Corporate social responsibility and satisfaction in service industries: a systematic review and integrative framework
Authors: Mohammadi Elaheh , Vagnani Gianluca , Maleki Hossein 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe present study aims to explore the concepts involved in the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer and employee satisfaction in service industries.Design/methodology/approachThe research literature over the recent decade has been analyzed using a systematic review. Through thematic analysis and coding the findings of the final selected articles, the authors presented an integrative framework of the relationship between CSR and the satisfaction of critical stakeholders of service companies, namely, customers and employees.FindingsThe research framework encompasses six main categories called CSR, satisfaction, moderators, conditional variables, contextual variables and satisfaction outcomes. All categories but CSR are divided into customer and employee sections to make the research framework further comprehensible.Practical implicationsThe results show that in service industries, employees need as much attention as customers, and CSR efforts to satisfy customers and employees can lead to several positive outputs for companies.Social implicationsFailure of service companies to commit to their social responsibility may harm the environment, society’s ethics and laws and long-term corporate profitability. On the other hand, adherence to CSR can lead to social development and economic growth.Originality/valueThis study is one of the most comprehensive studies in the field of CSR and satisfaction, which simultaneously considers the two key stakeholders of a service company. In addition, it provides valuable avenues for further studies.
Circadian rhythms of hosts and their gut microbiomes: Implications for animal physiology and ecology

Abstract

Daily light–dark cycles shape the circadian physiology and behaviour of nearly all organisms, with variation in circadian phenotypes having cascading effects on individual fitness, species interactions and species co‐evolution.

Recent evidence that circadian rhythms in host immunity and metabolism are synchronised by the gut microbiota suggest that the circadian dynamics of gut microbes are a crucial component of their function. However, there remains little knowledge or understanding of the diurnal dynamics of gut microbiomes in natural populations or the consequences for host physiology and ecology.

Here, we summarise the hallmarks of gut microbiota oscillations reported to date and the mechanisms by which they synchronise rhythms in host immunity and metabolism. We outline the consequences for diverse biological processes such as host pathogen susceptibility and seasonal switches in metabolism, and discuss how the breakdown of these circadian interactions, for example during senescence or because of light pollution, may affect wildlife infection risk and disease.

We also provide practical guidelines for the measurement of microbial oscillations in wildlife, highlighting that whilst faecal samples of wild animals are rarely available over a 24‐h period, characterising even parts of the gut microbial cycle can be informative.

An improved understanding of how gut microbial diurnal rhythms manifest in wildlife is essential to fully comprehend their role in shaping variation in host circadian phenotypes and the consequences for host physiology and ecology.

Unknown Unknowns: Knightian Uncertainty and Corporate Opportunistic Earnings Management
Authors: Yao Shouyu , Xie Xiaochen , Boubaker Sabri , Sensoy Ahmet , Cheng Feiyang 
Published: January 2023

AbstractUncertainty is inherent in the real world. Faced with Knightian uncertainty caused by many extreme events, this paper focuses on the analysis of corporate opportunistic earnings management behaviour under the unknown unknowns framework. This paper finds that with an increase in market Knightian uncertainty, corporations will significantly adopt both accrual earnings management and real earnings management. More importantly, when compared with upward earnings management, the results indicate that Knightian uncertainty will lead corporations to implement more downward earnings management. Our results are consistent with the big bath theory, which is also verified through the adjustment of non‐recurring profit and loss accounts. To understand the real process of earnings management, we also discuss the strategic choice behaviour of earnings management under different heterogeneous situations.
ANCA‐associated refractory vasculitis with multiple systemic involvement: A rare case report
Authors: Kharouf Fadi , Gomori John Moshe , Gur Chamutal 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWe report the case of a 65 year old female patient, presenting with a combination of bilateral hearing loss, otalgia, and hyperacusis. Pure tone audiometry revealed mixed bilateral hearing loss. Conventional cranial imaging tests failed to show a significant brain pathology, but fat‐suppressed T1‐weighted gadolinium‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scan displayed a diffuse infiltrative skull base process, extending from the nasopharynx to the jugular fossa, and encasing the internal carotid artery. The latter findings, besides elevated inflammatory markers and a positive perinuclear anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p‐ANCA) led to the diagnosis of ANCA‐associated vasculitis. Additional disease manifestations sequentially appeared, including a right peripheral nerve palsy, aortitis, hepatitis, peripheral neuropathy, and uveitis. Therapy with corticosteroids, azathioprine, and then cyclophosphamide brought no evident benefit, but rituximab led to impressive clinical and radiologic improvement.
On the monetary policy in an economy with banks endogenously creating money
Authors: Wang X. Henry , Yang Bill , Young Alex 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper attempts to employ a microeconomic model (industrial‐organization approach to banking) to formalize the concept that banks in an economy may also unilaterally create money, at least initially, rather than passively multiplying the base money exogenously issued by the Central Bank in the money creation process. It shows that in equilibrium, banks may indeed create money (bank deposits) when making loans without relying on the newly issued base money from the Central Bank. Instead, the endogenously created money by banks would cause the Central Bank to endogenously adjust base money to hit the target policy interest rate.
Black Belonging, White Belonging: Primitive Accumulation in South Africa's Private Nature Reserves
Authors: Thakholi Lerato , Koot Stasja 
Published: January 2023

