High-performance work systems and thriving at work: the role of cognitive appraisal and servant leadership
Authors: Wang Zhining , Ren Shuang , Meng Lijun 
Published: July 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a balanced and nuanced understanding of the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and employee thriving at work by aiming to consider the “dark-side” of HPWS and to uncover the “black box.”Design/methodology/approachThis research draws from data from 377 employees nested in 77 work teams and tests a multilevel moderated mediation model using multilevel path analysis.FindingsThe findings indicate that employees appraise HPWS as both a challenge and a hindrance simultaneously. The challenge appraisal associated with HPWS positively influences employees' thriving at work whereas hindrance appraisal of HPWS negatively influences thriving experience. The results also support the hypothesized relationships in which servant leadership moderates the indirect effect of HPWS on employee thriving via challenge and hindrance appraisals accordingly.Originality/valueThis research demonstrates both positive and negative sides of HPWS as evaluated by employees in relation to an important employee outcome of thriving at work. It enriches the strategic HRM literature by identifying the “black box” of HPWS-employee outcomes and associated boundary condition from the theoretical perspective of cognitive appraisals.

AbstractBackgroundHere, we aimed to assess the association of ALK variants and alterations with ensartinib response duration in NSCLC, and explore the potential value of computed tomography (CT) radiomic features in predicting progression‐free survival (PFS).MethodsWe enrolled 88 patients with identified ALK variant NSCLC in a multicenter phase 2 trial, and assessed the impact of ALK variants and secondary ALK alterations on the clinical outcome (response duration) of patients receiving ensartinib. We also established a multifactorial model of clinicopathological and quantitative CT radiomic features to predict PFS and risk stratification. Kaplan–Meier analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for tumor progression.ResultsUnivariate analysis indicated a statistical difference (p = 0.035) in PFS among ALK variants in three classifications (V1, V3, and other variants). Secondary ALK alterations were adversely associated with PFS both in univariate (p = 0.008) and multivariate (p = 0.04) analyses and could identify patients at high risk for early progression in the Kaplan–Meier analysis (p = 0.002). Additionally, response duration to crizotinib <1 year and liver metastasis were adversely associated with PFS. The combined model, composed of clinicopathological signature and CT radiomic signature, showed good prediction ability with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve being 0.85, and 0.89 in the training and validation dataset respectively.ConclusionsOur study showed that secondary ALK alterations were adversely associated with ensartinib efficacy, and that ALK variants might not correlate with PFS. The quantitative radiomic signature provided added prognostic prediction value to the clinicopathological features.

Published: July 2021

AbstractThis study was conducted to explore the molecular mechanisms of berberine (Ber) via peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARG) in promoting in vitro maturation (IVM) and lipid metabolism of porcine oocytes. Our results showed that expression changes in PPARG influenced IVM and the lipid droplet content of porcine oocytes. Moreover, c‐Jun‐N‐terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor modified the effect of PPARG agonist on IVM and lipid droplet content of porcine oocytes, and Ber significantly reduced lipid droplet content. Activation of PPARG upregulated the transcription level of microRNA‐192 (miR‐192), significantly promoted the expression of fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3) and steroid regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1) and PPARG, inhibited phosphorylation of PPARG, and enhanced JNK phosphorylation. Ber and overexpression of miR‐192 upregulated the transcription level of miR‐192 in porcine oocytes; significantly decreased the expression of FABP3, SREBF1, and PPARG; increased PPARG phosphorylation; and inhibited JNK phosphorylation. Otherwise, JNK inhibitor reduced the effects of PPARG agonist. In conclusion, Ber may activate the expression of miR‐192, downregulate the expression level of PPARG and lipid synthesis‐related genes, increase PPARG phosphorylation, and reduce JNK phosphorylation to enhance lipid metabolism, which is beneficial to improve porcine oocyte quality of IVM.

