Authors: Zhai He , Bai Sijun , Guo Min 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis study explores entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on project portfolio success in new product development projects, with the moderating effects of digitalization capability and modularization process.Design/methodology/approachThe sample data of 204 firms was used to analyze the research hypotheses. This study adopted hierarchical regression to test the theoretical conceptual model incorporating EO, digitalization capability, modularization process, and project portfolio success.FindingsThese results indicate that EO positively affects project portfolio success. More importantly, digitalization capability and modularization process positively moderate the relationship between EO and project portfolio success.Originality/valueProminent studies have focused on different antecedent and consequence factors of project portfolio success; however, the impacts of EO still need to be noticed. This study makes a pioneering effort to make up this gap and investigate the effects of EO on project portfolio success, digitalization capability, and modularization process as moderators, which can enrich the current literature on project portfolio management.
Can virtual streamers replace human streamers? The interactive effect of streamer type and product type on purchase intention
Authors: Yan Rui , Tang Zhen , Liu Dewen 
Published: August 2024

PurposeDigitally driven virtual streamers are increasingly utilized in live-streaming commerce, possessing distinct advantages compared to human streamers. However, the applicable scenarios of virtual streamers are still unclear. Focusing on product attribute variances, this paper compares the livestreaming effects of virtual and human streamers to clarify the applicable scenarios for each and assist companies in strategically choosing suitable streamers.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted four experiments utilizing both images and video as stimulus materials, and each experiment employed different products. To test the proposed model, a total of 1,068 valid participants were recruited, encompassing a diverse group of individuals, including undergraduates and employed workers.FindingsThe results indicate no significant difference between virtual and human streamers in increasing consumers’ purchase intention for utilitarian products. In contrast, human streamers are more effective in enhancing consumer purchase intention for hedonic products, with a mediating role of mental imagery quality. Consumers’ implicit personality variances also influence their willingness to accept virtual streamers.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to compare the effects of virtual and human streamers in promoting different products to enhance our comprehension of virtual streamers. Given the potential risks associated with human streamers, a comprehensive understanding of the role of virtual streamers is imperative for brands when deploying live-streaming commerce activities.
Capturing methane with recombinant soluble methane monooxygenase and recombinant methyl‐coenzyme M reductase
Authors: Sanchez‐Torres Viviana , Wood Thomas K. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMethane capture via oxidation is considered one of the ‘Holy Grails’ of catalysis (Tucci and Rosenzweig, 2024). Methane is also a primary greenhouse gas that has to be reduced by 1.2 billion metric tonnes in 10 years to decrease global warming by only 0.23°C (He and Lidstrom, 2024); hence, new technologies are needed to reduce atmospheric methane levels. In Nature, methane is captured aerobically by methanotrophs and anaerobically by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea; however, the anaerobic process dominates. Here, we describe the history and potential of using the two remarkable enzymes that have been cloned with activity for capturing methane: aerobic capture via soluble methane monooxygenase and anaerobic capture via methyl‐coenzyme M reductase. We suggest these two enzymes may play a prominent, sustainable role in addressing our current global warming crisis.

