AbstractIntroductionJob burnout is an occupational psychological syndrome with a high prevalence among nurses in China. Hemodialysis (HD) nursing work has the characteristics of high intensity, high technical content, and high risk. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and level of job burnout among HD nurses in China and explore the potential factors associated with burnout among HD nurses.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study in 2019. Survey data were collected from 2738 HD centers in mainland China. Job burnout was measured by the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The working atmosphere, interpersonal relationships with colleagues, and intention to leave were each assessed by a single question respectively. Multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling were used for the analysis.FindingsA total of 10,570 surveys were collected. A total of 1199 (11.34%) HD nurses reported a high level of emotional exhaustion, 782 (7.40%) reported a high level of depersonalization, and 6767 (64.02%) reported a low level of personal accomplishment. Job burnout in the Northeastern region of mainland China was higher than that in other regions (p < 0.05). The working atmosphere, interpersonal relationships, region, hospital level, educational level, career planning, age, and number of children were significantly associated with burnout among HD nurses (p < 0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.313). The working environment, individual factors, and specialist nurse training were significantly associated with HD nurse burnout and intention to leave (comparative fit index = 0.907; goodness of fit index = 0.930; root mean square error of approximation = 0.055).DiscussionThere were notable regional differences in the burnout of HD nurses. This study contributes to the knowledge of the possible relationship of job burnout and intention to leave in HD nurses. It is suggested that improving the working atmosphere or interpersonal relationships and providing more training opportunities can alleviate job burnout in HD nurses.
Creating shared value: A systematic review, synthesis and integrative perspective
Authors: Menghwar Prem Sagar , Daood Antonio 
Published: March 2021

AbstractCreating shared value (CSV) refers to a strategic process through which corporations can turn social problems into business opportunities. CSV's strategic approach in solving societal problems and its close relationship with strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder theory have kept the concept in the spotlight in both the corporate and academic worlds. As a result, the literature on CSV is riddled with ambiguities, weak theoretical foundations and contradictions. To better understand and address these ambiguities, we conducted a systematic literature review of 242 articles published from 2010 to 2020. We begin with a comprehensive review of the field and develop a definition of CSV that distinguishes it from related concepts. Our review and analysis reveal, firstly, that CSV is a meaningful, incremental addition in the extant literature and not a revolutionary concept, nor a buzzword. Secondly, assuming that firms are rational, a firm's decision function when it comes to adopting a CSV strategy depends on opportunity costs and transaction costs. Thirdly, there is no single universal way to create shared value: multiple external and internal factors influence a firm's ability to pursue a CSV strategy effectively. Our discussion delineates the key differences between scholars of strategy and scholars of business ethics, and directs avenues for more constructive research. We also believe that this study will act as a guide for managers in adapting to CSV strategies, helping corporations adopt society‐friendly policies.

AbstractBackgroundWeight control is a widespread phenomenon among young adults, especially in women.AimThis study aimed to determine the prediction factors of weight control intention in a young Chinese sample.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted with 963 (276 male and 687 female; mean age 21.8 ± 4.4 years) adult students from a university in Taiwan. The data were collected from October 2016 to January 2017. Body mass index (BMI), the Chinese version of the Weight Self‐Stigma Questionnaire, the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale and the Media Influence Questionnaire were used as data collection instruments.ResultsThe participants with weight control intention had higher BMI, weight self‐stigma and media influence scores and lower body satisfaction scores than those without the intention. Female sex, BMI, weight self‐stigma, body satisfaction and media influence were significant predictors of weight control intention for all participants.ConclusionBefore conducting weight loss programmes, the perception of weight self‐stigma and the influence of social media on body image should be confirmed, particularly in women with intention to lose weight.

AbstractEmployment is a key aspect of resettlement, and research has shown that it is highly valued by people with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. However, less is known about the employment experiences and programmes available specifically to women from these backgrounds. This commentary paper draws upon three data sources – the Building a New Life in Australia longitudinal survey, a desktop review of employment programmes and interviews with service providers – to explore these issues for women with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds in Australia. Specifically, we discuss the relatively poor record of employment for refugee women compared to men, and highlight the limitations of current employment programmes, in particular, the lack of available programmes specifically targeted to women. We conclude that there is an urgent need to consider specific ways to support women with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds to enter the workforce in Australia.

