Improving multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) services: frontline worker responses to insecure attachment styles
Authors: Theodorou Nikoletta , Johnsen Sarah , Watts Beth , Burley Adam 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to examine the emotional and cognitive responses of frontline homelessness service support staff to the highly insecure attachment styles (AS) exhibited by people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH), that is, a combination of homelessness and other forms of deep social exclusion.

Design/methodology/approach
Focus groups were conducted with frontline staff (N = 19) in four homelessness support services in Scotland. Hypothetical case vignettes depicting four insecure AS (enmeshed, fearful, withdrawn and angry-dismissive) were used to facilitate discussions. Data is analysed thematically.

Findings
Service users with AS characterised by high anxiety (enmeshed or fearful) often evoked feelings of compassion in staff. Their openness to accepting help led to more effective interactions between staff and service users. However, the high ambivalence and at times overdependence associated with these AS placed staff at risk of study-related stress and exhaustion. Avoidant service users (withdrawn or angry-dismissive) evoked feelings of frustration in staff. Their high need for self-reliance and defensive attitudes were experienced as hostile and dismissing. This often led to job dissatisfaction and acted as a barrier to staff engagement, leaving this group more likely to “fall through the net” of support.

Originality/value
Existing literature describes challenges that support staff encounter when attempting to engage with people experiencing MEH, but provides little insight into the causes or consequences of “difficult” interactions. This study suggests that an attachment-informed approach to care can promote more constructive engagement between staff and service users in the homelessness sector.
Economic theory and social pressure: audit committee director departures in India
Authors: Narayanaswamy R. , Raghunandan K. , Rama Dasaratha V. 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to examine the resignations of Indian audit committee directors after a systemic shock (failure of Satyam Computer Services Ltd.).

Design/methodology/approach
The authors develop the research questions based on interviews with company directors and audit partners, in addition to economic theory. The authors then use archival data to test the research questions.

Findings
The authors find that social and peer pressure is a very important factor in explaining such departures and provides the basis for some counter-intuitive empirical results, for example, directors were less likely to resign from companies audited by Indian affiliates of PricewaterhouseCoopers even though Satyam was audited by one such auditor and ownership by founding families was not associated with director departures.

Research limitations/implications
Going beyond economic theory and analyzes can be useful in examining issues related to corporate boards and audit committees.

Practical implications
Regulators should consider requiring disclosure about director attendance percentages, in addition to the number of meetings, at audit committee – and, perhaps, other board sub-committee – meetings.

Social implications
Caution is warranted when using results from the USA and other Anglo-Saxon countries to address governance-related issues in India or other Asian countries.

Originality/value
A triangulation of economic theory and societal norms enables us to gain valuable insights about the resignations of audit committee directors in India.
The informal culture of a direct care staff team supporting people with intellectual disabilities who present with behaviours that challenge
Authors: Banks Faye , Fielden Amy , O'Sullivan David , Ingham Barry 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
Research into culture within intellectual disability services, has predominantly focussed on small group homes in Australia. The current investigation aimed to explore the transferability of the dimensions of culture identified in the literature, to a residential Intellectual Disability service in the UK. The purpose of this study was to better understand the impact of informal culture upon the behaviour of direct care staff, particularly around managing behaviour that challenges.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with direct care staff. Interview transcripts were analysed thematically using template analysis.

