Paternity leave: stepchild of family-friendly policies moderating role of traditional masculinity ideology
Authors: Maheshwari Bhawana , Pandey Jatin , Billore Aditya 
Published: July 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance and influence of paternity leave on individual level organizational outcomes. Drawing on signaling theory, the study examines the relationship between paid paternity leave entitlement (PPLE) and organizational attractiveness (OA) through a mediating path of anticipated organizational support (AOS). Furthermore, the study proposes that this mediated relationship would be conditional on traditional masculinity ideology (TMI) such that the relationship would be stronger for individuals who score low on TMI.Design/methodology/approachThe study analyzed a moderated mediation model using the data from a survey experiment. Data were collected from 264 professionals enrolled in an executive education course and will soon be looking for employment.FindingsThe findings supported the mediating role of AOS between PPLE and OA. As predicted, the positive impact of PPLE on AOS and OA is stronger for individuals scoring low on TMI.Originality/valueThis study takes a multidisciplinary approach to understand the underlying mechanisms that impact decisions related to employers. It is one of the few studies that study paternity leave in the Indian context and makes important contributions to theory and practice.

Authors: Won Misun , Shapiro Stephen L. 
Published: July 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine consumer behaviors toward a bundle of tickets and lodging using two different message framing: (1) scarcity framing for a high demand event, the All-Star Game, and (2) discount framing for a lower demand event, an MLB mid-week game.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through two online surveys of 836 sport consumers in total on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and were analyzed using a mix of analysis of variances (ANOVAs) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).FindingsConsumers are likely to buy products separately in a scarce situation. When discounts are offered as benefits of choosing a bundle, consumers with high willingness to pay (WTP) have higher purchase intentions (PI) and perceived value toward cumulative discounts.Originality/valueThis is the one of few studies that investigate (1) price bundling of products from two disparate industries where consumer demands fluctuate, (2) the effects of scarcity in a bundle, and (3) all possible discount messaging in a bundle.
Investigation of mechanical properties and tribological performance of Al-LSP and Al-Al2O3 composite
Authors: Dharmana Lokanadham , Kambagowni Venkata Subbaiah 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
This study aims to develop the Al-Si-Mg metal matrix composite, reinforced distinctly with lime stone powder (LSP; 12% by weight) and Al2O3 (12% by weight), and compare their mechanical properties and tribological performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The composites are fabricated through stir casting process. In view of the previous work, the Al-LSP composite with LSP reinforcement (12 Wt.%) shows enhanced mechanical properties and tribological performance, as compared with other weight percentages.

Findings
Though the Al-LSP composite is less expensive, it shows similar hardness, tensile strength and specific strength, when compared with Al- Al2O3 composite. However, the Al-LSP composite exhibits significant enhancement of above three properties, when compared with Al-Si-Mg metal. The systematic factorial design of experiments is obtained through Taguchi OA [L9]. The tribological performance is estimated through wear rate (WR-mm3/m) and coefficient of friction (CF) by varying the operating parameters of sliding distance (SD), load (L) and sliding velocity (SV). According to ANOVA results, the optimal condition of WR for all the tested materials is L1SD3SV1. Further, the optimal condition of CF is L1SD1SV3 for Al-LSP and Al-Si-Mg metal, while L2SD3SV2 is for Al-Al2O3 composite. The regression equation predicts the measured experimental values within error band of ± 8 percentage.

Originality/value
A comparison of two composite materials (Al-LSP and Al-Al2O3) with same weight fractions (12%) shows almost same trend in both the mechanical and tribological testing process. However, the developed Al-LSP composite exhibited better properties than the Al-Al2O3 and Al-base. Therefore, Al-LSP can be suggested for automotive applications (i.e., connecting rod, cylinder liners, camshaft) and structural applications (such as frames, over hanging supports), without compromising in desirable original with properties of constituents in the new material, which is achievable for looking to the end uses.

