Why Zoom Is Not Doomed Yet: Privacy and Security Crisis Response in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Chen Wenhong , Zou Yuan
Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic not only fueled the explosive growth of Zoom but also led to a major privacy and security crisis in March 2020. This research examines Zoom’s response to this privacy and security crisis with the aid of a producer’s perspective that aims to direct attention to institutional and organizational actors and draws on theories of privacy management and organizational crisis communication. We primarily use data from 14 weekly Ask Eric Anything webinars from April 8 to July 15, 2020, to illustrate the strategies of Zoom’s crisis response, especially organizational representation, the contours of its analytic account acknowledging and minimizing responsibility, and patterns of corrective and preventive action for user education and product improvement. Results demonstrate the usefulness of the producer’s perspective that sheds light on how Zoom navigated the privacy and security crisis. Special attention is paid to the mobilization of networks of executives, advisors, consultants, and clients for expertise, endorsement, and collaboration. It is argued that Zoom’s response strategies have contributed to Zoom’s organizational mission and culture and reframed the crisis from a growing pain to a growth opportunity relating to privacy and security. Zoom’s nimble, reasonable, collaborative, interactive yet curated organizational response to the privacy and security crisis can be seen as an unintended consequence of its sudden rise amid a global pandemic. It offers a useful model for tech firms’ crisis response at a crucial moment for the tech industry around the world.
U.S. Nonprofit Organizations Respond to the COVID-19 Crisis: The Influence of Communication, Crisis Experiences, Crisis Management, and Organizational Characteristics
Authors: Fuller Ryan P. , Rice Ronald E. , Pyle Andrew
Published: February 2023

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are significant contributors culturally, socially, and economically, but little research has focused on their response to organizational crises. Research has been quickly documenting impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on different sectors, but again less so for NPOs. This is significant because research and recommendations developed in one sector (such as for-profit corporations) may not translate to others (such as NPOs). NPOs are particularly vulnerable, due to their dependence on public financial support and demands on their resources during crises. We report on a unique and unfortunate opportunity to assess response dynamics from a half year before (2019) and a half year after (2020) the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We draw on a unique dataset combining surveys at two points in time, Twitter use data, and financial information, from 578 NPOs to develop a general model (grounded in the discourse of renewal theory) of five sources of influence (communication, organizational resources, crisis experience, crisis management, crisis impacts) on three types of strategic responses by nonprofits (retrenchment, persevering, and innovating) to COVID-19. Higher levels of communication, crisis experience, and crisis management all predicted greater tendencies for persevering and innovating in response to COVID-19. The implications for research and practice include extending crisis communication research to the nonprofit sector and demonstrating how NPOs can strengthen themselves to recover from COVID-19 or the next crisis.
Expansion of a Pharmacist-Led Culture Follow-Up Program to Real-Time Notification of Multidrug-Resistant Microbiology Results in the Emergency Department
Authors: Andrade Justin , Truong James , Ciaramella Christine
Published: February 2023

Introduction: There are currently limited published data for a pharmacist-led multidrug-resistant (MDR) culture follow-up program through a collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) agreement in the emergency department (ED). Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a pharmacist-led culture follow-up program for MDR microbiology results on ED revisit rate. Methods: A single-center quasi-experimental retrospective study was conducted comparing the outcomes before (December 2017 to March 2019) and after (April 2019 to July 2020) implementation of the ED MDR Culture program. Patients 18 years of age or older; with confirmed positive microbiology culture of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) at any site; and discharged from the ED were included. The primary outcome was to evaluate ED revisit within 30 days due to antimicrobial treatment failure, defined as lack of resolution or worsening of infection. A statistical analysis was performed for categorical data using Fisher’s exact test, and for continuous data using unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney U Test, when applicable. Results: A total of 130 patients were included in the analysis. Patients in the post-implementation group (n = 70) had a significant reduction in ED revisits compared to the pre-implementation group (n = 60); 9 [12.9%] versus 17 [28.3%], respectively; P = .046. Conclusion: Implementation of an ED MDR culture program was associated with significantly less ED revisits within 30 days due to antimicrobial treatment failure, thus demonstrating the expanded role of ED pharmacists in antimicrobial stewardship in the outpatient setting.
Service Providers’ Perceptions of Substitute Addictions in the Western Cape, South Africa

