Intentionality, not just agency: bringing intended meaning back into the micro–macro institutionalization processes

ABSTRACT Organization theory and organizational institutionalism have moved toward a more generative understanding of agency to better account for the relation between the microfoundations and macrofoundations of institutions. Central to such an understanding is an overlooked construct: intentionality, defined as actors’ consciousness directed at or about something, the content of which is actors’ intended meaning. Intentionality and intended meaning have three dimensions: prior intentionality, intentionality in action, and posterior intentionality. I propose that intentionality and collective intentionality mediate between macro-level structures and micro-level actions. This model allows for a more fluid conception of intended meaning before, during, and after an action, and thus facilitates a more fine-grained understanding of (1) how the macro is instantiated in the micro and how the micro transforms into the macro, (2) multiple pathways of institutional maintenance and change, and (3) the complexity of decoupling at both the micro and the macro levels.
Phage Adsorption to Gram-Positive Bacteria

The phage life cycle is a multi-stage process initiated by the recognition and attachment of the virus to its bacterial host. This adsorption step depends on the specific interaction between bacterial structures acting as receptors and viral proteins called Receptor Binding Proteins (RBP). The adsorption process is essential as it is the first determinant of phage host range and a sine qua non condition for the subsequent conduct of the life cycle. In phages belonging to the Caudoviricetes class, the capsid is attached to a tail, which is the central player in the adsorption as it comprises the RBP and accessory proteins facilitating phage binding and cell wall penetration prior to genome injection. The nature of the viral proteins involved in host adhesion not only depends on the phage morphology (i.e., myovirus, siphovirus, or podovirus) but also the targeted host. Here, we give an overview of the adsorption process and compile the available information on the type of receptors that can be recognized and the viral proteins taking part in the process, with the primary focus on phages infecting Gram-positive bacteria.
The Quality of Life of Patients with Surgically Treated Mandibular Fractures and the Relationship of the Posttraumatic Pain and Trismus with the Postoperative Complications: A Prospective Study

Background and objectives: Due to the fact that the mandible is the only movable bone in the face, it is often exposed to the influence of external forces. The incidence of trismus and posttraumatic pain in unilateral mandibular corpus fractures may be related to the occurrence of complications. There is a decrease in the quality of life of these patients. The aim was to study the relationship of the preoperative pain and trismus with the incidence of complications, as well as to investigate the quality of life. Materials and Methods: A prospective study on 60 patients with isolated mandibular fractures was performed, with a follow-up period of six months. The level of preoperative pain was measured on a 0–10 scale, while the mouth opening was measured with a caliper. All patients were treated surgically on the third day after the fracture. The University of Washington Quality of Life (UW-QOL v4) questionnaire was used to analyze the quality of life. Results: The most common types of complications were the occlusal derangement and facial asymmetry. The majority of complications were treated with counseling and physical therapy. The degree of preoperative pain was significantly positively related to the onset of complications (rs = 0.782, p = 0.004). The interincisal distance showed a significant inverse relation with the incidence of complications (rs = −0.722, p < 0.001). The patients regarded the pain, appearance and mood issues as the most important issues during the first postoperative month. Conclusions: The degree of inflammatory symptoms may be positively related to the onset of complications occurring after the rigid fixation of mandibular fractures. The postoperative health-related and overall quality of life was unsatisfactory in nearly half of the patients.
A Brain Network Analysis-Based Double Way Deep Neural Network for Emotion Recognition

Constructing reliable and effective models to recognize human emotional states has become an important issue in recent years. In this article, we propose a double way deep residual neural network combined with brain network analysis, which enables the classification of multiple emotional states. To begin with, we transform the emotional EEG signals into five frequency bands by wavelet transform and construct brain networks by inter-channel correlation coefficients. These brain networks are then fed into a subsequent deep neural network block which contains several modules with residual connection and enhanced by channel attention mechanism and spatial attention mechanism. In the second way of the model, we feed the emotional EEG signals directly into another deep neural network block to extract temporal features. At the end of the two ways, the features are concatenated for classification. To verify the effectiveness of our proposed model, we carried out a series of experiments to collect emotional EEG from eight subjects. The average accuracy of the proposed model on our emotional dataset is 94.57%. In addition, the evaluation results on public databases SEED and SEED-IV are 94.55% and 78.91%, respectively, demonstrating the superiority of our model in emotion recognition tasks.
Applicability of Trichoscopy in Scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis

