A study of interdisciplinary accounting research: analysing the diversity of cited references
Authors: Xu Lina , Dellaportas Steven , Wang Jin 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis study investigates the degree of disciplinary diversity among the reference lists of articles published between 1990 and 2019 in three leading interdisciplinary accounting research journals. The results reveal that the cited references are not a homogeneous field but based on a diverse set of disciplines consisting mostly of business, sociology, economics and psychology. Further analysis of a subset of the data finds that the level of citations is negatively associated with measures of diversity, suggesting that scholars are active in widening the spread of cited disciplines but are not rewarded in terms of citations.

Published: September 2021

AbstractMalignant atrophic papulosis (Degos disease) is a rare syndrome of multiple‐system vascular diseases with unknown etiology. It can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Here, we report a 58‐year‐old woman with extensive porcelain‐white atrophic papules. Based on the clinical manifestations, skin biopsy and colonoscopy, a diagnosis of malignant atrophic papulosis was confirmed.

Authors: Tang Hongsi , Song Rujiao , Hu Yueyan , Tian Yixin , Lu Zhonghua , Chen Lin , Huang Yan 
Published: September 2021

Topological property (TP) is a basic geometric attribute of objects, which is preserved over continuous and one‐to‐one transformations and considered to be processed in early vision. This study investigated the global TP perception of 773 children aged 6–14, as compared to 179 adults. The results revealed that adults and children aged 10 or over show a TP priority trend in both central and peripheral vision, that is, less time is required to discriminate TP differences than non‐TP differences. Children aged 6–8 show a TP priority trend for central stimuli, but not in their peripheral vision. The TP priority effect in peripheral vision does not emerge until age ˜10 years, and the development of central and peripheral vision seems to be different.

Published: September 2021

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of 150 mg once monthly oral risedronate use in the prevention of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) associated bone loss. Twenty‐four SG patients (56 ± 7 years, 83% female, 21% black) were randomized to risedronate or placebo for 6 months, with an optional 12‐month assessment. Outcome measures included 6 (n = 21) and 12 (n = 14) month change in dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry‐acquired regional areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Six‐month treatment effect estimates [mean (95% CI)] revealed significant between group aBMD differences at the femoral neck [risedronate: +0.013 g/cm2 (−0.021, 0.046) vs. placebo: −0.041 g/cm2 (−0.067, −0.015)] and lumbar spine [risedronate: +0.028 g/cm2 (−0.006, 0.063) vs. placebo: −0.029 g/cm2 (−0.054, −0.004)]; both p ≤ 0.02. When followed postoperatively to 12 months, differential aBMD treatment effects were observed at the total hip [risedronate: −0.035 g/cm2 (−0.061, −0.009) vs. placebo: −0.072 g/cm2 (−0.091, −0.052)] and lumbar spine [risedronate: +0.012 g/cm2 (−0.038, 0.063) vs. placebo: −0.052 g/cm2 (−0.087, −0.017)]; both p < 0.05. Preliminary treatment effect estimates signal 6 months of risedronate use may be efficacious in reducing aBMD loss at the axial skeleton post‐SG, with benefit largely maintained throughout the 1‐year postoperative period. Confirmatory data from an adequately powered trial are needed.

Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectivesChondrocyte ferroptosis contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) progression, and D‐mannose shows therapeutic value in many inflammatory conditions. Here, we investigated whether D‐mannose interferes in chondrocyte ferroptotic cell death during osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration.Materials and methodsIn vivo anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)‐induced OA mouse model and an in vitro study of chondrocytes in an OA microenvironment induced by interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) exposure were employed. Combined with Epas1 gene gain‐ and loss‐of‐function, histology, immunofluorescence, quantitative RT‐PCR, Western blot, cell viability and flow cytometry experiments were performed to evaluate the chondroprotective effects of D‐mannose in OA progression and the role of hypoxia‐inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF‐2 α) in D‐mannose‐induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes.ResultsD‐mannose exerted a chondroprotective effect by attenuating the sensitivity of chondrocytes to ferroptosis and alleviated OA progression. HIF‐2α was identified as a central mediator in D‐mannose‐induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes. Furthermore, overexpression of HIF‐2α in chondrocytes by Ad‐Epas1 intra‐articular injection abolished the chondroprotective effect of D‐mannose during OA progression and eliminated the role of D‐mannose as a ferroptosis suppressor.ConclusionsD‐mannose alleviates osteoarthritis progression by suppressing HIF‐2α‐mediated chondrocyte sensitivity to ferroptosis, indicating D‐mannose to be a potential therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis‐related diseases.
Difficult to digest: Takeovers of distressed banks in Vietnam
Authors: Phung Giang , Troege Michael 
Published: September 2021

