AbstractIntroductionDespite the growing concern regarding a potential increase in the number of older adults with frailty owing to an aging global population, the characteristics of bimanual coordination in such older adults remain unclear. This study aimed to compare bimanual coordinated movements among community-dwelling older adults with frailty, pre-frailty, and robust health and identify the specific characteristics of these movements in older adults with frailty.MethodsParticipants were divided into frail, pre-frail, and robust groups on the basis of Kihon Checklist scores; they performed in-phase (tapping the thumb and index finger together as fast as possible) and anti-phase (alternating the movement between the left and right fingers) bimanual coordination tasks, and the task parameters were then compared among the groups.ResultsThe total travel distance during the anti-phase task in the frail group was significantly shorter than that in the robust group. However, all three groups showed lower finger dexterity during the anti-phase task than the in-phase task and in the left hand than in the right hand.ConclusionsOlder adults with frailty show less movement in bimanual coordination tasks than robust older adults, suggesting that bimanual coordination tasks may be useful tools for assessing frailty.
Creating Entangled Logical Qubits in the Heavy-Hex Lattice with Topological Codes
Authors: Hetényi Bence , Wootton James R. 
Published: December 2024

Designs for quantum error correction depend strongly on the connectivity of the qubits. For solid-state qubits, the most straightforward approach is to have connectivity constrained to a planar graph. Practical considerations may also further restrict the connectivity, resulting in a relatively sparse graph such as the heavy-hexagonal (“heavy-hex”) architecture of current IBM Quantum devices. In such cases, it is hard to use all qubits to their full potential. Instead, in order to emulate the denser connectivity required to implement well-known quantum error-correcting codes, many qubits remain effectively unused. In this work, we show how this bug can be turned into a feature. By using the unused qubits of one code to execute another, two codes can be implemented on top of each other, allowing easy application of fault-tolerant entangling gates and measurements. We demonstrate this by realizing a surface code and a Bacon-Shor code on a 133-qubit IBM Quantum device. Using transversal controlled-X () gates and lattice surgery, we demonstrate entanglement between these logical qubits with code distance up to d=4 and five rounds of stabilizer-measurement cycles. The nonplanar coupling between the qubits allows us to simultaneously measure the logical XX, YY, and ZZ observables. With this, we verify the violation of Bell’s inequality for both the d=2 case with postselection featuring a fidelity of 94% and the d=3 instance using only quantum error correction.

Authors: Bakken Trine Lise , Hellerud Jane Margrete Askeland , Skaale Svein Eirik , Augustin Monica , Elvehaug Arne-Henrik 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The UKU Side Effect Rating Scale for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities (UKU-SERS-ID) was developed to detect side effects in patients with intellectual disabilities who receive psychotropic medication. The aim of the present study was to examine the frequency and distribution of the side effects of psychotropic medication in persons with intellectual disabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
In all, 100 patients receiving in- and outpatient treatment participated in this study. The UKU-SERS-ID, encompassing 34 items, was scored for all participants at two time points. T1 was the baseline rating, and T2 was scored around two to four weeks after starting on new medication.

Findings
Mean scores on the psychological side effects scale were found to be substantially higher than on any other scale, especially the items tension/inner unrest and depressed mood. The patients most frequently received antipsychotic medication, as well as a combination of antipsychotic and antidepressants or antianxiety medication. The study sample was highly heterogeneous, and missing baseline information prevented assumptions being made about causality. The analyses revealed no increase or decrease from T1 to T2 for the side effects measured in the study group.

Research limitations/implications
Further research is necessary on the association between the side effects and specific groups of psychotropic medication.

Practical implications
The UKU-SERS-ID may be a feasible tool in clinical practice on an individual level.

Social implications
Monitoring of side effects for patients using psychotropic medication.

Originality/value
Studies of side effects from the use of psychotropic medication in people with ID is still sparse. This study may hopefully contribute to an increased interest in this topic.