Introduction: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic-recidive inflammatory skin disorder with predilection in areas rich of sebaceous gland. The most common clinical manifestations are pruritus and scales. Although SD can be diagnosed without special tools, other examinations may be needed to determine additional specific therapy. Trichoscopy is one of the noninvasive tools which can help to diagnose SD as it can provide the microstructure view of the scalp. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted to explore the trichoscopic features of SD and its characteristics. There were 96 SD patients enrolled in this study. The scalp was divided into four areas, and each area was scored based on Seborrheic Area Severity Index, comprising erythema, desquamation, number of papules, and percentage of lesion area. The most severe area was examined with a trichoscopy to observe the characteristics of hair and scalp. The association between trichoscopic findings and SD severity was analyzed with Fisher's exact test. Results: Overall, the participants were 36% males and 64% females with the mean age of 30 (13–70) years old. Based on the trichoscopic examination, the most common findings were thick hair shafts (72%), white scales (69%), arborizing thin vessels (38%), yellowish area (36%), and structureless red area (19%). These findings were not significantly different between mild and moderate SD (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the merits and demerits of trichoscopic examination, it can be helpful to aid the diagnosis of SD. Further studies in Asian population with greater sample size are needed to demonstrate more significant result.
Fast ionospheric response to enhanced activity in geospace: Ion feeding of the inner magnetotail

The role of the ionospheric particle source in the dynamic processes of the geospace was neglected, underestimated, or questioned for a long period. Recent studies have indicated a fast and effective feeding of the magnetosphere with energetic ionospheric-origin ions during periods of enhanced auroral electrojets, i.e., during the expansion and the late growth phase of substorms. Such a feeding with ionospheric ions can alter the plasma composition in the geospace system and thus influence its dynamics and evolution during substorms and magnetic storms. This paper addresses the issue of short-timescale (rather than long-term) feeding of the magnetosphere with ionospheric ions. We consider this feeding to be a result of the ionospheric response to increased auroral current dissipation due to increased solar wind - magnetosphere coupling or increased magnetospheric activity. We review and combine old and recent observations of both the ionospheric outflow and the ionospheric ions in the magnetosphere, along with transport and energization mechanisms for the relatively cold ionospheric outflowing ions and the potential implications of their enhanced presence in the magnetosphere for the dynamics of geospace processes (substorms/storms). We suggest that a fast feeding of the near magnetotail with ionospheric ions can lead to a transient localized dominance of heavy ionospheric ions (namely O + ) and consequently to an ionospheric regulation of the evolution of dynamic geospace processes. Accordingly, we suggest that the role of the ionosphere within the dynamic geospace coupling be given more emphasis : the ionosphere should be regarded not only as a material source for the magnetosphere but also as an active element in dynamic geospace processes.
A Technology-Computer-Aided-Design-Based Reliability Prediction Model for DRAM Storage Capacitors

A full three-dimensional technology-computer-aided-design-based reliability prediction model was proposed for dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) storage capacitors. The model can be used to predict the time-dependent dielectric breakdown as well as leakage current of a state-of-the-art DRAM storage capacitor with a complex three-dimensional structure.

Binary-single-star scattering. IV - Analytic approximations and fitting formulae for cross sections and reaction rates

Gravitational scattering processes are discussed within a physical framework similar to that used in laboratory scattering, the main differences being that our projectiles and targets are made up out of stars and that our laboratory is a computer. As in other scattering problems, our aim is to synthesize exact results (such as detailed balance), theoreticaI estimates, asymptotic analyses, and experimental data, in order to establish simple formulae for the relevant cross sections and reaction rates. The present paper aims at depth, rather than breadth, by presenting a comprehensive treatment of a limited set of processes. The limitation lies in our choice of experiments − binary-single-star scattering in the equal-mass point-particle approximation − and our choice of measurements − energy transfer between projectile and target averaged over a thermal eccentricity distribution for the target binary
Trapped fields greater than 7 T in a 12 mm square stack of commercial high-temperature superconducting tape

Superconducting bulks can be magnetized to act as powerful permanent magnets; however, for high trapped fields at temperatures below 77 K, bulks have poor thermal stability and are limited by low mechanical strength. The trapped fields reported in this paper are between two stacks of commercial high-temperature superconducting tape each with 120 layers, magnetized by field cooling. 7.34 T was trapped at approximately 4.2 K, the highest field ever achieved for such a sample. The trapped field also continued to increase below 20 K showing high thermal stability, largely due to the silver over-layer which effectively dissipates heat.
How empowerment and materialism contribute to anti-consumers’ well-being