AbstractRabies is a type of acute fetal encephalitis caused by rabies virus (RABV). While it becomes incurable after symptom onset, it can be prevented by post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) during the long incubation period. While preclinical diagnosis aids the appropriate PEP administration, it is mostly nonfeasible owing to the absence of viremia or a specific antibody response during the incubation period. Here, an attempt was made to identify a serum biomarker for the preclinical diagnosis of rabies. Using the serum from a mouse inoculated intramuscularly (i.m.) with 5 × 105 focus‐forming units (FFU) of recombinant RABV expressing red firefly luciferase (1088/RFLuc) immediately before symptom onset, two‐dimensional differential gel electrophoresis was conducted, followed by mass spectrometry, and it was confirmed that apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) was up‐regulated. ELISA showed that the serum ApoA1 and specific antibody levels increased during the incubation period and on the day of symptom onset. Since a lower infectious dose can be used to induce the unstable and long incubation period generally observed in natural infection, the ApoA1 level in mice inoculated i.m. with 103 FFU of 1088/RFLuc was examined by monitoring viral dynamics using in vivo imaging. The serum ApoA1 and specific antibody levels were up‐regulated in 50% and 58.3% of mice exhibiting robust RABV replication, respectively, but not in mice exhibiting weak RABV replication. In addition, it was reported that ApoA1 was found to be a biomarker for neuronal damage. Additional biomarker candidates will be needed for the effective preclinical diagnosis of rabies.
Stop multitasking and just read: meta‐analyses of multitasking's effects on reading performance and reading time
Authors: Clinton‐Lisell Virginia 
Published: July 2021

BackgroundMultitasking while reading is a commonplace activity. Many studies have been conducted examining the effect of multitasking on reading comprehension and times. The purpose of this meta‐analysis is to consolidate the empirical findings on reading comprehension and times in order to understand the overall effect of multitasking on reading. Characteristics of the reading situation, comprehension assessment and the secondary task were examined to determine if they varied the effect of multitasking.MethodsA systematic search of studies on multitasking and reading was conducted. Only studies that used random assignment and had participants reading independently were included. This screening yielded 22 independent studies (20 reports) that met inclusion criteria, with 20 studies on reading comprehension and 9 studies on reading times. Most of the studies involved adults reading expository texts.ResultsBased on robust variance estimation analyses, multitasking had a negative effect on reading comprehension (g = −0.28, p = .002). The effect was similar after outliers were removed (g = −0.26, p = .001). Based on moderator analyses, this negative effect may only occur when time was limited because the reading pace was controlled by the experimenter (g = −0.54, p < .001) as there was not a reliable effect when reading was self‐paced (g = −0.14, p = .10). Multitasking during reading lead to longer reading times (g = 0.52, p < .001).ConclusionsMultitasking during reading is detrimental to reading comprehension when time is limited. When readers control their own pace of reading, multitasking lengthens the time for the reading task. Therefore, multitasking while reading is less efficient than focusing attention on the primary task of reading.HighlightsWhat is already known about this topic

Multitasking during reading is commonplace.
Human cognitive resources are limited.

Published: July 2021

AbstractLycopene is a lipophilic unsaturated carotenoid and has a very strong singlet oxygen‐quenching ability. Increased serum or plasma lycopene levels have been reported to be associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the effects of lycopene intake on blood HDL‐cholesterol (HCL‐c) and triglyceride (TG) levels, which are metabolic syndrome biomarkers, by systematic review and meta‐analyses of human interventional trials. We searched 15 databases and included studies that assessed the effects of oral lycopene intake on blood HDL‐c and TG levels of participants ≥18 years of age. Three reviewers independently selected applicable studies, then assessed study qualities. Data were pooled as standardized mean difference (SMD) and analyzed by random‐effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed by I2 statistics. Meta‐analysis including 12 trial arms (n = 781) revealed a significantly increased HDL‐c level in the lycopene group compared with that in the control group (SMD = 0.33 [95% CI: 0.12, 0.54], p = 0.002) and moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 45%). Most subgroup meta‐analyses (restricted to study design, test food type, intake period, and participants’ characteristics) showed similar results for HDL‐c level. On the other hand, meta‐analysis including 11 studies (n = 854) revealed no significant difference in TG level between the lycopene and control groups. Most studies which met eligibility criteria had moderate risk of bias. Funnel plots for HDL‐c and TG suggested an absence of publication bias. In conclusion, this systematic review and meta‐analyses suggested that lycopene intake significantly improved blood HDL‐c levels but not TG levels.
The chromosome‐scale assembly of the Canary Islands endemic spiderDysdera silvatica(Arachnida, Araneae) sheds light on the origin and genome structure of chemoreceptor gene families in chelicerates

