Conceptualisation of sustainable consumer behaviour: converging the theory of planned behaviour and consumption cycle
Authors: Sheoran Monika , Kumar Divesh 
Published: October 2021

PurposeThis article attempts to explore the theoretical model and structural dimensions of sustainable consumer behaviour to develop a “sustainable consumer behaviour scale” for sustainable electronic products. Further, this study has tried to elaborate sustainable consumer behaviour by considering the complete consumption cycle which includes purchase, usage and disposal of the sustainable electronic products.Design/methodology/approachThe theory of planned behaviour (TPB) has been employed to understand the multidimensional nature of sustainable consumer behaviour with the help of qualitative and quantitative methods. With the help of a pilot study followed by a main study, a sustainable consumer behaviour scale for sustainable electronic products has been tested and validated for its factor study, reliability, validity and model fit, etc. Moreover, the influence of demographic variables has also been examined with the help of multi-group analysis.FindingsThis study highlights that the perceived control behaviour and subjective norms are the major factors that influence sustainable consumer behaviour. Moreover, the results also indicate that female consumers, mid income consumers, young consumers (age below 30) and consumers who have studied up to senior secondary level are more sustainable.Research limitations/implicationsThe results can be used by policymakers and managers to identify and target particular subjective norms and factors impacting perceived control behaviour along with a specific set of demographics to increase sustainability amongst consumers and businesses. The results of the current study can help in increasing the focus of the academic research towards sustainable consumer behaviour. It will also encourage firms to include sustainable electronic products in their product line.Originality/valueTo the best of authors' knowledge, the current article is the first empirical study to develop a sustainable consumer behaviour scale by including all the different stages of the consumption cycle using TPB for sustainable electronic products. Although multiple efforts have been made by researchers to analyse sustainable consumer behaviour, there is a scarcity in literature in which research has been done to analyse sustainable consumer behaviour by considering the whole consumption cycle (purchase, usage and disposal).
Employee exit and its relationship with multidimensional knowledge retention: the moderating role of organizational structure
Authors: Farooq Rayees 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This study aims to test the relationship between employee exit and knowledge retention. The study also tests the moderating role of organizational structure on the relationship between employee exit and knowledge retention.

Design/methodology/approach
A purposive sample of 310 in India was used. The hypotheses were tested using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), structural equation modeling and moderating analysis using SmartPLS.

Findings
The results showed that employee exit positively affects knowledge retention. Moreover, the organizational structure does not moderate the relationship between employee exit and knowledge retention. Two factors were identified through the EFA, of which knowledge-based systems were found to be the most important, followed by management support.

Originality/value
The study attempts to test the relationship between employee exit and knowledge retention and also develops and validates the multidimensional measure of knowledge retention.
Evolution under low antibiotic concentrations: a risk for the selection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa multidrug‐resistant mutants in nature
Authors: Sanz‐García Fernando , Hernando‐Amado Sara , Martínez José Luis 
Published: October 2021

SummaryAntibiotic pollution of non‐clinical environments might have a relevant impact on human health if resistant pathogens are selected. However, this potential risk is often overlooked, since drug concentrations in nature are usually below their minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Albeit, antibiotic resistant bacteria can be selected even at sub‐MIC concentrations, in a range known as the sub‐MIC selective window. Using short‐term evolution experiments, we have determined the sub‐MIC selective windows of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa for seven antibiotics of clinical relevance, finding the ones of quinolones to be the widest, and the ones of polymyxin B and imipenem, the narrowest. Clinically relevant multidrug‐resistant mutants arose within the sub‐MIC selective windows of most antibiotics tested, being some of these phenotypes mediated by efflux pumps' activity. The fact that the concentration of antibiotics reported in aquatic ecosystems – colonizable by P. aeruginosa – are, in occasions, higher than the ones that select multidrug‐resistant mutants in our assays, has implications for understanding the role of different ecosystems and conditions in the emergence of antibiotic resistance from a One‐Health perspective. Further, it reinforces the importance of procuring accurate information on the sub‐MIC selective windows for drugs of clinical value in pathogens with environmental niches.

