Electronic service quality: a meta-analysis
Authors: Lionello Rafael Laitano , Slongo Luiz Antonio , Matos Celso Augusto de 
Published: April 2020

PurposeResearch studies on electronic service quality (ESQ) have presented heterogeneous findings, with distinct effects of mediators and moderators, for instance. Hence, the purpose of this study is to present a systematic review and a quantitative integration of the main findings regarding the attributes and effects of ESQ.Design/methodology/approachA meta-analysis was conducted of 134 studies regarding ESQ. Based on the extant literature, authors propose a conceptual model that review quality attributes, meta-analyze their effects on general quality, perceived value, satisfaction, trust and loyalty and test the moderation of three contextual variables (i.e. mobile vs nonmobile device, online shopping vs pure service; specific site vs Internet).FindingsDirect effects indicate that all proposed associations are significant, but with high variability, thus suggesting moderating effects. For instance, (1) type of device used by the customer, (2) type of service under analysis and (3) unit of analysis (i.e. site vs Internet) affect the relationship between quality attributes and satisfaction. This study also supported perceived value and satisfaction as relevant mediators in the link quality → loyalty.Originality/valueThis study analyses the general attributes of the ESQ construct, without the restriction of a specific model or type of service, and then tested the influence of the context. This study also shows that a substantial portion of the quality effect is transferred to loyalty through perceived value and customer satisfaction.

ObjectiveWomen's levels of resilience and attitudes towards perineal lacerations vary greatly. Some women see them as part of the birthing process, while others react with anger, depressed mood or even thoughts of self‐harm. A previous study has reported increased risk of postpartum depressive (PPD) symptoms in women with severe perineal lacerations. The aim of this study was to assess the association between severe obstetric perineal lacerations and PPD. A secondary objective was to assess this association among women with low resilience.DesignNested cohort study.SettingUppsala, Sweden.SampleVaginally delivered women with singleton pregnancies (n = 2990).MethodsThe main exposure was obstetric perineal lacerations. Resilience was assessed in gestational week 32 using the Swedish version of the Sense of Coherence Scale. A digital acyclic graph was used to identify possible confounders and mediators. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). A sub‐analysis was run after excluding women with normal or high resilience.Main outcome measuresPostpartum depression, assessed with the Depression Self‐Reporting Scale, completed at 6 weeks postpartum.ResultsThere was no significant association between severe obstetric perineal lacerations and PPD at 6 weeks postpartum. However, a significant association was found between severe lacerations and PPD in women with low resilience (OR = 4.8, 95% CI 1.2–20), persisting even after adjusting for confounding factors.ConclusionHealthcare professionals might need to identify women with low resilience, as they are at increased risk for PPD after a severe perineal laceration.Tweetable abstractSevere perineal lacerations associated with postpartum depression in women with low resilience in a Swedish cohort.

ObjectiveTo clarify whether preconception paternal smoking has any adverse effects on the offspring.DesignProspective, population‐based study.SettingPreconception registry data from the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project.Population or sampleCouples planning pregnancy, with complete information on preconception paternal smoking behaviour and pregnancy outcomes.MethodsThe effect of questionnaire‐based paternal smoking behaviour during preconception and pregnancy was assessed via logistic regression. Additionally, we performed a 1:1 case–control (birth defects versus normal pregnancy) analysis, matched for maternal province, folic acid supplementation and paternal alcohol consumption.Main outcome measuresRisk of birth defects in offspring.ResultsIn total, 566 439 couples with complete information on preconception paternal smoking behaviour and pregnancy outcomes were enrolled. The preconception paternal smoking rate was 28.7% (162 482) overall: 8.7% (49 303) stopped smoking, 13.3% (75 517) decreased their smoking, and 6.6% (37 662) continued smoking during early pregnancy. The risk of birth defects was higher in the continued‐smoking (P < .000, odds ratio [OR] 1.87, 95% CI 1.36–2.56) and decreased‐smoking groups (P = .007, OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.10–1.82). In the case–control analysis, infants whose fathers stopped (P = .003, OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.15–0.67) or decreased smoking (P = .000, OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.13–0.49) were at lower risk of congenital heart diseases, limb abnormalities, digestive tract anomalies and neural tube defects than those whose fathers continued smoking.ConclusionPreconception paternal smoking may be associated with congenital heart diseases, limb abnormalities and neural tube defects in the offspring. Changes in smoking behaviour may reduce this risk.Tweetable abstractThis study suggests that preconception paternal smoking is associated with birth defects in offspring. Changes in smoking behaviour may reduce this risk.

