Does outward appearance appeal to the inward mind? The impact of packaging finishes on brand impressions and the subsequent behavior of consumer
Authors: Chen Yu-Shan Athena 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify conditions under which consumers prefer matte packages and those under which they prefer glossy packages and to extend the findings to the context of consumer evaluations.

Design/methodology/approach
A series of four experiments-conducted across a diverse range of settings and consumers (through lab experiments and field studies) and using different types of products (mobile phones, invitation cards, wrappers and coffee packs)- examined the effects of matte and glossy packaging finishes on consumer evaluations (i.e. preferences, attitudes and purchase intentions). This paper further developed moderated mediation models to illustrate the mechanisms underlying the examined effects.

Findings
People with warmth and competence focus favored matte and glossy packaging, respectively. In addition, the warmth (competence) focus enhanced the positive influence of matte (glossy) packaging on brand sincerity (competence), leading to more favorable consumer evaluations (i.e. brand attitudes, product attitudes and purchase intentions).

Practical implications
This study provides managers with insights into conferring desired impressions of sincerity (competence) upon a brand and methods of attracting certain warmth focused (competence focused) consumers by using matte (glossy) packaging finishes.

Originality/value
This is the study to systematically investigate the effect of packaging finishes on brand impressions and consumer evaluations.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the impact of commercial dental insurer and provider concentration on dentist reimbursement.Data SourcesWe utilized provider data from the American Dental Association, reimbursement data from IBM Watson MarketScan® Commercial Research Databases, submitted billed charges from FAIR Health®, dental insurance market concentration data from FAIR Health®, and county‐level demographic and economic data from the Area Health Resources File and the Council for Community and Economic Research.Study DesignWe used the Herfindahl‐Hirschman Index to separately measure commercial dental insurance concentration and dentist concentration. We studied the effect of provider and insurance concentration on dentist reimbursement. Using two‐stage least squares, we accounted for potential endogeneity in dental insurer and provider concentration.Principal FindingsAcross the dental procedures we examined, a 10 percent increase in dental insurance concentration is associated with a 1.95 percent (P‐value = .033) reduction in gross payments to dentists. Conversely, a 10 percent increase in dentist concentration is associated with a more modest 0.71 percent (P‐value = .024) increase in gross payments. A 10 percent increase in dental insurance concentration is associated with a 1.16 percentage point (P‐value = .016) decline in the allowed‐to‐list price ratio, while a 10 percent increase in dentist concentration is associated with a 0.56 percentage point (P‐value = .001) increase in the allowed‐to‐list price ratio. Similar patterns were found across dental procedure subcategories.ConclusionsDental provider markets are substantially less concentrated than insurance markets, which may limit the ability of dentists to garner higher reimbursement.

BackgroundNumerous studies have shown that long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) is involved in various human diseases including non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to explore the potential role of lncRNA HCG11 in the pathogenesis of NSCLC.MethodsThe mRNA expression of HCG11, miR‐522‐3p and SOCS5 was detected by RT‐qPCR. The regulatory mechanism of lncRNA HCG11 was investigated by CCK‐8, transwell and dual luciferase reporter assays.ResultsDownregulation of lncRNA HCG11 and upregulation of miR‐522‐3p were found in NSCLC tissues and cells, and abnormal expressions of lncRNA HCG11 and miR‐522‐3p were related to adverse clinical outcomes of NSCLC patients. LncRNA HCG11 acted as a molecular sponge for miR‐522‐3p. Functionally, lncRNA HCG11 inhibited cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC by downregulating miR‐522‐3p. Further, miR‐522‐3p directly targeted SOCS5. lncRNA HCG11 could positively regulate SOCS5 expression in NSCLC. In addition, HCG11 downregulation or miR‐522‐3p overexpression abolished the inhibitory effect of SOCS5 on cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC.ConclusionsLncRNA HCG11 inhibits cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC by functioning as a ceRNA of miR‐522‐3p to upregulate SOCS5.