Published: October 2021

AbstractBackgroundLung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), one of the main pathological types of lung cancer, has led to consequential socioeconomic burden. Ferroptosis is an iron‐dependent form of cell death process with potentials for therapeutic target in various kinds of tumors. However, whether ferroptosis‐related genes (FRGs) are associated with the prognosis of LUSC patients is still unclear. The aim of this study was to establish a FRGs‐based signature which could stratify patients with LUSC.MethodsThe RNA sequencing profiles and corresponding clinical data of LUSC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. A FRG‐based signature was developed using the TCGA‐LUSC cohort and validated in the GEO cohort. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and analysis of immune cell characteristics were conducted to assess the relationship between FRGs and biological function or immune status. A nomogram based on selected clinical factors and the risk scores which were generated from the FRG‐based signature was developed using the TCGA cohort and validated in the GEO cohort.ResultsA set of 16 FRGs, significantly associated with overall survival (OS) in the TCGA cohort, was identified and could classify LUSC patients into two risk groups. Kaplan–Meier analysis illustrated that the survival rate of the high‐risk group was significantly lower than the low‐risk group. Assessment and external validation of the signature showed that the survival predictive performance of this signature was adequate. Additionally, multiple pathways and functions were enriched through GSEA and the analysis of immune cell characteristics showed significantly different abundances of immune cells among the two risk groups. Finally, a nomogram integrating the FRG‐based signature and selected clinical factors was also developed and assessed in both the TCGA and GEO cohort.ConclusionThis study indicated the association between the FRGs and prognosis of patients with LUSC. Targeting ferroptosis may serve as a novel potential therapeutic alternative for LUSC.
What Was the Point of Equality?
Authors: Bejan Teresa M. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractPolitical theorists often turn to seventeenth‐century England and the Levellers as sources of egalitarian insight. Yet by the time the Levellers were active, the claim that human beings were “equal” by nature was commonplace. Why, in Leveller hands, did a long‐standing piety consistent with social hierarchy became suddenly effectual? Inspired by Elizabeth Anderson, this article explores what equality—and the related concept of parity—meant for the Levellers, and what “the point,” as they saw it, was. I argue that the Levellers’ key achievement was subsuming a highly controversial premise of natural parity within the existing language of natural equality. This suggests that modern basic equality is the product of two, potentially contradictory, principles. This, in turn, has important normative, as well as historical and conceptual, implications for how theorists understand “the point” of equality for egalitarian movements today.
In Mourning: Sociocultural Anthropology in 2020
Authors: Berry Maya J. 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACTThis year‐in‐review article places 2020 sociocultural works within the portal formed by pandemic loss. Moving in the mode of Black feminist praxis, the article stays with wake work (Sharpe) as an analytic to consider articles and born digital media for how they were moved by the situated practices and affects produced through dying from normality and the horizons they summon and grieve. Specifically, Sharpe's formulation of wake work as a labor of vigilant attendance is upheld as a method for how anthropology might mourn the dead while reckoning with Black being in modernity. Prevalent keywords from popular discourse in 2020 organize the article conceptually, putting the force of public debates around “preexisting conditions,” “law and order,” “staying at home,” and being “all in this together” to bear on anthropological analyses of patriarchy, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism. Overwhelmingly, the feelings that shape and are shaped by the violent delineations that make human and nonhuman forms of life more or less risky in capitalist modernity were persistently resurrected across these virtual dialogues. The inability to do anthropology as usual afforded an important moment for pause to consider more deeply the political and material investments at the core of the discipline's raison d’être in 2020. Rather than rush toward a return to normality, the article propounds staying in the wake. Such a labor demands that anthropology feel for how to be relevant to coalitions in the making, not as experts but as fellow processioners through a threshold still becoming. In this mode, the future may be gleaned not only by what we are ready to fight for but also for whom and how we mourn. [sociocultural anthropology, wake work, uprisings, care, pandemic, portal]
Guardians of the forest or evil spirits?
Authors: SCHEER CATHERINE 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACTSince the emergence of a new land law in Cambodia, “indigenous minorities” have recurrently substantiated their rights claims by referring to the powerful spirit‐gods that live in their territories. This appearance of spirits on the official stage can be read as “provincializing” a Euro‐modern ontology that does not take nonhumans seriously as political actors. But when spirits come to be integrated into a politics of recognition, questions arise about the effects that such a politicized ontology might have on those who do not appear to conform to it. This is the case for Protestant Bunong, who have long repudiated local spirit‐gods as evil. During the struggle for their rights, they not only faced Cambodian authorities attempting to delegitimize their claims to qualify as an “indigenous minority,” but also had to reconsider their ways of seeing the world and relating to those who inhabit it.

AbstractBackgroundThe population with diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction is increasing rapidly, but current drugs are not effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Studies of the traditional Chinese medicine extract berberine on diabetes and its complications provide us with new ideas.ObjectivesTo evaluate the therapeutic effect and potential mechanism of berberine on the erectile function of diabetic rats.Materials and methodsFifty male Sprague‐Dawley rats were randomly grouped, and 42 rats were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin to establish a diabetes model. Erectile dysfunction rats were screened out through the apomorphine test and randomly divided into the diabetes mellitus and berberine groups, and these animals were administered berberine (200 mg/kg/day) and normal saline by gavage for 4 weeks. Primary corpus cavernous smooth muscle cells from healthy rats were cultured and treated with berberine.ResultsFasting blood glucose in the diabetes mellitus group was significantly increased, while berberine showed no significant effect on glucose. Erectile function was obviously impaired in the diabetes mellitus group, and berberine administration partially rescued this impairment. The expression of sphingosine kinase 1, S1PR2, and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate in the diabetes mellitus group was increased. Berberine partially inhibited the expression of sphingosine kinase 1 and S1PR2, but the decrease in sphingosine‐1‐phosphate was not significant. Moreover, mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathway factor expression was upregulated and eNOS activity was decreased in the diabetes mellitus group. Berberine treatment could partially reverse these alterations. Severe fibrosis and apoptosis were detected in diabetic rats, accompanied by higher expression of TGFβ1, collagen I/IV, Bax/Bcl‐2, and caspase 3 than in the other groups. However, supplementation with berberine inhibited the expression of these proteins and attenuated fibrosis and apoptosis.ConclusionsBerberine ameliorated erectile dysfunction in rats with diabetes mellitus, possibly by improving endothelial function and inhibiting apoptosis and fibrosis by suppressing the sphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine‐1‐phosphate/S1PR2 and mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathways.
Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery: For a challenging diagnosis, a transthoracic echocardiogram is recommended