Findings
Themes regarding leadership, perceptions of managers, team functioning, and relationships between direct care staff and service users, were identified, corroborating the existing literature. Additional themes relating to being aware of the risks posed by service users, and the emotional impact of behaviour that challenges, also emerged.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first qualitative study to explore informal culture within a community residential Intellectual Disability service in the UK.
Origin of the Neoproterozoic Baijianshan Banded Iron Formation at the Southeastern Margin of the Tarim Block in NW China: Implication for an Extremely Reducing Ocean
Authors: HAO Xiaoshu , ZHANG Chuanlin , ZHANG Huichao , DING Teng , YE Xiantao 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe Neoproterozoic banded iron formations (BIFs) were closely associated with the “Snowball Earth” during the breakup of the Rodinia, thus they played an important role in our understanding of the atmospheric and oceanic oxygen levels during this period. In this contribution, the Neoproterozoic (ca. 737 Ma) Baijianshan BIF at Southeast Tarim, northwestern China was identified. Magnetite is the dominated iron‐species, which occurs as the lamina interbedded with chert. The BIF contains low concentrations of trace elements, and is depleted in light rare earth elements (LREEs) based on comparison with the Post‐Archean Australian Shale (PAAS). In addition, the BIF exhibits slightly positive La‐Eu anomalies, negligible Ce anomalies, insignificant Y anomalies, chondritic Y/Ho ratios (23–32), and slightly chondritic initial ∊Nd (t = 737 Ma) values (–0.45 to 1.46, averaging 0.37). All these features indicate that the precipitation of Baijianshan BIF was closely related to the submarine low‐T hydrothermal fluids with little detrital contribution. Moreover, the Baijianshan BIF is characterized by the significant enrichment of heavy Fe isotopes, with δ57FeIRMM‐014 values ranging from 1.78‰ to 3.05‰, revealing the partial oxidation of Fe2+ into Fe3+ during the precipitation of this BIF. Our data suggest that the formation of Baijianshan BIF was closely associated with a significantly reducing ocean, which most likely was isolated from the oxidized atmosphere by a local ice sheet. This Neoproterozoic Baijianshan ocean has the initial oxygen levels as low as, or even lower than that of Archean and Paleoproterozoic oceans.
Shale Lithofacies and Sedimentary Environment of the Third Member, Shahejie Formation, Zhanhua Sag, Eastern China

Published: August 2021

AbstractResearches into shale lithofacies, their sedimentary environments and relationship benefit understanding both of sedimentary cycle division and unconventional hydrocarbon exploration in lacustrine basins. Based on a 100∼300‐m‐thick dark shale, mudstone and limestone encountered in the lower third member of the Eocene Shahejie Formation (Es3l member) in Zhanhua Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China, routine core analysis, thin sectioning, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mineralogical and geochemical measurements were used to understand detailed facies characterization and paleoclimate in the member. This Es3l shale sediment includes three sedimentary cycles (C3, C2 and C1), from bottom to top, with complex sedimentary characters and spatial distribution. In terms of the composition, texture, bedding and thickness, six lithofacies are recognized in this succession. Some geochemical parameters, such as trace elements (Sr/Ba, Na/Al, V/Ni, V/(V + Ni), U/Th), carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O, δ13C), and total organic carbon content (TOC) indicate that the shales were deposited in a deep to semi‐deep lake, with the water column being salty, stratified, enclosed and reductive. During cycles C3 and C2 of the middle‐lower sections, the climate was arid, and the water was salty and stratified. Laminated and laminar mudstone–limestone was deposited with moderate organic matter (average TOC 1.8%) and good reservoir quality (average porosity 6.5%), which can be regarded as favorable reservoir. During the C1 cycle, a large amount of organic matter was input from outside the basin and this led to high productivity with a more humid climate. Massive calcareous mudstone was deposited, and this is characterized by high TOC (average 3.6%) and moderate porosity (average 4%), and provides favorable source rocks.
An International Comparison of the Academic Accounting Professoriate*
Authors: Oler Derek K. , Skousen Christopher J. , Smith Kevin R. , Talakai Jayson 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTAn international comparison of the accounting professoriate provides useful information to both key decision makers and individual faculty. We compare characteristics of the academic accounting professoriate in the United States and Canada. Our comparison includes the size of accounting departments (measured by the average number of accounting faculty) and the relative level of research versus teaching focus in accounting departments (proxied by the proportion of tenure‐track vs. non‐tenure‐track faculty). We also examine the relative mobility of accounting faculty (proxied by the number of faculty employed in the same country where they received their final degree vs. the number of faculty employed in a different country). We examine the time it takes for tenure‐track faculty to obtain tenure and the time for tenured associates to become full professors, broken out by obtaining their final degree in the same country where they are employed versus faculty who obtained their final degree in a different country.
Umm an‐Nar settlement pottery from Dahwa 7 (DH7), northern al‐Batinah, Oman

