All (economic) politics is local: Voting responses to localized price shocks during the great recession
Authors: Cheung Ron , Meltzer Rachel 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe connection between individual and macroeconomic conditions and voting behavior is well‐established. We contribute to the less resolved “spatial gap” in the literature that centers on how the localized economic conditions of where voters live influence their likelihood to vote. We test how space mediates the tension between voter mobilization and withdrawal in the face of economic shocks. We consider a scenario, the Great Recession, where economic shocks were quite localized and sudden, and compile an extensive dataset of all registered voters in the four‐county Tampa metropolitan area between 2006 and 2015. Using sales prices and property characteristics from the tax assessor rolls, we estimate a neighborhood‐level shock to housing values induced by the Great Recession. Results show that when we do not account for local neighborhood variation, the Great Recession is associated with a significant decrease in voter turnout. However, when we account for localized economic shocks, we find that residents in neighborhoods with negative price shocks were more likely to vote after the Recession, especially in non‐local elections. In addition, the propensity to vote increases with the size of the negative price shock. There is some evidence that variation at the neighborhood level matters more than voter‐level heterogeneity. The positive voting response is most profound in predominantly Black neighborhoods, and, to a lesser extent, in predominantly Hispanic and the lowest income neighborhoods. Increases in the propensity to vote are robust to models controlling for baseline economic vulnerabilities, such as localized unemployment, the weakness of the local housing market and exposure to sectors hit hardest by the Recession. The results indicate that dramatic and sudden changes in localized economic conditions can drive voting behavior, and in ways that are distinct from macroeconomic drivers. In addition, the housing asset channel appears to be a powerful one, which can induce significant voting responses at the national level apart from other localized economic drivers, especially among homeowners.
Correlation of Reaction Time Differences in Naïve vs. Scientific Concept Conflict Task with the Stroop Interference Effect: Exploring the Concepts that “Moving Things are Alive” or “Stationary Things are Not”
Authors: Harada Yuki , Hino Sakura 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTRecent studies have proposed that the automatic activation of naïve concepts, which persist even after learning scientific concepts, must be inhibited to successfully output scientific concepts. This model assumes that individual differences in inhibitory control (IC) within executive functions represent differences in conceptual change. However, the reported correlations between concept conflict and IC tasks are weak, casting doubt on this assumption. This study improves on previous methodologies by focusing on the performance of adult subjects in living and nonliving concept tasks presumed to have successfully achieved conceptual change and quantifying semantic‐level IC through the Stroop interference effect. The results revealed that the correlations between the Stroop interference effect and reaction time (RT) differences between conditions of the concept conflict task, which are assumed to represent the time required to inhibit naïve concepts, were relatively stronger compared with findings reported in previous studies. These findings suggest that individual differences in fluent inhibition of naïve concepts after acquiring scientific concepts align with those in IC, thereby supporting the validity of the inhibition model of naïve concepts.
The intricacies of vegetation responses to changing moisture conditions
Authors: Green Julia K. 
Published: October 2024