AbstractGovernment‐induced or voluntary takeovers are frequently used as an indirect way to bail out distressed banks. In this paper, we analyse the impact of acquisitions on banking performance in Vietnam. To demonstrate that the acquirer is not simply inheriting the properties of the underperforming targets, we compare the performance of the merged bank to the pro forma consolidated performance of the acquirer and the target before the merger. We show that takeovers during and after the financial crisis substantially weaken profitability and liquidity and that this negative effect persists for a period of at least 6 years. These findings show that shareholders should be wary of acquisitions and suggest that stabilizing banks through mergers may have detrimental indirect long‐term consequences on the efficiency of financial systems and ultimately economic growth.

Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectivesExplore patient adherence and physician compliance to protocol guidelines during maintenance therapy, including the association with survival in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).MethodsBlood counts, aminotransferase levels and prescribed 6‐mercaptopurine (6MP)/methotrexate (MTX) doses were compared with the protocol guidelines to assess compliance. Non‐adherence to the prescribed medication was confirmed in patients with unmeasurable 6MP metabolite levels and suspected in patients with low 6MP metabolites concurrent with aminotransferase and white blood cell count within normal ranges, while potential intermittent non‐adherence was defined by >1.9 fold fluctuating 6MP metabolites.ResultsPhysicians’ non‐compliance with insufficient dose increments of 6MP/MTX despite white blood cell counts above the target level comprised a median of 20.1% (interquartile range 9.7‐39.3%) of the observed time in maintenance therapy, yet no association to relapse was found (P = .17). Non‐adherence to 6MP was confirmed in 9.8% (5 of 51 patients), suspected in an additional 9.8% (5 of 51 patients), and intermittent non‐adherence was suspected in 52.6% (20 of 38 patients).ConclusionAlthough no association between non‐compliance and leukemic relapse was found, likely due to lack of power, increased attention to this phase of ALL therapy is indicated.

Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo identify caregiver cognitions and perceptions that may contribute to parenting stress among families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who receive treatment for severe behaviors.BackgroundCaregivers of children with ASD and comorbid problem behaviors often report significantly elevated stress, but contributors to this phenomenon are not well understood. Caregiver cognitions and perceptions potentially explain such high stress and, therefore, may represent a malleable intervention point that could positively affect treatment outcomes and whole family well‐being.MethodCaregivers seeking function‐based treatment for their children at a community‐accessible clinic (n = 29) completed standardized measures of parenting stress and of perceptions about ASD and about child behavior severity.ResultsParenting stress measured at intake did not differ between the Elevated and Within Normal Limits groups in terms of child or caregiver demographics, such as household income or ethnicity. However, caregiver negative feelings associated with an ASD diagnosis were significantly higher in the Elevated group, and caregivers in the Elevated group perceived their children's behaviors as more severe, even though all children were being treated for severe behavior problems.ConclusionFindings suggest that a key differentiator between parents who report elevated self‐reported stress at intake and those who do not are caregivers’ cognitive representations of their child's diagnosis and behavioral severity.ImplicationsAligned with psychological constructivism, understanding the role of caregivers’ perceptions among ASD‐affected families may aid in better tailoring interventions, which ultimately may improve treatment retention and enhance treatment outcomes.
Post‐disturbance canopy recovery and the resilience of Europe’s forests
Authors: Senf Cornelius , Seidl Rupert 
Published: September 2021

