Authors: Hamouche Salima , Bani-Melhem Shaker , Demir Ahmet , Kammogne Christiane Liliane 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Crises significantly affect the “people” dimension of the triple bottom line, disrupting careers through economic consequences, reducing organizational trust and altering career choices. Entrepreneurial careers may emerge as an alternative to secure income and career control. Crises can generate career shocks, prompting transitions from traditional employment to entrepreneurship. This study aims to investigate how crises influence career transitions, particularly entrepreneurial intentions, focusing on the effects of layoffs, job insecurity and perceived employability during COVID-19. It explores both direct and indirect impacts of these factors through career shock, contributing to career and entrepreneurship research.

Design/methodology/approach
Cross-sectional data were collected in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) using snowball sampling during the COVID-19 health crisis. The final sample consisted of 211 working individuals. An online questionnaire was distributed to participants. The study hypotheses were tested using Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis conducted with SmartPLS 3.0.

Findings
The obtained results showed that the layoff of others, job insecurity and low perceived employability are significantly associated with career shock. And that career shock mediates the relationship between these variables and entrepreneurial intention in times of crisis, except for job insecurity.

Practical implications
This research provides insights for employees, managers, organizations and policymakers. It is necessary to carefully address employee expectations and experiences to identify career decisions resulting from career shocks and determine the needed interventions and support.

Originality/value
Very few studies examined the relationship between career shock and entrepreneurial intention. This cannot help human resources management practitioners understand how career shock can trigger the transition from paid employment to an entrepreneurial career. This study broadens the scope of research on human resource management, entrepreneurship and career by examining the direct effects of layoff, job insecurity and perceived employability on career shock as well as on entrepreneurial intention, in addition to their direct effects on the latter through career shock during a crisis.

Authors: Lee Wan-Chen , Huang Li-Min Cassandra , Hirt Juliana 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study aims to understand fiction readers’ perspectives on the strengths and concerns of incorporating emojis into information systems for fiction. To solicit readers’ feedback, the authors adopted Cho et al.’s (2023) model of three families of fiction mood categories as the theoretical framework. Based on this framework, prototypes of interface designs that implemented textual mood descriptors and/or emojis were developed.Design/methodology/approachEighteen adult fiction readers at a US public university were recruited for online interviews. The participants shared their insights into the prototypes and their fiction search and review experiences.FindingsMost participants preferred designs that support both mood terms and emojis. The findings highlighted the potential of emojis to improve metadata inclusivity and serve diverse users’ needs. Technical challenges and accessibility issues for blind or visually impaired users were noted as limitations of emoji implementation.Originality/valueBased on established theoretical frameworks and emoji mappings for mood categories, this study advances the progress of implementing emojis into information systems for fiction. The findings will inform user-centered interface designs that support the description, search and review of fiction.

Abstract

Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, both sequestering and subsequently releasing carbon to the atmosphere via decomposition. Decomposition has largely been studied in fallen and standing deadwood; much less is known about decomposition occurring inside live trees due to hollowing by wood‐feeding termites and microbial heart rot. Internal stem damage is difficult to measure, leaving many unresolved knowledge gaps. Little is known regarding the location and total amount of damage done by termites and microbes, as well as whether these decomposers act in concert or separately. Furthermore, tree species, wood density and stem size can influence fallen deadwood decomposition, but their role in living tree internal damage is largely unknown.

We destructively harvested 63 trees, finding internal damage in 32. We intensively sampled the internal stem damage in these 32 to investigate the relative contributions of microbes and termites in a tropical savanna in Queensland, Australia. We tested if damage changed at different heights in the tree, quantified tree‐level termite and microbial damage and examined if termite and microbial damage co‐occurred. We also tested the influence of tree species, wood specific gravity and size on tree‐level internal stem damage across four species.

Termite and microbial damage were present in 45% and 33% of all trees, respectively. On average, termite damage reduced total tree biomass by 3.3% (maximum 28%, SD = 4.7%) and microbial damage by 1.8% (maximum 26%, SD = 5.3%). The amount of damage from both decomposers decreased with increasing heights up the tree. Termite and microbial damage co‐occurrence was greater within trees than within individual cross section samples, suggesting local competitive exclusion or niche partitioning by decomposers. Tree species was a better predictor of damage than either wood specific gravity or tree size.

