An evaluation of customer due diligence and related anti-money laundering measures in the United Kingdom
Authors: Chitimira Howard , Munedzi Sharon 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Customer due diligence measures that are employed in the United Kingdom (UK) to detect and combat money laundering are discussed. The UK adopted a progressive regulatory and enforcement framework to combat money laundering which relies, inter alia, on the use of customer due diligence measures to regulate and curb the occurrence of money laundering activities in its financial institutions and financial markets. However, other regulatory measures that could have contributed to the effective combating money laundering in the UK will not be explored in detail since the article is focused on the reliance and use of customer due diligence measures to curb money laundering activities. Accordingly, the strength, flaws and weaknesses of the UK anti-money laundering regulatory and enforcement framework are examined. Lastly, possible recommendations to address such flaws and weaknesses are provided.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper discusses customer due diligence measures that are used in the UK to detect and combat money laundering.

Findings
It is hoped that policymakers and other relevant persons will use the recommendations provided in the paper to enhance the curbing of money laundering in the UK.

Research limitations/implications
The paper does not provide empirical research.

Practical implications
The study is useful to all policymakers, lawyers, law students and regulatory bodies in the UK.

Social implications
The study seeks to curb money laundering in the UK society globally.

Originality/value
The study is original research on the use of customer due diligence measures to detect and combat money laundering in the UK.
Knowledge sharing via common auditors: evidence from corporate R&D investment
Authors: Yang Seunghee , Ha Wonsuk 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Despite the importance of research and development (R&D), information on its value is not readily available to managers. This study aims to explore the role of common auditors, who audit multiple peer firms in the product market, in clients’ R&D investment decisions. This study highlights common auditors as information intermediaries who affect corporate R&D investment, focusing on the importance of knowledge resources in R&D investment and the limited ability of peers’ public information to communicate the value of R&D.

Design/methodology/approach
This study employs pairwise data of firm-peer-year observations to identify a common auditor who provides audit services to the focal firm and its peer firm. This study examines how a firm’s R&D investment changes when the firm’s incumbent auditor provides audit services to peers and analyzes various factors that moderate the effect of common auditors.

Findings
Peer firms audited by the same auditor make similar R&D investment decisions. This effect is more pronounced when the auditor specializes more in auditing R&D, when the auditor has a long-term client relationship, and when the firms exhibit a higher level of demand for incremental information relevant to R&D investment. Consistent with the beneficial role of common auditors, firms that are more responsive to auditor-provided information engage more actively in innovation activities in subsequent years.

Originality/value
This study deepens the understanding of how networks created by common auditors facilitate information flow among client firms and shape these firms’ R&D investment decisions.
Evaluating a transitional care program for the oldest adults: results from the quantitative phase of a mixed-methods study

Published: March 2023

Purpose
This quantitative phase of a mixed-methods study aims to describe the effect of the Transitional Care Bridge (TCB) programme on functional decline, mortality, health-care utilisation and health outcomes compared to usual care in a regional hospital in the Netherlands.

Design/methodology/approach
In a pre- and post-cohort study, patients aged ≥70 years, admitted to the hospital for ≥48 h and discharged home with an Identification of Seniors at Risk score of ≥2, were included. The TCB programme, started before discharge, encompassed six visits by the community nurse (CN). Data were obtained from the hospital registry and by three questionnaires over a three months period, addressing activities of daily living (ADL), self-rated health, self-rated quality of life and health-care utilisation.

Findings
In total, 100 patients were enrolled in this study, 50 patients in the TCB group and 50 patients in the usual care group. After three months, 36.7% was dependent on ADL in the TCB group compared to 47.1% in the usual care group. Mean number of visits by the CN in the TCB group was 3.8. Although the TCB group had a lower mortality, this study did not find any statistically significant differences in health outcomes and health-care utilisation.

Research limitations/implications
Challenges in the delivery of the programme may have influenced patient outcomes. More research is needed on implementation of evidence-based programmes in smaller research settings. A qualitative phase of the study needs to address these outcomes and explore the perspectives of health professionals and patients on the delivery of the programme.

Originality/value
This study provides valuable information on the transitional care programme in a smaller setting.
Afro-Cuban micro-mobilities: examining processes of movement, in other words
Authors: Espirito Santo Diana 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this piece is to look at religious mobilities through their micro-cosmological particulars, using Afro-Cuban religious processes and espiritismo cruzado as case studies.

