AbstractGlobal climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events (ECEs) which may be especially detrimental during late‐winter when many species are surviving on scarce resources. However, monitoring animal populations relative to ECEs is logistically challenging. Crowd‐sourced datasets may provide opportunity to monitor species' responses to short‐term chance phenomena such as ECEs. We used 14 years of eBird—a global citizen science initiative—to examine distribution changes for seven wintering waterfowl species across North America in response to recent extreme winter polar vortex disruptions. To validate inferences from eBird, we compared eBird distribution changes against locational data from 362 GPS‐tagged Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in the Mississippi Flyway. Distributional shifts between eBird and GPS‐tagged Mallards were similar following an ECE in February 2021. In general, the ECE affected continental waterfowl population distributions; however, responses were variable across species and flyways. Waterfowl distributions tended to stay near wintering latitudes or moved north at lesser distances compared with non‐ECE years, suggesting preparedness for spring migration was a stronger “pull” than extreme weather was a “push” pressure. Surprisingly, larger‐bodied waterfowl with grubbing foraging strategies (i.e., geese) delayed their northward range shift during ECE years, whereas smaller‐bodied ducks were less affected. Lastly, wetland obligate species shifted southward during ECE years. Collectively, these results suggest specialized foraging strategies likely related to resource limitations, but not body size, necessitate movement from extreme late‐winter weather in waterfowl. Our results demonstrate eBird's potential to monitor population‐level effects of weather events, especially severe ECEs. eBird and other crowd‐sourced datasets can be valuable to identify species which are adaptable or vulnerable to ECEs and thus, begin to inform conservation policy and management to combat negative effects of global climate change.

AbstractPublic officials use blame avoidance strategies when communicating performance information. While such strategies typically involve shifting blame to political opponents or other governments, we examine how they might direct blame to ethnic groups. We focus on the COVID‐19 pandemic, where the Trump administration sought to shift blame by scapegoating (using the term “Chinese virus”) and mitigate blame by positively framing performance information on COVID‐19 testing. Using a novel experimental design that leverages machine learning techniques, we find scapegoating outgroups backfired, leading to greater blame of political leadership for the poor administrative response, especially among conservatives. Backlash was strongest for negatively framed performance data, demonstrating that performance framing shapes blame avoidance outcomes. We discuss how divisive blame avoidance strategies may alienate even supporters.
Impact of precipitation on the two‐stage grassland eco‐subsidy policy effect on stocking reduction in Inner Mongolia, China
Authors: Dong Jiayu , Zhang Xinling , Liu Xiaoling , Ren Zimeng 
Published: June 2022

AbstractChina launched the Grassland Ecological Subsidy Policy in 2011 for restoring grassland ecology by paying pastoralists to downsize stocking on the degraded grasslands and compensate their income loss from livestock reduction. The policy, the largest payment for ecosystem services program targeting pastoralism in the world, has been so far through two 5‐year stages: 2011 to 2015 with a subsidy at 1.5 CNY per standard mu per year and 2016 to 2020 at 2.5 CNY increased to boost the stocking reduction. How was the boost effect? We investigated that stocking responses in 2010, 2015 and 2018 using the panel data of 410 herder households in the subpolicy forage‐livestock balance areas in Inner Mongolia, China, tested various attributes on stocking rate and stocking reduction rate at the two stages of the policy using econometric models of random effects and ordinary least squares. This study is the first empirical case containing the two 5‐year policy data and with both subsidy and precipitation effects. We confirmed the regulating impact of precipitation on the subsidy policy effect, and more precipitation in the second stage appeared to offset the effect of the increased subsidy. We suggested changing the subsidy targeting mechanism from rewarding stocking reduction to direct grassland restoration.

