Summary: This paper examines the impact of environmental punishments on housing prices through information disclosure and dissemination. The research finds that the transaction prices of houses near environmentally punished firms decrease on average by 1.84%, with multiple punishments amplifying the negative effects. The effects are particularly pronounced during heating seasons and national important events. Unfortunately, there is little evidence of environmental punishments in the rental housing market. The study identifies three mechanisms of the impact: information disclosure, information dissemination, and health concerns.

Summary: This research explores the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and human marketing agents on consumer responses to negative and positive offers. When faced with offers that are worse than expected, consumers are more willing to accept AI agents, whereas for offers that are better than expected, consumers prefer human agents. The study also found that marketers can anthropomorphize AI agents to strengthen consumer perception of their intentions and receive recognition for better offers while mitigating blame for worse offers.

More moral behaviors are needed to reverse initial impressions.

Summary: This article reviews the important immune populations in the cHL tumor microenvironment, focusing on their integrative functional signatures. The cHL microenvironment plays a significant role in tumor cell survival. HRS cells promote their survival through intrinsic and extrinsic alterations, leading to immunosuppression. cHL is proving to be an ideal model for studying immune checkpoint blockade, with druggable key signaling pathways identified. Additionally, numerous biomarkers for predicting treatment response await further validation.

Summary: Estimating drug efficacy for malaria requires genetic profiling, which is notoriously difficult in practice. The recent update to WHO guidelines provides a wider range of analyses for more accurate estimates of drug failure rates. However, due to better detection of treatment failures, estimated failure rates may double.

Summary: Research shows that the impact of tax news on the economy depends on the state of the economy, with news about future tax cuts being more contractionary during recessions. This nonlinearity is primarily due to the responses of durable consumption and, especially, nonresidential investment.

Summary: The study found that the positive information framework is more effective in motivating consumers to purchase green products when they are in closer psychological distances, while the negative information framework plays a better facilitating role in contexts with farther distances. Fear and hope are intrinsic causes of the positive framework effect, while shame and pride are the emotions responsible for the negative framework effect.

Summary: We propose a closed-form solution that connects the probability of informed trading (PIN) to the parameter indicating whether the private information is good or bad. By estimating PIN using illegal insider trading data, we find that PIN is sensitive to the certainty of positive private information, providing a new explanation for the limitations of PIN in prior literature.

Summary: This study explores the perception of multiple stakeholders on a good death for people living with dementia. The findings reveal that a good death is viewed as a process rather than a single event, involving painless death, dying in a preferred environment, family's coping with loss, maintaining regular life, living with respect, and preparation for death.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the use of clozapine and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in individuals with treatment-resistant psychosis. The study found that the utilization of these treatments was low and clozapine trials were often terminated prematurely without adequate testing. The study suggests strategies should be implemented to optimize the use of clozapine therapy and ECT in clinical settings to improve the therapeutic effectiveness for treatment-resistant psychosis.

Summary: The study identified eight new emperor penguin breeding locations and rediscovered three previously known sites, totaling 61 breeding sites. Most of the new colonies are small and may only increase the total population by 5-10%. The use of Sentinel2 satellite imagery facilitated the discoveries, with many colonies found in offshore habitats, indicating that population decreases for the species may be greater than previously thought under business-as-usual greenhouse gas emissions scenarios.
