Mainstream economics’ war with the environment: counter-critiques from heterodox economics and Islamic economics
Authors: Yilmaz Ekrem , Deymencioğlu Güler , Atas Mehmet , Sensoy Fatma 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to present the perspectives of heterodox economics and Islamic economics on environmental economics, as an alternative to mainstream economics, which takes economic growth as its main objective and argues that environmental problems will largely disappear when economic growth is achieved.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, there was no intention to conduct a detailed analysis of heterodox economic models and Islamic economics. Instead, the approaches to the “environment,” which can be considered as an urgent need of the planet, were evaluated, and the inadequate proposals of the mainstream economics’ environmental approach were theoretically criticized and heterodox economics and Islamic economics were proposed as an alternative model.

Findings
Heterodox and Islamic economics offer alternative models of development prioritizing social and ecological justice to address environmental problems, which is in contrast to mainstream economics’ narrow focus on market mechanisms and individual rationality. Thus, engaging in more dialogue in the context of the environment is inevitable for both schools, considering the vast geography inhabited by Muslims and the proposed heterodox economic policies, and moreover, these approaches are modeled for the first time.

Originality/value
This article presents a synthesis of Islamic economics and heterodox thinking in contrast to mainstream economic policy, highlighting their similarities and differences and providing a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities and potential solutions of environmental problems. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this approach has not been previously explored, making it an original contribution to the literature.
From supply chain learning to the learning supply chain: drivers, processes, complexity, trade-offs and challenges
Authors: Silvestre Bruno S. , Gong Yu , Bessant John , Blome Constantin 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe view that supply chain learning (SCL) has become a fundamental capability that supply chains must employ to innovate and improve their financial, technological, operational, environmental and social performance is widely accepted. However, the SCL phenomenon is still understudied and not fully understood by scholars, decision-makers and government representatives. This article aims to make sense of the existing literature and to identify important research directions that require further attention.Design/methodology/approachThis article reviews the diversity of SCL in the literature, proposes a typology of such a phenomenon, provides an overview of key articles in the literature and identifies a series of recommendations for the future development of the field.FindingsThis article combines two fundamental dimensions from the literature (i.e. SCL driver and SCL network) to produce a typology of four types of SCL: Captive, Consortium, Selective and Distributed.Practical implicationsThe typology proposed here offers an important framework for supply chain decision-makers to rely on when implementing SCL initiatives. The implications of each type of SCL offer a robust rationale for decision-makers to adopt the most appropriate type of SCL or combinations of SCL types, given each situation. In addition, the typology supports policy-makers in further understanding the SCL phenomenon and creating effective innovation, economic development and sustainability policies through supply chains.Originality/valueThis article offers a novel typology that the authors hope will help scholars to advance the field of SCL in order to understand this important phenomenon. There is no good/bad/better/worse SCL type in the proposed typology, but the critical element for the success of SCL efforts is the level of fit between the type of SCL, the type of knowledge to be created and diffused, and the outcome supply chains aim to achieve with that learning effort. In addition, the authors coin the construct of “the learning supply chain”, which refers to a supply chain that learns constantly by employing all four types of SCL simultaneously.
Assessing place experiences in Luton and Darlington on Twitter with topic modelling and AI-generated lexicons
Authors: Taecharungroj Viriya , Stoica Ioana S. 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the in situ place experiences of people in Luton and Darlington.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used 109,998 geotagged tweets from Luton and Darlington between 2020 and 2022 and conducted topic modelling using latent Dirichlet allocation. Lexicons were created using GPT-4 to evaluate the eight dimensions of place experience for each topic.

Findings
The study found that Darlington had higher counts in the sensorial, behavioural, designed and mundane dimensions of place experience than Luton. Conversely, Luton had a higher prevalence of the affective and intellectual dimensions, attributed to political and faith-related tweets.