Published: February 2023

Globally little is known regarding substance use service providers’ perceptions of substitute behaviours and this significant gap could hinder service provision and recovery outcomes. Semi-structured focus group discussions (including 22 service providers across five sites) were conducted in residential treatment facilities in the Western Cape, South Africa. Service providers recognised substances (e.g. cigarettes and caffeine) and behaviours (e.g. gambling, eating, love, sex, shopping, exercise, and gaming) as potential substitutes. Identified substitute motives included managing cravings; self-medication; filling the experiential void of the primary substance, and time-spending. Concurrent behaviours and addictions were believed to be a key mechanism underlying substitution however, service providers did not uniformly screen for co-occurring behavioural addictions. Substitute behaviours were primarily considered a pathway to relapse and service providers emphasised prevention, detection and family education. To suitably intervene, screening for co-occurring behaviours should be an integral part of the assessment of those presenting for substance use treatment.
Switching Clinics: Patient Autonomy over the Course of Their Careers in Consumer Medicine
Authors: Brown Eliza
Published: February 2023

Patient autonomy, or the right to make decisions about medical care, is usually examined either within clinical encounters with medical providers or outside of clinics via social movements to transform care. These perspectives, however, may miss how patients exercise autonomy outside of clinical encounters while remaining in conventional care. Through in-depth interviews with 61 people who pursued fertility treatment in New York City, this article argues that one important way that people exert autonomy in consumer medicine is by switching clinics. This study finds that nearly half of participants switched clinics to reorient their patient careers that were not progressing satisfactorily, attempting to reset, redirect, and escalate them. This article emphasizes that patients exercise autonomy not just over treatment decisions but also over the direction and progress of patient careers themselves. This article suggests that patients’ disparate opportunities to elect to switch medical practices represents an inequity in consumer medicine.
Learning to Teach Responsively Through Asynchronous Collaborative Discourse Around Video Records of Practice
Authors: Ebby Caroline B. , Remillard Janine T. , Goldsmith-Markey Lindsay T.
Published: February 2023

Teaching practices that are responsive to student thinking are complex and challenging to learn, particularly for novice teachers. Skilled responsive teaching involves adaptive expertise, or the ability to deliberate about and respond to students’ emergent ideas. This study explored the learning of early-career teachers through participation in a video-feedback inquiry group around the enactment of a number talk routine introduced in preservice teacher education. Conceptualizing teacher learning as socially situated within a discourse community, we consider how participation in the asynchronous inquiry group supported both collective interpretations and individual growth in implementing responsive instructional practices. Findings suggest that giving and receiving asynchronous feedback provided novice teachers with opportunities to engage in dialogic conversations that involved several types of deliberation related to responsive teaching and the development of adaptive expertise. This study provides evidence of the potential of asynchronous teacher inquiry groups and the importance of giving, as well as receiving, feedback on practice.
Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live Without Them: The Ambivalent Effects of Existential Outgroup Threat on Helping Behavior
Authors: Berendt Johannes , van Leeuwen Esther , Uhrich Sebastian
Published: February 2023

Social comparison theories suggest that ingroups are strengthened whenever important outgroups are weakened (e.g., by losing status or power). It follows that ingroups have little reason to help outgroups facing an existential threat. We challenge this notion by showing that ingroups can also be weakened when relevant comparison outgroups are weakened, which can motivate ingroups to strategically offer help to ensure the outgroups’ survival as a highly relevant comparison target. In three preregistered studies, we showed that an existential threat to an outgroup with high (vs. low) identity relevance affected strategic outgroup helping via two opposing mechanisms. The potential demise of a highly relevant outgroup increased participants’ perceptions of ingroup identity threat, which was positively related to helping. At the same time, the outgroup’s misery evoked schadenfreude, which was negatively related to helping. Our research exemplifies a group’s secret desire for strong outgroups by underlining their importance for identity formation.
The Presenter's Paradox: More Is Not Always Better
Authors: Connelly Brian L. , Ketchen David J. , Zhou Yi Shi
Published: February 2023

The presenter's paradox is a phenomenon wherein adding low-value information alongside high-value information reduces the overall effectiveness of communication. This is because receivers tend to evaluate messages using an averaging, rather than additive, approach. In the context of journal submissions, the presenter's paradox arises when authors undermine their papers’ value by adding extra components that fail to maintain the high standard established in the core of the paper. These additions might take the form of excessive control variables, supplementary analyses, hypotheses, words, tables, figures, or citations. We argue that authors should construct journal submissions with the presenter's paradox in mind––because in many cases, less is more.
Narcissistic Admiration and Narcissistic Rivalry: Associations With Accuracy and Bias in Perceptions of Romantic Partners
Authors: Seidman Gwendolyn , Zeigler-Hill Virgil , Iida Masumi
Published: February 2023

