ABSTRACTBackgroundWhereas non‐Helicobacter pylorihelicobacters, which are frequently detected in the stomachs of dogs and cats as a source of zoonoses, have attracted considerable attention, the role of pets inH. pyloriepidemiology is unclear. In our previous study, anH. pyloriinfection was detected in the stomach of a dog (Dog 1). Here, we investigated theH. pyloriinfection status in the female offspring of Dog 1 (Dog 2) and its owner within the same household.Materials and MethodsBiopsy specimens were obtained from the dog's owner and tested forH. pylori. DNA from gastric biopsy samples of Dog 1, gastric fluid sediment of Dog 2, and bacteria from the stomach of the owner was obtained, andHelicobactergenus‐ and species‐specific PCRs were performed. Then, sequence analyses of the partial region of theureABgene were conducted.ResultsSamples from both dogs and the owner reacted positively in the genus‐specific PCR and negative in theHelicobacter felis‐,Helicobacter bizzozeronii‐, andHelicobacter heilmanniisensu stricto‐specific PCRs. All three samples also reacted positively in theH. pylori‐specific PCR. Sequences of the partialureABgene from all subjects were identical.ConclusionsThe results suggested that the two dogs and their owner were infected with an identicalH. pyloristrain. This report is the first to demonstrate thatH. pylorican be transmitted between humans and dogs. Further studies are required to investigate the risk factors for the transmission ofH. pyloribetween humans and dogs from the perspective of preventive epidemiology.

Published: April 2021

AbstractThe use of mobile devices continues to change the in‐store shopping experience and constantly increases curiosity among academics and retailers. However, in spite of the emergence of studies on this topic, the information about the effects of their use is still scattered. The aim of this research is to provide an overview on what is currently known about the effect of the use of mobile devices in‐store on the shopping experience, and describe the most important findings. Furthermore, future research directions are also provided in order to extend the existing knowledge. This systematic literature review has analysed a top‐quality poll of papers, published in the past decade. As a result, it contributes to a better understanding of this focal phenomenon by analysing the different types of use and the value added to the shopping experience. Our framework provides a systematization of these findings.

SummaryTo investigate crude millet bran oil (MBO) and refined millet bran oil (MRO) consumption on lipid metabolism in obese mice, C57BL/6 mice were fed with HFD/MBO and MRO (2 g kg−1 bw per day) for 12 weeks. Both MBO and MRO supplementation effectively alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation, which was associated with downregulation of the expression levels of acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (Acaca), fatty acid synthase (Fasn), perilipin‐2 (Plin2) and stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (Scd). Only MBO supplementation significantly decreased plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), catalase (CAT), hepatic lipid peroxidation and hepatic oxidative stress. It also increased the abundance of Akkermansia. The refining process caused a reduction of bioactive components (phytosterols, tocopherols and pigments) and a decrease in associated health benefits of MBO. Therefore, MBO can be moderately refined and still retain some health benefits, but new refining methods are needed to enhance the content of active compounds and improve the physiological efficacy of MRO.
Effect of in vitro gastro‐pancreatic digestion on antioxidant activity of low‐molecular‐weight (<3.5 kDa) peptides from dry‐cured pork loins with probiotic strains of LAB
Authors: Kęska Paulina , Stadnik Joanna 
Published: April 2021

SummaryThe antioxidant properties of low‐molecular‐weight peptides (<3.5 kDa) obtained from the dry‐cured pork loins inoculated with probiotic and potentially probiotic lactic acid bacterial strains were tested after two‐stage enzymatic hydrolysis under in vitro conditions. The water soluble fraction (WSF) was found to be a better substrate for enzymatic hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes, especially when they were extracted from the meat product after 12 months of ageing. Furthermore, protein hydrolysates extracted from the salt soluble fraction (SSF) exhibited better or similar ABTS free radical scavenging activity and Fe2+‐chelating activity than those extracted from WSF (despite their less quantity). Moreover, both SSF and WSF exhibited weak ferric‐reducing antioxidant activity after two‐step enzymatic hydrolysis (A700 averaged 0.138 for the WSF and 0.088 for the SSF). These results might be useful to the meat‐processing industry in developing innovative and functional meat products.
Occupational segregation of female and male immigrants in Europe: Accounting for cross‐country differences
Authors: PALENCIA‐ESTEBAN Amaia 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis article studies occupational segregation in Europe by gender and immigration status using the European Labour Force Survey for 2005–19. Unlike previous studies, it quantifies levels of segregation separately for female and male immigrants in each country. Overall, male immigrants experience lower occupational segregation than their female counterparts and the second generation is less segregated than the first. Segregation is generally lower in North‐Western Europe and higher in the South‐East. A counterfactual analysis reveals that immigrants' characteristics explain a small part of these cross‐country differences. Institutional setting, integration policies and country‐specific norms might play a major role.

