Purpose
This study aims to identify comfort food (CF) consumption and its associated factors during the pandemic period. The study also involves an online survey conducted five months after the quarantine started in Brazil.

Design/methodology/approach
Data on lifestyle, eating habits and anthropometric data were collected before and during the pandemic, and the differences in these habits were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were performed to identify predictors of CF consumption by gender.

Findings
A total of 1,363 individuals were included in the sample, with a median age of 31 years old, of whom 80.3% were women. Since individuals were free to respond about the food consumed without predetermined categories, it was possible to carry out a faithful assessment of the occurrence of this behavior. At the same time, allowing the subjectivity and symbolism inherent to the concept of CF to be embraced. CF consumption was present for 54%, with “sweets” being the most mentioned group by both genders. The factors associated with CF consumption in women during the pandemic were increased snacking, increased bread, candies and alcoholic beverage intake, increased time spent at work, worsened sleep quality, reduced meals, perceived stress (PS), emotional eating (EE), age and increased frequency of meat intake. In men, the predictors for CF consumption were remote full-time work/study, PS, EE and early waking time. For both genders, CF consumption during the pandemic period was associated with PS and EE.

Originality/value
This study provides an important overview of the possible contributions of the pandemic on behaviors and food choices related to the consumption of CF in Brazilians. This information is valuable to support further studies to investigate and treat the impacts of the pandemic on lifestyle, eating habits and behavior, mental health and other factors in the postpandemic period.
Digital Platform Complementors and the Number of Product Features: Evidence from the Apple iOS App Store
Authors: Kang Hye Young 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis paper explores the understudied question of how the number of product features that a digital platform complementor adds to a product is associated with its performance. Specifically, by integrating consumer behaviour literature into platform research, this paper focuses on three key performance dimensions considered as important for digital platform complementors. Considering the distinctive characteristics of digital platforms, this paper conceptualizes how additional features affect consumer acquisition, consumer retention, and product monetization of a digital platform complementor. This research question is empirically examined in the context of a health and fitness mobile platform in the US Apple iOS App Store, and the panel data analyses are complemented with a randomized online experiment to mitigate endogeneity concerns and lend further credence to the findings. This paper enhances platform research by unravelling an underexplored yet essential topic—how many features a digital platform complementor should include to achieve superior performance and by distinguishing among various key performance measurements on digital platforms.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe Public Value model is widely discussed in the contemporary public management literature. Despite the growing discourse, few associated publications reflect empirical research. The important question of how public organizations, originally based on traditional public administration models, change to become public value‐orientated is underexplored. We first review the literature on public value, given alternative models of Traditional Public Administration, New Public Management, and Network Governance. We apply a core analytical framework in the public value literature (the ‘strategic triangle’) to an intensive case study of a large national agency that chose a public value strategy. Although staff support for public value (in the form of sustainable development goals) is significant, constraining factors inherited from prior public management models interfere with realizing public value ambitions ‘purely’. The study enhances an understanding of applying the Public Value model in practice by producing insights about barriers and pre‐conditions to such an organizational transition, notably from a wider institutional context. Theoretically, we suggest that the Public Value model has the potential to move to a synergy of elements of existing models in a new configuration. The implications for future research and practice are discussed.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the association of placental and fetal DNA copy number variants (CNVs) with fetal structural malformations (FSMs) in stillborn fetuses.DesignA secondary analysis of stillbirth cases in the Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network (SCRN) study.SettingMulticenter, 59 hospitals in five geographic regions in the USA.Population388 stillbirth cases of the SCRN study (2006–2008).MethodsFetal structural malformations were grouped by anatomic system and specific malformation type (e.g. central nervous system, thoracic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, skeletal, umbilical cord and craniofacial defects). Single‐nucleotide polymorphism array detected CNVs of at least 500 kb. CNVs were classified into two groups: normal, defined as no CNVs >500 kb or benign CNVs, and abnormal, defined as pathogenic or variants of unknown clinical significance.Main outcome measuresThe proportions of abnormal CNVs and normal CNVs were compared between stillbirth cases with and without FSMs using the Wald Chi‐square test.ResultsThe proportion of stillbirth cases with any FSMs was higher among those with abnormal CNVs than among those with normal CNVs (47.5 versus 19.1%; P‐value <0.001). The most common organ system‐specific FSMs associated with abnormal CNVs were cardiac defects, followed by hydrops, craniofacial defects and skeletal defects. A pathogenic deletion of 1q21.1 involving 46 genes (e.g. CHD1L) and a duplication of 21q22.13 involving four genes (SIM2, CLDN14, CHAF1B, HLCS) were associated with a skeletal and cardiac defect, respectively.ConclusionSpecific CNVs involving several genes were associated with FSMs in stillborn fetuses. The findings warrant further investigation and may inform counselling and care surrounding pregnancies affected by FSMs at risk for stillbirth.
Subjective losers of globalization

