Beyond El Arrebato: the seven stages of Conocimiento as instruments for radical reflection and the unlearning of white supremacy culture
Authors: García Mazari Sheila 
Published: December 2021

PurposeTo be actively antiracist requires an internal reckoning, what Chicana activist and scholar Gloria E. Anzaldúa referred to as “el arrebato.” Used to describe the first of seven cycles through which conocimiento, or knowledge, is formed, el arrebato presents a shift in the understanding of the world as it has been prescribed by both patriarchy and white supremacy. This paper will use Anzaldúa's Seven Stages of Conocimiento to trace a Latinx librarian's journey in unlearning white supremacy toward a shift to antiracist practices.Design/methodology/approachThis ethnography follows the author from her time as a Diversity Alliance resident librarian in an R1 library to her current position as a tenure-track librarian in a primarily white institution, outlining how the seven stages have led toward active interrogation of not only library structures but with the legacy of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous discourse within her own Latinx identity.FindingsAs an ongoing reflective practice, this paper presents a journey of learning and unlearning toward critically deconstructing the culture of “niceness” within librarianship, where the principles of neutrality and vocational awe lend to library structures that place responsibility on the individual for institutional trauma rather than rightly examining and reconstructing the environments and structures themselves.Originality/valueThis autoethnography presents the viewpoint of a first-generation Latinx librarian growing up in a tricultural context in the Midwest.
Launching chat service during the pandemic: inaugurating a new public service under emergency conditions
Authors: Decker Emy Nelson , Chapman Karen 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis article details the implementation of a live online chat service which was suddenly necessitated by the worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The approaches used to train chat operators during this time inform both current and future training initiatives toward continuous improvement in this academic library setting.Design/methodology/approachChat transcripts from the period of March 2020–April 2021 serve as the dataset for this study.FindingsIn bringing a live chat service online during a global pandemic, chat transcripts from this period reveal 19.3% of all chat interactions related directly to COVID-19. The transcripts also reveal the types of questions, whether reference or directional, and these, combined with staffing patterns, indicate that staff were addressing reference questions more often than librarians. In addition, 25.2% of all transactions, whether by staff or librarians, resulted in tickets or referrals to hand off the question to a subject or functional specialist. These findings help to inform targeted face-to-face refresher training for chat operators.Originality/valueWhile bringing a live chat service online is certainly not novel, the impetus behind the quick setup was. This unusual circumstance allowed for an in-depth look at the nature of chat and its training requirements and limitations due to campus stay-at-home orders. It also provided a new understanding that influenced subsequent face-to-face trainings.
The influence of multiple combinations of celebrity endorsers on consumers' intentions to purchase a sports-related product
Authors: von Felbert Aaron , Breuer Christoph 
Published: December 2021

PurposeEndorsement research has focused primarily on determining the effectiveness of single endorsers, whereas marketing practice shows that companies usually engage multiple endorsers to promote their brands and products. As academic evidence for multiple endorsers is limited and extant findings are ambiguous, the purpose of this study is to determine the influence of different multiple endorser combinations on consumers' purchase intentions for a sports-related product endorsement and to identify whether endorser-product congruence and consumers' involvement with the endorsed product moderate endorsers' influences.Design/methodology/approachTwo-hundred thirty-three useful responses were collected to an online experiment, and endorsers' direct and indirect influences on consumers' purchase intentions were analyzed in serial mediation analyses. Potential moderating effects of endorser-product congruence and consumers' involvement with the endorsed product were tested in moderated regression analyses.FindingsThe study's findings show that using multiple endorsers has an overall positive influence on consumers' purchase intentions, which is mediated by their attitudes toward the advertisements and the endorsed brand. Endorser-product congruence moderates an endorsement's effectiveness, whereas a moderating effect of consumers' product involvement was not supported.Originality/valueThis study adds to the extant body of endorsement research by confirming the overall effectiveness of using multiple endorsers to influence consumers' intentions to purchase the endorsed product. In addition, by showing that endorser-product congruence determines endorsers' effectiveness in a multiple endorser context, the study extends the current research perspective and provides practical implications for marketing professionals on how to combine multiple endorsers.