AbstractAimTo explore how people with heart failure develop and change their views of dying and death.DesignA Straussian grounded theory approach.MethodsPurposive and theoretical sampling were used. Data collection and analysis were repeated until reaching data saturation using the constant comparative method. We conducted semi‐structured interviews between January 2019 and July 2020 with 24 people with heart failure from a university and a community hospital in Japan.ResultsInitially, participants’ views of dying and death were unrelated to their disease. After the first turning point, namely the confirmation of the deterioration and incurability of the disease, their views became related to their own disease, adding to the suffering caused by the exacerbated symptoms. After the second turning point, namely when participants became tormented by the inevitability of death, they added their struggles with physical, psychological, and spiritual pain owing to medical interventions to their views of dying and death. Only a few participants reached the last stage of this process as it was emotionally distressing; some chose not to proceed to the next stage.ConclusionParticipants develop their views of dying and death gradually and in stages while they experience two turning points. Healthcare providers need to address this process while keeping in mind that proceeding this process requires some turning points, and it can be painful.ImpactThis study provides a theoretical framework on the development of the views regarding dying and death of people with heart failure; it showed that these people need some turning points and to pass through stages to develop/individualize their views, and that this process is inherently distressing. This theory provides a cornerstone for healthcare professionals to understand the disease‐specific transition in views of dying and psychological readiness, and it may help establish a therapeutic relationship that includes advance care planning.

AbstractThe eucalyptus weevil, Gonipterus spp. Schoenherr, 1833 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is considered a major pest of eucalyptus plantations. In regions where control is achieved, success is usually brought by the action of the solitary egg parasitoid Anaphes nitens (Girault, 1928) (Hymenoptera, Mymaridae). Research was conducted to ascertain which cues might mediate female wasp host location and selection. In Petri dish arenas, females were attracted to Gonipterus platensis Marelli, 1927 egg capsules, to G. platensis mated female faeces and to leaves of Eucalyptus globulus Labillardière, 1799. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry electroantennographic detection analysis was conducted using extracts obtained from leaves of E. globulus, from G. platensis egg capsules, as well as from adults of both sexes and their faeces, in order to detect and identify compounds perceived by the wasp's olfactory system. The parasitoids were shown to detect a wide range of compounds emitted by each one of these sources, and for 31 compounds, antennal response was confirmed by dose‐response tests. Further behavioural trials were conducted in Petri dishes in order to decode the effect, on parasitoid behaviour, of selected compounds emitted by E. globulus and of the pheromones, emitted by the weevils on parasitoid behaviour. Attraction was observed to two compounds emitted by E. globulus, namely 1,8‐cineole and γ‐terpinene, and to the main component of the male sex/aggregation pheromone, cis‐verbenol. To our knowledge, this is the first report of attraction of a parasitoid from the family Mymaridae to a component of its host's sexual/aggregation pheromone. Similarly, to other egg parasitoid species, A. nitens females are likely to use the host plant volatiles as long‐range host location cues and to adopt the ‘infochemical detour’ strategy in order to get in the vicinity of their hosts.
Pyridine Nucleotide‐Linked Lactate Dehydrogenase of Tetrahymena: Evidence for D‐ and L‐Enzymes in the Mitochondria
Authors: Stearns Frank M. , Eichel Herbert J. 
Published: March 2021

AbstractAn NAD‐linked lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in a crude mitochondrial fraction obtained from Tetrahymena homogenates was previously reported by this laboratory. This fraction contains the NADH and succinate oxidase system as well as the mitochondrial cytochromes and carries out oxidative phosphorylation. The preparation catalyzes the oxidation of D‐ and L‐lactate linked only to certain analogs of NAD; it has not been possible to demonstrate NAD‐dependent D‐ or L‐lactate oxidation nor is there any evidence that either of these enzymes is a flavoprotein as indicated by their inability to reduce directly certain artificial electron acceptors. A lactate racemase is not present.

