Higher education for students with mental health conditions: the policy and legislative support in India
Authors: Roy Amrita 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThe enrolment rates of students with special needs (SwSN) decrease from primary to secondary education and decline steeply in higher education. The incessant impact of stigma and misconceptions about their capability in academic performance acts as a major roadblock for students with mental health conditions (SwMHC) while seeking and pursuing higher education, in addition to the host of other challenges faced by all SwSN. SwMHC are the least represented in higher educational institutions (HEIs) and are seldom considered when it comes to the provision of support and accommodation. Policies across countries aim to make education accessible and inclusive for SwSN, including India. This study aims to appraise the current policies and legislation in terms of the support they provide for SwMHC.Design/methodology/approachThis study is a “document analysis” of all policies, legislation, schemes and guidelines that impact the higher education of SwMHC to recognize the existing provisions that are likely to impact the higher educational outcomes for SwMHC.FindingsThe issues of access, accommodation, equity, inclusion, and financial support are appropriately handled by the current policies and legislation. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 serves as a holistic guidebook and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPDA) 2016 provides the legislative framework for realizing education as a ‘right for all.’ The RPDA ensures open gateways of HEIs for all SwSN through reservations and mandating necessary support and accommodation. NEP guides inclusion and equity in higher education. The ‘University Grants Commission’, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, is a crucial stakeholder in achieving the vision of supportive policies by formulating requisite guidelines and monitoring their implementation.Originality/valueThe study involved document analysis spanning macro to micro level, i.e. from national policies and legislation to policies and guidelines of autonomous or statutory organizations to institutional-level policies and documents.
Unlocking the role of managers in self-managing teams
Authors: Turner Karynne L. , Monti Alberto , Annosi Maria Carmela 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
Recent reports show that knowledge-based sectors contribute significantly to the global economy and underscore the importance of innovation. Innovation in both products and processes is vital to maintaining competitiveness. Self-managing teams, emphasizing autonomy and limiting the role of management, have been viewed as a solution to encourage innovation. However, management's efforts to coordinate and align employees with the organization's interests can inadvertently stifle innovation. Achieving the appropriate balance between granting employees autonomy and retaining managerial involvement is paramount, creating a paradox known as the control-autonomy dilemma. This article highlights the importance of perceived managerial support to strike the appropriate balance.

Design/methodology/approach
Practitioner paper

Findings
To address the control-autonomy dilemma, organizational practices that balance management control and employee autonomy are crucial. These include input practices that emphasize skill development and/or output practices that set clear goals. With self-rule, maintaining perceived managerial support becomes harder. Without it, employees may hesitate to engage in innovative behaviors. While not needing constant supervision, employees do need to have the perception that their managers provide essential resources and motivation for their work.

Originality/value
This paper is the first to highlight how the level of perceived managerial support (PMS) will differ due to the nature of the organizational practices and the type of innovation.
Knowing what not to know: Unravelling the dynamics of selective knowledge in government policymaking
Authors: Gerblinger Christiane 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe Robodebt controversy in Australia has led to an investigation regarding bureaucratic practices, particularly concerning the dissemination of false or misleading information. While overt falsehoods may be relatively easy to spot, this paper delves into subtler forms of misleading discourse that often evade detection, perpetuating a culture of deliberate ambiguity within governmental institutions. By analysing bureaucratic manoeuvres like feigned ignorance, selective knowledge and silent silencing, this study elucidates how policymakers strategically incorporate uncertainty to shield themselves from blame. Drawing on empirical evidence from the handling of a 2016 state‐wide blackout and the subsequent bureaucratic discourse, the paper highlights how routine bureaucratic interactions contribute to maintaining politically convenient narratives at the expense of transparency and democratic accountability. It proposes three key areas for policy organisations to address: engaging with what is being ignored, redefining objectivity to include diverse perspectives, and leaning into the tension between political desires and necessities.Points for practitioners
Practitioners should start identifying and addressing subtle forms of misinformation in their own bureaucratic practices. This includes strategies like feigned ignorance, selective knowledge, and silent silencing, which are used to avoid blame and perpetuate a culture of deliberate ambiguity.
By understanding how they employ such strategies, practitioners may be better able to foster diverse perspectives and redefine objectivity in ways that expand upon their institutional expertise.
In politically charged situations, policy advisers may prioritise short‐term expedience, but they do so at the cost of longer term integrity of the public service. Lean into the tension and acknowledge that policy advice is not about turning a blind eye.