BackgroundEpidemiological data on obstetric and oncologic complications in twin pregnancies combining a complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) coexisting with a normal fetus and placenta are limited.ObjectivesTo evaluate perinatal and obstetric outcomes for mother and fetus and risk of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) in twin pregnancies including a CHM.Search strategyPubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE and the grey literature were searched for articles published between May 1980 and May 2019 using a protocol designed a priori and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42018112524).Selection criteriaObservational cohort studies of four or more cases confirmed by histopathology and providing data on pregnancy outcomes and GTN.Data collection and analysisTwo reviewers independently reviewed abstracts and full‐text articles. The quality of the studies was assessed with the Newcastle‐Ottawa scale and a meta‐analysis was performed.Main resultsOf the 344 abstracts identified, 14 studies (244 cases) met the eligibility criteria. The incidence of maternal complication in ongoing pregnancies was 80.8% and included vaginal bleeding, hyperthyroidism and pre‐eclampsia. There were overall 91 (50%) live births in ongoing pregnancies and 83 (34%) of the total cases were subsequently diagnosed with GTN. Substantial and significant (P < 0.001) heterogeneity was found for the incidence of preeclampsia indicating variability in reporting the incidence of some obstetric complications between studies.ConclusionsPatients diagnosed with a twin pregnancy combining a CHM and an apparently normal fetus have a high risk of perinatal complications, low live‐birth rates and around a third of them will develop a GTN and should be managed by specialised multidisciplinary teams.Tweetable abstractOur study indicates a high rate of obstetric and oncologic complications in patients presenting with a complete hydatidiform mole and coexistent normal fetus.

AbstractCardinium and Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacterial symbionts of arthropods that can manipulate host reproduction by increasing the fitness of infected females. Here, we report that Cardinium and Wolbachia coinfection induced male‐killing and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) when they coexisted in a cryptic species of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Asia II7. Cardinium and Wolbachia symbionts were either singly or simultaneously localized in the bacteriocytes placed in the abdomen of B. tabaci nymphs and adults. Cardinium–Wolbachia coinfection induced male‐killing and resulted in a higher female sex ratio in the intraspecific amphigenetic progeny of Asia II7 ICWH and ICWL lines; interestingly, male‐killing induction was enhanced with increased Cardinium titer. Moreover, single infection of Wolbachia induced partial CI in the Asia II7 IW line and resulted in reduced fecundity, higher embryonic mortality, and lower female sex ratio. The uninfected Asia II7 IU line had significantly higher fecundity, lower embryonic and nymphal mortalities, and a lower level of CI than both the Wolbachia‐infected Asia II7 IW line and the Cardinium–Wolbachia‐coinfected Asia II7 ICWH line. Our findings indicate that Cardinium–Wolbachia coinfection induced male‐killing, which may have had antagonistic effects on Wolbachia‐induced CI in the Asia II7 whiteflies. For the first time, our study revealed that B. tabaci Asia II7 reproduction is co‐manipulated by Cardinium and Wolbachia endosymbionts.

Published: April 2020

AbstractPromoted by the barcoding approach, mitochondrial DNA is more than ever used as a molecular marker to identify species boundaries. Yet, it has been repeatedly argued that it may be poorly suited for this purpose, especially in insects where mitochondria are often associated with invasive intracellular bacteria that may promote their introgression. Here, we inform this debate by assessing how divergent nuclear genomes can be when mitochondrial barcodes indicate very high proximity. To this end, we obtained RAD‐seq data from 92 barcode‐based species‐like units (operational taxonomic units [OTUs]) spanning four insect orders. In 100% of the cases, the observed median nuclear divergence was lower than 2%, a value that was recently estimated as one below which nuclear gene flow is not uncommon. These results suggest that although mitochondria may occasionally leak between species, this process is rare enough in insects to make DNA barcoding a reliable tool for clustering specimens into species‐like units.