Published: December 2024

PurposeBased on conservation of resources theory, this study aims to understand how employees’ level of mindfulness serves as a boundary condition capable of negatively conditioning the process through which empowering leadership affects employees’ proactivity and extra-role service (ERS) behaviors.Design/methodology/approachA total of 361 Spanish frontline employees in the hospitality sector collaborated in this research. We tested our hypotheses using a bootstrapping method to perform a regression study employing the PROCESS macro developed for Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).FindingsAs expected, our results confirmed the direct and indirect positive effects between empowering leadership and ERS. However, these effects nearly disappeared when employees exhibited high levels of mindfulness.Originality/valueWorker ERS behavior is a key way for hotels to distinguish themselves from competitors. Paradoxically, ERS is discretionary and not part of the employee’s formal duties. Although mindfulness is often promoted to enhance organizational functioning, our study highlights its drawbacks in hospitality. Hotel work requires proactive decision-making, and we found that mindfulness curbs this, thereby impeding ERS. This study suggests that mindfulness may act as an anchor in a service work environment.
Why do leaders reject employee voice: a job demands-resources and conservation of resources approach

Published: December 2024

PurposeBased on the job demands-resources model (JD-R model) and conservation of resources (COR) approach, this study aims to examine how role overload and leader–leader exchange (LLX) affect leaders’ voice rejection, and explore when the positive relationship between role overload and voice rejection is weakened.Design/methodology/approachThis study used three-wave data from 205 leader–employee pairs and tested the hypothesized moderated mediation model using hierarchical regression and bootstrapping.FindingsResults revealed that two parallel paths influence leaders’ voice rejection. The first path was “LLX → change self-efficacy → voice rejection”, and the second path was “role overload → emotional exhaustion → voice rejection”. LLX weakened the direct relationship between role overload and emotional exhaustion, and weakened the indirect relationship between role overload and voice rejection via emotional exhaustion.Practical implicationsOrganizations need to provide team leaders with additional resources and reduce their workloads to enhance their effectiveness in fulfilling the role of voice managers.Originality/valueThis study provides a comprehensive explanation, according to the JD-R model and COR theory, of how and when job demand and job resource influence leaders’ voice rejection, thereby enhancing our understanding of the formation. It provides new insights into leader voice rejection.

Authors: Chan Pui Yee , Cheah Phaik Kin , Choong Yuen Onn 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis research aimed to investigate how learning-centered leadership influences teachers’ self-efficacy, with a focus on the mediating role of teachers’ professional learning in Malaysian national secondary schools. Given the continuously evolving educational environment and the integration of technology, teachers’ self-efficacy is of utmost importance.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were collected from a sample of 430 secondary school teachers in Malaysia, and the analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe research revealed significant relationships between variables: learning-centered leadership positively related to teachers’ professional learning, which, in turn, positively influences teachers’ self-efficacy. Interestingly, the study found that the direct relationship between learning-centered leadership and teachers’ self-efficacy was not significant. These findings highlight the crucial mediating role of teachers’ professional learning in the relationship between learning-centered leadership and teachers’ self-efficacy.Originality/valueThese findings provide important insights into the factors that enhance teachers’ self-efficacy and competence, especially within the dynamic environment of schools.
Organisational determinants of employees’ affective commitment in pharmaceutical multinationals: mediation by perceived corporate social responsibility
Authors: Ng Angeline , Raghavan Santhi , Ho Jo Ann 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This quantitative study aims to examine the mediating role of perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) between organisational practices and affective commitment. Code of ethics, ethics training, transformational leadership and ethical climate were investigated as factors of perceived CSR.

Design/methodology/approach
This research model was evaluated using structural equation modelling and survey data from 184 employees of Malaysian pharmaceutical multinationals.

Findings
Perceived CSR mediated the relationship between code of ethics, transformational leadership, ethical climate and affective commitment.

Practical implications
The CSR investments aimed at developing an effective ethics programme, transformational leadership practices and ethical climate could improve organisational competitiveness by strengthening employees’ perceived CSR and affective commitment.

Originality/value
The systematic investigation of various organisational controls that establish a corporate environment of ethics and social responsibility sets a precedent for past piecemeal approaches. The existing body of knowledge is based on Western countries, which revealed insights unique to pharmaceutical multinationals in a transitional Asian economy.
Eighteenth‐Century Global Domesticity. The Collection of Don Luigi and Donna Caterina, Spanish Ambassadors
Authors: Viola Valeria 
Published: December 2024