Half of the trees in our study had substantial internal stem damage, highlighting the considerable role that termites and microbes play in decomposing wood within living trees. Our findings unveil the previously concealed wood decomposition dynamics occurring inside trees, with implications for accurate carbon estimation across savanna ecosystems.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTOxylipin signalling is central in biology, mediating processes such as cellular homeostasis, inflammation and molecular signalling. It may also facilitate inter‐partner communication in the cnidarian‐dinoflagellate symbiosis, though this aspect remains understudied. In this study, four oxylipin receptors were characterised using immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (‘Aiptasia’): Prostaglandin E2 receptor 2 (EP2) and 4 (EP4), Transient Receptor Potential cation channel A1 (TRPA1) and Glutamate Receptor Ionotropic, Kainate 2 (GRIK2). Receptor abundance and localisation were compared between aposymbiotic anemones and symbiotic anemones hosting either native Breviolum minutum or non‐native Durusdinium trenchii. All receptors were localised to the putative symbiosome of freshly isolated symbionts, suggesting a role in host‐symbiont crosstalk. EP2, EP4 and TRPA1 abundance decreased in the gastrodermis of anemones hosting B. minutum, indicating potential downregulation of pathways mediated by these receptors. In contrast, GRIK2 abundance increased in anemones hosting D. trenchii in both the epidermis and gastrodermis; GRIK2 acts as a chemosensor of potential pathogens in other systems and could play a similar role here given D. trenchii's reputation as a sub‐optimal partner for Aiptasia. This study contributes to the understanding of oxylipin signalling in the cnidarian‐dinoflagellate symbiosis and supports further exploration of host‐symbiont molecular signalling.
Administrative burden as a constraint on freedom in the modern welfare state
Authors: Brown Jeremiah Thomas , Malbon Eleanor 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe administrative burden literature has demonstrated a variety of ways in which administrative burdens can act as barriers to citizens accessing services to which they are entitled. This paper connects these insights to ideas from the Capabilities Approach to Human Development to articulate the ways that administrative burdens can be understood as constraints on freedom. Drawing from examples in the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme application process, we discuss potential barriers to accessing social support services in the conditional welfare state. This analysis demonstrates the subtle mechanisms through which citizens can be excluded from accessing services to which they are entitled and the disconnection between being entitled to a service in principle and being free to access that service in practice. The paper demonstrates that by paying more attention to the filtering mechanisms in social policies, administrative burden can offer insight into what constrains freedom in the modern welfare state.Points for practitioners
For many policy areas within the welfare state, there are a variety of challenges that can prevent citizens from obtaining access to rights which they are entitled to receive, with administrative burdens being a common type of barrier to completing administrative processes that relate to accessing rights.
Administrative burdens can act as constraints on freedom for people by preventing them from completing administrative processes which are necessary to complete in order to access supports to which they are entitled, and which would otherwise expand their freedom by increasing the range of meaningful choices which they would hold.
Practitioners should think about structural components of the wider system they engage with when working on or changing an application process (like the health system), since those components of the system may become overloaded when they become a requirement for a widely applied for service, and this can make those requirements harder for applicants to comply with.
Back to Business? Business‐Owners and Their Responses to COVID‐19 Policies in a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Nielsen Julie Hassing , Goenaga Agustín 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWhile necessary to protect human lives, many of the measures implemented by governments to contain the COVID‐19 pandemic imposed significant costs on the population. Drawing on an original representative survey fielded during the first wave of COVID‐19 in April–June 2020 in Sweden and Denmark, we examine how members of different occupational groups evaluated their government's pandemic strategies. Despite sharing several institutional, cultural, and political features, Denmark adopted an extensive lockdown, while Sweden largely relied on individual responsibility. We find that Danish business‐owners, whose incomes were more vulnerable to the economic costs of a strict lockdown, expressed lower trust and satisfaction in the national pandemic strategy and greater concern about the concentration of power by the government, compared to all other Danish occupational categories as well as to business‐owners in Sweden. Our findings thus indicate that exposure to the economic costs of pandemic strategies was not only associated with more critical views towards public health measures, but that it also made citizens more likely to see them as violations to democratic rights.
Acute Tracheal Obstruction Secondary to Cervical Liposarcoma Metastasis
Authors: Chen Haoyu , Zhang Song , Zhou Haining 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTTracheal obstruction can arise from multiple conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, foreign bodies, tumors, and acute heart failure. We report a case of a 43‐year‐old man with cervical liposarcoma who, following surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiation, presented with severe dyspnea and was admitted to our hospital. A CT scan detected an endotracheal mass causing significant obstruction, suspected to be malignant. The patient required intensive care due to respiratory distress. Bronchoscopy revealed a red polypoid lesion causing nearly 90% tracheal narrowing, which was successfully resected using high‐frequency electrotrap and argon coagulation, confirming it as a metastasis from the previously treated liposarcoma. Remarkably, there were no significant recurrences after 6 months. While lung metastases are frequent, intratracheal metastasis is rare; this case is the first documenting bronchial and tracheal metastasis of liposarcoma. It highlights the dangers of airway obstruction and the need for timely intervention. Although CT scans are helpful in identifying intrabronchial tumors, bronchoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment, with several options available for urgent cases.

