Cognitive Reappraisal is Associated with Lower Dysphoria Symptoms During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Armstrong Nadia , Moon Diane
Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented mental health concerns generally, but particularly for young adults navigating an already fluctuating and uncertain period of their lives. While there are many factors related to mental health, it is well-documented that emotion regulation– the ability to modulate an emotion or set of emotions– and risk perception appear to be relevant to the development, maintenance, and treatment of psychopathology. The current study aimed to assess the relationship between emotion regulation processes, COVID-19 risk perception, and dysphoria symptoms during the early months of the pandemic. Between April - May 2020, 243 undergraduate participants completed the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the dysphoria subscale of the IDAS-II, and questions about their perceived risk of COVID-19. Two subfacets of emotion regulation known as cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression were analyzed specifically. Results indicated, contrary to hypotheses, no significant interaction between cognitive reappraisal and risk perception on dysphoria, nor was there a significant interaction between expressive suppression and risk perception on dysphoria. However, there were significant main effects of cognitive reappraisal on dysphoria and expressive suppression on dysphoria indicating cognitive reappraisal may be a more beneficial emotion strategy for maintaining mental health.

Does IT Enable Collusion or Competition: Examining the Effects of IT on Service Pricing in Multimarket Multihospital Systems
Authors:   The University of Massachusetts Boston, Du Kui , Tanriverdi Hüseyin ,   The University of Texas at Austin
Published: January 2024

In the U.S., multihospital systems (MHSs) charge significantly higher prices for hospital services than stand-alone hospitals. Rivalry restraint theory suggests that MHS with multimarket contact (MMC) can tacitly collude and mutually forebear from price competition to keep their prices above competitive levels. We posit that the success of such MMC-induced rivalry restraints (the truce) is affected by two conflicting roles of IT at the corporate level and market unit levels, respectively. The corporate parent seeks to standardize IT applications enterprise-wide to coordinate market units as a means of jointly implementing the rivalry restraint strategy and keeping prices high enterprise-wide. However, market units, i.e., the member hospitals of MHS clustered in geographic patient markets, face competitive pressures to reduce their service costs. Market units seek to use differentiated IT applications to achieve cost reductions, which then fuel price competition in local markets, jeopardize the sustainability of the truce, and weaken the enterprise-wide price effects of the corporate parent’s rivalry restraint strategy. In a longitudinal study of 195 multihospital systems in the U.S. in the 2005-2013 time period, we found support for these ideas. The corporate-wide standardization of the operational IT of MHS complements the rivalry restraint strategy to increase enterprise-wide prices. Market units’ use of differentiated analytical IT reduces costs in local markets and weakens the price effects of the rivalry restraint strategy. The study advances IS research and practice by theorizing how the corporate-level and the market unit-level IT of a multi-unit, multimarket (MUMM) organization can have opposing moderating effects on the link between MMC and the average prices charged by the MUMM organization.
The Effect of Posted Prices on Auction Prices: An Empirical Investigation of a Multichannel B2B Market

Published: January 2024

Although multichannel sales strategies have become common due to the use of advanced information technologies, how one trading mechanism can influence the outcome of another, especially in the B2B market, remains largely underexplored. This paper investigates the effect of price and quantity information from an online posted-price presales channel on the performance of the century-old sequential Dutch auction system. Sellers can control the price paid and make a proportion of their stock available in auction presales. Anything left after presales is sold via auctions. Our analysis of nearly 1.5 million flower lots reveals a positive effect with higher auction prices and total revenue for lots listed in presales than for lots that are not. The result holds even for lots with no actual sales in the presales, indicating that buyers pay close attention to the additional information from the posted-price presales channel. By teasing out the information effect of presales prices and presales quantity on auction prices, we evaluate a number of pricing strategies. The results suggest that selling at a high price in presales is still more beneficial than selling more by discounting prices.
Co-énonciation et mise en circulations des savoirs dans des contextes de travail
Authors: Cunha Gustavo , Zogmal Marianne
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to examine the mechanism of co-enunciation in two different institutional settings and the functions played by this phenomenon in these settings. To do so, the paper briefly presents an interactional and discursive perspective of the epistemic dimension. Next, we propose a definition of the notion of co-enunciation. This theoretical approach is used for analyzing examples of co-enunciation in the contexts of initial vocational training and assessment interviews in the field of early childhood education. In these two contexts, the circulation of knowledge leads to a certain instability of reciprocal epistemic positions. Consequently, co-enunciation constitutes a resource with which the participants reveal epistemic (a)symmetries between them and the degrees of affiliation that these (a)symmetries imply.

