Effects of exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with MASLD: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
Background Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), primarily assessed via maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) or peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during incremental exercise testing, is a robust predictor of cardiovascular mortality in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the exercise volume associated with greater CRF gains in this population remains poorly defined. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate t…

The Discursive Construction of Hierarchy in Japanese Society: An Ethnographic Study of Secondary School Clubs
Seniority-based hierarchy (jouge kankei) is omnipresent in Japanese group dynamics. How one comports, depends on one’s status and position vis-à-vis others. To-date, no study shows what constitutes this hierarchy, where and when individuals growing up in Japan first come into contact with it, as well as how they learn to function in it. This book fills in the lacunae. Considering jouge kankei as a social institution and adopting a discourse analy…
Who starts the trade war? A theory of export controls and quid pro quo
China has been accused of its quid pro quo policy which requires multinational firms to transfer technologies in return for market access. What is less well‐known is that developed countries have imposed export controls on a large variety of high‐tech products to China. We develop a simple two‐country model to understand the motives and consequences of these nontraditional trade and FDI policies. Under certain regularity conditions, we show that …

Does being gay motivate the language learning journey of a sexually marginalised ‘refugee’
I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers in their birthplace ... Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves ... Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs
The Transformation of Hamartiology in Early Christianity: On Augustine's Interpretation of Romans 5:12
Starting with Augustine's controversial translation and interpretation of Romans 5:12, this paper compares Augustine's and the apostle Paul's different understandings of "sin": Paul understands "sin" from the apocalyptic eschatological perspective, and regards "sin" as a cosmic power; Augustine, on the contrary, gradually understood sin as an ontological sin in the discussion of the concept of "original sin". Through the development and transform…

Local Corporate Taxes and the Geography of Foreign Multinationals
We study the implications of the presence of foreign multinationals on regional corporate tax policies of a country. We develop and estimate a quantitative spatial model with multinational production (MP) and local corporate taxes. Exploiting China's 2008 corporate tax reform, we find that firm production across regions is twice as footloose as estimates in the literature on cross-country production. Counterfactual analysis shows that (i) China's…