AbstractObjectiveThis study assesses the concordance in migraine diagnosis between an online, self‐administered, Computer‐based, Diagnostic Engine (CDE) and semi‐structured interview (SSI) by a headache specialist, both using International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD‐3) criteria.BackgroundDelay in accurate diagnosis is a major barrier to headache care. Accurate computer‐based algorithms may help reduce the need for SSI‐based encounters to arrive at correct ICHD‐3 diagnosis.MethodsBetween March 2018 and August 2019, adult participants were recruited from three academic headache centers and the community via advertising to our cross‐sectional study. Participants completed two evaluations: phone interview conducted by headache specialists using the SSI and a web‐based expert questionnaire and analytics, CDE. Participants were randomly assigned to either the SSI followed by the web‐based questionnaire or the web‐based questionnaire followed by the SSI. Participants completed protocols a few minutes apart. The concordance in migraine/probable migraine (M/PM) diagnosis between SSI and CDE was measured using Cohen’s kappa statistics. The diagnostic accuracy of CDE was assessed using the SSI as reference standard.ResultsOf the 276 participants consented, 212 completed both SSI and CDE (study completion rate = 77%; median age = 32 years [interquartile range: 28–40], female:male ratio = 3:1). Concordance in M/PM diagnosis between SSI and CDE was: κ = 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.75–0.91). CDE diagnostic accuracy: sensitivity = 90.1% (118/131), 95% CI: 83.6%–94.6%; specificity = 95.8% (68/71), 95% CI: 88.1%–99.1%. Positive and negative predictive values = 97.0% (95% CI: 91.3%–99.0%) and 86.6% (95% CI: 79.3%–91.5%), respectively, using identified migraine prevalence of 60%. Assuming a general migraine population prevalence of 10%, positive and negative predictive values were 70.3% (95% CI: 43.9%–87.8%) and 98.9% (95% CI: 98.1%–99.3%), respectively.ConclusionThe SSI and CDE have excellent concordance in diagnosing M/PM. Positive CDE helps rule in M/PM, through high specificity and positive likelihood ratio. A negative CDE helps rule out M/PM through high sensitivity and low negative likelihood ratio. CDE that mimics SSI logic is a valid tool for migraine diagnosis.
A new sustainable change theoretical framework for the professional disciplines
Authors: O'Connell Brendan T. , Stupans Ieva , Jollands Margaret 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper contends that one key reason for the lack of adoption of comprehensive change models based in higher education (HE) teaching and learning is that they lack a strong theoretical underpinning, thus potentially impeding their effectiveness in dealing with the complexities of human and organisational behaviour. Change theories that articulate the specific roles and influences of context, time and key actors in the change process are interrogated to highlight barriers to sustainable change in HE. A new theoretical framework for sustainable change is proposed that integrates these change theories in the context of HE professional disciplines. The findings provide several recommendations for university management in implementing change models including the provision of reciprocal feedback loops, enhanced learning for staff and students through scaffolding, developing workplace and professional networks, and implementing study and work unit flexibility.

AbstractThe past few decades have witnessed great change in the study of the early Middle Ages in the Northern Iberian Peninsula. Spanish and Portuguese historiographies have moved away from older grand narratives such as ‘Reconquest and Repopulation’, which traced a centuries‐long process encompassing the ultimate victory of Christianity over Islam and the construction of distinct nations or national societies. The basic tenets of these and other essentialist approaches to a period traditionally seen as the cradle of Spain and Portugal have been questioned and now superseded by a clearer awareness of the territorial diversity characterising the 8th to 11th centuries. Yet the ballast of both nationalism and regionalism has obstructed meaningful comparison amongst the Iberian regions to date. Drawing on the work of the research groupEarlyMedIberia, this article argues for a new trans‐regional approach to Northern Iberia, looking beyond political and geographical boundaries to consider the whole in a comparative light, and stressing the commonalities between regional and local societies. It does so by providing an overview of the extant charter material from before 1100 (indicating the principal editions) and by reviewing the major historiography. The conclusion proposes a closer assessment of the differences and similarities amongst regional historiographies, based on a more nuanced understanding of how they have been moulded by the specificities of the charter corpus in each region, as the first step towards a more integrated, contextualised, and rigorously comparative approach to the early Middle Ages in Northern Iberia.
The financial US uncertainty spillover multiplier: Evidence from a GVAR model
Authors: Salisu Afees A. , Gupta Rangan , Demirer Riza 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis study examines the role of the global financial cycle (GFCy) in the propagation of uncertainty shocks from the United States to other national economies using a large‐scale global vector autoregressive model of 33 countries. Although the dominant role of US uncertainty over global economic dynamics is established, the findings highlight the moderating role of the GFCy in the spillover effects of uncertainty shocks. The US uncertainty shocks, compared with own‐domestic uncertainty shocks, are found to have a more prominent negative impact on output during stressed market conditions, implied by low values of the GFCy, while the impact turns largely insignificant during high GFCy states. The findings provide evidence in favour of a US uncertainty spillover multiplier, suggesting that the design of monetary policy as a response to US uncertainty needs to be contingent on the state of the integrated global financial markets, captured by the GFCy.