AbstractObjectiveRenal colic (RC) is a common urologic emergency often leading to significant pain and recurrent hospital visits. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of piroxicam versus paracetamol in preventing pain recurrence and hospital readmission in patients treated for RC and discharged from the emergency department (ED).MethodsA prospective, randomized, single‐blind trial was conducted in four EDs. Eligible adults with RC were randomized to receive oral piroxicam, paracetamol, or placebo for 5 days post–ED discharge. Primary outcomes included pain recurrence and ED readmission within 7 days. Secondary outcomes included time to recurrence and treatment‐related side effects.ResultsOf 1383 enrolled patients, no significant differences were observed among the groups regarding baseline characteristics. Pain recurrence rates within 7 days were 29% (95% confidence interval [CI] 24.9%–33.2%) for piroxicam, 30.3% (95% CI 26.1%–34.5%) for paracetamol, and 30.8% (95% CI 26.6%–35.0%) for placebo, with no significant between‐group differences (p = 0.84). Among patients experiencing recurrence, the majority encounter it within the initial 2 days following their discharge (86% in the piroxicam group, 84.1% in the paracetamol group, and 86% in the placebo group, respectively). ED readmission rates were similar across groups: 20.8% (95% CI 17.1%–24.5%) in the piroxicam group, 23.8% (95% CI 19.9%–27.7%) in the paracetamol group, and 22.9% (95% CI 19.1%–26.8%) in the placebo group (p = 0.52). The piroxicam group reported significantly higher adverse effects compared to others.ConclusionsPiroxicam and paracetamol did not demonstrate efficacy in preventing pain recurrence or ED readmission within the first week following RC treatment.

Published: August 2024

AbstractEndodontic microsurgery guided by navigation systems represents a precise and minimally invasive approach for retreatment of apical periodontitis following failed conventional endodontic therapy. Accurate localization and minimal access to the root apex are paramount for successful outcomes and preservation of anatomical structures. Workflow considerations, such as three‐dimensional (3D) virtual planning and endodontic guidance represent new crucial aspects for addressing complex cases. This clinical case report presents the successful reintervention of a complex case using a Zekrya bur, operative microscopy, cone beam computed tomography and biocompatible materials. After a 48‐month follow‐up, complete healing of the treated area was observed. This minimally invasive technique, employing a simple instrument widely available globally, underscores the potential for efficient and predictable outcomes in complex endodontic microsurgical retreatment.
Chapter 8. Isotopic evidence for protohistoric field locations in northeastern Illinois
Authors: Schurr Mark R. , McLeester Madeleine 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn the western Great Lakes region of the United States, late prehistoric and early historic Indigenous fields are often difficult to investigate because their archaeological signatures are faint and easily destroyed. They have been identified largely via rare remnants of raised fields and historical records. With the majority of Indigenous fields destroyed, important aspects of cultivation remain ambiguous, especially the ecology of cultivated areas. In addition to archaeological indicators of field location, the choice of specific environmental settings (prairie, wetland, upland forest, etc.) can be encoded in the stable isotope ratios of cultigens. Stable carbon‐ and nitrogen‐isotope ratios of maize kernels and wood charcoal from the Middle Grant Creek site (11WI2739), an early 17th century village in northeastern Illinois, are used to better understand agricultural practices during one of the coldest periods of the Little Ice Age.
Chapter 11. Finding fields: Concluding remarks
Authors: Miller Naomi F. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractAncient agricultural landscapes are increasingly recognized as a vital subject of archaeological inquiry, the study of which requires methods and approaches of the social and natural sciences as well as the humanities. This chapter identifies three recurring themes addressed variously in the contributions to this volume that demonstrate the broad relevance of agricultural landscapes to an understanding of ancient society: globalization and hierarchy, niche construction, and memory embedded in agricultural practice and material traces of ancient fields.
Chapter 2. Stone by stone: Women's quotidian farm labor and the construction of the Khutwaneng farmscape in Bokoni, South Africa
Authors: Schoeman Alex 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe ruins of stone‐walled towns, villages, and homesteads mark the residential nodes of Bokoni, a polity that thrived in northeastern South Africa from the late 15th to the early 19th century and extended over about 30 000 km2. These residential structures are generally observable on aerial photographs and satellite imagery, but with a few exceptions, the terraced gardens and fields are less visible. Lidar data from one of Bokoni's towns—Khutwaneng—has made finding the fields easier. In this 17th to early 19th‐century town, all homesteads have adjacent terraced gardens or fields, irrespective of whether they are well‐established or newly built. Lidar imagery of terraces that were being built in newly established homesteads supports the view that most terraces grew over time and were the result of quotidian actions by farmers. The pervasiveness of terraces throughout the town suggests that urban farming was an entrenched component of Bokoni's urban life. In southern Africa, daily farming duties were historically performed by women, and it is likely that this was also the case in Bokoni. Understanding the terraces as the product of women's quotidian labor allows for reflection on the role that women and their actions as farmers played in shaping the Khutwaneng farmscape, and it in shaping them.

