A lesson in motion stays in motion: If students lead, will teachers follow?
Authors: Miller Samuel , Stallings Sarah , Massey Dixie , Metzger Salem R.
Published: November 2022

While endorsed as critical for promoting learning, students’ interest in a topic has had minimal, if any, influence on curriculum development. Teachers thus are challenged to promote students’ interest within an established curriculum. After students demonstrated misunderstandings after reading an article about bacteria, Sarah Stallings and Samuel Miller, a 4th-grade teacher and university researcher, decided to base their instruction on students’ queries and concerns. This one lesson provided the impetus for a series of activities across the school year that allowed students to become more actively involved in choosing what they would learn and how they would learn it. What students viewed as important and interesting determined the nature and format of their daily studies.
Under the Law: School safety: A legal labyrinth
Authors: Kim Robert
Published: November 2022

An array of federal, state, and local laws and policies come into play when situations arise that could compromise student safety. These laws and district policies combine to form an intricate and sometimes inconsistent patchwork of protocols that schools must follow. Robert Kim discusses the interplay between federal, state, and local laws governing schools’ responses to student misbehavior; the differing regulations surrounding different kinds of behavior; and the legal gray areas and judgment calls school personnel face when making disciplinary decisions.

Improving child sexual exploitation material investigations: Recommendations based on a review of recent research findings
Authors: Steel Chad MS , Newman Emily , O’Rourke Suzanne , Quayle Ethel
Published: November 2022

Child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) investigations have emerged as an area of specialization that combines multiple skillsets. Recent research has reshaped how we view CSEM offenders – they have different offense-supportive cognitions from contact sex offenders, their use of technology is no longer based on anecdotal evidence, and approaches to investigative planning, interviewing and forensics have evolved. This paper summarizes select, relevant areas of recent research related to CSEM investigations, and makes evidence-based recommendations for evolving how we approach these efforts. Current trends from other domains, including contact tracing and mental health considerations in a remote-working environment are additionally addressed.
Income-Based Gaps in College-Going Activities: High School Classes of 1992 and 2004
Authors: Mbekeani Preeya Pandya
Published: November 2022

There has been widespread concern about widening disparities in parental investments that may be associated with widening gaps in educational attainment. Using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 and the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002, this study examines parents’ investments and engagement in the college-going process for two cohorts of high school students, focusing on adolescents from low- and high-income families. Between the high school classes of 1992 and 2004, income gaps widened in financial preparation for postsecondary education expenses and student college-admissions test-preparation. In contrast, the income gap in parents-child conversations about the college-going process narrowed, due to a larger increase among low-income parents. I examined potential explanations for growing gaps and found evidence supporting both rising income inequality and changing associations between income and college-going activities. Implications for educational attainment gaps are discussed.
Social anxiety and internet addiction among adolescent students in a sub-Saharan African country: does family functioning make a difference?
Authors: Nwufo Juliet Ifeoma , Ike Obinna Osita , Nwoke Mary Basil , Eze John , Chukwuorji JohnBosco Chika , Chineye Kanu Gabriel
Published: November 2022

Evidence has shown that social anxiety significantly influences internet addiction among adolescent students. However, the boundary conditions that strengthen or weaken this association with internet addiction have not been fully understood, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design to investigate the direct effect of social anxiety on internet addiction among adolescent students and the moderating role of family functioning in such relationships. A sample of ( N = 1800) students (age range 11–17 years; M = 15.30 years; SD = 1.99) from 10 secondary schools in Southeast Nigeria participated in this study. The participants completed the self-report measures of the Social Phobia Inventory, Family APGAR (adaptability, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve) Index, and Internet Addiction Test. Pearson correlation was used to determine the bivariate relationship among the study variables, while Hayes regression-based PROCESS macro was used for moderation analysis. Findings revealed that social anxiety was positively associated with internet addiction. Family functioning was negatively associated with internet addiction. Family functioning did not moderate the relationship between social anxiety and internet addiction. We concluded that reducing social anxiety and bolstering family functioning may be an effective strategy to lessen the vulnerability of adolescents to internet addiction.
The Origin of Slum as a Trans-Class Concept
Authors: Finch Jason
Published: November 2022

