School ties and evaluation outcomes: Evidence from the Korean Basketball League
Authors: Choi Hoon , Kim Seik 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper investigates whether evaluation outcomes are influenced by private information and subjective biases when appraisers and appraisees are socially connected. In the Korean Basketball League, school ties between referees and players are commonplace because a large proportion of referees were previously basketball players. Using data from six basketball seasons, we analyze the degree to which referees' decisions are affected when players and referees attended the same school. Our results suggest that players who play under referees with school ties are called for fewer fouls. We also find that the results are driven mainly by high school ties.
Early‐life threat and deprivation: Are children similarly affected by exposure to each?

Published: October 2024

AbstractExtensive evidence documents negative consequences of adversity for children's development. Here, we extend such work by looking beyond average effects to consider variation in susceptibility to both threat and deprivation in terms of cognitive and social–emotional development, using an influence‐statistic methodology. Data come from the ongoing Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (N = 14,541, 49.1% female, age range: 6 month to 12 year, race and ethnicity: 97.8% white, 0.4% black, and 0.6% other). With respect to anticipated associations of threat with problem behavior and of deprivation with cognition, results of this pre‐registered research revealed that a roughly equal proportion of children proved to be susceptible in a domain‐general manner (similarly influenced) and a domain‐specific one (dissimilarly influenced). Implications for intervention are considered.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThe rate of discovery and increased understanding of genetic causes for neurodevelopmental disorders has peaked over the past decade. It is well recognised that some genes show marked variability in neuroradiological phenotypes, and inversely, some radiological phenotypes are associated with several different genetic conditions. However, some readily recognisable brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns, especially in the context of corresponding associated clinical findings, should prompt consideration of a pathogenic variant in a specific gene or gene pathway. As these conditions can often prove challenging to diagnose, a clinical suspicion of a specific disorder may be invaluable to guide and interpret genetic testing. This review focuses on five neurogenetic syndromes with recognisable brain findings that radiologists, paediatric neurologists, geneticists, and other specialists involved in neurodevelopmental disorders should be able to recognise in order to pinpoint the gene or gene groups involved and delve into their molecular mechanisms. The comprehensively reviewed conditions include DDX3X‐related neurodevelopmental disorder, Van Maldergem syndrome, NMDAR‐related disorders, EML1‐associated disorder and ARFGEF2‐related periventricular nodular heterotopia with microcephaly.

SummaryPlatypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) are an endemic Australian freshwater mammal, impacted by synergistic threats across their range. During the extreme drought of 2017–2019, declining water levels threatened Platypus at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve (TNR), Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia. TNR supports a population of Platypus, occupying interconnected ponds within a predator proof fence. During drought conditions in 2019, Platypuses could not move out of the fenced area to refugia as floodgates were closed due to low water levels. In winter of 2019, eight Platypuses were found deceased resulting from starvation. By December, water levels were extremely low and ponds were continuing to dry. Given these circumstances, a rescue intervention was undertaken to capture stranded Platypuses. They were temporarily relocated and housed at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, until they were returned when conditions at TNR improved. Seven Platypuses were rescued, with five successfully housed at Taronga for 5 months. One Platypus was lost after escaping from its enclosure and another Platypus died when trapped in a crevice. The Platypuses were returned after water levels increased at TNR and were monitored for 500 days post‐release, demonstrating successful repatriation. This case study outlines the key stages and considerations required for this intervention, providing critical information for rescue attempts on drought‐affected Platypus populations. There is a need to continue developing a decision framework for interventions of climate‐affected populations, including quantifying trigger thresholds and conservation prioritisation of populations. This will become increasingly necessary given the trajectories of habitat degradation, coupled with the increasingly frequent and severe droughts, expected under anticipated climate change scenarios.
How far should adjacent pan traps be placed for bee sampling?