AbstractHere, we present the chromosome‐level genome assembly ofDysdera silvaticaSchmidt, 1981, a nocturnal ground‐dwelling spider endemic from the Canary Islands. The genusDysderahas undergone a remarkable diversification in this archipelago mostly associated with shifts in the level of trophic specialization, becoming an excellent model to study the genomic drivers of adaptive radiations. The new assembly (1.37 Gb; scaffold N50 of 174.2 Mb), was performed using the chromosome conformation capture scaffolding technique, represents a continuity improvement of more than 4500 times with respect to the previous version. The seven largest scaffolds or pseudochromosomes, which cover 87% of the total assembly size, probably correspond with the seven chromosomes of the karyotype of this species, including a characteristic large X chromosome. To illustrate the value of this new resource we performed a comprehensive analysis of the two major arthropod chemoreceptor gene families (i.e., gustatory and ionotropic receptors). We identified 545 chemoreceptor sequences distributed across all pseudochromosomes, with a notable underrepresentation in the X chromosome. At least 54% of them localize in 83 genomic clusters with a significantly lower evolutionary distances between them than the average of the family, suggesting a recent origin of many of them. This chromosome‐level assembly is the first high‐quality genome representative of the Synspermiata clade, and just the third among spiders, representing a new valuable resource to gain insights into the structure and organization of chelicerate genomes, including the role that structural variants, repetitive elements and large gene families played in the extraordinary biology of spiders.

AbstractDespite their suitability for studying evolution, many conifer species have large and repetitive giga‐genomes (16–31 Gbp) that create hurdles to producing high coverage SNP data sets that capture diversity from across the entirety of the genome. Due in part to multiple ancient whole genome duplication events, gene family expansion and subsequent evolution within Pinaceae, false diversity from the misalignment of paralog copies creates further challenges in accurately and reproducibly inferring evolutionary history from sequence data. Here, we leverage the cost‐saving benefits of pool‐seq and exome‐capture to discover SNPs in two conifer species, Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, Pinaceae) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb., Pinaceae). We show, using minimal baseline filtering, that allele frequencies estimated from pooled individuals show a strong, positive correlation with those estimated by sequencing the same population as individuals (r > .948), on par with such comparisons made in model organisms. Further, we highlight the utility of haploid megagametophyte tissue for identifying sites that are probably due to misaligned paralogs. Together with additional minor filtering, we show that it is possible to remove many of the loci with large frequency estimate discrepancies between individual and pooled sequencing approaches, improving the correlation further (r > .973). Our work addresses bioinformatic challenges in non‐model organisms with large and complex genomes, highlights the use of megagametophyte tissue for the identification of paralogous artefacts, and suggests the combination of pool‐seq and exome capture to be robust for further evolutionary hypothesis testing in these systems.
Prediction of the potential global distribution of the Asian longhorned beetle Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) under climate change