The slum concept originated as a descriptor for trans-class, or urban majority, environments in and around which people of different social levels lived in close proximity to each other. This article reappraises the concept’s emergence in physically aging neighborhoods of London between the City of London and Westminster from the 1820s to the 1850s, within which a stage of rediscovery and reapplication of the word after the late 1830s has so far been overlooked. It focuses on a discursive shift in which a word borrowed from low-life slang became part of the accepted vocabulary for urban areas judged undesirable. Early identifications of sites labeled as slums in the St Giles district of London were by writers and visual artists who themselves lived and worked nearby. Several alternative words including rookery, court, and Alsatia were used in the effort to label a place zone previously unrecognized. The article traces these lexical changes with their consequences for how urban semantics became fixed through case studies from journalistic and political rhetoric, and from the imaginative fiction of Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray which in the 1840s and 1850s viewed the area of the word’s coinage with a degree of nostalgia.
Adaptive neural fault-tolerant control for output-constrained attitude tracking of unmanned space vehicles
Authors: Yao Qijia , Jahanshahi Hadi , Golestani Mehdi
Published: November 2022

The challenging problem of attitude tracking control for unmanned space vehicles (USVs) subject to actuator faults and output constraints is addressed in this study. A novel adaptive neural fault-tolerant controller is proposed by integrating the neural networks (NNs) and barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) with the backstepping technique. Two NNs are adopted to approximate the uncertain nonlinear terms caused by unknown attitude dynamics and actuator faults, respectively. Moreover, the BLF is introduced to tackle the output constraints. It is strictly proved that all the closed-loop error signals are uniformly ultimately bounded under the proposed controller. Totally, the proposed adaptive neural fault-tolerant controller has the following two distinctive features. (1) The proposed controller is model-free and can still be applicable even when the USV attitude dynamic model is completely unknown in advance. (2) The proposed controller can guarantee the attitude tracking error always within the predefined output constraints even in the presence of actuator faults and thus ensuring safety. Finally, the excellent tracking performance of the proposed controller is verified through numerical simulations and comparisons.
Anti-vaccination as political dissent – a post-political reading of Yellow Vests’ accounts of Covid-19, vaccines and the Health pass
Authors: Bergem Ingeborg M.
Published: November 2022

This article theorizes the connection between political distrust and conspiracy theories through a post-political framework. Following Luc Boltanski’s focus on the critical capacities of ordinary actors, it builds on interviews with participants of the Yellow Vest Movement in France who hold conspiratorial views of Covid-19 and the vaccine. The article explores how the interviewees’ critique mirrors that of post-political theorists. In particular, I use Rancière’s notion of subjectification and politics to theorize how conspiracy theories function as a means of dissent in the interviewees’ understanding of their experiences as well as in their own critique of and disillusionment with politics in France. As such, this article explores how political trust affected reactions to the pandemic, how political trust is interconnected with conspiracy theories and finally how such conspiracy theories can be viewed as biproducts of the post-political order.
“I Don’t Want to Die in Here”: Absence and Vulnerability in COVID-19 News Coverage of Prisons
Authors: Schneeweis Adina , Foss Katherine A.
Published: November 2022

This research examines how news constructed vulnerability in the coverage of COVID-19 and populations in prisons and jails. Focused on key moments during the moral panic around the pandemic, the analysis of publications from across the U.S. found substantial reporting earlier in 2020, and a striking absence and ignorance of key developments later into 2021. Six news discourses - journalistic objectivity, blaming and abandonment, vulnerability, compassion, vilification, and absence - were complicated by the climate of demonstrations for racial justice.
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with another major congenital cardiac defect in biventricular hearts
Authors: Katewa Ashish , Sahu Balaswaroop , Prabhu Atul , Haranal Maruti
Published: November 2022

Background

The association of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with major congenital cardiac anomalies is rare. This coexistence has an impact on the diagnosis and management strategies. The objective of this single centre study was to analyse the outcomes of such association in bi-ventricular hearts.

Methods

This is a single-centre retrospective review of all patients who underwent repair for TAPVC associated with major congenital cardiac anomalies in bi-ventricular hearts from February 2015 to March 2020. Data were obtained from the hospital database. The primary aim was to assess the surgical outcomes. In addition, we described the incidence, pathophysiology, morphology and surgical strategies in this cohort of patients.

Results

Out of a total of 274 patients who underwent repair for TAPVC during the study period, 16 (5.8%) patients had one or more major associated cardiac defect anomalies. The major associated lesions were ventricular septal defects (9), tetralogy of Fallot (2), transposition of the great arteries (1), aorto-pulmonary window (1), partial atrioventricular canal defect (1), pulmonary stenosis (1) and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation due to flail chord (1). The mean follow-up period is 32 ± 13 months. There were two deaths in the post-operative period and no deaths in the follow-up period.