A 75‐year‐old woman underwent thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy for lung cancer. A histopathological examination showed adenocarcinoma, pT1aN0M0 stage IA1. At six months after surgery, chest computed tomography (CT) revealed pericardial nodules that had not been detected before pulmonary resection. Postoperative CT performed two months later revealed that the nodules were growing and F18 fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography showed a maximum standardized uptake of 9.87. Blood tests revealed no elevated tumor markers, with the exception of a mildly elevated interleukin‐2. Based on the above results, thoracoscopic biopsy was performed due to the suspected recurrence of lung cancer or malignant lymphoma. The histopathological examination of the nodule revealed immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)‐related inflammatory pseudotumor. The serum IgG4 levels were elevated (358 mg/dL, normal: 4.5–117.0 mg/dL). No additional treatment was required because all nodules were observed to have disappeared naturally on a follow‐up CT scan performed two months after the surgical biopsy. The patient has been followed‐up for two years without recurrence.Key pointsSignificant findings of the studyWe report a case of pericardial immunoglobulin G4‐related inflammatory pseudotumor that appeared after right upper lobectomy for lung cancer, and which naturally disappeared without any treatment.What this study addsThere was an immunoglobulin G4‐related inflammatory pseudotumor which appeared as multiple nodules in the pericardial space, and this should be kept in mind when considering the differential diagnosis of intrapericardial nodules.

SummaryMeat‐quality traits play an essential role in meat poultry production. To determine the genetic mechanisms of meat quality in Pekin ducks, we performed a large‐scale GWAS to identify quantitative trait loci affecting meat quality in Pekin ducks. We measured 10 traits in 542 Pekin ducks and genotyped each duck using genotyping‐by‐sequencing. The genetic parameters (genomic heritability, genetic correlation) for 10 meat‐quality related traits were evaluated. Based on the large genotype–phenotype dataset, we performed GWASs for all of these traits. A total of 33 significant QTL (P < 3.03 × 10−5) across 13 chromosomes were identified by loci‐based analysis. Some newly identified candidate genes were discovered for fat‐deposition and meat‐quality traits, including PAG1 for body weight and eviscerated weight, INTU and NUP35 for abdominal fat weight and ratio, NUP3 and ARHGDIB for skin fat weight and ratio, GOLGA5 for breast muscle toughness and breast tenderness, and CTDSPL and PKP1 for breast muscle thickness. The current study is the first systematic report regarding duck meat quality.

Published: August 2020

AbstractPurposePhotoacoustic (PA) imaging has the potential to become a non‐invasive diagnostic tool for giant cell arteritis, as shown in pilot experiments on seven patients undergoing surgery. Here, we present a detailed evaluation of the safety regarding visual function and patient tolerability in healthy subjects, and define the spectral signature in the healthy temporal artery.MethodsPhotoacoustic scanning of the temporal artery was performed in 12 healthy subjects using 59 wavelengths (from 680 nm to 970 nm). Visual function was tested before and after the examination. The subjects’ experience of the examination was rated on a 0–100 VAS scale. Two‐ and three‐dimensional PA images were generated from the spectra obtained from the artery.ResultsPhotoacoustic imaging did not affect the best corrected visual acuity, colour vision (tested with Sahlgren’s Saturation Test or the Ishihara colour vision test) or the visual field. The level of discomfort was low, and only little heat and light sensation were reported. The spectral signature of the artery wall could be clearly differentiated from those of the subcutaneous tissue and skin. Spectral unmixing provided visualization of the chromophore distribution and overall architecture of the artery.ConclusionsPhotoacoustic imaging of the temporal artery is well tolerated and can be performed without any risk to visual function, including the function of the retina and the optic nerve. The spectral signature of the temporal artery is specific, which is promising for future method development.
Judging the social value of controlled human infection studies
Authors: Rid Annette , Roestenberg Meta 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIn controlled human infection (CHI) studies, investigators deliberately infect healthy individuals with pathogens in order to study mechanisms of disease or obtain preliminary efficacy data on investigational vaccines and medicines. CHI studies offer a fast and cost‐effective way of generating new scientific insights, prioritizing investigational products for clinical testing, and reducing the risk that large numbers of people are exposed to ineffective or harmful substances in research or in practice. Yet depending on the pathogen, CHI studies can involve significant risks or burdens for participants, pose risks to individuals or communities not involved in the research, and lead to public controversy. It is therefore essential to ensure that the risks of CHI studies are justified by their social value—that is, their potential to generate benefits for society—and that public trust can be maintained. In this paper, we aim to clarify how research sponsors, research ethics committees and other reviewers should judge the social value of CHI studies. We develop a list of relevant considerations for making social value judgments based on the standard view of social value. We then use this list to discuss the example of potentially conducting dengue virus CHI studies in endemic settings. We argue that dengue virus CHI studies in endemic settings would fall on the higher end of the spectrum of social value, mostly because of their potential to redirect all fields of future dengue research. Drawing on this discussion, we derive several general recommendations for how reviewers should judge the social value of CHI studies.

