Behavioral economics and finance: a selective review of models, methods and tools
Authors: Gomes Orlando 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to survey literature on behavioral economics and finance, with particular emphasis on a selection of models, methods and tools that this strand of thought uses to approach and explain observable phenomena.

Design/methodology/approach
After a brief discussion on the meaning and context of behavioral economics, the manuscript identifies five topics of special interest: time preference, heuristics, emotions, finance and macro behavior. For each of these topics, relevant models, methods and tools are identified and scrutinized.

Findings
Behavioral economics and finance establish an effective bridge between orthodox economic thinking and new and revolutionary methods of analysis. Exploring the intricacies of human behavior can frequently be done by adapting the trivial and conventional intertemporal utility maximization models that economists insistently resort to, but to fully grasp such intricacies, a step forward is required. Agent-based models and other tools from complexity sciences constitute the analytical arsenal that is needed to improve our understanding of how behavioral issues attach to heterogeneity, local interaction, path-dependence, out-of-equilibrium dynamics and emergence.

Originality/value
Although surveys on behavioral economics and finance abound in the specialized literature, this study has the peculiarity of emphasizing five relevant topics that are particularly illustrative of the pivotal role of behavioral science in promoting the transition from the strict neoclassical perspective to a less mechanic and more organic view of economics and finance.
Bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds using the standardized INFOGEST protocol: A narrative review

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe INFOGEST protocol creation was a watershed for phenolic bioaccessibility studies. Because of this important initiative to standardize bioaccessibility studies, data comparisons between different laboratories are now expedited. It has been eight years since the INFOGEST protocol creation, and three from the latest update. However, the current status in terms of phenolic bioaccessibility and how far different laboratories are from reaching a consensus are still unrevealed. In this sense, this narrative review considered an evaluation of different studies that applied the INFOGEST protocol to investigate the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. The central objective was to compile the main findings and consensus and to identify possible gaps and future opportunities. This approach intends to further facilitate the use of this protocol by professionals in the field of food science and technology and related areas, generating a reflection on the actual level of standardization of the method. Despite the differences in phenolic compounds from diverse food matrices, and their peculiar behavior, some trends could be elucidated, in terms of phenolic release, stability, and/or transformation upon in vivo digestion. In contrast, there was no general consensus regarding sample preparation, how to report results and the form to calculate bioaccessibility, making it difficult to compare different studies. There is still a long road to effectively standardize the results obtained for phenolic bioaccessibility using the INFOGEST protocol, which is also an opportunity in terms of food analysis that can impact the food industry, especially for the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn Dec. 2019‐January 2020, a pneumonia illness originating in Wuhan, China, designated ascoronavirus disease 2019(COVID‐19) was shown to be caused by a novel RNA coronavirus designated assevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS‐CoV‐2). People with advanced age, male sex, and/or underlying health conditions (obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and chronic lung disease) are especially vulnerable to severe COVID‐19 symptoms and death. These risk factors impact the immune system and are also associated with poor health, chronic illness, and shortened longevity. However, a large percent of patients without these known risk factors also develops severe COVID‐19 disease that can result in death. Thus, there must exist risk factors that promote exaggerated inflammatory and immune response to the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus leading to death. One such risk factor may be alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder because these can exacerbate viral lung infections like SARS, influenza, and pneumonia. Thus, it is highly plausible that alcohol misuse is a risk factor for either increased infection rate when individuals are exposed to SARS‐CoV‐2 virus and/or more severe COVID‐19 in infected patients. Alcohol use is a well‐known risk factor for lung diseases and ARDS in SARS patients. We propose that alcohol has three key pathogenic elements in common with other COVID‐19 severity risk factors: namely, inflammatory microbiota dysbiosis, leaky gut, and systemic activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. We also propose that these three elements represent targets for therapy for severe COVID‐19.
Population size and survival of the Brazilian Torrent Frog Hylodes heyeri (Anura, Hylodidae)
Authors: Struett Michelle Micarelli , Roper James Joseph , Moura Maurício Osvaldo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPopulation dynamics are influenced by environmental variability and understanding the abundance and persistence of individuals and populations is a fundamental goal of population ecology. Thus, estimating demographic parameters to identify the factors important for population variability is required to understand temporal and spatial dynamics. The stream‐living diurnal frog Hylodes heyeri is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil in the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Santa Catarina. Here we use capture‐mark‐recapture methods to estimate survival rates and population size of this Brazilian Torrent Frog in Pico do Marumbi State Park, Paraná. We used CJS models for an open population to estimate apparent survival, capturability and population size in two streams. The number of captures during each session was positively correlated with the minimum weekly temperature. Despite that correlation, the most parsimonious model of survival and capturability was the constant model for both parameters, resulting in a monthly survival rate of 0.38 (95% CI = 0.30–0.46). Thus, only the abundance of the frog differed in the two streams (79 vs. 36), with the population size estimate of 187 individuals. Reproduction is seasonal in the Brazilian Torrent Frog and so the low monthly survival rate suggests that animals move over time rather than die, because 38% month−1 survival should result in <1% of the population remaining after 5 months. Thus, researchers must recognize that populations are labile and individuals often move or are washed downstream during heavy rainfall, generating apparently rapid local turnover that is unlikely to reflect true mortality.
Grassland tenure reform and grassland quality in China

Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of land tenure reform on grassland quality in pastoral areas of China. Using nearly 40 years of remote sensing combined with survey data in the pastoral area of China, we find that the privatization of land use rights without physical (i.e., fences) or legal (i.e., certificates) protection has little impact on improving grassland quality measured by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The enhanced privatization of grassland use rights with physical or legal security significantly increases grassland quality. We show that after the privatization of land use rights with security protection, grassland quality experienced about a 3% increase. Our results suggest that switching to privatized use rights without security protection from previously cooperatively managed land may undermine the positive environmental effects of land tenure reform.
Cultural psychological processes underlying workplace remuneration in Japanese and European American contexts
Authors: Uchida Aya , Nakayama Masataka , Uchida Yukiko 
Published: November 2022

Japan's remuneration systems are moving away from seniority‐based pay towards individual performance‐based pay. We tested how the latter system works within the Japanese cultural context and whether the operation and functioning of the system reflects general psychological tendencies found in Japan. Japanese (Study 1 n = 197; Study 2 n = 235) and European American (Study 1 n = 201; Study 2 n = 186) participants read vignettes that described workplace success centred on a focal employee and including a team. Participants attributed contribution and rewards (financial and status) to a range of agents and factors with graded levels of focus, from the focal employee having the greatest and luck having the least. In general, we found that Japanese participants attributed greater contribution and reward to less focal agents and factors while European American participants attributed greater contribution and reward to more focal agents, in addition to some specific differences between the tasks and reward types. We discuss implications for more nuanced theorizing of the interaction between institutional systems and psychological processes.

AbstractBackgroundCurrent diagnostic algorithms for systemic mastocytosis (SM) rely on the detection of KITD816V in blood to trigger subsequent bone marrow (BM) investigations.MethodsHere, we correlated the KITD816V mutational status of paired blood and BM samples from 368 adults diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and mastocytosis and determined the potential utility of investigating KITD816V in genomic DNA from blood‐purified myeloid cell populations to increase diagnostic sensitivity. In a subset of 69 patients, we further evaluated the kinetics of the KITD816V cell burden during follow‐up and its association with disease outcome.ResultsOur results showed a high correlation (P < .0001) between the KITD816V mutation burden in blood and BM (74% concordant samples), but with a lower mean of KITD816V‐mutated cells in blood (P = .0004) and a high rate of discordant BM+/blood− samples particularly among clonal MCAS (73%) and BM mastocytosis (51%), but also in cutaneous mastocytosis (9%), indolent SM (15%), and well‐differentiated variants of indolent SM (7%). Purification of different compartments of blood‐derived myeloid cells was done in 28 patients who were BM mast cell (MC)+/blood− for KITD816V, revealing KITD816V‐mutated eosinophils (56%), basophils (25%), neutrophils (29%), and/or monocytes (31%) in most (61%) patients. Prognostically, the presence of ≥3.5% KITD816V‐mutated cells (P < .0001) and an unstable KITD816V mutation cell burden (P < .0001) in blood and/or BM were both associated with a significantly shortened progression‐free survival (PFS).ConclusionsThese results confirm the high specificity but limited sensitivity of KITD816V analysis in whole blood for the diagnostic screening of SM and other primary MCAS, which might be overcome by assessing the mutation in blood‐purified myeloid cell populations.
Gendered disruptions in academic publishing during COVID‐19