AbstractObjectivesThe study aimed to collect and compare practising characteristics for dental hygienists (DHs) in New Zealand (NZ) and Sweden.MethodsDental hygienists from NZ and Sweden were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey focussing on their working practices. An email, with a link to the online survey and a participant information sheet, was sent to DHs registered with their professional association in their respective country. Frequency analyses and cross‐tabulations were conducted using chi‐square and Fisher's exact tests to investigate possible statistical associations to allow for comparisons between the countries.ResultsDH is a female‐dominated workforce with equal distribution of gender in both countries. The majority of DHs in NZ worked in private practice while Swedish DHs mostly worked in the public sector. NZ participants were younger and with a more recent qualification than their Swedish counterparts. The highest degree of education was a PhD for DHs working in Sweden, compared with a master's degree for NZ participants. The majority of participants from both countries treated patients 65 years of age or older, with the most common medical conditions being cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The most common dental condition observed/treated was periodontal disease. Over 60% agreed to have an understanding of information technology (IT). The most used technical equipment was digital radiology, followed by other diagnostic tools.ConclusionFindings confirm previous international data on demographical uptake for the DH workforce in NZ and Sweden. A coherence was seen in patient characteristics, DHs’ attitudes towards information technology and use of technical equipment.

AbstractFebrile ulceronecrotic Mucha‐Habermann disease (FUMHD) is a rare inflammatory dermatological disease. A case of a 13‐year‐old boy with FUMHD possibly triggered by mycoplasma infection is presented. Based on FUMHD cases identified in a MEDLINE literature search, demographic, treatment, and outcome data were analyzed. An FUMHD mortality risk score is proposed based on the likelihood ratios of risk factors for a fatal outcome. Our FUMHD case had marked leukopenia and thrombocytopenia at admission. He recovered without systemic immunosuppressive treatment. Literature review revealed 119 FUMHD cases. Overall lethality was 14/119 (12%, CI 6–17%), and lethality in children was lower (1/54, 2%, CI 0–6%) compared to adults (13/65, 20%, CI 11–31%). Risk factors for a fatal outcome (likelihood ratio;P) were sepsis (24.97,P < 0.001), adult vs. pediatric patient age (11.19;P = 0.001), systemic involvement (19.97,P < 0.001), and mucosal involvement (4.58;P = 0.032). The proposed FUMHD mortality risk score = Age/10 + 4 + 4 (if systemic involvement) + 1 (if mucosal involvement) was discriminative (sensitivity 93%, specificity 77%). In FUMHD, immune‐suppressive treatment intensity should be balanced against the mortality risk, as infectious complications are a frequent cause of death.

AbstractIntroductionPatients with renal failure are at increased risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. Further descriptions of laboratory investigations in these patients are required.MethodsInvestigation of 24 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages IV‐V with light transmission aggregometry, platelet secretion assays and platelet nucleotide analysis. Patients were in a nonbleeding state and not on antiplatelet medication. Results were compared with our local reference range used within the clinical haematology service.ResultsOf the 24 patients, two had decreased responses to arachidonic acid, adenosine diphosphate, collagen, thrombin receptor activator peptide‐6 and one had decreased responses to high dose ristocetin, and one had increased response to low dose ristocetin. 11 and 13 out of 24 had abnormal platelet secretion release to collagen and thrombin, respectively. Platelet nucleotide analysis in patients was normal with the exception of a reduction in ADP content in one patient and ATP/ADP ratio in one patient.ConclusionsIn our collection of patients with CKD investigated for platelet function in the nonbleeding state, they generally had normal light transmission aggregometry and nucleotide analysis but around 50% had decreased platelet secretion assays. These results could be important in determining the significance of platelet function tests in patients with bleeding symptoms and renal failure. Further characterization of platelet function tests in future will help characterize haemostasis in renal failure further.