Authors: McKinney Matthew , Karimzadeh Roghaiyeh , Park Yong‐Lak 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAmong several methods of active and passive sampling bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea), pan traps, also known as bee bowls, are commonly utilized for their efficiency and as a means of avoiding collector bias. When comparing pan‐trap samples using traditional statistical methods, the assumption of independence among samples needs to be met. To determine the necessary distance between pan traps to obtain independent samples, we investigated spatial dependence in bee catches using pan traps at four sites. At each site, a regular grid of pan traps was laid out, with each sample having two colors of fluorescent trap (i.e. blue and yellow). These trap pairs were separated by 10 m, with 100–109 points in the grid. In addition, five points within the grid were chosen randomly, and an additional 40 traps were placed at 2 m and 4 m from the five sample points to sample bees at a minimum 2 m trap distance. Traps collected bees for five consecutive days and bees were counted for each point and each trap color. Bee count data were analyzed using geostatistics to determine the spatial dependency in trap catches for yellow traps, blue traps, and both colors combined. The highest value of the range parameter of the semivariogram found across the four sites and pan trap colors was 17 m for blue traps. From this, we recommend a conservative minimum distance of 17 m between adjacent pan traps to obtain spatially independent samples for optimizing sampling plans when independent samples are necessary.
Reducing Consumer–Brand Incongruity Through Corporate Social Responsibility and Brand Trust: Exploring Negative Word‐of‐Mouth (NWOM)
Authors: Tosun Petek , Cagliyor Sandy Ipeker , Gürce Merve Yanar 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTDrawing upon consumer–brand disidentification theory and balance theory, this study examines symbolic and ideological incongruity in consumer–brand relationships through an original conceptual model shaped by negative past experiences, brand trust, perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR), and negative word‐of‐mouth (NWOM). A preliminary study was conducted to explore the dimensions of consumers' negative past experiences by topic detection. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling was undertaken to analyze online consumer reviews (n = 6095) about a coffee chain brand. The dimensions detected in this preliminary study were included in the research model and further analyzed in the main study. The main study, a cross‐sectional consumer survey (n = 522), tested the original research model by way of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) on SmartPLS. The findings showed that negative past experiences consisted of product‐related, service‐related, and technology‐related problems and negatively influenced brand trust. It was found that brand trust and perceived CSR negatively affected symbolic and ideological incongruity, while symbolic and ideological incongruity positively influenced NWOM. The findings provide empirical evidence for balance theory by showing that the three critical domains of consumer–brand relationships (ideological, symbolic, and experiential) provide a complex cognitive model that covers personal‐symbolic and moral‐societal aspects of consumer–brand disidentification and consequent NWOM intentions. In line with consumer–brand disidentification theory, the results contribute to the literature by demonstrating the direct negative impacts of brand trust and perceived CSR on symbolic and ideological incongruity, as well as the direct positive impacts of symbolic and ideological incongruity on NWOM.
Low‐temperature bubble formation in silica glass
Authors: Aaldenberg E. M. , Hufziger K. T. , Tomozawa M. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractPhase separation was observed in silica glass following low‐temperature heat treatment in high water vapor pressure through the formation of bubbles. Although the 6 day diffusion treatment in saturated water vapor pressure at 250°C does not normally cause phase separation, the reactive fracture surface and subsurface damage caused by polishing with cerium oxide (CeO2) allowed for an increase in water absorption during treatment and heterogeneous nucleation of the bubbles at damaged sites. The sub‐surface damage, characteristic of blunt contact damage, was only revealed when the polished sample was etched. The formation of bubbles and polishing damage were observed in two silica glasses—one containing chlorine impurities and the other containing OH impurities. Raman spectra collected after fracture or polishing and water diffusion treatment demonstrated an increase in the abundance of –OH species including silanol (SiOH) groups and an evolution in the glass structure in the bubble regions compared with the bubble‐free regions. These results indicate an increase in the reactivity between water and glass fracture surfaces relative to the bulk.

