Contingency and increasing returns: a review essay of the Corporation and the Twentieth Century
Authors: Hingl Kurtis 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis review essay of Richard Langlois’s The Corporation and the Twentieth Century (2023) has a threefold purpose. Firstly, I distill one angle of the conceptual framework Langlois employs in his meticulous business history: optimal organizational form is always historically contingent. It depends on costs and benefits of centralization, transaction costs (static and dynamic), and the degree of organizational and technological modularity. Secondly, from this framework I derive interpretive questions to serve as a guide to reading The Corporation and the Twentieth Century (or perhaps business histories in general). Thirdly, I highlight a theme that is present in the book, but never quite made explicit: the potential for increasing returns from platform innovations. Drawing from Langlois, I posit that platform innovations were a major contributor to the miraculous economic growth that took place in the twentieth century. While I touch on what I believe are the central themes of the book, The Corporation and the Twentieth Century has much more to offer both the theorist and historian, economist and businessman.
Engagement in Pro-Choice Protests: The Role of Gender, Feminism, Gender Collective Self-Esteem, and Reactance Against Abortion Bans

Published: September 2024

AbstractRecently imposed reproductive rights restrictions have triggered widespread pro-choice protests in countries like Poland and the U.S. This study, conducted online in Poland following the 22 October 2020 decision of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal to strengthen restrictions on legal access to abortion, investigated the motivations of 939 Poles (55% women) to participate in pro-choice protests. We examined how different aspects of gender collective self-esteem and feminist identification were associated with reactance to the freedom restrictions imposed by the abortion ban and with engagement in pro-choice protests among women and men. We found that for both genders, weaker gender identification was associated with higher feminist identification, greater reactance to the abortion ban, and increased involvement in pro-choice protests. However, we observed gender differences in the motivations to participate. Women who perceived themselves as valued members of their gender group, had negative personal views about their gender or felt their gender was undervalued by society, were more likely to engage in pro-choice activism. Men who held negative personal views about their gender or felt their gender was valued by society were more likely to engage in pro-choice protests. This study adds novel predictors to the literature on engagement in pro-choice collective action, offering practical insights into which aspects of gender collective self-esteem should be targeted to enhance feminist identification and support for the pro-choice movement.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Objectives
Although cerebrospinal fluid drainage has been shown to reduce the risk of ischemic spinal cord injury, serious complications have also been reported. We have been using it selectively in a pressure- and volume-regulated method and aimed to evaluate its safety, and its validity in elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair in a propensity-matched cohort.

Methods
Among the 450 patients who underwent open surgery (n = 169) or thoracic endovascular aortic repair (n = 281) on the descending or thoracoabdominal aorta, 147 underwent cerebrospinal fluid drainage, which was prophylactic in 135 and therapeutic in 12. Prophylactic drainage was performed in elective open surgery under distal aortic perfusion (n = 67) or in selected patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (n = 68).

Results
Drainage-related complications were observed in 13 (9.6%), one of which was graded severe (0.74%). In patients undergoing prophylactic drainage, spinal cord injury was detected in 2/135 (1.5%). In patients without prophylactic drainage, 15/315 (4.8%) developed spinal cord injury. Therapeutic drainage was performed in 12 of these 15 patients, 10 of whom remained paralytic in varying degree. In the inverse probability weighted analysis of the patients undergoing elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair, the incidence of spinal cord injury was lower with prophylactic drainage (p = 0.028).

Conclusions
Pressure- and volume-regulated spinal drainage rarely causes serious complications. Its prophylactic use seems beneficial in selected patients, including those undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair with high risk for spinal cord injury.

Opinion StatementRecommended first and second line treatments for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) include fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-based therapy, and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapies. In third line, the SUNLIGHT trial showed that trifluridine/tipiracil + bevacizumab (FTD/TPI + BEV) provided significant survival benefits and as such is now a recommended third line regimen in patients with refractory mCRC, irrespective of RAS mutational status and previous anti-VEGF treatment. Some patients are not candidates for intensive combination chemotherapy as first-line therapy due to age, low tumor burden, performance status and/or comorbidities. Capecitabine (CAP) + BEV is recommended in these patients. In the SOLSTICE trial, FTD/TPI + BEV as a first line regimen in patients not eligible for intensive therapy was not superior to CAP + BEV in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). However, in SOLSTICE, FTD/TPI + BEV resulted in similar PFS, overall survival, and maintenance of quality of life as CAP + BEV, with a different safety profile. FTD/TPI + BEV offers a possible first line alternative in patients for whom CAP + BEV is an unsuitable treatment. This narrative review explores and summarizes the clinical trial data on FTD/TPI + BEV.
Seeking Autonomy in the Semi-periphery: Neomercantilism and Diversification in Turkey
Authors: Arnold Caroline , Naseemullah Adnan 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article considers Turkey as an archetypal example of the semi-periphery, neither entirely beholden to international rules and norms nor free to set them. We focus on three leading export sectors – textiles and garments, automotives and infrastructure – and analyze how the Turkish state and associated industrial firms have worked to navigate the complicated demands of cost-competitiveness while increasing the production of value-added goods. We find that the Turkish state and firms have adopted a mix of strategies for integrating with export markets, combining neoliberal adherence to the rules and norms of Western markets through global value chains with neomercantilist efforts to direct cross-border trade and investment toward the Balkans, Middle East, and Central Asia. Although neoliberalism and neomercantilism are traditionally treated as opposing approaches to international economic integration, we find that, for semi-peripheral countries like Turkey, these strategies are not contradictory but rather complementary, as they reduce exposure to the volatility and dependence upon Western markets. While the success of these efforts varies across industries and types of firms, we suggest that such dualistic approaches may be a key strategy for semi-peripheral countries seeking to minimize their dependence on Western markets while exerting economic influence in their near abroad.

