Differentiated reputation effects on trust in ability and dedication: A coproducer selection context
Authors: Chang Chin-Wen , Chuang Cheng-Min 
Published: July 2019

AbstractResearch has demonstrated that trusting belief in one's ability is critical to coproducer selection; however, the importance of trusting belief in dedication has been ignored. This study aims to explore how reputation (i.e., word-of-mouth, certification, and recommendation) affects trusting belief in a potential coproducer's ability and dedication and examines its mediating effects in coproducing with a potential partner.Empirical results show significant mediating effects of trusting belief in a potential coproducer's ability from certification, word-of-mouth, and recommendation, which in turn motivate coproduction, whereas certification leads to the motivation for coproduction through trusting belief in a potential coproducer's dedication. The findings refer to a unitary acceptance of ability but a divergent recognition of dedication. The focal party may regard certification as factual without personal distortion, while the recommendation is an evaluation worth considering. In considering dedication, the focal party may be unable to assess the extent of distortion from second-hand information (e.g., word-of-mouth).
The relationship between ethical leadership and employee voice: The roles of error management climate and organizational commitment

Published: July 2019

AbstractStudies have shown that voice could be utilized as an effective method to improve organizational effectiveness. This study explores the relationship between ethical leadership and employee voice behavior by focusing on the mediating role of the error management climate and the moderating role of the employee's organizational commitment. Analysis of data collected in three phases in China indicates that the error management climate partly mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and voice behavior. Also, organizational commitment is found to moderate the relationship between the error management climate and voice behavior. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

AbstractMeloidogyne paranaensis is responsible for considerable losses in coffee production. Because of the distribution of this species in the main Coffea arabica producing regions, there is a need for management practices to ensure the sustainability of coffee production. In this work, we evaluated the agronomic performance of resistant clones of the Conilon coffee cultivar Vitoria Incaper 8142 in areas infested by M. paranaensis in the west region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Clones 2V, 3V, and 6V presented the lowest number of nematodes per gram of roots and were considered resistant to M. paranaensis. All other clones were considered tolerant to this nematode, and one had good vegetative growth but allowed nematode reproduction. Clones of Vitoria Incaper 8142 of C. canephora represent an alternative to coffee production in areas infested by M. paranaensis including areas traditionally cultivated with C. arabica.
Do as I Say, Not as They Do: Social Construction in the Epistle of Barnabas Through Canonical Interpretation and Ritual
Authors: Yuh Jason N. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractScholars have not yet expounded on the importance and rationale of a key metaphor found in the Epistle of Barnabas: the circumcision of hearing (Barn. 9.1–3). In part, that is because the significance of this metaphor does not directly contribute to the theological outlook or background of Barnabas, which are topics that have largely preoccupied Barnabas scholarship. Yet, not only is this metaphor significant, but its significance lies in its social and communal implications. To explore these implications, I draw upon interdisciplinary research on canon and ritual. Research in these areas has independently demonstrated that canon and ritual are fundamental elements of any group, and I employ theoretical tools from these research areas to explain how Barnabas attempts to create and/or sustain his group by offering a new canon (or canonical interpretation) that could only be understood through the circumcision of hearing. Owing to the theoretical richness of canon and ritual, my study can also serve as a methodological template to examine the dynamics of other communal groups.
The Vow-Curse in Ancient Jewish Texts
Authors: Manekin-Bamberger Avigail 
Published: July 2019

AbstractUttering a vow was an important and popular religious practice in ancient Judaism. It is mentioned frequently in biblical literature, and an entire rabbinic tractate, Nedarim, is devoted to this subject. In this article, I argue that starting from the Second Temple period, alongside the regular use of the vow, vows were also used as an aggressive binding mechanism in interpersonal situations. This practice became so popular that in certain contexts the vow became synonymous with the curse, as in a number of ossuaries in Jerusalem and in the later Aramaic incantation bowls. Moreover, this semantic expansion was not an isolated Jewish phenomenon but echoed both the use of the anathema in the Pauline epistles and contemporary Greco-Roman and Babylonian magical practices.
The Doctrine of the Extent of the Atonement among the Early English Particular Baptists
Authors: Wenkel David H. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis essay challenges the view that the early English Baptists who are often labeled as “Particular Baptists” always held a doctrine of strict particularism or particular redemption. It does so on the basis of the two London Baptist Confessions of 1644 and 1646. The main argument asserted here is that the two earliest confessions of the English Particular Baptists supported a variety of positions on the doctrine of the atonement because they focus on the subjective application of Christ’s work rather than his objective accomplishment. The first two editions of the earliest London Baptist confession represent a unique voice that reflects an attempt to include a range of Calvinistic views on the atonement. Such careful ambiguity reflects the pattern of Reformed confessionalism in the seventeenth century. This paper then goes on to argue that some individuals did indeed hold to “strict particularism”—which is compatible with, but not required by, the first two confessions.
An Origenian Background for theLetter to Theodore
Authors: Zeddies Michael 
Published: July 2019

