Weighting in-text citation location and context meanings for proposing citation quality score metric
Authors: Yaniasih Yaniasih , Budi Indra 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe assessment of citation value necessitates considering the number of citations and the specific characteristics of in-text citations. This article establishes the significance of location and contextual meaning attributes in determining the citation value. It also aims to create a framework for assessing the quality score metric of citations.Design/methodology/approachThe ground truth weights are created using expert opinion through the best-worst method (BWM). Automatic weighting is required for future metric development. Therefore, ground truth weights are compared to five objective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods: (1) standard deviation, (2) Gini coefficient, (3) entropy, (4) criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (CRITIC) and (5) method based on criteria removal effects (MEREC). The selected weights are then utilized to create the metric framework.FindingsThe highest ground truth weight for the citation attributes is in the method section location (0.2176), positive sentiment (0.4455), role source from the method (0.3537) and function as a comparison (0.2554). The objective method closest to the ground truth is MEREC. Three types of citation quality score (CQS) metrics are developed to assess the significance of citation in a single appearance in a text, within a citing document and across all available data. Notably, a significant correlation exists between proposed metrics and expert judgment.Originality/valueThis article presents a novel citation metric that prioritizes quality factors over traditional metrics, focusing solely on numbers. Comparing various MCDM approaches is a novel approach to scientific measurement research.
A localised participatory research agenda for social enterprises: an application in Palestine
Authors: Testi Enrico , Kattan Fadi , Morrar Rabeh , Vineis Vittoria 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology to create a localised participatory research agenda (LPRA) for social enterprises (SEs) to bridge the gap between the information needs of stakeholders in SE ecosystems (SEEs) and academics.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology incorporates a literature review, semi-structured key informant interviews and a questionnaire. A participatory approach was used engaging stakeholders of the SE sector in Palestine to elaborate the research agenda.

Findings
The proposed LPRA methodology, centred on localised and participatory engagement, has shown effectiveness in bridging the gap between stakeholders and academics in SEs research. Piloted in Palestine, it provided relevant insights and enabled the grassroots identification of policy directions to improve the local SEE. Being tested in the specific context of Palestine, the methodology demonstrates considerable adaptability to different maturity levels of SEEs and varied socio-economic environments. Nonetheless, further research is necessary to refine the LPRA methodology and determine its suitability in diverse SE contexts.

Practical implications
The present methodology offers the advantage of involving local stakeholders, enabling their participation in the construction of knowledge and serving as a possible tool for researchers to fulfil the Third Mission of the university. The methodology could be particularly useful in contexts that have uncommon political, economic or social features and need a tailored approach when building research questions and answers for local stakeholders; in contexts where non-local researchers could use the methodology to mitigate biases stemming from the application of non-local perspectives; and when the research is aimed at the creation of useful knowledge for the development of the ecosystem.

Originality/value
Conventional research agendas are typically developed by academics based on literature reviews. Such agendas, even if valuable for furthering research, often do not have a geographical focus and neglect the needs of diverse stakeholders in the SEE. The LPRA for SEs addresses this gap by providing a methodology able to include local SE stakeholders in building a research agenda tailored to address their specific information needs.

ABSTRACTThis study revealed that 41.9% of wild‐born Japanese captive dolphins (18 out of 43 dolphins) have neutralizing antibodies specific to cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV). This finding indicates a widespread yet undetected CeMV infection among wild dolphins in the waters around Japan, occurring without notable epidemic or mass mortality of dolphins.
Highly Dynamic Archaeal and Bacterial Communities From the Surface to the Deep in the Atlantic Ocean