Originality/value
The study introduces a novel approach that uses AI-generated lexicons for place experience. These lexicons cover four facets, two intentions and two intensities of place experience, enabling detection of words from any domain. This approach can be useful not only for town and destination brand managers but also for researchers in any field.
The reluctance to the vaccine, mental health, fear of covid-19 and quality of life among Palestinians: an exploratory comparative study in different geographical areas
Authors: Veronese Guido , Ismail Anas , Mahamid Fayez , El-Khodary Basel , Bdier Dana , Diab Marwan 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore the effect of mental health in terms of depression, anxiety, stress, fear of COVID-19 and quality of life (QoL) on the reluctance to be vaccinated in a population of Palestinian adults living in occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors recruited 1,122 Palestinian adults who consented to participate in the study; 722 were females, and the mean age of the sample was 40.83 (SD 8.8). Depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS), World Health Organization QoL-BREF, FCov-19 and reluctance to the vaccine scale were administered; hierarchical regression analysis was applied to test vaccine reluctance as a dependent variable, and mental health, fear of COVID-19 and QoL as independent variables. This study hypothesized influence of such variables on the vaccine choice with differences due to the participants’ geographical locations.

Findings
Findings showed an effect of mental health, particularly depression, QoL and fear of COVID on vaccine reluctance, with depression and fear of COVID in the West Bank and Gaza, while in Israel, QoL played a role in vaccination choices.

Research limitations/implications
The future needs to be comprehended more thoroughly to discover mutations and fluctuations over time in vaccine hesitancy and the increasing role of psychological distress, diminished QoL and fear of Covid-19. Online recruitment might not have allowed the study to include the most disadvantaged strips of the Palestinian population.

Practical implications
Human rights perspectives must be considered in public health and public mental health policies to ensure the QoL and well-being for the Palestinian population during and following the pandemic.

Social implications
The crumbling of the Palestinian health-care system exacerbated the sense of dread among the population and made them less likely to vaccinate. The pandemic-like spread of Covid-19 prompts a plea for the global community to actively advocate for the urgent re-establishment of equity, autonomy and durability of the medical infrastructure in the occupied territories and equal entitlements for the Palestinians in Israel.

Originality/value
The results demonstrated the importance for public mental health to consider the multiple levels implied in the vaccine refusal in Palestine and Israel among the Palestinian population.
Herding in the Australian stock market during the era of COVID-19: the roles of liquidity, government interventions and mood contagion
Authors: Huynh Nhan , Nguyen Dat Thanh , Tran Quang Thien 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis study explores the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis on herding behaviour in the Australian equity market by considering liquidity, government interventions and sentiment contagion.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes a daily dataset of the top 500 stocks in the Australian market from January 2009 to December 2021. Both predictive regression and portfolio approaches are employed to consider the impact of COVID-19 on herding intention.FindingsThis study confirms that herding propensity is more pronounced at the beginning of the crisis and becomes less significant towards later phases when reverse herding is more visible. Investors herd more toward sectors with less available information on financial support from the government during the financial meltdown. Conditioning the stock liquidity, herding is only detectable during highly liquid periods and high-liquid stocks, which is more observable during the initial phases of the crisis. Further, the mood contagion from the United States (US) market to Australian market and asymmetric herding intention are evident during the pandemic.Originality/valueThis is the first study to shed further light on the impact of a health crisis on the trading behaviour of Australian investors, which is driven by liquidity, public information and sentiment. Notwithstanding the theoretical contributions to the prior literature, several practical implications are proposed for businesses, policymakers and investors during uncertainty periods.
The heterogeneous impact of house purchase limits policy on housing prices: Comparison between elite and non‐elite school district houses
Authors: Huang Yongbin , Hong Hai 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe effectiveness of housing purchase limits policies has aroused heated debate, yet few discussed its impact on educational capitalization. We examine the heterogeneous effect of housing purchase limits policy on the price of elite school district houses (ESDH) and non‐elite school district houses. By exploiting second‐hand houses data in Hefei China, we find that the price of ESDH has increased greatly after the limitation, compared with non‐elite school districts. Further we discover that the ESDH have lower depreciation risks, and their price is higher in neighborhoods with smaller dwelling area. Our finding indicates that the limits policy may have exacerbated the educational capitalization.
Deciphering the U.S. metropolitan house price dynamics
Authors: Plakandaras Vasilios , Pragidis Ioannis , Karypidis Paris 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this article, we propose a novel estimator that builds on recent advances in heterogenous estimators to introduce the concepts of cross‐sectional heterogeneity and cross‐sectional dependency in the machine learning (ML) literature. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in forecasting house prices at the county level for the 56 most populated Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., identifying bubbles in local house markets as they form and measuring the returns on a trading strategy based on model's forecasts. In doing so, we find that the proposed method achieves an out‐of‐sample error of 0.252 in house prices forecasting, while the most accurate econometric estimator has a forecasting error of 0.678 and the most accurate ML 0.763. In terms of bubble identification, the proposed model achieves a 0.470 recall against 0.390 and 0.380 of the most accurate econometric and ML, respectively. Finally, in terms of economic significance, a diversified portfolio of Real Estate Investment Trust stocks achieves an averaged return of 13.1%, which is twice as large as the second most profitable trading strategy. Our work has direct policy implications to market participants and monetary policy authorities as it shapes a new local approach to monitoring the real estate market.
Interactions between mitochondrial dysfunction and other hallmarks of aging: Paving a path toward interventions that promote healthy old age
Authors: Li Yuan , Berliocchi Laura , Li Zhiquan , Rasmussen Lene Juel 
Published: July 2023