AbstractAimForest ecosystems around the globe are facing increasing natural and human disturbances. Increasing disturbances can challenge forest resilience, that is, the capacity of forests to sustain their functions and services in the face of disturbance. Quantifying resilience across large spatial extents remains challenging, as it requires the assessment of the ability of forests to recover from disturbance. Here we analysed the resilience of Europe’s forests by means of satellite‐based recovery and disturbance indicators.LocationContinental Europe (35 countries).Time period1986–2018.Major taxa studiedGymnosperm and angiosperm woody plant species.MethodsWe used a comprehensive set of manually interpreted reference plots and random forest regression to model annual canopy cover from remote sensing data across more than 30 million disturbance patches in Europe over the time period 1986–2018. From annual time series of canopy cover, we estimated the time it takes disturbed areas to recover to pre‐disturbance canopy cover levels using space‐for‐time substitution. We quantified forest resilience as the ratio between canopy disturbance and recovery intervals, with critical resilience defined as forest areas where canopy disturbances occurred faster than canopy recovery.ResultsOn average across Europe, forests recover to pre‐disturbance canopy cover within 30 years. The resilience of Europe’s forests to disturbance is high, with recovery being > 10 times faster than disturbance on 69% of the forest area. However, 14% of Europe’s forests had low or critical resilience, with disturbances occurring as fast or faster than forest canopy can recover.Main conclusionsWe conclude that Europe’s forests are widely resilient to past disturbance regimes, yet changing climate and disturbance regimes could erode resilience.

Published: September 2021

AbstractWe estimated HLA haplotype frequencies based on individuals homozygous for 4, 5 or 6 loci. Validation of our approach using a sample of over 3.4 million German individuals was successful. Compared to an expectation‐maximization algorithm, the errors were larger. However, our approach allows the unequivocal detection of rare haplotypes.

Published: September 2021

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on sleep quality and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.MethodsThis randomized controlled study was conducted with 72 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who applied to the rheumatology outpatient clinic of a university hospital between January and May 2018. The data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Fatigue Severity Scale. After the patients in the intervention group completed the forms, patients were given training with regard to the application of progressive muscle relaxation which they subsequently performed, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Fatigue Severity Scale forms were repeated after 6 weeks.ResultsAfter performing progressive muscle relaxation for 6 weeks, the total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the fatigue score decreased among patients in the intervention group; no change was observed among the patients in the control group. A statistical difference was found between the two groups in terms of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index's and Fatigue Severity Scale's mean scores.ConclusionProgressive muscle relaxation can be recommended to enhanced sleep quality and reduce fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Two Problems of Moral Luck for Brain‐Computer Interfaces
Authors: Miller Daniel J. 
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACTBrain‐computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices primarily intended to allow agents to move prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs, and other mechanisms by forming intentions or performing certain mental actions. In this article, I illustrate how the use of BCIs leads to two unique and unrecognised problems of moral luck. In short, it seems that agents who depend upon BCIs for bodily movement or the use of other mechanisms (henceforth ‘BCI agents’) may end up deserving of blame and legal punishment more so than standard counterparts simply due to factors beyond their control. My aim is to explore whether we can avoid the implication that BCI agents are subject to these unique sources of moral luck. In doing, so I offer a number of possible solutions and then defend one of these solutions as the best. As it turns out, the solution I defend addresses both problems of moral luck at once and has broader implications for theorising about moral luck as well as the epistemic condition on moral responsibility.