Published: December 2021

AbstractThe contribution of angiotensin (1–7) (Ang1‐7) to control of extrarenal and renal function may be modified in diabetes. We investigated the effects of Ang1‐7 supplementation on blood pressure, renal circulation and intrarenal reactivity (IVR) to vasoactive agents in normoglycaemic (NG) and streptozotocin diabetic rats (DM). In Sprague Dawley DM and NG rats, 3 weeks after streptozotocin (60 mg/kg i.p.) or solvent injection, Ang1‐7 was administered (400 ng/min) over the next 2 weeks using subcutaneously implanted osmotic minipumps. For a period of 5 weeks, blood pressure (BP), 24 h water intake and diuresis were determined weekly. In anaesthetised rats, BP, renal total and cortical (CBF), outer (OMBF) and inner medullary (IMBF) perfusion and urine excretion were determined. To check IVR, a short‐time infusion of acetylcholine or norepinephrine was randomly given to the renal artery. Unexpectedly, BP did not differ between NG and DM, and this was not modified by Ang‐1–7 supplementation. Baseline IMBF was higher in NG vs. DM, and Ang1‐7 treatment did not change it in NG but decreased it in DM. In the latter, Ang1‐7 increased cortical IVR to vasoconstrictor and vasodilator stimuli. IMBF decrease after high acetylcholine dose seen in untreated NG was reverted to an increase in Ang1‐7 treated rats. Irrespective of the glycaemia level, Ang1‐7 did not modify BP. However, it impaired medullary circulation in DM, whereas in NG it rendered the medullary vasculature more sensitive to vasodilators. Possibly, the medullary hypoperfusion in DM was mediated by Ang1‐7 activation of angiotensin AT‐1 receptors which are upregulated by hyperglycaemia.
Surviving Covid‐19: The Role of Human Resource Managers in Shaping Organizational Responses to Societal Paradox
Authors: Branicki Layla , Kalfa Senia , Brammer Stephen 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThis study examines the role played by Australian human resource (HR) managers in shaping organizational responses to the Covid‐19 pandemic from the perspective of paradox theory. We argue that the Covid‐19 crisis triggered a ‘societal paradox’ – protecting lives and the economy – that cascaded to organizations of all types. While studies suggest paradoxes cross levels of analysis, little is known regarding organizational responses to a societal paradox entailing interdependent and yet contradictory demands between socially significant objectives. We focus on HR managers because of their key role in providing Covid‐19 advice and support. Using a combination of cross‐sectional survey data (n = 680) and detailed semi‐structured interviews (n = 43), we examine variations in HR managers’ experience of, and responses to, organizational tensions generated by societal paradox. We find that HR managers play a key role in shaping whether organizational responses ‘replicate’ the initial societal paradox, or ‘magnify’ existing latent paradoxical tensions in the organization. We show how applying a societal lens adds insight to paradox theory, elucidate the HR‐related mechanisms that underpin variations in organizational experiences/responses and produce an inductive model to guide future studies.
On Feta and Fetta: Protecting EU geographical indications in Australia
Authors: Huysmans Martijn 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe European Union (EU) protects about 1500 regional specialty foods such as Feta cheese and Gouda Holland. However, this geographical indications (GIs) protection does not automatically extend to other jurisdictions. This article tests a theory of EU demands for GIs in EU–Australia trade negotiations, using newly coded data on EU GI names in Australian supermarkets. Focusing on cheese, it confirms that the EU seeks protection for GIs where the authentic EU GI products are well established. The demand for protection does not seem to be driven primarily by current non‐GI uses of GI names, since a qualitative analysis reveals few product names that would be banned if EU demands are granted by Australia. These findings imply that Australian negotiators and producers should be less afraid of losing currently established generic food names—a fear that is especially present in the United States, which has strongly opposed the protection of GIs worldwide.

