Now that everyone else has panicked, well… I have to panic: regulatory focus predicts panic buying during COVID-19
Authors: Ross Guy Moshe 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper was to identify social and behavioral factors responsible for panic buying during global pandemics such as COVID-19.

Design/methodology/approach
According to regulatory focus theory, behavior of individuals is regulated by two motivational systems – prevention and promotion. Prevention-focused behavior is motivated by security and safety needs and is associated with a strategic preference for vigilant means of goal pursuit. Prevention-focused vigilance is reflected in unwillingness to take risks and low ability to cope with uncertain environments and changing conditions. Promotion-focused behavior is motivated by growth and self-development needs and is associated with a strategic preference for eager means of goal pursuit. Promotion-focused eagerness is reflected in willingness to take risks and high ability to cope with uncertainty and change. Two studies tested the notion that panic buying during public health crises such as COVID-19 is related to the strength of the prevention system, perceived scarcity of products, perceived threat of the disease, age and gender.

Findings
Study 1 showed that the higher the perceived scarcity of products, the higher was the probability that panic buying would set in. Yet, different patterns emerged for men and women. Among women, the stronger the prevention focus, the stronger was the effect. Among men, by contrast, the stronger the prevention focus, the weaker was the effect. Study 2 showed that the higher the perceived threat of the disease, the higher was the probability that panic buying would occur. However, different patterns were observed with age. Among older adults, the stronger the prevention focus, the stronger was the effect. Among young adults, by contrast, the stronger the prevention focus, the weaker was the effect.

Research limitations/implications
Implications to address erratic consumer behavior during future pandemics are discussed.

Originality/value
By applying the theory of regulatory focus to consumer marketing, this research helps to identify marketing strategies to manage panic buying and develop contingency plans that address erratic consumer behavior during future pandemics.

Authors: Abbas Yasir Abdullah , Ahmad-Zaluki Nurwati A. , Mehmood Waqas 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the relationship between the community and environment disclosures and the long-run share price performance of Malaysian initial public offering (IPO) companies.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used secondary data through the content analysis of the annual reports and DataStream of 115 sampled IPOs listed on Bursa Malaysia from 2007 to 2015. The present study incorporated weighted least squares and quantile least squares to evaluate the relationship between the community and environment disclosures and IPO performance.

Findings
The results show a positive and significant relationship between the extent and quality of community disclosures and IPO performance; while the extent and quality of environment disclosures have a negative and positive relationship, respectively, with IPO performance. These results suggest that community and environmental activities can be considered an effort to enhance Malaysian IPOs.

Practical implications
These results suggest that Malaysian IPO companies should be involved consistently in corporate social responsibility disclosure, i.e. community and environmental activities, as they have a significant impact on the performance of Malaysian IPOs. The findings can facilitate financial institutions and regulatory agencies in driving companies to be more responsible regarding community and environmental disclosures.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study provides new insights into the relationship between the community and environment disclosures and the performance of Malaysian IPO companies.

How international students affect inbound tourism? Empirical evidence from 269 cities in China
Authors: Li Guangqin , Pu Kangyun 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the correlation and mechanism between international students and inbound tourism.

Design/methodology/approach
Taking 269 prefecture-level cities in China as a sample, bringing international students and inbound tourism into the same analytical framework, the paper applies the fixed-effects model, instrumental variables model and mediating effects model to investigate the impact of international students on inbound tourism.

Findings
International students significantly contribute to the increase in inbound tourists and tourism revenue in China, which remain valid after a series of robustness tests. When the relocation data of Chinese urban universities and faculties in the 1950s are used as an instrumental variable for the potential endogenous problems of international students, the results are still valid. Heterogeneity research shows that the impact of international students on inbound tourism has heterogeneous effects in different regions. In addition, the mechanism analysis shows that international students promote China’s inbound tourism mainly through two channels: the economic growth effect and the human capital effect.