Design/methodology/approach
The author asks, first, what technology is in this context, and how it circumscribes what emerges as cosmology (persons, deities and messages), and second, what knowledge is and how it is experienced, particularly in espiritista rituals.

Findings
The author argues that we must reconceive of both, which in the Cuban case, defy common sense assumptions that divide message from transmitter, and knowledge from knower.

Originality/value
Technology here can be cosmogonic (world building) rather than mediatic (serving as a medium), and knowledge, ever emergent, can be the spirit (muerto) as well as the messages it brings.
Ecological and evolutionary effects of crop diversity decrease yield variability
Authors: López‐Angulo Jesús , Stefan Laura , Engbersen Nadine , Schöb Christian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Higher plant species diversity decreases variability of plant community productivity. The stabilizing effect of plant diversity can result from species‐specific responses to environmental fluctuations and from shifts in competitive hierarchies. Evolutionary adaptation of species to surrounding plant diversity could further decrease productivity variability.

We used a three‐year dataset from a crop diversity experiment with seven species to assess the effect of crop diversity and selection history on temporal variability of yield.

We found contrasting patterns of temporal variability: Yield of species varied more in mixtures than in monocultures over years. However, at community‐level, we found lower yield variability in crop mixtures compared to monocultures, although only in combination with fertilizer application under Mediterranean climate. Furthermore, we found that a mixture selection history can increase yield productivity and decrease its variability, although only in monocultures. This suggests that the interspecific interactions among crops in mixtures act as an evolutionary selective force, promoting niche complementarity.

Synthesis. Our results highlight the ecological and evolutionary role of plant interactions in crop mixtures, which can affect yield stability, while also reflecting on the importance of climate and resource availability in modifying the diversity‐stability relationship.

Published: March 2023

AbstractPhages depend on their bacterial hosts to replicate. The habitat, density and genetic diversity of host populations are therefore key factors in phage ecology, but our ability to explore their biology depends on the isolation of a diverse and representative collection of phages from different sources. Here, we compared two populations of marine bacterial hosts and their phages collected during a time series sampling program in an oyster farm. The population of Vibrio crassostreae, a species associated specifically to oysters, was genetically structured into clades of near clonal strains, leading to the isolation of closely related phages forming large modules in phage–bacterial infection networks. For Vibrio chagasii, which blooms in the water column, a lower number of closely related hosts and a higher diversity of isolated phages resulted in small modules in the phage–bacterial infection network. Over time, phage load was correlated with V. chagasii abundance, indicating a role of host blooms in driving phage abundance. Genetic experiments further demonstrated that these phage blooms can generate epigenetic and genetic variability that can counteract host defence systems. These results highlight the importance of considering both the environmental dynamics and the genetic structure of the host when interpreting phage–bacteria networks.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundSpinal astrocytes contribute to chronic itch via sensitization of itch‐specific neurons expressing gastrin‐releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). However, whether microglia–neuron interactions contribute to itch remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore how microglia interact with GRPR+ neurons and promote chronic itch.MethodsRNA sequencing, quantitative real‐time PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, RNAscope ISH, pharmacologic and genetic approaches were performed to examine the roles of spinal NLRP3 (The NOD‐like receptor family, pyrin‐containing domain 3) inflammasome activation and IL‐1β‐IL1R1 signaling in chronic itch. Grpr‐eGFP and Grpr KO mice were used to investigate microglia–GRPR+ neuron interactions.ResultsWe observed NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL‐1β production in spinal microglia under chronic itch conditions. Blockade of microglial activation and the NLRP3/caspase‐1/IL‐1β axis attenuated chronic itch and neuronal activation. Type 1 IL‐1 receptor (IL‐1R1) was expressed in GRPR+ neurons, which are essential for the development of chronic itch. Our studies also find that IL‐1β+ microglia are localized in close proximity to GRPR+ neurons. Consistently, intrathecal injection of IL1R1 antagonist or exogenous IL‐1β indicate that the IL‐1β‐IL‐1R1 signaling pathway enhanced the activation of GRPR+ neurons. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the microglial NLRP3/caspase‐1/IL‐1β axis contributes to several different chronic itches triggered by small molecules and protein allergens from the environment and drugs.ConclusionOur findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism in which microglia enhances the activation of GRPR+ neurons through the NLRP3/caspase‐1/IL‐1β/IL1R1 axis. These results will provide new insights into the pathophysiology of pruritus and novel therapeutic strategies for patients with chronic itch.
Skills scarcity and export intensity
Authors: Perroni Carlo , Suverato Davide 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe describe a model of trade with skills‐based product differentiation and non‐proportional trade costs that predicts a positive correlation between firms' export intensity, the price of their exports and the wages they pay to their workers. In equilibrium, firms that employ workers with comparatively scarcer skills export a larger proportion of their output, pay higher wages and charge higher prices. In line with empirical evidence, the model predicts that trade liberalization can cause the distribution of earnings to become more polarized, with patterns that reflect the heterogeneous effects of trade liberalization on firms' export performance.