AbstractBackgroundMicropapillary adenocarcinoma has a poor prognostic histological pattern. Additionally, preoperative detection of lymph node metastases by preoperative examination is difficult in some patients with micropapillary adenocarcinoma, and postoperative upstage may occur. However, clinicopathological features of patients with micropapillary adenocarcinoma with nodal upstage have not been established, therefore this study aimed to identify the factors associated with potential lymph node metastases during preoperative examination to ensure effective surgical procedures.MethodsBetween January 2011 and December 2020, 1029 patients received complete resection for primary non‐small‐cell lung cancer by lobectomy or more extensive resection with systematic lymph node dissection at this institution. One hundred and thirty‐one patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma with micropapillary component were included in this study. The clinicopathological features of patients with nodal upstage whose postoperative N stage was more advanced than the preoperative N stage were examined.ResultsForty patients had nodal upstage after resection. 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (PET‐CT) revealed that a maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) ≥5 for the primary lesion was significantly associated with postoperative nodal upstage. There were no significant differences in terms of sex, age, smoking history, surgical procedure, and diabetes. Among 38 patients with nodal upstage, 23 patients had no significant preoperative lymphadenopathy and showed no abnormal FDG uptake in the lymph nodes on 18F‐FDG‐PET‐CT, respectively.ConclusionsLymph node metastases were suspected in patients preoperatively diagnosed with micropapillary adenocarcinoma with FDG SUVmax ≥5 for the primary tumor. Therefore, standard surgical resection and careful lymph node dissection should be performed for such patients.

AbstractBackgroundDysnatremia after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) is well known and has been associated with prolonged pediatric intensive care unit length of stay (PICU‐LOS). Fluctuations in plasma sodium levels occur perioperatively. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of dysnatremia during the first 48 h after surgery and whether it was associated with PICU‐LOS. The secondary aim was to evaluate if the degree of sodium fluctuations was associated with PICU‐LOS.MethodsA retrospective observational, single‐center study including infants undergoing surgery for CHD. The highest and lowest plasma sodium value was registered for the prespecified time periods. PICU‐LOS was analyzed in relation to the occurrence of dysnatremia and the degree of plasma sodium fluctuations. The occurrence of dysnatremia was evaluated in relation to surgical procedure and fluid administration.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty infants who underwent 249 surgical procedures were included. Dysnatremia developed in more than 60% within 48 h after surgery. Infants with normonatremia had a 40%–50% shorter PICU‐LOS among children in RACHS‐1 category 3–6, compared with infants developing either hypo‐ or hyper‐/hyponatremia within 48 h after surgery (p = .006). Infants who had a decline of plasma sodium >11 mmol/L had almost double the PICU‐LOS compared to those with a decline of <8 mmol/L.ConclusionDysnatremias were common after surgery for CHD and associated with prolonged PICU‐LOS. The degree of decline in plasma sodium was significantly associated with PICU‐LOS. Fluid administration both in terms of volume and components (blood products and crystalloids) as well as diuresis were related to the occurrence of dysnatremias.
Neglected epiphytism: Accidental epiphytes dominate epiphytic communities on tree ferns in the Atlantic Forest