AbstractCurrent research on human aging has largely been guided by the milestone paper “hallmarks of aging,” which were first proposed in the seminal 2013 paper by Lopez‐Otin et al. Most studies have focused on one aging hallmark at a time, asking whether the underlying molecular perturbations are sufficient to drive the aging process and its associated phenotypes. More recently, researchers have begun to investigate whether aging phenotypes are driven by concurrent perturbations in molecular pathways linked to not one but to multiple hallmarks of aging and whether they present different patterns in organs and systems over time. Indeed, preliminary results suggest that more complex interactions between aging hallmarks must be considered and addressed, if we are to develop interventions that successfully promote healthy aging and/or delay aging‐associated dysfunction and diseases. Here, we summarize some of the latest work and views on the interplay between hallmarks of aging, with a specific focus on mitochondrial dysfunction. Indeed, this represents a significant example of the complex crosstalk between hallmarks of aging and of the effects that an intervention targeted to a specific hallmark may have on the others. A better knowledge of these interconnections, of their cause‐effect relationships, of their spatial and temporal sequence, will be very beneficial for the whole aging research field and for the identification of effective interventions in promoting healthy old age.
Supply chain concentration and cost of capital
Authors: Upson James E. , Wei Chao 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study examines the impact of supply chain concentration on a firm's financing costs. We show purchasing firms with multiple supplier relationships are subject to higher information asymmetry and cost of equity. This effect is more pronounced when the supplier's financial performance deteriorates. We also find that lower supply chain concentration increases a firm's cost of debt. We believe that the purchaser's supply chain represents a source of material private information and that investors require a higher rate of return as compensation for increased information asymmetry. Our results are robust to combining the suppliers producing similar output and endogeneity issues.

AbstractIntroductionPsychotic‐like experiences (PLE) have been associated with the subsequent emergence of psychotic disorders as well as several other domains of psychopathology. In this twin study, we estimated the genetic and environmental correlations between PLE and 10 personality disorders (PD).MethodsDiagnoses of 10 PDs according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐IV) and PLE from the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) were retrieved for 2793 young adult twins from the Norwegian Twin Registry. Risk for having a PD and PLEs was modeled using item response theory. Biometric twin models were fitted to estimate the genetic and environmental correlations between PDs and PLEs. Co‐twin control analysis was performed to estimate additional within‐family risk for PLEs when having a PD.ResultsPhenotypic overlap between PDs and PLEs ranged from 14% to 44% in males and from 11% to 39% in females, with the highest overlap for borderline PD in both sexes. In general, we found higher genetic correlations (r = 0.14–0.72) than environmental correlations (r = 0.06–0.28) between PDs and PLEs. The highest genetic correlations between PLE and PDs were found for borderline (r = 0.72), paranoid (r = 0.56), schizotypal (r = 0.56) and antisocial PD (r = 0.49).ConclusionWe found that the co‐occurrence between PDs and PLE is the best explained by shared genetic determinants, with minor contributions from environmental factors. Interestingly, borderline PD was highly genetically correlated with PLE, warranting molecular genetic studies of this association.
Obesity and recurrent miscarriage: The interconnections between adipose tissue and the immune system

Published: July 2023

AbstractCurrently, obesity is considered a global public health problem. It is the main risk factor for noncommunicable diseases and reproductive complications, such as recurrent miscarriage (RM). RM affects approximately 1% of couples of reproductive age, and recent studies suggest that its prevalence is increasing. Immunological abnormalities may be responsible for a significant number of cases of unexplained RM. Obesity is recognized as a chronic low‐grade inflammatory condition. The accumulation of fat in obese adipose tissue promotes changes in the local and systemic immune response. Adipokines, exosomes, micro‐RNAs, lipids, and other factors released or secreted by adipose tissue are responsible for the interconnection between obesity and the immune system. Obesity‐induced dysregulation of the innate and acquired immune response is also involved in the immunopathology of pregnancy loss in patients with unexplained RM. Therefore, understanding the communication pathways between maternal adipose tissue and the immune response in women living with obesity and RM is an important objective. Thus, diagnostic tools and new immunomodulatory therapies may be proposed for the management of patients with concurrent obesity and RM.

