Summary: Ecological stressors can have complex effects on biological systems, but there are potential benefits to be gained. This article proposes a framework to understand these stressor-induced benefits, including mechanisms such as seesaw effects and cross-tolerance. The framework operates at different organizational levels and can be applied to an evolutionary context. The challenge now is to develop scaling approaches to link these benefits across organizational levels.

Summary: This paper investigates how consumers' inequity aversion affects a manufacturer who sources inputs from upstream suppliers. The findings show that inequity aversion can either hurt or benefit the profits of the supplier and manufacturer, depending on the sourcing strategy and consumer observability of the manufacturer's costs. Inequity aversion can reduce margins and improve channel efficiency when the manufacturer sources from multiple suppliers and cost information is not observed by consumers.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of consumers' inequity aversion on both the manufacturer and suppliers. The study finds that inequity aversion has different effects on profits under different conditions. When the manufacturer sources from multiple suppliers and consumers do not observe the manufacturer's cost, inequity aversion benefits the suppliers, manufacturer, and consumers alike.

Summary: This study examines the impact of share pledges by controlling shareholders on stock liquidity. Using 2SLS and an exogenous regulatory change, we find a positive causal link between pledging and stock liquidity. Our results are robust to various tests and we find that dispersion of opinions among investors explains the findings. Additionally, our study shows that share pledging is associated with lower liquidity risk, contradicting regulatory concerns about its negative impact on the company's information environment.

Summary: Parasitic plants, often viewed as pests, actually have positive effects on ecosystems and human society, such as facilitating species coexistence, increasing biodiversity, improving nutrient cycling, and providing resources to other organisms. However, caution should be exercised when using parasitic plants, especially avoiding cultivation outside their native geographical range to prevent uncontrolled spread and ecosystem damage.

Summary: In information systems research, top management support is seen as crucial for successful digital transformation. However, this study reveals the dark side of top management support, showing that it can lead to costly implementation and operational confusion. The style and approach of top management support are key in determining its impact.

Summary: Dispositional greed has played a significant role in our evolutionary history and has impacts on the well-being of individuals exposed to greedy behavior. However, there are substantial individual differences in dispositional greed, and little is known about the potential positive aspects of this variation. Studies have found that dispositional greed is positively associated with empathy for pain and pain experience, revealing the psychological mechanisms underlying its persistent nature.

Summary: This study discusses the potential benefits for downstream retailers to invite new entrants when facing encroachment from their upstream manufacturers. The findings suggest that manufacturers may choose to collaborate with retailers, treating them as strategic partners to restrict the market share of new entrants or alleviate downstream competition. On the other hand, retailers may intentionally prompt the entry of new firms to trigger inter-brand competition and secure favorable procurement conditions.

Summary: The use of visible light-triggered reversible triazolinedione (TAD) chemistry in materials science is a relatively unexplored area. By exploiting the reversible naphthalene-TAD Diels-Alder couple, researchers have successfully crosslinked pre-synthesized polymers to form narrow disperse microparticles without the need for additives. The formation and degradation rate of the particles can be tuned by using shorter or longer prepolymers, showcasing potential applications in long term drug or fertilizer delivery systems.

Summary: Positive constructive daydreaming is positively related to creativity, while poor attentional control is negatively related to it. Daydreaming and creativity share common functional connectivity basis, mainly located in the brain's default mode network, central executive network, salience network, and attention network.

Summary: This article discusses the positive potential of selective cognitive dysfunction and proposes a two-step approach to identify and develop corresponding training methods. Traditional views on mental health focus on cognitive impairments, whereas we should pay attention to the cognitive potential that selective dysfunctions might bring.

Summary: Graphene serves as a promising platform for electron quantum optics, with the capability to tune electronic beam splitters and achieve nearly unity transmission. Comparisons with conventional semiconductor interferometers show graphene's robustness to universal processes driving quantum coherence.

Summary: The experiment demonstrates that a dc-biased Josephson junction in series with two microwave resonators emits entangled beams of microwaves. By measuring second-order coherence functions, the entanglement of the outgoing beams is proven despite the limitation of low-frequency noise from the dc bias. The agreement between experimental results and theory allows for evaluation of the entropy of entanglement, estimation of entanglement flux, and identification of ways to improve the device's performance as a bright source of entangled microwaves for quantum-technological applications.

Summary: Magnons can transfer magnetic moment or spin over long distances. In quantum Hall ferromagnets, it is predicted that spin and charge are entangled, resulting in magnons carrying an electric dipole moment. Evidence of this electric dipole moment is found in a graphene quantum Hall ferromagnet using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, with the magnons affecting interferometer flux and interference pattern phase and visibility. The ability to couple spin degree of freedom to an electrostatic potential in quantum Hall ferromagnets could have implications for spintronics.

Summary: In this paper, we observe the emission of photon bunches by a circuit made of a microwave resonator and a voltage-biased tunable Josephson junction. We show that the emission of photon bunches can be explained quantitatively by treating the system using a rotating-wave approximation. Through experimental measurements, we also determine the Fano factor of the emitted microwave radiation.

Summary: An efficient fabrication method for absorptive microwave filters based on Eccosorb CR-124 is presented. The filters are made from readily available parts and their cutoff frequency can be adjusted by their length. These filters exhibit desirable properties such as a wide stop band with high rejection and low return loss, as well as an error-function shaped step response without overshoot. Measurements at low temperatures show that the filters thermally stabilize quickly and can absorb high power while maintaining low noise temperature. Therefore, they are ideal for cryogenic filtering and filtering of intermediate frequency port signals of mixers.