Published: August 2024

SummaryBackgroundFaecal haemoglobin (f‐Hb) testing is used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and increasingly to guide the investigation in patients with symptoms suggestive of CRC. Studies have demonstrated increased mortality with raised f‐Hb.AimsTo assess the association of raised f‐Hb with all‐cause, non‐CRC (any cause excluding CRC) and cause‐specific mortality.MethodsWe searched Medline and Embase on 9 February 2024 to identify papers reporting mortality after faecal immunochemical (FIT) or guaiac faecal occult blood tests (gFOBT). The primary outcome was all‐cause mortality following a positive compared to a negative test.ResultsThe search identified 3155 papers. Ten met the inclusion criteria: three reported gFOBT and seven reported FIT results, as screening tests. These reported a total of 14,687,625 f‐Hb results. Elevated f‐Hb was associated with an increased risk of all‐cause, non‐CRC and cause‐specific mortality including death from cardiovascular, digestive and respiratory diseases. Crude risk ratios for all‐cause mortality with a positive versus negative test were derived from six papers (three reporting gFOBT, three FIT). An increased risk was demonstrated in five, with RRs ranging from 1.11 (95% CI: 1.06–1.16) to 2.95 (95% CI: 2.85–3.05). For non‐CRC mortality risk, RRs ranged from 1.09 (95% CI: 1.04–1.15) to 2.79 (95% CI: 2.70–2.89). We did not perform meta‐analysis due to a limited number of papers reporting suitable results for each type of f‐Hb test.ConclusionsAll‐cause, non‐CRC and cause‐specific mortality appear higher in those with raised f‐Hb. Population‐based studies are warranted to elicit whether this association occurs in symptomatic patients.

Published: August 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe SafetyCrown workflow facilitates the immediate restoration of posterior single sites with the one‐abutment/one‐time concept. This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the direct effect of immediate restoration on dental patient‐reported outcomes (dPROs), feasibility, implant accuracy, and time.Materials and MethodsParticipants with a single posterior edentulous site for late implant placement underwent optical impressions, shade selection, and cone beam computed tomography. After virtual treatment planning, they were randomized into the test group and the control group. For the test group, individual definitive hybrid abutments were prefabricated. The next step was a fully guided surgery with printed guides. After the implant was placed using guided surgery, the abutment was inserted. A chairside CAD/CAM workflow was used to provide the patient with a provisional restoration. Implants in the control group were left submerged to heal. Oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed using the OHIP‐G14, and dPRO was measured using a 10‐item visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire. Additional measurements of implant accuracy and time were performed. Follow‐up was performed 7 to 10 days after implant placement.ResultsThirty‐nine participants with 45 restorations were included (test group: 23, control: 22). Immediate restoration was successful in 21 out of 23 implants (91.3%) in the test group. Both groups exhibited decreased OHRQoL without significant intergroup differences, while patient satisfaction was high overall. Test group participants perceived higher benefits and satisfaction with immediate loading than participants in the control group. Implant accuracy averaged 0.60 mm at the shoulder and 0.95 mm at the apex. Operative time was longer in the immediate loading group (61.9 min) than in the control group (32.1 min) (p < 0.001).ConclusionsConsidering the limitations, the immediate restoration of late placed posterior implants using the described workflow proved feasible in 21 out of 23 cases. Both groups achieved high patient satisfaction with no differences in OHRQoL during the first week. Patients who received immediate loading rated the benefits very highly and were satisfied with the provisional restoration during the healing period.