Molten Salt-Assisted synthesis of Titanium Nitride
Authors: Parvizian Mahsa , De Roo Jonathan
Published: January 2024

Titanium nitride is an exciting plasmonic material, with optical properties similar to gold. However, synthesizing TiN nanocrystals is highly challenging and typically requires solid-state reactions at very high temperatures (800-1000°C). Here, we achieve the synthesis of TiN nanocrystals at temperatures as low as 350°C, in just three hours. The strategy comprises molten salt, Mg as reductant and Ca3N2 as nitride source. This brings TiN from the realm of solid-state chemistry into the field of solution-based synthesis in regular, borosilicate glassware.
Molecular Graph Transformer: Stepping Beyond ALIGNN Into Long-Range Interactions
Authors: Anselmi Marco , Slabaugh Greg , Crespo-Otero Rachel , Di Tommaso Devis
Published: January 2024

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have revolutionized material property prediction by learning directly from the structural information of molecules and materials. However, conventional GNN models rely solely on local atomic interactions, such as bond lengths and angles, neglecting crucial longrange electrostatic forces that aect certain properties. To address this, we introduce the Molecular Graph Transformer (MGT), a novel GNN architecture that combines local attention mechanisms with message passing on both bond graphs and their line graphs, explicitly capturing long-range interactions. Benchmarking on MatBench and Quantum MOF (QMOF) datasets demonstrates that MGT's improved understanding of electrostatic interactions signicantly enhances the prediction accuracy of properties like exfoliation energy and refractive index, while maintaining state-of-theart performance on all other properties. This breakthrough paves the way for the development of highly accurate and efficient materials design tools across diverse applications.

Published: January 2024

Asymmetric organocatalysis has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry by the IUPAC in 2019. Its potential to make chemical processes more sustainable is promising, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed. Developing new and reliable enantioselective processes for reproducing batch reactions on a large scale requires a combination of chemical and technical solutions. In this manuscript, we combine a robust immobilized chiral phosphoric acid with a new packed-bed reactor design. This combination allows scaling up the enantioselective addition of thiols to imines from a few milligrams to a multi-decagram scale in a continuous flow process without physical or chemical degradation of the catalyst.

Since its discovery in December 2019, the coronavirus illness (COVID-19) has spread fast over the world, affecting nearly every country. The condition, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a substantial clinical concern, overburdening healthcare systems and creating a public health risk. The prevalence of pre-existing cardiovascular illness is one of the major concerns for people infected with COVID-19. Patients with underlying heart diseases, such as chronic heart failure or coronary artery disease, had a higher risk of severe consequences and death from COVID-19, according to research. This is because of the virus’s interaction with the circulatory system, which can result in myocardial injury, cardiac arrest, and fast decompensation in severely ill individuals. Given the general population’s high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, it is critical to understand the possible impact of COVID-19 on these patients. Clinicians should give special attention to the management of patients with pre-existing cardiac disease, which should include a full re-evaluation of medication and regular monitoring of ventilation effects. The necessity of detecting and treating cardiovascular problems in COVID-19 patients cannot be emphasized. COVID-19 has become a worldwide clinical issue, and patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disorders are at a higher risk of complications and death. As a result, healthcare practitioners must be very careful in managing these patients, offering personalized care and monitoring for cardiovascular problems.

Published: January 2024

The importance of urban parks in the transmission of dengue fever should not be underestimated, and such parks should be incorporated into existing vector control initiatives. Our research seeks to identify the features of containers in major public parks in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where Aedes sp. mosquitoes breed. Additionally, this study utilized spatial analysis to create a map of the geographical distribution of Aedes sp. breeding sites. Five primary and popular parks in Kuala Lumpur located within a 400-metre radius of dengue outbreak areas in 2018 were chosen based on their high number of visitors. An entomological survey was carried out, and the coordinates and characteristics of water containers were documented. Average Nearest Neighbourhood (ANN) and Kernel Density estimation methods were utilized to assess the spatial distribution of Aedes sp. breeding. The ANN results indicated that the observed mean distance of Aedes sp. breeding was 35.55 metres for BP, 61.19 metres for TM, 67.77 metres for TT, 110.14 metres for KM and 25.43 metres for AD. Based on the z-score calculation, this study discovered a clustered breeding pattern at BP, TM and AD; a dispersed pattern was observed at TT, and a random pattern was detected at KM. Kernel Density estimation was applied to generate hotspot maps for each park. Two factors that were significantly associated with the abundance of Aedes sp. larvae were identified, which include the presence of rainwater (aOR=21.89, 95% CI=6.54-73.20) and the absence of a roof (aOR=4.19, 95% CI=2.38-7.37). By mapping dengue vectors and identifying key breeding containers and their features, this study serves as a valuable resource for public park management to establish focused vector control efforts.

Maarak Tambun has two kinds of rituals, namely, Mandaghai (bloody), and mamujo (worshipping). The methods that were born in the concept of this manyeso dance work include observation, data processing, literature study, selection of dance supporters, exploration, movement arrangement, improvisation, and evaluation. The form in the manyeso dance has three parts, the first part describes the pain experienced by all family members and does not go away, the second part is a problem experienced by a person so that he becomes limping when carrying it. In this section, the property of the fabric is described as a problem that binds the dancer's body parts. The conflict in this work is the struggle for cloth with the intention that the problems that occur are like a tug of war that is being felt by someone. The third part of the problem can be solved if we draw closer to Allah.

In the first part, the artist transforms the lipek technique using his hands, feet and body. The second part transforms the weaving technique by using the properties of the cloth and in this part the dancers perform complementary movements.
