Beyond the Aggregate
The antecedents of ESG practices have been widely studied. However, previous research has not examined the impact of chairperson media coverage (CMC) on a firm's ESG engagement. This study draws on the strategic leadership literature, stakeholder theory, and resource dependence theory to develop a theoretical framework addressing these gaps. First, by deconstructing ESG into its three key components, this research proposes that CMC enhances envir…
Unravelling the role of inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease risk via association, mediation and prediction analyses
Background: Systemic inflammation plays a critical role in coronary artery disease (CAD), yet comprehensive profiling of inflammatory markers and their integration into predictive models remain incompletely characterised. We here sought to identify key CAD-related inflammation markers and construct an integrated inflammatory risk score (IRS) to enhance conventional cardiovascular risk prediction. Methods: Associations between 18 complete blood co…
The potential of acupuncture in treating sarcopenia
The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, leading to a sharp rise in late-life diseases such as sarcopenia. Despite its increasing prevalence, effective pharmacological treatments, exercise regimens, and dietary recommendations for sarcopenia remain limited.

Returnee executives and corporate fraud
Whether and when returnee executives influence corporate fraud remains an important unresolved theoretical and practical problem. Referencing upper echelons theory and the literature on managerial discretion, we propose that firms with more returnee executives are more likely to engage in corporate fraud. In addition, we propose that the relation between returnee executives and corporate fraud is subject to organizational indicators that reflect …
Influence and role of polygenic risk score in the development of 32 complex diseases
Background: The polygenic risk score (PRS) has been perceived as advantageous in predicting the risk of complex diseases compared to other measures. We aimed to systematically evaluate the influence of PRS on disease outcome and to explore its predictive value. Methods: We comprehensively assessed the relationship between PRS and 32 complex diseases in the UK Biobank. We used Cox models to estimate the effects of PRS on the incidence risk. Then, …
Earnings Pressure and Firms’ ESG Performance
On the basis of agency theory and upper echelons theory, this study examines the moderating role of executive experience in the relationship between earnings pressure and firms’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. We argue that earnings pressure negatively impacts ESG performance, as it leads executives to prioritize short-term financial gains over ESG activities with uncertain or delayed financial returns. Moreover, we posit…
Impact of changes in leisure activities on incident disability among older adults

Effects of interpersonal sensitivity on depressive symptoms in postgraduate students during the Covid-19 pandemic
Interpersonal sensitivity has a significant influence on depression among Chinese graduate students. Psychological capital and sleep quality may not only independently mediate the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and depression, but also co-play a chain-mediating role in the pathway from interpersonal sensitivity to depression. Positive psychological interventions and sleep guidance may be beneficial in alleviating depressive sympto…

Corporate fraud as a negative signal
Based on signaling theory, we explore the impact of corporate fraud on firms’ innovation performance. First, we propose that corporate fraud harms firms’ innovation performance. This is because, as a negative signal, fraud makes it difficult for firms to obtain the policy, funding, and human resources needed for outstanding innovation performance. We further argue that the institutional aspects of the signaling environment (e.g., industrial compe…