AbstractA 90 year-old man underwent endoscopic mucosal resection for lesions in the descending and sigmoid colons as well as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for a lesion in the rectal peritoneal reflection (Ra) 1 month before undergoing laparoscopic resection and D3 dissection for advanced cancer in the descending colon. One year later, he underwent a surveillance colonoscopy, and advanced colorectal cancer was detected on the ESD scar. The history suggested that this newly detected recurrent colorectal neoplasm on the ESD scar may have originated from cancer cells derived from the descending colon cancer that were implanted in the ESD ulcer, thereby initiating a new colorectal neoplasm. Cancer genomic testing further indicated that three of the four pathogenic variants detected in the recurrent colorectal neoplasm were consistent with pathogenic variants of descending colon cancer. This finding strongly supports our contention that cancer cells derived from the descending colon cancer were implanted in the post-ESD ulcer of the rectal Ra and proliferated, forming the recurrent colorectal neoplasm. This case report highlights the potential for tumor cell implantation on endoscopic resection ulcers and the utility of cancer genomic testing in validating this phenomenon.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe surge in demand for cost-effective, lightweight, and rapidly responsive sensors has propelled research in various fields, and traditional sensors face limitations in performing up to the mark due to their intrinsic properties and a lack of innovative fabrication techniques. Consequently, over the last decade, a notable shift has been toward harnessing naturally existing nanostructures to develop efficient and versatile sensing devices. One such nanostructure in morpho butterfly wings has attracted attention because of its vibrant uniqueness and diverse sensing properties. This review will explore recent interdisciplinary research endeavors on the nanostructure, including chemical, vapor, and acoustic detection. Furthermore, its potential as an infrared sensor, considerations related to heat transfer properties, and a brief overview of various replication techniques and challenges encountered in reproducing the intricate nanostructure are discussed.

Published: September 2024

AbstractTo improve the sensitivity measurement of temperature sensors, a fiber optic temperature sensor structure based on the harmonic Vernier effect with two parallel fiber Sagnac interferometers (FSIs) is designed, and theoretical analysis and experimental testing are conducted. The FSI consisting of two polarization maintaining fibers (PMFs) with lengths of 13.62 m and 15.05 m respectively is used to achieve the basic Vernier effect. Then by changing the length of one PMF to approximately i times that of the others, the FSI composed of two PMFs of 7.1 m and 15.05 m is used to achieve the first-order harmonic Vernier effect. Afterward, temperature sensing tests are conducted to observe the wavelength drift during temperature changes and ultimately achieve high sensitivity. The experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity of the sensor based on the first-order harmonic Vernier effect is −28.89 nm/°C, which is 17.09 times that of a single FSI structure (−1.69 nm/°C) and 1.84 times that of the sensitivity generated by the structure based on the basic Vernier effect (−15.69 nm/°C). The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis. The structure proposed in this paper achieves drift measurement of 0.1 °C variation based on 1 °C drift, making the fiber optic temperature sensor applicable to related fields that require high precision temperature. The proposed temperature sensor has the simple structure, low production cost, high sensitivity, and broad application prospects.
Navigating Minefields: Social Work with People with Disabilities in the Context of War
Authors: Zaviršek Darja , Cox James 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe systematic dehumanization of people with disabilities in peaceful times is magnified in times of war and during post-war periods, especially in regions and countries with prevalent medical-pathological approaches towards individuals with disabilities. This discussion combines historical, current, and anticipated impacts and integrates the experiences of practitioners and communities. Using critical social work and critical disability studies perspectives, we have questioned what we need to attend to in social work to ensure that, in war, we do not overlook people with impairments. We also ask how the lives of people living in long-term institutions have been affected and what has changed since the outbreak of war. Their rights have long been overlooked. The war zone in Ukraine provides a critical case study intended to increase sensitivity and understanding among academics and social work professionals about the needs and rights of people with disabilities, and about the multi-dimensional barriers and hazards, visible and invisible, that they experience in times of armed conflict and its aftermath. It is argued that this is a global and mainstream concern, not a marginal topic. New emphasis is given to social work's potential and shared responsibilities to contribute to the realization of the rights of people with disabilities in a war context, through training, research, practice, and policy.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to gain insight into the perspectives of older adults on the quality of geriatric rehabilitation (GR) during the trajectory of GR from admission until six weeks after discharge.

