Authors: Pomirleanu Nadia , Chennamaneni Pavan Rao , John-Mariadoss Babu , Schibrowsky John A. 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis study evaluates the factors related to the creation of a human brand in the brand inception stage.Design/methodology/approachEmploying content analysis of expert reviews, we establish the role played by valence (positiveness), depth (number of statements) and timing of subjective and objective critical reviews for human brands. To address these issues, we employ generalized estimating equations to model numerical ratings of celebrity reviews evaluating a nascent human brand.FindingsThe findings show that subjective reviews have the potential to influence the probability of survival of a human brand in the brand inception period, are increasingly consequential during the inception period stages and are more influential than objective reviews. We also found that the valence of objective reviews can negatively and significantly relate to human brands in their late inception stage.Originality/valueThis is the first research to demonstrate the importance of critical reviews in building human brands, with a focus on the first moment of a brand's inception. More importantly, this research enriches our understanding of the larger process of personal brand building as it may emerge over time.
Equity crowdfunding syndicates and fundraising performance: the effect of human capital and lead investor reputation
Authors: Zhang Ye , Scholes Louise , Fu Kun , Hughes Mathew , Tang Fangcheng 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis paper is about equity crowdfunding syndicates as a form of entrepreneurial finance and looks specifically at the lead investors' human capital and their ability to raise funds.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop regressions on a unique hand-collected dataset of 178 lead investors taken from the US-based platform AngelList.FindingsResults indicate that lead investors' specialized human capital has a positive effect on their syndicate fundraising performance. However, it does not find a significant effect of general human capital. It also finds that specialized human capital is mediated by the reputation of the lead investor on the platform.Research limitations/implicationsThis study extends human capital theory in the crowdfunding context by providing a more comprehensive portrait of human capital and in doing so, shifts the focus from an entrepreneur to an investor perspective, an approach much neglected in the crowdfunding literature.Originality/valueThis study advances the current knowledge on crowdfunding as it is one of the first to understand syndicate investment as an innovative and alternative platform-based financial channel. It also contributes to the current debate on the role of human capital in crowdfunding and more generally to entrepreneurial finance.

Published: February 2023

PurposeThis research aims to analyze the factors affecting the people's performance working in the health sector to improve the services the health sector provide to society and increase the efficiency of their institutions.Design/methodology/approachConceptual model covering paternalistic leadership, employee creativity and psychological safety as an intermediary role has been suggested. A questionnaire was applied to 600 employees of three hospitals in Izmir voluntarily and 531 questionnaire data were obtained to test the proposed model. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-23 and Amos-18 were the statistical software used to analyze the data.FindingsThe results suggest that paternalistic leadership positively affects employee creativity and psychological safety plays a mediating role in this relationship. While the effects of paternalistic leadership on employee resourcefulness are readily available, paternalistic leadership's mechanisms need elucidation.Originality/valuePrevious studies have addressed issues, such as employees' job satisfaction and organizational commitment, covering Far East countries. Yet, the present research's findings enhance the cultural understanding of the conditions, where the paternalistic leader affects employee creativity. Moreover, leader affects must have managerial contributions to institutions.
Online channel mode selection in a platform supply chain in the presence of consumer returns
Authors: Yang Bing 
Published: February 2023