Published: June 2023

AbstractRecent political changes in established democracies have led to a new cleavage, often described as a juxtaposition of ‘winners’ and ‘losers of globalization’. Despite a growing interest in subjective group membership and identity, previous research has not studied whether individuals actually categorize themselves as globalization winners or losers and what effect this has. Based on survey data from Germany, we report evidence of a division between self‐categorized globalization winners and losers that is partially but not completely rooted in social structure and associated with attitudes towards globalization‐related issues and party choices. We thereby confirm many of the assumptions from prior research – such as that (self‐categorized) losers of globalization tend to hold lower levels of education and lean towards the radical right. At the same time, the self‐categorizations are not merely transmission belts of socio‐structural effects but seem to be politically consequential in their own right. We conclude that the categories of globalization winners and losers have the potential to form part of the identity component of the globalization cleavage and are important for understanding how political entrepreneurs appeal to voters on their side of the new divide.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe Holy Grail of an Insect Tree of Life can only be ‘discovered’ through extensive collaboration among taxon specialists, phylogeneticists and centralized frameworks such as Open Tree of Life, but insufficient effort from stakeholders has so far hampered this promising approach. The resultant unavailability of synthesis phylogenies is an unfortunate situation given the numerous practical usages of phylogenies in the near term and against the backdrop of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. To resolve this issue, we establish a new online hub that centralizes the collation of relevant phylogenetic data and provides the resultant synthesis molecular phylogenies. This is achieved through key developments in a proposed pipeline for the construction of a species‐level insect phylogeny. The functionality of the framework is demonstrated through the construction of a highly supported, species‐comprehensive phylogeny of Diptera, built from integrated omics data, COI DNA barcodes, and a compiled database of over 100 standardized, published Diptera phylogenies. Machine‐readable forms of the phylogeny (and subsets thereof) are publicly available at insectphylo.org, a new public repository for species‐comprehensive phylogenies for biological research.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in July had an enormous impact on politics in Japan in 2022, with subsequent recriminations regarding connections between ruling party lawmakers and the controversial Unification Church new religious movement leading to public outcry and forcing Prime Minister Kishida to remove several high‐profile Ministers from his Cabinet. There was contentious debate over whether a state funeral should be held for Abe, and a new law was passed restricting the fundraising activities of religious groups like the Unification Church. Meanwhile, Japan continued to slowly roll back restrictions introduced to combat COVID‐19, finally reopening its borders in October. The Russian invasion of Ukraine provoked protest from the Japanese government and contributed, along with a major drop in the value of the yen to the US dollar, to rising consumer prices, with inflation reaching a 42‐year high in October.

AbstractCOVID‐19 compounded existing barriers to healthcare for rural patients. We completed a retrospective chart review of patients receiving Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme subsidised biologics at a Modified Monash Model 3 dermatology practice during the pandemic and examined factors contributing to successful continuation of care, particularly teledermatology. Our experience is instructive in the provision of medical dermatology to regional patients.