AbstractTheLetter to Theodoremay need to be reattributed to Origen of Alexandria. Many of its features seem demonstrably Origenian, and its language aligns with early Christian and Origenian usage. Two noncanonical gospel fragments in the letter do not betray a modern author, but rather evoke early Christian symbolism and narrative structure. The single garment worn by a character in the first fragment reflects Christian symbolism and resembles the philosopher’s garment, which many early Christians adopted and portrayed in material artifacts. Origen’s intellectual interests can explain the letter’s preparation for philosophical exegesis, and its language reflects his text-critical practice. Nevertheless, Origen’s circumstances indicate the text of the noncanonical gospel fragments is unreliable. The letter also echoes Papias in the manner that Origen does. Morton Smith’s account of its discovery does not betray a forgery or hoax, but plausibly depends on other nonfiction works of manuscript discoveries written during the 1960s. Further work may be needed to secure attribution, but Origenian authorship is a simpler explanation of the evidence than modern forgery.
A first attempt to evaluate the age and growth of blue hake Antimora rostrata (Moridae, Gadiformes, Teleostei) from the Lazarev and Weddell seas (Antarctic)

AbstractFor the first time, the results of the study of the age and growth of blue hake Antimora rostrata in the waters of the Lazarev and Weddell seas (Antarctic) are presented. The longline catches were represented by fish from 42 to 69 cm in total length with weights between 420 and 2,900 g, and most individuals aged 25 to 27 years. A minimum age of 16 years was observed in a fish 47 cm long and weighing 450 g, while a maximum age of 35 years was recorded for an individual of 69 cm in length and 1,640 g in weight. The blue hake in the Lazarev and Weddell seas shows similar growth patterns to the fish from the Ross Sea and waters off Greenland.

Published: July 2019

AbstractValved bovine jugular vein conduit is considered a suitable choice for paediatric population with congenital heart defect requiring right ventricle to main pulmonary artery connection. However, complications related to the use of this device have been reported, with conduit failure occurring mainly as a consequence of stenosis, conduit thrombosis, and valve regurgitation. We present a case of aneurysmal conduit failure of a valved bovine jugular vein conduit used to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract.
The ‘emancipation of media’: Latin American advocacy for a New International Information Order in the 1970s
Authors: Freije Vanessa 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThroughout the 1970s, journalists and leaders in the Global South organized around the concept of a New International Information Order (NIIO), premised upon the self-determination of news access and production. Though largely forgotten today, the NIIO constituted a key platform of the ‘Third World’ solidarity movement. Latin America was a prominent site for NIIO activism, and this article examines the regional and local meetings that frequently brought together governing officials, reporters, and academics. Focusing on the shifting expectations of exiled Latin Americans living in Mexico City, the article explores the domestic political factors that eventually attenuated enthusiasm for the NIIO. By the late 1970s, Latin American advocates argued that repressive governments could not be trusted to safeguard socially responsible information initiatives, such as regional wire services. Moreover, they underscored that national democratization was necessary before global inequities could be resolved.
Weakening of Triennial Oscillation of the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (at 1° × 1° Gridded Scale) Under Future Global Warming
Authors: Jena Pravat , Azad Sarita 
Published: July 2019