Two studies examined perceptions of romantic partners, using the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept model to conceptualize narcissism. We examined three types of partner perceptions: partner-enhancement (perceiving one’s partner more positively than oneself), mean-level bias (perceiving one’s partner more positively than the partner’s self-perception), and tracking accuracy (accurately perceiving the relative position of one’s partner within a sample). In Study 1, 252 individuals rated themselves and their partners in two agentic domains (attractiveness/vitality, status/resources) and one communal domain (warmth/trustworthiness). Narcissistic admiration was associated with less partner-enhancement, especially for agentic qualities. Study 2 surveyed 75 romantic couples about their self-perceptions and partner perceptions. Analyses with the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model revealed that narcissistic admiration was associated with less partner-enhancement. Study 2 also used the Truth and Bias model to examine mean-level bias and tracking accuracy. Narcissistic rivalry was associated with less mean-level bias and greater tracking accuracy in the domain of attractiveness/vitality.
Effect of a telephone and web-based problem-solving intervention for stroke caregivers on stroke patient activities of daily living: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Quinn Edward B , LeLaurin Jennifer H , Eliazar-Macke Nathaniel D , Orozco Tatiana , Montague Magda , Freytes I Magaly , Uphold Constance R
Published: February 2023

Objective

To test for effects of a problem-solving intervention for stroke caregivers on stroke survivor activities of daily living.

Design

Two-arm parallel randomized clinical trial with repeated measures at 11 weeks and 19 weeks.

Setting

Medical centers for US military Veterans.

Subjects

Caregivers of stroke survivors.

Intervention

A registered nurse guided caregivers in using problem-solving strategies emphasizing creative thinking, optimism, planning, and expert information to address challenges associated with caregiving. Caregivers in the intervention completed one telephone orientation session followed by eight online, asynchronous messaging center sessions. The messaging center sessions involved (a) education on the Resources and Education for Stroke Caregivers’ Understanding and Empowerment website ( https://www.stroke.cindrr.research.va.gov/en/ ), (b) supportive communication between the nurse and caregiver, (c) nurse and caregiver interactions to improve problem-solving, and (d) maintain adherence to discharge planning instructions.

Main Outcome

The Barthel Index was used to measure activities of daily living.

Results

174 participants (standard care n = 88, intervention n = 86) were enrolled at baseline. There were no significant differences between groups at baseline. Change scores in activities of daily living between baseline and 11 weeks were significantly higher in the intervention group than the standard care group (group difference = 6.43, 95% confidence interval: 1.28, 11.58). Group differences in change scores between baseline and 19 weeks were not statistically significant (group difference = 3.89, 95% confidence interval: −3.58, 11.36).

Conclusions

This web-based caregiver intervention improved stroke survivor activities of daily living by 11 weeks, but intervention effects were undetectable after 19 weeks.
Social Media Addiction and Aggressive Behaviors in Early Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Nighttime Social Media Use and Sleep Quality
Authors: Lin Shanyan , Longobardi Claudio , Gastaldi Francesca Giovanna Maria , Fabris Matteo Angelo
Published: February 2023

Social media addiction (SMA) is considered a risk factor for aggressive behaviors in adolescents, while its underlying mechanisms remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the possible mediating roles of nighttime social media use and sleep quality in the relationship between SMA and aggressive behaviors. A sample of 773 Italian secondary school students (49.9% female, age range = 11–15 years) completed a self-report questionnaire that included information on SMA, nighttime social media use, sleep quality, and aggressive behaviors. Results indicated that SMA was positively associated with aggressive behaviors. In addition, SMA was positively related to nighttime social media use and negatively related to sleep quality. Nighttime social media use was associated with a poorer sleep quality, which in turn associated with more aggressive behaviors. Analyses indicated that both nighttime social media use and sleep quality were mediators in the relationship between SMA and aggressive behaviors in adolescents.
Effect of Binder Chemistry and Related Properties on the Low-Temperature Performance Parameters of Asphalt Binders
Authors: Kumbargeri Yogesh , Planche Jean-Pascal , Adams Jeramie J. , Elwardany Michael D. , King Gayle
Published: February 2023

