a low detection limit of 0.005×10−3 µg/L. The glassy carbon electrodes with Ag-Au BMNPs showed a lower detection limit.

Originality/value
This aptasensor has good reproducibility, stability and repeatability and is cost-effective to regenerate. The specificity and selectivity of the novel modified electrode is tested in the presence of other interfering metal ions such as Fe2+, Mn2+, Mg2+, Sb3+ and Bi3+. The aptasensor shows 10 times more sensitivity and selectivity for Cd2+ ions.

AbstractAujeszky's disease virus (ADV), also known as Suid alphaherpesvirus 1, which mainly infects swine, causes life‐threatening neurological disorders. This disease is a serious global risk factor for economic losses in the swine industry. The development of new anti‐ADV drugs is highly anticipated and required. Natto, a traditional Japanese fermented food made from soybeans, is a well‐known health food. In our previous study, we confirmed that natto has the potential to inhibit viral infections by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 through their putative serine protease(s). In this study, we found that an agent(s) in natto functionally impaired ADV infection in cell culture assays. In addition, ADV treated with natto extract lost viral infectivity in the mice. We conducted an HPLC gel‐filtration analysis of natto extract and molecular weight markers and confirmed that Fraction No. 10 had ADV‐inactivating ability. Furthermore, the antiviral activity of Fraction No. 10 was inhibited by the serine protease inhibitor 4‐(2‐Aminoethyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF). These results also suggest that Fraction No. 10, adjacent to the 12.5 kDa peak of the marker in natto extract, may inactivate ADV by proteolysis. Our findings provide new avenues of research for the prevention of Aujeszky's disease.

Abstract

Population size is a key metric for management and policy decisions, yet wildlife monitoring programmes are often limited by the spatial and temporal scope of surveys. In these cases, citizen science data may provide complementary information at higher resolution and greater extent.

We present a case study demonstrating how data from the eBird citizen science programme can be combined with regional monitoring efforts by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to produce high‐resolution estimates of golden eagle abundance. We developed a model that uses aerial survey data from the western United States to calibrate high‐resolution annual estimates of relative abundance from eBird. Using this model, we compared regional population size estimates based on the calibrated eBird information with those based on aerial survey data alone.

Population size estimates based on the calibrated eBird information had strong correspondence to estimates from aerial survey data in two out of four regions, and population trajectories based on the two approaches showed high correlations.

We demonstrate how the combination of citizen science data and targeted surveys can be used to (a) increase the spatial resolution of population size estimates, (b) extend the spatial extent of inference and (c) predict population size beyond the temporal period of surveys. Findings based on this case study can be used to refine policy metrics used by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and inform permitting regulations (e.g. mortality/harm associated with wind energy development).

Policy implications: Our results demonstrate the ability of citizen science data to complement targeted monitoring programmes and improve the efficacy of decision frameworks that require information on population size or trajectory. After validating citizen science data against survey‐based benchmarks, agencies can harness strengths of citizen science data to supplement information needs and increase the resolution and extent of population size predictions.
Gaze‐speech coordination during social interaction in Parkinson's disease
Authors: Hodgson Timothy L. , Hermens Frouke , Ezard Gemma 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) can affect social interaction and communication as well as motor and cognitive processes. Speech is affected in PD, as is the control of voluntary eye movements which are thought to play an important role in ‘turn taking’ in conversation.AimsThis study aimed to measure eye movements during spoken conversation in PD to assess whether differences in patterns of eye gaze are linked to disrupted turn taking and impaired communication efficiency.Methods & ProcedureEleven participants with mild PD and 14 controls completed a two‐player guessing game. During each 3 min game turn, one of the players had to guess the names of as many objects as possible based only on the other player's description. Eye movements were recorded simultaneously in both participants using mobile eye trackers along with speech onset and offset times.Outcomes & ResultsWhen people with PD played the role of describer, the other player guessed fewer objects compared to when controls described objects. When guessing objects, people with PD performed just as well as controls. Analysis of eye fixations showed that people with PD made longer periods of fixation on the other player's face relative to controls and a lower number of such ‘gaze on face’ periods.Conclusions & ImplicationsA combination of oculomotor, cognitive and speech abnormalities may disrupt communication in PD. Better public awareness of oculomotor, speech and other deficits in the condition could improve social connectedness in people with Parkinson's.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDSWhat is already known on this subject?
Parkinson's disease is known to affect the control of voluntary eye movements. Direction of eye gaze is important in spoken conversation as a cue to turn‐taking, but no studies have examined whether eye movements are different during communication in people with Parkinson's.What this paper adds to existing knowledge?
People with Parkinson's showed longer periods of eye fixation during conversations compared to controls. Delays and overlaps between speech turns were also affected in patients.What are the clinical implications of this work?
Better knowledge of the effect of the disease on eye gaze control amongst clinicians may help improve communication and social connectedness for patients in the future.
Exemplary differences: ethnicity, mythic histories, and essentialism in Khovd, Mongolia
Authors: Ellis Joe 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article provides an ethnographic account of understandings of ‘ethnic’ difference in Khovd province, Mongolia. It attempts to use said material to challenge the terms of debate within the current concern with ‘essentialism’ in social theory. It is in agreement with constructivist‐inspired observations by anthropologists that so‐called ethnic groups in Mongolia exist partly as ideological ascriptions arising from historical and contemporary political interests. Yet there is an intellectual tension, which sees the anthropologist engaged in the politically important task of the de‐essentialization of identities, on behalf of people who claim said identities as their essence. This article neither accepts ethnic groups as somehow unproblematically real, nor positions such ideas purely as a target for deconstruction. Rather, it provides an account of times when moralized understandings of ethnic difference in the medium of mythic‐historical exemplars are mobilized and examines their impact on social life. It shows that certain forms of essentialism may contain affordances that amplify social and political possibilities, rather than violently close them down. The final provocation is that anthropologists and social theorists would do better to examine the precise nature and effects of particular instances of essentialism rather than instinctively demolish them in general.
Urban flight: A short‐term phenomenon or long‐term trend?
Authors: Kim Dongshin , Raiha Davin , Seo Youngme , Freybote Julia 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWe investigate whether the urban flight from more to less dense locations identified by previous housing studies for the early COVID period is a temporary, pandemic‐induced phenomenon, or long‐term trend. We focus on the period of 2017–2022, 14,961 single‐family home transactions from Southwestern Ontario, and three housing market metrics. Our results for sales price in the early pandemic periods are in line with previous studies. However, our results for sales price in the last pandemic phase (2022), marketing time, and visit activity suggest that the urban flight was a temporary phenomenon characteristic of the early COVID phases.
Fatty acids derived from oviposition systems guide female black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) toward egg deposition sites

