Quantum cognition in management research: A novel methodological framework with an application to causal ambiguity
Authors: Mastrogiorgio Antonio , Mastrogiorgio Mariano , Felin Teppo , Kauffman Stuart 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe propose a novel methodological framework based on the emerging field of quantum cognition and illustrate its application to a central problem in management and strategy research: causal ambiguity. The current literature often assumes that causal ambiguity—the difficulty of managers to understand the causal link between resources and outcomes at the basis of a firm's performance—can be reduced through learning. This literature overlooks the fact that causal ambiguity reduction is impossible when causal systems exhibit so‐called complementary properties. Building upon quantum cognition—specifically the idea of complementarity as an alternative to causality—we illustrate that causal ambiguity is only a special case of ambiguity and we offer a novel methodological framework to model what we label as ‘acausal ambiguity’, which refers to the insurmountable limit of managers to achieve causal ambiguity reduction. Managers can, of course, cognize some causal links. However, this comes at the price of being agnostic about complementary ones. The implications of this novel methodological framework applied to causal ambiguity are twofold: while complementarity opacifies the attentional faculties of managers, it also accounts for the cognitive origins of novelty.
Notice the comment? Chinese government responsiveness to public participation in the policymaking process

Published: October 2024

AbstractWe investigate government responsiveness in the notice and comment process, a prominent instrument of consultative authoritarianism through which policy is made in contemporary China. We conduct an extensive data collection effort, assembling draft policies, public comments, and government responses for more than one thousand instances of notice and comment policymaking over a 17‐year period. Our statistical analysis demonstrates both the promise and limitations of consultative authoritarianism in the context of the notice and comment process. Government responsiveness in salient policy areas and to lengthy and critical comments demonstrates that public scrutiny matters to policymakers. These patterns are consistent with the notion that autocrats seek to remain in power not only through repression but also by bolstering exchanges of information between state and society. Central government ministries, however, are relatively unresponsive, indicating that significant aspects of policymaking are not characterized by robust attention to public sentiment and information.

AimsDiagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) with mild mucosal changes is difficult for all parties involved. We aimed to determine the power of T cell receptor (TCR)γδ+ intra‐epithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in discriminating CD from other causes of intra‐epithelial lymphocytosis using a new monoclonal antibody.MethodsA total of 167 cases categorised as coeliac (117 untreated CD, classified according to Marsh, updated by Ensari, including 29 type 1, 29 type 2, 39 type 3 and 20 treated CD), and non‐coeliac groups (24 controls and 26 non‐coeliac IELosis) based on clinical, serological and histological data were studied for IEL counts enumerated per 100 enterocytes using haematoxylin and eosin, CD3, TCR δ‐stains.ResultsTCRγδ+ IELs were significantly higher in CD (24.83 ± 16.13) compared to non‐CD (6.72 ± 6.32) and were correlated with the degree of mucosal damage. Both γδ+ IEL count and ratio showed higher performance in differentiating untreated coeliacs from controls, with a sensitivity of 83.76; 85.57 and specificity of 95.83; 79.17, respectively. TCRγδ+ IEL counts distinguished type 1 CD (20.41 ± 13.57) from non‐coeliac IELosis (9.42 ± 7.28) (p = 0.025). Discriminant analysis revealed that villus/crypt ratio, γδ+ and CD3+ IEL counts, γδ+/CD3+IEL ratio, IEL distribution pattern were potent discriminants and correctly classified 82.3% of cases while the algorithm accurately diagnosed 93.4% of cases.ConclusionsThe new antibody detecting γδ+ IELs in FFPE sections revealed thresholds of 10.5 for γδ+ IELs and 14% for γδ+/CD3+IEL ratio which distinguished coeliacs from non‐coeliacs with high sensitivity and specificity, particularly in cases with normal villus/crypt axis including type 1 CD, non‐CD IELosis and controls. A ‘coeliac algorithm’ based on γδ+ IELs is proposed with the hope that it will be used in the histopathological diagnostic approach by the pathology community.
Guidelines for Bibliometric‐Systematic Literature Reviews: 10 steps to combine analysis, synthesis and theory development
Authors: Marzi Giacomo , Balzano Marco , Caputo Andrea , Pellegrini Massimiliano M. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe steady increase in academic production has been paralleled by a surge in the number of bibliometric and systematic literature reviews (SLRs) published. Over the years, scholars began to combine bibliometric analyses with SLRs. However, such combined approaches relied on fragmented methodological suggestions without clear guiding frameworks. This article introduces integrated guidelines for undertaking multi‐method literature reviews, combining bibliometric analyses with SLRs and theory development, which we call ‘Bibliometric‐Systematic Literature Review’ (B‐SLR). In doing so, we develop a 10‐step process on how to apply the B‐SLR. In each of the proposed steps, we discuss critical decisions and best practices to support researchers while crafting meaningful and theoretically relevant literature reviews. The B‐SLR is intended as a flexible toolbox designed to accommodate diverse research objectives in the miner–prospector continuum, spanning from reviewing, theorising, tracing future roadmaps or creating bridges among different topics. The B‐SLR incorporates the pillars of critical analysis, timeliness, coverage, rigour, coherence and originality of contribution, also emphasising the need for a novel and relevant theoretical contribution. The B‐SLR is supported by a companion website, providing additional resources to assist researchers in this 10‐step process: https://www.b‐slr.org.
Assessing the relevance of the concept of political corporate social responsibility in management research
Authors: Di Nardo Marie , Brulhart Franck , Vieu Marion 
Published: October 2024