AbstractAimClimate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still poorly understood, particularly in the highly biodiverse Andes. Regional syntheses of climate change impacts on vegetation are pivotal to identify and guide research priorities. Here we review current data, knowledge and uncertainties in past, present and future climate change impacts on vegetation in the Andes.Location: Andes.Taxon: Plants.MethodsWe (i) conducted a literature review on Andean vegetation responses to past and contemporary climatic change, (ii) analysed future climate projections for different elevations and slope orientations at 19 Andean locations using an ensemble of model outputs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5, and (iii) calculated changes in the suitable climate envelope area of Andean biomes and compared these results to studies that used species distribution models.ResultsFuture climatic changes (2040–2070) are projected to be stronger at high‐elevation areas in the tropical Andes (up to 4°C under RCP 8.5), while in the temperate Andes temperature increases are projected to be up to 2°C. Under this worst‐case scenario, temperate deciduous forests and the grasslands/steppes from the Central and Southern Andes are predicted to show the greatest losses of suitable climatic space (30% and 17%–23%, respectively). The high vulnerability of these biomes contrasts with the low attention from researchers modelling Andean species distributions. Critical knowledge gaps include a lack of an Andean wide plant checklist, insufficient density of weather stations at high‐elevation areas, a lack of high‐resolution climatologies that accommodates the Andes' complex topography and climatic processes, insufficient data to model demographic and ecological processes, and low use of palaeo data for distribution modelling.Main conclusionsClimate change is likely to profoundly affect the extent and composition of Andean biomes. Temperate Andean biomes in particular are susceptible to substantial area contractions. There are, however, considerable challenges and uncertainties in modelling species and biome responses and a pressing need for a region‐wide approach to address knowledge gaps and improve understanding and monitoring of climate change impacts in these globally important biomes.
Childhood exposure to family violence and adult sibling relationships
Authors: Kong Jooyoung , Goldberg Jaime 
Published: June 2022

AbstractObjectiveThis study investigated how experiencing childhood family violence can affect aspects of adult sibling relationships.BackgroundEstablished evidence shows the long‐term effects of childhood adversity on several domains of adult lives. Few studies, however, have examined the impact that childhood family violence exposure has on sibling relationships later in adulthood. To address this gap, this study examined the latent class structure of childhood exposure to family violence. We also investigated whether and how latent class membership predicted aspects of adult sibling relationships, including geographical proximity, contact frequency, perceived closeness, similarity in outlook, and support exchange.MethodData for the study were obtained from 3921 adult participants in the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. Using the Bolck, Croon, and Hagenaars (BCH) approach of latent class analysis (LCA), we identified five latent classes (prevalence rate noted): No Exposure to Family Violence (75%), Exposed to Intersibling Violence (7%), Exposed to Overall Family Violence (4%), Exposed to Paternal and Interparental Violence (10%), and Exposed to Maternal and Interparental Violence (5%).ResultsChildhood family violence was a significant predictor of adult sibling relationships. Specifically, we found that the Intersibling Violence, Overall Family Violence, and Paternal and Interparental Violence classes showed lower levels of perceived emotional closeness and similarity in values/outlook with their siblings than the No Exposure to Violence class.ConclusionFindings suggest that childhood exposure to family violence may have long‐term negative effects on the emotional aspect of sibling relationships in adulthood.
Will your Study Make the World A Better Place?
Authors: Markman Gideon D. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis Point‐Counterpoint (PCP) on the Responsible Research in Business and Management (RRBM) movement features three essays on the roles of science and scholars in addressing problems that are significant to both business and society. This introduction discusses three areas that seem to hinder the RRBM movement. The first is that the movement seeks to ‘own the responsible research domain’. A second is that using societal impact to adjudicate whether a single study is ‘responsible’ or ‘irresponsible’ can be irresponsible. A final hindrance are some unintended consequences of overstressing societal impact. Despite these concerns, the three essays bring tremendous clarity and hope to scholars who want their studies to make the world a better place.
Race discrimination in the adjudication of claims: Evidence from earthquake insurance
Authors: Lin Xiao , Browne Mark J. , Hofmann Annette 
Published: June 2022