Conclusion

The incidence of major associated cardiovascular defects with TAPVC in bi-ventricular morphology is 5.8%. The presence of a major associated lesion with TAPVC significantly alters the pathophysiology and clinical presentation with an impact on diagnosis and treatment.
The relationship between top management team diversity and organizational resilience: Evidence from the automotive industry in Japan
Authors: Yamauchi Nao , Sato Hidenori
Published: November 2022

Organizational resilience has attracted much attention with regard to a company’s survival and to achieve higher performance in today’s uncertain conditions. However, how organizational resilience is built remains unclear. This study sheds light on the function of the top management team (TMT) from upper echelons theory and argues that its deep-level diversity has a positive impact on organizational resilience. Our empirical study of the Japanese automotive industry found that tenure, international, and wise diversity have a positive impact on building organizational resilience. In contrast, educational background diversity was found to have a negative impact on building organizational resilience, contrary to our hypothesis. Our results revealed that diversity was a double-edged sword and established the need to focus on environmental and industrial contexts in linking diversity and organizational resilience. Further elucidation of the relationship between diversity and organizational resilience can be achieved by simultaneously focusing on other aspects of diversity, in concurrence with existing diversity indices for variety.
Why can some entrepreneurs restart after businesses failure while others fail for good? – The case of Chinese business owners in Indonesia
Authors: Widiawan Kriswanto , Barbara Igel Professor
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the personality differences of entrepreneurs who returned to business after bankruptcy and those who left their entrepreneurial careers. Failure narratives of 15 entrepreneurs helped explore enabling conditions that supported post-failure to either seek new business opportunities or abandon entrepreneurship. Analysis of the responses to shame from failure, coping strategies and personality traits revealed similar patterns of personality profile, shame processing and problem coping strategies for the restarter entrepreneurs who overcame their shame. Contrarily, non-restarters who could not cope with shame and depression exhibited distinctly different patterns of personality traits and coping approaches.
Resource-induced coping heuristics transform psychological capital into opportunity recognition
Authors: Karami Masoud , Tang Jintong , Istipliler Baris , Adomako Samuel
Published: November 2022

The current study seeks to contribute to the understanding of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition by focusing on two issues. First, it explores the relationship between entrepreneurs’ psychological capital and opportunity recognition. Second, it investigates the mediating mechanism of entrepreneurs’ resource-induced coping heuristics in this relationship. Data collected from 208 entrepreneurs (82 were female respondents) in Ghana offered support for our hypotheses. The results show that resource-induced coping heuristics serves as the mechanism that transforms entrepreneurs’ psychological capital to new opportunity recognition. This study enhances the understanding of the psychological foundations of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition.
Keep the fire burning: Social entrepreneurs’ motives, role stress, perceived work competence and passion
Authors: Lee Young-joo , Hwang Hyunseok
Published: November 2022

This study examines factors affecting social entrepreneurs’ passion, focusing on their motives, job stress, and perceived work competence. The analysis of the survey data of 264 self-identified social entrepreneurs working in different types of organizations reveals that other-oriented motives are strongly associated with passion while self-oriented motives are not. The results also show that job stress is negatively correlated with social entrepreneurs’ passion. When the perceived work competence is included as a mediator, however, it alters the nature of the job stress-passion relationship, suggesting that job stress can positively affect social entrepreneurs’ passion when they perceive a high level of competence. The findings also suggest that perceived work competence reinforces the positive relationship between other-oriented motives and passion. This paper concludes with practical implications for social entrepreneurship education.
Nomophobia in today’s overlapping work and family domains: The influences on organizational identification
Authors: Erdurmazlı Eser , Erdem Haluk , Türen Ufuk , Gökmen Yunus , Can Yalçın Rukiye
Published: November 2022

Drawing on attentional control theory, this study addresses the influences of nomophobia (no-mobile-phone-phobia) on organizational identification and work-family conflict. It also examines the mediation role of work-family conflict in the relationship between nomophobia and organizational identification. Its hypotheses were tested using data from 398 teachers employed in public and private schools. The results revealed that by disrupting cognitive and perceptual processes, nomophobia contributes to conflicts between employees’ roles in their work and family domains, and eventually prevents them from identifying with organizational goals and values. The results also confirmed the mediation role of work-family conflict. By adopting a pure psychological approach (i.e., attentional control theory), as a new and different perspective for the organizational behavior and work-family conflict literatures, the findings are expected to contribute to increasing the awareness of organizations about negative attitudes and behaviors of nomophobic employees and highlight the needs of nomophobic employees for appropriate social and psychological supports.
Different types of innovations and dynamic capabilities in achieving timely responsiveness: Some implications for supply chain management
Authors: Ng Sin-Pei , Ahmed Pervaiz K
Published: November 2022