AbstractShould we still use the concept of political corporate social responsibility (PCSR) in management research? In response to recent and significant challenges in the management literature regarding the relevance of PCSR as a concept, we conduct a review of the literature in the field. We combine a bibliometric analysis and a qualitative content analysis to assess the use of the concept of PCSR between 2005 and 2022. We contribute to the PCSR literature in four ways: First, we map the field of PCSR in order to develop an objective understanding of the concept. Second, we demonstrate that PCSR exhibits the features of a concept, and that current research has begun to address some of the significant challenges that question its relevance. Third, we identify the four pillars at the base of the concept and uncover a fifth pillar: the dynamic perspective of PCSR. Last, we propose research directions to strengthen the PCSR concept and enrich its contributions to theory and practice.

AbstractThe objective of the study was to compare outcomes in patients with complete surgical resection versus partial resection of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (OM). A post hoc analysis of 171 patients with OM was performed using data from two randomized clinical trials. OM was confirmed with bone culture or histopathology. Surgical culture specimens were obtained from resected bone and sent for histopathology and microbiology. Residual osteomyelitis (RO) was defined as a positive resected margin on culture or histopathology. No residual osteomyelitis (NRO) was defined as no growth from bone culture and no histopathological inflammation in the biopsy of the resection margin. Data from the 12‐month follow‐up were used to determine clinical outcomes. During the index hospitalization, NRO patients had significantly shorter duration of antibiotic therapy (NRO 21.0, 13.0–38.0 vs. RO 37.0, 20.8–50.0, p <0.01) and more amputations than patients with RO (NRO 89.9% vs. RO 60.9%, p <0.01). During the 12‐month follow‐up, patients with NRO also had significantly shorter duration of antibiotic therapy (NRO 42, 21.0–66.5 vs. RO 50.5, 35.0–75.0, p = 0.02). During the 12‐month follow‐up, there was no difference in ulceration at the same site (NRO 3.7%, RO 4.3% p = 0.85), hospitalization (NRO 32.6%, RO 34.8%, p = 0.76), total re‐infections (NRO 25.3%, RO 29.3%, p = 0.56), re‐infection with osteomyelitis (NRO 13.3% vs. 13.5%, p = 0.36), amputation (NRO 8.8%, RO 5.4%, p = 0.86) and time to wound healing in days (NRO 94, 41.0–365 vs. RO 106, 42.8–365, p = 0.77). Successful treatment of osteomyelitis was achieved by 86.7% and 86.5% of patients. During the index hospitalization, patients with no residual osteomyelitis had more amputations and were treated with antibiotics for a shorter duration. During the 12‐month follow‐up, patients with no residual osteomyelitis had shorter durations of antibiotics. There were no differences in re‐infection, amputation, re‐ulceration or hospitalization.Level of evidence: 1

Published: October 2024

AbstractProducing ceramic parts by Vat Photopolymerization (VPP) additive manufacture with desired mechanical properties typically requires time‐consuming debinding steps. This study aims at optimizing composition and processing parameters with the use of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in the resin formulation and debinding in an argon atmosphere for dental zirconia‐toughed alumina (ZTA). The method produces parts with fewer defects, and 67.7% higher flexural strength while increasing the debinding heating rate over 400% compared to standard formulations debinded in air. These improvements are attributed to pore formation at low temperatures and reduced heat release and gas evolution rates arising from use of the DBP and the inert atmosphere, respectively. While ZTA ceramics were studied, this method should be applicable to many ceramic systems with exciting possibilities for promoting the rapid development of VPP 3D‐printed high‐performance ceramics for various engineering applications.
Clarifying early period hydration process of ultra‐low W/B cementitious composite subjected to underwater circumstance