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThough archaea are ubiquitous in the oceans, at times present in quantities equal to bacteria, in general, archaea are underreported when compared with bacteria, and little is known about archaeal connectivity in the ocean. Here, we present the first time series data of size‐fractionated archaea with temporal resolution of days across a depth transect in the oligotrophic Atlantic Ocean. Archaeal communities were variable from day to day, both in regards to community composition and relative abundance. In the context of the total prokaryotic community, we found that water depth and particle size were both determinants of the archaeal share of microbial populations, though the archaeal portion of the community was less discriminating between size and depth classes than the rest of the community. Quantitative PCR shows lower relative abundances of archaea in the deep Atlantic Ocean than previously reported. Overall, we find far lower connectivity between depths in the Atlantic Ocean than suggested by previous studies.
Physical Fit: The Role of Sports in Elite Hiring in Norway
Authors: Sølvberg Lisa M. B. , Rivera Lauren A. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTSports participation serves as an important marker of elite distinction that is useful for getting in and getting on in elite workplaces. However, much of the work on the stratifying power of sports in the workplace has focussed on highly unequal societies, like the United Kingdom and the United States, and workplaces within the economic elite. In this paper, we examine elite hiring in Norway, a country that is more egalitarian with respect to social class and gender than countries that are typically the focus of elite research. Drawing from 50 interviews with hiring agents and ethnographic observation of hiring processes in nine organisations, we examine whether and how (1) sports are used in elite Norwegian hiring, and (2) these processes vary between elite labour market sectors that have different compositions of economic and cultural capital. We find that sports are indeed a salient basis of elite hiring in Norway. As in more unequal countries, elite employers intentionally seek out candidates with extensive sporting histories, especially in traditionally high‐class, stereotypically masculine sports. However, we find two departures from prior research. First, we find that the emphasis on sports participation—especially extensive participation in high‐level organised sporting leagues during adulthood—was strongest in the economic and balanced fractions of the Norwegian elite and least pronounced in the cultural fraction. Second, employers in the economic and balanced fractions favoured current athletes in part because they believed the bodies of athletes brought direct symbolic and economic value to their firms, due to unique aspects of the Norwegian employment landscape. Our work highlights how local features of labour markets shape the construction and deployment of evaluative criteria in hiring. It also shows that physical capital has economic conversion value in certain elite labour markets.
The influence of perceived difficulty, availability of marks, and examination time on the conclusions of firearms examiners

Published: February 2025

AbstractConcurrent with studies on the accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of decisions based on comparisons of fired bullet and cartridge cases, we also collected the opinions of the participating examiners as to the characteristics of the specimens provided and the difficulty of making comparisons. Examiners rated the ease with which they determined every conclusion (easy, average, hard) and estimated qualitatively the amount of visual information available to them in determining a conclusion (limited, some, extensive). Comparisons deemed hard were perceived generally to have somewhat fewer markings conducive for assessment, while comparisons where the markings were limited produced a larger number of inconclusive determinations. Perceived difficulty increased with wider separation in firing order (within or between three defined segments of 700–850 total firings). The repeatability of these qualitative assessments exceeded 60% and their average reproducibility was ~50%. Examination times did not vary significantly when rendering decisions of identification, elimination, or inconclusive, although bullet identifications appear to have taken slightly longer than those for cartridge cases. Hard comparisons, where the amount of information was limited, were not treated substantially differently from any other types of comparison. No correlation was found between difficulty and number of comparisons attempted. These results tend to contradict assertions by critics that examiners are tempted to declare inconclusive decisions to save time and avoid rendering an elimination or identification conclusion, or that the results are non‐representative of casework, or that perceived difficulty affected the degree of examiner participation.