Timely responsiveness (TR) enables firms to outperform their competitors by responding rapidly to market changes and seizing opportunities promptly. However, how firms can achieve TR remains poorly understood. This study investigates the ways in which firms can improve TR and draws out the implications of these in managing supply chains. Specifically, this study examines the relationships between dynamic capabilities (DCs), namely, sensing and reconfiguring capabilities, different types of innovations, and TR. The findings show that the development of product, process, and management innovations improves TR. Sensing and reconfiguring capabilities are identified as core DCs that drive the development of different types of innovations.
Market performance and the loss aversion behind green management
Authors: Lee Minjung , Jung Young Hoon , Eun Jihyun
Published: November 2022

As societies become more concerned with environmental protection, some firms go beyond their legal obligations and proactively adopt their own green management practices even if those practices cannot produce short-term benefits. As a result, researchers have begun to question the underlying motives of these firms. Leveraging corporate loss aversion, we argue that firms that outperform their peers become more risk-seeking to avoid any future loss of competitive advantage. As a result, they become more likely to engage in stakeholder management in the form of green management practices. Specifically, we explore the Green Power Partnership (GPP) which solicits firms to purchase green power. Using the data for the green power consumed by firms that are participating in the GPP program in the United States, we find that firms with performance above social aspiration are likely to increase their use of green power. We also find that related diversification has a negative influence on such motivation.
Effects of non-technological innovation on technological innovation of small- and medium-sized enterprises: The role of the local business environment
Authors: Vu Nam Hoang , Hoang Tram Bao , Thi Le Bich Ngoc , Nguyen Thanh Van
Published: November 2022

Although non-technological innovation has been found to have influences on technological innovation of firms in the literature, some studies suggest it has no effect on technological innovation. It is unclear why these inconsistent findings have emerged. This study utilises longitudinal data from the biennial surveys of Vietnamese manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises and data from the Provincial Competitiveness Index surveys during the period from 2011 to 2015 and applies various estimation techniques. Findings demonstrate that the effects of non-technological innovation, which includes organisational and marketing innovation, on product and process innovation vary with the quality of the local business environment. Enterprises operating in a higher-quality local business environment have a higher probability of adopting product and process innovation than others. These findings suggest that policies to improve the business environment should be combined with other innovation policies to facilitate innovation of small- and medium-sized enterprises in transition economies.
Stressed at work and distressed out of work: Unveiling the implications of time-related work stress on work climate in the nonprofit sector
Authors: Palumbo Rocco , Petrolo Damiano , Manesh Mohammad F.
Published: November 2022

Time-related work stress is prevailing in today’s society. This is especially true in the nonprofit sector, where people are willing to self-sacrifice in order to contribute to organizational performance. Although literature highlights the shortcomings of time-related work stress, little is still known on its negative impact on work climate. The article contributes to fill this gap, shedding light on the consequences of time-related work stress on work climate in a large sample of people employed in the nonprofit sector. Secondary data were obtained from the latest wave of the European Working Condition Survey. Conditional process analysis was used to investigate the effects of time-related stress on work climate, considering the mediating role of work-life conflicts and work engagement. Stress caused by time constraints did not have direct implications on work climate. However, it expanded exposure to work-life conflicts and impaired work engagement, thus indirectly impoverishing work climate. Since it is hard to escape time pressures in modern work environments, precautions should be taken to protect employees against the backlash of time-related stress on work climate. Alongside empowering people to cope with work-related stress, tailored human resource management practices should be designed to address the sources of time pressures in the workplace.
COVID-19 and the Motorcycle Taxi Sector in Sub-Saharan African Cities: A Key Stakeholders’ Perspective
Authors: Peters Krijn , Jenkins Jack , Ntramah Simon , Vincent James , Hayombe Patrick , Owino Fredrick , Opiyo Paul , Johnson Ted , Santos Rosemarie , Mugisha Marion , Chetto Reginald
Published: November 2022

This article assesses the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the urban motorcycle taxi (MCT) sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). MCT operators in SSA provide essential transport services and have shown ingenuity and an ability to adapt and innovate when responding to different challenges, including health challenges. However, policymakers and regulators often remain somewhat hostile toward the sector. The article discusses the measures and restrictions put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and key stakeholders’ perspectives on these and on the sector’s level of compliance. Primary data were collected in six SSA countries during the last quarter of 2020. Between 10 and 15 qualitative interviews with key stakeholders relevant to the urban MCT sector were conducted in each country. These interviews were conducted with stakeholders based in the capital city and a secondary city, to ensure a geographically broader understanding of the measures, restrictions, and perspectives. The impact of COVID-19 measures on the MCT and motor-tricycle taxi sector was significant and overwhelmingly negative. Lockdowns, restrictions on the maximum number of passengers allowed to be carried at once, and more generally, a COVID-19-induced reduction in demand, resulted in a drop in income for operators, according to the key stakeholders. However, some key stakeholders indicated an increase in MCT activity and income because of the motorcycles’ ability to bypass police and army controls. In most study countries measures were formulated in a non-consultative manner. This, we argue, is symptomatic of governments’ unwillingness to seriously engage with the sector.
Influence of Environmental Vibration Caused by Three Lines Overlapping in Subway Tunnel Operations
Authors: Zhou Xin
Published: November 2022

