description: This study exploits a natural experimental setting in rural Philippines to investigate the reversed gender disparity in education. We compare two rating systems implemented in the Philippines, observing that boys’ underperformance persists in evaluations by teachers who know the examinees. Conversely, this bias is not evident in external assessments where the examinees’ attributes are concealed from evaluators. Our empirical analyses identify two underlying channels. The first is the disparity rooted in a stereotype against male students. The second is teacher-rated scores capturing a broader range of diligence aspects, such as attendance, where male students are likely to underperform. This bias is also amplified by the likelihood of student–teacher gender (mis)match, reflecting teacher labour-market conditions in developing countries. This study has limitations due to the relatively small sample to generalise and determine which mechanism prevails over the other. Nonetheless, we emphasise that gender disparity is driven by stereotypes (i.e. being male or diligent towards a specific gender) of one gender over the other.

description: Cooking with relatively clean fuel has numerous benefits, including reducing pollution and improving health and socioeconomic outcomes. Hence, some developing countries have implemented policies to promote LPG use. However, risks of accidents and explosions may prevent risk-averse households from adopting LPG. This study examines the causal effect of risk aversion on the adoption and expenditure of LPG using the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Measurement Survey and a double hurdle approach. We find that risk-averse households are four per cent less likely to adopt LPG and, if adopted, spend significantly less on LPG. The result holds even after endogeneity has been addressed with diverse econometric strategies. However, the effect disappears in households where the primary decision-makers have no formal education, while it is systematically stronger when they are educated. The results imply measures that reduce the actual and perceived dangers of LPG usage could effectively increase adoption rates.

description: This paper examines the emergence of gender differences in socioemotional skills and traits during adolescence, and the socioeconomic and cultural factors that may explain such gaps, in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam. Findings from Young Lives longitudinal data showed that the gender gap in self-efficacy emerges around age 19, with males scoring more highly than females in Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. Similar, but less consistent, patterns were observed for self-esteem and peer relations. At age 22, males also scored more highly than females, in at least one country, in emotional stability, conscientiousness, grit, and teamwork. In India and Ethiopia, the two countries with higher poverty and more unequal gender attitudes, we found gender differences in a greater number of socioemotional skills or traits. A predictive analysis of self-efficacy, emotional stability and teamwork found that time spent in paid and unpaid household activities, having a more equal attitude to gender roles, and socioeconomic status were associated with the gender gap in socioemotional skills. These covariates explained gender gaps more in India and Ethiopia than in other countries. However, substantial portions of gender differences remained unexplained by available variables. Our findings may help clarify the origins of gender inequalities in life outcomes and how they can be addressed through socioemotional programmes in adolescence.

description: Child labour in cocoa production remains a major concern. Yet, an overall assessment of the role of cocoa production in child labour, comparing with other household livelihood activities, as well as a more nuanced view on the work that is done by children, is lacking. Using data from the Ghana Living Standards Survey 2017, we model the probability of children’s work based on cocoa production and a set of other variables at child, parental, household and community level. We specify children’s work in different ways to better interpret employment conditions, compare effects across gender and age of the child, and address potential bias by controlling for measurement error and using an instrumental variable estimation and a coefficient stability approach. We find that cocoa production increases the probability of working on the own farm but not exceeding allowable work time or in harmful conditions. The effects are similar for boys and girls but are much larger for older children. Other farm-household activities, especially food crop production and livestock ownership, are much more strongly associated with children’s work, often under more harmful conditions. This implies that solely targeting the cocoa sector might run the risk to transpose child labour to other activities.

description: Many coastal small-scale fishing (SSF) communities in low and middle-income countries are experiencing urbanisation due to global development and migration patterns. Scholars have documented how processes related to urbanisation present SSF communities with a unique series of opportunities and challenges. However, it is still poorly understood how SSF communities perceive and pursue resilience while adapting to these changing conditions. To address this gap, we conduct ethnographic research among the members of a fishing cooperative in Cancun, Mexico. We find that four factors related to Cancun’s pattern of development have incentivized local fishers to adopt a trans-sector perspective of livelihood resilience through which they view fishing as a lucrative but fleeting opportunity, with some actively planning a transition to non-fishing livelihoods. These four factors are the depletion of local fisheries, rising land values, the proliferation of non-fishing livelihood opportunities, and regional migration patterns. Whether local fishers ultimately prove resilient to the stresses of urbanisation depends partly upon the degree to which local governance and support systems align with this perspective. By contextualizing these findings within the broader literature on SSFs and urban development, we develop a heuristic to hypothesize to what extent these findings are generalizable beyond the study context.

