Published: May 2022

PurposeConsumers interacting with smart wearable devices is on the rise in the current health-AI market, which offers a great opportunity for companies to execute interactive marketing. However, this opportunity is mainly reliant on consumers' use of smart wearable devices. This paper aims to develop a model considering health and privacy factors to elucidate consumers' use of smart wearable devices for unleashing their full potential in interactive marketing.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected 250 samples via an online survey to validate the smart wearable devices usage model that elucidates factors that stimulate consumer usage, including privacy concerns, health consciousness and consumer innovativeness. The authors used structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis to test the hypotheses.FindingsPrivacy concerns of consumers have a negative effect on smart wearable devices usage, while health consciousness positively impacts consumers' usage of smart wearable devices. Consumer innovativeness indirectly affects smart wearable devices usage via effort expectancy. Experienced consumers are less sensitive to the performance expectancy but more affected by effort expectancy regarding smart wearable devices.Originality/valueThe present study contributes to the literature stream of health-AI usage by unraveling the impacts of privacy concerns and health consciousness and examining the moderating role of prior experience. The findings suggest marketers in the health-AI industry should endeavor to build transparent and sound privacy protection mechanisms and promote smart wearable devices by fostering health awareness of potential consumers.

PurposeThis study investigates the relationship between financial literacy, that is, financial knowledge and financial skills, and market discipline, with financial behavior as the mediating variable. The study uses data from Indonesian depositors in commercial banks to estimate the relationship between the variables.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied an explanatory method with a quantitative approach by surveying 343 Indonesian commercial bank depositors, in both public and private banks. The responses were collected using the purposive sampling technique. This study applied structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS software to analyze the data and then to estimate the relationships between financial literacy and market discipline.FindingsThis study shows that financial knowledge, financial skills, and financial behavior can improve market discipline. This study also provides empirical evidence that financial behavior has a mediation effect on the relationship between financial skills and financial knowledge to the market discipline.Research limitations/implicationsThe results show that all financial literacy latent variables have a significant positive effect on market discipline. Financial behavior has a mediation effect on the relationship of financial skills and financial knowledge with market discipline. Depositors with good knowledge of financial products and services, who are skillful in managing their money and who demonstrate good financial behavior can effectively discipline the market. They will punish imprudent banking by actions such as the withdrawal of their funds. Financial literacy significantly enhances market discipline.Practical implicationsThis study provides recommendations for regulators, practitioners, academics, and depositors, that is, the actors in the financial industry, on the need to empower consumers with financial literacy, while also promoting market discipline to recognize the importance of these two aspects for the sustainability of financial stability.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical evidence for the market discipline literature, using a behavioral approach, namely, the action of withdrawal of funds. The study then estimates the relationship between financial literacy, that is, financial knowledge and financial skills, and market discipline, with financial behavior as the mediating variable.

Abstract

Research on resource partitioning in plant–pollinator mutualistic systems is mainly concentrated at the levels of species and communities, whereas differences between males and females are typically ignored. Nevertheless, pollinators often show large sexual differences in behaviour and morphology, which may lead to sex‐specific patterns of resource use with the potential to differentially affect plant reproduction and diversification.

We investigated variation in behavioural and morphological traits between sexes of hummingbird species as potential mechanisms underlying sex‐specific flower resource use in ecological communities. To do so, we compiled a dataset of plant–hummingbird interactions based on pollen loads for 31 hummingbird species from 13 localities across the Americas, complemented by data on territorial behaviour (territorial or non‐territorial) and morphological traits (bill length, bill curvature, wing length and body mass).

We assessed the extent of intersexual differences in niche breadth and niche overlap in floral resource use across hummingbird species. Then, we tested whether floral niche breadth and overlap between sexes are associated with sexual dimorphism in behavioural or morphological traits of hummingbird species while accounting for evolutionary relatedness among the species.

We found striking differences in patterns of floral resource use between sex. Females had a broader floral niche breadth and were more dissimilar in the plant species visited with respect to males of the same species, resulting in a high level of resource partitioning between sexes. We found that both territoriality and morphological traits were related to sex‐specific resource use by hummingbird species. Notably, niche overlap between sexes was greater for territorial than non‐territorial species, and moreover, niche overlap was negatively associated with sexual dimorphism in bill curvature across hummingbird species.

