Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of psychopathy on employees’ creativity through the mediating role of work engagement and negative socioemotional behavior (NSEB). It also attempts to investigate the moderating effect of abusive supervision on the relationship between psychopathy and work engagement, psychopathy and NSEB.Design/methodology/approachData were collected at two-time intervals with a time-lag of three months. The final sample comprised of 267 public sector paramedical staff and supervisors in different hospitals from the southern provinces of China.FindingsThe study results show that individuals with a high level of psychopathic tendencies show a higher NSEB. Moreover, abusive supervision simulates negative social and emotional behaviors of those employees with psychopathic tendencies, which inhibit the emergence of novel and useful ideas.Originality/valueThis study is distinctive from earlier studies by presenting novel findings that employees with psychopathic tendencies are reactive to abusive supervision. Additionally, this study presents valuable implications and future research directions.
Sustainability governance and legitimisation processes: Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Authors: Elsayed Nader , Ammar Sameh 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of sustainability governance through the unfolding hybridisation process between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility and the implications of this for understanding patterns in sustainability reporting over time.

Design/methodology/approach
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill incident is an extreme case study undertaken to examine its implications on the organisational legitimacy of British Petroleum (BP) and the latter’s response to the incident and beyond. The paper draws on Suchman’s legitimacy framework (1995) to understand sustainability governance as an organisational practice that evolved post the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to manage BP’s legitimacy. It draws on archival records and documentation from 2008 to 2017, as key sources for data collection, using interrogation by NVivo software.

Findings
Sustainability governance is a sound practice that was socially constructed to manage the re-legitimatisation process following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It is characterised by broadness (the interplay between the corporate governance and corporate social responsibility disciplines), dynamic (developing the tactics to repair and maintain legitimacy), agility (conforming to the accountability for socially responsible investment and ensuring steps towards geopolitically responsible investment) and interdependence (reflecting composition and interactions).

Practical implications
This paper has practical implications for organisations, in terms of sustainability governance’s constitution, mechanism and characteristics.

Social implications
This paper has implications not only for organisations, in terms of sustainability governance’s characteristics, but also for policy-makers, regulators and accounting education. However, the present paper’s insights are achieved through an in-depth and longitudinal case study.

Originality/value
This paper has problematized the concept of sustainability governance and elaborated its evolution (the emergence, enactment, deployment and interplay) process. The sustainability governance showed an otherwise organisational response that moves our understanding of the deployment of disclosure for complex organisational change as a way to discredit events.
Trophic selectivity in aquatic isopods increases with the availability of resources

Abstract

Trophic selectivity has major influences on consumers’ fitness, stability of predator and prey populations, and nutrient fluxes in food webs. Trophic selectivity occurs when the relative abundances of resources in a consumer's diet differ from their relative abundances in the environment. This discrepancy between resources abundance and use has been predicted to increase with the availability of resources in the environment. Trophic selectivity has also been predicted to increase with the heterogeneity of resources quality in the environment. Despite their ecological and evolutionary implications, conclusive in situ tests of these predictions are still lacking.

We challenged these two predictions by studying 15 closely related species of isopods distributed along a wide range of resource availability (RA) (from 1.3 to 57.6 g of organic carbon per m2). The dataset ranged from deep cave systems, considered as some of the most resource‐limited environments on Earth, to highly productive surface streams.

For each species, we quantified the relative abundance of all available resources in the environment and estimated the heterogeneity in the stoichiometric quality of these resources. Isopod diet was determined using C and N stable isotopes and a Bayesian mixing model. The degree of trophic selectivity was then calculated for each species.

By coupling a standardized quantification of trophic resources with a fine determination of diets using stable isotopes, we uncovered a positive relationship between RA and trophic selectivity. In contrast to our second prediction, trophic selectivity did not correlate with the heterogeneity of resources quality.

Our results have important implications in trophic ecology by highlighting that RA was a main driver of trophic choices in aquatic invertebrates across a broad range of environments. These findings call for further evaluation of the mechanisms (e.g. trophic competition) causing the positive relationship between trophic selectivity and RA, as these mechanisms could be closely linked to those generating the documented relationship between species richness and productive energy.