The current Superpave™ performance grading specifications were developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program during the 1990s. Since the implementation of these specifications, the petroleum industry, and in turn asphalt binder formulation and production processes, have changed to a great extent owing to various factors, including improving yields and margins. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate and characterize evolving asphalt binder technologies through chemical-, rheological-, and performance-based approaches and to understand the relationships between these various aspects. This paper provides a robust method to characterize the effects of the binder crude source, compositional chemistry, crude oil processing, and modification type, as well as the thermal properties, on the low-temperature performance parameters (e.g., glass transition, crystallization properties, Δ Tc, asphalt binder cracking device [ABCD] Tcr, etc.). As a part of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program 9-60 effort, this work was aimed at providing a robust binder guideline tool for asphalt and additive suppliers, and the asphalt community in general. The experimental matrix includes 50 binders carefully selected based on input from road authorities, researchers, past experience from the field, crude source variability, type of chemical processing involved, modifier type, and so forth. Characterization efforts included tests such those using a bending beam rheometer, an ABCD, the SAR-AD tool composition, and differential scanning calorimetry for asphalt binders at various aging conditions. The outcome of this research sheds new light on binder formulation and manufacturing, especially that related to low-temperature pavement performance.

Authors: Rogowski Isabelle , Nové-Josserand Laurent , Godenèche Arnaud , Colotte Philippe , Franger Gabriel , Vigne Grégory , Vieira Thais Dutra , Blache Yoann , Neyton Lionel
Published: February 2023

Background:

Return to sport after stabilization surgery using the open Latarjet procedure remains challenging. Additional knowledge is needed about postoperative shoulder functional deficits in order to better design return-to-sport programs.

Purpose:

To investigate the effects of the dominance status of the operated shoulder on the shoulder functional profile recovery at 4.5 months after open Latarjet procedure.

Study Design:

Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed. All patients who underwent the open Latarjet procedure between December 2017 and February 2021 were eligible for the study. Functional assessment at 4.5 months after the surgery was performed using the following tests: maximal voluntary isometric contractions in glenohumeral internal and external rotation, upper-quarter Y balance test, unilateral seated shot-put test, and modified closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test, leading to 10 outcome measures. Patients whose dominant side had undergone surgery and those whose nondominant side had undergone surgery were compared with a group of 68 healthy control participants.

Results:

A total of 72 patients who underwent an open Latarjet procedure on the dominant side and 61 patients who underwent open Latarjet on the nondominant side were compared with 68 healthy control athletes. In patients whose dominant shoulder had undergone surgery, significant deficits for the dominant side ( P < .001) and for the nondominant side ( P < .001) were found in 9 of 10 functional outcome measures. Among patients whose operations were on the nondominant shoulder, significant deficits for the nondominant side ( P < .001) and for the dominant side ( P < .001) were found in 9 and 5 of the 10 functional outcome measures, respectively.

Conclusion:

Regardless of dominance of the stabilized shoulder, persistent deficits in strength, stability, mobility, power, and stroke frequency were observed at 4.5 months postoperatively. Stabilization of the dominant shoulder resulted in residual surgery-related functional impairments on both sides. However, stabilization of the nondominant shoulder resulted in impairments primarily noted in the nondominant, operative shoulder.

A narrative review of group analytic literature on clinical supervision: Seeking coherence and correspondence
Authors: McMahon Aisling
Published: February 2023

A systematic narrative literature review was carried out with the aim of identifying key themes in the group analytic literature on clinical supervision, and to inform the development of theory, practice and research in this area. The systematic literature search identified 103 relevant publications, nearly all involving case vignettes of supervisory practice and theoretical reflections on group analytic supervision, with only a handful of published research studies in this field to date. Four core themes were identified in this literature, indicating what group analysts have considered to be the key functions of clinical supervision—one primary theme: Providing critical holding and containment, and three other themes radiating out from this primary concern: Supporting capacity to bear and process emotionally, sustaining ability to think deeply and widely, and counteracting isolation and enabling creative exchange. The nature of each of these themes is elaborated, and this material is critically considered in terms of the group analytic contribution to the clinical supervision field (considering theoretical coherence) and its relationship with the wider literature on supervision (considering correspondence with other disciplines). In conclusion, some implications and recommendations are outlined.
“The World Has to Stop Discriminating Against African American Language” (AAL): Exploring the Language Ideologies of AAL-Speaking Students in College Writing
Authors: Hankerson Shenika
Published: February 2023

Drawing on recent decades, literature in college writing that theorizes the importance of Critical Language Awareness (CLA) curricula for African American Language (AAL)-speaking students, this article offers empirical evidence on the design and implementation of a college writing curriculum centered on CLA and its influence on AAL–speaking students’ language ideologies with respect to both speech and writing. Qualitative analyses of students’ pre- and-post-Questionnaires and the researcher’s field notes demonstrate that the curriculum helped students view AAL as an independent, natural, and legitimate language and view themselves as critically conscious thinkers and writers—more likely and willing to develop their academic writing skills and the strategies that support employing their native language in writing—for example, code-meshing strategies. This study offers important implications for college writing instruction.
Associations Between Multidimensional Sleep Health Parameters and Adolescents’ Self-reported Light Exposure in the Free-living Environment
Authors: Gauthier-Gagné Gabrielle , Saha Sujata , Jensen Jana , Sommerville Gail , Gruber Reut
Published: February 2023