Purpose Because steadily growing consumption is not beneficial for nature and climate and is not the same as increasing well-being, an anti-consumerism movement has formed worldwide. The renouncement of dispensable consumption will, however, only establish itself as a significant lifestyle if consumers do not perceive reduced consumption as a personal sacrifice. Since prior research has not yielded a consistent understanding of the relationship between anti-consumption and personal well-being, this paper aims to examine three factors about which theory implies that they may moderate this relationship: decision-control empowerment, market-control empowerment and the value of materialism. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on data from a large-scale, representative online survey (N = 1,398). Structural equation modelling with latent interaction effects is used to test how three moderators (decision-control empowerment, market-control empowerment and materialism) affect the relationship amongst four types of anti-consumption (e.g. voluntary simplicity) and three different well-being states (e.g. subjective well-being). Findings While both dimensions of empowerment almost always directly promote consumer well-being, significant moderation effects are present in only a few but meaningful cases. Although the materialism value tends to reduce consumers’ well-being, it improves the well-being effect of two anti-consumption styles. Research limitations/implications Using only one sample from a wealthy country is a limitation of the study. Researchers should replicate the findings in different nations and cultures. Practical implications Consumer affairs practitioners and commercial marketing for sustainably produced, high-quality and long-lasting goods can benefit greatly from these findings. Social implications This paper shows that sustainable marketing campaigns can more easily motivate consumers to voluntarily reduce their consumption for the benefit of society and the environment if a high level of market-control empowerment can be communicated to them. Originality/value This study provides differentiated new insights into the roles of consumer empowerment, i.e. both decision-control empowerment and market-control empowerment, and the value of materialism to frame specific relationships between different anti-consumption types and various well-being states.
Individual variation of the hypopharyngeal cavities and its acoustic effects

Morphological measurements of the hypopharynx are conducted to investigate the correlation between fine structures of the vocal tract and speaker characteristics. The hypopharynx includes the laryngeal tube and bilateral cavities of the piriform fossa. MRI data during sustained phonation of the five Japanese vowels by four subjects are obtained to analyze intra- and inter-speaker variation of the hypopharynx. Morphological analysis on the mid-sagittal and transverse planes revealed that the shape of the hypopharynx was relatively stable, regardless of vowel type, in contrast to relatively large inter-speaker variation, and these results are confirmed quantitatively by a simple similarity method. The small intra-speaker variation of the hypopharynx is confirmed by further morphological analysis using high-quality MRI data for one of the subjects, obtained by using the “phonation-synchronized method” and “custom laryngeal coil. ” Furthermore, acoustical effects of the individual variation of the hypopharynx are estimated by using a transmission line model. Vocal tract area function of one of the subjects above the hypopharynx is combined with the hypopharyngeal cavities of other subjects, and their transfer functions are calculated. The results show that the inter-speaker variation of the hypopharynx affects spectra in the frequency range beyond approximately 2.5 kHz.
Human Milk Processing and Its Effect on Protein and Leptin Concentrations

(1) Background: For the storage of human milk (HM), freezing, thawing, and/or pasteurization are routinely used in neonatal intensive care units. We aimed to analyze the effects of different HM processing types on the nutritional contents in HM, adipose tissue, and the neuroprotection markers leptin and adiponectin. (2) Methods: HM samples from 136 mothers of preterm and term infants (gestational age 23 + 0 to 41 + 6) were collected and divided into four groups: (i) fresh HM, (ii) fresh pasteurized HM, (iii) thawed HM, and (iv) thawed pasteurized HM. The macronutrients were analyzed by mid-infrared transmission spectroscopy and the adiponectin and leptin were analyzed by high-sensitivity adiponectin and leptin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). (3) Results: No significant differences were observed in the protein, carbohydrate, or fat concentrations between the HM processing types. The leptin levels were significantly lower after pasteurization in comparison to HM without pasteurization (p < 0.001). The protein levels in extremely preterm HM were significantly lower compared to those in moderate/late preterm HM and term HM (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: HM processing had an impact on leptin concentrations but no effect on the protein level. These data support the use of unpasteurized human milk for preterm infants’ nutrition and normal brain development. The protein levels of the milk of mothers from preterm compared to full-term infants differed, underlining the importance of individualized target fortification.
Impact of Exogenous Xylanase and Phytase, Individually or in Combination, on Performance, Digesta Viscosity and Carcass Characteristics in Broiler Birds Fed Wheat-Based Diets