SummaryA long‐standing debate looks at whether air or soil dryness is more limiting to vegetation water use and productivity. The answer has large implications for future ecosystem functioning, as atmospheric dryness is predicted to increase globally while changes in soil moisture are predicted to be far more variable. Here, I review the complexities that contribute to this debate, including the strong coupling between atmospheric and soil dryness, and the widespread heterogeneity in vegetation hydraulic traits, acclimations, and adaptations to water stress. I discuss solutions to improve understanding and modeling of vegetation sensitivity to dryness, including how different types of observational data can be used together to gain insight into vegetation response to water stress across spatial and temporal scales.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe aim of this study was to perform a descriptive analysis of oropharyngeal adverse events (AEs) related to drugs and/or vaccines in order to provide useful information for clinicians.MethodsData related to three regions of Italy were analyzed from 2019 to 2021 by using the National Pharmacovigilance database.ResultsAmong overall 67,384 cases, 2773 (4.1%) reported at least one oropharyngeal AE. Most cases referred to females (71.0%) and adults (70.8%). The majority of cases were reported as not serious (68.4%) and the outcome was mainly positive (73.5%). The cases related to drugs (52.2%) were slightly more than those related to vaccines (47.8%), the latter nearly completely represented by COVID‐19 vaccines. Among 3324 oropharyngeal AEs, the most commonly reported were oropharyngeal conditions (65.9%). The most reported AEs related to vaccines were paresthesia oral and oropharyngeal pain, whereas the most reported AEs related to drugs were throat tightness and angioedema. A marked under‐reporting of osteonecrosis of the jaw (2.9%) was observed, despite this risk was well documented in the same country.ConclusionsThis analysis suggested an under‐reporting of oropharyngeal AEs and the need to better train dentists, dental hygienists, and also general practitioners.
Painful Realities: Navigating the Complexities of Head and Neck Cancer Pain
Authors: Byrd Hayden F. , Kohutek Zachary A. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundHead and neck cancer (HNC) and its treatments can cause significant pain, which can profoundly impact patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes. Understanding the full scope of HNC pain is essential for effective management and improved patient care.ObjectiveThis review aims to comprehensively analyze the multifaceted nature of pain experienced by individuals with HNC, including its various etiologies and management strategies.ResultsHNC pain can arise from tumor extent, treatment‐related toxicity, or comorbid conditions. The pathophysiology involves complex interactions between nociceptive, neuropathic, and inflammatory mechanisms. Optimal pain control requires a multimodal patient‐tailored approach utilizing both pharmacological and non‐pharmacological therapies.ConclusionEnhancing our understanding of HNC pain and optimizing its management is imperative for improving the overall well‐being and treatment outcomes of affected individuals. Future research should focus on understanding detailed pain mechanisms, with the goal of developing personalized pain management strategies and exploring novel therapeutic targets. By implementing comprehensive approaches to HNC pain management, healthcare providers can better support patients through their cancer treatment journey.
Fertility Desires and Contraceptive Transition
Authors: Yeatman Sara , Sennott Christie 
Published: October 2024

AbstractFertility desires are fundamental to understanding contraceptive use, yet the relationship between the two remains unclear and is the subject of much debate in demography. To understand the macrolevel relationship between fertility desires and contraceptive transition in low‐ and middle‐income countries, we introduce a conceptual model that articulates the microlevel processes through which a desire to avoid childbearing translates into contraceptive use and reasons for their frequent misalignment. The model calls for a more nuanced understanding of fertility desires, differentiates between the acceptability and accessibility of contraception, and highlights the multilevel forces that shape the costs of fertility regulation. These microlevel processes are key to understanding the evolving role of changes in fertility desires and changes in the implementation of desires on contraceptive transition across time and space. We conclude these relationships are additive, multiplicative, and dynamic over time.
Entomopathogenic Nematodes‐Killed Insect Cadavers in the Rhizosphere Activate Plant Direct and Indirect Defences Aboveground