The objective of this study was to characterize the associations between light exposure in the free-living environment and multiple dimensions of sleep health of typically developing adolescents. Fifty-six (29 girls, 27 boys) typically developing adolescents (mean age = 13.59, SD = 0.89, range = 12-17 years) participated. For six consecutive nights, sleep was assessed in the home environment using actigraphy. During the same period, participants were asked to fill out a daily sleep log and a daily light exposure log, and to complete questionnaires regarding their alertness and subjective sleep satisfaction. Longer self-reported exposure to daylight in the morning was associated with longer objectively measured sleep duration. Longer self-reported exposures to electronic devices in the evening were associated with later objectively measured sleep onset and offset times, shorter sleep duration, and greater day-to-day sleep variability. Longer morning exposure to outdoor light was associated with a longer sleep duration. Self-reported light exposure was not associated with sleep satisfaction, alertness/sleepiness, or sleep efficiency. Among the covariates, circadian preference accounted for the highest percentage of variance. Adolescents’ sleep health is associated with the self-reported duration of exposure to daylight in the morning and to electronic devices in the evening.
Chinese Diaspora Communities’ Knowledge of and Engagement with Advance Care Planning: A Systematic Integrative Review
Authors: Li Zhuangshuang , Beck Esther Ruth , McIlfatrick Sonja , Hasson Felicity
Published: February 2023

Objectives: To synthesize evidence regarding Chinese diasporas’ understanding, experience, and factors influencing engagement with advance care planning. Methods: A systematic integrative review using content analysis. Seven electronic databases (Embase, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Medline (OVID), PsycINFo, and The Cochrane Library) and gray resources were searched for studies from January 1990 to March 2022. Study quality appraisal was undertaken. Results: 27 articles were identified and rated as moderate to good. Two overarching and interrelated themes were identified, “Awareness and knowledge” and “Engagement with advance care planning.” There are low levels of awareness, knowledge and engagement with advance care planning for Chinese diaspora. Findings highlight that this is influenced by two key factors. First, the geographic context and legal, cultural, and social systems within which the Chinese diasporas are living act as a potential catalyst to enhance awareness and engagement with advance care planning. Second, aspects of Chinese diasporas’ original culture, such as filial piety and a taboo surrounding death, were reported to negatively affect the promotion and engagement of advance care planning. Significance of Results: Chinese diasporas are intermediaries between two divergent cultures that intertwine to strongly influence engagement with advance care planning. Hence, a bespoke culturally tailored approach should be accommodated in future research and practice for Chinese communities in multicultural countries to further advance palliative and end-of-life care awareness among this group.
Considerations for Practice in Supporting Parental Bereavement in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit—a Systematic Review
Authors: Lakhani Jenna , Mack Cheryl , Kunyk Diane , Kung Janice , van Manen Michael
Published: February 2023

Background

Parental bereavement after the death of an infant in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a complex and nuanced experience. Support from healthcare practitioners can have a significant impact on bereavement experiences in the short- and long-term. Although several studies exist exploring parental perceptions of their experience of loss and bereavement, there has not been a recent review of beneficial practices and common themes in the current literature.

Objective

This review synthesizes empirical research to identify considerations that ought to guide the caregiving practices of healthcare professionals to support parental bereavement.

Settings/subjects

Data was collected from studies identified in MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL. The search was limited to English-language studies describing parental bereavement in the NICU population from January 1990 to November 2021.

Results

Of 583 studies initially identified, 47 studies of varying geographic locations were included in this review. Various themes surrounding healthcare support in parental bereavement were identified including ensuring the opportunity for parents to spend time caring for their child, understanding their perception of infant suffering, recognizing the impact of communication experiences with healthcare providers, and offering access to alternative means of support, all of which have been described as suboptimal. Parents generally want the opportunity to say goodbye to their infant in a private and safe space, be supported through their decision-making and be offered bereavement follow-up after loss.