PurposeMotivated by the real-world practice that the boom of the online selling induces a higher product return as well, selecting which online channel mode indicates who takes ownership over the product and thus bears the loss of the product return. This paper aims to seek the optimal online channel modes for the two members in a platform supply chain in the presence of product returns.Design/methodology/approachThis study aims to develop a platform supply chain that consists of one platform company and one supplier. Along with an offline distribution channel, the supplier can choose two alternative online selling modes (i.e. the reselling and agency modes) to sell its product through the online marketplace. This paper applies Stackelberg game to derive the equilibrium with different business scenarios and selects the optimal online channel modes for two parties, respectively. Moreover, this paper extends to a different supply chain with a reverse channel leadership and a different product return policy for testing the robustness.FindingsSeveral interesting and important results are derived in this paper. Firstly, it is found that the relative pricing are largely relied on the costs of two channels. Secondly, the platform supply chain may benefit from a pure channel rather than the dual-channel when this channel enjoys a relatively low cost and/or a sufficiently high consumer preference. Then, the platform and the supplier act contradictorily when selecting their optimal online channel modes. To be specific, the platform motivates to choose the online reselling mode when both the commission rate and the slotting fee are relatively low, whereas the supplier is likely to select the online agency mode under this circumstance. Finally, a win-win situation in regards to the optimal online channel mode for two parties is achievable with numerical experiments.Practical implicationsBased on the analytical studies, the results derived in the authors’ work can provide managerial insights to assist the supplier and the platform company in determining the operational decision and selecting the optimal online channel mode to deal with consumer returns. In addition, appropriate commission rate along with slotting fee will make both parties achieve a win-win situation in determining their optimal online channel mode.Originality/valueTo the authors’ best knowledge, this paper makes the first move to determine the optimal online channel mode in the content of consumer returns and study how it is affected by different product return policies.
The clock is ticking: contexts, tensions and opportunities for addressing environmental justice in sport management
Authors: Chen Chen , Kellison Timothy 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to explore what environmental justice (EJ) can offer to sport management research and highlights the urgency for sport management scholars interested in environmental and ecological issues to engage with EJ as an important research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is primarily a position and conceptual paper. Drawing from multidisciplinary literature (e.g. critical human geography, environmental sociology, Indigenous studies and postcolonial studies), it provides an overview of the major conceptualizations of EJ and discusses important premises for sport management researchers to engage with EJ topics.FindingsEJ offers opportunities for sport management researchers to form stronger analyses on existing racial, socio-economic, and gender-related inequities manifest in the sport industry. The incorporation of EJ can strengthen the emerging sport ecology research in sport management and offer opportunities for sport management researchers to form stronger analyses on existing racial, class and gender-related inequities manifest in the sport industry.Originality/valueIt provides a critical and original intervention to the sport management literature. EJ's emphasis on power and its position at the convergence of social movements, public policy, and scholarship hold important potential for sport management researchers to advance scholarship with “actions,” addressing environmental harms and seeking practical solutions for enhancing communities' well-being.
Digital Privacy: GDPR and Its Lessons for Australia
Authors: Das Chaudhury Ratul , Choe Chongwoo 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAustralia's Privacy Act 1988 is under review with a view to bringing Australia's privacy laws into the digital era, more in line with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This article discusses how the GDPR can be refined and standardised to be more effective in protecting privacy in the digital era while not adversely affecting the digital economy that relies heavily on data. We argue that an ideal data policy should be informative and transparent about potential privacy costs while giving consumers a menu of opt‐in choices into which they can self‐select.
Managing Human Resources During a Global Crisis: A Multilevel Perspective
Authors: Malik Ashish , Sanders Karin 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe develop a multi‐level framework for understanding the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices in managing people during a significant global crisis. We provide a critical review of the research on the topic, focusing on papers published in the British Journal of Management (BJM). Our review focuses on papers dealing with people management issues during or after a global crisis event. To this end, two BJM special issues and other articles on global crises published were selected for our critical review. Our choice of additional papers reviewed was deliberate. We reviewed papers from several other premier outlets covering diverse geographies. Such an approach allows for delineating critical factors and practices that stand out despite national, cultural, industry and sectoral differences. These papers cover the two major global crises in the last two decades: the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID‐19 Pandemic. We conclude with future research directions.
The relationship between well‐being and HbA1c in adults with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review
Authors: Pérez‐Fernández Aida , Fernández‐Berrocal Pablo , Gutiérrez‐Cobo María José 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundDiabetes has been associated with psychological problems, which in turn have been related to poorer glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]). On the contrary, psychological well‐being constructs have been associated with superior medical outcomes, including better HbA1c.AimThe main objective of this study was to systematically review the existing literature about the relationships between subjective well‐being (SWB) and HbA1c in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).MethodsComprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Medline, time restricted to 2021, for studies examining the link between HbA1c and the cognitive (CWB) and affective (AWB) components of SWB. A total of 16 eligible studies were selected according to the inclusion criteria, of which 15 measured CWB and 1 AWB.ResultsOf the 15 studies included, 11 showed a relationship between CWB and HbA1c, with a higher level of HbA1c being related to poorer CWB. The other four studies did not find any significant association. Finally, the only study examining the relationship between AWB and HbA1c found a marginally association between these variables in the expected direction.ConclusionThe overall data suggest that CWB is negatively related to HbA1c in this population, but these results are inconclusive. This systematic review offers clinical implications, such as the possible evaluation, prevention, and treatment of the problems associated with diabetes through the study and training of the psychosocial variables that may directly influence SWB. Limitations and future lines of investigation are discussed.