description: Effective savings mechanisms are crucial for household resilience and economic growth. Savings accounts, whether from banks or mobile-phone based, offer an alternative to informal saving mechanisms as they provide safe and private cash storage. However, there is still no clear evidence on how the use of digital tools can contribute to increasing farmers’ savings, compared with other financial tools such as bank accounts or keeping cash at home. To address this gap, we investigate factors affecting cocoa farmers’ decisions to save, as well as their savings amounts. Shedding light on saving determinants, we answer the question of whether formal and semi-formal accounts play a major role in savings accumulation. For our study, we employ data from a structured telephone survey conducted in 2021 among 405 randomly sampled cocoa farmers. Results from an interval regression suggest that bank account usage is associated with higher savings amounts. In contrast to male cocoa farmers, females seem to use mobile savings tools to their benefit. Our analysis further reveals the importance of education in household financial resource management. We provide valuable results for public policymakers and the private sector towards responsible financial inclusion and pro-poor development of digital financial services.

description: Vehicle automation is regarded as one of the most promising technologies in transportation networks to alleviate congestion, improve safety and energy efficiency. Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems, which serve as the first step of automation, are already standard equipment in many commercially available vehicles. Therefore, the observation-based assessment of such systems individually and in platoon formations, is very appealing. This paper assesses the impact of ACC systems on energy and fuel consumption car-following scenarios. High-resolution data from three experimental car-following campaigns consisted of platoons with ACC-equipped vehicles, are collected. Two driving modes are considered, human- and ACC-driven vehicles. Results are presented with four independent models estimating energy and fuel consumption. The findings reveal that an upstream energy propagation was observed inside the platoon by the ACC participants, indicating that ACC systems are less efficient than human drivers. On the positive side, commercial ACC systems do not generally fail inside a platoon, keeping steady time-gaps. They seem to operate based on a constant headway policy and their performance is conditioned to the environment. ACC drivers in protected environments and campaigns might perform better but should be (ideally) tested in adverse environments. Overall, commercially implemented ACC systems must be optimized to realize a trade-off between functional specifications in terms of time-gap policies and safe and eco-driving instructions.

description: Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have reached the market share required to meaningfully affect many aspects of the road transport system, including traffic behaviour, energy consumption, and emissions. However, traffic models for hybrids remain insufficiently addressed in microscopic simulation because traditional models ignore vehicle dynamics, and therefore, cannot capture driving differences that exist among the hybrid, conventional, and electric vehicles. This study extends the lightweight microsimulation free-flow acceleration (MFC) model and fills the above gap in the literature by introducing hybrid vehicle dynamics into traffic simulation. First, the methodology underlying the MFC model to reproduce hybrid vehicle dynamics is described, for both charge depleting (CD) and charge sustaining (CS) modes. Then, the experimental setup for model validation and implementation was introduced. The simulations suggest the proposed MFC model can ensure smooth speed and acceleration profiles while converging to the steady state. The results show the MFC model can accurately capture the dynamics of the hybrid vehicle tested on the chassis dynamometer. The MFC model is compared with the Gipps' model and the intelligent driver model (IDM) regarding their abilities to reproduce driving trajectories of the hybrid vehicle. It was found, in CD mode, the MFC model leads to reductions in both speed and acceleration root mean square errors (RMSEs). In CS mode, the MFC model yields even greater accuracy gains. When predicting the 0-100 km/h acceleration specifications, the MFC model also outperforms the Gipps' and the IDM, reducing RMSE by 45.8 % and 51.9 %, respectively.

