Summary: In this study, a secure and disambiguating approach for linguistic steganography is proposed to enhance steganographic security and address segmentation ambiguity. The approach includes a secure token-selection principle and a lightweight disambiguating method, which outperforms existing methods in terms of statistical imperceptibility and anti-steganalysis capacity.

Summary: Adolescents do not always take more risks than adults, and there are differences in developmental trajectories across different measures of laboratory and everyday behavior. The concept of risk is multifactorial with different factors showing different developmental trajectories.

Summary: This study examines how policymakers respond to uncertainty in key epidemiological and economic parameters during a pandemic. The findings show that uncertainty about disease severity leads to stricter and longer-lasting quarantines, while uncertainty about the economic costs of mitigation leads to less stringent quarantines. Overall, risk-averse planners adopt stronger mitigation measures to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of underestimating the pandemic.

Summary: In a market where risky entrepreneurs seek external funds, crowdfunding and financial intermediation can be compatible methods of investment. This study finds that investors prefer to utilize both crowdfunding and financial intermediation when the risk of crowdfunding investment is at an intermediate level. The research also suggests that crowdfunding becomes more optimal when the transaction costs of investment are high.

Summary: This paper proposes a robust investment rule for selecting relatively safe assets and hedging with relatively risky assets. The study finds that when investors cannot differentiate the riskiness of two assets, they will equally invest in both assets. Moreover, investors will take long or short positions on the relatively risky asset if it can be used as a cross-hedging instrument, while it will not be traded if it cannot serve that purpose. These findings provide a unified explanation for under-diversification, home bias, and portfolio inertia in financial markets from a cross-hedging perspective.

Summary: The study found that mice lacking alpha CGRP, the main form of CGRP in the brain, showed similar danger-related responses compared to wildtype mice, suggesting that alpha CGRP may not be necessary for threat-related behaviors mediated by CGRP neurons in the parabrachial nucleus.

Summary: The research presents a case study exploring heterogeneous framing processes within a firm, focusing on the response of a multinational insurance group to digitally-led disruptive innovation. The study introduces the concept of multiplexed framing, which allows conflicting frames to be held by members of the same organizational department, enabling managers to select response strategies for different reasons and leading to an equifinal resolution of conflict. This framing approach enables the organization to experiment and adaptively iterate between different strategic responses to disruptive innovation amidst high uncertainty and ambiguity.

Summary: This study examines the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women working in the tourism sector in Tanzania. It finds that women have adopted different entrepreneurial strategies to protect their incomes and security, including committing to the tourism industry, diversifying their business interests, or leaving tourism altogether. The crisis has exposed the risks and limitations of tourism entrepreneurship for women, posing challenges to the industry's recovery and sustainability.

Summary: In this study, we integrate the canonical trade model with heterogeneous firms, love for variety, and trade costs into the consumption CAPM model. This leads to a structural gravity equation that incorporates an additional factor related to risk premia. Empirical evidence based on firm-level data confirms the significance of cross-sectional heterogeneity in risk and time-varying risk premia in shaping bilateral trade flows. The augmented structural gravity model, which accounts for fluctuations in risk premia, provides a compelling explanation for trade collapses during abrupt economic downturns.

Summary: This study analyzes the influence of behavioral foundation factors and corporate strategic behavior on the formulation of corporate dividend policy. The results show that firms with high ambiguity or high risk infrequently pay dividends but firms with loss-averse behavior tend to pay dividends. This paper also provides evidence that aggressive firms inhibit the payout of dividends. Moreover, the results remain unchanged in those firms with high corporate governance or high growth opportunities.

Summary: The study investigates the association between polygenic risk scores for risky behavior and variations in grey-matter volume across multiple brain areas, finding that this relationship accounts for approximately 2.2% of the association between genes and behavior.

Summary: This review explored the methodological issues of paternal brain research and summarized findings related to fathers' responses to infant stimuli. It suggests that a distributed and complex brain network may be involved in facilitating fathers' sensitivity and responses to infant-related stimuli, while also highlighting the need for systematic improvements in study designs.

Summary: This study describes two new signs, weak shoulder and arm sparing signs, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The weak shoulder sign is highly sensitive in ALS and specific when compared with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). The arm sparing sign is highly specific for ALS. These two new signs are promising as clinical clues in the diagnosis of ALS.
