From wheel of fortune to wheel of misfortune: Financial crises, cycles, and consumer predation
Authors: Mesly Olivier , Shanafelt David W. , Huck Nicolas , Racicot François‐Éric 
Published: July 2020

AbstractPredator–prey dynamics are widely used in ecology but seldom utilized in economics and marketing, despite their ability to express financial market agents' behaviors when considered in combination with economic cycles and financial crises. This multidisciplinary article presents a stylized framework of a market cycle that combines the notions of supply and demand and predator–prey interactions between buyers and sellers of housing mortgages. We illustrate our framework using data from the Global Financial Crisis and a Lotka‐Volterra predator–prey model. We find that with our framework we can capture the dynamics of the market, particularly the peak and decline in the number of sellers and sold subprime mortgages. Our framework sheds a new light on consumer behaviors, pinpointing how they can put themselves into vulnerable prey positions. This article is one of the first of its kind to propose market phases and predator–prey dynamics nested in economic cycles and consumer buying trends.
Taxing Gambling Machines To Enhance Public and Private Revenue
Authors: Garrett Thomas A. , Paton David , Vaughan Williams Leighton 
Published: July 2020

SUMMARYElectronic gambling (‘slot’) machines are a key component of the global gambling industry. We introduce a theoretical framework which shows that under reasonable assumptions, shifting from a per‐machine licence fee to a gross profits tax (GPT) on machine revenue can help to resolve policy tensions between industry profitability, economic growth and government revenue. We test the theory using data on recent changes to gambling taxation in the UK, in particular the move to a gross profits‐based Machine Games Duty (MGD). Our results reveal that the shift from licence fees to a revenue‐neutral MGD led to a significant increase in the number of machines, as predicted by the theory, and in machine revenue. These results provide useful guidance for all parties involved in the gambling taxation debate, especially those jurisdictions that are considering or are open to a change to their gambling tax system.

Published: July 2020

AbstractInformation about the genomic processes underlying responses to temperature changes is still limited in non‐model marine invertebrates. In this sense, transcriptomic analyses can help to identify genes potentially related to thermal responses. We here investigated, via RNA‐seq, whole‐transcriptomic responses to increased and decreased temperatures in a thermophilous keystone sea urchin, Arbacia lixula, whose populations are increasing in the Mediterranean. This species is a key driver of benthic communities’ structure due to its grazing activity. We found a strong response to experimentally induced cold temperature (7°C), with 1,181 differentially expressed transcripts relative to the control condition (13°C), compared to only 179 in the warm (22°C) treatment. A total of 84 (cold treatment) and three (warm treatment) gene ontology terms were linked to the differentially expressed transcripts. At 7°C the expression of genes encoding different heat shock proteins (HSPs) was upregulated, together with apoptotic suppressor genes (e.g., Bcl2), genes involved in the infection response and/or pathogen‐recognition (e.g., echinoidin) and ATP‐associated genes, while protein biosynthesis and DNA replication pathways were downregulated. At 22°C neither HSPs induction nor activation of the previously mentioned pathways were detected, with the exception of some apoptotic‐related activities that were upregulated. Our results suggest a strong transcriptional response associated with low temperatures, and support the idea of low water temperature being a major limitation for A. lixula expansion across deep Mediterranean and northern Atlantic waters.
Home‐care nurses’ distinctive work: A discourse analysis of what takes precedence in changing healthcare services
Authors: Fjørtoft Ann‐Kristin , Oksholm Trine , Delmar Charlotte , Førland Oddvar , Alvsvåg Herdis 
Published: July 2020

AbstractOngoing changes in many Western countries have resulted in more healthcare services being transferred to municipalities and taking place in patients’ homes. This greatly impacts nurses’ work in home care, making their work increasingly diverse and demanding. In this study, we explore home‐care nursing through a critical discourse analysis of focus group interviews with home‐care nurses. Drawing on insights from positioning theory, we discuss the content and delineation of their work and the interweaving of contextual changes. Nurses hold a crucial position in home healthcare, particularly in ensuring care for sicker patients with complex needs. Assessing health needs, performing advanced care, and at the same time, providing customized solutions in various homes were identified as distinctive for home‐care nurses’ work. Changes have made nurses’ work become driven by comprehensive tasks and acute medical needs that require much of their competence and time. Urgent care seems to take precedence in nurses’ work, leaving less time and attention for other tasks such as conversations and support for coping with everyday life. This underlines the need to investigate and discuss the content and scope of nurses’ work to help shape the further development of home‐care nursing.