AbstractBackgroundDespite the importance of effective communication during verbal de‐escalation, research regarding patient primary language during management of agitation symptoms is limited. We evaluated associations between patient primary language and use of physical restraints and intramuscular (IM) sedation in the emergency department (ED).MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort analysis evaluating physical restraint and IM sedation characteristics using electronic medical records from 13 EDs affiliated with a large regional health care network located in the northeast United States. Data were collected for ED visits from 2013 to 2023 for all adult patients ages 18 and older. We performed logistic regression models using the presence of physical restraint and IM sedation orders as primary outcomes, adjusting for patient primary language, sex assigned at birth, age, race and ethnicity, and chief complaints.ResultsIn our analysis of 3,406,474 visits, 3,086,512 included English speakers, 250,912 included Spanish speakers, 9,057 included Portuguese speakers, 6,616 included Arabic speakers, 6,425 included Italian speakers, 39,303 included other language speakers, and 7,649 included unknown language speakers; 18,546 visits included use of physical restraints and 48,277 visits included use of IM sedation. After demographic and clinical characteristics were adjusted for, visits with Spanish‐ and Portuguese‐speaking patients had a reduced likelihood of physical restraints and IM sedation compared to English speakers, with adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 0.70 (0.65–0.76) and 0.82 (0.79–0.87) for Spanish speakers and 0.39 (0.20–0.68) and 0.84 (0.66–1.05) for Portuguese speakers, respectively.ConclusionsED visits with Spanish‐ and Portuguese‐speaking patients were found to have lower odds of physical restraints and IM sedation, while Arabic, Italian, other, and unknown language–speaking patients were found to have higher odds. Factors contributing to linguistic differences in physical restraint and IM sedation use, such as cultural interpretations of behavior, quality of clinical interactions, and patient–clinician communication strategies, merit further investigation.

ABSTRACTThis trial aimed to compare the success of mental‐incisive nerve blocks (MINB) on mandibular premolars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) after oral premedication using 10 mg ketorolac or a placebo. One hundred and two patients were randomly divided into two groups. One hour prior to the administration of a MINB the patients were administered oral premedication's of either ketorolac or dextrose (placebo). The success of anaesthesia was verified by the absence of pain during the access cavity preparation or root canal instrumentation. Descriptive analysis was performed and one‐way ANOVA was utilised for quantitative variables. Categorical data were analysed using chi‐squared tests. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess the relationship among age, sex, type of premedication taken, preoperative pain score and tooth length to the pain outcome. The efficacy of MINB on mandibular premolars with SIP was not influenced significantly by the preoperative oral administration of ketorolac.Trial Registration: CTRI/2021/11/038115
Understory Diversity Affects Monodominance of Anogeissus leiocarpa

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe persistence of monodominant communities in tropical ecosystems, known for their high diversity, has challenged tropical ecologists. Species diversity could influence the persistence of monodominance by limiting the competitive edge of the monodominant species particularly in the forest understory. However, the role of stand diversity or demographic structure in maintaining monodominance particularly in early life stage in forest understory remains elusive. We studied Anogeissus leiocarpa in monodominant stands in West Africa. We used generalised linear mixed effect models to test the effect of stand species diversity on stem density and dominance of A. leiocarpa in the understory and how this effect changes from the stand centre to the edge. Anogeissus leiocarpa density and dominance decreased from the stand centre to the periphery. Anogeissus leiocarpa dominance in the understory was below 50% on average, suggesting that monodominance emerges during the transition from the understory to the canopy. Increase in community diversity had negative effects on A. leiocarpa seedlings density perhaps due to increased diversity in competition mechanisms. Contrary to our expectation for a pioneer species, A. leiocarpa lacked vigorous recruitment and did not exhibit the expected negative exponential population structure. The diameter‐ and height‐based size class distributions were not correlated across populations, indicating that using the population structure as an ecological diagnostic tool could lead to suboptimal conservation decisions.

ABSTRACTThe African large predator guild is one of the last intact large predator guilds globally, and interactions between its members influence ecosystem functioning. We conducted camera‐trapping in the Maasai Mara Ecosystem (MME) to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population density and investigate whether lion (Panthera leo) and hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) impact leopard presence, while accounting for potential prey presence and habitat. In 2019, we deployed cameras at 34 stations in the Mara Triangle within the MME for 63 nights. We estimated leopard density using a closed population spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) framework and examined potential predictors of leopard presence using generalised linear mixed modelling. We recorded 725 leopard images and estimated population density at 1.90 ± 0.56 individuals 100 km2−1, relatively low compared to other areas and only slightly higher than previous MME estimates of cheetah, an ecologically subordinate competitor. The best model predicting leopard presence contained hyaena occurrence and showed a positive association, indicating ‘co‐occurrence’. Hyaenas commonly kleptoparasitise leopard kills in MME; that is hyaenas may follow leopards for this reason. Although our preliminary results indicate that hyaena populations may limit leopard populations in the MME, further work is required to explicitly test hypotheses relating to hyaena–leopard interactions.
Power, costs, collective action, bargaining, and solidarity
Authors: Abizadeh Arash 
Published: February 2025