Conclusion

This review identifies methods of support in parental bereavement based on first-hand parental experiences and routine implementation of these strategies may be beneficial in supporting parents through their bereavement after the loss of a baby in the NICU.
The Final Frontier: Palliative Care in Space is an Inevitability
Authors: Tan Sheryn , Tran Vienna , Stretton Brandon , Gupta Aashray , Kovoor Joshua , Bacchi Stephen
Published: February 2023

As space exploration becomes increasingly common, palliative care for astronauts will require greater consideration. All aspects of palliative care need to be specifically adapted for astronauts. For example, addressing additional circumstances such as inability to see loved ones from Earth will be an important part of meeting their psychological and spiritual needs. A different approach to pharmacological management of end-of-life symptoms is also warranted due to changes in human physiology and pharmacokinetics in space.
Multidimensional Gender Ideologies Across Europe: Evidence From 36 Countries
Authors: Begall Katia , Grunow Daniela , Buchler Sandra
Published: February 2023

In this paper, we use the “gender as a social structure” framework to assess macro-, interactional-, and micro-level mechanisms explaining the stalled revolution in gender ideologies. Using the European Values Study 2008 data and latent class analysis, we look at the spread of gender ideologies and examine their association with national levels of gendered ascription of work and care roles, work–family compatibility, social inequality and societal affluence, individual characteristics, and cross-level interactions with gender and education in 36 (post-)industrialized countries. By including a large number of Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern European countries, we provide a new and comprehensive picture of the gender ideology landscapes of Europe, reflected in two unidimensional classes—egalitarian and traditional—and four multidimensional classes, covering more than 60 percent of respondents—family oriented, choice egalitarian, intensive motherhood, and neotraditional. By modeling key features of macro-level variation, we show how the spread of gender ideologies is associated with distinct contextual conditions. We consolidate previous findings on multidimensional gender ideologies, which were based on fewer countries.
Narrative Memory Work of Employees in Family Businesses: How Founding Stories Shape Organizational Identification
Authors: Hoon Christina , Brinkmann Julia , Baluch Alina M.
Published: February 2023

This study is concerned with how founding stories are sustained across multiple generations of employees in family firms and how these stories influence organizational identification. Drawing on a social memory perspective and narrative memory work, we explore the retold founding stories of employees in a large agricultural family firm. Our study demonstrates that founding stories transform firsthand memories into collective memory across multiple generations through intertwining intradiegetic storytelling with material and relational processes. The effortful work of remembering together across familial and social relations, spaces, and embodied ways explains how successive generations understand their belongingness to the organization.
Simplified calculation of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis rate: Accuracy of a recently developed estimating equation
Authors: Marshall Mark R , Waters Gerald P , Verger Christian
Published: February 2023

Recently, we validated a simple method for estimating peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis rate. Despite good agreement between estimates and gold-standard measurements in two large dialysis registries, the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) was hesitant to recommend adoption of the estimating equation. Their perception is that inaccuracies, as small as they are, might still be detrimental to clinical decision-making. In this study, we apply new analyses to the original validation data sets. We quantify agreement using standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). We also identify a subset of centres with poorest performance of the estimating equation and qualitatively assess the potential for compromised clinical decision-making associated with its use. Inter-assay % coefficient of variation between estimates and measurements was 4.2% in the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry and 4.6% in Le Registre de Dialyse Péritonéale de Langue Française, easily meeting ISO requirements. Mandel’s h values and Grubb’s tests confirmed more outlying estimates compared to the measurements, while Mandel’s k values and Cochran’s C tests showed that identical precision by the two methods. Misclassification of centres as being above versus below the ISPD standard of 0.4 episodes/patient-year occurred only with rates close to the threshold, affecting approximately 3% of patient-years. In the 26 (out of 268) centres with poorest performance of the estimating equation, examination of the time series of their annual PD peritonitis rate estimates/measurements showed that using estimates would not detrimental to clinical decision-making. In conclusion, the estimating equation is sufficiently accurate for routine clinical use.
The effect of wake vortex on the unsteady characteristics of tip leakage flow in a high-loading counter-rotating compressor
Authors: Xu Qiangren , Zhao Wei , Zhao Qingjun , Luo Weiwei , Sui Xiuming , Liu Binbin
Published: February 2023

The effect of upstream wake vortex on the unsteady characteristics of downstream tip leakage flow (TLF) in a high-loading counter-rotating compressor, have been revealed. For the strength of the tip leakage vortex (TLV) is stronger than that of the upstream wake vortex and the TLF spills from the leading edge (LE) of the neighbor blade under near stall (NS) condition, the wake vortex can only transport bypass the interface, formed by the TLF and main flow, just below the tip. The TLV is separated into several parts by the wake vortex such that it weakened rapidly and the dominant frequency of the static pressure fluctuation near the trailing edge (TE) is about 1 relative blade passing frequency (RBPF) under the NS condition. When the extent of TLV breakdown is enough, the TLV is responsible for the dominant frequency near the LE. Therefore, there are two dominant frequencies (one is located near LE, the other is located near TE) in the tip region of the downstream supersonic rotor under NS condition. It’s harmful for the stable operation of compressors due to lower frequency resulting from TLV. At small tip clearance size, affected by the upstream wake vortex, when the static pressure fluctuation caused by the TLV at the LE of the downstream rotor just appeared, the momentum ratio increases. And it locates above the limit line (applied to judge the static pressure fluctuation caused by the self-excitation of the TLF), this means the wake vortex is beneficial to suppress the self-excitation of the TLF.
Techno-economic analysis of thermal energy storage systems
Authors: Patil Anil Kumar , Kumar Manoj
Published: February 2023

