Ancient Art and the Eighteenth‐Century Auction: Collecting, Catalogues and Competition
Authors: Cochrane Nicole 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis article explores the role of the auction in the formation and dispersal of collections of ancient art in late‐eighteenth‐ and early‐nineteenth‐century Britain. I demonstrate that competitive collecting, as well as the culture of acquiring and fragmenting collections at auction, had a profound effect on the way in which British buyers collected and displayed antiquities within their private collections. I argue that through an exploration of two textual sites, the auction and collection catalogue, we can observe that collectors carefully curated their collections, visually as well as textually, in order to craft specific narratives centred on the act of collecting at auctions, shaping and shifting the ways in which collectors understood and curated the art of antiquity.
A typology of small‐ and medium‐sized supplier approaches to social responsibility
Authors: Oldham Simon , Spence Laura J. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractResearch on socially responsible supply chains has tended to define suppliers over‐simplistically as either responsible or irresponsible. This paper illuminates the varied roles of broadly socially responsible small and medium sized enterprises by seeking to discern the differences and highlight the heterogeneity of the approaches taken. Distinguishing our approach from extant corporate social responsibility categorisations, a typology is outlined, drawing on Jungian Theory of Extraversion and the strategic capability of smaller firms. The analysis suggests four groupings of socially responsible small and medium enterprise supplier: strategic engager; strategic contemplator; active connector and active reflector. Overall, the paper seeks to inject nuance into discussions regarding supplier social responsibility practices, adding to the small business social responsibility literature, as well as unifying a number of strands of research relating to supply chain responsibility. The proposed typology offers firm foundations for further empirical and conceptual research in the area.
Platelet transfusion improves clot formation and platelet function in severely thrombocytopenic haematology patients

Published: September 2021

SummaryProphylactic platelet (PLT) transfusion is a common practice in severely thrombocytopenic patients that reduces mortality, but responses to platelet transfusions are variable and difficult to predict in individual patients. In this prospective study, we evaluated the outcome of PLT transfusions in 40 patients with haematological malignancies, linking corrected count increment (CCI) to clot formation and agonist‐induced platelet activation after transfusion. The CCI was highly variable between patients and 34% showed no response (1‐h CCI < 7,5). Short time since the last PLT transfusion and extended storage time of the PLT product were linked to poor transfusion response, while patient sex, C‐reactive protein or the number of chemotherapy cycles prior to transfusion did not influence transfusion outcome. High CCI and good PLT responsiveness to agonist stimulation predicted efficient clot formation in rotational thromboelastometry, but transfusion did not restore poor PLT function in patients to the level of healthy controls. Our study provides new insights into factors affecting PLT transfusion outcome in haematology patients with severe thrombocytopenia, and suggests that the thrombocytopenic environment, or disease‐associated factors, may hamper platelet responsiveness.
Controlling owner type, state capitalism, and corporate social responsibility in Africa
Authors: Kim Jimi , Jo Hoje 
Published: September 2021

AbstractResearch Question/IssueWe theorize tensions between the dual purposes of financial gains and social impact and examine how varieties of controlling owner type and state capitalism influence corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in weak institutional settings. Specifically, we investigate the impact of the state as a majority investor (via state‐owned enterprises) and as a strategic investor (via government‐owned vehicles such as sovereign wealth funds) on CSR.Research Findings/InsightsUsing 512 firm‐year observations from 2007 to 2015, we find that similar to a widely held corporation, state‐owned enterprises are negatively associated with social and environmental practices. Yet, when the state serves as a strategic supporter and investor (i.e., sovereign wealth funds), a firm tends to exhibit greater CSR practices. Our findings are robust to random‐effect models and the two‐stage least squares instrumental variable approach.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsWe examine the influence of controlling shareholders on CSR with a focus on state capitalism in Africa, highlighting the role of controlling owners that may fill institutional voids especially when sovereign wealth funds are the largest shareholders. By focusing on Africa, this study broadens the understanding of CSR and controlling ownership by eliminating assumptions and preconditions stemming from developed‐country contexts.Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsThis study offers insights to policy makers interested in promoting social and environmental practices. As such, we disentangle the mechanisms behind social and environmental engagements by government, state investor (i.e., sovereign wealth funds), and widely held corporate investors, contributing to the understanding of underresearched domains and guiding not only managers but also policy makers. Our results encourage policy makers to pay attention to specific characteristics of state capitalism.