Research limitations/implications
This paper provides evidence of the correlation between international students and inbound tourism in developing countries. However, as the data for the study are all from China, caution should be taken when applying the findings of this paper to other regions.

Practical implications
This paper provides evidence on the causal relationship between international students and inbound tourism in developing countries. However, as the data for the study are all from China, caution should be taken when applying the findings of this paper to other regions.

Social implications
This paper creatively finds out the instrumental variables of international students with academic education to deal with the potential endogenous problems, and then identifies the causal relationship between international students and inbound tourism.

Originality/value
This paper creatively finds out the instrumental variables of international students to deal with the potential endogenous problems and then identifies the correlation between international students and inbound tourism.
Did the FASB Codification Reduce the Complexity of Applying U.S. GAAP?
Authors: Binz Oliver , Hills Robert , Kubic Matthew 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTWe examine whether the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Codification made it easier for preparers and auditors to locate relevant accounting guidance. We find that areas of U.S. GAAP with more dispersed and voluminous guidance before the Codification experience a larger post‐Codification reduction in restatements. We find a similar decline in SEC comment letter questions referencing areas of U.S. GAAP with more dispersed and voluminous pre‐Codification guidance. Our results suggest that before the Codification, preparers and auditors had difficulty in locating the appropriate accounting guidance and that the Codification mitigated this difficulty.
Business strategy, cash holdings, and dividend payouts
Authors: Houqe Muhammad Nurul , Monem Reza M. , van Zijl Tony 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBusiness strategy's impact on firm cash holdings and dividend payouts has largely remained unexplored. We identify a fundamental and direct link between a firm's business strategy and its cash holdings and dividend payouts. Analysing two large samples of data on US firms over the period 1992–2017, we find strong evidence that prospectors (defenders) are likely to hold more (less) cash and pay less (more) dividends than other firms. Further analysis suggests that prospectors pay dividends less frequently than do defenders. The results are robust to a battery of robustness checks and additional analysis. Overall, the results suggest that identifying a firm's business strategy significantly helps to understand a firm's cash holdings and dividend payout decisions.
An unusual finding of the Porus trigeminus: Case report with histological findings
Authors: Banerjee Somdeb , Iwanaga Joe , Dumont Aaron S. , Tubbs R. Shane 
Published: March 2023

AbstractMany anatomical variants can potentially contribute to trigeminal neuralgia. These include compression by the superior cerebellar artery and less commonly, bony compression near the trigeminal cave. Herein, we report the gross and histological findings of a cadaveric specimen found to have a bony roof of the trigeminal cave. During the routine dissection of a male cadaver, an unusual finding of the skull base was observed. Palpation over the porus trigeminus identified a completely ossified roof. The bony spicule was 1.22 cm long and 0.76 mm wide. The trigeminal nerve was noted to have an indented region just below its contact with the ossified roof of the porus trigeminus. No frank nerve degeneration was noted with histological analysis. Normal mature bone tissue was noted surrounded by a sheath of dura mater. Future radiographic research is needed to better elucidate if ossification of the roof of the trigeminal cave is related to clinical symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, physicians should be cognizant of radiographic ossification of the trigeminal cave as a potential cause of TN.
Stochastic convergence analysis of US state economic freedom sub‐components: Evidence from unit root tests for bounded processes
Authors: Payne James E. , Saunoris James W. , Nazlioglu Saban , Karul Cagin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study tests for convergence of the three main sub‐components of economic freedom (government spending, taxation, and labor market freedom) for the 50 US states from 1981 to 2019. In particular, we test for stochastic convergence using unit root tests that account for structural breaks and bounded processes. By controlling for these sources of parameter instability, we find limited evidence in favor of stochastic convergence across the three sub‐components of economic freedom. However, we find more evidence of stochastic convergence with respect to the sub‐components than in the case of the overall economic freedom at the US state level. Our results highlight the distinct nature of the institutional quality across states as represented by government spending, taxation, and labor market freedom.
Secondary spleen in immune thrombocytopenia: Not so accessory after all…
Authors: Kapur Rick , Audia Sylvain 
Published: March 2023