AbstractDuring vitrification of radioactive wastes, excessive foaming reduces processing rates within melters by hindering heat transfer from the molten glass pool to the reacting melter feed. Formulations of low‐activity waste (LAW) melter feeds, for vitrification at the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant at the Hanford Site, conventionally include the addition of sucrose to mitigate excessive foaming by hastening the denitration process. However, incomplete combustion of sucrose produces organics such as acetonitrile (C2H3N) that may exceed bounding limits of downstream effluent treatment facilities. Using boron nitride (BN) as an alternate reductant to sucrose, in a representative LAW melter feed reduced C2H3N production by 90% by preventing the low‐temperature sucrose–nitrate reactions. Furthermore, foaming was suppressed due to the higher decomposition temperature of BN than H3BO3 meaning a delayed reaction of a large fraction of boron with the transient glass‐forming melt until above the foam onset temperature, thus reducing the quantity and viscosity of the connected melt and trapping less gas in the foam layer.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTAimTo explore the stakeholders' perspectives and develop a conceptual framework for promotion strategies to implement the iSupport‐based intervention for family caregivers of people with dementia.DesignA descriptive qualitative design was adopted.MethodsSemi‐structured interviews were conducted with 49 stakeholders of people with dementia from July to December 2023. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research was applied to guide the development of the interview guide, data collection and analysis. Directed content analysis was employed to identify facilitators and barriers, with data analysed based on the framework and the established its codebook. These findings were then summarised into a conceptual framework of critical components.ResultsThe identified 16 barriers and 28 facilitators were distributed across all Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research domains. All facilitators and barriers were integrated into a conceptual framework guiding the implementation of iSupport. This four‐tier, eight‐component conceptual framework guides the global promotion of the web‐based dementia care model, covering state, society, hospitals, individuals and strategies. The components included comprehensive and balanced national medical guidelines, a friendly social culture, adequate hospital collaboration, cooperative healthcare workers, responsible family caregivers, a comprehensive intervention system, appropriate learning content and digital health support.ConclusionThe ‘iSupport for Dementia’ program is seen positively for its potential to improve dementia care by providing mental and technical support to family caregivers. Successful implementation requires addressing barriers, enhancing facilitators and adapting to China's conditions and policies. Mobilising local healthcare resources and gaining stakeholder recognition is crucial. This approach may help develop a localised version of iSupport that suits the needs and habits of Chinese family caregivers, with the potential for broader dissemination.ImpactThe ‘iSupport for Dementia’ program could greatly improve dementia care in China by addressing barriers and utilising facilitators. This study offers critical insights for future policy development and effective implementation strategies.Reporting MethodAdherence to the COREQ guidelines for reporting qualitative research was maintained.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTAimTo summarise the barriers and facilitators to the clinical implementation of perineal techniques and to provide evidence‐based insights for decision‐making based on existing research.DesignA scoping review.Data SourcesNine electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, ProQuest, CNKI, WanFang, VIP and SinoMed) were systematically searched on 4 February 2024.Review MethodsThis study followed Joanna Briggs Institute's scoping review methodology. The barriers and facilitators identified in the included studies were mapped to the domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR): intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals and process.ResultsA total of 18 studies were finally included and analysed. The most frequently identified facilitator was theoretical education for midwives (inner setting). Common barriers included: lack of time to implement perineal techniques (intervention characteristics); labour pain and women's stress due to insufficient understanding of the birthing process, as well as women's reluctance to receive the perineal techniques (outer setting); risk factors for OASIS (inner setting); insufficient theoretical education for midwives and inadequate prenatal education for pregnant women (inner setting) and concerns about potential medical disputes among performers (characteristics of individuals).ConclusionsMany of the factors influencing the implementation of perineal techniques identified in this review are modifiable. Developing implementation strategies based on these factors can promote the successful implementation of these perineal techniques in clinical settings.Implications for the ProfessionThis scoping review could serve as a reference framework for health authorities in developing strategies to promote the use of perineal techniques in clinical practice.ImpactExisting research has primarily focused on the outer setting, inner setting and characteristics of individuals implementing perineal techniques. Therefore, there is a need for more high‐quality studies focusing on intervention characteristics and the implementation process.Reporting MethodThis study followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews.Patient and Public ContributionNot applicable.
