The Incomplete Transmutation of Feeling: Female Platform Drivers' Negotiation and Resistance to Emotional Labour in China's Ride‐Hailing Industry
Authors: Kwan Haley 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis article contributes to the scholarship of the gig labour process and gendered emotional labour and enriches the theorisation of emotional labour and alienation and Marxist feminist platform studies in transportation platforms. Focusing on Chinese female platform drivers' lived experience, this study conducts Chatnography and ‘chat’ interviews with 40 Chinese female Didi drivers, from November 2020 to June 2022. First, this article highlights how communication technologies and social reproduction processes complicate the emotional disciplinary process in China's ride‐hailing industry. Second, this study unveils the gender logic of emotional labour in China's transportation platforms, such that women's double identities as a platform driver and digital labour are intertwined in the gig labour process, resulting in the unprecedented human costs of gendered and sexualised emotional labour, such as self‐alienation and estrangement. Third, this study argues that the transmutation of emotion is an incomplete, antagonistic, and contradictory process in China's ride‐hailing industry. On the one hand, women worker's consciousness is contextualised in the social reproduction process. Care activities for children create an antagonistic force to combat gendered emotional labour on ride‐hailing platforms. On the other hand, the affordances of communication technologies energise individual and collective resistance to gendered and sexualised emotional labour.

AbstractPurposeThe Predicting Myopia Onset and progression (PreMO) risk indicator, developed using data generated from white children in the UK, incorporates age, spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL) and parental myopia to stratify the likelihood of developing myopia. This study evaluated the PreMO's predictive accuracy using prospective datasets from independent samples of children in Hong Kong (HK) and an ethnically diverse cohort of children in the United Kingdom.MethodsNon‐myopic children (SER > –0.50 D) aged 6–8 and 9–10 years were scored using the PreMO risk indicator framework, integrating baseline cycloplegic SER, AL and parental myopia data. Scores were assigned risk categories as follows: 0 = no risk, 1–3 = low risk, 4–6 = moderate risk and 7–9 = high risk. SER at ≥15 years of age was used to define refractive outcomes as ‘myopic’ or ‘not myopic’.PreMO's predictive accuracy was analysed via Receiver Operator Characteristic curves, with Youden's J‐Index identifying the optimal risk score threshold. Sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve were determined and compared with those of singular predictors, that is, SER < +0.75 D and AL ≥ 23.07 mm at 6–8 years.ResultsIn the cohort of children aged 6–8 years, a PreMO risk score ≥ 4 exhibited high sensitivity in predicting myopia onset in UK (0.97) and HK (0.94) children, with high specificity in UK (0.96) and moderate specificity in HK (0.64) children. In UK children aged 6–8 years, the PreMO outperformed singular predictors such as SER and AL. Among HK children aged 9–10 years, the PreMO score maintained high sensitivity (0.90) and moderate specificity (0.72).ConclusionsA PreMO risk score ≥ 4 is a strong predictive indicator for future myopia onset, particularly in UK children. Despite high sensitivity in both UK and HK cohorts, specificity varied, indicating the need for contextual application of the tool, particularly in pre‐myopic Asian children.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTStrawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) is an important crop in the United States. In this study, we analysed strawberry trials established across 7 years and two locations. Our objective was to estimate genetic parameters and predict breeding values for yield. Linear mixed models were used for unbalanced data across years and locations and study the genotype by year and location interactions. The results suggested significant differences between cultivars for fruit weight but not for total and marketable yield. Fruit weight was controlled by genetic factors, shown by the high heritability of cultivar means (0.93), whereas marketable yield and total yield showed lower heritability estimates (0.48 and 0.63, respectively), indicating a substantial environmental influence. For fruit weight, cultivars exhibited stability across years and locations, supported by the high additive genetic correlations observed for cultivar‐by‐year (r = 0.90) and cultivar‐by‐location interactions (r = 0.98). Fruit weight and total yield were genetically independent as suggested near zero additive genetic correlation (−0.06 ± 0.416) between two traits, and they should be considered for an index selection in the strawberry breeding strategy.