AbstractIntroductionHemodialysis patients' adherence to hemodialysis sessions, medication, diet and, fluid restriction is an essential condition to ensure effective treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the overall adherence of hemodialysis patients in the Marrakech‐Safi region of Morocco.MethodsA quantitative cross‐sectional study of hemodialysis patients at the Safi, Youssoufia and Ibn Tofail public hemodialysis centers was conducted in the last trimester of 2023 using a questionnaire (ESRD‐AQ), which was completed by analyzing patient records and interviewing patients during the hemodialysis session.ResultsA total of 199 patients were included in this study. Women accounted for 53.3% of patients, 73.9% were under 65 years, 55.8% had been on hemodialysis for more than 5 years, and 62.8% had an Inter‐dialytic‐weight (IDW) ≥ 2.5 kg. Mean scores for adherence to hemodialysis, medication, diet and fluid restriction were 534.92 ± 98.71 out of 600, 113.32 ± 50.86 out of 200, 75.38 ± 42.00 out of 200 and 52.51 ± 53.59 out of 200, respectively. Regarding overall adherence, 24.1% had low adherence, 63.8% had moderate adherence, and 12.1% had good adherence, with a mean score of 793.99 ± 151.28 out of 1200. Our results showed that male gender (p = 0.010, ORa = 5.61), young age (p = 0.004, ORa = 8.48), and short duration on hemodialysis (p = 0.001, ORa = 23.91) were risk factors for low overall adherence.ConclusionOur results justify the increased need for educational programs aimed at improving the overall adherence of hemodialysis patients.

AbstractAn aged immune system undergoes substantial changes where myelopoiesis dominates within the bone marrow. Monocytic‐MDSCs (M‐MDSCs) have been found to play an important role in osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. In this study, we sought to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the osteoclastogenic potential of bone marrow M‐MDSCs during normal aging through transcriptomic and metabolic changes. Using young mature and aged mice, detailed immunophenotypic analyses of myeloid cells revealed that the M‐MDSCs were not increased in bone marrow, however M‐MDSCS were significantly expanded in peripheral tissues. Although aged mice exhibited a similar number of M‐MDSCs in bone marrow, these M‐MDSCs had significantly higher osteoclastogenic potential and greater demineralization activity. Intriguingly, osteoclast progenitors from aged bone marrow M‐MDSCs exhibited greater mitochondrial respiration rate and glucose metabolism. Further, transcriptomic analyses revealed the upregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glucose metabolism genes. Interestingly, there was 8‐fold increase in Cd38 mRNA gene expression, consistent with the Mouse Aging Cell Atlas transcriptomic database, and confirmed by qRT‐PCR. CD38 regulates NAD+ availability, and 78c, a small molecule inhibitor of CD38, reduced the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and glucose metabolism and inhibited the osteoclastogenic potential of aged mice bone marrow‐derived M‐MDSCs. These results indicate that the age‐related increase in Cd38 expression in M‐MDSCs bias the transcriptome of M‐MDSCs towards osteoclastogenesis. This enhanced understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings of M‐MDSCs and their osteoclastogenesis during aging could lead to new therapeutic approaches for age‐related bone loss and promote healthy aging.