Published: December 2021

AbstractVascular epiphytes and tree ferns constitute an important part of the Atlantic Forest structure. We characterized vascular epiphyte communities on two tree fern species (Alsophila setosa Kaulf. and Cyathea phalerata Mart.) including accidental epiphytes (i.e., species that are usually terrestrial, without necessarily completing their life cycle as an epiphyte), which have been overlooked in many previous studies. We aimed to understand epiphytism in terms of distribution, diversity, community composition, and host attributes that affect the richness and abundance of accidental epiphytes. Despite the great species richness of accidental epiphytes, they were—in contrast to true epiphytes—generally low in abundance and heavily represented by singletons and doubletons. We did not identify a difference in accidental epiphytic diversity and composition between host species, implying that both host species provide similar habitats for accidental epiphytes—although some epiphytic species showed a preference for a specific host species and/or stratum. Epiphyte richness and abundance were positively associated with a codependence of host surface area and moisture content, but only for accidental epiphytes. Our study illustrates the importance of two tree fern species as epiphyte hosts in the rainforest understory. It also shows that, although frequently overlooked, accidental epiphytism can be common in the understory of tropical forests and a phenomenon that merits further study in this region.Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.
When friendships surpass parental relationships as predictors of long‐term outcomes: Adolescent relationship qualities and adult psychosocial functioning
Authors: Allen Joseph P. , Costello Meghan , Kansky Jessica , Loeb Emily L. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractPerceptions of adolescent–parent and adolescent–peer relationship qualities, and adolescents’ attachment states of mind were examined as predictors of adult social and romantic relationship quality, depressive symptoms, and work performance. Adolescents (86 male, 98 female; 58% White, 29% African American, 8% mixed race/ethnicity, 5% other groups) were followed from age 13 to 24 via observational, self‐, parent‐, and close friend‐reports. Adolescent close friendship quality was a significantly better predictor of adult peer and romantic outcomes, work performance, and depressive symptoms than parental reports of the parent–teen relationship; attachment security was also a strong predictor of numerous outcomes. Results are interpreted as reflecting the difficulty for parents judging parent–teen relationship quality and as reflecting the growing importance of close friendships during this period.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAimsDeep brain stimulation (DBS) in the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim‐DBS) is the preferred surgical therapy for essential tremor (ET). Tolerance and disease progression are considered to be the two main reasons underlying the loss of long‐term efficacy of Vim‐DBS. This study aimed to explore whether Vim‐DBS shows long‐term loss of efficacy and to evaluate the reasons for this diminished efficacy from different aspects.MethodsIn a repeated‐measures meta‐analysis of 533 patients from 18 studies, Vim‐DBS efficacy was evaluated at ≤6 months, 7–12 months, 1–3 years, and ≥4 years. The primary outcomes were the score changes in different components of the Fahn‐Tolosa‐Marin Tremor Rating Scale (TRS; total score, motor score, hand‐function score, and activities of daily living [ADL] score). Secondary outcomes were the long‐term predictive factors.ResultsThe TRS total, motor, and ADL scores showed significant deterioration with disease progression (p = 0.002, p = 0.047, and p < 0.001, respectively), while the TRS total (p < 0.001), hand‐function (p = 0.036), and ADL (p = 0.004) scores indicated a significant long‐term reduction in DBS efficacy, although the motor subscore indicated no loss of efficacy. Hand‐function (p < 0.001) and ADL (p = 0.028) scores indicated DBS tolerance, while the TRS total and motor scores did not. Stimulation frequency and preoperative score were predictive factors for long‐term results.ConclusionThis study provides level 3a evidence that long‐term Vim‐DBS is effective in controlling motor symptoms without waning benefits. The efficacy reduction for hand function was caused by DBS tolerance, while that for ADL was caused by DBS tolerance and disease progression. More attention should be given to actual functional recovery rather than changes in motor scores in patients with ET.

AbstractBackgroundHand eczema (HE) has a significant impact on patients’ quality of life and work‐related activities. However, little is known about the patients' perspectives on quality of care for HE.ObjectivesTo evaluate the patient perspective of the HE care process in a tertiary referral center.MethodsQualitative, semi‐structured focus groups were carried out, recorded, transcribed, and analysed using an inductive‐deductive thematic approach.ResultsFifteen patients participated in four focus groups. Time and attention, together with being listened to and understood by the health care professional, were the most important aspects of care for HE mentioned by participants. Other aspects of care that were regarded as important were that diagnoses, causes and follow‐up of HE were not always clear to the participant; more psychosocial support was needed, and that participants experienced frequent changes in doctors. Information provided by nurses was valuable, but more individualized advice was needed.ConclusionsTo better meet the needs of patients, more explanation should be given about the causes of HE and the final diagnosis. Besides focusing on the treatment, it is also important to focus on its impact on the patient and options for psychosocial and peer support should be discussed. Furthermore, the beneficial role of the specialized nurse as part of integrated care was emphasized.