AbstractBackground and purposeThe distribution of the major modifiable risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) changes rapidly. These changes call for contemporary data from large‐scale population‐based studies. The aim of the present study was to examine trends in incidence, risk factors, and mortality in ICH patients from 2004 to 2017.MethodsIn a population‐based cohort study, we calculated age‐ and sex‐standardized incidence rates (SIRs), incidence rates (IRs) stratified by age and sex per 100,000 person‐years, and trends in risk profiles. We estimated absolute mortality risk, and the Cox proportional hazards regression multivariable‐adjusted hazard ratios for 30‐day and 1‐year mortality.ResultsWe included 16,902 patients (53% men; median age 75 years) from 2004 to 2017. The SIR of ICH decreased from 33 (95% confidence interval [CI] 32–34) in 2004/2005 to 28 (95% CI 27–29) in 2016/2017. Among patients aged ≥70 years, the IR decreased from 137 (95% CI 130–144) in 2004/2005 to 112 (95% CI 106–117) in 2016/2017. The IR in patients aged <70 years was unchanged. From 2004 to 2017, the proportion of patients with hypertension increased from 49% to 66%, the use of oral anticoagulants increased from 7% to 18%, and the use of platelet inhibitors decreased from 40% to 28%. The adjusted hazard ratio for 30‐day mortality in 2016/2017 was 0.94 (95% CI 0.89–1.01) and 1‐year mortality was 0.98 (95% CI 0.93–1.04) compared with 2004/2005.ConclusionThe incidence of spontaneous ICH decreased from 2004 to 2017, with no clear trend in mortality. The risk profile of ICH patients changed substantially, with increasing proportions of hypertension and anticoagulant treatment. Given the high mortality rate of ICH, further advances in prevention and treatment are urgently needed.
Mexican immigrant parents’ hopes for their children and parenting strategies in different immigration climates

Published: September 2021

AbstractIn the present article, we explore the hopes that immigrant parents of Mexican origin have for their children and the strategies they employ to foster such hopes in light of immigration status, immigration climate, and transnational lived experiences. We conducted six focus groups with 42 immigrant parents of Mexican origin living in Arizona and Texas to explore their hopes and strategies used to foster hopes. Parents, the majority of whom were mothers, defined hopes in terms of what they can provide to their children, including (a) a better life through education and economic opportunities, (b) a strong moral and civic upbringing, and (c) safety from neighborhood crime and hostile immigrant climates. Parents fostered these hopes through the strategies of using self as example, parental involvement and monitoring, self‐sacrifice, and family unity. Mothers of unauthorized immigration status raising children in a harsh immigration climate also avoided undue public exposure to ensure their children's safety, a task that was difficult for fathers as breadwinners. Immigration status and climate influenced parents’ ability to provide opportunities for their children to pursue educational and career opportunities. We discuss parents’ hopes and parenting strategies in the context of different immigration climates, highlight emerging gender differences, and provide recommendations for research and practice.

ObjectiveThe current study was aimed at exploring Italian parents' perceived negative and positive changes in family life during the COVID‐19 pandemic, taking into account the role of the stage of the family life and family size.BackgroundDuring the emergency of the COVID‐19 pandemic, millions of families drastically changed their daily life and routines. Little evidence exists on how family characteristics, such as family size or presence of children, are related to families' experience of family change.MethodA large sample of 1,407 Italian parents (70.1% mothers) filled in an anonymous online survey during the third week of the lockdown period (between March 30 and April 7, 2020).ResultsResults showed that parents reported perceiving more positive changes than negative ones, especially in terms of feeling more emotionally close to their children and spending more fun time with them. Interestingly, parents with two or more children reported more positive changes in family life compared with parents who had one child, showing a greater relational regenerative capacity in the face of COVID‐19 lockdown.Conclusion and ImplicationsInvesting in family relationships, especially for larger families, is an effective coping strategy to deal with traumatic situations and promote positive family changes in stressful situations.
The impact of legal advisor‐issuer cooperation on securitization pricing
Authors: Karimov Nodirbek , Kara Alper , Downing Gareth 
Published: September 2021

AbstractWe examine the impact of cooperation between legal advisors and issuers on bank securitization pricing using 6,624 European ABS tranches issued in the European market over the period of 1998 to 2018. We find that previous cooperation is negatively related to initial yield spreads of ABS. Investors seem to attach value to previous cooperation between issuers and legal advisors and consider such transactions less risky by asking for lower yields. We observe that the magnitude of the past relationships is also of importance. Moreover, previous cooperation becomes more important as the risk of the transaction increases. This is especially noticeable when prime (AAA rated) tranches are compared to non‐prime (non‐AAA rated) tranches. Our results also show that the number of legal advisors in a deal does not matter for investors.

