Cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate levels correlate with symptom severity in first-episode psychosis

, 2011
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate form (DHEA) are neuroactive steroids with antiglucocorticoid properties. An imbalance in the ratio of cortisol to DHEA(S) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of stress-related psychiatric disorders ...

Sustainable Luxury: Understanding Consumer Responses to Purpose‐Driven Brand Strategies

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study examines the dilemma faced by consumers in balancing the concepts of sustainability and luxury in the context of self‐gifting. The research is based on the Affect‐Behavior‐Cognition (ABC) framework and the Consumer‐Brand Identification (CBI) theory, which seeks to understand how the perceived sustainability–luxury fit and brand ...

Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Humanlike AI for Corporate Social Responsibility Communication: How Perceived Anthropomorphism Shapes Stakeholder Acceptance of Chatbots

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing interest in leveraging AI to improve CSR communication, there is limited understanding of consumers' reactions to chatbots in CSR communication. Building upon the HAII‐TIME model, this study proposes a theoretical model from the users' psychological perspective to explain facilitative pathways through which anthropomorphic ...

Sustainability Transitions in SMEs: Investigating Net‐Zero Adoption, Carbon Footprint Reduction, and Performance Outcomes

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research empirically validates an integrated framework that explains net‐zero‐emission adoption among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Extending the Technological‐Organizational‐Environmental (TOE) framework with the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) perspective, the research explains how internal capabilities