AbstractAs a diplomat of the Spanish crown, Don Luigi Riggio et Branciforte, Prince of Campofiorito, travelled through Europe for 34 years with his wife, Donna Caterina Gravina, bringing with them a vast collection of assorted furnishings. This article explores the connections that the Riggio family interweaved with societies around them and investigates their role as cross‐agents in Sicily. Its intent is to investigate the relationship between their cross‐agency and the materiality around them, by considering the capacity of architecture, as a comprehensive space made of walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, frescoes, and so on, to actively affect people's attitudes and behaviours. The article argues that the eclectic collection, constructing the international trait of the couple, stressed their alignment with both the hybrid taste introduced by the Bourbon monarchs of Spain and the politics underlying this taste.
Geographies of discontent: Public service deprivation and the rise of the far right in Italy
Authors: Cremaschi Simone , Rettl Paula , Cappelluti Marco , De Vries Catherine E. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractElectoral support for far‐right parties is often linked to geographies of discontent. We argue that public service deprivation, defined as reduced access to public services, plays an important role in explaining these patterns. By exploiting an Italian reform that reduced access to public services in municipalities with fewer than 5,000 residents, we show that far‐right support in national elections increased in municipalities affected by the reform compared to unaffected ones. We use geo‐coded individual‐level survey data and party rhetoric data to explore the mechanisms underlying this result. Our findings suggest that concerns about immigration are exacerbated by the reform, and that far‐right parties increasingly linked public services to immigration in their rhetoric after the reform. These demand and supply dynamics help us understand how public service deprivation shapes geographic patterns in far‐right support.

AimsA 42‐year‐old male developed chronic primary hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Conventional therapy led to recurrent nephrolithiasis and therefore rhPTH(1‐84) (parathyroid hormone [PTH]) treatment was considered. According to the dosing guideline for PTH, calcium plasma levels are adequately controlled with once‐daily administration. However, the effect on urinary calcium excretion is only transient and hence does not lower the risk of nephrolithiasis. This raises the question of whether multiple‐daily or continuous administration of PTH is more effective in lowering urinary calcium excretion. We aimed to construct a pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model to answer this question.MethodsA single patient was treated with intermittent PTH followed by off‐label continuous infusion of PTH. PTH was measured in plasma, calcium and phosphate in plasma and urine. A one‐compartment PKPD model for PTH was developed with Edsim++. The effect of PTH was described by the relative clearance of calcium and phosphate.ResultsThe PKPD model for PTH showed visually a marked effect on phosphate clearance, but less on calcium clearance. During the study, the patient also received medication that influenced calcium homeostasis but to a lesser extent phosphate homeostasis. Therefore, phosphate was chosen as the effect parameter, resulting in an EC50 of 6.3 pmol/L PTH.ConclusionsThe PKPD model for PTH was completed with the unique data of a single patient who received PTH according to various dosing regimens, including continuous infusion. Continuous administration of PTH is favoured because it permanently increases the phosphate clearance and therefore needs to be further investigated.

Published: December 2024

SummaryNon‐transfusional iron overload (IOL) in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is poorly documented compared with other red blood cell disorders. We studied 13 HS adults with confirmed IOL to identify potential genetic factors. Using a next‐generation sequencing panel of 46 genes related to HS, anaemia and iron metabolism, we found no association between IOL and the genes involved in HS nor the HFE:p.(Cys282Tyr) variant responsible for hereditary haemochromatosis. However, potential genetic factors contributing to IOL were identified in some patients, including variants in HJV (haemojuvelin), SLC40A1 (ferroportin), PKLR (pyruvate kinase), ABCG5 and ABCB8, highlighting the need for larger studies.

