AbstractTuna are globally distributed species of major commercial importance and some tuna species are a major source of protein in many countries. Tuna are characterized by dynamic distribution patterns that respond to climate variability and long‐term change. Here, we investigated the effect of environmental conditions on the worldwide distribution and relative abundance of six tuna species between 1958 and 2004 and estimated the expected end‐of‐the‐century changes based on a high‐greenhouse gas concentration scenario (RCP8.5). We created species distribution models using a long‐term Japanese longline fishery dataset and two‐step generalized additive models. Over the historical period, suitable habitats shifted poleward for 20 out of 22 tuna stocks, based on their gravity centre (GC) and/or one of their distribution limits. On average, tuna habitat distribution limits have shifted poleward 6.5 km per decade in the northern hemisphere and 5.5 km per decade in the southern hemisphere. Larger tuna distribution shifts and changes in abundance are expected in the future, especially by the end‐of‐the‐century (2080–2099). Temperate tunas (albacore, Atlantic bluefin, and southern bluefin) and the tropical bigeye tuna are expected to decline in the tropics and shift poleward. In contrast, skipjack and yellowfin tunas are projected to become more abundant in tropical areas as well as in most coastal countries' exclusive economic zones (EEZ). These results provide global information on the potential effects of climate change in tuna populations and can assist countries seeking to minimize these effects via adaptive management.

AimsXp11 rearrangement in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) typically involves gene fusion to the gene encoding transcription factor E3 (TFE3), a member of the microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor family on chromosome Xp11.2. Dual‐colour break‐apart fluorescence in‐situ hybridisation (FISH) is recommended to confirm histological diagnoses. Recently, RNA‐binding motif protein 10 (RBM10), encoded by a gene on chromosome Xp11.3, was identified as a chimeric partner of TFE3; thus, RBM10–TFE3 fusion results from paracentric inversion. RBM10–TFE3 RCC may yield a false‐negative result in FISH analysis of TFE3 expression. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinicopathological features of RBM10–TFE3 RCC.Methods and resultsTen patients with RBM10–TFE3 RCC aged 31–71 years were investigated. Histological analysis, immunostaining, dual‐colour break‐apart FISH for TFE3, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analysis were performed. No patient had a history of exposure to chemotherapy. Two of these patients died of RCC, and three were alive but developed metastases. Microscopically, the tumours were composed of a mixed architecture of tubulocystic and papillary patterns with scattered psammoma bodies. The tumours showed strong nuclear immunoreactivity for TFE3. FISH showed consistent closely spaced split signals in the RCCs of four patients, and polysomic signals with occasional closely spaced split signals in the RCCs of six patients. Of the latter six patients, five had renal failure, and four developed tumours in kidneys subjected to haemodialysis.ConclusionsThe present study suggests that the carcinogenesis of RBM10–TFE3 RCC in some, but not all, patients may be associated with chronic kidney disease. The aggressive nature of RBM10–TFE3 RCC should be considered, as five patients experienced metastases.

Abstract

Ecological citizen science initiatives are growing in popularity with the increasing realisation of the potential for occurrence records to contribute information on biodiversity. Citizen science data are, however, justifiably criticised for misidentification, uneven sampling, incomplete detection or selective reporting.

Here, we test the accuracy of citizen science data for UK social wasp (Vespinae) species’ distributions. We compared data collected over 2 weeks by members of the public setting out baited traps across the UK and sending captured specimens for expert identification [1294 locations; 6680 wasps; three dominant species Vespula vulgaris (44%), Vespula germanica (44%) and Vespa crabro (6%)], with a four‐decade long‐term data set established by the Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society (BWARS).

The citizen science data were significantly less spatially biased than the long‐term data, but they were more urban‐biased. Species distribution modelling showed that, for Vespa crabro, just 2 weeks of citizen science generated coverage comparable to more than four decades of expert recording.

Overall, we show that citizen science can be an extremely powerful and robust method for mapping insect diversity and distributions. We suggest that cautious combination of citizen science data with long‐term expert surveying could be a highly reliable method for monitoring biodiversity.