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by an isolated thrombocytopenia. The pathophysiology is complex but involves platelet‐autoantibodies and/or cytotoxic T cells, with the spleen playing an important regulatory role. Accessory spleen (AcS) may possibly contribute to ITP relapse following splenectomy; however, the microenvironment of AcS has not been directly compared to the main spleen. Pizzi et al. conducted a histological study of adult ITP patients where they compared eight matched AcS to main spleens, and they observed a similar immunological composition in both groups. This supports the possibility of AcS‐mediated ITP relapse post splenectomy.Commentary on: Pizzi et al. Accessory spleens recapitulate the immune microenvironment of the main spleen in immune thrombocytopenia. Br J Haematol 2023;202:147–152.

Social movement unionism in Spain's feminized precarious service sector: Criticism, cooperation and competition
Authors: Alcalde‐González Verna , Gálvez‐Mozo Ana , Valenzuela‐Bustos Alan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract‘Social movement unionism’ (SMU) has been suggested as a suitable strategy for union renewal in Spain, yet the literature on union renewal and SMU has two major shortcomings: (1) a lack of bottom‐up studies, and (2) a lack of dialogue between industrial relations and social movement research. To redress these shortcomings, we make three contributions in this article: first, we provide evidence on the current opportunities for SMU in Spain's feminized precarious service sector; second, we apply a bottom‐up intersectional approach to the study of SMU; and third, we bridge the research on industrial relations and on social movements by adopting a relational framework that looks at both union and non‐union actors as key actors for union renewal. Our results show a landscape of co‐existence, conflict, cooperation and competition between union and non‐union actors, including established unions, radical grassroots unions and emerging forms of collective representation; however, if we are to develop SMU as a strategy for union renewal in post‐Great Recession Spain, then there is still room for promoting deep coalition building between unions and novel forms of worker collectivism, as well as developing intersectional politics to reach non‐traditional membership groups.

Background and PurposeNeutrophilic inflammation is a critical pathogenic factor in psoriasis. The therapeutic applicability of palbociclib, a cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor clinically used to treat cancer, in the treatment of neutrophil‐associated psoriasis remains undefined. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential and pharmacological effect of palbociclib on neutrophil‐associated psoriasiform dermatitis.Experimental ApproachThe anti‐inflammatory effects of palbociclib were determined in activated human neutrophils. The therapeutic feasibility of palbociclib in psoriasis was demonstrated in a mouse model of imiquimod‐induced psoriasiform dermatitis. The in vitro enzymatic assays and in silico analyses were used to identify the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.Key ResultsThis study found that palbociclib inhibited neutrophilic inflammation, including superoxide anion generation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, elastase degranulation and chemotactic responses. The mechanistic studies identified that the anti‐inflammatory effects of palbociclib involved the targeting of phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K) but not CDK4/6 in human neutrophils. Palbociclib preferentially targeted the p110δ catalytic subunit of PI3K and thereby blocked signalling via the PI3K/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway. Furthermore, topical application of palbociclib significantly ameliorated imiquimod‐induced psoriasiform dermatitis in mice, including psoriatic symptoms, neutrophil infiltration, Akt activation and cytokine up‐regulation.Conclusions and ImplicationsThis is the first study to demonstrate that palbociclib can potentially be used to treat neutrophil‐associated psoriasiform dermatitis through the targeting of neutrophilic PI3K activity. Our findings prompt further research to explore the potential of palbociclib and PI3K in psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundAcanthopanax senticosus (AS) is a medicinal and food plant with many physiological functions, especially nerve protection. Its extract has many functional components, including polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, and amino acids. Our previous study indicated that AS extract protected against nerve damage caused by radiation. However, little is known about the gut‐brain axis mechanism of AS and its impact on radiation‐induced learning and memory impairment.MethodIn 60Co‐γ ray‐irradiated mice, we investigated the changes in behavior, neurotransmitters and gut microbiota after different days of administration of AS extract as a dietary supplement.ResultsThe AS extract improved learning and memory ability in mice, and the neurotransmitter levels in the hippocampus and colon started to change from the 7th day, which accompanied changes of the gut microbiota, a decreased abundance of Helicobacter on the 7th day and an increased abundance of Lactobacillus on the 28th day. Among the marker bacteria, Ruminococcus and Clostridiales were associated with 5‐HT synthesis, and Streptococcus were associated with 5‐HT and ACH synthesis. In addition, the AS extract increased the tight junction protein, inhibited inflammation levels in colon, and even increased the relative protein expression of BDNF and NF‐κB and decreased the relative protein expression of IκBα in the hippocampus of irradiated mice.ConclusionThese results will lay the foundation for further study on the mechanism of the gut‐brain axis of AS in preventing radiation‐induced learning and memory impairment.

AbstractAimImmunotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is limited because of a strongly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Remodeling the immune TME is an effective strategy to eliminate GBM immunotherapy resistance. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are inherently resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and involved in immune evasion mechanism. This study aimed to investigate the effects of histone methyltransferases 2 (EHMT2 or G9a) on immunosuppressive TME and whether this effect was related to changes on cell stemness.MethodsTumor‐infiltrating immune cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry in orthotopic implanted glioma mice model. The gene expressions were measured by RT‐qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry. Cell viability was detected by CCK‐8, and cell apoptosis and cytotoxicity were detected by flow cytometry. The interaction of G9a and F‐box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (Fbxw7) promotor was verified by dual‐luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation.ResultsDownregulation of G9a retarded tumor growth and extended survival in an immunocompetent glioma mouse model, promoted the filtration of IFN‐γ + CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, and suppressed the filtration of PD‐1+ CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and M2‐like macrophages in TME. G9a inhibition decreased PD‐L1 and increased MHC‐I expressions by inactivating Notch pathway companying stemness decrease in GSCs. Mechanistically, G9a bound to Fbxw7, a Notch suppressor, to inhibit gene transcription through H3K9me2 of Fbxw7 promotor.ConclusionG9a promotes stemness characteristics through binding Fbxw7 promotor to inhibit Fbxw7 transcription in GSCs, forming an immunosuppressive TME, which provides novel treatment strategies for targeting GSCs in antitumor immunotherapy.

AbstractBackgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) that has been associated with negative outcomes. The effect on outcomes of concordance versus discordance in CMV between two different recipients of kidneys from the same donor is largely unknown.MethodsWe reviewed all adult deceased donor kidney transplant recipients (DDKTs) for which both kidneys were transplanted to two different recipients at our center between 2014 and 2019. Recipient pairs from each donor were divided into groups based on concordance or discordance for the development of CMV viremia between the pair; concordant no CMV (cc‐no‐CMV) if neither KTR developed CMV, concordant CMV (cc‐CMV) if both KTRs developed CMV. The discordant group was then further divided based on the individual development of CMV (dc‐CMV) or lack of development of CMV (dc‐no‐CMV). Patient mortality and death‐censored graft failure (DCGF) were outcomes of interest.ResultsOf 578 KTRs, 67% were cc‐no‐CMV, 5% were cc‐CMV, 14% were dc‐no‐CMV, and 14% dc‐CMV. Some of the baseline characteristics differ among the groups including a higher prevalence of high‐risk serostatus (D+/R‐) in cc‐CMV (32%) and dc‐CMV (32%). In multivariate analysis, with reference to cc‐no‐CMV, dc‐CMV was associated with increased risk for DCGF (HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.58–6.19), and so was delayed graft function. Factors associated with increased risk of mortality were advanced recipient age and DGF. cc‐CMV was neither associated with mortality nor DCGF.ConclusionsThese findings support that in certain contexts, CMV viremia has adverse allograft outcomes, and this is highlighted when illustrated via discordance in CMV between pair kidneys from the same deceased donor.