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTPlants can perceive and respond to external stimuli by activating both direct and indirect defences against herbivores. Soil‐dwelling entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), natural enemies of root‐feeding herbivores, carry symbiotic bacteria that grow and reproduce once inside arthropod hosts. We hypothesized that the metabolites produced by EPN‐infected insect cadavers could be perceived by plants, thereby activating plant defences systemically. We tested this hypothesis by adding three EPN‐infected Galleria mellonella cadavers to maize plants and testing plant responses against a major maize pest (Spodoptera frugiperda) and one of its parasitoids (Trichogramma dendrolimi). We found that S. frugiperda females deposited fewer, and caterpillars fed less on maize plants growing near EPN‐infected cadavers than on control plants. Accordingly, EPN‐infected cadavers triggered the systemic accumulation of defence hormones (SA), genes (PR1), and enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) in maize leaves. Furthermore, four volatile organic compounds produced by plants exposed to EPN‐infected cadavers deterred S. frugiperda caterpillars and female adults. However, these compounds were more attractive to T. dendrolimi parasitoids. Our study enhances the understanding of the intricate relationships within the above‐ and belowground ecosystems and provides crucial insights for advancing sustainable pest management strategies.
“Why did she do that?”: Chinese children's preference for trait‐based explanations of behavior
Authors: Marble Kimberly E. , Boseovski Janet J. , Guan Siyu , Ma Fengling 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe current study addressed the extent to which Chinese children rely on situational characteristics to reason about the causes of valenced behavior (i.e., positive or negative). Specifically, one hundred fifteen 4‐ to 7‐year‐olds from Hangzhou, China, were asked to attribute a character's behavior toward a peer to either that character's traits (e.g., “nice”) or the situation (e.g., being tired and being happy). Across ages, children made trait attributions for both positive and negative behavior but were least likely to do so when information about the character's emotions was available, particularly in congruent valence conditions. In addition, children made an intentionality judgment about whether the character's behavior was accidental or intentional. Overall, children judged positive behavior as intentional but were unsystematic in their judgments of negative behavior. These findings highlight cross‐cultural similarities in children's personal perception and suggest connections between trait and mental state reasoning that may inform strategies for peer relationships.
Frontline Worker Discretion in the For‐Profit Banking Industry: Lessons From Early Pandemic Relief Programming
Authors: Wood Anna K. , Friedline Terri 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTIn April and May 2020, the United States banking industry approved over $650 billion in federal relief funds as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Since then, extensive evidence of discriminatory lending has been revealed by investigative journalism and academic studies. Our study is based on 41 interviews with frontline banking professionals conducted during the days and weeks of the PPP rollout. We find that under the crisis conditions of the pandemic, capped funds in the PPP and built‐in incentives that encouraged certain types of loans, banking employees relied upon the professional norms and logic of the for‐profit sector. We argue that these norms and logics threatened the integrity of the PPP as a public relief programme by applying profit‐oriented priorities to resources marked for universal and fair distribution. Our findings offer new directions for theorising sector‐level differences in street‐level bureaucratic discretion in the context of mixed‐sector collaboration on public service delivery, particularly under conditions of crisis and urgency.
Space–Time Analysis of Refueling Patterns of Alternative Fuel Vehicles Using GPS Trajectory Data and Machine Learning
Authors: Liu Dong , Kan Zihan , Kwan Mei‐Po , Tang Luliang 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThe urgency to combat climate change has led countries worldwide to embrace clean energy solutions across various sectors, including transportation, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This shift is evident in the growing popularity and adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), such as natural gas vehicles and electric vehicles. AFVs have significantly lower carbon footprints compared to conventional petrol‐powered vehicles with internal combustion engines. Consequently, there arises a need to gain a deeper understanding of AFV refueling demand to optimize the distribution of refueling stations. To address this, our research proposes an innovative space–time method that integrates GPS trajectory data with the support vector machine technique to accurately identify and analyze patterns in AFV refueling behavior. The results highlight distinct space–time patterns, notably the clustering of refueling activities in areas like Shuiguohu, Shouyilu, Houhu, Hanshuiqiao, Zhoutou, and Yongfeng around noon, influenced by taxi drivers' breaks. This underscores the importance of increasing staff levels at refueling stations in these areas during peak refueling periods, forming alliances with local eateries, and coordinating taxi shift hours to evenly distribute refueling demand throughout the day, ultimately reducing congestion during peak refueling periods in these areas. The proposed method by this research is applicable to urban contexts worldwide and equips policymakers and planners with a powerful tool for effective planning of future AFV refueling stations.

AbstractBackgroundHematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivorship care includes recommendations for post‐HCT revaccination to restore immunity to vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs). However, not all survivors agree to be vaccinated. No existing studies have comprehensively reported barriers and facilitators to adult HCT survivors completing revaccination.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey of 194 adult HCT survivors was analyzed using convergent mixed methods. The analysis used various statistical methods to determine the prevalence of barriers and facilitators and the association between revaccination and the number and specific type of barriers and facilitators. Content analysis was applied to open‐ended item responses. Integrated analysis merged quantitative and qualitative findings.ResultsThe most frequent barriers included the inability to receive live vaccines because of immunosuppression, identifying a suitable community location for administering childhood vaccines to adults, and delayed immune recovery. The most frequent facilitators were having healthcare insurance and a clear calendar of the revaccination schedule. Complete revaccination rates were lower with each additional reported barrier (OR = 0.58; 95% CI 0.459–0.722) and higher with each additional reported facilitator (OR = 1.31; 95% CI 1.05–1.63). Content analysis suggested that most barriers were practical issues. One significant facilitator highlighted by respondents was for the transplant center to coordinate and serve as the vaccination location for revaccination services. Merged analysis indicated convergence between quantitative and qualitative data.ConclusionPractical barriers and facilitators played a consequential role in revaccination uptake, and survivors would like to be revaccinated at the transplant center.