Taking the six-hole overlapped tunnel area of Tianjin Metro Lines Z1, 5, and 6 as the research object, the universal finite element software ABAQUS is used to establish a three-dimensional dynamic finite element model of the overlapped tunnel area, and the vibration load of the subway train is applied. The environmental vibration response law of the overlapped tunnel area under different load combinations and different orders of tunnel construction conditions is analyzed, and some suggestions for the assessment and control of the environmental vibration of the overlapped tunnel area are put forward. The research results can provide a reference for subway line planning, design, construction, and operation management in the complex spatial tunnel area with multiple overlapped lines under similar conditions.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Destination Choice Models with Constrained Attractions
Authors: Gibb John
Published: November 2022

Attraction constraints are common and often appropriate for destination choice models, including, but not limited to, doubly constrained gravity distribution models. Estimation of their parameters by discrete-choice methods, however, seldom accounts for the constraints, despite bias known from their omission. For multinomial logit destination choice, this paper first formulates the parameter estimation for maximum likelihood of a set of observations, subject to exogenous attraction constraints on the model’s application to a population. Second, this formulation is extended for attraction constraints being linear combinations of size variables with coefficients to be estimated. Both the utility and size parameter estimations are distinct from the well-known formulation for unconstrained estimation, because of the contribution of the constraining shadow-price utilities to the likelihood gradients. Gradients and the Hessian are identified, along with adaptations of them for Newton-Raphson parameter updates and Cramér-Rao bounds. Experiments demonstrate its computational tractability and performance, and compare its estimations with those of unconstrained and other methods.
The Predicted Position of the Knee Near the Time of ACL Rupture Is Similar Between 2 Commonly Observed Patterns of Bone Bruising on MRI
Authors: Kim-Wang Sophia Y. , Spritzer Charles E. , Owusu-Akyaw Kwadwo , Coppock James A. , Goode Adam P. , Englander Zoë A. , Wittstein Jocelyn R. , DeFrate Louis E.
Published: November 2022

Background:

Bone bruises observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide insight into the mechanisms of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, it remains unclear whether the position of the knee near the time of injury differs between patients evaluated with different patterns of bone bruising, particularly with regard to valgus angles.

Hypothesis:

The position of the knee near the time of injury is similar between patients evaluated with 2 commonly occurring patterns of bone bruising.

Study Design:

Descriptive laboratory study.

Methods:

Clinical T2- and T1-weighted MRI scans obtained within 6 weeks of noncontact ACL rupture were reviewed. Patients had either 3 (n = 20) or 4 (n = 30) bone bruises. Patients in the 4–bone bruise group had bruising of the medial and lateral compartments of the femur and tibia, whereas patients in the 3–bone bruise group did not have a bruise on the medial femoral condyle. The outer contours of the bones and associated bruises were segmented from the MRI scans and used to create 3-dimensional surface models. For each patient, the position of the knee near the time of injury was predicted by moving the tibial model relative to the femoral model to maximize the overlap of the tibiofemoral bone bruises. Logistic regressions (adjusted for sex, age, and presence of medial collateral ligament injury) were used to assess relationships between predicted injury position (quantified in terms of knee flexion angle, valgus angle, internal rotation angle, and anterior tibial translation) and bone bruise group.

Results:

The predicted injury position for patients in both groups involved a flexion angle <20°, anterior translation >20 mm, valgus angle <10°, and internal rotation angle <10°. The injury position for the 3–bone bruise group involved less flexion (odds ratio [OR], 0.914; 95% CI, 0.846-0.987; P = .02) and internal rotation (OR, 0.832; 95% CI, 0.739-0.937; P = .002) as compared with patients with 4 bone bruises.

Conclusion:

The predicted position of injury for patients displaying both 3 and 4 bone bruises involved substantial anterior tibial translation (>20 mm), with the knee in a straight position in both the sagittal (<20°) and the coronal (<10°) planes.