AbstractCatastrophic events affect many people simultaneously. We exploit earthquake claim characteristics to test for racial discrimination in the adjudication of insurance claims. Using data from the Oklahoma Department of Insurance, the US Geological Survey, and the US census, we study eight earthquakes between 2010 and 2016 that were linked to oil and gas drilling activities. We test whether claim resolutions differ among zip‐code areas with different racial compositions, all else equal. We find evidence that claims from areas with higher percentages of Black population were less likely to result in payment, and when those claims did get paid, payments were lower in those areas. We further investigate the mechanisms through which such discrimination may exist. We do not find evidence that the percentages of Black, Native, or Asian population in an area are associated with the filing of marginal claims. We do find that areas with higher percentages of Hispanic population file fewer marginal claims.
Effect of geographical origin on consumers' emotional response to alcoholic beverages: A study with wine and cider
Authors: Knowles Sophie , Falkeisen Anika , Gorman Mackenzie , Barker Sophie , Moss Rachael , McSweeney Matthew B. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractConsumers do not evaluate food products exclusively using sensory properties, but rather they judge them using both intrinsic (ex. sensory properties) and extrinsic (ex. brand, packaging, geographic origin) factors. Alcoholic beverages include a wide variety of information on their packaging, with one factor being geographic origin. The purpose of this study was to determine how geographic origins can influence a consumer's emotional response to alcoholic beverages (wine and cider). First, consumers were asked to identify wine and cider‐producing countries. Then in the first trial, consumers (n = 112) evaluated wine samples from different geographic origins (France, Italy, Canada, USA, Nova Scotia [NS]). In the second trial, consumers (n = 102) evaluated cider samples labeled with different geographic origins (France, USA, Canada, United Kingdom, NS). In both trials, the samples were evaluated using the check‐all‐that apply variant of the 25‐item version of the EsSense Profile® and a purchase intent scale. The geographic origin affected the consumers' purchase intent of both wines and ciders. Participants that had higher knowledge about wine or cider, were not influenced by the geographic origin. In both trials, purchase intent scores increased when positive emotions were selected. However, the consumer's level of knowledge did not affect their emotional response to the different geographical origins. Future research should investigate how cultural background affects consumers' emotional responses, and the influence of other extrinsic factors.Practical ApplicationsConsumers have emotional responses to foods and these responses begin prior to purchase. Consumers rely on the packaging (extrinsic cues) to make purchasing decisions and alcoholic beverages contain a large number of extrinsic cues. Geographical origin is an extrinsic cue that is especially important for alcoholic beverages. This study aimed to evaluate consumers' emotional responses to alcoholic beverages from different geographical origins. The geographical origin affected the consumers' emotional response and purchase intent. When consumers experienced positive emotions their purchase intent increased. Future studies should evaluate the effect of other extrinsic cues.

AimTo describe the incidence and aetiology of early and late‐onset neonatal sepsis and compare rates in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants against non‐Indigenous infants in the Top End of the Northern Territory.MethodsThis was a retrospective case series of infants with positive blood or cerebrospinal fluid cultures at Royal Darwin Hospital between 2012 and 2016. Cultures from infants during initial hospital admission up to 120 days of age were included for analysis. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and treatment data were collected from medical records. Published definitions of sepsis and criteria for organism pathogenicity and were used to determine cases of sepsis.ResultsThere were 52 episodes of sepsis in 45 infants. There were eight cases of early onset sepsis, with an incidence of 0.51 per 1000 live births. The incidence was similar for Aboriginal and non‐Indigenous infants. The case fatality rate was 25%. Late‐onset sepsis occurred in 44 cases, comprising 1.3% of all infants admitted to the special care nursery. Coagulase‐negative Staphylococcus was the most frequently cultured organism. Case fatality rate was 11%. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants had a five‐time higher risk of late‐onset sepsis compared with non‐Indigenous infants; however, their increased risk was not independent of other sepsis risk factors of low rates and prematurity.ConclusionsThe incidence of culture‐confirmed early and late‐onset sepsis was low, but case fatality was high. Bacteraemia is an important contributor to neonatal and infant mortality in our setting.