AbstractAimThe new coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) pandemic has laid unprecedented stress on healthcare workers and especially nurses. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance among nurses in Oman during the COVID‐19 pandemic, and to explore the contributing factors.MethodsA cross‐sectional and descriptive correlational design using Qualtrics® software was performed. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale.ResultsOf the 1,130 nurses who participated, 75.6% (n = 854) reported stress, 44.2% (n = 499) reported anxiety, 38.5% (n = 435) reported depression and 73.7% (n = 833) reported poor sleep. Stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance (p < .05) were significantly associated with age, marital status, comorbidity and whether family members or relatives were suspected or confirmed with COVID‐19. The stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance were significantly positively corelated with each other. Logistic regression showed nurses in the age group between 18 and 30, who worked at the frontline, were at a higher risk of stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance.ConclusionsStress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance are significant problems for nurses working in Oman during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Appropriate interventions to monitor and reduce psychological problems and sleep disturbance among nurses are needed, which can help to support nurses’ work during contagious disease outbreaks.

AbstractBackgroundPlatelet rich plasma (PRP) has been accepted as a potential therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA).ObjectiveTo fully clarify the underling molecular mechanisms of PRP action on hair growth and promote its clinical applications.MethodsIn this study, we used mice models and protein biochip to explore the specific mechanisms of PRP regulating hair growth. Then, we performed a randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind, half‐head study of 52 AGA patients to verify the therapeutic efficacy of PRP in Chinese AGA patients.ResultsThe results confirmed that PRP treatment boosted hair regrowth, accelerated hair cycling, and the effect sustained for more than one hair cycle in mice. Protein biochip evaluation confirmed remarkably upregulated β‐Catenin, PDGF, and AKT signaling and repressed p53 signaling in PRP injection group. Clinically, mean hair count, density, diameter, and anagen hair ratio in PRP group showed a significant improvement at 6 month comparing to control side.ConclusionsOverall, we elucidated the specific molecular mechanism of PRP action on hair growth and proved the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PRP in Chinese AGA patients.
Rock magnetism of ejected basaltic boulders from Lonar crater, India: Implications for the existence of a short‐lived impact‐generated weak magnetic field
Authors: Arif M. , Misra Saumitra 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThe continuous ejecta deposit around the rim of Lonar impact crater, central India, contains angular basaltic boulders of size ≤5 m. These boulders experienced varying level of shock between 2–30 GPa due to impact, as indicated by the extreme fracturing of these basaltic boulders, fragmentation of plagioclase and titanomagnetite constituents of these ejected boulders, and the presence of maskelynite in them. We measure some rock magnetic properties, e.g., NRM/χ (natural remanent magnetization [NRM]/bulk magnetic susceptibility [χ]), REM (=NRM/saturation isothermal remanent magnetization [SIRM] ratio expressed in %), and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) on 53 subsamples from 18 oriented drill cores of the shocked ejected basaltic boulders from the eastern half of ejecta deposit in the present study. The measured data are similar in many respects to our previous observations on Lonar crater rim shocked basalts (Arif et al. 2012b). For example, a small population of the ejected basaltic boulder samples show very high NRM/χ (between 378 and 989 Am−1; n = 7) and REM (between 1.5 and 7%; n = 4) and the AMS axes of these ejected basaltic boulders show triaxial distributions in stereographic projections. Moreover, some of the ejected basaltic boulders show higher values of squareness ratio (Mrs/Ms) and median destructive field (MDF) suggesting permanent changes in the intrinsic magnetic properties due to impact shock pressure. In stereographic plot, the high coercivity and high temperature (HC_HT) magnetization component of these ejected basaltic boulders are distributed in discrete clusters on the periphery of a small enveloping circle whose center (D = 108.0°, I = +69.2°) lies close to the HC_HT cluster of the crater rim shocked basalts. The center of this enveloping circle and the average HC_HT component of Lonar crater rim shocked basalts have the same statistical orientation, although the former has steeper dip. This distribution suggests the possibility that the ejected basaltic boulders, which were deposited during the modification stage of Lonar crater evolution, were magnetized in an impact‐induced magnetic field that was rapidly decaying just after the impact. Our present study suggests that the ejected basaltic boulders and Lonar crater rim shocked basalts experienced high shock pressure (≥2 GPa) magnetization during impact.

ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to use a gelatin sponge impregnated with dexamethasone, combined with minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS‐TLIF) and no drainage tube after the operation for early postoperative recurrence of root pain caused by edema.MethodsA prospective case series study was designed. From September 2015 to January 2018, eligible patients diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disease underwent MIS‐TLIF combined with a gelatin sponge impregnated with dexamethasone and no drainage tube after surgery. The short‐term clinical data were collected, such as visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back pain and leg pain preoperatively and on postoperative days (POD) 1–10, time bedridden postoperatively, and length of hospital stay postoperatively. Long‐term indicators include the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, and the 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36) score, evaluated preoperatively and 1 week, 3 months, and more than 1 year postoperatively.ResultsComplete clinical data was obtained for 139 patients. All patients were followed up for more than 12 months (13.7 ± 3.3 months). The average bedridden period was 1.5 ± 0.4 days and hospital stays were 2.7 ± 0.9 days. The VAS score of leg and back pain on POD 1–10 were all decreased compared with preoperation (all P < 0.0001). At the last follow up, the VAS scores for back pain and leg pain (0.69 ± 0.47; 1.02 ± 0.55) and the ODI score (11.1 ± 3.5) decreased (all P < 0.0001), and the JOA score (27.1 ± 3.2) and the SF‐36 (physical component summary, 50.5 ± 7.3; mental component summary, 49.4 ± 8.9) increased (all P < 0.0001) compared with preoperative values. Patients' early and long‐term levels of satisfaction postoperatively were 92.8% and 97.8%, respectively. At POD 7 and the last follow‐up, the improvement rate of the JOA score, respectively, was 41.8% ± 10.6% and 87.7% ± 8.2%, and clinical effects assessed as significantly effective according to the improvement rate of the JOA score was 16.5% and 66.9%, respectively. There were 2 (1.4%) cases with complications, including 1 (0.7%) case of wound infection and 1 (0.7%) case of deep vein thrombosis. There were no device‐related complications or neurological injuries.ConclusionUse of a gelatin sponge impregnated with dexamethasone combined with MIS‐TLIF and no drainage tube after the operation, compared with previous studies, appears to be safe and feasible to reduce recurrent back pain and leg pain after decompression in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.
‘The bang was not as loud as I had expected’
Authors: Simchen Ori 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIn 442 of Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein criticises the application of Russell's theory of descriptions to the sentence in the title without mentioning Russell or his theory. Wittgenstein is making a general point of wider interest. I have two aims. The first is to situate Wittgenstein's critique within the larger theoretical setting of Russell's theory of descriptions and Frege's theory of indirect reference in light of the familiar problem of quantifying into attitude contexts. The second is to draw broader methodological implications from the foregoing for how best to think of the role of individual semantic paraphrases within the formal semantic study of natural language.

AbstractNitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, and the relationship between leaf N content and photosynthesis has been widely studied in different species under steady‐state light. However, under natural conditions, the light intensity at the leaf level is always changing, inherently heterogeneous in time and space. Therefore, the effect of leaf N content on photosynthesis under dynamic light conditions needs further study. At present, the effects of leaf N content on leaf non‐steady‐state photosynthesis have not been reported in canola (Brassica napus L.). To clarify the relationship between leaf N content and the speed of the response leaf gas exchange to variations in light intensity, eight genotypes of canola varying in leaf N content were used to study the temporal response of gas exchange to a step increase in irradiance. We found there were significant differences in non‐steady‐state photosynthesis, physiological characteristics, and anatomical traits across genotypes (the maximum amplitude was about fivefold), despite the lack of contrast under normal, steady‐state photosynthesis. In addition, initial stomatal conductance to water vapor in the darkness and leaf N content per leaf area were negatively correlated with the time required to achieve 50% and 100% of the maximum photosynthetic rate. Contrarily, the time required to reach 50% of the maximum stomatal conductance was positively correlated with the time required to achieve 90% of the maximum photosynthetic rate across genotypes. It is concluded that the genotypes of canola with higher N content per leaf area show a faster induction of photosynthesis to fluctuating light conditions.
