Summary: Pediatric endocrinology heavily relies on hormone stimulation tests, but the study found that using single basal hormone concentrations could potentially save up to half of the tests and significant costs. By analyzing the distribution and prevalence of endocrine stimulation tests, the study suggests that basal hormone determinations could help optimize resources and reduce unnecessary tests in pediatric patients.

Summary: Traditional research suggests that sharing information between a retailer and a manufacturer in a supply chain leads to a loss for the retailer. However, this study shows that when the manufacturer produces both new and remanufactured products, the retailer's trade-offs change. Sharing demand information with the manufacturer becomes beneficial for the retailer if remanufacturing is possible. The study also highlights that remanufacturing and information sharing can result in a triple-win situation for the retailer, the manufacturer, and the environment.

Summary: Clients may feel coerced into sharing personal data with insurance companies, which violates their autonomy. This choice to accept digital surveillance also threatens the client's autonomy. The adoption of digital surveillance by insurers creates further threats against autonomy. More moral and empirical research is needed on this issue.

Summary: Including children in biomedical research requires ethical and legal reflection and improvement. Reconsent procedures and updating of data should be implemented as children grow. Standard operating procedures and collaboration with scientific networks are necessary for effective sharing of data and samples in pediatric research.

Summary: This paper addresses the computational challenges posed by large-scale and high-dimensional genome sequencing data, and develops two efficient solvers for optimization problems in this context. By utilizing a two-bit representation for genetic matrices, the memory requirement is reduced and computational speed is improved. The proposed methods successfully solve Lasso, group Lasso, linear, logistic, and Cox regression problems on sparse genetic matrices within 10 minutes using less than 32GB of memory.

Summary: Research shows that a common pattern of control in firms is to have management retain a broad set of rights, while other stakeholders have targeted veto rights over specific decisions. This shared control pattern allows management to consider stakeholders' interests while preventing self-interested stakeholders from blocking valuable proposals.

Summary: This paper contributes to the debates on practical, ethical, and epistemological issues in qualitative data sharing by examining data sharing practices in Conversation Analysis (CA). Despite the central position of data sharing in CA, it has been largely ignored in qualitative data sharing debates. The paper argues that the methodological traditions of CA provide a strong case for qualitative data sharing and suggests open data sharing practices that can be adopted in other qualitative approaches.

Summary: This article reviews existing image repositories that meet the criteria for imaging biobanks. The majority of imaging biobanks are located in Europe and the United States, with a focus on neurodegenerative and oncological diseases. MRI is the most frequently used imaging modality, and most biobanks require access requests.

Summary: The booming parcel shipping business has attracted wide attention, with the trunk line being easier to manage but the first mile facing challenges of high empty haul rates and low efficiency. This paper explores a new business model of establishing a common service platform for the first mile and investigates strategic decisions of courier logistics companies in a competitive market. Results show that cooperation with the platform can lead to profit increases for companies and price decreases for customers, but companies running two channels may suffer profit losses under intense internal competition.

Summary: Ridesplitting is considered a promising mode of sustainable transportation, but its success depends on the willingness of passengers to share rides. This study proposes a big data approach to modeling individual choices between solo and shared options, using real-world trip records and various data sources. The results show spatial and temporal variations in willingness to share, with the time-fare trade-off being the most essential factor.

Summary: Shared leadership involves not only individual team members engaging in leadership, but also team members adopting complementary follower roles. This study explores the factors that enable team members to fill these roles, as well as the influence of formal leaders. Using a social network perspective, the researchers find that political skill and empowering leadership from formal leaders are important qualities that facilitate the adoption of leader and follower roles.

Summary: The study shows that the positive impact of market share on firm profit is mainly explained by market power and quality signaling, with little support for operating efficiency. Market share might negatively predict profit for niche firms and those buying market share. Insights on differentiating the value of market share between firms and industries are provided, as well as new measurement methods for goal setting and performance monitoring.

Summary: Accurate heritability estimates for fitness-related traits are crucial for predicting the ability of organisms to respond to global change. The potential issue of inflated heritability estimates due to environmental similarity among relatives has been pointed out but not examined empirically. This study investigates the link between genetic variation for habitat selection and environmental similarity, and how it affects heritability estimates for fitness-related traits. The results show that accounting for similarity in habitat composition between relatives decreases heritability estimates, suggesting that similar genotypes occupy similar environments and heritable variation may be incorrectly attributed to environmental effects.