Published: December 2024

AbstractObjectivesIn chronic diseases, there have been issues with low levels of participant adherence and retention during well‐supported lifestyle behaviour change interventional studies. Theoretically informed, the objective was to explore the types of challenges participants are experiencing to inform future designs.DesignWe conducted an exploratory descriptive study in an adult cirrhosis population after the first 4–6 weeks of a 12‐week semi‐supervised nutrition and exercise online program.MethodsParticipants in the parent feasibility study, assessing the nutrition and exercise intervention (Heal‐Me), were eligible for this nested study. Heal‐Me is a multimodal program that is tailorable to a participant's abilities through regular interaction with the study's registered dietician and exercise specialist. Interviews (~60 min) with participants were recorded then analysed descriptively, guided by the capability, opportunity and motivational behaviour change model.ResultsThe 20 participants preferred the expert‐led group online nutrition and exercise classes over independent activities such as protein tracking and the exercise videos. Social gamification (e.g., weekly polls on favourite things like movies or sports teams) contributed to the group experience. All except one person required program tailoring to address preferences, abilities and new onset health events. Findings led to the inclusion of 4 behaviour change techniques to the initial 17, whereas 2 others were expanded.ConclusionsWhile program tailoring, awareness of cirrhosis nutrition and regular interactions with staff influenced participant retention and adherence in the first 4–6 weeks of the online program.
Social trust and formal institutions: How do they shape public debt?
Authors: Bagchi Sagnik , Majumder Sayantan Bandhu 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis research investigates the impact of varying levels of social trust across economies on the development of effective formal institutions that serve to determine public debt. Analysing a sample of 95 economies from 2000 to 2020, our econometric results indicate that social trust is a pivotal determinant of public debt. The effect operates indirectly through the quality of various categories of legal system and property rights indicator. In particular, the results reveal that the relationship between social trust and economic‐judicial institutions are complementary to each other. In addition, we also find that countries with higher social trust tend to reduce their primary deficit in the face of higher debt, thereby reducing the likelihood of uncontrollable debt scenarios.
Time in Hegel's Preface to the Phenomenology
Authors: Sedgwick Sally 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIn the Preface to the Phenomenology, Hegel indicates that the “philosophical” or “scientific” mode of cognition that emerges from the journey of consciousness contrasts with its “mathematical” counterpart which ignores time. The task of this paper is to draw clues from the Preface to the role Hegel assigns temporality in the Phenomenology. The thesis defended is that underlying the rigidity he discovers in mathematical cognition is what he takes to be a mistaken view of the origin of concepts, and an insensitivity to their path. In effect, this insensitivity amounts for Hegel to an ignorance of their temporality.
Chromis tweddlei, a new deep‐water species of damselfish (Pomacentridae) from the Cargados Carajos Bank, southwestern Indian Ocean
Authors: Lisher Mark W. , Viana Sarah T. F. L. , Gon Ofer 
Published: December 2024

AbstractChromis tweddlei, a new species of damselfish, is described from seven specimens, 88.8–111.1 mm standard length (SL), collected during a 2008 expedition by the R.V. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen at 214–219 m depth (an unusually deep occurrence for the genus) on the Cargados Carajos Bank, Mascarene Plateau, southwestern Indian Ocean. Chromis tweddlei sp. nov. closely resembles Chromis axillaris, Chromis pelloura, and Chromis woodsi, the only congeners occurring in the western Indian Ocean (WIO) that share the character of having 14 dorsal‐fin spines and a dark caudal band. Chromis tweddlei sp. nov. can be distinguished from its regional congeners by having II,13–14 anal‐fin rays, 19–20 pectoral‐fin rays, 18–19 tubed lateral‐line scales, 4 scales above lateral line to the origin of dorsal fin, 29–32 total gill rakers, and colouration, including a caudal band that tapers anteriorly the full length of the caudal peduncle. A key to the 14 dorsal‐fin spine species of Chromis from the WIO is provided.

Published: December 2024

AbstractBackground and PurposeFlow diversion has become a key treatment option for complex intracranial aneurysms. Recent advancements include coated flow diverters (FDs), designed to potentially reduce the need for dual antiplatelet therapy, thereby removing the associated secondary risks while maintaining patency and low complication rates. Comparing coated and uncoated FDs may offer insights into long‐term outcomes and treatment optimization.MethodIn this retrospective single‐center study, we investigated the data of 21 consecutive patients with cerebral aneurysms, treated between 2021 and 2023 with the coated Derivo 2heal Embolization Device and the uncoated Derivo Embolization Device (both Acandis). We described the procedure and analyzed clinical and radiological data, along with long‐term outcomes after 18 months of follow‐up.ResultsNine patients (42.9%) had incidental, while 12 (57.1%) had symptomatic aneurysms, including 10 with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies classification IV subarachnoid hemorrhages. Aneurysm locations included mostly the internal carotid (n = 9) and the vertebral artery (n = 7). All FDs were successfully deployed: 11 patients received the coated and 10 the uncoated device. After 18 months, 73.3% of patients had favorable outcomes (modified Rankin Score 0‐2). One coated FD occluded asymptomatically after 6 months, and one uncoated FD occluded immediately but could be recanalized.ConclusionsWe observed favorable occlusion rates for both coated and uncoated FDs. The role of dual antiplatelet therapy remains debated. Large multicenter studies are essential to evaluate the patency of coated compared to uncoated FDs and determine whether they can reduce thrombogenicity, potentially allowing for less or no antiplatelet therapy in emergencies.