The rising energy demand can be met by increasing the share of renewable energy by overcoming the barriers of poor conversion efficiency, intermittent energy supply, and lower thermo-economic viability. Thermal energy storage technology can play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges. Thermal energy storage systems are still in the developing phase due to low energy density, higher investments, and poor storage efficiency. The present study is carried out to disseminate updated information pertaining to the technological innovations and performance analysis of different types of thermal energy storage systems. The primary focus of this study is to present a critical analysis and discussion on the current status of thermal energy storage technology that can help identify the thrust areas of future research for improved techno-economic designs. The analysis unfolds the need to reduce the size of sensible energy storage systems by enhancing the volumetric heat transfer rates and improving the thermal response of latent energy storage systems by enhancing the thermal conductance of phase change materials. The thermal response of the latent energy storage systems can be improved by the addition of extended surfaces, composites of PCM and metal foam, PCM, and metal powder. Hybrid systems are relatively new therefore more explorations are needed for ensuring the compactness and the economic feasibility of these systems.
Posthumanist stylistics
Authors: O’Halloran Kieran
Published: February 2023

I present a posthumanist approach to literary interpretation using stylistic analysis. It is posthumanist since i) digital cameras/audio-video resources and editing applications prompt multimodal readings of literary works unlikely from human intuition alone; ii) anthropocentrism in literary texts is defamiliarised. I highlight how stylistic analysis can be used productively for developing multimodal creativity in posthumanist reading by motivating audio-video edits and effects. I model using Anne Brontë’s poem ‘Home’ (1846). When read only with intuition, ‘Home’ communicates young Brontë’s yearning for her family home. In contrast, this article has a non-intuitive digital multimodal realisation of this poem where a young Californian stuck in London because of pandemic (Covid-19) travel restrictions yearns for her home state in the aftermath of wildfires linked to anthropogenic climate change. This posthumanist transformative reading, flagging the negative repercussions of humans for their planetary home, defamiliarises the poem’s anthropocentric normality. Importantly, I show how stylistic analysis of ‘Home’ motivates creative use of audio-visual edits and effects in the posthumanist multimodal reading. The article makes contrast with standard interpretive practice in stylistics (‘humanist stylistics’). It also reflects on the value of posthumanist stylistics for extending students’ creative thinking in an educational context.
Entrepreneurial Entropy: A Resource Exhaustion Theory of Firm Failure From Entrepreneurial Orientation
Authors: Gali Nazha , Hughes Mathew (Mat) , Morgan Robert E. , Wang Catherine L.
Published: February 2023

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can generate substantial gains and losses, exhausting firm resources and straining a firm’s ability to sustain its activities. We develop and test a resource exhaustion theory of firm failure, conceptualizing conditions under which EO increases the risk of firm failure by generating unsustainable amounts of entrepreneurial entropy. Using panel data on 804 large U.S. high-technology firms over 18 years, we find that EO increases the risk of firm failure, which is mediated by the lack of organizational resource slack. An abrupt change in EO increases the risk of firm failure, especially among underperforming firms.

Authors: Cleland Joanne , Dokovova Marie , Crampin Lisa , Campbell Linsay
Published: February 2023

Objective

This study aimed to determine whether increased raising of the back of the tongue is evident in children with repaired cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP+/-CL). We hypothesized that children with CP+/-CL would show increased raising of the tongue dorsum, a compensatory pattern.

Method

Secondary data analysis of mid-sagittal ultrasound tongue imaging data from 31 children with CP+/-CL and 29 typically developing children were used. We annotated the consonants /ʃ, t, s, k/ at the point of maximum constriction in an /aCa/ environment. Children with CP+/-CL said the tokens 10 times, typically developing children said them once. We automatically fitted splines to the tongue contour and extracted the Dorsum Excursion Index (DEI) for each consonant. This metric measures the relative use of the tongue dorsum, with more posterior consonants having higher values. We compared DEI values across groups and consonants using a linear mixed effects model. DEI was predicted by the interaction of consonant (baseline: /ʃ/) and speaker type (baseline: TD), including by-speaker random slopes for consonant and random intercepts for speaker.