Clinical Relevance:

Landing on a straight knee with subsequent anterior tibial translation is a potential mechanism of noncontact ACL injury.
Human factors in healthcare IT: Management considerations and trends
Authors: Kushniruk Andre W. , Borycki Elizabeth M.
Published: November 2022

A range of human factors issues are recognized as critical to the success of projects involving Health Information Technology (HIT). Problems related to the usability of HIT have come to the fore, with continued reports of systems that are non-intuitive and difficult to use and that may even pose safety risks. In this article, we consider a number of approaches from usability engineering and human factors that can be applied to improve the chances of system success and adoption. A range of methods focused around human factors can be employed throughout the system development cycle of HIT. The purpose of this article is to discuss human factors approaches that can be used to improve the likelihood of successful system adoption and also provide input into the selection and procurement process of HIT. The article concludes with recommendations regarding how understanding of human factors can be integrated into healthcare organizational decision making.
The Nature and Nurture of Callous-Unemotional Traits
Authors: Hyde Luke W. , Dotterer Hailey L.
Published: November 2022

Callous-unemotional (CU) traits, a risk factor for psychopathy, delineate youths with relatively low empathy and guilt, and identify youths with high risk for chronic and severe antisocial behavior (e.g., rule breaking, aggression). We describe work identifying nature and nurture influences on the development of CU traits. Additionally, we clarify the relationship between CU traits and psychopathy, highlight potential misinterpretations of findings on influences of “nature” versus “nurture,” and discuss treatment implications.
From Baltimore to Italy: The contribution of Grace Baxter (1869–1954) to the development of Italian nursing
Authors: Lippi Donatella , Donell Simon T , Baldanzi Francesco
Published: November 2022

The recent discovery of unpublished documents in the archives of the Camerata hospital, (Florence, I) sheds light on an important chapter in the history of nursing education and the role played by Grace Baxter (1869–1954), of English parentage but born and lived in Florence. The introduction of professional nurses was part of the international movement for the emancipation of women that included education for an active role in society. Her contribution, with other women, to the history of Italian nursing resulted in the secularisation the profession away from the attitudes of the nuns, permeation of relevant ethical standards, and the beginning of professionalisation of nurses in Italy in accordance with Florence Nightingale's teaching.
Youth athlete learning and the dynamics of social performance in Norwegian elite handball
Authors: Øydna Marie Loka , Bjørndal Christian Thue
Published: November 2022

This study examines how the social interactions of youth handball players are entangled with the ideals, beliefs and norms associated with youth athlete learning in Norwegian handball and communicated through coaching practice. This qualitative study uses Goffman's interactional sociological lens to explore how players strategically manage their interactions with peers and coaches by balancing the risks of overuse and injury with the need to be seen as promising, committed players. Our data collection was based on four focus group interviews and five individual interviews with 24 female youth handball players. The athletes reported that they conformed with the social rules and expectations of acceptable behaviour in handball because they wished to avoid being discredited in the eyes of their peers and coaches. Additionally, they engaged with these expectations through self-censorship and behavioural caution, because doing so allowed them to sustain their identity as promising athletes within the current framework of athlete development. They also feared being perceived as less committed to their development. The findings highlight how the normative expectations of youth athletes affect their sense of agency and control, the behaviours they engage in, and their understandings of what it means to be a good athlete. An understanding of how athletes perform socially in ways that facilitate opportunities for ongoing development will help to facilitate more productive, ethical and meaningful practice and pedagogies.
Evaluating Affordance-Based Opportunities: A Conjoint Experiment of Corporate Venture Capital Managers’ Decision-Making
Authors: Ademi Petrit , Schuhmacher Monika C. , Zacharakis Andrew L.
Published: November 2022

We integrate opportunity evaluation reasoning with affordance theory to develop a nuanced theoretical model of action orientation in entrepreneurial decision-making. We test our model with a conjoint experiment of 864 decisions made by 54 corporate venture capital (CVC) managers evaluating digital ventures for investment. Our findings provide evidence that CVC managers value two sources of digital affordances: the recombinability and the reprogrammability of digital technologies. The results show that CVC managers individuate affordance-based investment opportunities based on their personal and organizational background. We contribute to a fine-grained understanding of action potentials in the evaluation of opportunities and advance affordance theory through a cognitive judgment perspective.
The Battle of Battle Creek: Seeking Superfund Justice
Authors: Park Robert
Published: November 2022