Timing of arrival in the breeding area is repeatable and affects reproductive success in a non‐migratory population of blue tits
Authors: Gilsenan Carol , Valcu Mihai , Kempenaers Bart 
Published: January 2020

AbstractEvents in one part of the annual cycle often affect the performance (and subsequently fitness) of individuals later in the season (carry‐over effects). An important aspect of this relates to the timing of activities. For example, many studies on migratory birds have shown that relatively late‐spring arrival in the breeding area reduces both the likelihood of getting a mate or territory and reproductive success.In contrast, relatively little is known about the movements of individuals in non‐migratory populations during the non‐breeding season. Few studies have investigated the timing of arrival at the breeding area in such species, possibly due to the assumption that most individuals remain in the area during the non‐breeding season.In this study, we used 4 years of data from a transponder‐based automated recording system set up in a non‐migratory population of blue titsCyanistes caeruleusto describe individual variation in arrival at the breeding site. We investigated whether this variation can be explained by individual characteristics (sex, body size or status), and we assessed its effect on aspects of reproductive success in the subsequent breeding season.We found substantial variation in arrival date and demonstrate that this trait is individual‐specific (repeatable). Females arrived later than males, but the arrival dates of social pair members were more similar than expected by chance, which suggests that individuals may mate assortatively depending on their arrival in the breeding area. Arrival predicted both whether an individual would end up breeding that season and several aspects of its breeding success.Our study suggests that individuals of non‐migratory species leave the breeding area during the non‐breeding season. Hence, it may be useful to consider variation in the scale of movements between breeding and non‐breeding sites, rather than using a simple dichotomy between ‘resident’ and ‘migratory’ species. We conclude that the timing of pre‐breeding events, in particular arrival date, may be an overlooked, but important, fitness‐relevant trait in non‐migratory species.

AbstractAsparaginase is fundamental to the treatment of haematological malignancies. However, little has been studied on the effects that asparaginase could exert on solid tumours. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of asparaginase on an oral carcinoma cell line. The cytotoxicity of asparaginase in SCC‐9 (tongue squamous cell carcinoma) and HaCaT (human keratinocyte) cell lines was evaluated with MTT cell viability assay. The cells were treated with asparaginase at 0.04, 0.16, 0.63, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 5.0 IU/mL. Dose‐response curves and IC50 values were obtained and the Tumour Selectivity Index (TSI) was calculated. The effect of asparaginase on procaspase‐3 and nuclear factor κB (NFκB) expression was evaluated with western blot because it was reported that the overexpression of NFκB has been shown to contribute to tumour cell survival, proliferation, and migration. Caspase 3/7 staining was performed to identify cell death using flow cytometry. Effective asparaginase concentrations were lower for SCC‐9 cells when compared to HaCaT cells. The cytotoxicity results at 48 and 72 hours were significantly different for SCC‐9 cells. The TSI indicated that asparaginase was selective for the tumour cells. A decrease in procaspase‐3 and NFκB protein levels was observed in SCC‐9 cells. Furthermore, asparaginase resulted in significant apoptosis after 48 and 72 hours. Based on these results, asparaginase was cytotoxic in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner, induces apoptosis, and reduces NFκB expression in oral cancer cells. These results encourage further studies on the effectiveness of this enzyme as a treatment for solid tumours, especially head and neck cancer.
Utilizing the moral nobility of older Chinese women in governance: The uses of humility, empathy, and an ethics of care in moral clinics in Huzhou city
Authors: Wen Man , Zhang Shaoying , McGhee Derek 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis paper examines the emergence of the role of “moral doctors” who volunteer in what are called “moral clinics” in Huzhou city. In these moral clinics, the characteristics, experiences, and attributes of older women, in particular, are highly valued and viewed as being essential to the role of the moral doctor. These moral doctors act as moral exemplars and conflict mediators in their local communities. Their moral capital and professionalism, combined with their gender, age, familial and neighborhood attributes, contribute to the accumulation of an affective feminized labor which employs the techniques of care, reason, and moral fortitude to govern the self and others. We unpack these ethical virtues exemplified by moral doctors and nurses in order to show how a female‐centric “ethic of care” can become a set of techniques in governing others. In this paper, we elaborate on the role that these moral doctors perform to support the aims of the moral clinics in terms of fostering pro‐social behavior and moral obligation in local communities. We argue that the performance of this type of “moral work” is both a mechanism of discipline and a process of self‐actualization. We contribute to the current literature on “therapeutic governance” in China by showing how the non‐expert medicalization of social ills by moral doctors is incorporated into the reproduction of social control.