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTThe COVID‐19 pandemic severely disrupted work patterns in academia. There is mounting evidence that men's publishing productivity increased while women's decreased. Yet most studies of this phenomenon have analyzed authorship and peer review data separately, without considering their interrelationship. We conceptualize authorship and peer review together as visible and invisible forms of labor, a lens that connects service work to other forms of gendered unpaid labor. Drawing on a data set of author and review activity at American Ethnologist from 2014 to 2021, we blend quantitative analysis with qualitative insights from our positions as the journal's editorial assistants. We find that in 2020 women performed staggeringly more service work than men relative to their rates of manuscript submission. Our findings disrupt the discourse of “a return to normal,” which ignores the differential effects of our collective pandemic experience.
The resurrection of earlier imprints post mortem: Explaining the Turkish agricultural cooperative movement with an imprinting theory lens, 1888–1937
Authors: Soydemir Cemil Ozan , Erçek Mehmet 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study aims to extend the cooperative lifecycle theory, which builds on consecutive degeneration and regeneration of ideal cooperative values such as democracy, self‐help, and solidarity by offering a new regenerative mechanism. In this respect, the study imports multilevel imprinting theory from the organizational ecology domain to explicate the punctuated evolutionary pattern of Turkish agricultural credit cooperatives, which displayed significantly different characteristics from Raiffeisen cooperatives that cooperative discourse in Türkiye used for a long as a benchmark. The archival research undertaken in the study asserts that the imprints of Ottoman Memleket Sandiks (OMS) have stamped agricultural credit cooperatives of the Republican era long after their erosion. The resurrection of imprints was enabled by Ziraat Bank, which acted as an intermediary organization and took over the remnants of OMSs. Our analyses also suggest that the State's polity and policy transformations culminate in selective activation of past imprints within the Ziraat Bank, which, in turn, shaped the Turkish agricultural cooperative field.

SummaryBackgroundGuidelines recommend against aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). It is unknown how often patients on primary prevention aspirin hospitalised with GIB have aspirin discontinued at discharge.AimsTo determine the rate of aspirin deprescription and explore long‐term outcomes in patients taking aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events.MethodsWe evaluated all patients hospitalised at Yale‐New Haven Hospital between January 2014 and October 2021 with GIB who were on aspirin for primary prevention. Our primary endpoint was the frequency of aspirin deprescription at discharge. Our secondary endpoints were post‐discharge hospitalisations for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or GIB. Time‐to‐event analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier curves and the log‐rank test.ResultsWe identified 320 patients with GIB on aspirin for primary prevention: median age was 72 (interquartile range [IQR] 61–81) years and 297 (92.8%) were on aspirin 81 mg daily. Only 25 (9.0%) patients surviving their hospitalisation were deprescribed aspirin at discharge. Among 260 patients with follow‐up (median 1103 days; IQR 367–1670), MACE developed post‐discharge in 2/25 (8.0%) with aspirin deprescription versus 37/235 (15.7%) with aspirin continuation (log‐rank p = 0.28). 0/25 patients with aspirin deprescription had subsequent hospitalisation for GIB versus 17/235 (7.2%) who continued aspirin (log‐rank p = 0.13).ConclusionsAspirin for primary cardiovascular prevention was rarely deprescribed at discharge in patients hospitalised with GIB. Processes designed to ensure appropriate deprescription of aspirin are crucial to improve adherence to guidelines, thereby improving the risk–benefit ratio in patients at high risk of subsequent GIB hospitalisations with minimal increased risk of MACE.