Results

Overall DEI was not higher in children with CP+/-CL compared to typically developing children. Between groups the only significant difference was the position of /k/ relative to /ʃ/, where the difference between these two consonants was smaller in the children with CP+/-CL.

Conclusions

There was no support for the hypothesis that increased raising of the tongue dorsum is a common characteristic in children with repaired CP+/-CL. However, individual children may present with this pattern.

Background:

It is unclear whether use of a proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increases the risk of rhabdomyolysis.

Objective:

To clarify whether use of PPIs increases the risk of rhabdomyolysis.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study analyzed data entered into the Medical Data Vision (MDV) database in Japan and into the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The MDV data were analyzed to evaluate the association between use of PPIs and rhabdomyolysis. Then, the FAERS data were analyzed to evaluate whether the risk of rhabdomyolysis was increased further when a statin or fibrate was used concomitantly with a PPI. In both analyses, histamine-2 receptor antagonist was set as a comparator because it is used to treat gastric disease. In the MDV analysis, Fisher’s exact test and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed. In the FAERS analysis, a disproportionality analysis using Fisher’s exact test and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed.

Results:

Multiple logistic regression analysis of both databases showed a significant association between use of PPIs and an increased risk of rhabdomyolysis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.74-1.95, P ≤ 0.01). However, use of a histamine-2 receptor antagonist was not significantly associated with increased risk of rhabdomyolysis. In the sub-analysis of the FAERS data, use of a PPI did not increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis in patients receiving a statin.

Conclusion and Relevance:

The data in 2 separate databases consistently suggest that PPIs may increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis. The evidence for this association should be assessed in further drug safety studies.
EBV-negative Fibrin-Associated Large B-Cell Lymphoma Arising in Thyroid Hyperplastic Nodule: Report of a Case and Literature Review
Authors: Ho Tin Wai , Cheuk Wah , Chan John K.C.
Published: February 2023

Fibrin-associated large B-cell lymphoma is a rare microscopic-sized tumor, typically representing an unexpected finding at sites rich in chronic fibrin deposition. It is associated with Epstein-Barr virus, and has been reported to occur in a wide variety of anatomic sites and clinical scenarios. We report a case arising in a thyroid hyperplastic nodule, only the second case reported in this location. Notably, this is only the fourth case of fibrin-associated large B-cell lymphoma that is not associated with Epstein-Barr virus. We provide a literature review on the clinico-pathological characteristics and outcome of this newly characterized indolent lymphoma type, which has only recently been separated out from the pathologically similar but highly aggressive large B-cell lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation.
The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Complete Cytoreduction Prediction in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: A Narrative Review
Authors: Parpinel Giulia , Laudani Maria Elena , Piovano Elisa , Zola Paolo , Lecuru Fabrice
Published: February 2023

Introduction

In patients affected by epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) complete cytoreduction (CC) has been associated with higher survival outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have proved clinical benefice in different areas of healthcare.

Objective

To systematically assemble and analyze the available literature on the use of AI in patients affected by EOC to evaluate its applicability to predict CC compared to traditional statistics.

Material and Methods

Data search was carried out through PubMed, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, international congresses and clinical trials. The main search terms were: Artificial Intelligence AND surgery/cytoreduction AND ovarian cancer. Two authors independently performed the search by October 2022 and evaluated the eligibility criteria. Studies were included when data about Artificial Intelligence and methodological data were detailed.

Results

A total of 1899 cases were analyzed. Survival data were reported in 2 articles: 92% of 5-years overall survival (OS) and 73% of 2-years OS. The median area under the curve (AUC) resulted 0,62. The model accuracy for surgical resection reported in two articles reported was 77,7% and 65,8% respectively while the median AUC was 0,81. On average 8 variables were inserted in the algorithms. The most used parameters were age and Ca125.

Discussion

AI revealed greater accuracy compared against the logistic regression models data. Survival predictive accuracy and AUC were lower for advanced ovarian cancers. One study analyzed the importance of factors predicting CC in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer and disease free interval, retroperitoneal recurrence, residual disease at primary surgery and stage represented the main influencing factors. Surgical Complexity Scores resulted to be more useful in the algorithms than pre-operating imaging.

Conclusion

AI showed better prognostic accuracy if compared to conventional algorithms. However further studies are needed to compare the impact of different AI methods and variables and to provide survival informations.
