Summary: This study examines why some M&A deals are withdrawn, highlighting the impact of economic freedom and legal environment of countries. The research findings show that higher economic freedom/legal environment in the acquiring (target) firm's country leads to higher likelihood of deal withdrawal. Additionally, factors such as larger target firm size, lower profitability, and smaller acquiring firm size increase the chances of deal withdrawal.

Summary: Most high-profile disasters are followed by demands for investigation, but political pressures and lack of good social science methods often lead to flawed postmortems. Psychological biases also contribute to these flawed investigations.

Summary: The study explores the paradox of green consumers failing to carry out environmental behaviors despite intent, shedding light on environmentalism, sustainability, and green marketing. Two environmentalist archetypes, Wizards and Prophets, have different inclinations towards environmental behavior and responses to marketing messages, with Wizards reacting negatively which decreases their environmental behavior, while Prophets are stimulated to increase their environmental behavior when compelled.

Summary: This study investigates a wide range of factors potentially explaining software build breakages, with a focus on features such as build history, author, code complexity, and code smells. Results show that these features are the most important predictors of build failures, achieving high precision and recall in balanced project datasets but lower performance in imbalanced datasets. Cross-project prediction using models trained on balanced datasets leads to an average improvement in precision and recall on imbalanced projects.

Summary: This paper investigates the sustainable solution of collection-and-delivery points (CDPs) as urban logistics innovations, and analyzes a failure case to understand the reasons behind its failure. Supply chain and market-related factors play significant roles in the success of sustainable logistics innovations, with key factors including collaboration opportunities, strong network partnerships, and diversified value propositions.

Summary: Vertebrates, with over 70,000 living species, play a significant role in biology and research, especially in the study of karyotype evolution. The mysterious presence of microchromosomes in many vertebrate karyotypes raises questions about their evolutionary origins and unique genome structure characteristics. Recent studies have shed light on the high gene densities, low heterochromatin levels, and high recombination rates of microchromosomes, expanding our understanding of karyotype evolution dynamics.

Summary: This paper focuses on corporate-led efforts to stop deforestation and identifies four reasons behind their failure: global trade and supply-chain obscurity, power dynamics in supply chains, neglected consumption in emerging economies, and diluted goal setting. We call upon corporate sustainability scholars to develop novel corporate sustainability initiatives that can address the complex challenge of deforestation. We propose three broad areas of research to advance scholarship on the role of corporate sustainability in stopping deforestation: zero-deforestation supply chains, zero-deforestation consumption, and nature-positive business models.

Summary: Why do some entrepreneurs in developing environments thrive while others fail? This study suggests that variations in network content, such as resource variety and spanning, can explain performance differences among entrepreneurs with low structural variation in their networks. The findings are based on a random sample of 200 Chinese necessity entrepreneurs in Shanghai. By focusing on network content, this study contributes to the research on entrepreneurial networks, which has primarily focused on network structures. It also adds to the understanding of how heterogeneous network content can influence business performance.

Summary: During economic turbulence caused by the US-China conflict and COVID-19, the sunk cost effect in international business literature has gained attention. Relying on sunk costs for strategic positioning in export markets is considered a rational decision due to the difficulty in predicting export profits. However, there is a lack of quantitative studies on variations of the sunk cost effect in export-exit decision-making. In our study, we quantified the sunk cost effect in terms of export performance and export portfolio, specifically regarding export-exit probability.

Fisheries

Summary: All animals need food to grow, but the strategies for acquiring food vary greatly among different species and individuals. Some fish are aggressive and take high risks to obtain food, while others are more submissive and opportunistic. Faster growth is generally associated with greater food consumption, as long as the energy obtained from the food exceeds the metabolic cost of an active lifestyle. However, fast-growing fish also have higher baseline metabolism, which may be related to their gut morphology and digestive efficiency. The interplay between an individual's genes and environment plays a crucial role in regulating their growth phenotype. This review aims to understand why some fish grow faster than others by exploring the intricate relationships among behavior, physiology, and the gut microbiome.

Summary: This article examines the scalability issue of Bitcoin and concludes that increasing block capacity is not a viable solution. The study reveals the possibility of collusion among miners, who strategically partially fill blocks to reverse the capacity and gain economic benefits. It also suggests that protocol design intervention can eliminate collusion but at the expense of system security. The article highlights the economic limits of Bitcoin's scalability and argues against including different types of payments on a single chain.

Summary: The current study investigates the role of various catalytic motifs in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction and shows that a bidentate oxyanion hole cooperating with an acid-base catalyst can stabilize multiple steps along the reaction pathway. The calculations also indicate the potential dual role of a guanidinium ion in stabilizing oxyanion intermediates and mediating the proton transfer. This study emphasizes the importance of a conformationally adaptable preorganized electrostatic environment in promoting such multistep transformations.