Interestingly, the only specimens of H. taphorni collected in the Takutu River drainage were collected in the Pirara River. The Pirara River is where the Rupununi River connects to the Takutu River during the rainy season (Lowe-McConnell 1964), and it is possible that H. taphorni has only recently invaded the Takutu River drainage.

description: The role of Microfinance institutions (MFIs) in driving financial inclusion is contested. We argue that the ability of MFIs to consistently contribute to financial inclusion depends on their business model and its resilience to structural changes. We find that MFIs with an embedded business model (i.e., deep engagement with the local community) perform better in the aftermath of structural policy interventions as compared to MFIs with a transactional model. Using a difference in differences analysis on a database of MFIs that operated in India during the currency demonetization, we find support for our hypotheses. Our findings indicate that while transactional MFIs do better in a stable environment, embedded MFIs hold the advantage in a turbulent environment. Our results underscore the role of business model fit with the environment in driving financial inclusion. We also alert practitioners to the tradeoffs involved in being embedded in the local context (or lack thereof).

description: The electronic structure and magnetic properties of Fe2Te2 are studied by first-principles calculations. The ground state for Fe2Te2 is bi-collinear antiferromagnetic order with Fe magnetic moment (∼2.5 μB). When hydrostatic and uniaxial pressure (Phy or PC) increased, the density of states at the Fermi-level N(EF) and the hybrid bandwidth (HBW) of Fe-3d and Te-5p near the Fermi-level both increased slightly accompanied by the decreasing of Fe magnetic moment MFe(μB). However, compared with 122 type iron-based materials, no significant changes in the band structure, density of states and MFe were observed when the physical pressure increased. Fe2Te2 is not sensitive to the changes of pressure and it is difficult to induce its superconductivity only by applying its physical pressure.

description: Additional file 2: Figure S1. Levels of productive HIV-1 infection induced in response to HAMB correlate with levels of CD4 T cell depletion. LPMC (n=7) were spinoculated with CCR5-tropic HIV-1BAL or mock control and exposed to a panel of HIV-altered mucosal bacteria (HAMB; n=7) for 4 days. LPMC were harvested and levels of productive infection and depletion of LP CD4 T cells evaluated. To determine the association between induction of production infection and depletion in response to HAMB, values for each HAMB (n=7) from each donor (n=7) were pooled (n=49). Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman test.

description: The evidence for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat negative symptoms in schizophrenia (SCZ) is increasing, although variable response rates remain a challenge. Subject´s sex critically influences rTMS´ treatment outcomes. Females with major depressive disorder are more likely to respond to rTMS, while SCZ data is scarce. Using data from the ‘rTMS for the Treatment of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia’ (RESIS) trial we assessed the impact of sex on rTMS´ clinical response rate from screening up to 105 days after intervention among SCZ patients. The impact of resting motor threshold (RMT) on response rates was also assessed. 157 patients received either active or sham rTMS treatment. No significant group differences were observed. Linear mixed model showed no effects on response rates (all p > 0.519). Apart from a significant sex*time interaction for the positive subscale of the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) scores (p = 0.032), no other significant effects of sex on continuous PANSS scores were observed. RMT had no effect on response rate. In the largest rTMS trial on the treatment of SCZ negative symptoms we did not observe any significant effect of sex on treatment outcomes. Better assessments of sex-related differences could improve treatment individualisation.

description: Previous results demonstrated that CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variants affect serum concentrations of antidepressants. We implemented a PGx service determining gene variants in CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 in our clinical routine care and report on our first patient cohort. We analysed CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 allele, genotype, and phenotype frequencies, and actionable pharmacogenetic variants in this German psychiatric inpatient cohort. Two-tailed z-test was used to investigate for differences in CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 phenotypes and actionable/non-actionable genetic variant frequencies between our cohort and reference cohorts. Out of the 154 patients included, 44.8% of patients were classified as CYP2D6 normal metabolizer, 38.3% as intermediate metabolizers, 8.4% as poor metabolizers, and 2.6% as ultrarapid metabolizers. As for CYP2C19, 40.9% of patients were classified as normal metabolizers, 19.5% as intermediate metabolizers, 2.6% as poor metabolizers, 31.2% as rapid metabolizers, and 5.8% as ultrarapid metabolizers. Approximately, 80% of patients had at least one actionable PGx variant. There is a high prevalence of actionable PGx variants in psychiatric inpatients which may affect treatment response. Physicians should refer to PGx-informed dosing guidelines in carriers of these variants. Pre-emptive PGx testing in general may facilitate precision medicine also for other drugs metabolised by CYP2D6 and/or CYP2C19.
