Creative Responses to Climate Change: A Comparative Analysis of ESG Ratings in Developing Economies
No full textThis study investigates the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings in shaping corporate environmental strategies across developing economies. Analyzing data from 4,811 companies in China and extending our research to include India, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Vietnam, and the Philippines, the study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of ESG ratings’ impact in these diverse economic settings
Replication Data for: A behavioural gap in survival beliefs
No full textThe paper employs data from SHARE, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (https://share-eric.eu/). The SHARE data are provided by SHARE-ERIC (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe – European Research Infrastructure Consortium) to registered users through the SHARE Research Data Center, free of charge and for scientific use globally. Access to the data is subject to European Union and national data protection laws as well as the publicly available Conditions of Use. An overview of the up-to-date data sets that are available via the SHARE Research Data Center can be found at this website: https://share-eric.eu/data/data-documentation. (2023-12-21
Selected personality data from the SAPA-Project: 01Jan2021 to 31Dec2021
No full textLike prior data posted in this repository, these data were collected as part of an initiative to evaluate the structure of personality, specific in the broad domain of temperament. In the context of modern personality theory, temperament is typically construed in terms of the Big Five (Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion) though these data cover a wide range of additional constructs, including many that are much more narrow and specific. Data were collected from more than 510,000 visitors to the SAPA-Project website between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Participants were administered a mixture of survey content that was partially consistent across all respondents and partially distinct. The consistent portion included the SAPA Personality Inventory, various measures from the International Cognitive Ability Resource, and a range of demographic and psychographic questions. Each participant was also administered a random sampling of items from a much larger pool of psychosocial surveys. The data are available in rdata format and are accompanied by documentation stored as a text file. Re-use potential include many types of structural and correlational analyses for personality and personality-outcomes research
Replication Data for: The "Dark Side" of Community Ties. Collective Action and Lynching in Mexico
No full textLynching remains a common form of collective punishment for alleged wrongdoers in Latin America, Africa, and Asia today. Unlike other kinds of collective violence, lynching is usually not carried out by standing organizations. How do lynch mobs overcome the high barriers to violent collective action? I argue that they draw on local community ties to compensate for a lack of centralized organization. Lynch mobs benefit from solidarity and peer pressure, which facilitate collective action. The study focuses on Mexico, where lynching is prevalent and often amounts to the collective beating of thieves. Based on original survey data from Mexico City and a novel lynching event dataset covering the whole of Mexico, I find that individuals with more ties in their communities participate more often in lynching, and municipalities with more highly integrated communities have higher lynching rates. As community ties and lynching may be endogenously related, I also examine the posited mechanisms and the causal direction. Findings reveal that municipalities exposed to a recent major earthquake – an event that increases community ties – subsequently experienced increased levels of lynching. Importantly, I find that interpersonal trust is unrelated to lynching, thus showing that different aspects of social capital have diverging consequences for collective violence, with community ties revealing a “dark side.
Adenosine pathway regulates inflammation during Plasmodium vivax infection
No full textAbstract
Background: Plasmodium spp. infection triggers the production of inflammatory cytokines that are essential for parasite control, and conversely responsible for symptoms of malaria. Monocytes play a role in host defense against Plasmodium vivax infection and represent the main source of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is a key regulator preventing exacerbated inflammatory responses. Studies suggested that different clinical presentations of malaria are strongly associated with an imbalance in the production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Methods: A convenience sampling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Plasmodium vivax-infected patients and healthy donors were tested for the characterization of cytokine and adenosine production and the expression of ectonucleotidases and purinergic receptors.
Results: Here we show that despite a strong inflammatory response, monocytes also bear a modulatory role during malaria. High levels of IL-10 are produced during P. vivax infection and its production can be triggered in monocytes by P. vivax-infected reticulocytes. Monocytes express high levels of ectonucleotidases, indicating their important role in extracellular ATP modulation and consequently in adenosine production. Plasmatic levels of adenosine are not altered in patients experiencing acute malaria; however, their monocyte subsets displayed an increased expression of P1 purinergic receptors. In addition, adenosine decreases Tumor Necrosis Factor production by monocytes, which was partially abolished with the blockage of the A2a receptor.
Conclusion: Monocytes have a dual role, attempting to control both the P. vivax infection and the inflammatory response. Purinergic receptor modulators emerge as an untapped approach to ameliorate clinical malaria

Après la traversée: The Forced Migrations of Enslaved Africans within Saint-Domingue, 1765-1791
No full textThe "Après la traversée" (ALT) dataset documents 730 enslaved people’s forced migrations from Africa to Saint-Domingue via the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It is comprised of two source bases: a set of plantation censuses that, uniquely, groups 556 Africans by the slave ship from which they were purchased; and advertisements published in Saint-Domingue newspapers that tie 174 fugitives to the slave ships that carried them to the island. By cross-referencing these sources with www.slavevoyages.org, the 730 individuals can be traced from Africa, across the Atlantic, and then onto their final destinations in Saint-Domingue; an additional set of variables details people’s attempts to resist their captivity. The ALT dataset therefore illuminates the origins, identities, and migratory pathways of Africans dragged through the slave trade