Published: June 2023

SummaryThis retrospective cohort study on adults undergoing colectomy from 2010 to 2019 used linked primary (Clinical Practice Research Datalink), and secondary (Hospital Episode Statistics) care data to determine the prevalence of persistent postoperative opioid use following colectomy, stratified by pre‐admission opioid exposure, and identify associated predictors. Based on pre‐admission opioid exposure, patients were categorised as opioid‐naïve, currently exposed (opioid prescription 0–6 months before admission) and previously exposed (opioid prescription within 7–12 months before admission). Persistent postoperative opioid use was defined as requiring an opioid prescription within 90 days of discharge, along with one or more opioid prescriptions 91–180 days after hospital discharge. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to obtain odds ratios for predictors of persistent postoperative opioid use. Among the 93,262 patients, 15,081 (16.2%) were issued at least one opioid prescription within 90 days of discharge. Of these, 6791 (45.0%) were opioid‐naïve, 7528 (49.9%) were currently exposed and 762 (5.0%) were previously exposed. From the whole cohort, 7540 (8.1%) developed persistent postoperative opioid use. Patients with pre‐operative opioid exposure had the highest persistent use: 5317 (40.4%) from the currently exposed group; 305 (9.8%) from the previously exposed group; and 1918 (2.5%) from the opioid‐naïve group. The odds of developing persistent opioid use were higher among individuals who used long‐acting opioid formulations in the 180 days before colectomy than those who used short‐acting formulations (odds ratio 3.41 (95%CI 3.07–3.77)). Predictors of persistent opioid use included: previous opioid exposure; high deprivation index; multiple comorbidities; use of long‐acting opioids; white race; and open surgery. Minimally invasive surgical approaches were associated with lower odds of persistent opioid use and may represent a modifiable risk factor.

AbstractPartnerships between organizations that engage in land protection are promoted as a way to improve the efficiency of limited conservation budgets. However, limited empirical exploration of the types of organizations involved in partnering and their organizational objectives precludes a holistic understanding of how to integrate partnering into planning for improved conservation outcomes. Using data on protected areas from California, United States, we explored the frequency and extent of partnering between managing organizations. In addition, we analyzed mission statements of partnering and non‐partnering organizations to explore whether organizational objectives were related to observed partnering behavior. We estimated that partnerships managed about 7 million acres, comprising 8% of total protected land area, in California. Furthermore, the organizations that we observed partnering tended to use more environmental themed language in their mission statements, while non‐partnering organizations tended to use language with socioeconomic themes. These results provide empirical evidence of partnering and support further exploration of it as a potentially important mechanism to improve conservation outcomes. In addition, they suggest that current partnering patterns and future opportunities to expand partnerships in protected land management likely depend on organizations pursuing wildlife and nature focused conservation objectives, and to a lesser extent socioeconomic objectives.

AbstractObjectiveIn the management of epilepsy, there is an ongoing quest to discover new biomarkers to improve the diagnostic process, the monitoring of disease progression, and the evaluation of treatment responsiveness. In this regard, biochemical traceability in biofluids is notably absent in contrast to other diseases. In the present preclinical study, we investigated the potential of neurofilament light chain (NfL) as a possible diagnostic and response fluid biomarker for epilepsy.MethodsWe gained insights into NfL levels during the various phases of the intrahippocampal kainic acid mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy—namely, the status epilepticus (SE) and the chronic phase with spontaneous seizures. To this end, NfL levels were determined directly in the cerebral interstitial fluid (ISF) with cerebral open flow microperfusion as sampling technique, as well as in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. Lastly, we assessed whether NfL levels diminished upon curtailing SE with diazepam and ketamine.ResultsNfL levels are higher during SE in both cerebral ISF and plasma in kainic acid‐treated mice compared to sham‐injected mice. Additionally, ISF and plasma NfL levels are lower in mice treated with diazepam and ketamine to stop SE compared with the vehicle‐treated mice. In the chronic phase with spontaneous seizures, higher NfL levels could only be detected in ISF and CSF samples, and not in plasma. No correlations could be found between NfL levels and seizure burden, nor with immunohistological markers for neurodegeneration/inflammation.SignificanceOur findings demonstrate the translational potential of NfL as a blood‐based fluid biomarker for SE. This is less evident for chronic epilepsy, as in this case higher NfL levels could only be detected in ISF and CSF, and not in plasma, acknowledging the invasive nature of CSF sampling in chronic epilepsy follow‐up.
On the (almost) stochastic dominance of cryptocurrency factor portfolios and implications for cryptocurrency asset pricing