AbstractAimTo assess the efficacy of a commercially available adjunctive phototherapy protocol (“Perio‐1”) in treatment of periodontitis.Materials and MethodsIn an examiner‐blind, randomized, controlled, split‐mouth, multicentre study, 60 periodontitis patients received root surface debridement (RSD) in sextants either alone (control sextants) or with the adjunctive phototherapy protocol (test sextants). Re‐evaluation was performed at 6, 12 and 24 weeks.ResultsNo statistically significant differences in mean (± standard deviation) clinical attachment level (CAL) change from baseline to week 24 were observed between test (−1.00 ± 1.16 mm) and control sextants (−0.87 ± 0.79 mm) at sites with probing pocket depths (PPDs) ≥5 mm (“deep sites”) at baseline (p = .212). Comparisons between test and control sextants for all other parameters (CAL change at all sites, PPD change at deep sites/all sites, bleeding on probing, plaque scores), and for all change intervals, failed to identify any statistically significant differences.ConclusionsThe phototherapy protocol did not provide any additional clinical benefits over those achieved by RSD alone.

AbstractAimTo report the 36‐month follow‐up of a trial comparing the adjunct of a xenogenic collagen matrix (CMX) or connective tissue graft (CTG) to coronally advanced flaps (CAF) for coverage of multiple adjacent recessions.Material and methods125 subjects (61 CMX) with 307 recessions in 8 centres from the parent trial were followed‐up for 36 months. Primary outcome was change in position of the gingival margin. Multilevel analysis used centre, subject and tooth as levels and baseline parameters as covariates.ResultsNo differences were observed between the randomized and the follow‐up population. Average baseline recession was 2.6 ± 1.0 mm. 3‐year root coverage was 1.5 ± 1.5 mm for CMX and 2.0 ± 1.0 mm for CTG (difference of 0.32 mm, 95% CI from −0.02 to 0.65 mm). The upper limit of the confidence interval was over the non‐inferiority margin of 0.25 mm. No treatment differences in position of the gingival margin were observed between 6‐ and 36‐month follow‐up (difference 0.06 mm, 95% CI −0.17 to 0.29 mm).ConclusionCMX was not non‐inferior with respect to CTG in multiple adjacent recessions. No differences in stability of root coverage were observed between groups and in changes from 6 to 36 months. Previously reported shorter time to recovery, lower morbidity and more natural appearance of tissue texture and contour observed for CMX in this trial are also relevant in clinical decision‐making.
Is life cycle assessment enough to address unintended side effects from Circular Economy initiatives?

Published: April 2021

AbstractDespite the spread of policy and business initiatives aiming at transitioning to a Circular Economy (CE), the concept is criticized in the scientific literature for its lack of emphasis on social contexts. Implementing CE initiatives to production systems can indeed lead to “unintended side effects,” that is, both rebound effects and other indirect shifts in consumption patterns. In this forum article we address the question: “How to make the unintended side effects of implementing CE initiatives knowable and actionable?” We argue that the ability of life cycle assessment (LCA) to address unintended side effects from CE initiatives is limited, as LCA can model how different product systems interact with each other, but does not attend to the socio‐technical dynamics taking place within and across different life cycle phases. To extend the potential of LCA in supporting decision‐making, our suggestion is to complement LCA with other types of analytical approaches, such as Practice Theory (PT) and Actor‐Network Theory (ANT), which can improve our understanding of the unintended side effects of CE initiatives. These theories consider societal dynamics as socio‐technical and focus on the processes and practices through which production and consumption dynamics change. Thus, they can provide analyses of whether and how CE initiatives are capable of realizing novel relations within/among socio‐technical systems. Ultimately, they can provide explanations on why things end up the way they do, thus supporting LCA in the investigation of more "real" rather than ideal scenarios.