Summary

Endemism and rarity have long intrigued scientists. We focused on a rare endemic and critically‐endangered species in a global biodiversity hotspot, Grevillea thelemanniana (Proteaceae).

We carried out plant and soil analyses of four Proteaceae, including G. thelemanniana, and combined these with glasshouse studies. The analyses related to hydrology and plant water relations as well as soil nutrient concentrations and plant nutrition, with an emphasis on sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca).

The local hydrology and matching plant traits related to water relations partially accounted for the distribution of the four Proteaceae. What determined the rarity of G. thelemanniana, however, was its accumulation of Ca. Despite much higher total Ca concentrations in the leaves of the rare G. thelemanniana than in the common Proteaceae, very few Ca crystals were detected in epidermal or mesophyll cells. Instead of crystals, G. thelemanniana epidermal cell vacuoles contained exceptionally high concentrations of noncrystalline Ca. Calcium ameliorated the negative effects of Na on the very salt‐sensitive G. thelemanniana. Most importantly, G. thelemanniana required high concentrations of Ca to balance a massively accumulated feeding‐deterrent carboxylate, trans‐aconitate.

This is the first example of a calcicole species accumulating and using Ca to balance accumulation of an antimetabolite.

Published: July 2020

AbstractThe high prevalence of rotator cuff tears poses challenges to individual patients and the healthcare system at large. This orthopedic injury is complicated further by high rates of retear after surgical repair. Outcomes following repair are highly dependent upon the quality of the injured rotator cuff muscles, and it is, therefore, crucial that the pathophysiology of rotator cuff degeneration continues to be explored. Fibro‐adipogenic progenitors, a major population of resident muscle stem cells, have emerged as the main source of intramuscular fibrosis and fatty infiltration, both of which are key features of rotator cuff muscle degeneration. Improvements to rotator cuff repair outcomes will likely require addressing the muscle pathology produced by these cells. The aim of this review is to summarize the current rotator cuff degeneration assessment tools, the effects of poor muscle quality on patient outcomes, the role of fibro‐adipogenic progenitors in mediating muscle pathology, and how these cells could be leveraged for potential therapeutics to augment current rotator cuff surgical and rehabilitative strategies.
Profiling thermal pain using quantitative sensory testing in patients with trigeminal nerve injury
Authors: Kim Hye‐Kyoung , Kim Mee‐Eun 
Published: July 2020

AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the thermal pain phenotypes using QST in patients with unilateral trigeminal nerve injury and to explore whether these different thermal pain phenotypes are associated with clinical and psychophysical characteristics.MethodsThis retrospective study included 84 patients diagnosed with posttraumatic trigeminal neuropathy involving inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and lingual nerve (LN). Data on clinical characteristics, subjective symptoms including hypoesthesia, dysesthesia, and allodynia, and objective signs using thermal QST were collected and explored.ResultsThree heat (heat hypoalgesia, heat hyperalgesia, and within normal range) and cold pain phenotypes (cold hypoalgesia, cold hyperalgesia, and within normal ranges) were identified, respectively. Thermal hypoalgesia was more frequently observed than thermal hyperalgesia. Heat hypoalgesia regardless of cold pain abnormalities appears to be associated with subjective negative symptoms, while thermal hyperalgesia seems to have little relationship with negative and positive symptoms. Thermal pain phenotypes were associated with loss of innocuous thermal sensation. Unlike heat pain phenotypes, cold pain phenotypes differed between IAN injury and LN injury.ConclusionThe thermal pain phenotypes identified in this study seem to be related to clinical and psychophysical findings differently. These results would be a good starting point for assessing posttraumatic trigeminal neuropathy and interpreting the thermal QST results.

