Enhancing resilience to negative information in consumer-brand interaction: the mediating role of brand knowledge and involvement
Authors: Elsharnouby Mohamed H. , Mohsen Jasmine , Saeed Omnia T. , Mahrous Abeer A. 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This study aims to examine the relationships between the online communities’ characteristics and resilience to negative information (RNI) mediated by both brand knowledge and brand involvement.

Design/methodology/approach
According to stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework, this research postulates that information quality, rewards and virtual interactivity drive RNI directly and indirectly through brand knowledge and/ or brand involvement. A survey of 326 Facebook pages followers was conducted, representing followers of fashion clothing brands in social media platforms in Egypt. We have used AMOS to check the constructs’ validity and reliability, as well as the Hayes’s PROCESS macro to test the mediation.

Findings
The findings show that information quality, rewards and virtual interactivity are the respective drivers of brand knowledge and brand involvement; the brand knowledge and brand involvement help explain why consumers are resilient to negative information of specific brands; and the drivers of brand knowledge and/ or brand involvement differ in consumers who tend to ignore negative information they receive about the brand.

Practical implications
Outcomes of the research recommend that executives should identify the outstanding determinants for improving resilient consumers to negative information through creating the highest possible brand knowledge and involvement between the consumers and brands.

Originality/value
Little attention has been paid to examine the RNI and linking it with brand knowledge and brand involvement in online communities’ context, thus, the current research is conducted.

Published: June 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine frontline employees' self-monitoring personality as an antecedent of their emotional exhaustion and how supervisor-rated performance mediates this relationship. In addition, the authors explored the moderating role of perceived competitive climate on the indirect relationship between self-monitoring and emotional exhaustion.Design/methodology/approachTwo hundred and thirty-seven frontline employees and their immediate supervisors working in hospitality organizations responded to the survey using time lagged research design. Measurement model was tested using confirmatory factor analysis to assess the distinctiveness of study constructs, and proposed moderated mediation model was tested using Process macro.FindingsResults show that high self-monitoring leads to high supervisor-rated performance, and this relationship is stronger in highly competitive work climate. The supervisor-rated performance was negatively related to emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine the interaction effects of self-monitoring and perceived competitive climate on frontline employees' performance and emotional exhaustion, particularly in the frontline jobs. Supervisor-rated performance has not been previously theorized or researched as an underlying mechanism of the effect of self-monitoring on emotional exhaustion.

An exotic herbivore reinforces competition between exotic and native plants
Authors: Sakata Yuzu , Craig Timothy P. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Despite increasing evidence that herbivore‐mediated indirect effects play a major role in plant competition, it is unclear how and when they contribute to plant invasiveness. The outcomes of herbivore‐mediated indirect effects are primarily dependent on the environment and have complex interactions with the direct interactions between plants.

We evaluated the herbivore‐mediated indirect effects of Solidago altissima (Asteraceae) on other co‐occurring native Asteraceae species at multiple sites in a native range [the United States (US)] and in an introduced range (Japan) using common garden experiments. We examined the effect of S. altissima on herbivore damage, above‐ground vegetative and reproductive traits of the co‐occurring Asteraceae species at sites with different densities of a herbivore, the lace bug, Corythucha marmorata, which is native to the US and introduced in Japan.

We observed increased lace bug herbivory in plants grown with S. altissima in Japan but decreased lace bug herbivory in the US. We did not find consistent effect of S. altissima on aboveground vegetative production of co‐occurring plants in either ranges. Flower production decreased in plants grown with S. altissima in Japan because of both direct competition and increased herbivory. Direct competition and apparent competition via lace bug herbivory interacted to produce a strong negative effect of S. altissima on co‐occurring plants only in Japan.