Description and evolution of the larynx of thePhysalaemus olfersiispecies group, with remarks on the laryngeal anatomy of theP. cuviericlade (Amphibia: Anura: Leiuperinae)
Authors: de La Vega Bernardo , Pombal José P. , Hepp Fábio 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThe anuran larynx is an organ of great evolutionary interest because it impacts male reproductive success in courtships. However, little is known about the diversity of the larynx's anatomy, evolutionary history and systematics importance. Here, we describe and compare the anatomy of the larynx of 10Physalaemusspecies of theP.cuviericlade, focusing on theP.olfersiispecies group. We also reconstructed the ancestral states and tested the phylogenetic signal for the anatomical features. In all the species, the larynx has a general globular shape with the arytenoid cartilages covering almost its entire dorsal surface, while the anterior process of the cricoid cartilages covers most of the ventral surface. The size of the secondary fibrous mass, the thickness of the vocal membrane, and the attachment position of the vocal membrane's free edge considerably differ among the species. Moreover, only four species of a single clade in theP.olfersiispecies group have the primary fibrous mass well‐developed with a suspended region in the dorsolateral passage. We found a significant phylogenetic signal for all these characters. Ancestral reconstructions pointed to reduction tendencies in the thickness of the vocal membrane and the size of the secondary fibrous mass, and a shift of the ventral attachment of the vocal membrane, increasing the angle of its free edge along the phylogeny. This latter trait can diagnose the entirePhysalaemus olfersiigroup, which has the ventral ends of the arytenoids positioned posteriorly, giving this group the steepest angles for the vocal membrane's free edge in relation to the frontal plane. Based on our results, the larynges can contribute to thePhysalaemus olfersiispecies group's systematics and could be elucidative to understand the evolution of the genus. High levels of anatomical and bioacoustical complexity and diversity observed in the group support the expected correlation between vocal anatomy and bioacoustical signal.
Quality of life in young men with androgenetic alopecia: A mixed methods study
Authors: Razum Josip , Vukasović Hlupić Tena 
Published: April 2021

AbstractBackgroundAndrogenetic alopecia (AGA) is related to adverse psychological consequences in young men, which is further accentuated by the astronomical growth of the hair transplant industry. However, a deeper insight into AGA and its impact on young men are lacking in the literature. Moreover, its impact is currently measured with general dermatological health‐related quality of life questionnaires.AimsAim of this study was hence twofold: (i) to explore the individual experience of men with AGA via a qualitative study and (ii) to use these insights to create and preliminary validate a set of items for measuring quality of life specifically in AGA.Patients/MethodsThe qualitative study was carried out on a convenience sample of 11 young men in different stages of AGA. In the quantitative study, items for measuring quality of life in androgenetic alopecia were created and distributed to an online sample of men younger than 35 (N = 129).ResultsMultiple themes and sub‐themes were obtained in the qualitative study, highlighting the loss of control, lowered attractiveness, concerns about dating, and an influence on daily functioning the young men felt. In the quantitative study, nine items were retained, demonstrating high reliability, and moderate correlations with self‐esteem and subjective well‐being.ConclusionsAGA is a valid issue, which has a marked impact on young men. We believe that further developing and validating a tool that would measure quality of life specifically in AGA, or generally in different alopecia types, is an approach worth taking.

AbstractAimIn 2010, the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG) changed the diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to follow the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria. As a result, many pregnant women with mildly impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were newly diagnosed with GDM. This study aimed to verify the effects of interventions in pregnant women with mild IGT who were newly diagnosed with GDM based on the present JSOG criteria.MethodsWe defined mild IGT as a degree of IGT that would be diagnosed as GDM according to the present but not the previous JSOG criteria. We compared pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with mild IGT who delivered a singleton at 22 weeks of gestation or later, between 2000 and 2009 (untreated group, n = 503) versus between 2011 and 2017 (treated group, n = 781).ResultsThe incidence of GDM‐related composite complications such as macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome was comparable in the untreated and treated groups (10.1% vs. 11.9%, p = 0.11). The pregnancy outcomes were also comparable, except for infant birth weights, which were lower in the treated group than in the untreated group (3014 g vs. 3094 g; p = 0.02).ConclusionsPregnancy outcomes were not affected by the interventions in pregnant women with mild IGT.
International Management as Management of Diversity: Reconceptualizing Distance as Diversity
Authors: Lumineau Fabrice , Hanisch Marvin , Wurtz Olivier 
Published: April 2021

AbstractDespite the importance of distance in international business and management research, the theoretical foundation for the concept and the underlying causal mechanisms are subject to shortcomings. We propose reinvigorating the study of distance through a diversity lens. We draw on research on diversity and develop a theoretical framework that distinguishes types of diversity (separation, variety, and disparity) at three levels (institutional, organizational, and individual). We show how this framework allows scholars to extend their analysis of distance, revisit important questions, and explore new issues. We discuss the theoretical and empirical implications of our diversity lens for the international business and management community.