Published: March 2023

AbstractUnderstanding an opposing player's behaviours and weaknesses is often the key to winning a badminton game. This study presents a system to extract game data from broadcast badminton videos, and visualize the extracted data to help coaches and players develop effective tactics. Specifically, we apply state‐of‐the‐art machine learning methods to partition a broadcast video into segments, in which each video segment shows a badminton rally. Next, we detect players' feet in each video frame and transform the player positions into the court coordinate system. Finally, we detect hit frames in each rally, in which the shuttle moves towards the opposite directions. By visualizing the extracted data, our system conveys when and where players hit the shuttle in historical games. Since players tend to smash or drop shuttles under a specific location, we provide users with interactive tools to filter data and focus on the distributions conditioned by player positions. This strategy also reduces visual clutter. Besides, our system plots the shuttle hitting distributions side‐by‐side, enabling visual comparison and analysis of player behaviours under different conditions. The results and the use cases demonstrate the feasibility of our system.
Korean infants' perceptual responses to Korean and Western music based on musical experience
Authors: Ko Eon‐Suk , McDonald Margarethe 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study investigates infants’ enculturation to music in a bicultural musical environment. We tested 49 12‐ to 30‐month‐old Korean infants on their preference for Korean or Western traditional songs played by haegeum and cello. Korean infants have access to both Korean and Western music in their environment as captured on a survey of infants’ daily exposure to music at home. Our results show that infants with less daily exposure to any kind of music at home listened longer to all music types. The infants’ overall listening time did not differ between Korean and Western music and instruments. Rather, those with high exposure to Western music listened longer to Korean music played with haegeum. Moreover, older toddlers (aged 24–30 months) maintained a longer interest in songs of an origin with which they are less familiar, indicating an emerging orientation towards novelty. Early orientation of Korean infants toward the novel experience of music listening is likely driven by perceptual curiosity, which drives exploratory behavior that diminishes with continued exposure. On the other hand, older infants’ orientation towards novel stimuli is led by epistemic curiosity, which motivates an infant to acquire new knowledge. Korean infants’ lack of differential listening likely reflects their protracted period of enculturation to ambient music due to complex input. Further, older infants’ novelty‐orientation is consistent with findings in bilingual infants’ orientation towards novel information. Additional analysis showed a long‐term effect of music exposure on infants’ vocabulary development. A video abstract of this article can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kllt0KA1tJkResearch Highlights
Korean infants showed novelty‐oriented attention to music such that infants with less daily exposure to music at home showed longer listening times to music.
12‐ to 30‐month‐old Korean infants did not show differential listening to Korean versus Western music or instruments, suggesting a protracted period of perceptual openness.
24‐ to 30‐month‐old Korean toddlers’ listening behavior indicated emerging novelty‐preference, exhibiting delayed enculturation to ambient music compared to Western infants reported in earlier research.
18‐month‐old Korean infants with a greater weekly exposure to music had higher CDI scores a year later, consistent with the well‐known music‐to‐language transfer effect.
Climatic niche shift and distribution of Melanagromyza sojae under current and future climate scenarios: does this species pose a risk to soybean production?
Authors: Marchioro Cesar Augusto , Krechemer Flavia da Silva 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe soybean stem fly, Melanagromyza sojae (Zehntner) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is an example of an insect pest with a restricted distribution that in the last few decades has been spreading to regions beyond its native range and causing economic losses. We evaluated whether M. sojae shifted its niche during biological invasion and used ecological niche models to estimate its global distribution under current and future climate conditions. In addition, we assessed whether the soybean stem fly represents a risk for major soybean‐producing countries, using Brazil as an example. Our analyses suggest that M. sojae has expanded its niche to new environments. Suitable habitats were predicted in all continents, including regions where this species has not yet been reported. Several soybean‐producing countries and all Brazilian growing areas are within the suitable ranges estimated for M. sojae. Also, most areas estimated as suitable under current climate conditions will remain so until at least 2080. These findings are important for invasion risk assessments aiming to prevent the spread of this species to major soybean‐producing areas.