Synthesis. The findings imply that evolutionary history and the local environment jointly affect herbivore‐mediated indirect effects, which play a large role in shaping the pattern of herbivory and plant competition. Another implication of our results is that exotic herbivores may reinforce the negative effects of exotic plants on native plants under high herbivore density environments.
LncRNASGMS1‐AS1 regulates lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT progression via miR‐106a‐5p/MYLI9 axis

Published: June 2021

AbstractBackgroundLung cancer mainly includes non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the main subtype of NSCLC. Long non‐coding RNAs (LncRNAs) had been found to exert numerous functions on the progressions of cancers. MicroRNAs often exist as the target of LncRNAs to regulate a series of signaling pathways in human. We explored the effects and molecular mechanism of LncRNA SGMS1‐AS1 on the procedures of LUAD cells.MethodsThe ENCORI and GEPIA databases were used to analyze the differences in SGMS1, miR‐106a‐5p, and MYLIP between LUAD and normal tissue. Their expression levels were examined by RT‐PCR. CCK8, colony formation, migration, and invasion assay were conducted in LUAD cells which had silenced SGMS1‐AS1. To verify the relationship between SGMS1‐AS1, miR‐106a‐5p, and MYLIP, we overexpressed miR‐106a‐5p inhibitor or MYLIP in LUAD cells after decreasing SGMS1‐AS1 and repeated the above assays.ResultsSGMS1‐AS1 was downregulated in LUAD tissue as well as cells, which was related to good prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Additionally, knockdown of SGMS1‐AS1 promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression of LUAD cells, which meant that SGMS1‐AS1 inhibited the progression of LUAD cells. Furthermore, miR‐106a‐5p was the direct target of SGMS1‐AS1 and transfecting miR‐106a‐5p inhibitor could reversed the impact induced by knockdown of SGMS1‐AS1. Subsequently, we found that MYLIP was the target of miR‐106a‐5p, which was negatively correlated with miR‐106a‐5p, but had high positive correlation with SGMS1‐AS1. Consistently, overexpression MYLIP partly eliminated the effects on A549 cells induced by silencing of SGMS1‐AS1.ConclusionLncRNA SGMS1‐AS1 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT progression of LUAD cells via targeting miR‐106a‐5p/MYLIP axis.

AbstractIncreased levels of dysfunctional mitochondria within skeletal muscle are correlated with numerous age‐related physiopathological conditions. Improving our understanding of the links between mitochondrial function and muscle proteostasis, and the role played by individual genes and regulatory networks, is essential to develop treatments for these conditions. One potential player is the mitochondrial outer membrane protein Fis1, a crucial fission factor heavily involved in mitochondrial dynamics in yeast but with an unknown role in higher‐order organisms. By using Drosophila melanogaster as a model, we explored the effect of Fis1 mutations generated by transposon Minos‐mediated integration. Mutants exhibited a higher ratio of damaged mitochondria with age as well as elevated reactive oxygen species levels compared with controls. This caused an increase in oxidative stress, resulting in large accumulations of ubiquitinated proteins, accelerated muscle function decline, and mitochondrial myopathies in young mutant flies. Ectopic expression of Fis1 isoforms was sufficient to suppress this phenotype. Loss of Fis1 led to unbalanced mitochondrial proteostasis within fly muscle, decreasing both flight capabilities and lifespan. Fis1 thus clearly plays a role in fly mitochondrial dynamics. Further investigations into the detailed function of Fis1 are necessary for exploring how mitochondrial function correlates with muscle health during aging.

