Organizational communication for social change on social media: NPOs’ social media strategies based on their perception of three stakeholder networks in collective and connective action
Authors: Ihm Jennifer 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Social media transform and complicate nonprofit organizations’ (NPOs) traditional communication to engage and lead stakeholders for collective action. Stakeholders can self-organize for connective action on social media and form stakeholder networks of varied potential and structures that NPOs may leverage for collective goals. Facing such networks, NPOs may communicate in diverse ways to accommodate and take advantage of the diverse stakeholder networks. Through two surveys conducted with 375 (Study 1) and 74 (Study 2) NPOs, this study suggests that NPOs diversify their communication to leverage different potential from each stakeholder network by crafting different types of social media activities based on their perception of different networks. This study develops a comprehensive theoretical understanding of NPOs’ transformed and complex communication strategies for stakeholder engagement in driving social change, opening up new avenues for organizational communication and collective and connective action scholarship.
Tracking the civilising mission’s continuities in externalised migration controls: a critical analysis of EU cooperation with third countries
Authors: Hocquet Céline 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
A critical perspective on EU externalisation policy reveals how cooperation on migration perpetuates key features of the ‘civilising mission’. This article focuses on the EU-Turkey, EU-Afghanistan, and Italy-Libya cooperation agreements as cornerstones of the EU racialised mobility regime. It shows how these frameworks legitimise externalised controls as a form of benevolence towards Third World migrants and states, and how the EU allocates the responsibility to deal with migration to its partners while keeping its status as a humanitarian actor.

ABSTRACT
As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterization of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias to acquire low- and mid-resolution (R${\approx }$300 and R${\approx }$2500) optical spectroscopy of 53 late-M and L ultracool dwarfs. Most of these objects are known but poorly investigated and lacking complete kinematics. We measured spectral indices, determined spectral types (six of which are new) and inferred effective temperature and surface gravity from BT-Settl synthetic spectra fits for all objects. We were able to measure radial velocities via line centre fitting and cross correlation for 46 objects, 29 of which lacked previous radial velocity measurements. Using these radial velocities in combination with the latest Gaia DR3 data, we also calculated Galactocentric space velocities. From their kinematics, we identified two candidates outside of the thin disc and four in young stellar kinematic groups. Two further ultracool dwarfs are apparently young field objects: 2MASSW J1246467+402715 (L4β), which has a potential, weak lithium absorption line, and G 196–3B (L3β), which was already known as young due to its well-studied primary companion.
True unicorns and false positives: simulated probabilities of dark massive companions to bright stars
Authors: Miller Andrew M , Stephan Alexander P , Martin David V 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Many compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) exist in binaries. These binaries are normally discovered through their interactions, either from accretion as an X-ray binary or collisions as a gravitational wave source. However, the majority of compact objects in binaries should be non-interacting. Recently proposed discoveries have used radial velocities of a bright star (main sequence or evolved) that are indicative of a massive but dark companion, which is inferred to be a compact object. Unfortunately, this burgeoning new field has been hindered by false positives, including the ‘Unicorn’ (V723 Mon) which was initially believed to be a red giant/black hole binary before being refuted. In this work, we investigate the evolution of stellar binary populations over time, using the binary evolution code COSMIC to simulate binary populations and determine the probability of a candidate object being either a ‘true Unicorn’ (actual compact objects in binaries) or a false positive. We find that main-sequence (MS) stars have a higher true Unicorn probability than red giants or naked helium stars (an exposed core of an evolved star), particularly if the companion is more massive and is $\ge$3 times less luminous than the MS star. We also find that a top-heavy initial mass function raises the true Unicorn probability further, that super-solar metallicity reduces the probability, and that most true Unicorns are found at periods $\le$100 d. Finally, we find that a significant fraction of true Unicorns do not evolve into X-ray binaries during the age of the Universe.

ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis poses a significant diagnostic challenge due to its varied clinical presentation. Here, we present a case of a 59-year-old female with a history of asthma and sinusitis, who manifested with an extremely rare presentation of drastic tense blisters and haemorrhagic bullae alongside purpuric lesions and peripheral neuropathy. Examinations revealed eosinophilia, positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, and characteristic pathological findings with small-vessel vasculitis in the purpura. Treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide led to rapid improvement in peripheral eosinophilia, skin manifestations, and motor neuron deficits. Although rare, our case underscores that bullous skin lesions should be recognised as a potential cutaneous hallmark of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis to aid timely diagnosis, since prompt treatment initiation is crucial given the potential irreversible organ damage and poor prognosis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

ABSTRACT

Background
Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of kidney disease and can result in further disease progression. Alkali therapy has been used to treat metabolic acidosis for decades. However, some concerns have been raised regarding its safety and long-term tolerability. Existing data suggest that dietary interventions can be beneficial in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to summarize findings from studies comparing dietary interventions with placebo/usual care/no treatment in the management of metabolic acidosis in outpatient adults with CKD.

Methods
Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, CINAHL and Web of Science Core Collection were searched from inception to June 2022. Our primary outcome measure was change in serum bicarbonate. Any dietary intervention looking to manipulate dietary acid load was considered as an intervention. Data screening and extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Random effects meta-analysis was performed to pool data.