AbstractObjectiveThis study examined whether adult children's transitions to marriage, parenthood, and divorce were related to intergenerational support exchanges.BackgroundIntergenerational support fluctuates over the life span, often in response to major transitions, but surprisingly little research has examined longitudinally how life transitions shape the bidirectional flow of intergenerational support.MethodUsing data from adult children who participated in Waves 2, 4, 6, and 8 of the German Family Panel (pairfam) study, we estimated fixed effect models to explore how marital and parenthood transitions of adult children predict support exchanges between adult children and their parents (n = 5245 adult children's report of support exchanges with their mother and n = 4604 with their father; total 14,359 and 12,147 observations).ResultsGetting married was associated with adult children receiving less emotional support from mothers, while providing less instrumental support to their parents. Becoming a mother was associated with receiving more instrumental support from parents and receiving less material/financial support among adult children closer to their parents. When adult children became a parent, emotional and instrumental provision to mothers decreased. Getting divorced was associated with adult children receiving more emotional and material support from parents, but findings varied based on child gender and closeness with parents.ConclusionAdult children's life transitions influence patterns of support exchanged with their parents differentially based on parent–child gender composition and intergenerational closeness.
A female advantage? Gender patterning of psychological well‐being among migrants and returnees in China
Authors: Jin Lei , Zhao Xiaohang , Tong Yuying 
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACTDuring recent decades, China has experienced large‐scale rural‐to‐urban migration and a substantial proportion of the migrant population are women. Previous research has suggested that men and women may experience different gains and losses during the migration process and women may derive more psychological benefits than men. Moreover, the female advantage may concentrate in the married. Little quantitative research has systematically assessed these propositions. In this paper, we seek to the fill the gaps by assessing how migrants’ psychological well‐being is influenced when gender intersects with marriage and the migration process, including both migrating out and moving back. We used random‐intercept linear models to analyze data from a nationally representative survey of working‐age adults. We found that during rural‐to‐urban migration, women fared better than men in terms of psychological well‐being. The gender gaps in psychological well‐being among migrants came to resemble that of the urbanites. The female advantage was particularly significant for those who were married. But the female advantage seemed to have disappeared when migrants returned to their sending communities. This study illustrates the heterogeneity in the impact of migration on psychological well‐being and identifies groups that are vulnerable to the negative impact of migration who may benefit from targeted interventions.

Published: July 2021

AbstractMammal's saliva contains a variety of electrolytes and proteins. They carry out an important role in the digestion process, in the antibacterial and antiviral activity, in lubrication and maintenance of oral general health status. It may also contain several enzymes according to dietary habits and general wellness. Sialochemistry is a valid alternative to the haematochemical analysis for the evaluation of animal health and nutritional status. At present, very little knowledge is available on health status and pathology of crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) and no data are yet available on salivary enzymes. Between 2018 and 2020, a preliminary investigation of enzymatic activity on saliva samples was carried out from captured porcupines. In crested porcupine saliva, enzymatic activity of trypsin, chymotrypsin, N‐Aminopeptidase, amylase, lignin peroxidise, cellulase and chitinase were recorded. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S‐transferase and alkaline phosphatase activity was also detected. The superoxide dismutase activity resulted higher (3.13 SD 3.58 U/mg proteins) than those of catalase (130.80 SD 110.65 mU/mg proteins) and glutathione S‐transferase (20.21 SD 16.62 mM/mg proteins). Alkaline phosphatase activity resulted lower (5.91 SD 6.12 mU/mg proteins) than acidic phosphatase (19.00 SD 16.16 U/mg proteins) with the highest values of saliva alkaline phosphatases recorded in young individuals. These preliminary data bring new knowledge on crested porcupine saliva enzymes and may provide a useful tool for further investigation on the adaptive response of crested porcupine to different environmental condition and diet. Additional investigation concerning a possible alternative use of saliva enzymes as indicator of health and nutritional status of this rodent are desirable.

“Loving was almost always listening”: Sensory collaboration and modes of relation in Gertrude Stein's literary portraits
Authors: Kim Hyunjung 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThis essay discusses Gertrude Stein's literary portraits within the affective terrain of literary and cultural studies by focusing on the idea of collaboration and relationality. It attempts to configure Stein as a sensory collaborator by concentrating on the oral/aural and other nondiscursive sensory qualities such as touch that Stein insists on, specifically through repetition in her literary portraits, which have been read mostly in the context of the poet's engagement with the visual arts. I offer a new reading of Stein's writing, beyond the visual paradigm, by considering her idea of listening as a form of attention and care. Furthermore, I look at how this affective mode is realized through her approach to writing poetry as an act of “caressing” her subject matter. I argue that Stein's writing is a site for sensorial collaboration, in which new modes of relation emerge, as her literary portraits suggest the ways in which our senses implicate not only one's individual perception of the subject but various forms of sociabilities and affective connections. This essay ultimately proposes that Stein's insistence on making telling, listening, repeating, and what she calls “caressing” into a combined mode of relation evokes how poetry can become a site in which extending or transforming oneself into a collaborative mode of being becomes possible.

Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundTo test in vivo a new design prototype for radio frequency (RF) ablation.MethodsA prototype based on a concept of endo‐epicardial biparietal bipolar RF ablation with the atrial tissue interposed and consisting of two specular endocardial‐epicardial catheters was tested in four pigs (80±5 kg). The endocardial catheter was introduced into the left atrium through the left atrial appendage on the beating heart. The epicardial counterpart was placed manually on the atrial epicardial surface. The coupling of the two catheters was achieved using a neodymium magnet around the gold plate electrode, and RF was applied to the interposed tissue. The hearts were excised, and the lesions were examined using morphometric evaluation.ResultsThe RF application resulted in transmural lesions in all of the four animals tested. In these animals the maximum endocardial width (Wendo) was 6.34 ± 0.25, 6.54 ± 0.33, 6.36 ± 0.57, and 6.49 ± 0.96 mm. The pericardial width (Wepi) was similar: 6.37 ± 0.47, 6.58 ± 0.32, 6.35 ± 0.56 and 6.53 ± 0.94 mm. The lesion area was 924.78, 949.25, 944.25, and 926.05 mm2, and the lesion volume was 92.47, 94.92, 94.42, and 92.60 mm3, respectively.ConclusionsThe idea of an endocardial‐epicardial bidirectional biparietal bipolar radiofrequency tool such that the atrial tissue is fully interposed between the two RF poles might be promising for future clinical applications. Further research is warranted.

Published: July 2021

AbstractObjectivesWe aimed to measure the frequency and factors associated with anodal stimulation in a pediatric population with epicardial pacing leads.BackgroundIn bipolar pacemakers, capture of the myocardium typically occurs at the cathode. However, AS with capture at the anode has been described. This has not been described in epicardial pacemakers.MethodsRetrospective data were collected from patients ≤ 21 years of age with permanent bipolar epicardial ventricular pacemakers from 1/2017 to 1/2018. AS was defined as a clear change on surface ECG in at least one of the 12 leads assessed by two blinded pediatric electrophysiologists.ResultsTwenty‐four bipolar leads in 23 patients were included in the study. One patient had both biventricular leads tested. Median age was 7.1 years (IQR 5.0–10.9), weight was 20.9 kg (IQR 16.5–33.5), and 65% were male. Testing was performed at a median of 2.8 years (IQR 1.6–6.1) after implant. Congenital heart disease was present in 57%. Complete heart block was the pacemaker indication in 78%. AS was identified in 16/24 (67%) of leads tested. Identification of AS was associated with presence of congenital heart disease (p = 0.004) and 3DD between electrodes (p = 0.04).ConclusionsAS is common in pediatric patients and was associated with a history of congenital heart disease and greater estimated 3DD between electrodes. The prevalent nature of AS may allow clinicians to utilize existing pacemakers as multisite pacing systems.

AbstractThe desired microstructure and mechanical properties of heat treatable 7xxx aluminum alloy can be achieved after spray quenching by controlling spray parameters. However, heat transfer behavior between specimen and quenchant is transient and complicated in quenching process. In this paper, a spray quenching system was utilized to quench for 7xxx aluminum alloy. The influence of spray parameters, including spray pressure and spray distance, on heat transfer behavior was examined and discussed. Heat flux (HF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were calculated by iterative method. The results indicated that the aluminum alloy experienced transition boiling, nucleate boiling, and convection cooling regimes during spray quenching process. Heat transfer capability first increased and then decreased with the increasing of spray pressure or spray distance. A function of local heat transfer coefficient (L-HTC) which is variable in specimen surface temperature, spray parameters, and spatial location was constructed. Residual stress of 7xxx aluminum alloy plates was increased first and then slightly differed with the increase of volumetric flux.

Abstract
Thermo-hydroforming (THF) process is a single-step process for thermoplastic composite forming, which has a great advantage in terms of the process time and mass production potential as compared to conventional processes. However, with THF processes, wrinkles and deformations are easily generated due to the process characteristics and process parameters. In this study, the matrix material was examined by considering viscoelasticity and changes in formability according to the forming speed. A numerical analysis of the THF composites was performed based on the preferred fiber orientation (PFO) analysis model, which considers the viscoelasticity of the matrix. The deformation change and molding possibility were examined according to various forming speeds. The viscoelastic PFO model showed better analysis efficiency and stability than the primitive PFO model. This analysis will help improve the process of forming thermoplastic composites.