AbstractDespite strong preclinical evidence for the ability of corticotropin releasing factor 1 (CRF1) antagonists to regulate alcohol consumption, clinical trials have not yet demonstrated therapeutic effects of these compounds in alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients. Several confounding factors may limit the translation of preclinical CRF1 research to patients, including reliance on experimenter‐administered alcohol instead of voluntary consumption, a preponderance of evidence collected in male subjects only and an inability to assess the effects of alcohol on specific brain circuits. A population of particular interest is the CRF1‐containing neurons of the central amygdala (CeA). CRF1 CeA neurons are sensitive to ethanol, but the effects of alcohol drinking on CRF signalling within this population are unknown. In the present study, we assessed the effects of voluntary alcohol drinking on inhibitory control of CRF1+ CeA neurons from male and female CRF1:GFP mice using ex vivo electrophysiology and determined the contributions of CRF1 signalling to inhibitory control and voluntary alcohol drinking. Chronic alcohol drinking produced neuroadaptations in CRF1+ neurons that increased the sensitivity of GABAA receptor‐mediated sIPSCs to the acute effects of alcohol, CRF and the CRF1 antagonist R121919, but these adaptations were more pronounced in male versus female mice. The CRF1 antagonist CP‐154,526 reduced voluntary alcohol drinking in both sexes and abolished sex differences in alcohol drinking. The lack of alcohol‐induced adaptation in the female CRF1 system may be related to the elevated alcohol intake exhibited by female mice and could contribute to the ineffectiveness of CRF1 antagonists in female AUD patients.
Resolving the identification of weak‐flying insects during flight: a coupling between rigorous data processing and biology
Authors: Hassall Kirsty L. , Dye Alex , Potamitis Ilyas , Bell James R. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Bioacoustic methods play an increasingly important role for the detection of insects in a range of surveillance and monitoring programmes.
Weak‐flying insects evade detection because they do not yield sufficient audio information to capture wingbeat and harmonic frequencies. These inaudible insects often pose a significant threat to food security as pests of key agricultural crops worldwide.
Automatic detection of such insects is crucial to the future of crop protection by providing critical information to assess the risk to a crop and the need for preventative measures.
We describe an experimental set‐up designed to derive audio recordings from a range of weak‐flying aphids and beetles using an LED array.
A rigorous data processing pipeline was developed to extract meaningful features, linked to morphological characteristics, from the audio and harmonic series for six aphid and two beetle species.
An ensemble of over 50 bioacoustic parameters was used to achieve species discrimination with a success rate of 80%. The inclusion of the dominant and fundamental frequencies improved prediction between beetles and aphids because of large differences in wingbeat frequencies.
At the species level, error rates were minimized when harmonic features were supplemented by features indicative of differences in species' flight energies.

Published: June 2021

AbstractBrain malformations have been reported in RASopathies, including postnatal external hydrocephalus, a nonobstructive form of cerebrospinal fluid accumulation around the brain. It was described in a few patients with mutations of other genes thanPTPN11, such asSOS1andSHOC2and never in prenatal diagnosis. The aim of this case report is to describe the prenatal presentation of a fetus with Noonan syndrome (NS) and external hydrocephalus.We report on a Noonan syndrome fetus with ade novopathogenicPTPN11c.923A>G p.Asn308Ser mutation, showing external hydrocephalus, an extremely rare fetal finding, corpus callosum, and cerebellar vermis under the 10th centile, plus a typical NS cardiopathy. This is the first case of Noonan syndrome prenatal diagnosis in a fetus presenting with external hydrocephalus.Following pathophysiological considerations, we suggest to consider NS in the differential diagnosis of external hydrocephalus, investigating other evocative findings and considering molecular screening for mutations in NS‐related genes.

AbstractBackgroundSurgical conditions form a significant proportion of the global burden of disease. Since the 2015 World Health Assembly resolution A68.15, there is recognition that the provision of essential surgical care is an integral part of universal access to health care. The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery proposed its first surgical indicator to measure a population's access to the Bellwether procedures (laparotomy, caesarean section and treatment of open fracture) within two hours. Bellwether access is a proxy for emergency and essential surgical care. This project aims to map essential surgical access to the Bellwether procedures in Malaysia.MethodsThe location and capability of hospitals to perform the Bellwether procedures was obtained from the Ministry of Health (MoH) and MoH hospital specific websites. The Malaysian population data were retrieved from the national department of statistics. Times for patients to travel to hospital were calculated by combining manual contouring and geospatial mapping.ResultsThere were 49 Bellwether‐capable MoH hospitals serving a national population of 32.5 million. Overall 94% of Malaysia's population have access to the Bellwethers within two hours. This coverage is universal in West (Peninsular) Malaysia, but there is only 73% coverage in East Malaysia, with 1.8 million residents of Sabah and Sarawak not having timely access. Malaysia's Bellwether capacity compares well with other countries in World Health Organisation's Western Pacific region.ConclusionThere is good access to essential and emergency surgical services in Malaysia. The incomplete access for 1.8 million people in East Malaysia will inform national surgical planning.