ABSTRACTIncreasing warming, atmospheric CO2 and drought are expected to change the water dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, limited knowledge exists about how the interactive effects of these factors will affect grassland water uptake, and whether adaptations in fine root production and traits will alter water uptake capacity. In a managed C3 grassland, we tested the individual and combined effects of warming (+3°C), elevated CO2 (eCO2; +300 ppm) and drought on root water uptake (RWU) as well as on fine root production, trait adaptation, and fine root‐to‐shoot production ratios, and their relationships with RWU capacity. High temperatures, amplified by warming, exacerbated RWU reductions under drought, with negligible water‐sparing effects from eCO2. Drought, both under current and future (warming, eCO2) climatic conditions, shifted RWU towards deeper soil layers. Overall, RWU capacity related positively to fine root production and specific root length (SRL), and negatively to mean root diameters. Warming effects on traits (reduced SRL, increased diameter) and the ratio of fine root‐to‐shoot production (increased) were offset by eCO2. We conclude that under warmer future conditions, irrespective of shifts in water sourcing, it is particularly hot droughts that will lead to increasingly severe restrictions of grassland water dynamics.

ABSTRACTPlant growth can be promoted by beneficial microorganisms, or inhibited by detrimental ones. Although the interaction process between a single microbial species and its host has been extensively studied, the growth and transcriptional response of the host to soil microbiota is poorly understood. We planted maize in natural or sterile soil collected from a long‐term experimental site with two different soil phosphate (P) regimes. We examined the composition of microbial communities inhabiting root‐associated niches in natural soil. In parallel, we determined the biomass, ionomes, and root transcriptome profiling of maize grown in natural or sterile soil. Soil microbiota could promote or inhibit different P starvation‐responsive (PSR) genes, as well as induce several defense‐related metabolic processes independently of external P levels. Soil microbiota accompanied by long‐term application of P fertilizer induced lower intensity of PSR and defense responses, inhibiting maize growth. Under a low P regime, the PSR and defense responses were induced to a higher extent, promoting P absorption and growth. Our findings suggest a soil P‐dependent effect of microbiota on maize growth by integrating PSR and defense responses and provide a more refined understanding of the interaction between root growth and soil microbiota.

Published: November 2024

Coastal marshes vulnerable to sea‐level rise may benefit from sediment amendments to increase elevation. However, nutrient‐loading to estuaries may counter elevation gain through reduced root production and/or increased decomposition. Here, we test if belowground plant productivity, root decomposition, and marsh accretion response to nutrient‐loading differs with sediment addition in three marsh types: a healthy intermediate salinity marsh, a deteriorating brackish marsh, and a created marsh in Barataria Basin, Louisiana, United States. In this region, wetland loss is rapid, and a major restoration project is underway to introduce Mississippi River water, sediment, and nutrients to offset marsh loss. Porewater nutrient concentrations, vegetation structure, belowground productivity and decomposition, and accretion rates were measured over 450 days. Experimental nitrate additions yielded high porewater ammonium‐N concentrations in the Deteriorating marsh but had a smaller effect in Healthy and Created marshes. Belowground productivity in the Deteriorating marsh was neutral to negatively affected by nutrient and sediment treatments, whereas positive effects occurred in Healthy and Created marshes. Despite elevation increase from sediment treatments, and substantial effects of nutrient treatments on porewater nutrient concentrations, belowground decomposition and surface accretion rates were not affected by treatments. Sediment deposition increased species richness in the Healthy marsh and added sediment and added nutrients with sediment increased plant height in the Created and Deteriorating marshes, respectively. Over the timescale measured, experimental sedimentation and pulsed nutrient input had few consistent effects on belowground ingrowth, decomposition, or surface accretion. Our findings highlight that response to nutrient pulses are complex and depend on baseline marsh conditions.