Methods
We conducted a longitudinal qualitative study. Participants were interviewed three times: at the start of rehabilitation, at discharge, and six weeks after discharge. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis.

Results
In total, 50 interviews were conducted, with 18 participants being interviewed multiple times. The following themes emerged: 1. A bond of trust with health care professionals (HCPs), 2. Being prepared and informed at all stages of GR, 3. Participants emphasise physical and occupational therapy rather than other aspects of care as comprising GR 4. Changing needs regarding (the extent of) involvement in decision-making, 5. Contact with family and peers.

Conclusion
For older adults, preparation for and good organisation of rehabilitation and social interaction with HCPs and other older adults were found to be important for the perceived quality of GR. Social interaction is influenced by how HCPs engage with older adults in all the phases of the rehabilitation process. Older adults have varying preferences about involvement in decision-making during GR. These perspectives should be acknowledged and acted upon in clinical practice to further improve the quality of care in GR.
Literature in Language Education: Exploring EFL Learners’ Literary Competence Profiles
Authors: Calafato Raees , Hunstadbråten Siri 
Published: September 2024

AbstractLiterary competence is a critical component of foreign language education and has far-reaching implications for language learners’ linguistic and cultural development. This article reports on a study that examined how the receptiveness to literature, immersion, reading strategies, need for structure, and information processing of 72 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in upper-secondary schools predicted their literary competence. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, including a scored assessment of learners’ EFL literary competence via a cooperative argumentative dialogue (CAD) involving four short stories, post-CAD group interviews, reading logs, and an online questionnaire. The results revealed that participants had significantly higher levels of interpretative and empathic competence than aesthetic-stylistic and cultural-discursive competence. They also tended to favour problem-solving and global reading strategies, which negatively correlated with their literary competence. Meanwhile, their ability to process information analytically and systematically positively moderated the relationship between their receptiveness to literature and their literary competence.

Abstract

Objectives:
We assessed the effectiveness of heterologous vaccination strategy in immunocompromised individuals regarding COVID-19 outcomes, comparing it to homologous approaches.

Design:
Systematic literature review/meta-analysis.

Methods:
We searched PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, and Web of Science from January 1, 2020 to September 29, 2023. We included studies that evaluated the heterologous vaccination strategy on immunocompromised individuals through outcomes related to COVID-19 (levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein IgG, neutralizing antibodies, symptomatic COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death) in comparison to homologous schemes. We also used random-effect models to produce pooled odds ratio estimates. Heterogeneity was investigated with I2 estimation.

Results:
Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Fourteen of them provided quantitative data for inclusion in the meta-analysis on vaccine response, being four of them also included in the vaccine effectiveness meta-analysis. The vaccination strategies (heterologous vs homologous) showed no difference in the odds of developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein IgG (odds ratio 1.12 [95% Cl: 0.73–1.72]). Heterologous schemes also showed no difference in the production of neutralizing antibodies (odds ratio 1.48 [95% Cl: 0.72–3.05]) nor vaccine effectiveness in comparison to homologous schemes (odds ratio 1.52 [95% CI: 0.66–3.53]).

Conclusions:
Alternative heterologous COVID-19 vaccinations have shown equivalent antibody response rates and vaccine effectiveness to homologous schemes, potentially aiding global disparity of vaccine distribution.

Published: September 2024

AbstractObjective:Knowledge of local antibiotic resistance data, provided by antibiograms (a cumulative summary of in vitro-antimicrobial-susceptibility-test results), can aid prescribing of appropriate empirical antibiotics. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of antibiogram development for residential aged care facilities (RACFs).Design:Retrospective observational study of culture and sensitivity data.Setting:Nine RACFs in Queensland, Australia.Method:Available antimicrobial susceptibility results were collected retrospectively for all residents of recruited RACFs from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. Data were managed and analyzed with WHONET software®, and antibiograms were developed in accordance with the CLSI-M39 guidelines. Antibiogram data beyond the standard 12-months and pooling of data from geographically similar RACFs were explored as options to improve feasibility and validity of the antibiograms.Results:The most prevalent bacteria in the RACFs were Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Due to the low number of positive cultures (less than 30) for individual RACFs, an annual antibiogram was not feasible. Extending the time-period to three years improved feasibility of antibiograms for E.coli in seven RACFs and S.aureus in five RACFs. Combining the data from closely located RACFs allowed for sufficient urinary and skin swab isolates to produce annual pooled antibiograms for all three years.Conclusion:Use of extended time period antibiograms can provide RACF specific urinary and skin/soft tissue resistance data without the necessity of private pathology provider input. However, pooled syndromic antibiograms can be made available on an annual basis, which may be the preferred option.