Published: September 2021

AbstractAimFossil data may be crucial to infer biogeographical history, especially in taxa with tropical trans‐Pacific distributions. Here, we use extinct and extant trochanteriid flattened spiders to test hypotheses that could explain its trans‐Pacific disjunct distribution, including a Boreotropical origin with a North Atlantic dispersal, an African origin with South Atlantic dispersal and an Eurasian origin with Bering Bridge route.LocationWorld‐wide.TaxonTrochanteriidae, Plator‐Doliomalus‐Vectius (PDV) clade.MethodsMicroCT was used to collect morphological data from an undescribed Baltic amber fossil. These data were used with additional fossils and extant species in a total‐evidence, tip‐dated phylogenetic analysis. We tested different scenarios using constrained dispersal matrices in a Bayesian approach. An analysis with fossils pruned was also performed to explore how lack of fossil data might impact inferences of biogeographical process.ResultsThe phylogenetic analyses allowed us to place the new fossil in the genus Plator. Analyses without fossils suggest an African origin with a dispersal to Asia from India and a South Atlantic dispersal to South America. When fossils are included, hypothesis‐testing rejects this scenario and equally supports a Boreotropical and an Afro‐European origin with a South Atlantic route and a dispersal to Asia from Europe.Main conclusionsBiogeographical inferences of disjunctly distributed taxa should be interpreted with caution when fossils are not included. Although one alternative hypothesis was not completely rejected, results show that the Boreotropical hypothesis for the PDV clade could be a robust explanation for its actual distribution. This hypothesis is mostly overlooked in animal taxa and rigorous tests with other taxa with similar distributions may reveal that a Boreotropical origin is common. We discuss methodological approaches that could improve biogeographical tests using fossils as terminals.

AbstractHard palate consists anteriorly of the palatal process of the maxilla (ppmx) and posteriorly of the palatal process of the palatine (ppp). Currently, palatal osteogenesis is receiving increasing attention. This is the first study to provide an overview of the osteogenesis process of the mouse hard palate. We found that the period in which avascular mesenchymal condensation becomes a vascularized bone structure corresponds to embryonic day (E) 14.5 to E16.5 in the hard palate. The ppmx and ppp differ remarkably in morphology and molecular respects during osteogenesis. Osteoclasts in the ppmx and ppp are heterogeneous. There was a multinucleated giant osteoclast on the bone surface at the lateral‐nasal side of the ppmx, while osteoclasts in the ppp were more abundant and adjacent to blood vessels but were smaller and had fewer nuclei. In addition, bone remodeling in the hard palate was asymmetric and exclusively occurred on the nasal side of the hard palate at E18.5. During angiogenesis, CD31‐positive endothelial cells were initially localized in the surrounding of palatal mesenchymal condensation and then invaded the condensation in a sprouting fashion. At the transcriptome level, we found 78 differentially expressed genes related to osteogenesis and angiogenesis between the ppmx and ppp. Fifty‐five related genes were up/downregulated from E14.5 to E16.5. Here, we described the morphogenesis and the heterogeneity in the osteogenic and angiogenic genes profiles of the ppmx and ppp, which are significant for subsequent studies of normal and abnormal subjects.
Untargeted LC‐MS‐based metabonomic analysis of the effect of photoperiod on the testes of broiler roosters

Published: September 2021

AbstractPhotoperiod is an important factor that stimulates the reproductive performance of broiler breeder roosters. However, the mechanism by which photoperiod affects the reproductive performance of broiler breeder roosters has not been fully studied. To study the effects of different photoperiods on the reproductive performance of broiler breeder roosters, 120 Arbor Acres broiler breeder roosters aged 20 weeks were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 40), and the three groups were treated with different photoperiod regimes: control (CTR; 12.5 h of light and 11.5 h of dark, 12.5 L: 11.5 D), short day (SD; 16 L: 8 D) and long day (LD; 8 L: 16 D). Serum and testes were collected after 4 weeks of feeding, and testosterone‐related indices were detected. We found that testosterone synthesis in the testes of broiler roosters was boosted with prolonged of photoperiod. Subsequently, metabonomics was used to identify the differential endogenous metabolites that may affect the function of the testes in breeder roosters. We found compared with other groups, the concentrations of creatine, uridine monophosphate, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate, dCMP, α‐D‐glucose and citric acid in the SD group decreased significantly (p < 0.05), and glyoxylic acid, D‐ribose 5‐phosphate, deoxyuridine and orotic acid in the SD group increased significantly (p < 0.05), while the CTR group and LD group showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). The concentrations of linoleic acid and α‐linolenic acid in the LD group were increased significantly (p < 0.05) than those in the CTR and SD groups. Compared with the CTR group, the concentrations of histamine in the SD and LD groups were significant increased (p < 0.05). The 13 of the different metabolites could be used as candidate biomarkers for different photoperiods affecting testosterone synthesis, may be used to molecular breeding of high reproductive performance broiler roosters.