AbstractImmersive virtual reality (IVR) offers possibilities of creating a learner‐centric environment that can provide more presence and engagement for students leading to an enhanced learning experience compared to conventional classroom practices. However, the potential of IVR in vocational education and training (VET) has not yet been explored in‐depth, and it is an open question of whether it can effectively support learner creation in a designing task. In this paper, we present an IVR application developed to support gardener apprentices in designing gardens. Using this application, we conducted an experimental study with gardener apprentices to investigate the effect of the IVR interface compared to paper sketching and learner behavior on the proportion, composition, and creativity of the design outcome. Additionally, we investigated how it can be combined with a paper sketching activity to improve its effectiveness. Our analysis shows that the IVR interface can be more effective for the proportion aspect, but this may be limited to students that are able to use it after working with paper. In terms of the combination order, the effectiveness of IVR on the design quality was improved when it was carried out after the paper sketching and this ordering produced a more effective outcome for the proportion and composition aspects. Finally, our results show that IVR design quality is related to learner behaviors such as the time spent on designing and the number of simulations used. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of IVR applications in supporting designing skills and how effectiveness can be improved by combining it with a conventional method of practice.
Practitioner NotesWhat is already known about this topic

The effectiveness of IVR has been reported in a variety of educational settings.
IVR enhances learning through situated experience, multiple perspectives, and simulations that transfer to the real world.
Most IVR applications for VET have focused on passive learning or basic procedural skills.
What this paper adds

Design and implementation of an IVR application in VET to support design‐related learning.
The use of IVR may have a significant impact on the quality of design outcomes.
The use of IVR after paper sketching may increase the quality of designs during IVR use.
Implications for practice and/or policy

IVR can enhance the design outcome in terms of the proportion aspect, but this may be limited to students that are able to use it after working with paper.
The design quality can be affected by the combination order between IVR and paper sketching where the effectiveness of IVR can be improved when it is carried out after paper sketching.
The behavior of learners while using IVR can be used as indicators of the design quality.
Divided We Stand? Coalition Dynamics in the German Union Movement
Authors: Behrens Martin , Pekarek Andreas 
Published: August 2020

AbstractCoalitions within national union movements have been an enduring means by which unions pursue shared interests and policy ambitions. Drawing on social movement theory, we focus on the logics shaping union coalitions, and the conditions under which they differ, in order to gain analytical purchase on enduring debates about union behaviour in industrial relations. Taking the German case, we identify four key policy issues that have caused major divisions and competing coalitional activity between unions in the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) over the period 1964 to 2018. Our analysis suggests that there is a degree of fluidity between instrumental and ideological logics, which relates to the evolving socio‐political contexts that shape the dynamics of union coalitions over time. In the German context, our findings indicate that the relative importance of the logics shaping coalition activity varies with the nature of the threats unions encounter. In the face of more specific and immediate threats, coalitional decision‐making was more likely to be driven by instrumental logic, prioritizing the narrower concerns of the union and its core members. However, where unions’ broader social visions came under threat, self‐interest played a more modest role, and choices were more likely to be animated by ideological concerns and questions of public good.