Published: June 2023

AbstractCryptocurrency returns are highly nonnormal, casting doubt on the standard performance metrics. We apply almost stochastic dominance, which does not require any assumption about the return distribution or degree of risk aversion. From 29 long–short cryptocurrency factor portfolios, we find eight that dominate our four benchmarks. Their returns cannot be fully explained by the three‐factor coin model of Liu et al. So we develop a new three‐factor model where momentum is replaced by a mispricing factor based on size and risk‐adjusted momentum, which significantly improves pricing performance.
Tracing environmental sustainability footprints in cross‐border M&A activity

Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study documents the first large‐scale empirical evidence on the effects of differences in countries' environmental sustainability (ES) on cross‐border merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. Using 34,088 cross‐border mergers across 44 countries, we find that greater ES differences between acquirer and target countries stimulate the intensity of cross‐border mergers. The acquirer firms experience higher cumulative abnormal returns around merger announcements and pay higher merger premiums. Consistent with the pollution haven hypothesis, results on value effect are more pronounced for M&A deals in highly polluting industries such as petroleum, transportation and mining. The results are robust to a battery of robustness tests.
Amplifying inequalities: Gendered perceptions of work flexibility and the division of household labor during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Authors: Rinaldo Rachel , Whalen Ian Michael 
Published: June 2023

AbstractDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic in the US, mothers have taken on more of the responsibility for childcare (including remote schooling) and housework. How did dual‐income couples negotiate domestic labor during the pandemic in ways that ended up with women taking on a larger role? Based on in‐depth interviews with 33 parents, we found that men's jobs were often discussed as being more demanding, particularly in their need for protected time, or requiring rigid time commitments, while women's work was considered more flexible and able to accommodate childcare needs. We argue that gendered perceptions about the flexibility of paid work shaped couple's negotiations over the division of labor. While many interviewees considered men's jobs as “simply more demanding,” we propose that this is a gendered perception that reflects entrenched cultural norms that associate masculinity with paid work and thus men's paid work is prioritized in many families.
Obesity and survival in a national cohort of incident hemodialysis patients: An analysis of the Brazilian Dialysis Registry

Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroductionA phenomenon called the “obesity paradox” has consistently been reported in several cohorts of patients on chronic hemodialysis. In this setting, a higher body mass index (BMI) is paradoxically associated with better survival. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of BMI on mortality in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis using the Brazilian Dialysis Registry.MethodsThis was a retrospective national cohort study with data on incident hemodialysis patients collected between January 2011 to December 2018. Those aged <18 or > 80 years were excluded from the study. The variables studied were the clinical and laboratory data regularly collected at the dialysis units. The variable of primary interest was BMI, represented as the median of the entire dialysis treatment and stratified into four ranges according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The primary outcome was death within 4 years. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to test associations with mortality.FindingsThe analyzed sample consisted of 5489 patients from 73 centers in five regions of the country. Of these, 5.9% were underweight, 48.3% were of normal weight, 31.0% were overweight, and 14.7% were obese. The 4‐year survival rates in these BMI ranges were 58%, 70%, 75%, and 80%, respectively. The probability of survival for each BMI extract was significantly different from that in the normal‐weight range (p < 0.05). In the fully adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression model, BMI > 24.9 kg/m2 remained an independent protective factor for mortality (HR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.62–0.95, p = 0.016).DiscussionIn Brazil, being overweight and obese are protective factors for survival in the chronic hemodialysis population.