Published: October 2024

AbstractAn innovative method is proposed in this study that combines long sequence precision prediction model with experiments to study how early hydration affects ultra‐low water‐binder ratio cementitious composite (ULWBRCC) properties. To be specific, by using heat release and degree of hydration as variables and introducing various temporal models to analyze the early hydration process, the micro‐ and macroscopic properties of specimens at different ages are assessed in detail. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: The long‐sequence accurate time series model can predict the earliest hydration process of underwater ULWBRCC, and the predicted late‐stage hydration pattern matches the experimental results. The underwater environment optimizes ULWBRCC's hydration process and increases its early compressive strength by 19.6%. The hydration of ULWBRCC is predicted using a time series model in the paper, filling the gap of uncertainty in the earliest performance of underwater rapid repair cement‐based composite materials, and the MSE of the Informer is improved by 92.88% compared with other models.
Debts of Gratitude in Cross‐Cultural Perspective: Confucian and Western Ethics
Authors: Tsai George , Choo Lok Chui 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThis article examines the contrasting conceptions of gratitude in Early Confucian and Western philosophy. It focuses on a key difference: the presence of the notion of ‘debts of gratitude’ in Western thought and its absence in Confucianism. We explore how this difference is rooted in contrasting ethical outlooks and values. Western philosophy often conceives of gratitude as a duty of reciprocation, furthering the values of social equality and individual autonomy. By contrast, Early Confucians viewed gratitude as proper acknowledgement that strengthens social relationships that are part of an ongoing collective project, spanning generations. This view reflects the importance of values such as community, harmony, and ritual propriety in Confucianism. Unlike the Western context, in the Early Confucian social world, there was no role for ‘debts of gratitude’ to play. There were no Confucian values that ‘debts of gratitude’ would help to realize, or would be responsive to, in the way that debts of gratitude further the values of equality and independence in the West. We conclude by noting that some Western philosophers express ideas about gratitude in collaborative contexts that align with Confucian ideas, suggesting some shared elements between Confucian and Western ethical outlooks.

AbstractSparisoma species (parrotfish) comprise an important functional group contributing to coral‐reef resilience. The morphological diagnostic characteristics for species identification are clearly described for adult forms but not for the early stages. Consequently, many taxonomical listings of Sparisoma larvae are restricted to the genus level. The aims of this study are to determine whether the morphological and molecular identification techniques are useful to assign the species taxonomic level to Sparisoma larvae occurring in the Gulf of Mexico and whether there is a set of diagnostic features that could be used to discriminate between species in larvae of different developmental stages. Morphological assignment of Sparisoma was performed based on morphological and meristic features for 30 larvae collected in the Gulf of Mexico from late August to mid‐September 2015. To corroborate and complement the morphological assignments, molecular identification was carried out using DNA sequences from regions of two mitochondrial genes, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtDNA COI) and mitochondrial 16S rRNA (mtDNA 16S rRNA). COI and 16S gene trees for Sparisoma and related fish taxa were constructed using sequences available in the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) GenBank and BOLD (Barcode of Life Data) databases. Two morphotypes were identified based on morphology, but no diagnostic characteristics for species discrimination were found. Molecular identification, in contrast, successfully discriminated four early development stages of Sparisoma atomarium, three stages of Sparisoma radians, and two stages of Sparisoma chrysopterum and Sparisoma aurofrenatum, therefore demonstrating the successful and necessary application of molecular taxonomic approaches for species‐level identifications of Sparisoma larvae.
Acute freshwater CO2 exposure does not impair seawater transfer in three different sizes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) subjected to different photoperiod manipulations