Results
Dietary interventions resulted in clinically significant improvement in serum bicarbonate [mean difference 2.98 (95% confidence interval 0.77, 5.19); I2: 91%] and higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels [mean difference 3.16 (95% confidence interval 0.24, 6.08); I2: 67%] compared with controls. Serum potassium, albumin and body mass index remained unchanged. Dietary interventions were reported to be safe. Subgroup analyses indicated a superiority of plant-based over non-plant-based interventions in the improvement of acid–base balance and eGFR; however, these findings are from low-quality and heterogenous studies.

Conclusion
Our findings support the beneficial effects of dietary interventions aimed at reducing acid or adding base in the management of metabolic acidosis and kidney function in adults with CKD, with no adverse effects on serum potassium and nutritional status. Well-designed clinical trials looking at the treatment of metabolic acidosis with dietary interventions with a focus on adding base through fruit and vegetables are required.

ABSTRACT

Background
Hyperuricaemia and gout are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to assess the effects of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibition on uric acid (urate) and gout in patients with CKD.

Methods
The EMPA-KIDNEY trial randomised 6609 patients with CKD to receive either empagliflozin 10 mg daily or matching placebo over a median of 2 years of follow-up. Serum uric acid was measured at randomisation then at 2 and 18 months of follow-up and the effects of empagliflozin were analysed using a pre-specified mixed model repeated measures approach. Participant-reported gout events were analysed in Cox regression models (first events) with the Andersen–Gill extension (total events). A post hoc composite outcome included new initiation of uric acid–lowering therapy or colchicine. EMPA-KIDNEY primary and kidney disease progression outcomes were also assessed in subgroups of baseline serum uric acid.

Results
Baseline mean ± standard deviation serum uric acid concentration was 431 ± 114 µmol/l. Allocation to empagliflozin resulted in a study-average between-group difference in serum uric acid of −25.6 µmol/l [95% confidence interval (CI) −30.3 to −21.0], with larger effects in those with higher eGFR (trend P &lt; .001) and without diabetes (heterogeneity P &lt; .001). Compared with placebo, empagliflozin did not significantly reduce first or total gout events [hazard ratio 0.87 (95% CI 0.74–1.02) for the 595 first events and 0.86 (0.72–1.03) for the 869 total events] with similar hazard ratios for the post hoc composite and across subgroups, including by diabetes and eGFR. The effect of empagliflozin on the primary outcome and kidney disease progression outcomes were similar irrespective of the baseline level of uric acid.

Conclusions
SGLT2 inhibition reduces serum uric acid in patients with CKD, with larger effects at higher eGFR and in the absence of diabetes. However, the effect on uric acid is modest and did not translate into reduced risk of gout in EMPA-KIDNEY.

ABSTRACT
The noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) indicates the minimum temperature difference resolvable by using an infrared detector. The lower the NETD, the better the sensor can register small temperature differences. In this work, we proposed a strategy to achieve a high temperature resolution using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) with ultra-high sensitivity. We deduced the model for calculating the NETD of a photon-counting-type detector and applied it to our SNSPD-based set-up. Experimentally, we obtained an NETD as low as 0.65 mK, which is limited by the background radiation of the environment, and the required infrared radiation power is calculated to be &lt;1 pW. Furthermore, the intrinsic NETD of this SNSPD is estimated to be &lt;0.1 mK. This work demonstrated a sub-mK temperature resolution when using the SNSPD, paving the way for future remote infrared thermal imaging with high temperature resolution.

ABSTRACT
Population allele frequency is crucially important for accurate interpretation of known and novel variants in medical genetics. Recently, several large allele frequency databases, such as the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), have been created to serve as a global reference for such studies. However, frequencies of many rare alleles vary dramatically between populations, and population-specific allele frequency is often more informative than the global one. Many countries and regions, including Russia, remain poorly studied from the genetic perspective. Here, we report the first successful attempt to integrate genetic information between major medical genetic laboratories in Russia. We construct RUSeq, an open, large-scale reference set of genetic variants by analyzing 7452 exome samples collected in two major Russian cities—Moscow and St. Petersburg. An ∼10-fold increase in sample size compared to previous studies allowed us to characterize extensive genetic diversity within the admixed Russian population with contributions from several major ancestral groups. We highlight 51 known pathogenic variants that are overrepresented in Russia compared to other European countries. We also identify several dozen high-impact variants that are present in healthy donors despite being annotated as pathogenic in ClinVar and falling within genes associated with autosomal dominant disorders. The constructed database of genetic variant frequencies in Russia has been made available to the medical genetics community through a variant browser available at http://ruseq.ru.
The contribution of employer changes to aggregate wage mobility
Authors: Hollandt Nils Torben , Mueller Steffen 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Wage mobility reduces the persistence of wage inequality. We develop a framework to quantify the contribution of employer-to-employer movers to aggregate wage mobility. Using three decades of German social security data, we find that inequality increased while aggregate wage mobility decreased. Employer-to-employer movers exhibit higher wage mobility, mainly due to changes in employer wage premia at job change. The massive structural changes following German unification temporarily led to a high number of movers, which in turn boosted aggregate wage mobility. Wage mobility is much lower at the bottom of the wage distribution, and the decline in aggregate wage mobility since the 1980s is concentrated there. The overall decline can be mostly attributed to a reduction in wage mobility per mover, which is due to a compositional shift toward lower-wage movers.
The correlates of environmental initiatives in sports organizations with climate change attitudes and subjective well-being
Authors: Kraft Christian , Bühren Christoph , Wicker Pamela 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
To recognize the interplay between climate change and public health, this study examines the impact of sports organizations’ environmental initiatives on members’ subjective well-being (SWB) and climate change attitudes (CCA). Drawing on the theoretical tenets of pro-social behavior, organizational initiatives aiming at protecting and improving the natural environment can be viewed as altruistic. This altruism can in turn increase SWB.