Published: August 2024

AbstractObjectivesThis retrospective study compared the outcomes of implants placed in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) treated sites with those in spontaneously healed (SH) sites.Materials and MethodsThe study included patients presenting with one implant placed in an ARP‐treated socket and one in an SH site. The primary outcome was the comparison of Marginal Bone Level Changes (MBLC). Statistical analysis was performed to identify factors influencing MBLC, including age, gender, smoking, parafunctional habits, and prosthetic emergence angle.ResultsOf these, 28 patients (23 females, 82.1%) were included in this analysis. Sockets in the SH group were classified as type I, whereas type II sockets were more common in the ARP group. The SH group exhibited significantly higher MBLC than the ARP group (p = 0.032), with values, respectively, of 1.00 [0.25; 1.62] and 0.40 [0.00; 1.00] mm. Among all evaluated parameters, the performance of ARP was the only factor significantly affecting MBLC (β = −0.72, SE: 0.32, p = 0.026). Age, gender, smoking, parafunctional habits, and prosthetic emergence angle did not significantly affect MBLC.ConclusionsThe study shows the potential role of ARP in maintaining stable marginal bone levels around implants. In our sample, ARP significantly reduced MBLC compared with spontaneous healing, highlighting its possible impact in clinical practice for better peri‐implant bone stability.

AbstractAimsWe evaluated the potential of Parkinson's disease (PD) fecal microbiota transplantation to initiate or exacerbate PD pathologies and investigated the underlying mechanisms.MethodsWe transplanted the fecal microbiota from PD patients into mice by oral gavage and assessed the motor and intestinal functions, as well as the inflammatory and pathological changes in the colon and brain. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing combined with metabolomics analysis was conducted to assess the impacts of fecal delivery on the fecal microbiota and metabolism in recipient mice.ResultsThe fecal microbiota from PD patients increased intestinal inflammation, deteriorated intestinal barrier function, intensified microglia and astrocyte activation, abnormal deposition of α‐Synuclein, and dopaminergic neuronal loss in the brains of A53T mice. A mechanistic study revealed that the fecal microbiota of PD patients stimulated the TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 pathway in both the brain and colon. Additionally, multiomics analysis found that transplantation of fecal microbiota from PD patients not only altered the composition of the gut microbiota but also influenced the fecal metabolic profile of the recipient mice.ConclusionThe fecal microbiota from PD patients intensifies inflammation and neurodegeneration in A53T mice. Our findings demonstrate that imbalance and dysfunction in the gut microbiome play significant roles in the development and advancement of PD.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTBackground and ObjectiveCOPD and bronchiectasis are common causes of morbidity, particularly around exacerbation. Colonisation with respiratory pathogens can increase the frequency and severity of exacerbations. However, bacterial and viral presence at exacerbation in people with airway colonisation has not been well studied.MethodsA 6‐month cohort study of participants (n = 30) with chronic bronchitis due to bronchiectasis (n = 26) and/or COPD (n = 13) and colonisation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Haemophilus influenzae was proven on two sputum cultures at exacerbation in the previous 12 months. Participants were provided self‐management education and collected sputum samples daily. Sputum samples at baseline (at least 14 days before or after an exacerbation) and at each exacerbation were examined for a panel of 34 respiratory pathogens using commercially available RT‐PCR kits and compared to results obtained using culture methods for the detection of bacteria.ResultsParticipants provided 29 baseline samples and 71 samples at exacerbation. In 17/29 baseline samples, RT‐PCR analysis confirmed the organism demonstrated by culture, while 12 samples showed a discrepancy from culture results. Most exacerbations (57.7%) were not associated with acquiring new bacteria or viruses, while 19.8% showed new bacteria, 15.7% new viruses and 7% both new viruses and bacteria.ConclusionOver half of exacerbations were not associated with new organisms in this cohort of participants with chronic bronchitis and colonisation. However, 26.8% demonstrated a new bacterial species in sputum, which is relevant for antibiotic therapy. Baseline RT‐PCR and culture results were discordant in one‐third of participants.