AbstractBackgroundAlthough antioxidants are largely used in subfertile men with oligo‐astheno‐teratozoospermia (OAT), the choice among different molecules is challenged by the lack of comparative head‐to‐head studies. The network meta‐analysis (NMA) can overcome limitations of pairwise meta‐analyses, since it incorporates direct and indirect evidence into a single model generating an effectiveness hierarchy.ObjectiveTo assess with a NMA the effects of antioxidants in improving seminal parameters in idiopathic OAT.Materials and methodsPubMed, Scopus, Cinahl, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing any antioxidant treatment to each other or placebo in men with at least one idiopathic seminal abnormality. Data were included in a random‐effects NMA, where efficacy of treatments was ranked by surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA).Results29 RCTs provided information on 2045 men (mean age: 33.5 years) with idiopathic OAT and 19 antioxidant preparations. Compared to placebo, l‐carnitine, especially in combination with l‐acetyl‐carnitine (LAC), had the highest SUCRA for sperm concentration, progressive motility, and morphology. Folate was the only other compound effective on sperm concentration. Vitamin E+selenium or zinc had the highest SUCRA for total motility. A contribution on progressive motility was revealed for pentoxifylline and vitamin E+CoQ10.

AbstractCongenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare clinical entity, which usually presents during adulthood with associated defects; atrioventricular block, heart failure, systemic valve failure, and arrhythmias usually complicate the clinical course. Even rarer is associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which complicates the disease course and clinical decision‐making. Herein, we present a patient with this condition who underwent heart transplantation, with adequate clinical resolution.
FOUR STYLIZED FACTS ABOUT COVID‐19
Authors: Atkeson Andrew G. , Kopecky Karen A. , Zha Tao 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe develop a Bayesian method for estimating the dynamics of COVID‐19 deaths and discover four key findings that expose the limitations of current structural epidemiological models . (i) Death growth rates declined rapidly from high levels during the initial 30 days of the epidemic worldwide. (ii) After this initial period, these rates fluctuated substantially around 0%. (iii) The cross‐location standard deviation of death growth rates decreased rapidly in the first 10 days but remained high afterward. (iv) These insights apply to both effective reproduction numbers and their cross‐location variability through epidemiological models. Our method is applicable to studying other epidemics.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics of patients who report improvement in quality of life (QOL) related to urinary status after undergoing robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for localized prostate cancer.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the patients who underwent RARP between May 2010 and May 2021 at our institution and were preoperatively unsatisfied with their urinary status. Patients were grouped as Group 1 (improved patients: “satisfied” with urinary status based on international prostate symptom score QOL [IPSS‐QOL] = 0–2 at 12 months after RARP) and Group 2 (unimproved group: “unsatisfied”–IPSS‐QOL 3–6). Additionally, the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) urinary subdomains (urinary function, urinary bother [UB], urinary incontinence, and urinary irritation/obstruction [UIR]) and IPSS were evaluated preoperatively and till 12 months after RARP.ResultsOf the 237 patients, 72 (30.4%) were Group 1, and 165 (69.6%) were Group 2. Only UB and UIR improved at 12 months after RARP in Group 1, while other EPIC urinary subdomains remained unimproved at 12 months in both groups. On the other hand, IPSS improved at 12 months in both groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that the nerve‐sparing, preoperative low IPSS (<11 vs. ≥11), and low IPSS‐QOL (3 vs. 4–6) were associated with improvement in urinary status‐related QOL (p < 0.05).ConclusionsImprovement in UB and UIR are important factors to ascertain improvement in urinary status‐related QOL after RARP. Nerve‐sparing and preoperative IPSS/IPSS‐QOL values are useful predictors of this improvement.