ProposeTo analyze the clinical and epidemiological features of patients who underwent wrist arthroscopy procedures.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional epidemiological study. The study included a cohort of patients who underwent wrist arthroscopy procedures in a national orthopaedic referral center from 1 February, 2014 to 1 February, 2019. The medical records, diagnosis, and every wrist arthroscopy procedure of all the patients were collected and reviewed. The epidemiological features, detail of the diagnoses, and the procedures of all the patients were systemically analyzed. All the patients were divided into two groups: trauma and non‐trauma conditions. The complexity of the wrist arthroscopy procedure was classified into simple procedures (exploration or debridement) and complex procedures (repair or reconstruction). χ2 test was used to compare proportions between the procedures of different complexity and the two groups of patients.ResultsA total of 533 patients (332 males and 201 females) were included in this study. More than half (56%) of the patients were in the age group 21–40 and nearly two thirds (62%) of all the 533 patients were male. The diagnoses of all the patients could be classified into eight categories: (i) TFCC injury; (ii) ulnar impactions syndrome; (iii) carpal trauma (carpal bone fractures and/or carpal ligament injures); (iv) distal radius fractures; (v) carpal bone cyst or necrosis; (vi) ganglion cyst; (vii) wrist arthritis; and (viii) disorders of small joint of the hand. The most common conditions treated with wrist arthroscopy were TFCC injury (172 cases), followed by carpal trauma (125 cases) and ulnar impaction syndrome (84 cases). The simple arthroscopic procedures (exploration or debridement) account for 53% of all the procedures while complex reparative or reconstructive procedures account for 47%. There was a significant difference in the proportion between simple procedures and complex procedures in both trauma and non‐traumatic patients. Repair or reconstruction procedures were more frequently performed for wrist trauma patients, whereas exploration or debridement procedures were more frequently performed for non‐trauma patients.ConclusionsThe largest group of patients who underwent wrist arthroscopy surgery are those who complained of ulnar‐sided wrist pain and the commonly conducted wrist arthroscopy procedures have evolved from simple exploration/debridement to the more complex repair or reconstruction procedures in China.
An interpretative phenomenological analysis of service users’ experiences in a psychosocial addictions intervention
Authors: Dawood Runa , Done John 
Published: July 2020

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore the subjective experiences of participants who: (1) received a psychosocial intervention as part of an addiction recovery research trial, and (2) responded to treatment through drug reduction, with the intention of eliciting qualitative change processes of recovery.DesignData were collected using semi‐structured interviews designed to capture detailed descriptions of participants’ experiences of recovery within the intervention.MethodsEleven participants who had achieved drug abstinence or significant drug reduction by successfully completing the psychosocial intervention took part in the study. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).ResultsFive superordinate themes were identified relating to (1) An active, individualised and skills‐based intervention that validates a new way of being; (2) Staff that foster good working relationships based on trust and safety within services that do not stigmatise; (3) To be understood individually, historically and psychologically, and with regard to the pernicious relationship with drugs; (4) Motivation is personal, intrinsic, requires vigilance and is driven forward by periods of success through abstinence; and (5) Interpersonal connectedness is essential to recovery; family is a key reason to abstain and friendships can either facilitate or hinder success.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the success of the psychosocial intervention may be due to a combination of modality specific factors and also broader holistic aspects that were provided through intervention. Future research is required to generalise these findings to wider addiction populations.Practitioner points

Review of the evidence base suggests the need to move beyond testing addiction interventions and instead understand change processes through psychosocial intervention.

Narratives of lived experience of those undergoing psychosocial intervention inform us that specific features relating to intervention, working relationship, motivation, identity and interpersonal factors instigate recovery.

Practitioners should consider a multi‐faceted approach in designing and applying psychosocial intervention for addiction.

SummaryRice is a staple food for half of the world's population. Changing climatic conditions, water and labour scarcity are the major challenges that shall limit future rice production. Dry direct‐seeded rice (DDSR) is emerging as an efficient, resources conserving, mechanized, climate smart and economically viable strategy to be adopted as an alternative to puddled transplanted rice (TPR) with the potential to address the problem of labour‐water shortages and ensure sustainable rice cultivation. Despite these benefits, several constraints obstruct the adoption of DDSR. In principle, the plant type for DDSR should be different from one for TPR, which could be achieved by developing rice varieties that combine the traits of upland and lowland varieties. In this context, recent advances in precise phenotyping and NGS‐based trait mapping led to identification of promising donors and QTLs/genes for DDSR favourable traits to be employed in genomic breeding. This review discusses the important traits influencing DDSR, research studies to clarify the need for breeding DDSR‐specific varieties to achieve enhanced grain yield, climate resilience and nutrition demand. We anticipate that in the coming years, genomic breeding for developing DDSR‐specific varieties would be a regular practice and might be further strengthened by combining superior haplotypes regulating important DDSR traits by haplotype‐based breeding.