Methods
The analysis uses survey data from the 2022 Eurobarometer, including 27 European countries and 6311 members of different types of sports organizations. Seemingly unrelated regression models were employed to assess the associations of various environmental initiatives with members’ SWB and CCA.

Results
The total number of initiatives and specific initiatives, such as promoting green energy and waste reduction, are positively correlated with members’ CCA. However, there is no effect on SWB.

Conclusion
Organizational environmental initiatives may shape members’ attitudes towards climate change but do not seem to affect their SWB. This would suggest that environmental protection does not come at the expense of SWB. Thus, sports organizations represent a context to promote environmental protection along with public health.

Abstract
In the 25th of February 2024, four years since the first Act of Legislative Content of the Greek Government concerning the prevention and limitation of the spreading of coronavirus COVID-19 were completed. The regulatory production of this period is huge and has a series of unique characteristics with prevailing one the use of means of extraordinary legislation as foreseen in the Greek Constitution. All these measures are presented in a consolidated form in the “Special Administrative Codification of urgent regulatory measures to prevent and limit the spreading of coronavirus COVID-19 and to deal with relevant problems” under the short name of PANDEKTIS, conducted by the Department of Administrative Codifications – Raptarchis of the Secretariat General for Legal and Parliamentary Affairs of the Presidency of the Greek Government. The study of this monumental work gives rise to very interesting findings, about the way Hellenic Government handled the Pandemic crisis. This article presents the law-making process and the process of issuing secondary legislation during the Pandemic, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics with special comment on the fulfillment of the rules and principles of Better Regulation and discusses the use of administrative codification as a means of reflecting an holistic picture of the regulatory production during a period of crisis.

Abstract
Ghosal hematodiaphyseal dysplasia (GHDD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diaphyseal dysplasia of long bones, bone marrow fibrosis, and steroid-responsive anemia. Patients with this disease have a mutation in the thromboxane-AS1 (TBXAS1) gene located on chromosome 7q33.34. They present with short stature, varying grades of myelofibrosis, and, hence cytopenias. Patients with the above presentation were evaluated through clinical presentation, X-ray of long bones, bone marrow examinations, and confirmed by genetic testing. In this article, we present two cases: The first case is a 3-year-old boy who presented with progressive pallor and ecchymotic patches for a year. On investigation, he had bicytopenia and bone marrow fibrosis. His anemia was steroid responsive and was finally diagnosed as GHDD. The second case is a 20-month-old girl who presented with blood in stools, developmental delay, anemia, and increased intensity of long bones on X-ray. Since other investigations were normal, suspicion of GHDD was raised, and a genetic workup was conducted which suggested mutation in TBXAS1 gene, confirming the diagnosis of GHDD. Children with refractory anemia and cortical thickening on skeletogram should always be evaluated for dysplasias. Timely treatment with steroids reduces transfusion requirements and halts bone damage, thus leading to better growth and improved quality of life.
Osteology and relationships of the Late Triassic giant dicynodont Lisowicia
Authors: Sulej Tomasz 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Unexpectedly abundant remains of herbivorous therapsids in the Late Triassic strata of southern Poland have significantly supplemented knowledge of their evolution. The skeletal morphology of the Late Norian (or Rhaetian) dicynodont Lisowicia bojani supports its close relationship to the Carnian Woznikella, both known from the Polish part of the Germanic Basin. Three evolutionary lineages of dicynodonts—Laurasian–Gondwanan Rhadiodromus klimovi → Jachaleria candelariensis lineage, Laurasian lineage Shaanbeikannemeyeria xilougouensis → Lisowicia bojani, and the Gondwanan lineage Kannemeyeria simocephalus → Dinodontosaurus brevirostris—are distinguished based on characters of cranial and postcranial elements. In the lineages characterized by the parietal oval in cross-section and the two distinct articulations on the sternum, there is a tendency to exclude the frontal from the orbital margin and to reduce the number of sacral vertebrae. In the lineage with the parietal narrow and triangular in cross-section, the frontal forms part of the orbit margin, there is a single joint on the sternum, and there is a tendency towards flattening the skull roof. In both lineages the shoulder girdle is convergently modified, the acromion process decreased, and joints on the sternum moved posteriorly.