AbstractThis study evaluated the influence of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on the consumer quality of legume sprouts. The probiotic‐rich sprouts were produced by soaking the seeds in probiotic water suspension and further sprouting at 25 °C for 4 days. The enrichment of the sprouts with L. plantarum 299v only slightly affected the sensory quality ‐ the overall acceptability of the probiotic‐rich sprouts was usually higher. The probiotic‐rich sprouts exhibited increased activity of polyphenol oxidase (the highest activity in the mung bean preparations ‐ 73.97 U mg−1 of protein). The peroxidase activity was not altered. The probiotic enrichment increased the phenolic content by 25%, 31% and 23% in the soybean, adzuki and mung bean preparations; however, it was not reflected in the antioxidant activities. The changes in the activity of enzymes involved in mobilisation of stored material (starch and proteins) and the increased content of phenolics only slightly modified the bioavailability of nutrients.
Combining cognitive and noncognitive predictors and impact on selected individual demographics: An illustration
Authors: Bradburn Jacob , Schmitt Neal 
Published: March 2019

AbstractResearch presented illustrates the impact on the demographic makeup of selected applicants when using a composite of cognitive predictors for selection compared to a composite of cognitive and noncognitive predictors. A large sample of American college applicants was used to simulate selection across a wide range of selection ratios using the two composites. Selection rates for Black individuals generally increased and Asian American selection rates generally decreased when the cognitive and noncognitive composite was used compared to the use of the cognitive composite. Results demonstrate that adding noncognitive predictors to a selection process utilizing cognitive predictors can have some beneficial impact on selection rates for some demographic groups, but does not eliminate the detrimental impact resulting from using cognitive predictors for some minority groups.
Employee perceptions of climate as an antecedent of time banditry in the workplace
Authors: Brock Baskin Meagan E. , McKee Victoria 
Published: March 2019

AbstractTime banditry has recently been introduced as a distinct construct in the organizational behavior literature. An employee is engaged in time banditry when he or she pursues nontask‐related activities during work time (i.e., chatting with a co‐worker or surfing the web). This study examines the novel concept of time banditry and the impact of climate on its prevalence in the workplace. Climate is a direct reflection of how employees feel about where they work, and is postulated to have a direct effect on engagement in time banditry behaviors. Results provide evidence that employee perceptions of process, policies, and satisfaction as they relate to the job climate are positively related to engagement in time banditry. Thus, when climates promote positive feelings at the job level, employees actually engage in more time banditry behavior. However, no significant relationship was found between time banditry and climate perceptions at the team or the organizational level.
Implications of Collection of Excessive Brokerage Fees for Migrant Workers in the Domestic Care Sector in Israel

AbstractThis research examines the implications of excessive brokerage fees collection for migrant workers in the domestic care sector in Israel. The findings reveal that migrant workers are forced to pay much higher brokerage fees than is permitted by Israeli law. These fees are are mainly financed by loans. Thus, workers are forced to devote a significant portion of their monthly income in Israel to repaying these loans. The research also examines the possibility of reducing the collection of excessive brokerage fees by signing bilateral agreements, with the countries of origin, which allow the state to supervise the recruitment process. Such agreements have already been implemented in the construction and agriculture sectors in Israel. The first agreement in the domestic care sector, signed in September 2018 with the Philippines, will apparently be implemented in the near future, and might solve some of the problematic issues addressed in this research.

AbstractMicrovesicles (MVs), which are cell‐derived membrane vesicles present in body fluids, are closely associated with the development of malignant tumours. Saliva, one of the most versatile body fluids, is an important source of MVs. However, the association between salivary MVs (SMVs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which is directly immersed in the salivary milieu, remains unclear. SMVs from 65 patients with OSCC, 21 patients with oral ulcer (OU), and 42 healthy donors were purified, quantified and analysed for their correlations with the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of OSCC patients. The results showed that the level of SMVs was significantly elevated in patients with OSCC compared to healthy donors and OU patients. Meanwhile, the level of SMVs showed close correlations with the lymph node status, and the clinical stage of OSCC patients. Additionally, the ratio of apoptotic to non‐apoptotic SMVs was significantly decreased in OSCC patients with higher pathological grade. Consistently, poorer overall survival was observed in patients with lower ratio of apoptotic to non‐apoptotic SMVs. In conclusion, the elevated level of SMVs is associated with clinicopathologic features and decreased survival in patients with OSCC, suggesting that SMVs are a potential biomarker and/or regulator of the malignant progression of OSCC.
Childhood gender‐typed behavior and emotional or peer problems: a prospective birth‐cohort study
Authors: Warren Anna‐Sophia , Goldsmith Kimberley A. , Rimes Katharine A. 
Published: March 2019