AbstractBackgroundSetting rules about alcohol use and minimizing its availability in the home are known effective parent‐level strategies for reducing underage drinking risk. However, parents' restrictions and their perceptions of their child's alcohol access have rarely been considered in combination (e.g., determining if rule‐setting consistently accompanies perceived easy access), despite the potential to inform targeted prevention. The current study identified patterns in six parent‐reported indicators of their child's alcohol restrictions and access and characterized them with respect to race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, community type (urban, suburban, or rural), and neighborhood (dis)advantage.MethodsLatent profile analysis was applied to Follow‐up Year 2 data from the parents of Black, Latinx, and White participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (n = 9586; youth mean age = 12.05; 47.50% girl, 51.32% boy, 0.32% other gender; 14.29% Black, 25.97% Latinx, and 59.74% White) to derive distinct profiles.ResultsFour profiles (subgroups) emerged: High Restrictions/No Drinkers in Household (32.18%), Low Restrictions/High Access (29.58%), High Restrictions/High Access (26.38%), and High Restrictions/Low Access (11.86%). Black and Latinx youth and parents with relatively low educational attainment and income were overrepresented in the High Restrictions/No Drinkers in Household and High Restrictions/Low Access subgroups. By contrast, the low restrictions subgroups were composed primarily of parents of White youth living in advantaged neighborhoods.ConclusionsFindings support the notion that parents' perspectives and behaviors around youth alcohol access cannot be divided simply into restrictive and permissive. Further, the observed differences by demographic and neighborhood factors suggest the value of tailoring parent‐level prevention approaches to consider community norms.

AbstractBackgroundTo investigate the trends in alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD), liver cancer from alcohol, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) burden among older adults in the United States (US).MethodsWe gathered the ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD prevalence, mortality, and age‐standardized rates (ASRs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 between 2010 and 2021. We estimated the annual percent change (APC) with confidence intervals (CIs) for the burden of ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD in older adults (>70 years) in the United States. The findings were contrasted with global estimates and categorized by sex and state.ResultsIn 2021, there were approximately 512,340 cases of AUD, 56,990 cases of ALD, and 4490 cases of primary liver cancer from alcohol among older adults in the United States. In contrast to declining ASRs of prevalence and mortality in the global burden, these parameters were increased in older adults in the United States. From 2000 to 2021, prevalence from AUD (APC: 0.54%, 95% CI 0.43% to 0.65%), ALD (APC + 0.54%, 95% CI 0.22% to 0.86%), and primary liver cancer from alcohol (APC 2.93%, 95% CI 2.76% to 3.11%) increased. Forty states in the United States exhibited a rise in the prevalence rates of ALD in older adults.ConclusionOur findings highlighted the increased prevalence and mortality of AUD, ALD, and primary liver cancer from alcohol among older adults in the United Sates, contrasting with the decline in global trends. Public health strategies on ALD, AUD, and primary liver cancer from alcohol, which targets older adults, are urgently needed.