Simple Summary Wheat is a staple food in Pakistan and Government of Pakistan stores huge amount of wheat every year to maintain food supply chains especially during scarcity period. Every year, surplus stored wheat is provided to poultry feed manufacturers at lower price and poultry feed manufacturers use stored wheat in diet of poultry with different exogenous enzymes. However, no data is available on the utilization of stored wheat (1.5 and 2.5 years storage) with or without exogenous enzymes in broilers. This study will provide evidence that storage of wheat will require exogenous enzymes in the diet of broilers for enhanced productivity. Abstract The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of stored wheat-based diet (1.5 and 2.5 years stored wheat) with and without the supplementation of xylanase and phytase enzymes in combination or individually on performance parameters, digestibility, digesta viscosity and carcass characteristics of broilers. For this purpose, a total of 640-day-old male broilers were randomly distributed to the 64 pens, and each pen had 10 birds. Two basal isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets contained 1.5 and 2.5 years stored wheat were formulated in this experiment. In the current study, experimental feeds were prepared by supplementing exogenous enzymes in both basal diets with xylanase (500 XU), phytase (500 FTU) alone or in a combination of phytase and xylanase. Performance parameters data represents that both in starter phase and finisher phase, inclusion of exogenous enzymes xylanase and phytase in both basal diets alone or in combination enhance the feed intake, and body weight gain (p < 0.05) and improve the feed conversion ratio in overall phase (p < 0.05). Similarly, supplementation of exogenous xylanase and phytase alone or in combination enhance the nutrient digestibility and reduce the digesta viscosity (p < 0.05). Based on the results of this experiment, it is concluded that supplementation of exogenous xylanase and phytase enzymes alone or in combination in wheat-based diets (stored wheat 1.5 and 2.5 years) enhance and improves the performance of birds.
Modelling the projectile motion of a cricket ball

The equations of motion governing the trajectory of a cricket ball subject to a linear drag force are developed. A perturbation expansion technique is used to solve the resulting (transcendental) trajectory equation for the range of a cricket ball struck into the outfield. Improvements in accuracy resulting from including more terms in the approximate range equation are examined and significant departures from the predictions of zero drag theory are encountered. For an interesting (although rare! ) cricket match scenario wherein a batsman hits a straight drive back past the bowler for six, it is found that if the ball leaves the bat at 40m/s, at an angle of elevation of 30°, it will clear a boundary line 90 m away. This requires the batsman to accelerate :he bat at approximately four times the acceleration due to gravity. A follow up field study aimed at comparing the predictions of linear drag theory with observation is also suggested.
On the spectroscopic orbit of the bright WC binary gamma 2 Velorum, with implications for the evolutionary scenario of Wolf-Rayet stars.

A series of over 50 spectroscopic plates distributed over three orbital cycles confirm the radial-velocity (RV) orbit for this 78.5 day, WC 8 + O9 I binary, as determined recently by Niemela and Sahade (1980). On the basis of RV perturbations, no evidience is found for a third, low-mass body in the system, as proposed elsewhere in the literature. Comparison with other WC + O binaries reveals a trend of mass ratio with spectral subclass, such that the cooler, late-type, WCL stars are more massive relative to their O companions than the hotter, early-type, WCE stars. Therefore, the finite lifetime of the WC phase combined with the observed high mass-loss rate for W-R stars implies that WCL stars may evolve into WCE stars. This scenario goes in the right sense if the peeling-off process of the wind exposes a progressively hotter core. 24 references.
The Risk of Sarcoidosis Misdiagnosis and the Harmful Effect of Corticosteroids When the Disease Picture Is Incomplete

Sarcoidosis is a complex granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Due to the heterogeneity of the disease, the diagnosis remains challenging in many cases, often at the physician’s discretion, requiring a thorough and complex investigation. Many other granulomatous diseases have the potential to mimic sarcoidosis, whether infectious, occupational, or autoimmune diseases and starting an unnecessary corticosteroid treatment can worsen the patient’s prognosis, leading to side effects that can be harder to treat than the actual disease.
Stability Increase of Aerodynamically Unstable Rotors Using Intentional Mistuning

A new simple asymptotic mistuning model, which constitutes an extension of the well known fundamental mistuning model for groups of modes belonging to a modal family exhibiting a large variation of the tuned vibration characteristics, is used to analyze the effect of mistuning on the stability properties of aerodynamically unstable rotors. The model assumes that both the aerodynamics and the structural dynamics of the assembly are linear, and retains the first-order terms of a fully consistent asymptotic expansion of the tuned system where the small parameter is the blade mistuning. The simplicity of the model allows the optimization of the blade mistuning pattern to achieve maximum rotor stability. The results of the application of this technique to realistic welded-in-pair and interlock low-pressure-turbine rotors are also presented.
Boiling helium heat transfer characteristics in narrow cooling channel

For design of a stable superconducting magnet with pool cooling method, the size of the cooling channel is one of the important factors to determine its overall current density. We measured the steady state boiling helium heat transfer characteristics in a 600 mm long vertical cooling channel. The result shows that heat transfer characteristics in film boiling region do not become worse so far as the channel is not extremely narrow and rather becomes better adding some amount of bubbles in the channel, whereas that in nucleate boiling region becomes worse monotoneously and rapidly as the thickness of the channel decreases. From these results, it proves to be much better to choose the superconductor whose critical temperature is high to get the high current density stable magnets and also proves to be able to design stable pool-boiling magnets as large as toroidal coils for Tokamak machines of the next generation.