Published: October 2024

AbstractThere is a growing interest in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture to extend the time fish are reared in freshwater (FW) recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), producing larger FW salmon that can then be induced to undergo smoltification before transfer into marine net pens for grow‐out and harvest. Smolts can be produced by photoperiod (PT) manipulation in RASs, but little is known about how delaying smoltification to larger body sizes affects susceptibility to elevated CO2 levels (hypercapnia), which can occur at high stocking densities in FW RAS or during transport from FW RAS rearing facilities to marine net pens. To address this, Atlantic salmon were reared from hatch to one of three different sizes (~230, ~580, or ~1300 g) in FW (3 ppt) under continuous light (24:0, light:dark). Once fish reached the desired sizes, a group of salmon were maintained on continuous light 24L:0D to serve as a control salmon. A second group of salmon were exposed to 8 weeks of 12L:12D and then to 4 weeks of 24L:0D to serve as PT treatment salmon, which is the PT manipulation commonly used in Atlantic salmon aquaculture to induce smoltification. At the end of PT manipulation, both control and PT treatment salmon were exposed to 0% or 1.5% CO2 (30 mg/L) for 96 h in FW and then transferred to air‐equilibrated seawater (SW, 35 ppt, normocapnia). Salmon were sampled at the end of the 96‐h FW CO2 exposure and at 24 h and 7 days in SW for measurements of blood ion/acid–base status, muscle water content (MWC), and gill and kidney Na+/K+ ATPase (NKA) activity. Exposure to 96 h of CO2 in FW resulted in acid–base disturbances in fish from all three size classes, with decreases in blood pH and increases in blood PCO2 and plasma [HCO3−] but no mortality. Despite these large acid–base disturbances in FW, after transfer to normocapnic SW, there were no significant effects of CO2 exposure on extracellular blood pH, intracellular red blood cell pH, or plasma osmoregulatory status for all three sizes of post‐smolt salmon. In general, SW transfer was associated with significant increases in plasma ions and osmolality, as well as gill and kidney NKA activity after 24 h and 1 week in SW with no significant impacts between different sizes of salmon. Thus, exposure to 30 mg CO2/L that mimics levels experienced during transport from FW RAS to an SW transfer site may have minimal effects on Atlantic salmon smolts up to 1300 g.
The COVID generation: A commentary on how the pandemic altered adolescents' life course
Authors: Fivush Robyn 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe pandemic lockdowns interrupted critical developmental experiences especially for adolescents and emerging adults engaged in the challenge of constructing identities. This commentary focuses on four review articles that document both negative and positive consequences of the pandemic on family, peer, school, and community interactions. I argue that worldwide experiences of these interruptions led to a shared generational experience of disconnection and isolation, that, paradoxically, creates a shared generational identity. The COVID‐19 generation shares a view of the world as unsafe, unpredictable, and unfair; yet, at the same time, they are perhaps more oriented toward social justice. Generational identities formed at pivotal developmental moments continue to reverberate across the life course. How these formative experiences of the pandemic will continue to influence the life course of the COVID‐19 generation remains to be seen.
Clinical presentation, management and outcome of maxillofacial fractures in pet rabbits: 27 cases (2008‐2022)
Authors: Le K. , Sheen J. C. 
Published: October 2024

ObjectivesTo report clinical findings, management strategies and outcomes in pet rabbits with maxillofacial fractures.Materials and MethodsMedical records of pet rabbits with confirmed maxillofacial fractures from three exotic animal veterinary services between 2008 and 2022 were reviewed.ResultsForty‐five fractured maxillofacial bones were reported in 27 rabbits, including mandibular symphyseal separation in 13 rabbits. Median age was 18 months (interquartile range, 7 to 38 months), and median bodyweight was 1.70 kg (interquartile range, 1.36 to 2.33 kg). The most common aetiology was anthropogenic accidents (16/27). Hyporexia/anorexia was the most frequent presenting complaint (17/27). Common clinical findings included dental malocclusion (12/27), craniofacial pain (9/27), crepitus (9/27) and swelling (7/27). Three (3/27) rabbits were euthanised after diagnosis. Mandibular symphyseal separation in 11 of 12 treated rabbits were addressed using circummandibular cerclage wiring. All remaining fractures were conservatively managed. Twenty‐three of 27 rabbits survived to hospital discharge. Median time of return to normal or near‐normal eating was 1 day (interquartile range, <1 to 3 days). Median survival time was 859 days (interquartile range, 567 to 1092 days). Dental malocclusion was a reported complication in 12 of 16 rabbits with follow‐up data. However, only five of 12 rabbits developed associated clinical signs requiring corrective dentistry.Clinical SignificanceMaxillofacial fracture in rabbits may present with similar clinical signs and findings to other conditions such as odontogenic disease. Successful outcomes with infrequent long‐term clinical complications are associated with management strategies that emphasise early functional recovery.

Published: October 2024

SummaryObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome commonly leads to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Pitolisant, a selective histamine‐3 receptor antagonist, is efficacious at doses up to 20 mg once daily in OSA treated or not with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). We assessed the efficacy and safety of pitolisant at doses up to 40 mg once daily in patients with moderate to severe OSA treated or not with CPAP therapy. In this phase 3, multicentre, randomised, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial, patients with OSA were assigned 2:1 to receive pitolisant (according to an individual up‐titration scheme, 10, 20 or 40 mg once daily) or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was a change in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from baseline to week 12. Secondary endpoints included a change in reaction time using the Oxford Sleep Resistance test (OSleR), Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI‐C), and Patient's Global Opinion of the Effect (PGOE) of study treatment. Overall, 361 patients (mean age 52.4 years, 77.3% male; mean apnea‐hypopnea index [AHI] 27.0 events/h) were randomised to receive pitolisant (n = 242; 50% received CPAP) or placebo (n = 119; 48.7% CPAP). After the dose‐adjustment phase (week 3), 88.8% of patients received pitolisant 40 mg. Compared with placebo, pitolisant produced a significant reduction in the ESS score at week 12 (least square mean difference −2.6 (95% CI: −3.4; −1.8; p < 0.001)) irrespective of CPAP use; and improved the reaction time on OSleR, CGI‐C, and PGOE at week 12. Pitolisant was well tolerated; no new safety signals were identified. In conclusion, pitolisant up to 40 mg once daily was an effective treatment for EDS in patients with moderate to severe OSA irrespective of CPAP use.