Published: February 2023

AbstractMammals play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning; knowledge of their presence and distribution is important for conservation and development planning. In this study, camera traps were used to survey mammals in the Republic of Congo's Kouilou Department. After 985 trap nights 15 species were recorded. Notable records include the endangered white bellied pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) and side striped jackal (Canis adustus). No evidence of primate activity was recorded. Species diversity comparisons highlighted the high conservation potential of Terra Firma forests. Savanna and grassland systems showed limited conservation potential due to low species detectability resulting from anthropogenic disturbance.
Neurotrophins: are they involved in immune tolerance in pregnancy?
Authors: Milyutina Yulia P. , Arutjunyan Alexander V. , Korenevsky Andrey V. , Selkov Sergey A. , Kogan Igor Yu. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn this review, an attempt was made to substantiate the possibility for neurotrophins to be involved in the development of immune tolerance based on data accumulated on neurotrophin content and receptor expression in the trophoblast and immune cells, in particular, in natural killer cells. Numerous research results are reviewed to show that the expression and localization of neurotrophins along with their high‐affinity tyrosine kinase receptors and low‐affinity p75NTR receptor in the mother‐placenta‐fetus system indicate the important role of neurotrophins as binding molecules in regulating the crosstalk between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems in pregnancy. An imbalance between these systems can occur with tumor growth and pathological processes observed in pregnancy complications and fetal development anomalies.
Optimal dose of adrenaline auto‐injector for children and young people at risk of anaphylaxis: A phase IV randomized controlled crossover study
Authors: Patel Nandinee , Isaacs Emily , Duca Bettina , Nagaratnam Nanthagopan , Donovan Jackie , Fontanella Sara , Turner Paul J. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundGuidelines recommend intramuscular injection of 500 μg adrenaline (epinephrine) for anaphylaxis in teenagers and adults; however, most autoinjectors deliver a maximum 300 μg dose. We evaluated plasma adrenaline levels and cardiovascular parameters (including cardiac output) following self‐injection with 300 μg or 500 μg adrenaline in teenagers at risk of anaphylaxis.MethodsSubjects were recruited to a randomized, single‐blind two period crossover trial. Participants received all 3 injections (Emerade® 500 μg, Emerade® 300 μg, Epipen® 0.3 mg) on 2 separate visits (allocated in a randomized block design), at least 28 days apart. Intramuscular injection was confirmed by ultrasound, and heart rate/stroke volume assessed using continuous monitoring. The trial was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03366298).ResultsTwelve participants (58% male, median 15.4 years) participated; all completed the study. 500 μg injection resulted in a higher and more prolonged peak concentration (p = 0.01) and greater Area‐Under‐Curve for plasma adrenaline (p < 0.05) compared to 300 μg, with no difference in adverse events. Adrenaline caused a significant increase in heart rate irrespective of dose and device. Unexpectedly, 300 μg adrenaline resulted in a significant increase in stroke volume when delivered with Emerade®, but a negative inotropic effect with Epipen® (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThese data support a 500 μg dose of adrenaline to treat anaphylaxis in individuals >40 kg in the community. The contrasting effects on stroke volume between Epipen® and Emerade®, despite similar peak plasma adrenaline levels, are unexpected. There is an urgent need to better understand differences in pharmacodynamics following adrenaline administration by autoinjector. In the meantime, we recommend adrenaline injection by needle/syringe in the healthcare setting in individuals with anaphylaxis refractory to initial treatment.
The effect of testosterone treatment on bone mineral density in Klinefelter syndrome: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Willems Stien , David Karel , Decallonne Brigitte , Marcq Philippe , Antonio Leen , Vanderschueren Dirk 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundAlthough Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most frequent sex‐hormone disorder, there is ongoing uncertainty about the often associated sex‐hormone deficiency, its impact on common comorbidities, and therefore about prevention and treatment. In this study, we focus on bone loss, reported to occur in over 40% of KS patients, and the impact of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on this comorbidity.ObjectivesThis single‐center retrospective cohort study in a tertiary hospital compared the effect of treatment with TRT to no TRT on evolution of bone mineral density (BMD) in KS patients.MethodsAfter a medical chart review, a total of 52 KS subjects were included in this study. BMD was measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) and expressed as T‐scores.ResultsThe subjects were divided into three groups, according to TRT. In the subgroup that only started TRT after baseline measurements (mean age 31 years), we observed significant gain in BMD T‐score at the lumbar spine (0.58 ± 0.60, p = 0.003; mean gain of 0.62% areal BMD per year) and total femur T‐score (0.24 ± 0.39, p = 0.041; mean gain of 0.25% areal BMD per year) after a mean follow‐up period of 7.5 years. Compared to untreated subjects, a significant difference in evolution was demonstrated at the lumbar level (+0.58 ± 0.60 vs. −0.14 ± 0.42, p = 0.007). In untreated subjects with normal testosterone levels, a loss of BMD (−0.27 ± 0.37, p = 0.029; mean loss of 0.49% areal BMD per year) at the femoral neck was measured. This decline was equal to the predicted loss seen in the general male population.ConclusionTRT results in BMD gain in patients with KS with testosterone deficiency, mainly at the lumbar spine. However, this effect is limited (0.62% per year). Patients who were not treated with TRT because of sufficient endogenous testosterone levels, showed only the predicted age‐related bone loss during follow‐up. The need for TRT in maintaining bone health in KS should be evaluated on an individual basis according to the degree of sex steroid deficiency.
On two conjectures about perturbations of the stochastic growth rate
Authors: Giaimo Stefano 
Published: February 2023