AbstractEvictions have been shown to be a mechanism of primitive accumulation in nature conservation. This paper adds an historical analysis to the discussion on primitive accumulation in conservation by exploring the seemingly innocuous mechanism of White belonging to land in South Africa's private nature reserves. Contemporary articulations of White belonging are replete with stories and images of White male “pioneers” from the colonial era who, upon arrival in “empty lands”, were able to create economies out of nothing. Such representations of history on private nature reserve websites and other promotional material invisibilise Black belonging and legitimise private conservation. By illuminating the inconsistencies in the empty lands narrative and the legacies of three championed conservation pioneers from the 19th century, this paper argues that White belonging is a mechanism of primitive accumulation, while Black belonging continues to be expressed in various ways in contemporary South Africa.
Heme oxygenase‐1 prevents non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis through modulating mitochondrial quality control

Published: January 2023

AbstractAimNonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and lacks effective treatment options. Heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) is a critical defense against oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver injury. This study aims to investigate the protective role and underlying mechanisms of HO‐1 in NASH pathogenesis.MethodsThe hepatocyte‐specific HO‐1 knockout (HO‐1HEPKO) mice on a C57BL/6J background (HO‐1fl/fl/Alb‐Cre) were generated and fed a high‐fat/western‐style diet (HFD) or methionine‐choline‐deficient diet (MCD). Changes in mitochondrial ultrastructure were observed by transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. A mitochondrial PCR array was used to identify the crucial genes associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.ResultsHepatocyte‐specific HO‐1HEPKO mice developed steatohepatitis with severe steatosis, ballooning, and necroinflammation. Dysregulated hepatic expression of mitochondria‐related proteins, including DRP1, Tomm20, MFN1 and MFN2 were detected in NASH animals. Ultrastructural mitochondrial damage was observed in HO‐1HEPKO mice. Mitochondrial dysfunction was recapitulated in HO‐1‐knockdown cells in vitro, as evidenced by decreased membrane potential, reduced ATP content, and mtDNA damage. Conversely, HO‐1 overexpression restored these changes in vitro. Mechanistically, HO‐1 deficiency reduced the inhibitory effect on Tomm20, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, and thereby causing steatohepatitis.ConclusionsHO‐1 attenuates diet‐induced steatohepatitis by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction, indicating that HO‐1 may constitute a potential therapeutic target for NASH.
Patient autonomy and withholding information
Authors: Rees Melissa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDisclosure in clinical practice is aimed at promoting patient autonomy, usually culminating in patient choice (e.g., to consent to an operation or not, or between different medications). In medical ethics, there is an implicit background assumption that knowing more about (X) automatically translates to greater, or more genuine, autonomy with respect to one's choices involving (X). I challenge this assumption by arguing that in rare cases, withholding information can promote a patient's autonomy (understood as the capacity for rational choice in alignment with one's values and goals).
Extending exploratory diagnostic classification models: Inferring the effect of covariates
Authors: Yigit Hulya Duygu , Culpepper Steven Andrew 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDiagnostic models provide a statistical framework for designing formative assessments by classifying student knowledge profiles according to a collection of fine‐grained attributes. The context and ecosystem in which students learn may play an important role in skill mastery, and it is therefore important to develop methods for incorporating student covariates into diagnostic models. Including covariates may provide researchers and practitioners with the ability to evaluate novel interventions or understand the role of background knowledge in attribute mastery. Existing research is designed to include covariates in confirmatory diagnostic models, which are also known as restricted latent class models. We propose new methods for including covariates in exploratory RLCMs that jointly infer the latent structure and evaluate the role of covariates on performance and skill mastery. We present a novel Bayesian formulation and report a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm using a Metropolis‐within‐Gibbs algorithm for approximating the model parameter posterior distribution. We report Monte Carlo simulation evidence regarding the accuracy of our new methods and present results from an application that examines the role of student background knowledge on the mastery of a probability data set.