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe present the results of a phase 1 study that evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary disease response to cusatuzumab, a novel anti‐CD70 monoclonal antibody, in combination with azacitidine, in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia Japanese participants who were not candidates for intensive treatment. In this multicenter, single‐arm study, six participants were enrolled and treated. Only in cycle 1, participants received cusatuzumab monotherapy on day 14. Subsequently, cusatuzumab was administered intravenously on days 3 and 17 at 20 mg/kg in combination with azacitidine (75 mg/m2) on days 1‐7 of each 28‐day cycle. All six participants had at least one treatment‐emergent adverse event, and the most common treatment‐emergent adverse events (all grades) were leukopenia (four participants [66.7%]) and constipation (three participants [50.0%]). No dose‐limiting toxicity was observed during the study period. The combination of cusatuzumab and azacitidine is generally well tolerated in Japanese participants, and further exploration of this combination is warranted.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance and cost‐effectiveness of calcitonin assays in fine‐needle aspiration washout fluid (FNA‐CT) compared to fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).MethodsA total of 27,404 patients from three medical centres between January 2020 and May 2022 were screened for serum calcitonin (sCT). Of whom, 223 patients met endpoints and were enroled for analyses. Based on sCT levels, patients were divided into two groups (group 1: 10 pg/ml< sCT ≤100 pg/ml and group 2: sCT > 100 pg/ml). The diagnostic performance and cost‐effectiveness of FNA‐CT and FNAC were compared.ResultsMost patients (N = 25,228; 92.1%) with thyroid nodules had normal sCT levels. In group 1, 24 and 167 nodules were diagnosed as MTC and non‐MTC lesions, respectively. FNA‐CT showed better performance in diagnosing MTC than FNAC in terms of sensitivity (100.0% vs. 58.3%), negative predictive value (100.0% vs. 94.3%), and overall accuracy (100.0% vs. 94.7%). In group 2, 67 and 7 nodules were diagnosed as MTC and non‐MTC lesions, respectively. The diagnostic performance of FNA‐CT was superior to FNAC in terms of sensitivity (100.0% vs. 64.2%), negative predictive value (100.0% vs. 22.6%), and overall accuracy (100.0% vs. 67.6%). Furthermore, analysis from the decision tree model showed that FNA‐CT was a cost‐effective tool for diagnosing MTC lesions.ConclusionsFNA‐CT can serve as an auxiliary and cost‐effective approach for patients with indeterminate sCT levels to detect occult MTC lesions. FNA‐CT can be recommended for patients with sCT >100 pg/ml to overcome the high false‐negative rate of FNAC.
A child‐centred asylum policy: Building on evidence and unaccompanied asylum‐seeking children's views
Authors: Gornik Barbara 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe political sphere is typically reserved for adults in contemporary nation‐states, leaving limited opportunities for children's participation in democratic processes. This holds even more true for unaccompanied asylum‐seeking children who are politically unrepresented and often find themselves in a precarious position due to their immigrant status. The article aims to overcome this gap by presenting their experiences of Slovenian reception and asylum procedures as a framework for child‐informed policy. The child‐centred approach as presented in this paper starts from the principles of children's rights, particularly from the right to express views (Article 12 of the CRC) and the use of children's viewpoints as a way of interpreting how reception and asylum procedures should be. In this way, the paper highlights key factors that affect unaccompanied asylum‐seeking children's well‐being and participation rights, including being able to stay with family and friends, having adequate material conditions, having good relationships with institutional staff, having access to information and legal advice, having trained interviewers, translators and decision‐makers.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectivesThe strenuous demands of head and neck cancer surgery (HNS) place patients at increased risk of myocardial injury. Troponin positivity (TP) post‐operatively is a predictor of increased complications and mortality. The present study is the first to investigate the effects of TP on potential delays in adjuvant treatment and disease‐specific survival.Design, Setting, Participants and Main outcome measuresAll patients undergoing HNS from 2014 to 2016 had troponins measured at a single academic centre. Relevant patient data was extracted on retrospective chart review. The main outcome measures were the impact of TP on timing of adjuvant treatment and disease‐specific survival.ResultsOf 166 patients, 26 (15.6%) developed TP post‐operatively. There was no significant difference between cohorts for baseline characteristics except for age. Overall and disease‐specific survival for TP patients were respectively 45.9% and 57.4% at 3 years. There was no significant difference between cohorts for overall and disease‐specific survival, and time to adjuvant therapy.ConclusionNo significant association was found between TP and overall and disease‐specific survival, and time to adjuvant therapy.

Published: November 2022

SummaryThe Anti‐Fat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA) measures prejudicial attitudes that are held about individuals with overweight BMI or obesity. Despite increased interest in research on anti‐fat attitudes worldwide, the psychometric properties of the AFA have rarely been examined in non‐English speaking populations. The present study aimed to address this gap in the literature by translating and validating the AFA in the Greek language. An online, community‐based sample of 642 individuals (364 women) responded to the Greek translation of the AFA and measures of appearance satisfaction and appreciation, disordered eating, self‐esteem and depression. Results indicated that the original three‐factor solution of the AFA was maintained in both the Principal and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. Additionally, internal consistency, test–retest reliability and convergent validity all showed adequate results. These findings provide support for the use of the AFA in Greek‐speaking populations. The availability of the Greek AFA adds to the toolbox of body image scholars working in the Greek context.