Exploring the Challenges of Context in Accessing Mental Health Support in Rural New Zealand: A Case Study Approach
Authors: Ferris‐Day Philip , Harvey Clare , Minton Claire , Donaldson Andrea 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis paper explores the complexities that impact access to mental health services in rural New Zealand. Historical, cultural, social and political factors will be examined against the philosophical positioning of Foucault and Fairclough.Study DesignThis research is a single‐embedded case study design exploring participants' discourses in the context of a rural, bounded geographical area of New Zealand.ResultsThe results show that mental health support that addresses people's actual needs rather than the needs that governments map against ever‐changing policy is required and that an awareness of context within case study research is important.DiscussionThe process of case study design is described, including building upon a rationale for selecting the case, collecting data and conducting case analysis and interpretation. This study examines factors influencing the real‐life rural context of accessing mental health support. This article demonstrates that case‐study research can be valuable for navigating context complexity and developing nuanced understandings of complex phenomena.ConclusionThe paper highlights how the multifaceted case study context is more than mapping discourses against a rural backdrop. It is necessary to consider the power dynamics that shape experiences and their impact on service creation and its consequent delivery.Implications for Research Policy and PracticeRather than services being created that are complex and not meeting people's needs, there is a need to listen to the people who have experienced mental health distress and provide services and support in locations other than clinical settings.
Papilla Access Tunnel Combined With the Laterally Closed Tunnel: A Technique for Treatment of Deep Gingival Recession in the Anterior Mandible
Authors: Allen Edward P. , Murphy Kevin G. , Sculean Anton 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveTreatment of gingival recession in the anterior mandible is more complex due to unique anatomic features including excessive tension due to frenal and muscle attachments, thin tissue, shallow vestibule, and narrow interdental space. These features are particularly limiting in the presence of deep recession and negatively impact the success most routine soft tissue grafting procedures. The recently proposed laterally closed tunnel combined the benefit of tension management from tunneling rather than incising papillae with lateral closure of deep recession to minimize the need for coronal advancement.Clinical ConsiderationsThis is an effective, although technically demanding procedure. This report presents a method of facilitating tunnel preparation by utilizing superficial papillary access incisions bilaterally in the papilla between the lateral incisor and canine. This papilla has the least tension and most robust interdental volume and blood supply. This incision creates a mini flap that facilitates tunnel dissection and graft placement.ConclusionBecause the mini flap is used for graft insertion, the suturing for lateral closure can be performed before graft insertion. The result is reduced technical difficulty.
Data quality assessment of aggregated LCI datasets: A case study on fossil‐based and bio‐based plastic food packaging
Authors: Carlesso Anna , Pizzol Lisa , Marcomini Antonio , Semenzin Elena 
Published: October 2024

AbstractEnvironmental impacts resulting from plastic food packaging, made from both fossil‐based and bio‐based polymers, are increasingly analyzed in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. However, the literature reveals significant variations in results for the same polymer within the same scope. To enhance the reliability of these assessments, data quality assessment (DQA) plays a relevant role. However, despite most of the LCA studies employing aggregated life cycle inventory (LCI) datasets, in the literature, DQA methods for aggregated processes are not available. To fill this gap, in this paper, a DQA for aggregated LCI datasets is proposed and demonstrated through its application to 101 aggregated LCI datasets, extracted from Ecoinvent and GaBi databases. The DQA method has been developed by adapting and integrating the pedigree matrix and the data quality ranking proposed by the recently published EC Plastic LCA method. The three data quality indicators (DQIs) used are technological, geographical, and time‐related representativeness. The application of this method exhibits an overall positive evaluation of the selected datasets with differences among the three DQIs. Moreover, it highlights the role of metadata structure in adequately supporting a robust DQA. Indeed, in the absence of a common framework that defines, assesses, and provides access to data quality information, transparency must be assured by the operator in the metadata interpretation and related assumptions along the DQA process. Finally, although the proposed DQA method was developed for the plastic sector, its application can be extended to LCI aggregated datasets relevant to other sectors, materials, and products.
Costs of Adjustment, Portfolio Separation, and the Dynamic Behavior of Bank Loans and Deposits – Revised
Authors: Sigmund Michael , Wächtler Johannes 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe revise the solutions of the dynamic optimization model of Elyasiani, Kopecky, and Van Hoose (1995), and show that the optimal policy function for the case of adjustment costs and no portfolio separation is a vector autoregressive model of order 1, and not of order 2. In addition, the empirical approach of Elyasiani, Kopecky, and Van Hoose (1995) is incorrect. The optimal policy functions for the no portfolio separation case have to be estimated with a panel vector autoregression model and not with a simultaneous equation approach. We also describe how the portfolio separation hypothesis can be tested empirically based on the correct policy functions.
