Summary: Metabolic changes in pregnant women, influenced by placental hormones, affect the metabolism of nutrients. Pregnancy is accompanied by increased lipid concentration and the accumulation of triglycerides in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) particles. Oxidative stress due to excessive production of free oxygen radicals plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of complications during pregnancy. The altered lipid profile and oxidative stress in pregnant women increase the risk of premature birth and pregnancy-related diseases.

Summary: Social pricing is a novel pricing framework that allows price differentiation based on consumers' social value. It has been found effective in increasing profits for online retailers, not only with new customers but also with existing ones. Perceived engagement and social cost are identified as the key drivers, leading to increased purchasing frequency and higher order value. Varying social interactions based on heterogeneity in consumers' purchasing frequencies further enhances the benefits of social pricing.

Summary: This study investigates whether CEO pay cut announcements during the COVID-19 pandemic serve as symbolic gestures to appease stakeholders. The findings indicate that firms making CEO pay cut announcements are more likely to announce news that negatively affects stakeholders, suggesting that pay cut announcements are used to alleviate stakeholder pressure. Additionally, the study reveals that CEO pay cut announcements are associated with lower CEO salaries but not total pay, with salary cuts being substituted by increases in cash bonuses. These findings suggest that the announcements are symbolic in nature.
