How Signals of Silence Sustain Sexual Harassment and What to Do About It

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sexual harassment has persisted for decades as an open secret within organizations, creating an ongoing challenge for Human Resource practitioners. Many employees experience or witness harassment yet say nothing. When they contemplate complaining, they are discouraged from doing so. Some still muster the courage to speak out about these abuses,

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Changes in the gut microbiome during fasting‐induced molting and its effects on gut–liver function

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
During fasting, harmful microbiota and metabolites rise, triggering intestinal injury and activation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway, which enhances intestinal stem cell proliferation. Concurrently, hepatic function declines, indicated by increased hepatic and serum bile acids and upregulation of the non‐classical bile acid synthesis pathway.

Multi‐Omics and Machine Learning Integration Identifies Key Endothelial Modules in Carotid Artery Stenosis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study integrates multi‐omics data (single‐cell RNA‐seq, bulk RNA‐seq, and proteomics) from carotid artery plaques to identify novel biomarkers for diagnosing stenosis. Through a computational pipeline involving cell population analysis, WGCNA, and machine learning models, we identified and validated NRP1 and XAF1 as key endothelial biomarkers ...

The Gini Coefficient and Personal Inequality Measurement [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
The Gini coefficient is the most popular inequality index. It is based on the sum of pairwise absolute income differences, which can be viewed as taking a separate sum for each individual of the differences between his/her income and others', and then adding up those separate sums.

Early prediction of multiple organ failure for sepsis patients based on machine learning algorithms

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, there has been a notable rise in sepsis incidence leading to more multiple organ failure and higher mortality. The lack of effective treatments for sepsis highlights the importance of early prediction in preventing multiple organ failure. This study aimed to develop a model for the early prediction of multiple organ failure in

Shape Derivatives of the Eigenvalues of the de Rham Complex for Lipschitz Deformations and Variable Coefficients: Part II

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this second part of our series of papers, we develop an abstract framework suitable for de Rham complexes that depend on a parameter belonging to an arbitrary Banach space. Our primary focus is on spectral perturbation problems and the differentiability of eigenvalues with respect to perturbations of the involved parameters. As a byproduct,

On the Negative Bias of the Gini Coefficient due to Grouping [PDF]

Journal of Classification, 2018
The Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion that is commonly used as a measure of inequality of income, wealth or opportunity. Empirical research has shown that the coefficient may have a nonnegligible downward bias when data are grouped. It is unknown under which grouping conditions the downward bias occurs.

Linking Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of air pollution on charitable giving. We suggest that the burdens associated with poor air quality are associated with a dampening of civic and philanthropic engagement. Analyzing 12 years of county‐level data from the United States with fixed‐effects OLS and instrumental variables regressions, we identify a ...

Analysis of Trajectories of Anxiety Behaviors During Induction of Anesthesia in Children With Multiple Encounters: A Secondary Analysis of a Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preoperative anxiety is a significant stressor for children and is associated with negative postoperative outcomes. Although the incidence of difficult inductions during a single anesthetic encounter is well documented, the longitudinal trajectory of anxiety behaviors in children undergoing repeated anesthesia remains poorly ...