Contracts Between Firms and Shareholders
Authors: SCHOENFELD JORDAN 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTTheory predicts the existence of explicit bilateral contracts between firms and expert shareholders. I assemble and analyze a large‐scale data set of these contracts. Using block investments from 1996 to 2018, I find that these contracts involve mainly corporate owners and activist owners, and often specify covenants pertaining to financing, trading, directorships, dividends, joint ventures, corporate investment, financial reporting, and information access. I also find that some of the contract covenants are stated in terms of accounting information, and that the prevalence of these contracts is significantly positively associated with measures of information asymmetry between managers and shareholders. Overall, this study provides some of the first systematic evidence on explicit bilateral contracts between firms and shareholders.

BackgroundMany adult drinkers consume far beyond the binge threshold. This “high‐intensity drinking” (HID), defined as 2 (HID‐2) and 3 (HID‐3) times the binge threshold, is of public health interest due to its role in acute alcohol‐related harms. Research on HID has mostly been limited to college‐aged young adults, focused on contextual factors, and neglected the potential role of genetic influences on the propensity to engage in HID.MethodsStructured diagnostic interviews assessing past‐year alcohol involvement were conducted with 3,785 individuals (1,365 men, 2,420 women; Mage = 32, range = 21 to 46), including 3,314 twins and 471 nontwin siblings from the Australian Twin Registry. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to compare HID‐2 and HID‐3 to binge drinking on demographic correlates, drinking characteristics, and drinking‐related consequences. Biometric modeling was conducted to estimate the role of genetic, common, and individual‐specific environmental factors in HID propensity.ResultsAmong past‐year drinkers, the prevalence of HID‐2 and HID‐3 was both 22%, with men disproportionally represented. The frequencies of drinking, intoxication, and binge drinking significantly increased across the heavier drinking categories, which also evidenced higher average consumption quantities and higher rates of alcohol‐related consequences. The propensity to engage in HID was significantly heritable (A = 37% [95% CI: 28 to 46%]), with individual‐specific environmental influences accounting for the remainder of the variance.ConclusionsThis study convincingly demonstrates that HID is not restricted to college‐aged young adults, but also can be highly prevalent among those of working age, and that the propensity to engage in HID is partially explained by genetic influences.
Motor cortex dysfunction in problem gamblers

Published: January 2020

AbstractImpairments in response inhibition have been implicated in gambling psychopathology. This behavioral impairment may suggest that the neural mechanisms involved in response inhibition, such as GABAA‐mediated neurotransmission in the primary motor cortex (M1), are also impaired. The present study obtained paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation markers of GABAA and glutamate receptor activity from the left M1 of three groups—problem gamblers (n = 17, 12 males), at‐risk gamblers (n = 29, 19 males), and controls (n = 23, six males)—with each group matched for alcohol use, substance use, and attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptomology. Response inhibition was measured using the stop signal task. Results showed that problem gamblers had weaker M1 GABAA receptor activity relative to controls and elevated M1 glutamate receptor activity relative to at‐risk gamblers and controls. Although there were no differences in response inhibition between the groups, poorer response inhibition was correlated with weaker M1 GABAA receptor activity. These findings are the first to show that problem gambling is associated with alterations in M1 GABAA and glutamate‐mediated neurotransmission.
Minimal tissue excision in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease: results from a single surgical unit
Authors: Rogers Peter , Platell Cameron , Levitt Michael 
Published: January 2020