AbstractAimThis study aimed to describe self‐assessed clinical gerontological nursing competence and its associated factors among licensed practical nurses.DesignA descriptive cross‐sectional design was adopted for the study.MethodsData were collected in Autumn 2023 from 394 licensed practical nurses working in healthcare services for older people in one well‐being services county in Finland. The nurses, recruited through convenience sampling, were surveyed using a 40‐item self‐assessment clinical gerontological nursing competence instrument (on a Likert scale from 1 = poor to 5 = excellent). Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyse the results.ResultsParticipants mainly assessed their clinical gerontological competence as good. Competence in using assistive devices to support functional ability was assessed as very good, while competence in postoperative wound care was assessed as the weakest. Participants working in 24‐h services assessed their competence as the weakest among the three clinical gerontological nursing areas. Participants under 40 years of age with 5–10 years of work experience self‐assessed statistically significantly stronger competence in disease‐specific nursing than those over 40 with less work experience.ConclusionThe self‐assessed competence of licensed practical nurses varies across different service and care units. Competence in wound care requires more focus and education in the future. Attention should also be paid to competence development in different educational areas, for example, through continuous education and competence development models. The results could facilitate licensed practical nurses' competence development and management in clinical gerontological nursing. The study's insights can also guide allocating resources and education to ensure high‐quality care in different service areas.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIn the context of unexpected disasters, comprehending individual decision‐making strategy is essential for governmental policy formulation and evacuation planning. The main challenges stem from the absence of large‐scale mobility data and the complex influences of multiple factors on personal strategies. To address this, this study focuses on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan as a case, which struck at 14:46 on March 11, a typical working day. Decision‐making strategies regarding how people return home from their workplaces have emerged as a primary concern. Therefore, we construct a large human mobility database for the Greater Tokyo area, and develop an empirical prediction for decision‐making strategies following earthquakes with the consideration of multiple factors. Except for users' location‐based information, we extract the grid‐based stay areas from historical stay records (normal days before disasters) and discover the functions of these areas combined with points of interest located within them. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of our proposed framework in strategy prediction. Besides, we conduct an explainable feature importance analysis of key factors, which also provides insights for understanding human decisions during disasters.

ABSTRACTTransportation mode recognition reveals the traveling patterns of urban residents and plays an important role in travel analysis and city planning. Research has been done to identify transportation modes using deep learning methods. However, large‐scale and far‐ranging labeled trajectory data are hard to acquire, which hinders the training and application of supervised models. In this study, we propose a self‐supervised method for trajectory transportation modes recognition. First, we construct sequence and dependency graph for trajectory points. Next, we apply mask and remask strategy to graph node features to enhance its learning ability in semantic information. Notably, in order to learn features without labeled data, we introduce graph autoencoder into the framework. This method is able to learn the sequence and dependency feature reconstruction of the travel paths. It can obtain underlying semantic information with the mask and remask strategy. We applied our model to GPS trajectory dataset from the Microsoft GeoLife Project, achieving an average accuracy of 68.26% in identifying the transportation modes among seven categories. The result indicates that the proposed method offers a solution to identifying transportation modes without abundant labeled data. This method can also help to extract space–time features at different scales from trajectory data, which could be applied to various downstream tasks.

SUMMARYThe drought‐induced protein 19 (Di19) gene family encodes a Cys2/His2 zinc‐finger protein implicated in responses to diverse plant stressors. To date, potential roles of these proteins as transcription factors remain largely elusive in maize. Here, we show that ZmDi19‐7 gene exerts pivotal functions in regulation of plant height and organ growth by modulating the cell size in maize. ZmDi19‐7 physically interacts with ubiquitin receptor protein ZmDAR1b, which is indispensable in ubiquitination of ZmDi19‐7 and affects its protein stability. Further genetic analysis demonstrated that ZmDAR1b act in a common pathway with ZmDi19‐7 to regulate cell size in maize. ZmDi19‐7, severing as a transcriptional factor, is significantly enriched in conserved DiBS element in the promoter region of ZmHSP22, ZmHSP18c, ZmSAUR25, ZmSAUR55, ZmSAUR7 and ZmXTH23 and orchestrates the expression of these genes involving in auxin‐mediated cell expansion and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, our findings demonstrate that ZmDi19‐7 is an important newfound component of the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway in regulation of plant height and organ size in maize. These discoveries highlight potential targets for the genetic improvement of maize in the future.
The landscape of Arabidopsis tRNA aminoacylation