An early epidemiologic study on groundwater contamination in the United States took place at an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund site in Battle Creek Michigan. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) consisting of chlorinated 2-carbon solvents were identified in private and municipal wells serving several communities. One major source of VOC was a solvent recovery operation near the municipal well field. The study modeled the VOC plume and investigated mortality and morbidity outcomes thought to be related to the VOC. Although quite statistically significant excess mortality and morbidity (hospital discharge and survey questionnaire) outcomes were observed, there were few associations with VOC water cumulative metrics. Another potentially dominant class of exposures could arise in VOC water contamination episodes from the diverse contents of spent solvents generated in multiple, local manufacturing activities. The findings at Battle Creek are re-interpreted in this light and the implications for Superfund-like investigation strategy and reporting are discussed.
A Case Report of HER2-Amplification in the Breast Without Histological Abnormality
Authors: Lee Miseon , Lee Jieun , Lee Ahwon , Kang Jun
Published: November 2022

Atypical ductal hyperplasia and low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are regarded as precursor lesions of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive invasive breast cancer. In HER2-amplified invasive breast cancer, a precursor lesion before DCIS has not yet been described. Here we introduce a case of HER2-positive lobules in the breast without histological abnormality. A 39-year-old premenopausal woman visited a hospital due to identification of microcalcifications on screening mammography. The subsequent biopsy confirmed high-grade DCIS. She underwent wide excision, and a residual high-grade DCIS with a size of 1.4 cm was found. The tumor cells were hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Around DCIS, there were terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs) showing strong HER2 positivity on IHC. These HER2-positive lobules were 7 mm away from the high-grade DCIS and was 1.1 mm in size. These HER2-positive lobules showed no histologic abnormality and had no difference compared with the surrounding normal TDLUs. Nevertheless, in addition to showing HER2 overexpression in IHC, HER2 amplification was also identified in HER2 silver in situ hybridization. HER2 amplification plays an important role in breast cancer development, and HER2 amplification is known to occur as an early event in cancer development. There have been studies identifying driver mutations in normal tissues of other organs. These findings suggest that HER2 amplification in the breast without histological abnormality could occur, and the HER2-positive lobules could be “at risk” for transformation into the precursor lesion of HER2-positive breast cancer, although the biological significance of these findings is unclear.
Using Behavioral Engagement Measures of Multiple Learning Profiles to Recognize Twice-Exceptional Students
Authors: Hulsey Donna B. , Moten Titus R. , Hebda Maryann R. , Sulak Tracey N. , Bagby Janet H.
Published: November 2022

Using the ECLS-K:2011, a nationally representative dataset, we compared measures of behavioral engagement among students with four different learning profiles: students identified with learning disabilities, students identified as gifted, students identified as both gifted and having a learning disability (twice-exceptional; 2e), and general education students. Behavioral engagement focuses on conduct in class, participation in school-related activities, and interest in academic tasks. We detected differences in engagement among the four learner profiles, specifically when comparing students with disabilities to other profiles. When comparing students with disabilities and general education students to gifted and 2e students, the effect size was medium to large. The effect size between the gifted and 2e profiles was small, suggesting similar behavioral engagement. Because disabilities and giftedness can often “mask” each other, these findings suggest that recognizing how behavioral engagement manifests in each category can lead to more accurate identification of special-needs students for GT assessment.
“What Were They Thinking?”: The Exclusion of Medicare Home Health From Providing Supplemental Social Needs Benefits
Authors: Cabin William

There is significant literature on social determinants of health (SDOH) to improve health outcomes. In response, Congress and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have expanded Medicare Advantage Plans’ ability to cover SDOH-related services through supplemental benefits and Special Needs Plans (SNPs). Congress has not authorized Traditional Medicare to cover such services. A literature review indicates no studies of Medicare home health social worker awareness of this dichotomy and their resulting perceptions of the impacts of the lack of such coverage. This article summarizes an initial, exploratory study to address the literature gap, based on interviews of a convenience sample of 44 home care social workers from 5 different home health agencies in the New York City metropolitan area between November 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022. Results indicate social workers lacked awareness of the dichotomy in coverage of SNPs and supplemental benefits in Medicare Advantage Plans and traditional Medicare. Once made aware of the dichotomy, 4 additional themes emerged from the interviews: documented patient needs were being ignored; the supplemental needs coverage permitted for Medicare Advantage plans should be extended to beneficiaries receiving traditional Medicare; and the lack of such coverage increased the risk of onset of mental and physical health conditions, and revolving door-admissions and costs. Policymakers are urged to consider adding coverage of special needs and supplemental benefits covered in Medicare Advantage to traditional Medicare, through Medicare home health.
Reproduce and adapt: Homestuck in print and digital (Re)Incarnations
Authors: Nakhaie FS
Published: November 2022