Published: July 2021

AbstractThe Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an important wood‐boring pest that has caused substantial damage to broadleaf trees in Asia, North America, and Europe.
We used the modelling software CLIMEX to project the potential global distribution of ALB based on both historical (1987–2016) and future (2021–2050) climate conditions. ALB has possible hosts in 37 genera, and their known distributions were incorporated into the model to assess their effect on pest distribution.
Suitable regions for ALB are predicted to be widely distributed under both historical and future climate conditions, and across all continents except Antarctica. With climate change, climate suitability would increase in the regions north of 30°N and decline in most regions south of 30°N.
The area of most climate‐suitable regions would be covered by potential hosts, and optimum hosts would dominate. The possibility of ALB outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere is much higher than in the Southern Hemisphere, owing to the richer abundance of hosts.
These results provide theoretical guidance for developing effective ALB monitoring and mitigation measures.
Hsa_circ_0001326 regulates proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of HTR‐8/SVneo cells via increasing IL16 expression
Authors: Liu Yang , Ma Xuemei , Liu Yingying 
Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication. It has been shown that insufficient infiltration of extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) is related to the pathogenesis of PE. Circular hsa_circ_0001326 (circ_0001326) has been uncovered to be upregulated in PE. However, the influence of circ_0001326 on the infiltration of trophoblasts is indistinct.Methods48 pregnant women (25 PE patients and 23 healthy controls) were recruited for this study. Human trophoblasts HTR‐8/Svneo were used for function analysis. Expression of circ_0001326 was evaluated by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). The diagnostic value of circ_0001326 was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of HTR‐8/Svneo cells were determined using 3‐(4,5‐Dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT), 5‐ethynyl‐2’‐deoxyuridine (EdU), wound‐healing, and transwell assays. Protein levels were detected using Western blotting. The regulation mechanism of circ_0001326 was surveyed by bioinformatics analysis and dual‐luciferase reporter assay.ResultsCirc_0001326 was highly expressed in plasma samples and placental tissues of PE patients. Moreover, plasma circ_0001326 could distinguish PE patients from healthy controls (area under the curve (AUC) =0.793). Functionally, circ_0001326 overexpression repressed HTR‐8/Svneo cell proliferation, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion, but circ_0001326 silencing had the opposing impact. Mechanically, circ_0001326 regulated interleukin‐16 (IL16) expression via sponging microRNA (miR)‐558. MiR‐558 mimic or IL16 knockdown overturned the inhibiting effect of circ_0001326 overexpression on HTR‐8/Svneo cell proliferation, EMT, migration, and invasion.ConclusionCirc_0001326 elevated IL16 expression via sponging miR‐558, thus curbing HTR‐8/Svneo cell proliferation, EMT, migration, and invasion, suggesting that circ_0001326 might be involved in the pathogenesis of PE.
Kentucky Kindling: Stoking Swidden Anthropology with Fire‐play on the Family Farm
Authors: Barnes Carolyn 
Published: July 2021

SummaryThis is a story about my family and “the farm.” Drawing on experimental ethnography and Southern gothic literature, it is also an allegory about a heated eroding present. It slowly builds, like a fire, layering scenes of ordinary life with hallucinatory stories that flare up on the landscape. Historical hauntings and multiple ominous horizons. How things were and are. How things coulda been different. This both taps into and troubles the life and verve of real and imagined rural Kentucky, and more broadly, the gyrating heats, horrors, and hypocrisies of contemporary America during the late capitalist Anthropocene. An experiment in “swidden anthropology,” this essay also fans the flames, fuels disorientation and despair, and foments crisis in American anthropology, perhaps kindling new methods and forging new genres suited to these “dark” and haunted end times.

AbstractBackgroundThis multicentre cohort study investigates the effect of smoking on the outcome of rotator cuff repair (RCR), with attention to age at presentation for surgery, pre‐operative and post‐operative pain and function and intra‐operative findings.MethodsPatient information was collected pre‐operatively, including Flex Shoulder Function (Flex SF) and visual analogue scale pain, then at 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years post‐operatively. Intra‐operative technical data were collected by the operating surgeon. Current smokers were classified by daily cigarette consumption.ResultsA total of 1383 RCRs in as many patients were included with an 84% 5‐year follow‐up. Smokers were on average 6.7 years younger than non‐smokers (51.8 vs. 58.5, P < 0.001). There was no difference in intra‐operatively assessed tear size both in anteroposterior dimension (P = 0.5) and retraction (P = 0.9). Pre‐operative Flex SF score in smokers was below that of non‐smokers (23.0 vs. 24.5, P = 0.002) and at 6 months (P = 0.02) but no different at 5 years (P = 0.7). Pain scores were higher in smokers than non‐smokers both pre‐operatively (5.34 vs. 4.67, P < 0.001) and up to 2 years (P < 0.001) but not at 5 years (P = 0.073).ConclusionSmokers undergoing RCR were younger than non‐smokers, and had worse pre‐operative pain scores and shoulder function. Poorer post‐operative function persisted to 6 months, and with higher reported pain to 2 years in smokers. However, at 5‐year follow‐up, patient‐reported outcomes were not affected by smoking status.