BackgroundRetrospective and cross‐sectional studies often report associations between childhood gender nonconformity and greater emotional and peer difficulties. This study used the ALSPAC birth cohort to investigate relationships between childhood gender‐typed behavior and peer and emotional problems throughout childhood and adolescence.MethodsA total of 11,192 participants had at least one measure of parent‐rated gender‐typed behavior in infancy; 7,049 participants had a measure of child‐rated gender‐typed behavior at 8.5 years. Separate linear mixed regression models were fitted to assess whether parent‐rated and child‐rated gender‐typed behaviors were associated with emotional and peer problems across childhood and adolescence (6–16 years old). The effect of adding covariates (self‐esteem, abuse, bullying, feeling accepted by peers, and feeling different) on these relationships was assessed.ResultsFor boys, more gender‐nonconforming behavior was associated with greater subsequent emotional and peer problems in childhood and adolescence. Adjusting for self‐esteem, relational bullying victimization, feeling different, or feeling accepted by peers reduced some of these associations. In contrast, for girls, more gender‐nonconforming behavior was associated with fewer emotional problems in childhood and adolescence. In girls, self‐reported gender‐nonconforming behavior was also associated with fewer parent‐rated peer problems but parent‐rated gender‐nonconforming behavior was associated with more parent‐rated peer problems; this latter association was partly explained by self‐esteem, bullying, and abuse victimization. These associations were statistically significant but small.ConclusionsOverall, more female‐typical behaviors were generally associated with greater subsequent emotional and peer problems, for both boys and girls. Future studies should investigate factors that reduced these associations, as well as potential negative effects of female‐typical behaviors or advantages of male‐typical ones. As this was a 14‐year longitudinal study, the relationships between gender‐role behaviors and emotional/peer problems warrant further research despite the small association sizes.

AbstractBackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease defined by recurrent nodules, tunnels and scarring involving the intertriginous regions. Recent next‐generation sequencing (NGS) studies suggest genera such as Prevotella spp., Peptoniphilus spp. and Porphyromonas spp. are associated with chronic and early HS lesions. However, a systematic investigation of the bacterial microbiome in HS tunnels remains unexplored using NGS.ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the bacterial composition of the luminal white gelatinous material found in HS tunnels using NGS.MethodsAn exploratory study of patients with diagnosis of HS (n = 32) with tunnels. The tunnels were present either in the groin (n = 17) or in the axilla (n = 15). During deroofing of the tunnels, a sterile E‐swab was taken of the luminal gelatinous material. The samples were investigated using NGS targeting 16S ribosomal RNA.ResultsThe skin microbiome was characterized in 32 HS patients. Overall, five microbiome types were identified: Porphyromonas spp. (type I), Corynebacterium spp., (type II), Staphylococcus spp. (type III), Prevotella spp. (type IV) and Acinetobacter spp (type V). Porphyromonas spp. (type I) and Prevotella spp. (IV) were the most frequent genera found the tunnels.ConclusionThis study points to a potential association between the presence of certain anaerobic bacteria (Porphyromonas spp., Prevotella spp.) and HS tunnels. It may be speculated that these two genera are associated with the pathogenesis in HS either as drivers or as biomarkers.
The truth and beauty of chemical potentials

Published: March 2019

AbstractThis essay in honour of Mike Brown addresses aspects of chemical equilibrium and equilibration in rocks, with a focus on the role that chemical potentials play. Chemical equilibrium is achieved by diffusive flattening of chemical potential gradients. The idea of equilibration volume is developed, and the way equilibration volumes may evolve along a pressure–temperature path is discussed. The effect of the environment of an equilibration volume is key to understanding the evolution of the equilibration volume with changing conditions. The likely behaviour of equilibration volumes is used to suggest why preservation of equilibrium mineral assemblages and mineral compositions from metamorphism tends to occur. This line of logic then provides the conceptual support to conventional equilibrium thermodynamic approaches to studying rocks, using, for example, thermobarometry and pseudosections.
Board Committees in Corporate Governance: A Cross‐Disciplinary Review and Agenda for the Future