ABSTRACTFive decades ago, a landmark paper in Science titled The Cave Environment heralded caves as ideal natural experimental laboratories in which to develop and address general questions in geology, ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology. Although the ‘caves as laboratory’ paradigm has since been advocated by subterranean biologists, there are few examples of studies that successfully translated their results into general principles. The contemporary era of big data, modelling tools, and revolutionary advances in genetics and (meta)genomics provides an opportunity to revisit unresolved questions and challenges, as well as examine promising new avenues of research in subterranean biology. Accordingly, we have developed a roadmap to guide future research endeavours in subterranean biology by adapting a well‐established methodology of ‘horizon scanning’ to identify the highest priority research questions across six subject areas. Based on the expert opinion of 30 scientists from around the globe with complementary expertise and of different academic ages, we assembled an initial list of 258 fundamental questions concentrating on macroecology and microbial ecology, adaptation, evolution, and conservation. Subsequently, through online surveys, 130 subterranean biologists with various backgrounds assisted us in reducing our list to 50 top‐priority questions. These research questions are broad in scope and ready to be addressed in the next decade. We believe this exercise will stimulate research towards a deeper understanding of subterranean biology and foster hypothesis‐driven studies likely to resonate broadly from the traditional boundaries of this field.
Exchange rate passthrough at the micro and macro levels in a small open economy: Evidence from several million unit values
Authors: Lewis John 
Published: August 2020

AbstractUsing a large dataset of import volumes and values for goods imports from around 50 trading partners, and 3,000 goods types, this paper finds that, at the micro level, passthrough is non‐linear in the exchange rate. Passthrough of larger bilateral exchange rate movements (i.e., greater than 8% year‐on‐year change) is just over 0.8, whereas smaller changes have a passthrough of around 0.3. However, regressions using aggregate data indicate that passthrough at the macro level is much closer to 0.8 than to 0.3. The resolution to this apparent puzzle lies in the fact that larger bilateral movements account for the vast majority of variation in the exchange rate index, and hence the non‐linearity at the micro level largely disappears at the macro level. This suggests the care should be taken in inferring macro implications from micro‐based passthrough estimates, and vice versa.RésuméTransmission des variations de taux de change au niveau microéconomique et macroéconomique dans une petite économie ouverte : étude basée sur plusieurs millions de valeurs unitaires. En s’appuyant sur un vaste ensemble de données relatives aux volumes d’importation, à la valeur des importations de biens de 50 partenaires commerciaux et à 3 000 types de produits, cet article montre que la transmission des variations de taux de change est non‐linéaire au niveau microéconomique. Le coefficient de transmission des mouvements de taux de change bilatéraux les plus importants (supérieurs à 8 % d’une année à l’autre) n’est que légèrement supérieur à 0,8 tandis qu’il avoisine 0,3 pour les mouvements plus faibles. Néanmoins, les régressions réalisées à l’aide de macrodonnées montrent que le coefficient de transmission au niveau macroéconomique est plus proche de 0,8 que de 0,3. La solution à cette énigme réside dans le fait que les mouvements bilatéraux les plus importants représentent l’essentiel de la variation de l’indice de taux de change ; ainsi, la non‐linéarité au niveau microéconomique s’estompe considérablement au niveau macroéconomique. Cela suggère qu’il faudrait tirer les conséquences des implications macroéconomiques découlant des estimations microéconomiques du coefficient de transmission, et inversement.

SummaryBackground and ObjectivePigmented intraepidermal carcinoma is characterized by dermatoscopic dots and structureless areas, including dots in linear arrangement and by coiled vessels. There are no studies describing the dermatoscopic features of pigmented intraepidermal carcinoma on the head and neck. We aim to characterize the clinical and dermatoscopic appearance of this entity.Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 79 cases of pigmented intraepidermal carcinoma on the head and neck.ResultsPigmented intraepidermal carcinoma on the head and neck was characterized dermatoscopically by multiple colors (98.7 %, n = 78), pigmented circles (48.1 %, n = 38), white circles (17.7 %, n = 14), angulated lines (41.8 %, n = 33) and structureless areas (86.1 %, n = 68). Dots in linear arrangement were present in 13.9 % (n = 11). Coiled vessels were present in 7.6 % (n = 6), the dominant vessel type being prominent serpentine vessels (29.2 %, n = 23), thicker and/or redder in color than surrounding vessels, most being in the angular arrangement of the dermal plexus (24.1 %, n = 19).ConclusionsPigmented intraepidermal carcinoma on the head and neck differs from current published descriptions of pigmented intraepidermal carcinoma, reaching statistical significance with a lower incidence of coiled vessels and a higher incidence of pigmented circles, with evident similarities to pigmented actinic keratosis at that location.