Published: July 2020

AbstractHermansky–Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism or ocular albinism, bleeding diathesis, and other symptoms such as colitis and pulmonary fibrosis. Eleven causative genes have been identified for HPS‐1–HPS‐11 subtypes in humans. We have identified 16 newly reported patients including the first HPS‐2 case in the Chinese population. In a total of 40 HPS patients, hypopigmentation was milder in HPS‐3, HPS‐5, and HPS‐6 patients than in HPS‐1 and HPS‐4 patients. HPS‐1 accounted for 47.5% (19 of 40) of HPS cases which is the most common subtype. Exons 11 and 19 were the hotspots of the HPS1 gene mutations. In total, 55 allelic variants were identified in HPS1–HPS6 gene, of which 17 variants were previously unreported. These results will be useful for the evaluation of the relationship between HPS genotypes and phenotypes, and for the precise intervention of HPS patients in the Chinese population.

Published: July 2020

AbstractViability assessment is an important part of semen analysis, and various live/dead staining protocols have been used in semen of avian species. Results of live/dead count differed between dyes, staining protocols and bird species, impeding comparability between studies and requiring species‐specific comparisons of viability stains. In raptor semen, similar comparisons are absent. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare eight conventional viability stains. Eosin blue 2% [EB], eosin blue 2% with the addition of 3% sodium citrate [EB2], eosin blue–nigrosin 5% [EBN5], eosin yellow–nigrosin 5% [EYN5], eosin yellow–nigrosin 10% [EYN10], eosin blue–aniline blue [EBA], eosin yellow–aniline blue [EYA] and bromophenol blue–nigrosin [BBN] were evaluated in comparison with the fluorescence stain SYBR® Green–propidium iodide [SYBR‐PI] in spermatozoa of falcons. The comparison was performed using conventional light microscopy which is applicable in breeding centres, veterinary practices and field studies. Additionally, live/dead stains were correlated to motility values of the same samples to validate sperm viability. Light microscopy using EB and using SYBR‐PI enabled an effective and clear differentiation between alive and dead spermatozoa of falcons. Motility values correlated significantly and strongly with EB only (r = .629; p < .001), but not with any other stain used in the study. Therefore, our results suggest EB as the most suitable stain for viability assessment in the semen of large falcons.
The hybrid regulatory regime in turbulent times: The role of the state in China's stock market crisis in 2015–2016
Authors: Li Chen , Zheng Huanhuan , Liu Yunbo 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe hybridization of socialist state control with increasingly complex financial markets has generated unusual features in China's financial regulatory regime. Using the 2015–2016 stock market crisis as a case study, this article draws on the Legal Theory of Finance (LTF) to analyze the state‐market interface and crisis governance in China's stock market. It illustrates the shift of China's stock market governance away from traditional administrative hierarchies to more plural and hybrid forms of ownership, control, and regulatory governance. By examining the policy process, market dynamics, and crisis management in the evolution of China's 2015–2016 stock market crashes, it identifies the endogenous dilemmas of regulatory elasticity and campaign‐style enforcement in China's hybrid regulatory regime, which have amplified policy noises and led to a destabilizing feedback loop between policy‐induced market turbulence and market‐induced organizational turbulence inside the regulatory bureaucracy.
A Scope Argument against T‐to‐C Movement in Sluicing
Authors: Landau Idan 
Published: July 2020

AbstractMost accounts of sluicing assume it is derived byTPdeletion atPF; however, C′ deletion is a viable option, which is even better equipped to explain the Sluicing–Comp Generalization. Nonetheless, this article shows that C′ deletion must be rejected, because it predicts scope enhancement for modals that raise to C in sluicing when in fact they take scope in T or below it. An implication is that some independent principle must block T‐to‐C movement under sluicing. The results further confirm that head movement must be a syntactic operation insofar as it affects semantic interpretation.
Investigating the Nonlinear Dynamics of Human Balance Using Topological Data Analysis

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms behind human balance has been a subject of interest as various postural instabilities have been linked to neuromuscular diseases (e.g., Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and concussion). This paper presents a method to characterize an individual's postural stability and estimate of their neuromuscular feedback control parameters. The method uses a generated topological mapping between a subject's experimental data and a dataset consisting of time-series realizations generated using an inverted pendulum mathematical model of upright balance. The performance of the method is quantified using a set of validation time-series realizations with known stability and neuromuscular control parameters. The method was found to have an overall sensitivity of 85.1% and a specificity of 91.9%. Furthermore, the method was most accurate when identifying limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) with a sensitivity of 91.1% and a specificity of 97.6%. Such a method has the capability of classifying an individual's stability and revealing possible neuromuscular impairment related to balance control, ultimately providing useful information to clinicians for diagnostic and rehabilitation purposes.