Homestuck is a hypermediated webcomic adventure that tells its story through music, animation, gameplay and even the structural features of its Web site interface. But it has also been 1) published in print as a book series and 2) ported to a new host to preserve content that used Flash Player, which is now obsolete. Both print publication and digital port simultaneously reproduce and recreate the first iteration of Homestuck – that is, they do and do not adapt it. This article uses adaptation theory to approach the under-researched question of the transition of a work from a digital format to print and porting. It identifies key sites of adaptation in what might otherwise be called versions and discusses the consequences of changes in medium/mode. The article highlights areas where the interactive mode must be adapted to showing or telling and explores how new interactive modes can emerge from a codex. It argues that Homestuck’s metafictional narratives in particular must be adapted in these new versions because they arise from an interactive relationship with the reader. Because the earlier webcomic has now been wholly replaced by the port, understanding these changes as adaptation allows us to see what is at stake the preservation of digital-born works. Homestuck’s versions show adaptation theory to be a vital lens for understanding the consequences of the differences that arise when multimedia digital-born works are reproduced with other technologies, an occurrence that will only grow more frequent over time.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness, engagement, usability, and acceptability of a web-based, computer-tailored physical activity intervention (provided as video or text) between participants who were matched or mismatched to their self-reported learning style (visual and auditory delivery through video or text-based information). Generalised linear mixed models were conducted to compare time (baseline, 3 months) by group (matched, mismatched) on ActiGraph-GT3X+measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and steps. Generalised linear models were used to compare group (matched and mismatched) on session completion, time-on-site, usability, and acceptability. MVPA and steps improved from baseline to 3-months, however this did not differ between participants whose learning styles were matched or mismatched to the intervention they received. Session completion, time-on-site, usability, and acceptability did not differ between matched and mismatched participants. Therefore, aligning intervention delivery format to learning style is unlikely to influence intervention effectiveness or engagement.
Fight, flight, freeze…or lie? Rethinking the principles of res gestae evidence in light of its revival
Authors: Coffey Ruth
Published: November 2022

This paper argues that it is long past time that res gestae evidence under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s. 118(1)4(a), described here as ‘emotionally-overpowered statements’, was abolished. Res gestae adds nothing to the hearsay regime under the CJA 2003, apart from blurring the operation of s. 114(1)(d), and it is still frequently misapplied. However, it also rests on a false premise that runs counter to modern neuroscience and embeds outdated myths about trauma victims into the law – even when the law has moved on from those assumptions in other contexts. Using comparison with excited utterances under the USA's FRE 803(2), critiques from US scholars, and insights from neuroscientific research, this paper calls for the abolition of res gestae evidence, despite recent interest in its use in cases of domestic abuse, and advocates instead for the use of the s. 114(1)(d) interests of justice test.
Criminals on the road? An exploratory study of those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving in Taipei City, Taiwan, 2014−2018
Authors: Jou Susyan , Goh Kah Kheng , Hebenton Bill
Published: November 2022

Empirical research conducted in the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe has accumulated over the last 50 years and has identified links between mainstream crime (e.g. violence and acquisitive crime) and driving offences (e.g. dangerous driving, drink driving, driving while disqualified). Put simply, international evidence reveals that a driver's willingness to commit driving offences tends to be associated with a willingness to commit other types of offence. Unlike the Anglophone countries and Europe, no peer-reviewed published research in Greater China has considered this matter empirically. Our article uses data from a data set ( n = 368) of those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving over a 4-year period (2014 − 2018) in Taipei City, capital of Taiwan, to examine associations with prior criminal history and criminal versatility in this sample of convicted drivers. Our analysis indicates the following results: the Taiwanese sample of serious driving offenders had a somewhat low prevalence of prior conviction – over 70% had no prior conviction record. None of the measures used provides evidence for any significant ‘versatility’ on the part of drivers convicted of serious driving offences. Further studies in Taiwan scrutinizing patterns in driving and mainstream criminal offences are needed, as are more nuanced analyses of the versatility of offending. Our article makes recommendations for further research in Taiwan.
Femmephobia in kindergarten education: Play environments as key sites for the early devaluation of femininity and care
Authors: Prioletta Jessica , Davies Adam W
Published: November 2022

In this article, the authors argue for a rethinking of kindergarten education from a critical feminist perspective. They illustrate how the devaluation and denigration of femininity and care – otherwise known as femmephobia – that permeates patriarchal societies is present in the seemingly innocent spaces of play in kindergarten. Tracing femmephobia in the spatial-material arrangements of play, teacher–student interactions during play, and children's play practices in two Canadian classrooms, the authors show how care-related activities and learning are deeply marginalized in kindergarten education. Given these findings, the authors propose a femininity-affirmative pedagogy in early learning. Specifically, they discuss the importance of intentional practice around an ethics of care. The authors argue that a refocus on an ethics of care in early childhood education is urgently needed in collective work towards social change.
