Social trust and corporate social responsibility: Evidence from China

Abstract: Based on neo‐institutional theory, this paper examines whether social trust can influence corporate social responsibility (CSR). Using a sample of 4,209 observations selected from 788 firms listed in China between 2008 and 2015 and adopting an ordinary least square regression, we provide strong empirical evidence showing that social trust is positively associated with CSR. The result supports the view that social trust, as a kind of socially normative force, helps corporate managers safeguard stakeholders' interests by engaging in socially responsible activities. Our result holds after applying a series of robustness tests. We further find the positive relationship between social trust and CSR is more pronounced for state‐owned companies. This paper is one of the first to focus on and examine the relationship between social trust and CSR, and the findings contribute to our understanding of the determinants of CSR and highlight the influential role of social trust in improving CSR.

Shotgun Lipidomics Strategy for Fast Analysis of Phospholipids in Fisheries Waste and Its Potential in Species Differentiation

Abstract: An efficient shotgun lipidomics strategy was established and optimized for fast phospholipid profiling of viscera from three fish species: Lateolabrax japonicas, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, and Carassius auratus. This strategy relies on direct infusion of total lipid extracts into a tandem mass spectrometer without additional separation of the individual molecular species. Four classes of phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylserine (PS), were analyzed, and at least 81 molecular species of phospholipids were identified, including 34 species of PC, 24 species of PE, 12 species of PS, and 11 species of PI, in both positive- and negative-ion electrospray ionization mode. The results show that fish viscera, which are traditionally discarded as fisheries wastes, are nutritional in phospholipids with total contents of the four detected phospholipid classes ranging from 1.52 to 3.29 mg/g in the three tested fish species.