These results reveal the importance of behavioural and morphological traits of hummingbird species in sex‐specific resource use and that resource partitioning by sex is likely to be an important mechanism to reduce intersexual competition in hummingbirds. These findings highlight the need for better understanding the putative role of intersexual variation in shaping patterns of interactions and plant reproduction in ecological communities.

Abstract

Boreal forests often have a dense understorey of ericaceous dwarf shrubs with ecological adaptations that contrast those of the canopy‐forming trees. It is therefore important to quantify contributions by understorey shrubs to ecosystem processes and disentangle shrub‐ and tree‐driven responses to climatic factors.

We quantified soil respiration driven by the pine canopy and the ericaceous shrub understorey over 3 years, using a factorial pine root exclusion and shrub removal experiment in a mature Pinus sylvestris forest. Soil temperature and moisture‐related responses of respiration attributed to autotrophs (shrubs, pine roots) and heterotrophs were compared. Additionally, we assessed effects of interactions between these functional groups on soil nitrogen availability and respiration.

Understorey shrubs accounted for 22% ± 10% of total autotrophic respiration, reflecting the ericaceous proportion of fine root production in the ecosystem. Heterotrophic respiration constituted about half of total soil respiration. Shrub‐driven respiration was more susceptible to drought than heterotrophic‐ and pine‐driven respiration. While the respiration attributed to canopy and understorey remained additive, indicating no competitive release, the plant guilds competed for soil N.

Synthesis. Ericaceous understorey shrubs accounted for a small, yet significant, share of total growing season soil respiration. Overlooking understorey respiration may lead to erroneous partitioning and modelling of soil respiration mediated by functional guilds with contrasting responses to soil temperature and moisture. A larger contribution by heterotrophs and pine root‐associated organisms to soil respiration under drought conditions could have important implications for soil organic matter accumulation and decomposition as the climate changes in boreal forests.
Company Income Tax and Business Investment
Authors: Freebairn John 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThere are many financial paths that link different savers who provide funds to different business investors. Path options considered include combinations of corporate and unincorporated businesses, resident and non‐resident savers, debt and equity, and distributed and retained earnings. These different financial paths have different mixes of attributes valuable to savers and investors. As a result, the options are imperfect substitutes. Australian capital income taxation varies across the different financial path options. As a result, effective tax rates and the effects of reforms to company income tax vary across the funding options. Together, the imperfect substitute and different tax treatments reduce the impact of proposed changes in company income taxation on incentives to, and rewards from, business investment.

Published: May 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate whether intervening miscarriages and induced abortions impact the associations between interpregnancy interval after a live birth and adverse pregnancy outcomes.DesignPopulation‐based cohort study.SettingNorway.ParticipantsA total of 165 617 births to 143 916 women between 2008 and 2016.Main outcome measuresWe estimated adjusted relative risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes using log‐binomial regression, first ignoring miscarriages and induced abortions in the interpregnancy interval estimation (conventional interpregnancy interval estimates) and subsequently accounting for intervening miscarriages or induced abortions (correct interpregnancy interval estimates). We then calculated the ratio of the two relative risks (ratio of ratios, RoR) as a measure of the difference.ResultsThe proportion of short interpregnancy interval (<6 months) was 4.0% in the conventional interpregnancy interval estimate and slightly increased to 4.6% in the correct interpregnancy interval estimate. For interpregnancy interval <6 months, compared with 18–23 months, the RoR was 0.97 for preterm birth (PTB) (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83–1.13), 0.97 for spontaneous PTB ( 95% CI 0.80–1.19), 1.00 for small‐for‐gestational age ( 95% CI 0.86–1.14), 1.00 for large‐for‐gestational age (95% CI 0.90–1.10) and 0.99 for pre‐eclampsia (95% CI 0.71–1.37). Similarly, conventional and correct interpregnancy intervals yielded associations of similar magnitude between long interpregnancy interval (≥60 months) and the pregnancy outcomes evaluated.ConclusionNot considering intervening pregnancy loss due to miscarriages or induced abortions, results in negligible difference in the associations between short and long interpregnancy intervals and adverse pregnancy outcomes.Tweetable abstractNot considering pregnancy loss in interpregnancy interval estimation resulted no meaningful differences in observed risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