AbstractIndia's agriculture is a significant component of the Gross National Product (GNP) and is largely dependent on the Indian summer monsoon. This makes an accurate prediction of rainfall a key factor in improving agricultural production. A statistical cycle, widely known to have a strong 2.85‐year period and will therefore be called a triennial oscillation here, plays a vital role in such predictions. In the present work, we examine the spatial distribution of this short‐period oscillation at 1° × 1° (lat./long.) resolution using 1,260‐month data (1901–2005). A power spectral analysis of the observed data set shows that the statistically significant triennial oscillation (at 95% confidence level) is present over 54% of the total number of 354 grids across India, which covers 69.03% area. Projections of selected data from models used in Coupled‐Model Inter‐comparison Project Phase 5 predict weakening of this oscillation (in amplitude) by 2100. The projections indicate reduced confidence levels of this oscillation at 80%, 85%, and 90%, respectively, in 3%, 20%, and 62% of the selected 54% grids, which covers 41.3% area. A weakened triennial monsoon cycle will have a severe impact on agriculture and water resource management, particularly over the southwest‐coastal, northern, and northeast‐central parts of India.
Half‐a‐Degree Matters for Reducing and Delaying Global Land Exposure to Combined Daytime‐Nighttime Hot Extremes

AbstractThe Paris Agreement has motivated rapid analysis differentiating changes in frequency/intensity of weather and climate extremes in 1.5 versus 2 °C warmer worlds. However, implications of these global warming levels on locations, spatial scales, and emergence timings of hot spots to extremes are more relevant to policy‐making but remain strikingly under‐addressed. Based on a bivariate definitional framework, we show that compared to 2 °C, the 1.5 °C target could avoid a transition of prevailing type of summertime hot extremes from daytime‐/nighttime‐only events to combined daytime‐nighttime hot extremes in approximately 18% of global continents and protect 14–26% of land areas from seeing over threefold‐to‐tenfold increases in occurrence of combined hot extremes. This half‐a‐degree reduction also matters for around 21% of global lands, mostly within the tropics, in constraining historically unprecedented combined hot extremes from becoming the new norm within just one to three decades ahead. By contrast, previous analyses based on univariate‐defined hot days substantially underestimate the magnitude, areal extent, and emergence rate of 0.5 °C‐caused aggravation of summertime hot extremes. These projected changes of bivariate‐classified hot extremes, therefore, underline not only the imperative but also the urgency of striving for the lower Paris target.
Oceanic Drivers of Widespread Summer Droughts in the United States Over the Common Era

Published: July 2019

AbstractWe examine oceanic drivers of widespread droughts over the contiguous United States (herein pan‐CONUS droughts) during the Common Era in what is one of the first analyses of the new Paleo Hydrodynamics Data Assimilation (PHYDA) product. The canonical understanding of oceanic influences on North American hydroclimate suggests that pan‐CONUS droughts are forced by a contemporaneous cold tropical Pacific Ocean and a warm tropical Atlantic Ocean. We test this hypothesis using the paleoclimate record. Composite analyses find a robust association between pan‐CONUS drought events and cold tropical Pacific conditions, but not with warm Atlantic conditions. Similarly, a self‐organizing map analysis shows that pan‐CONUS drought years are most commonly associated with a global sea surface temperature pattern displaying strong La Niña and cold Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) conditions. Our results confirm previous model‐based findings for the instrumental period and show that cold tropical Pacific Ocean conditions are the principal driver of pan‐CONUS droughts on annual timescales.

Published: July 2019

AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Sorafenib is the standard first-line treatment for advanced HCC, but its efficacy is limited. Apatinib is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising antitumor effects in gastric and non-small cell lung cancers in clinical trials, but there have been only a few studies reporting its anti-HCC effects in vitro and in HCC xenograft models. Hence, our present study systemically investigated and compared the antitumorigenic and antiangiogenic efficacy of apatinib and sorafenib in HCC in vitro and in vivo using multimodality molecular imaging, including bioluminescence imaging (BLI), bioluminescence tomography (BLT), fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI), and computed tomography angiography (CTA). Moreover, the safety and side effects of the two drugs were systemically evaluated. We found that apatinib showed a comparable therapeutic efficacy to sorafenib for the inhibition of HCC. The drug safety evaluation revealed that both of these drugs caused hypertension and mild liver and kidney damage. Sorafenib caused diarrhea, rash, and weight loss in mice, but these effects were not observed in mice treated with apatinib. In conclusion, apatinib has similar antitumorigenic and antiangiogenic efficacy as sorafenib in HCC with less toxicity. These findings may provide preclinical evidence supporting the potential application of apatinib for the treatment of HCC patients.