Published: August 2024

AbstractAimSkin‐to‐skin contact (SSC) immediately after birth may improve breastfeeding outcomes. This study explored the effect of the duration of SSC in the delivery room on breastfeeding quality and duration.MethodsIn this prospective observational cohort study, mother–infant pairs practising SSC were categorised into two groups based on SSC duration (≤45 or >45 min). Outcomes included breastfeeding quality in the delivery room and at 24 h of age assessed by the Infant‐Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBFAT) score, and long‐term breastfeeding duration up to 6 months while accounting for potential confounding variables.ResultsThe study included 72 mother–infant pairs. SSC for more than 45 min was significantly correlated with longer immediate breastfeeding (65 vs. 19 min, p < 0.001) and higher breastfeeding quality scores immediately after birth (IBFAT score of 10 vs. 7, p < 0.001).Regarding the long‐term effect, infants in the extended SSC group were breastfed longer (5.2 vs. 3.7 months, p = 0.005) and had exclusive breastfeeding (4.7 vs. 2.7 months, p > 0.001). No significant confounding variables were identified.ConclusionExtended SSC (>45 min) correlated with prolonged, higher‐quality breastfeeding after birth and longer successful breastfeeding.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe Shu Commandery was an important iron production center in southwest China during the Han Dynasty (202 BC‐AD 220). In 2007, archaeologists excavated a Han Dynasty smelting furnace (L1) at the Gushishan site and collected large amounts of smelting remains including slags, furnace bricks, and ores. Scientific analysis of the excavated slags was carried out to ascertain that the Gushishan site was a pig iron smelting site. No flux was used at the Gushishan site, and the site is dated no later than the Eastern Han period. No remains related to iron casting of the Han Dynasty was found at or near the iron smelting sites in southwest China, which indicates a separation between iron smelting and iron casting as characteristics of the industrial layout in this region.
Should Doctor Robot possess moral empathy?
Authors: Sirgiovanni Elisabetta 
Published: August 2024

AbstractCritics of clinical artificial intelligence (AI) suggest that the technology is ethically harmful because it may lead to the dehumanization of the doctor–patient relationship (DPR) by eliminating moral empathy, which is viewed as a distinctively human trait. The benefits of clinical empathy—that is, moral empathy applied in the clinical context—are widely praised, but this praise is often unquestioning and lacks context. In this article, I will argue that criticisms of clinical AI based on appeals to empathy are misplaced. As psychological and philosophical research has shown, empathy leads to certain types of biased reasoning and choices. These biases of empathy consistently impact the DPR. Empathy may lead to partial judgments and asymmetric DPRs, as well as disparities in the treatment of patients, undermining respect for patient autonomy and equality. Engineers should consider the flaws of empathy when designing affective artificial systems in the future. The nature of sympathy and compassion (i.e., displaying emotional concern while maintaining some balanced distance) has been defended by some ethicists as more beneficial than perspective‐taking in the clinical context. However, these claims do not seem to have impacted the AI debate. Thus, this article will also argue that if machines are programmed for affective behavior, they should also be given some ethical scaffolding.

AbstractBackground informationExtracellular matrix (ECM)‐derived hydrogels are frequently used in three‐dimensional (3D) cell culture and organoid formation in several tissues. However, in the 3D cultivation of testicular cells, the hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel has not received as much attention. This study examined the effects of three distinct composites, including HA‐alginate (HA‐Alg), HA‐alginate‐collagen (HA‐Alg‐Col), and HA‐alginate‐decellularized ECM (HA‐Alg‐dECM), on mouse testicular cell culture and in vitro spermatogenesis.MethodsFor the creation of composites, the concentration of biomaterials used was 0.5% HA, 1% alginate, 2.5 mg/mL collagen, and 25 mg/mL dECM derived from the testicles of Rams. After 3D culture of 5 days post‐partum (dpp) mouse testicular cells for 14 days, HA‐Alg was selected as a superior composite due to the greater number and size of the produced organoids. Then, cell culture was rerun by HA‐Alg for 14 days, which was later extended for an additional 28 days. In addition, the 3D culture of 10 dpp mouse testicular cells was used to compare with 5 dpp mice on day 14. The morphology and gene expression were analyzed using appropriate techniques.ResultsOn day 14, the HA‐Alg hydrogel showed significantly more organoids in terms of size and number than the other two groups (p < 0.05); nevertheless, none of the groups showed the expected signs of testis organoids. Remarkably, on day 14, the histology and immunostaining tests revealed features of hepatocyte‐like cells (HLCs) and albumin production as a marker of HLC functionality. Furthermore, the analysis of gene expression verified the significant expression of angiogenesis markers (p < 0.01). After the extended culture to 28 days, 5 dpp testicular cells once more differentiated into erythrocytes and HLCs, while a small number of organoids showed the characteristic of renal cells. Cell culture of 10 dpp mice for 14 days showed a wide range of cell lineages, including renal, glandular, chondrocyte, and hepatocyte‐like cells in comparison to the 5 dpp mice.Conclusion and significanceWhile the HA‐Alg composite did not support spermatogenesis in the 3D culture of mouse testicular cells, it demonstrated an unpredicted potential for promoting the differentiation of neonate mouse testicular cells into HLC, erythrocytes, and other cell lineages.