Published: June 2021

AbstractIntroductionThe presence of vasa previa carries a high risk for severe fetal morbidity and mortality due to fetal bleeding caused by injury to unprotected fetal vessels when rupture of membranes occurs. Previously, it has been shown that prenatal diagnosis significantly improves the outcome. However, systematic screening for vasa previa is not generally performed and clinical studies demonstrating the performance of systematic screening for vasa previa in routine clinical practice are rare. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of systematic screening for vasa previa by determining placental cord insertion at the 20‐week anomaly scan.Material and methodsThis is a retrospective study of 6038 pregnant women between 18+0 and 24+0 gestational weeks who were prospectively screened for vasa previa by depiction of the site of placental cord insertion at the 20‐week anomaly scan. Pregnancies with marginal or velamentous cord insertion underwent vaginal sonography for examination for vasa previa. In cases with succenturiate or bilobed placentas, the bridging vessels were depicted, and vaginal sonography was performed if necessary.ResultsThere were 21 cases of vasa previa and all were diagnosed prenatally. In 18 cases, the cord insertion was marginal or velamentous. The remaining three cases had placental anomalies, which necessitated a detailed examination. All pregnancies with vasa previa were delivered at a mean of 35.2 (SD 1.8) gestational weeks by cesarean section. Among pregnancies affected by vasa previa, all fetuses survived. The median birthweight was 2390 g (range 1200–2990 g) and the mean umbilical artery pH 7.34 (SD 0.04). The median 5‐min APGAR score was nine (range 7–10). None of the fetuses or neonates died or required blood transfusions. In all pregnancies of the whole cohort which were complicated by fetal or neonatal demise and in neonates with a 5‐min APGAR score ≤5 and/or an umbilical artery pH ≤7.10, fetal blood loss was excluded as a cause of the poor obstetric outcome.ConclusionsScreening for vasa previa is feasible and efficient, taking into account the site of placental cord insertion in pregnancies not affected by placenta previa and bilobed and succenturiate placenta.

Published: June 2021

AbstractGenetic programming (GP) has been primarily used to tackle optimization, classification, and feature selection related tasks. The widespread use of GP is due to its flexible and comprehensible tree‐type structure. Similarly, research is also gaining momentum in the field of image processing, because of its promising results over vast areas of applications ranging from medical image processing to multispectral imaging. Image processing is mainly involved in applications such as computer vision, pattern recognition, image compression, storage, and medical diagnostics. This universal nature of images and their associated algorithm, that is, complexities, gave an impetus to the exploration of GP. GP has thus been used in different ways for image processing since its inception. Many interesting GP techniques have been developed and employed in the field of image processing, and consequently, we aim to provide the research community an extensive view of these techniques. This survey thus presents the diverse applications of GP in image processing and provides useful resources for further research. In addition, the comparison of different parameters used in different applications of image processing is summarized in tabular form. Moreover, analysis of the different parameters used in image processing related tasks is carried‐out to save the time needed in the future for evaluating the parameters of GP. As more advancement is made in GP methodologies, its success in solving complex tasks, not only in image processing but also in other fields, may increase. In addition, guidelines are provided for applying GP in image processing related tasks, the pros and cons of GP techniques are discussed, and some future directions are also set.