AbstractThis study investigated the effect of land‐use on density and distribution patterns of termite mounds. A total area of 12 ha was investigated using four 1 ha plots from each of three land‐use types (mango orchards, maize fields and communal rangelands). A total of 297 mounds from four termite species were recorded. Plotted GIS coordinates for each mound in ArcMap showed a random distribution pattern in all land‐use types. The mean number of mounds per hectare was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in communal rangelands (52.5 ± 1.21), than in maize fields (14.75 ± 3.15) and mango orchards (7.5 ± 0.87), and dominated by small‐sized mounds ofTrinervitermessp. Few mounds ofOdontotermessp. were found. Mounds of the edible termites,Macrotermes natalensisandM. falciger, were found in all land‐use types, with the highest density for both species being in maize fields. Although the mound height for both species was similar, mound circumference forM. falcigerwas significantly larger (p < 0.001) which may limit land available for agricultural use. Density of mounds was influenced by land‐use which may lead to changes in termite ecosystem functioning and availability of termites as a free source of protein.

SummaryAs COVID–19 disease escalates globally, optimising patient outcome during this catastrophic healthcare crisis is the number one priority. The principles of patient blood management are fundamental strategies to improve patient outcomes and should be given high priority in this crisis situation. The aim of this expert review is to provide clinicians and healthcare authorities with information regarding how to apply established principles of patient blood management during the COVID–19 pandemic. In particular, this review considers the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic on blood supply and specifies important aspects of donor management. We discuss how preventative and control measures implemented during the COVID–19 crisis could affect the prevalence of anaemia, and highlight issues regarding the diagnosis and treatment of anaemia in patients requiring elective or emergency surgery. In addition, we review aspects related to patient blood management of critically ill patients with known or suspected COVID–19, and discuss important alterations of the coagulation system in patients hospitalised due to COVID–19. Finally, we address special considerations pertaining to supply‐demand and cost‐benefit issues of patient blood management during the COVID–19 pandemic.

AbstractAimPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) results in right ventricular (RV) dysfunction owing, in part, to RV ischemia. The relative contribution of RV microvascular rarefaction vs reduced right coronary artery perfusion pressure (RCA‐PP) to RV ischemia remains unknown. We hypothesize that increasing RCA‐PP improves RV function in PAH by increasing RV systolic perfusion.MethodsSupra‐coronary aortic banding (SAB) or sham surgery was performed on male Sprague‐Dawley rats. Seven to ten days later, rats received either monocrotaline (MCT; 60 mg/kg) or saline. After 1 month, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, 99mTc‐sestamibi single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and microsphere infusion studies were performed. The RV was harvested for measurement of hypertrophy (RVH), fibrosis and immunoblotting, and the lung was harvested for pulmonary artery (PA) histology.ResultsSupra‐coronary aortic banding increased systolic pressures in proximal aorta and systolic RCA‐PP in SAB + MCT vs MCT rats (114 ± 12 vs 5 ± 9 mm Hg), without altering diastolic RCA‐PP. SAB + MCT rats had improved RV function vs MCT rats, evident from their significantly increased cardiac output (CO), RV free wall (RVFW) thickening, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and RV‐PA coupling indices. RV‐PA coupling indices and CO correlated directly with systolic RCA‐PP. RV perfusion was increased in SAB + MCT vs MCT rats and correlated well with CO; whereas microvascular rarefaction was unaltered. SAB + MCT rats had less RVH and fibrosis and lower PA pressures vs MCT rats. SAB + MCT rats had significantly lower RV pyruvate kinase muscle isoform 2/1 ratios than MCT rats, consistent with restoration of oxidative metabolism.ConclusionA SAB‐induced increase in systolic RCA‐PP improves RV perfusion and function in MCT rats. Maintaining systolic RCA perfusion can preserve RV function in PAH.