SummaryThe stochastic growth rate describes long‐run growth of a population that lives in a fluctuating environment. Perturbation analysis of the stochastic growth rate provides crucial information for population managers, ecologists and evolutionary biologists. This analysis quantifies the response of the stochastic growth rate to changes in demographic parameters. A form of this analysis deals with changes that only occur in some environmental states. Caswell put forth two conjectures about environment‐specific perturbations of the stochastic growth rate. The conjectures link the stationary distribution of the stochastic environmental process with the magnitude of some environment‐specific perturbations. This note disproves one conjecture and proves the other.
We the People. Who? The face of future American politics is shaped by perceived foreignness of candidates of color
Authors: Chirco Patrizia , Buchanan Tonya M. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPursuing a more equitable political representation of a country's demographics is essential both as a matter of principle and pragmatism (i.e., realpolitik). As such, the goal of the present study was to replicate and expand on research on the impact of voter race/ethnicity and ideology on voting behaviors and interpersonal judgments of political candidates of color from different racial and ethnic groups. After participants (N = 282) saw the same political candidate of color (randomly assigned to identify as Mexican American vs. African American), we assessed interpersonal judgments and behaviors (e.g., expertise, voting intentions), perceived Americanness, and memory for skin tone of the candidate. In support of hypotheses and previous research/theory, white voters expressed more positive interpersonal judgments toward the African American political candidate and rated him to be more American than the Mexican American political candidate. We expanded upon previous research by directly testing the role of perceived Americanness in the differential judgments of political candidates’ race/ethnicity by white voters, with evidence supporting partial mediation. Our findings further showed that judgments toward a political candidate of color were also predicted by voters’ political affiliation. Specifically, conservative (vs. liberal) voters generally expressed less positive interpersonal judgments toward the candidates of color and perceived them to be less American and patriotic. Ramifications related to these findings are discussed.
Increased incidence of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in 2021 correlating with the ongoing vaccination campaign against COVID‐19 in a tertiary center – A monocentric analysis
Authors: Schaefers C. , Paulsen F.‐O. , Frenzel C. , Weisel K. , Bokemeyer C. , Seidel C. 
Published: February 2023

SummaryImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) was reported as a rare complication of COVID‐19 vaccines. We conducted a retrospective single‐center analysis of all ITP cases detected in 2021 and compared the quantity with the pre‐vaccination years, from 2018 to 2020. In 2021, a two‐fold increase in ITP cases was identified compared to previous years; 11 of 40 cases (27.5%) were considered COVID‐19‐vaccine related. Our study highlights an increase in ITP cases at our institution, probably related to COVID‐19 vaccinations. Further studies are needed to investigate this finding globally.
SLC3A2 promotes tumor‐associated macrophage polarization through metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer
Authors: Li Zhuan , Chen Songming , He Xiang , Gong Siyuan , Sun Lunquan , Weng Liang 
Published: February 2023

AbstractTumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment and possess crucial functions in facilitating tumor progression. Emerging evidence indicates that altered metabolic properties in cancer cells support the tumorigenic functions of TAMs. However, the mechanisms and mediators the underly the cross‐talk between cancer cells and TAMs remain largely unknown. In the present study, we revealed that high solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) expression in lung cancer patients was associated with TAMs and poor prognosis. Knockdown of SLC3A2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells impaired M2 polarization of macrophages in a coculture system. Using metabolome analysis, we identified that SLC3A2 knockdown altered the metabolism of lung cancer cells and changed multiple metabolites, including arachidonic acid, in the tumor microenvironment. More importantly, we showed that arachidonic acid was responsible for SLC3A2‐mediated macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment to differentiate into M2 type both in vitro and in vivo. Our data illustrate previously undescribed mechanisms responsible for TAM polarization and suggest that SLC3A2 acts as a metabolic switch on lung adenocarcinoma cells to induce macrophage phenotypic reprogramming through arachidonic acid.