Abstract

Phytobenthos are often underrepresented in both limnological and paleolimnological studies but may play key roles in whole‐lake production and ecosystem processes including eutrophication, food‐web dynamics, and ecosystem state changes.

Photosynthetic pigments, stables isotopes, and diatoms were quantified from surface sediments (0–1 cm) collected across a depth transect of a small, DOC‐rich, mesotrophic lake in boreal northwestern Ontario to assess spatial variation in phytobenthos abundance and production.

Maximal concentrations of siliceous algae and cyanobacteria pigments occurred at ~2–6 m depth, with abundant tychoplanktonic diatoms, depleted sedimentary δ13C values, and elevated ratios of precursor chlorophyll a to product pheophytin a, all aligning well with the depths of the thermocline, epilimnetic mixing, and maximum light penetration.

These patterns demonstrated the presence of three discrete community assemblages, with greatest mass accumulation occurring at intermediate depths where warm illuminated sediments provide habitat for tychoplanktonic diatoms and cyanobacteria between turbulent shallows and cold and dark depths.

If widespread among boreal lakes, this tychoplanktonic zone may exert important effects on whole‐lake production, carbon sequestration, benthic‐pelagic food‐web coupling, eutrophication, and ecosystem state change.
Breaking the mold? Ministerial rotations, legislative production and political strategies in Lebanon
Authors: Mahmalat Mounir , Zoughaib Sami 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis article investigates the effect of ministerial rotations on legislative output. We leverage a novel dataset on “significant” legislation in Lebanon, defined as those texts that introduce changes in the legislative environment and are potentially relevant for legal appeals. We associate the legislative output of nine key ministries in all governments between 2005 and 2020 to 72 ministerial changes in this period. We find that rotation decreases the output of significant legislation by almost a fourth of average productivity—or more than 0.75 texts—per ministry and term, a result that is robust to various model specifications and fixed effects. Leveraging 35 expert interviews with senior government officials and (ex‐)ministers, we provide a theory in which rotations give rise to “memory losses” within ministries depending on the strategies of political parties to penetrate institutions with loyalists. Our findings have important implications for priorities to reform public administrations.
Interlukin‐27 rs153109 polymorphism confers the susceptibility and prognosis of aplastic anemia in Chinese population
Authors: Yu Wei , Yang Wu 
Published: September 2021

AbstractIntroductionAccumulating evidence has indicated that interleukin (IL)‐27 and its gene polymorphisms exert pivotal impact on several autoimmune disorders. This research intended to investigate the relationship between IL‐27 rs153109 polymorphism with risk and prognosis for aplastic anemia.MethodsIL‐27 rs153109 polymorphism was detected with polymerase chain reaction–ligase detection reaction in 238 patients with aplastic anemia and 215 normal individuals. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays were applied to measure the plasma level of IL‐27.ResultsFrequencies of rs153109 AA and GG genotype were statistically higher in aplastic anemia patients compared to controls. Similar results were observed when further divided patients into nonsevere and severe ones. That means carriers of AA and GG genotype are accompanied by an increased risk of developing aplastic anemia. Plasma IL‐27 levels of aplastic anemia patients were remarkably elevated than normal group and had positive relation with disease severity. Furthermore, patients with AA genotype had obviously higher IL‐27 levels than ones with AG and GG genotype. Moreover, patients carrying AA genotype exhibited a poorer reaction to immunosuppressive therapy and were more prone to clonal evolution.ConclusionIL‐27 rs153109 polymorphism confers genetic predisposition to aplastic anemia and influences disease prognosis, potentially by regulating IL‐27 expression, which help broaden potential pathogenesis of aplastic anemia. Specifically, for patients with AA genotype, more aggressive therapeutic strategies such as hematopoietic stem cells transplantation are warranted.
Oral submucous fibrosis stimulates invasion and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in oral squamous cell carcinoma by activating MMP‐2 and IGF‐IR