Published: March 2019

AbstractThe importance of board committees – specialized subgroups that exist to perform many of the board's most critical functions, such as setting executive compensation, identifying potential board members, and overseeing financial reporting – has grown over time due to increased legal requirements and greater complexity of the environment in which firms operate. This has resulted in a large body of work examining board committees across the accounting, finance, and management disciplines. However, this research has developed rather independently within each discipline, preventing scholars and practitioners from developing a comprehensive understanding of board committees. To address this issue, we conduct a comprehensive review of the literature that: 1) summarizes and synthesizes antecedents and outcomes associated with board committees in publicly‐traded firms in English common law countries; and 2) offers a critical analysis of existing research, providing recommendations for advancements and new directions in board committee research.
Shutting the door on death: Low openness individuals become less open (to death) following mortality reminders
Authors: Boyd Patrick , Goldenberg Jamie L. , Morris Kasey Lynn , Puryear Curtis 
Published: March 2019

AbstractObjectiveWe examine if individuals low in openness cope with death reminders (i.e., mortality salience) by becoming less open and more avoidant of death.MethodIn Study 1, openness was measured before and after a mortality salience manipulation (N = 128; Mage = 35.82; 54.7% male; 85.2% Caucasian). In Study 2, we measured openness, manipulated mortality salience, and measured implicit avoidance of death‐related words using a lexical decision task (N = 162; Mage = 20.58; 72.8% female; 43.8% Caucasian). We predicted that for low, but not high, openness individuals, mortality salience would further decrease openness and increase the speed of responses aimed at avoiding death.ResultsFor low openness individuals, mortality salience decreased openness scores (Study 1) and caused faster avoidance responses toward death‐related words. High openness individuals demonstrated slower avoidance responses (Study 2).ConclusionsA spiraling effect may occur where mortality salience causes low openness people to become even less open, and avoid death, positioning them to respond defensively.
Pre‐ to post‐inpatient treatment of subjective sleep quality in 5,481 patients with mental disorders: A longitudinal analysis

Published: March 2019

AbstractThere is only limited evidence of the course of sleep quality and sleep disturbances during acute inpatient treatment and the prediction of/association with treatment outcome in mental disorders. Within this naturalistic study, 5,481 consecutively admitted inpatients completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI‐II) at admission and at discharge. Treatment included both individual and group psychotherapy (but no specific interventions for sleep disturbances) and pharmacotherapy based on current national treatment guidelines. Correlation analyses, analyses of variance and linear models were calculated to analyse the datasets. The PSQI improved significantly (p < 0.001) from admission (mean score 9.51 [±4.11]) to discharge (mean score 8.08 [±4.20]) in all diagnostic subgroups. Despite this improvement, 47% of the patients still showed elevated PSQI scores (>5) at discharge. Patients with post‐traumatic stress disorder showed the largest sleep disturbances at both time‐points; patients with obsessive‐compulsive disorder were the least impaired. An improvement of the PSQI was found to be significantly correlated (p < 0.001) to the change of BDI‐II values (without the sleep item) during treatment. The likelihood of achieving remission of depressive symptoms (BDI‐II total score <14) was significantly associated with less sleep disturbances at admission. The results suggest that almost half of inpatients with mental disorders treated successfully with state‐of‐the art specific psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy do not have remission of their sleep problems. Therefore, specific treatment programmes for insomnia should be evaluated and implemented in daily clinical routines.

SummaryTomato stress‐associated proteins (SAPs) belong to A20/AN1 zinc finger protein family, some of which have been shown to play important roles in plant stress responses. However, little is known about the functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of SAPs in plant immune responses. In the present study, we reported the function of tomato SlSAP3 in immunity to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000. Silencing of SlSAP3 attenuated while overexpression of SlSAP3 in transgenic tomato increased immunity to Pst DC3000, accompanied with reduced and increased Pst DC3000‐induced expression of SA signalling and defence genes, respectively. Flg22‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst and expression of PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) marker genes SlPTI5 and SlLRR22 were strengthened in SlSAP3‐OE plants but were weakened in SlSAP3‐silenced plants. SlSAP3 interacted with two SlBOBs and the A20 domain in SlSAP3 is critical for the SlSAP3‐SlBOB1 interaction. Silencing of SlBOB1 and co‐silencing of all three SlBOB genes conferred increased resistance to Pst DC3000, accompanied with increased Pst DC3000‐induced expression of SA signalling and defence genes. These data demonstrate that SlSAP3 acts as a positive regulator of immunity against Pst DC3000 in tomato through the SA signalling and that SlSAP3 may exert its function in immunity by interacting with other proteins such as SlBOBs, which act as negative regulators of immunity against Pst DC3000 in tomato.