AbstractBackgroundPilonidal sinus disease is a common surgical disorder for which a clearly superior corrective operation remains elusive. Recurrence after surgery requiring re‐operation is a frequent outcome. This retrospective study examines healing rates, recurrence rates and time to healing of a minimalist approach – employing deroofing of tracks, curettage and minimal skin excision – at one centre over the last decade.MethodsThe results of all minimal excision pilonidal sinus operations performed from 2005 to 2018 by two surgeons at one centre have been analysed retrospectively. Ethics approval for this study was granted by the St John of God Health Care Human Research Ethics Committee on 11 June 2018.ResultsA total of 84 patients were included in this study with 19 females and 65 males. The median age at operation was 22 years. Of the 84 total patients, 78 achieved primary healing (93%) with an average healing time of 55 days. Of those that healed, seven recurred with an average time to recurrence of 812 days.ConclusionIn our study, minimal excision management of pilonidal sinus disease achieved primary healing in 93% with an average healing time of 55 days and a recurrence rate of 8%. These outcomes are similar, but not significantly inferior, to those reported for other surgical modalities of management. Given this, we suggest less invasive management may be a preferable first surgical option given smaller surgical intervention for similar outcomes.
Reading for Difference in the Archives of Tropical Geography: Imagining An(Other) Economic Geography for Beyond the Anthropocene
Authors: Gibson‐Graham J.K. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis paper is based on the 2016 Neil Smith Lecture presented at St Andrews University. It honours the work of a geographer whose pioneering work on uneven development and the complex relations between capitalism and nature shaped late 20thcentury thinking inside and beyond the discipline of Geography. Today the collision of earth system dynamics with socio‐economic dynamics is shaking apart Enlightenment knowledge systems, forcing questions of what it means to be a responsible inhabitant on planet earth and how, indeed, to go onwards “in a different mode of humanity”, to quote eco‐feminist philosopher Val Plumwood (2007;Australian Humanities Review42:1). “The Great Acceleration” since the 1950s of trends in key aspects of earth system health and socio‐economic change highlights powerful dynamics that have shaped a new geological epoch, contentiously named the Anthropocene—or more perhaps to Neil’s liking, the Capitalocene. In this paper I ask how might we do geographic research in these times? I reflect on this question by drawing on the feminist anti‐essentialist thinking strategy of reading for difference developed by J.K. Gibson‐Graham. I attempt to open up new ways of working with uncertain possibilities. I do so with reference to field research into place‐based knowledges of resilience in Monsoon Asia—a region that is experiencing increasingly uncertain and extreme “natural” events that signal Anthropogenic climate change. I return to “area studies” scholarship of Monsoon Asia conducted in the 1950s when the engines of economic change were starting to rev, fuelled by dire predictions of population explosion and the fear of communism. Like Neil, I am interested in the genealogy of geographical scholarship and the institutional contexts in which it developed and was influential. I look back to see how local knowledge was described and appreciated by two of our geographic forefathers and I consider how reading against the grain of capitalocentrism might play a role in making other worlds possible.

Published: January 2020

BackgroundNearly 13 million American children experience food insecurity. Research suggests that maternal depression is associated with food insecurity, such that mothers who experience depression are more likely to be food insecure. Maternal self‐efficacy may be an important protective factor against depression during the postpartum year, interrupting the link between depression and food insecurity. We extend prior research by examining food insecurity in households with infants and investigating the potential for maternal efficacy to moderate the relation between depression and food insecurity.MethodsData were drawn from the Kids in Columbus Study, a longitudinal study of diverse, economically disadvantaged mothers and their young children in Columbus, Ohio (N = 219). Data for this study were drawn from data collected between July 2014 and June 2016.ResultsOver one‐third of families experienced food insecurity. Further, depression was positively and significantly related to household food insecurity; this relationship, however, was dependent on maternal efficacy. When maternal efficacy was high, the relationship between depression and food insecurity was nonsignificant; when maternal efficacy was low, there was a significant, positive association between depression and food insecurity.ConclusionsIncreasing maternal self‐efficacy during the postpartum period may reduce food insecurity in low‐income mothers who are experiencing depression.

Published: January 2020

SummaryCentral nervous system (CNS) relapse is a common cause of treatment failure in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) despite current CNS‐directed therapies that are also associated with significant short‐ and long‐term toxicities. Herein, we showed that leukaemia cells exhibit decreased proliferation, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased cell death in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) both in vitro and in vivo. However, interactions between leukaemia and meningeal cells mitigated these adverse effects. This work expands our understanding of the pathophysiology of CNS leukaemia and suggests novel therapeutic approaches for more effectively targeting leukaemia cells in the CNS.