Published: August 2021

AbstractThis research focuses on studying the pottery sherds collected in the period 2018–19 from settlement DH7 in the northern al‐Batinah region in north‐eastern Oman. The material mainly comes from stratified contexts from the largest building at the settlement, building S42, whose function is interpreted as a warehouse. Three main classes of pottery are recognised: The Indus red micaceous ware, the Umm an‐Nar fine red ware and the Dahwa sandy buff ware. Compared with most of the other known Umm an‐Nar settlements, the black‐slipped jars (Indus red micaceous ware) are clearly over‐represented at DH7. Intriguingly, local pottery Dahwa sandy buff ware shows a typical Indus rim form. This is presumably a result of existing Indus potters in the al‐Batinah region who adapted to the local market. Radiocarbon dating places the beginning of the occupation of settlement DH7 to c.2500 cal. BCE. Such a date accords well with the results of stylistic comparisons of DH7 pottery with other sites of the Umm an‐Nar period.

AbstractBackground/ObjectivesNon‐invasive skin imaging features of main skin inflammatory and autoimmune diseases have been reported, although a comprehensive review of their correlation with histopathologic features is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to review the correlation of dermoscopic, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) criteria of main inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases with their corresponding histopathologic criteria correlation.MethodsStudies on human subjects affected by main inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, defining the correlation of dermoscopic, RCM or OCT with histopathologic criteria, were included in the review. Five groups of diseases were identified and described: psoriasiform, spongiotic and interface dermatitis, bullous diseases and scleroderma.ResultsPsoriasiform dermatitis was typified by white scales, corresponding to hyperkeratosis, and vessels, observed with RCM and OCT. Spongiosis, corresponding to dark areas within the epidermis with RCM and OCT, was the main feature of spongiotic dermatitis. Interface dermatitis was characterised by dermoepidermal junction obscuration. Blisters, typical of bullous diseases, were visualised as dark areas with RCM and OCT while scleroderma lesions were characterised by dermoscopic fibrotic beams, related to dermal thickness variations, with specific OCT and histopathologic correlations.ConclusionsAlthough the role of RCM and OCT has yet to be defined in clinical practice, non‐invasive skin imaging shows promising results on inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases, due to the correlation with histopathologic features.

AbstractBackgroundAdult female acne (AFA) may be different from adolescent acne, and may be a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The objective of the study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of AFA, and the factors significantly associated with PCOS in AFA.MethodsAFA patients aged 25 years or older were enrolled. History taking and dermatologic examinations were performed by dermatologists. PCOS was diagnosed by gynaecologists. Perimenopausal acne (aged 45 years or older) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were also evaluated.ResultsAmong 208 patients, mean age was 31.8 ± 7.1 years and 47.1%, 26.9%, and 26% had persistent, late‐onset, and recurrent acne, respectively. The common aggravating factors included pre‐menstruation (72.6%) and stress (53.8%). Recurrent acne was significantly aggravated by cosmetic products. Higher body mass index (BMI) was positively correlated with acne severity. Acne lesions were predominately located on both cheeks (87.0%) and at the perioral area (81.7%). PCOS was identified in 48.1%. Younger age (≥25 to <33 years), premenstrual flare, and irregular menstruation, but not hirsutism or androgenetic alopecia, were associated with PCOS in univariate and multivariate analysis. Perimenopausal acne was identified in 6.7%. The total mean DLQI score was 8.0 ± 5.4 (range from 0 to 23).ConclusionsPersistent acne with moderate severity was common in AFA patients and higher BMI was associated with acne severity. PCOS should be screened in AFA patients with younger age, premenstrual flare, and irregular menstruation.