ABSTRACTBackground and PurposeAlthough ophthalmic complaints were mostly mentioned in thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), emotional and psychological disturbances are increasingly concerned. We aimed to investigate the brain functional alteration in TAO patients by using resting‐state functional MRI (rs‐fMRI) with the fractional amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuation (fALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and degree centrality (DC) methods.MethodsTwenty‐one consecutive TAO patients and 21 healthy controls (HCs) underwent rs‐fMRI scans. The fALFF, ReHo, and DC values were compared between groups.ResultsCompared with HCs, TAO group showed decreased fALFF values in bilateral calcarine/left lingual gyrus and left middle occipital gyrus (MOG). Moreover, TAO group had decreased ReHo values in left MOG/inferior occipital gyrus/fusiform gyrus, while increased ReHo values in bilateral middle frontal gyrus (MFG)/superior frontal gyrus (SFG) than HCs. TAO group also showed decreased DC values in bilateral postcentral gyrus (PoCG)/precentral gyrus/superior parietal lobule and supplementary motor area, and increased DC values in left SFG/MFG and MFG. In TAO patients, ReHo value in left MOG was positively correlated with visual acuity (r = 0.524, p = 0.021), while ReHo values in bilateral MFGs were negatively correlated with cognitive scores (left/right: r = –0.476/–0.527, p = 0.039/0.020). DC value in left PoCG was negatively correlated with disease duration (r = –0.492, p = 0.033).ConclusionsOur findings indicated that TAO patients had brain functional alterations in the visual network, executive control network, sensorimotor network, and attention network, which may reflect potential visual and cognitive dysfunctions.
Where do women earn more than men? Explaining regional differences in the gender pay gap
Authors: Fuchs Michaela , Rossen Anja , Weyh Antje , Wydra‐Somaggio Gabriele 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis paper provides new evidence on the magnitude and determinants of regional differences in the gender pay gap. On the basis of a comprehensive data set of all full‐time employees in Germany, we explain the profound variation of the gender pay gap at a small‐scale level with theory‐based individual and job‐related characteristics. Using the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition, we find pronounced spatial differences in the impact of the considered determinants. Whereas gender differences in job‐related characteristics are important drivers in regions with a high gender pay gap, individual characteristics come into effect in regions with a low and negative gap. The results underscore the role played by the establishment composition in a region and the kind of jobs provided for gendered earnings.
A phylogenomic perspective on gene tree conflict and character evolution in Caprifoliaceae using target enrichment data, with Zabelioideae recognized as a new subfamily

Published: April 2021

AbstractThe use of diverse data sets in phylogenetic studies aiming for understanding evolutionary histories of species can yield conflicting inference. Phylogenetic conflicts observed in animal and plant systems have often been explained by hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), or horizontal gene transfer. Here, we used target enrichment data, species tree, and species network approaches to infer the backbone phylogeny of the family Caprifoliaceae, while distinguishing among sources of incongruence. We used 713 nuclear loci and 46 complete plastome sequence data from 43 samples representing 38 species from all major clades to reconstruct the phylogeny of the family using concatenation and coalescence approaches. We found significant nuclear gene tree conflict as well as cytonuclear discordance. Additionally, coalescent simulations and phylogenetic species network analyses suggested putative ancient hybridization among subfamilies of Caprifoliaceae, which seems to be the main source of phylogenetic discordance. Ancestral state reconstruction of six morphological characters revealed some homoplasy for each character examined. By dating the branching events, we inferred the origin of Caprifoliaceae at approximately 66.65 Ma in the late Cretaceous. By integrating evidence from molecular phylogeny, divergence times, and morphology, we here recognize Zabelioideae as a new subfamily in Caprifoliaceae. This work shows the necessity of using a combination of multiple approaches to identify the sources of gene tree discordance. Our study also highlights the importance of using data from both nuclear and plastid genomes to reconstruct deep and shallow phylogenies of plants.