Published: August 2024

AbstractGenomic structural variants (SVs) play a pivotal role in driving the evolution of hematologic malignancies, particularly in leukemia, in which genetic abnormalities are crucial features. Detecting SVs is essential for achieving precise diagnosis and prognosis in these cases. Karyotyping, often complemented by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or chromosomal microarray analysis, provides standard diagnostic outcomes for various types of SVs in front‐line testing for leukemia. Recently, optical genome mapping (OGM) has emerged as a promising technique due to its ability to detect all SVs identified by other cytogenetic methods within one single assay. Furthermore, OGM has revealed additional clinically significant SVs in various clinical laboratories, underscoring its considerable potential for enhancing front‐line testing in cases of leukemia. This review aims to elucidate the principles of conventional cytogenetic techniques and OGM, with a focus on the technical performance of OGM and its applications in diagnosing and prognosticating myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Hurdles to hops: How self‐distribution laws affect craft brewery output
Authors: Harrison James M. , Glaser Darrell J. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractWe examine the impact of laws that allow breweries to bypass distributors. We construct a model of heterogeneous firms where some states require pairing with distributors who charge fixed and marginal costs in return for additional market share. The model predicts that states without such requirements have higher output and employment due to greater entry and firm‐level production. To test this model, we exploit the adoption of self‐distribution laws from 2008 to 2019. We find that states that do not require a distributor have higher brewery output and employment, and that this is primarily driven by a greater entry of breweries.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe confluence of changing employment norms and technological innovations is bringing forth a work ecosystem characterized by increases in episodic work, virtuality, individualization of labour, and transformation of jobs. Our paper builds upon existing scholarship, and data on labour trends to propose a framework that views the interactions between key entities (workers, customers, organizations, and platforms) and institutions as continuously shaping the nature of work. Viewing micro‐ecosystems, such as gig work performed using technology platforms and traditional employment ecosystems, as subsets of this emergent work ecosystem, we generate specific propositions to guide human resource management (HRM) research and explore the implications of the emerging work ecosystem for HRM practice.

AbstractObjectiveEvidence suggests that the most promising results in interictal localization of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) are achieved by a combination of multiple stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG) biomarkers in machine learning models. These biomarkers usually include SEEG features calculated in standard frequency bands, but also high‐frequency (HF) bands. Unfortunately, HF features require extra effort to record, store, and process. Here we investigate the added value of these HF features for EZ localization and postsurgical outcome prediction.MethodsIn 50 patients we analyzed 30 min of SEEG recorded during non–rapid eye movement sleep and tested a logistic regression model with three different sets of features. The first model used broadband features (1–500 Hz); the second model used low‐frequency features up to 45 Hz; and the third model used HF features above 65 Hz. The EZ localization by each model was evaluated by various metrics including the area under the precision‐recall curve (AUPRC) and the positive predictive value (PPV). The differences between the models were tested by the Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests and Cliff's Delta effect size. The differences in outcome predictions based on PPV values were further tested by the McNemar test.ResultsThe AUPRC score of the random chance classifier was .098. The models (broad‐band, low‐frequency, high‐frequency) achieved median AUPRCs of .608, .582, and .522, respectively, and correctly predicted outcomes in 38, 38, and 33 patients. There were no statistically significant differences in AUPRC or any other metric between the three models. Adding HF features to the model did not have any additional contribution.SignificanceLow‐frequency features are sufficient for correct localization of the EZ and outcome prediction with no additional value when considering HF features. This finding allows significant simplification of the feature calculation process and opens the possibility of using these models in SEEG recordings with lower sampling rates, as commonly performed in clinical routines.