AbstractObjectivePelvic pain has been associated with augmented nociceptive processing, but large studies controlling for multiple potential confounding factors are lacking. This study investigated the association between pelvic pain bothersomeness and pain sensitivity in young adult women, accounting for potential confounding factors.DesignCross‐sectional study.SettingCommunity‐dwelling sample.PopulationThe Raine Study Gen2‐22 year follow‐up (n = 475).Main outcome measuresThe experience of bothersomeness related to pelvic pain was determined from a question in the Urogenital Distress Inventory short form. Pain sensitivity was measured using pressure pain and cold pain thresholds. Potential confounding factors included ethnicity, marital status, highest level of education, income, waist–hip ratio, level of activity, sleep quality, smoking, comorbidity history, C‐reactive protein level, musculoskeletal pain experience and psychological distress.ResultsThree hundred and sixty‐two women (76.2%) reported no pelvic pain bothersomeness, 74 (15.6%) reported mild pelvic pain bothersomeness and 39 (8.2%) reported moderate–severe pelvic pain bothersomeness. After adjusting for marital status (and test site), moderate–severe pelvic pain bothersomeness was associated with a lower pressure pain threshold (i.e. greater pressure pain sensitivity) (coefficient −51.46, 95% CI −98.06 to −4.86, p = 0.030). After adjusting for smoking, moderate–severe pelvic pain bothersomeness was also associated with a higher cold pain threshold (i.e. greater cold pain sensitivity) (coefficient 4.35, 95% CI 0.90–7.79, p = 0.014).ConclusionsThis study suggests augmented nociceptive processing as a contributing factor in pelvic pain bothersomeness for some women. Thorough assessment of women who present clinically with pelvic pain should consider pain sensitivity as a potential contributing factor to their presentation.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic performance of preoperative application of the Enzian classification (cEnzian) using surgical findings as reference standard.DesignA prospective international non‐interventional study.SettingTwelve endometriosis centres in four European countries (Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic).Population1062 women with endometriosis surgery.MethodsExtent of endometriosis was preoperatively classified using the cEnzian classification based on gynaecological examination and/or transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After subsequent surgery, the surgeon classified the intraoperative findings using the Enzian classification.Main outcome measuresSensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, LR+, LR− and accuracy were calculated. Conditional frequencies of intraoperative Enzian codings and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed for each preoperative coding and visualised in plots.ResultsAlthough overall consistency of cEnzian and Enzian was poor (35.14%, 95% confidence interval 32.26–38.03), high specificities and negative predictive values (NPVs) of the cEnzian compartments could be demonstrated. Looking at the individual parts of the Enzian classification, the poorest diagnostic performance was detected for compartment B and the highest PPVs were found for category 3 lesions (>3 cm), independent of the compartment.ConclusionsUsing the Enzian classification in a non‐invasive setting is a useful tool providing us with an ‘at a glance’ summary of the diagnostic workup regarding deep endometriosis with high specificities and NPVs. An attempt to merge the two new endometriosis classification systems (#Enzian and AAGL 2021) seems reasonable taking into consideration the respective advantages of each other.