SUMMARYThe function of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) depends on enzymes that cleave primary transcript ends, add a 3′ CCA tail, introduce post‐transcriptional base modifications, and charge (aminoacylate) mature tRNAs with the correct amino acid. Maintaining an available pool of the resulting aminoacylated tRNAs is essential for protein synthesis. High‐throughput sequencing techniques have recently been developed to provide a comprehensive view of aminoacylation state in a tRNA‐specific fashion. However, these methods have never been applied to plants. Here, we treated Arabidopsis thaliana RNA samples with periodate and then performed tRNA‐seq to distinguish between aminoacylated and uncharged tRNAs. This approach successfully captured every tRNA isodecoder family and detected expression of additional tRNA‐like transcripts. We found that estimated aminoacylation rates and CCA tail integrity were significantly higher on average for organellar (mitochondrial and plastid) tRNAs than for nuclear/cytosolic tRNAs. Reanalysis of previously published human cell line data showed a similar pattern. Base modifications result in nucleotide misincorporations and truncations during reverse transcription, which we quantified and used to test for relationships with aminoacylation levels. We also determined that the Arabidopsis tRNA‐like sequences (t‐elements) that are cleaved from the ends of some mitochondrial messenger RNAs have post‐transcriptionally modified bases and CCA‐tail addition. However, these t‐elements are not aminoacylated, indicating that they are only recognized by a subset of tRNA‐interacting enzymes and do not play a role in translation. Overall, this work provides a characterization of the baseline landscape of plant tRNA aminoacylation rates and demonstrates an approach for investigating environmental and genetic perturbations to plant translation machinery.
Places as refrains: A non‐constructive alternative to assemblage thinking
Authors: Merriman Peter 
Published: November 2024

AbstractOver the past 20 to 30 years, relational, post‐humanist, processual, and non‐representational approaches to space and place have gained an increasing purchase within anglophone human geography, whether underpinned by academic engagements with Western philosophy, anthropology, or indigenous thinking and praxis. One approach by anglophone geographers has been to incorporate assemblage thinking into constructivist and representational accounts of the building, settling, and/or disassembling of places, but here I argue that assemblage may not be the best way to do this if we wish to foreground process and the dynamism of places. Assemblage theories place too much emphasis on the structural logics and thing‐like qualities of identifiable places, even when they aim to focus on the processual or verb‐like qualities of places. I suggest that geographers who are keen to advance processual and dynamic understandings of place can usefully (re)focus their attention on Deleuze and Guattari's writings on the ritournelle (refrain) because they articulate many of the rhythmic, repetitive, differentiated, intensive, affective, eventful, and performative qualities of placing and emplacement, while resisting any easy assimilation into constructivist and representational ‘building’ perspectives which foreground the assembly and disassembly of worlds. I outline the usefulness of Gilbert Simondon's writings on individuation and crystal growth for understanding individual‐milieu relations, before discussing Deleuze and Guattari's description of the refrain as being like a ‘glass harmonica’, which captures the reverberative, refractive, and rhythmic aspects of the concept. I then revisit a series of well‐established debates about the relationship between place and placelessness, or places and ‘non‐places’, suggesting how placelessness and non‐places can be linked to either a failed process of individuation or to uneventful expressions of a series of circulating, deterritorialising, and territorialising refrains which have differing rhythmic effects.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the clinical presentation and diagnosis of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis in a weanling miniature donkey jack.Case SummaryA 5‐month‐old miniature donkey jack presented to a tertiary care facility for fever, cough, and increased respiratory rate and effort initially unresponsive to treatment with antimicrobials and anti‐inflammatories. Clinical and diagnostic evaluations found no evidence of upper respiratory obstruction or bacterial pneumonia. Serial arterial blood gas evaluations revealed hypercapnia and hypoxemia, and diagnostic imaging was consistent with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. The patient's nasal swab for equine influenza type A (subtype H3N8) was positive and had a mildly decreased whole blood selenium concentration. The donkey recovered after treatment with anti‐inflammatories and supportive care.New or Unique Information ProvidedThis case documents the first report of diaphragmatic paralysis in a donkey, with concurrent equine influenza infection offering a possible causal factor. Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis should be considered as a differential diagnosis for respiratory distress in donkeys, particularly when diagnostic testing or treatment trials do not support more common causes of respiratory disease in adult animals, such as infectious lower airway disease, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis.