AbstractBrain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tropomyosin kinase receptor B (TRKB) are key regulators of activity‐dependent plasticity in the brain. TRKB is the target for both slow‐ and rapid‐acting antidepressants and BDNF–TRKB system mediates the plasticity‐inducing effects of antidepressants through their downstream targets. Particularly, the protein complexes that regulate the trafficking and synapse recruitment of TRKB receptors might be crucial in this process. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of TRKB with the postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95). We found that antidepressants increase the TRKB:PSD95 interaction in adult mouse hippocampus. Fluoxetine, a slow‐acting antidepressant, increases this interaction only after a long‐term (7 days) treatment, while (2R,6R)‐hydroxynorketamine (RHNK), an active metabolite of rapid‐acting antidepressant ketamine, achieves this within a short treatment regimen (3 days). Moreover, the drug‐induced changes of TRKB:PSD95 interaction correlate with drug latency in behaviour, observed in mice subjected to an object location memory test (OLM). While silencing of PSD95 by viral delivery of shRNA in hippocampus abolished the RHNK‐induced plasticity in mice in OLM, overexpression of PSD95 shortened the fluoxetine latency. In summary, changes in the TRKB:PSD95 interaction contribute to differences observed in drug latency. This study sheds a light on a novel mechanism of action of different classes of antidepressants.
Advertising sex and individual identity by long‐distance chirps in wild‐living mature cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)

Published: March 2023

AbstractAdult cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) use long‐distance chirps for calling toward coalition partners (males), mates (both sexes), and cubs (females). Previously, these vocalizations were only investigated in captivity. This study estimates individual and sex‐related acoustic variation of the long‐distance chirps of 20 mature cheetahs (eight males and 12 females older than 4 years) in their natural habitats in Kenya. Male chirps were longer in duration and lower in the peak frequency and all fundamental frequency variables than female chirps. The average value for assignment of the chirps to correct sex with Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) of 93.8% was significantly higher than by‐chance level of 52.9%. The average value of correct assignment of the chirps to individual with DFA was 79.5%, which was significantly higher than the level by chance of 14.8%. For 10 cheetahs recorded twice with time space of one or 2 years, DFA showed high values of correct assignment of the chirps to individual for both years (91.4% in the first year and 83.9% in the second year of recording), but cross‐validation of the chirps recorded in the second year by discriminant functions created for the chirps of the first year showed a dramatic decrease of correct assignment to the level expected by chance (27.2%). We discuss that long‐distance chirps of wild mature cheetahs provide reliable cues to sex and may also encode caller individuality, although this is not stable over time.
Negative pressure wound therapy for the management of surgical site infections with zoonotic, drug‐resistant pathogens on the upper body of the horse
Authors: Askey Tianti , Major Dustin , Arnold Carolyn 
Published: March 2023

SummaryThis case series reviews the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for surgical site infections (SSI) on the upper body of six horses at an academic referral institution between 2016 and 2020. The SSIs consisted of three ventral midline celiotomy incisions post‐abdominal exploratory, one paralumbar flank incision for removal of an ovarian abscess, an incision for resection of a septic jugular vein, and a large defect resulting from the resection of chronically abscessed skin and subcutaneous tissue on the shoulder and pectoral region. All SSIs contained zoonotic, polymicrobial, multi‐drug resistant pathogens (methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus or extended spectrum beta‐lactamase Klebsiella or Enterobacteriaceae) that were managed without systemic, regional, or topical antimicrobials. All horses were discharged from the hospital, and long‐term follow‐up revealed satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes according to owner questionnaires. Duration of NPWT ranged from 4 to 15 days in five horses, but one horse required NPWT for 70 days due to the large nature of the defect. The NPWT system was easy to use, well‐tolerated by patients, and produced acceptable functional and cosmetic outcomes for the clients. By containing wound exudate and reducing daily wound care, it improved hospital biosecurity and reduced exposure to hospital personnel.