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, comes with big promises for industrial purposes since its larvae feed polyphagously on a broad spectrum of organic substrates. However, research focusing on adult flies is scarce, which is inconsistent with their reproductive relevance within the rearing cycle. In particular, directed oviposition is a challenge in artificial systems. Currently, decomposing organic matter is commonly used as oviposition substrate, which has extensive potential for improvement in view of the lack of standardization and the risk of microbial contamination. Here, we identified three fatty acids and one fatty acid methyl ester derived from the surface of old oviposition sites and targeted to elucidate their effect on preference behavior and oviposition site selection using Y‐olfactometry and prepared oviposition sites, respectively. Exposure to tetradecanoic acid attracted gravid females and stimulated oviposition most strongly, while decanoic acid demonstrated a repulsive effect. Females kept in mixed‐sex populations were attracted by tetradecanoic acid, resulting in a higher egg mass found in the compound box (3.0–11.4 fold), a ≥ 2.3 fold reduction of nonspecifically deposited eggs, and the highest total egg mass. Conversely, decanoic and dodecanoic acid caused females to lay a greater proportion of eggs nonspecifically outside both boxes. Our data suggest that fatty acids, especially tetradecanoic acid, are important cues for oviposition site selection in black soldier flies. In order to achieve a directed oviposition behavior, the role of further short‐ and long‐chain fatty acids as attractants should be examined.

AbstractMany studies have found that dietary fiber can protect against colorectal cancer (CRC). Survival in CRC patients is significantly reduced due to metastasis. However, little is known regarding the impact of dietary fiber on the CRC metastasis. In this study, we analyzed the effects of inulin, cellulose, and their mixture on CRC metastasis in a murine orthotopic transplantation model. BALB/C male mice were divided into the normal control (NC) (AIN‐93 M diet), MOD (AIN‐93 M diet), INU (10% w/w inulin), CEL (10% w/w cellulose), and MIX (5% w/w inulin + 5% w/w cellulose) groups. Dietary fiber intake inhibited the weights of the orthotopic tumors, liver weights, and liver metastasis area (p < 0.05) and improved the survival rate of tumor‐bearing mice. Compared to the NC, the expression of β‐catenin and the epithelial marker E‐cadherin were lower, and that of mesenchymal markers, such as N‐cadherin, MMP‐9, and VEGF, were higher in the MOD group. All inulin, cellulose, and their mixture restored the gut microbiota diversity, and they, respectively, increased the relative abundance of Bifidobacteriales, Lactobacillus, and Lachnospiraceae. Inulin restored the levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, and butyric acid. Spearman correlation analysis results showed that there was a positive correlation between five genera and six short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (adjusted p < 0.05). In conclusion, all inulin, cellulose, and their mixture have inhibitory effects on CRC metastasis, which may be achieved by the regulation of gut microbiota, the production of SCFAs, and the inhibition of the epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition process. Among the three dietary fiber intervention groups, the inhibitory effect of inulin is more significant.