Published: October 2024

SUMMARYCarrot (Daucus carota) is one of the most popular and nutritious vegetable crops worldwide. However, significant yield losses occur every year due to leaf blight, a disease caused by a fungal pathogen (Alternaria dauci). Past research on resistance to leaf blight disease in carrots has been slow because of the low‐quality genome assemblies of both carrot and the pathogen. Here, we report the greatly improved assemblies and annotations of telomere‐to‐telomere (T2T) reference genomes of carrot DH13M14 (451.04 Mb) and A. dauci A2016 (34.91 Mb). Compared with the previous carrot genome versions, our assembly featured notable improvements in genome size, continuity, and completeness of centromeres and telomeres. In addition, we generated a time course transcriptomic atlas during the infection of carrots by A. dauci and captured their dynamic gene expression reprogramming during the interaction process. During infection, A. dauci genes encoding effectors and enzymes responsible for the degradation of plant cell wall components, e.g., cellulose and pectin, were identified, which appeared to increase pathogenic ability through upregulation. In carrot, the coordinated gene expression of components of pattern‐ and effector‐triggered immunity (PTI and ETI) in response to A. dauci attack was characterized. The biosynthesis or signal transduction of plant hormones, including JA, SA, and ethylene, was also involved in the carrot response to A. dauci. This work provides a foundation for understanding A. dauci pathogenic progression and carrot defense mechanisms to improve carrot resistance to leaf blight disease. The Carrot Database (CDB) developed also provides a useful resource for the carrot community.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesImplementation of national haemovigilance programmes has significantly improved donor and recipient safety. Recently, India completed a decade of successful implementation of its national haemovigilance programmes. The national programme is still enrolling more blood centres. This study aimed to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of Haemovigilance Programme of India (HvPI), thereby providing valuable insights for future initiatives.Materials and MethodsThe National Coordinating Centre (NCC) conducted a multi‐centre, cross‐sectional questionnaire‐based survey among the reporting blood centres (January to April 2022). The survey consisted of three sections with a total of 27 questions focusing on the demographics of the participant blood centre as well as the impact on the recipient and donor haemovigilance. The survey was sent to 733 blood centres regularly reporting to the donor and recipient HvPI through Donor and Hemovigil Software.ResultsTotal 296 responses were received (response rate of 40.4%) with maximum participation of private non‐teaching hospital‐based blood centres (33.8%). After their involvement in recipient HvPI, 85.7% of the respondents reported changes in their blood centre's work procedures, with the maximum improvement seen in the documentation of transfusion reactions (92.7%). Out of the 278 respondents who participated in donor HvPI, 89.9% (250) found that their blood centre's policies or work process changed as a result of their involvement in the programme.ConclusionIn conclusion, our haemovigilance programme facilitates national collaboration for learning and sharing experiences, leading to improved policies and practices in reducing adverse reactions for both recipients and donors.
Annexin A1: a key regulator of T cell function and bone marrow adiposity in aplastic anaemia

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study investigates the role of Annexin A1 (ANXA1) in regulating T cell function and its implications in bone marrow adiposity in aplastic anaemia (AA). Utilizing single‐cell sequencing analysis, we compared bone marrow tissues from AA patients and healthy individuals, focusing on T cell subgroups and their impact on bone marrow pathology. Our findings reveal a significant activation of CD8+ T cells in AA, driven by reduced ANXA1 expression. This heightened T cell activity promotes adipogenesis in bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells via IFN‐γ secretion. Overexpression of ANXA1 was found to suppress this process, suggesting its therapeutic potential in AA treatment. The study highlights ANXA1 as a crucial regulator in the AA‐associated immune microenvironment and bone marrow adiposity.
imageKey points
This study found that ANXA1 is significantly downregulated in AA and provides detailed insights into its critical role in the disease.
The study demonstrates the excessive activation of CD8+ T cells in the progression of AA.
The research shows that the overexpression of ANXA1 can effectively inhibit the activation of CD8+ T cells.
The study confirms that overexpression of ANXA1 reduces the secretion of the cytokine IFN‐γ, decreases adipogenesis in bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells and may improve AA symptoms.