ABSTRACTBackground and ObjectiveMost melanomas (including melanomas in situ), in Australasia, are treated by general practitioners (GPs). Previously undescribed, the characteristics of a series of melanomas treated by multiple GPs are examined.Patients and MethodsSix hundred and thirty‐seven melanomas treated by 27 Australasian GPs during 2013 and documented on the Skin Cancer Audit Research Database (SCARD) were analysed by anatomical site, subtype, Breslow thickness, diameter, associated naevi and linked adverse outcomes.ResultsMost melanomas (59.7%) were on males, mean age at diagnosis being 62.7 years (range 18–96). Most (65.0%) were in situ, with a high incidence of lentiginous melanoma (LM) (38.8%) and 32% were naevus associated. Most LM (86.4%) were in situ, compared to 55% of superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) (P < 0.0001). There was male predominance on the head, neck and trunk and female predominance on extremities. There was no significant association between Breslow thickness and diameter, with small melanomas as likely to be thick as large melanomas, and melanomas ≤3 mm diameter, on average, more likely to be invasive than larger melanomas. There was a positive correlation between age and both melanoma diameter and Breslow thickness. Seven cases progressed to melanoma‐specific death: Five nodular melanoma (NM) and two SSM, one of which was thin (Breslow thickness 0.5 mm).ConclusionsA large series of melanomas treated by Australasian GPs were predominantly in situ, with a high proportion of LM subtype. With implications for GP training, NM linked to death was over‐represented and there was a novel finding that older patients had larger diameter melanomas.

AbstractWe previously reported low rates of pump thrombosis and hemorrhagic stroke, but increased bleeding, under our original antithrombosis protocol (P1) in HeartWare recipients. We designed and implemented a revised protocol (P2) to reduce complexity and bleeding. Thrombelastography and PFA‐100 guide antiplatelet titration. Goals for P2 were altered to decrease antiplatelet use and anticoagulation intensity. We compared the incidence and rates of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), embolic (eCVA) and hemorrhagic (hCVA) stroke, pump thrombosis (PT), and total bleeding (GIB+hCVA), total thrombosis (eCVA+PT), and total events between P1 and P2. Laboratory and medication data were assessed. Patients with and without hemocompatibility‐related adverse events (HRAEs) were compared. The study included 123 patients (P1: 65; P2: 58). GIB rate decreased (P1: 0.66; P2 0.30 EPPY, P = .003). CVA rates and incidence were statistically similar, although hCVA incidence increased (P1: 3%; P2: 12%, P = .06). Incidence (P1: 3%; P2: 16%, P = .02) and rate (P1: 0.03; P2: 0.12 EPPY, P = .08) of PT increased. Incidence and rate of overall HRAEs and thrombotic events were similar, while bleeding rate decreased (P1: 0.69; P2: 0.40 EPPY, P = .02). Twelve‐month medication burden decreased. Compared to non‐HRAE patients, patients with bleeding HRAEs had more antiplatelet and pentoxifylline use, but less statin use; and lower PFAs. Patients with thrombotic HRAEs had less dual antiplatelet use, lower INRs, R‐times, and PFA‐ADP values. A revised antithrombotic protocol decreased GIB and overall hemorrhagic HRAE rate and medication burden. Unfortunately, PT increased. Non‐HRAE and HRAE patients differed in anticoagulation and antiplatelet intensity. These differences will guide the revision of P2.

Exploring the binding mode of PQ912 against secretory glutaminyl cyclase through systematic exploitation of conformational ensembles
Authors: Chandran Remya , Dileep Kalarickal V. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractSecretory glutaminyl cyclase (sQC) plays an important role in the formation of the pyroglutamate‐amyloid beta (pGlu‐Aβ) peptide, one of the most abundant variants of Aβ found in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. This post‐translationally modified pGlu‐Aβ possesses high toxicity and rapid aggregation propensity when compared to the wild‐type Aβ (WT‐Aβ). Since pGlu‐Aβ acts as seed for WT‐Aβ, the inhibition of sQC limits the formation of pGlu‐Aβ and reduces the overall load of Aβ plaques in the AD brain. PQ912 is a potent inhibitor of sQC and has been enrolled in phase 2b clinical trial of the AD drug development pipeline; however, the binding mode of PQ912 against sQC is not elucidated yet. Understanding the binding mode of PQ912 is important as it helps in the discovery against AD where sQC as a target. To explore the binding mode of PQ912, we employed ensemble docking towards 9 sQC structures that differ either in active site geometry or in the bound ligands. Further pose clustering and binding energy calculations yielded three possible binding modes for PQ912. Finally, all atom molecular dynamics simulations determined the most energetically favorable binding mode for PQ912, in the active site of sQC, which is similar to that of LSB‐09, a recently reported sQC inhibitor containing benzimidazole‐6‐carboxamide moiety.