Published: October 2021

AbstractAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA), especially the interarterial course of the right or left coronary artery, predisposes paediatric patients to myocardial ischaemia. This rare condition is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. General paediatricians face challenges when diagnosing this anomaly, and they should pay particular attention to the recurrence of exercise‐related syncope without prodromal symptoms, chest pain and dyspnoea. An accurate transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler colour flow mapping is the best method to use to identify AAOCA.ConclusionIdentifying an AAOCA is challenging, and we provide advice on clinical red flags and diagnostic approaches for general paediatricians.

Published: October 2021

AbstractIn this study, infant vocabulary development was tracked in a multilingual society (Singapore) within a socioeconomically diverse sample. The sample comprised 1316 infants from 17.4 to 27.7 months (669 females, 647 males; 88% Chinese race, 4% Malay, 4% Indian, and 0.004% mixed‐race [4% declined to provide race information]). Children varied in English language exposure and socioeconomic status. Analyses focused on identifying demographic predictors of English vocabulary size in multilingually exposed infants. Adaptations of the Macarthur‐Bates Communicative Development Inventory for English, Mandarin, and Malay are provided as well as English vocabulary norms that account for variation in English exposure. This manuscript reports the first set of English language norms—calibrated to English exposure—for multilingual infants in a non‐Western setting.

AbstractRecent studies established that making concurrent judgments of learning (JOLs) can significantly alter (typically enhance) memory itself—a reactivity effect. The current study recruited 190 Chinese children (Mage = 8.68 years; 101 female) in 2020 and 2021 to explore the reactivity effect on children's learning, its developmental trajectory and associated metacognitive awareness. The results showed that making JOLs significantly enhanced retention for students in Grades 1, 3, and 5, with Cohen's ds ranging from 0.40 to 1.33. Grade 5 students exhibited a larger reactivity effect than Grade 1 and 3 students. Children's metacognitive appreciation of the effect was weak. Firsthand experience of the reactivity effect, induced by taking a memory test, enhanced their awareness and calibrated their judgment accuracy.
Influence of CYP2D6 metabolizer status on ondansetron efficacy in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A case series

Published: October 2021

AbstractChemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is commonly experienced by patients receiving antineoplastic agents prior to hemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Ondansetron, a 5‐HT3 antagonist metabolized by CYP2D6, is an antiemetic prescribed to treat short‐term CINV, but some patients still experience uncontrolled nausea and vomiting while taking ondansetron. Adult CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) are at higher risk for CINV due to rapid ondansetron clearance, but similar studies have not been performed in pediatric patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of 128 pediatric HSCT recipients who received ondansetron for CINV prevention and had CYP2D6 genotyping for 20 alleles and duplication detection. The number of emetic episodes for each patient was collected from the start of chemotherapy through 7 days after HSCT. The average age of the cohort was 6.6 years (range: 0.2–16.7) and included three UMs, 72 normal metabolizers, 47 intermediate metabolizers, and six poor metabolizers. Because UMs are the population at risk for inefficacy, we describe the course of treatment for these three patients, as well as the factors influencing emesis: chemotherapy emetogenicity, diagnosis, and duration of ondansetron administration. The cases described support guidelines recommending non‐CYP2D6 metabolized antiemetics (e.g., granisetron) when a patient is a known CYP2D6 UM, but pediatric studies with a larger sample of CYP2D6 UMs are needed to validate our findings.

AbstractLittle information is available about enamel wear caused by zirconia brackets, an inadvertent side effect of orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine potential enamel damage induced by contact with zirconia brackets. Sliding and impact wear simulations were performed using bovine enamel specimens positioned at a 25° slant to a zirconium ball to determine wear behaviour. Different chewing patterns, tapping and grinding, were simulated. Specimens were profiled using confocal laser scanning microscopy, and the mean maximum depth and surface roughness were measured. Scanning electron microscopy was also performed. The mean maximum depth of wear values differed according to the number of mastication cycles, with a higher number of cycles producing higher depths of wear. The facet wear depth was significantly greater with the tapping pattern than with the grinding pattern. Scanning electron microscopic observation of the wear facets revealed that surface textures at the edges were rougher than those at the centre of all facets. The results of this study indicated that enamel wear was induced by contact with zirconia brackets during the early period of mastication, and that the patterns and number of cycles of mastication affected the wear progression of enamel.