Formation, structure, and function of extra‐skeletal bones in mammals
Authors: Nasoori Alireza 
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTThis review describes the formation, structure, and function of bony compartments in antlers, horns, ossicones, osteoderm and the os penis/os clitoris (collectively referred to herein as AHOOO structures) in extant mammals. AHOOOs are extra‐skeletal bones that originate from subcutaneous (dermal) tissues in a wide variety of mammals, and this review elaborates on the co‐development of the bone and skin in these structures. During foetal stages, primordial cells for the bony compartments arise in subcutaneous tissues. The epithelial–mesenchymal transition is assumed to play a key role in the differentiation of bone, cartilage, skin and other tissues in AHOOO structures. AHOOO ossification takes place after skeletal bone formation, and may depend on sexual maturity. Skin keratinization occurs in tandem with ossification and may be under the control of androgens. Both endochondral and intramembranous ossification participate in bony compartment formation. There is variation in gradients of density in different AHOOO structures. These gradients, which vary according to function and species, primarily reduce mechanical stress. Anchorage of AHOOOs to their surrounding tissues fortifies these structures and is accomplished by bone–bone fusion and Sharpey fibres. The presence of the integument is essential for the protection and function of the bony compartments. Three major functions can be attributed to AHOOOs: mechanical, visual, and thermoregulatory. This review provides the first extensive comparative description of the skeletal and integumentary systems of AHOOOs in a variety of mammals.
Gender Fluidity and Nonbinary Gender Identities Among Children and Adolescents
Authors: Diamond Lisa M. 
Published: April 2020

AbstractA growing number of children and adolescents report having gender identities or expressions that differ from their birth‐assigned gender or from social and cultural gender norms. Some identify as transgender, whereas others consider themselves nonbinary or gender fluid. Nonbinary and gender fluid youth are distinct from transgender youth in that they typically report that their gender identity (i.e., their internal sense of gender) or their gender expression (i.e., their public presentation of their gender through appearance, dress, and behavior) fall outside the traditional male–female binary. For example, nonbinary youth may identify as both male and female or neither male nor female. In this article, I discuss what we know about nonbinary forms of gender identity and expression among children and adolescents, and how these experiences converge and diverge from binary forms of the transgender experience. I also identify the most important priorities for fostering well‐being among all youth.
“Several times I have asked the judge to get my children back”: 10 years of foster care complaints at the Flemish Office of the Children's Rights Commissioner
Authors: De Wilde Lieselot , Vanobbergen Bruno 
Published: April 2020

AbstractEuropean societies struggle with the question of how to deal best with, and organize care for, those children who, for various reasons, need to be placed out of their home. In an attempt to protect these children, states organize different forms of care. Under the influence of testimonies of abuse and neglect, the image of residential care has become tainted and the placement of looked‐after children in foster families has become increasingly favoured. This evolution towards a manifest choice for foster care is defended as being more in “the interests of the child.” However, the “best interests of the child” notion is applicable in decisions concerning substitute care in many different ways. During the last decade, the shift towards a child's perspective away from a family‐preservation perspective is noticeable. We argue in this paper that this focus on children's needs is at the expense of the rights and identity of the parents. Based on an analysis of 342 complaints concerning foster care reported to the Flemish Office of the Children's Rights Commissioner, we analysed which “alarming situations” are reported and highlight a number of pressing concerns from the perspective of parents.
A synergy Thompson sampling hyper‐heuristic for the feature selection problem
Authors: Lassouaoui Mourad , Boughaci Dalila , Benhamou Belaid 
Published: April 2020

SummaryTo classify high‐dimensional data, feature selection plays a key role to eliminate irrelevant attributes and enhance the classification accuracy and efficiency. Since feature selection is an NP‐Hard problem, many heuristics and metaheuristics have been used to tackle in practice this problem. In this article, we propose a novel approach that consists in a probabilistic selection hyper‐heuristic called the synergy Thompson sampling hyper‐heuristic. The Thompson sampling selection strategy is a probabilistic reinforcement learning mechanism to assess the behavior of the low‐level heuristics, and to predict which one will be more efficient at each point during the search process. The proposed hyper‐heuristic is combined with a 1 nearest neighbor classifier from the Weka framework. It aims to find the best subset of features that maximizes the classification accuracy rate. Experimental results show a good performance in favor of the proposed method when comparing with other existing approaches.