Published: September 2021

AbstractOral submucous fibrosis (OSF) involves a high risk of malignant transformation and has been implicated in oral cancer. Limited studies have been conducted on the role of OSF in relation to the invasive capabilities and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in oral cancer. Herein, we investigated the effects of OSF on the microenvironment of human oral cancer cells. The results showed that the conditioned medium (CM) of fibrotic buccal mucosal fibroblasts (fBMFs) strongly induced the invasion of oral cancer cells and increased the activities of matrix metalloproteinase‐2. OSF significantly induced the EMT in oral cancer cells and downregulated epithelial markers, such as E‐cadherin, but significantly elevated vimentin, fibronectin, N‐cadherin, RhoA, Rac‐1 and FAK. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) was elevated in OSF. The protein levels of the IGF‐1R were upregulated specifically in fBMF CM treatment for oral cancer cells, and the IGFR gene was confirmed by The Cancer Genome Atlas patient transcriptome data. The Kaplan‐Meier curve analysis revealed that patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and high IGFR expression levels had poorer 5‐year survival than those with low IGFR expression (p = 0.004). The fBMF‐stimulated EMT cell model may recapture some of the molecular changes during EMT progression in clinical patients with oral cancer.

AbstractFlavour is an important factor in evaluating meat quality, and amino acids and fats are important components affecting meat flavour. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between the variation of lysine residue addition and the slaughter performance and meat quality of broilers, which decreased with the addition of lysine residues but improved the meat quality of the broilers. 10% lysine residue addition was the most beneficial for reducing feed cost and improving meat quality. Meanwhile, the plasma metabolites of broilers fed increasing concentrations of lysine residue supplemented feeds were analysed using liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS). Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA) were used screen, the differential metabolites induced by lysine residue. In the broilers 29, 37, 63, 87, 80 and 111 differential metabolites were detected (p < 0.05). Amongst them, 3‐iodotyrosine, N‐methyl‐L‐glutamic acid, coumaraldehyde, 2‐dimethylphenol, N‐methylnicotinamide and L‐erythrone were the common differential metabolites between group A and groups B, C, D, E, F and G. The addition of lysine residue was positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase (p < 0.05, r = 0.942) and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.05, r = 0.798) and negatively correlated with aspartate aminotransferase (p < 0.05, r = 0.822). According to the classification of differential metabolites and their enriched pathway analysis, differential metabolites mainly caused changes in amino acid and lipid metabolism. Our study shows that a certain proportion of lysine residue in diet affects the specific metabolic pathway of broilers, which may affect amino acid and fat metabolism by regulating alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, ultimately affecting the flavour.
Mothers' perceptions of self‐efficacy and satisfaction with parenting are related to their use of controlling and positive food parenting practices
Authors: Holley Clare E. , Haycraft Emma 
Published: September 2021

AbstractPerceptions of parenting competence are composed of self‐efficacy and satisfaction with parenting. Parenting competence is linked to differential outcomes across numerous parenting domains. To date, few studies have explored the relationships between maternal self‐efficacy and food parenting practices, deploying different measures and age ranges, and yielding conflicting findings. Therefore, the current study sought to explore relationships between the two dimensions of perceived parenting competence and the use of controlling and positive food parenting practices. UK mothers (N = 269) of 18‐ to 59‐month‐old children completed measures of both dimensions of perceived parenting competence (i.e., parenting self‐efficacy and satisfaction) and of controlling (maladaptive) and positive (health promoting) food parenting practices. Relationships were found between perceptions of competence and use of food parenting practices. Self‐efficacy and satisfaction with parenting were positively associated with the use of most positive food parenting practices. Greater parenting satisfaction, but not parenting efficacy, was associated with lower use of some of the potentially detrimental controlling food parenting practices. Neither parenting self‐efficacy nor satisfaction with parenting were related to mothers' reported use of pressure to eat. In conclusion, supporting and promoting greater maternal self‐efficacy and satisfaction with parenting may be a useful target for public health interventions and for professionals working with families with the aim of promoting optimal parenting to support children's development of healthy eating habits. Future research should seek to further elucidate the current findings with a longitudinal design.