AbstractUplift of the Tian Shan range modified regional climate during Cenozoic aridification in Central Asia. This study presents facies analyses and Neogene oxygen and carbon isotopic records from magnetostratigraphically dated terrestrial sedimentary sections on the southern side of the intermontane Issyk‐Kul basin in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan and 26Al/10Be isochron burial ages from the southern and eastern sides of the basin. The δ18O and δ13C data show a positive ca. 2‰ shift in values between ca. 8 and 7 Ma and a change from a negative to a positive trend. This change is attributed to the upwind growth of the Kyrgyz, Kungey and Trans Ili (Zaili) ranges, which diverted the westerlies, thereby changing the Issyk‐Kul basin from a windward to a leeward position, enhancing aridification and establishing the modern‐day spring and summer precipitation regime within the basin. Two 4 to 5 Ma 26Al/10Be isochron burial ages constrain the onset of Sharpyl Dak deposition on the eastern side of the basin; southward paleocurrent directions there suggest the eastward growth of the Kungey range in the Pliocene. Increased subsidence on the southern side of the basin and local tectonically induced river system reorganization led to the commencement of lake formation at ca. 5 Ma, followed by a ca. 2 Ma local depositional hiatus. The transition from sandstones of the Chu sedimentary group to conglomerates of the Sharpyl Dak group, marking a change from fluvial‐alluvial deposits to a proximal alluvial fan, is dated at 2.6–2.8 Ma by 26Al/10Be isochron burial dating on the southern side of the basin, driven either by tectonics or Northern Hemisphere glaciation. This study concludes that the late Miocene–Pliocene northward growth of Tian Shan significantly altered environmental conditions within the range, preventing the moisture‐bearing westerlies from reaching the intermontane Issyk‐Kul basin and promoting lake formation and expansion.
Fostering supportive interactions in the neighbourhood: Using visualized narratives
Authors: Rumping Sanne M. , Fukkink Ruben G. , Boendermaker Leonieke 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe use of art (e.g. visualized narratives) in social work may stimulate dialogue between community members about family support in their neighbourhood. The Visualized Narratives on Parenting Interactions in the Neighbourhood (VN‐PIN) were developed in order to foster this dialogue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the VN‐PIN in social work practice and to gain insight in mechanisms that stimulate dialogues supported by visualizations. A qualitative process evaluation was conducted to explore the use of the VN‐PIN in various urban settings. We observed meetings (N = 14) where the VN‐PIN was applied and interviewed professionals and community members (N = 81). The results of this study show that the VN‐PIN intervention gives parents a voice and allows them to recognize and reflect on their own parenting behaviour, thereby contributing to mutual exchanges in a supportive community. The conclusion of this study is that the VN‐PIN is a useful intervention that social work professionals can use to foster dialogues about parenting within diverse contexts in super‐diverse neighbourhoods. The intervention fosters a supportive structure to share experiences of various community members. Future research is needed to further evaluate the experiences and satisfaction of community members with the intervention.

AbstractAimsCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a major cause of stroke in young and middle‐aged adults. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of post‐CVT employability decline and identify factors associated with unemployment.MethodsWe identified patients first diagnosed with acute/subacute CVT at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University (January 2018 to June 2021) and invited all survivors to a clinical 6‐months follow‐up visit after onset. Baseline data were collected from all patients at admission. A modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and employment status were used to assess functional outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent factors associated with unemployment.ResultsA total of 303 CVT patients were eligible for this study, 131 (42.23%) patients could not return to work 6‐month after discharge. After adjusting for age and sex in multivariate analysis, motor deficits, aphasia, mental disorders, CVT recurrence, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission, and mRS 0–2 at 6‐month follow‐up were independently associated with employment after CVT. Among 263 patients whose mRS showed a favorable outcome, 102 patients were unable to return to their previous work and the risk factors for impaired ability to return to work were aphasia and CVT recurrence.ConclusionsImpaired employability after CVT was associated with motor deficits, aphasia, mental status disorders, and NIHSS score at admission. Even if they recover from CVT without physical disability, patients with a good functional prognosis have a higher risk of employment failure due to their higher rates of aphasia and CVT recurrence.

Published: January 2023

AbstractIntroductionGlobally, hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a leading cause of liver disease. People who inject drugs (PWID) are at greater risk than the general population of contracting HBV. This risk could depend on societal factors in different countries. We investigated the associations between country‐level chronic HBV prevalence in PWID with national indicators of development and prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV).MethodsWe used global systematic review data on chronic HBV prevalence (hepatitis B surface antigen‐positive) among PWID and country‐level sociodemographic characteristics from online databases. National random‐effects meta‐analysis estimates of HBV prevalence were the outcome in linear regression models testing for associations with country‐level characteristics.ResultsThe study included 131,710 PWID from 304 estimates in 55 countries: the pooled HBV prevalence among PWID in the countries analysed was 4.5% (95% CI 3.9–5.1), the highest regional pooled prevalence was in East and Southeast Asia (17.6% [13.3–22.3]), and the lowest was in Western Europe (1.7% [1.4–2.1]). In multivariable models, no indicators of development were associated with HBV prevalence, but there was evidence of positive associations between HBV prevalence in the general population and among PWID, and evidence of HIV and HCV prevalence in PWID being associated with HBV prevalence in PWID: multivariable coefficients 0.03 (95% CI 0.01–0.04); p < 0.001, and 0.01 (95% CI 0.00–0.03); p = 0.01, respectively.Discussion and ConclusionsHBV prevalence among PWID was associated with HIV and HCV prevalence among PWID and background HBV prevalence in the general population, highlighting the need for improving harm reduction in PWID and implementation of HBV vaccination, especially where HBV is endemic.
pastclim 1.2: an R package to easily access and use paleoclimatic reconstructions

Published: January 2023

The recent development of continuous paleoclimatic reconstructions covering hundreds of thousands of years paved the way for a large number of studies from disciplines ranging from paleoecology to archaeology, conservation to population genetics, macroevolution to anthropology and human evolution to linguistics. Unfortunately, (paleo)climatic data can be challenging to extract and analyze for scholars unfamiliar with such specific file formats.Here we present pastclim, an R package facilitating the access and use of paleoclimatic reconstructions. It currently includes two of such datasets, covering respectively the last 120 000 and 800 000 years, and a vignette provides instructions on how to include additional datasets.The package contains a set of functions to quickly and easily recover the climate for time periods of interest either for the whole world or specific areas, extract data from locations scattered in space and/or time, retrieve time series from individual sites, and manage the ice or land coverage, offering a handy platform to include the climate of the past into existing or new analyses and pipelines.
Multiple routes to immigration scepticism: The association between individual grievances and anti‐immigrant attitudes in Canada, Germany and the USA
Authors: Stockemer Daniel , Halikiopoulou Daphne 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis article theorizes and tests the association between the ego‐tropic and socio‐tropic dimensions of three sets of grievances, that is, economic, value‐based and security‐related, and anti‐immigrant attitudes using data from an original survey fielded in Canada, Germany and the USA. Our analysis confirms the presence of multiple paths towards anti‐immigration attitudes. Our contribution is threefold. First, we offer a nuanced understanding of the complexity of immigration scepticism and shed light on its different dimensions, including the under‐researched personal value‐based and collective security‐related. Second, we make an empirical contribution by confirming the multi‐faceted nature of anti‐immigrant attitudes using data from an original survey tailored specifically to our research questions. This allows us to examine each set of grievances independently of each other and independently of anti‐immigrant attitudes. Third, our survey enables us to identify country‐specific dynamics by testing the relationship between individual grievances and anti‐immigrant attitudes in diverse political settings.