AbstractPharmacological inhibition of ribosome biogenesis is a promising avenue for cancer therapy. Herein, we report a novel activity of the FDA-approved antimalarial drug amodiaquine which inhibits rRNA transcription, a rate-limiting step for ribosome biogenesis, in a dose-dependent manner. Amodiaquine triggers degradation of the catalytic subunit of RNA polymerase I (Pol I), with ensuing RPL5/RPL11-dependent stabilization of p53. Pol I shutdown occurs in the absence of DNA damage and without the subsequent ATM-dependent inhibition of rRNA transcription. RNAseq analysis revealed mechanistic similarities of amodiaquine with BMH-21, the first-in-class Pol I inhibitor, and with chloroquine, the antimalarial analog of amodiaquine, with well-established autophagy-inhibitory activity. Interestingly, autophagy inhibition caused by amodiaquine is not involved in the inhibition of rRNA transcription, suggesting two independent anticancer mechanisms. In vitro, amodiaquine is more efficient than chloroquine in restraining the proliferation of human cell lines derived from colorectal carcinomas, a cancer type with predicted susceptibility to ribosome biogenesis stress. Taken together, our data reveal an unsuspected activity of a drug approved and used in the clinics for over 30 years, and provide rationale for repurposing amodiaquine in cancer therapy.

AbstractDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most significant complications of diabetes and is the primary cause of end-stage kidney disease. Cumulating evidence has shown that renal inflammation plays a role in the development and progression of DN, but the exact cellular mechanisms are unclear. Irregular expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is present in many diseases, including DN. However, the relationship between lncRNAs and inflammation in DN is unclear. In this study, we identified differentially expressed lncRNAs in DN using RNA-sequencing. Among these lncRNAs, we identified seven DN-related lncRNAs in vivo and in vitro using quantitative real-time PCR. One lncRNA in particular, Rpph1 (ribonuclease P RNA component H1), exhibited significantly increased expression. Further, over-expression or knockdown of Rpph1 was found to regulate cell proliferation and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in mesangial cells (MCs). The results revealed that Rpph1 directly interacts with the DN-related factor galectin-3 (Gal-3). Further, over-expression of Rpph1 promoted inflammation and cell proliferation through the Gal-3/Mek/Erk signaling pathway in MCs under low glucose conditions, while knockdown of Rpph1 inhibited inflammation and cell proliferation through the Gal-3/Mek/Erk pathway in MCs under high glucose conditions. These results provide new insight into the association between Rpph1 and the Gal-3/Mek/Erk signaling pathway during DN progression.
An adaptive variational algorithm for exact molecular simulations on a quantum computer

Published: July 2019

AbstractQuantum simulation of chemical systems is one of the most promising near-term applications of quantum computers. The variational quantum eigensolver, a leading algorithm for molecular simulations on quantum hardware, has a serious limitation in that it typically relies on a pre-selected wavefunction ansatz that results in approximate wavefunctions and energies. Here we present an arbitrarily accurate variational algorithm that, instead of fixing an ansatz upfront, grows it systematically one operator at a time in a way dictated by the molecule being simulated. This generates an ansatz with a small number of parameters, leading to shallow-depth circuits. We present numerical simulations, including for a prototypical strongly correlated molecule, which show that our algorithm performs much better than a unitary coupled cluster approach, in terms of both circuit depth and chemical accuracy. Our results highlight the potential of our adaptive algorithm for exact simulations with present-day and near-term quantum hardware.

AbstractSpins confined in quantum dots are considered as a promising platform for quantum information processing. While many advanced quantum operations have been demonstrated, experimental as well as theoretical efforts are now focusing on the development of scalable spin quantum bit architectures. One particularly promising method relies on the coupling of spin quantum bits to microwave cavity photons. This would enable the coupling of distant spins via the exchange of virtual photons for two qubit gate applications, which still remains to be demonstrated with spin qubits. Here, we use a circuit QED spin–photon interface to drive a single electronic spin in a carbon nanotube-based double quantum dot using cavity photons. The microwave spectroscopy allows us to identify an electrically controlled spin transition with a decoherence rate which can be tuned to be as low as 250 kHz. We show that this value is consistent with the expected hyperfine coupling in carbon nanotubes. These coherence properties, which can be attributed to the use of pristine carbon nanotubes stapled inside the cavity, should enable coherent spin–spin interaction via cavity photons and compare favorably to the ones recently demonstrated in Si-based circuit QED experiments. Our clean and controlled nano-assembly technique of carbon nanotubes in the cavity could be further improved by purified 12C growth to get rid of the nuclear spins resulting in an even higher spin coherence.