AbstractIntroduction and ObjectiveBuilding rural health workforce research capacity is critical to addressing rural health inequalities. Research training is a mainstay research capacity building strategy. This paper describes the delivery and evaluation of a research training program for rural and regional allied health professions (AHPs).DesignA mentored research training program was delivered to AHPs employed public health services in rural and regional Victoria, Australia. The program was evaluated using the Evidence‐Based Practice Knowledge Attitudes and Practice (EBP‐KAP) tool at baseline and 3 months post‐training. Semi‐structured interviews undertaken at 3 and 16 months post‐training explored participants' perspectives of the training, their development and application of EBP and research skills. Survey data were analysed descriptively, and interview data were analysed using a framework approach.FindingsThirty‐four individuals from 14 organisations attended the first workshop and 31 attended the second. Thirty‐one participants completed the survey at baseline and nine at 3 months post‐training. Sixteen interviews were undertaken with 11 participants, five participating at both time points. Participants had positive EBP attitudes at both time points. Overall, participants' knowledge and incorporation of EBP into their practice, and retrieval of evidence was unchanged 3 months post‐training. Themes identified in the interview data were as follows: (1) individual research capacity enhanced through supported practice, (2) organisational factors influence individuals' progression of research and (3) individual contributions towards research capacity within the organisation.ConclusionA mentored rural research training program promoted the application of EBP skills at the individual level and contributed to organisational research capacity.
Deep terminal negativity of the P‐wave in V1 and stroke risk: The National Health and Nutrition Examination survey III
Authors: Shen Youmei , Li Mingfang , Chen Minglong 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundDeep terminal negativity of the P‐wave in V1 (DTNPV1) was considered if the absolute value of the depth of the negative phase was >100 μV in the presence of a biphasic P‐wave in V1. In this study, we aimed to determine the association between DTNPV1, a simpler P‐wave index, and the risk of stroke.MethodsWe compared P‐wave indices between participants with and without a self‐reported history of stroke in the United States Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). The association between DTNPV1 and stroke was quantified with logistic regression models.ResultsIn total, 7732 participants were included (307 with a history of stroke). Patients with stroke had deeper terminal negativity of the P‐wave in V1 (52.3 ± 33.9 μV vs. 41.4 ± 27.0 μV, p < .001). After adjustment, DTNPV1 was associated with an increased risk of stroke (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.03–2.60, p = .038). This association appeared to be stronger in people aged <75 years (interaction p = .023), and in those without heart failure (interaction p = .018) or ischemic heart disease (interaction p = .014). In contrast to the participants with 0 or ≥2 risk factors, in those with 1 risk factor, stroke prevalence was significantly different among the three categories of terminal negativity of the P‐wave (0 μV, >0 μV but ≤100 μV and > 100 μV) in V1 (2.8%, 3.3%, and 10.3%, respectively, p = .005).ConclusionIn NHANES III, DTNPV1 was associated with a higher prevalence of stroke, suggesting that DTNPV1 might be a convenient marker to distinguish the risk of stroke.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundLeft ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been used as a standard treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure. However, these devices are prone to adverse events. Nonsurgical bleeding (NSB) is the most common complication in patients with continuous flow (CF) LVADs. The development of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) in CF‐LVAD recipients is thought to be a key factor. However, AVWS is seen across a majority of LVAD patients, not just those with NSB. The purpose of this study was to examine the link between acquired platelet defects and NSB in CF‐LVAD patients.MethodsBlood samples were collected from 62 CF‐LVAD patients at pre‐ and 4 post‐implantation timepoints. Reduced adhesion receptor expression (GPIbα and GPVI) and activation of platelets (GPIIb/IIIa activation) were used as markers for acquired platelet defects.ResultsTwenty‐three patients experienced at least one NSB episode. Significantly higher levels of platelet activation and receptor reduction were seen in the postimplantation blood samples from bleeders compared with non‐bleeders. All patients experienced the loss of high molecular weight monomers (HMWM) of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), but no difference was seen between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression showed that biomarkers for reduced platelet receptor expression (GPIbα and GPVI) and activation (GPIIb/IIIa) have more predictive power for NSB, with the area under curve (AUC) values of 0.72, 0.68, and 0.62, respectively, than the loss of HMWM of vWF (AUC: 0.57).ConclusionThe data from this study indicated that the severity of acquired platelet defects has a direct link to NSB in CF‐LVAD recipients.

Published: May 2022

AbstractAlthough variability and sexual dimorphism (SD) have been intensively studied as regards molar size, patterns of SD on molar shape are not an equally approached topic. Therefore, this study uses size and shape variables of the second permanent molar (M2) from two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics to assess intrasample variability and shape patterns in SD within a human group from the late medieval city of Iași in Romania. Our findings are partially consistent with the view that phenotypic variability in M2 teeth is correlated with their developmental stages. No intra‐group dental models were highlighted, except for those determined by SD. The upper M2 tooth is a clearer sexual dimorphic than the lower M2. How different regions of the tooth are associated and how patterns of M2 shape variation are defined in the two sexes are also topics addressed in this paper.
