The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

Development and External Validation of an Efficient Deep Learning Model for Lesion Segmentation and Subtyping of Hepatic Echinococcosis in Ultrasound Imaging

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
We developed a lightweight deep learning framework that integrates frequency‐ and spatial‐domain ultrasound features with segmentation‐assisted classification for hepatic echinococcosis diagnosis. The model outperformed existing state‐of‐the‐art methods in both accuracy and inference speed while requiring substantially fewer computational resources ...

Bank Income Smoothing, Societal Patriarchy and Policy Uncertainty

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a sample of 745 banks from 26 OECD countries over the period 1997–2023, we investigate the moderating effects of societal patriarchy on bank income smoothing (IS), amidst policy uncertainty (PU). Results indicate that in periods of high PU, banks operating in highly patriarchal societies tend to curtail the use of loan loss provisions ...

The Sector Liquidity Timing Ability of Bond Mutual Funds

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate whether bond mutual fund managers exhibit market liquidity timing skills in the U.S. corporate bond market. At the portfolio level, we find only weak evidence that bond funds adjust their overall market exposure in anticipation of changes in corporate bond market liquidity.

Developing a Z‐ESG Score Model for Assessing Corporate ESG Performance

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study we develop a novel, unique ESG rating model that exploits the logic of the Z‐score by Altman (1968) to discriminate between ESG performing and non‐ESG performing firms using indicators of ESG performance for each of the three pillars (Environmental, Social, Governance) in place of financial ratios.