AbstractSome argue that the more costly it would be to exercise one's power over an issue, the less power one inherently has over it. I challenge this thesis with two major objections—one conceptual, the other practical or explanatory—contending that costs influence issue‐power not inherently but contingently in specifically strategic contexts. Since agents’ strategic dispositions are partly shaped by their perception of others’ strategic incentives or dispositions, costs may affect—for better or worse!—one's bargaining power (in cases of conflict) or power to act in concert with others (in cases of shared preferences or aims). In many significant political contexts, greater costs increase actors’ social power. Moreover, a group's collective power, and so its members’ power‐with, depend not only on the external cost structure, but also on opportunities for forging solidarity. The role of costs and solidarity explains why subjection to others can, paradoxically, sometimes increase one's power.
Diplomatic Training and Spaces of Anticolonial Worldmaking
Authors: Craggs Ruth , Harris Jonathan , McConnell Fiona 
Published: February 2025

AbstractFocusing on training for African diplomats from newly independent countries in Cameroon, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, this paper makes the case for spaces of diplomatic training as sites for anticolonial “worldmaking” (Getachew 2019; Worldmaking After Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self‐Determination). Recent scholarship has highlighted the value of African leaders’ visions but largely overlooked the actors, spaces, and practices through which these visions were to be enacted. Drawing on archival evidence from Africa, Europe, and North America, and oral history interviews, we argue that worldmaking projects were grounded, learnt, and transformed in places such as the classrooms and study tours we explore. Whilst many accounts of anticolonial and subaltern geopolitical projects focus on grassroots activism beyond and against the state, we argue we also need to attend to the contributions of those—like African diplomats in training—who critiqued Eurocentric and colonial international relations from subaltern positions whilst remaining privileged within the context of the postcolonial state.

Background and PurposeAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. ALS pathogenesis involves intricate processes within motor neurons, characterized by dysregulated Ca2+ influx and buffering in early ALS‐affected motor neurones. This study proposes the modulation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs), key mediators of intracellular Ca2+, as a therapeutic target.Experimental ApproachA novel class of novel FKBP12 ligands that show activity as cytosolic calcium modulators through stabilizing RyR channel activity, were tested in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)G93A mouse model of ALS. Different outcomes were used to assess treatment efficacy, including electrophysiology, histopathology, neuromuscular function and survival.Key ResultsAmong the novel FKBP12 ligands, MP‐010 was chosen for its central nervous system availability and favourable in vitro pharmaco‐toxicological profile. Chronic administration of MP‐010 to SOD1G93A mice produced preservation of motor nerve conduction, with the 61‐mg·kg−1 dose significantly delaying the onset of motor impairment. This was accompanied by improved motor coordination, increased innervated endplates and significant preservation of motor neurones in the spinal cord of treated mice. Notably, MP‐010 treatment significantly extended lifespan by an average of 10 days compared to vehicle.Conclusions and ImplicationsFKBP12 ligands, particularly MP‐010, exhibit promising neuroprotective effects in ALS, highlighting their potential as novel therapeutic agents. Further investigations into the molecular mechanisms and clinical translatability of these compounds are needed for their application in ALS treatment.

ABSTRACTSteroid‐resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a severe kidney disorder linked to over 60 genes, including NUP85, which plays a key role in nuclear pore function and glomerulogenesis. We identified a novel homozygous NUP85 variant (NM_024844.5: c.1379G > A, p.Arg460Gln) in a pediatric SRNS patient who also presented with cleft lip‐palate and mild intellectual disability, marking the first reported association of these phenotypes with a NUP85 variant. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the variant destabilizes the protein's helix bundle, providing mechanistic insights into its potential pathogenic effects. This study broadens the known phenotypic spectrum of NUP85‐related conditions and highlights the value of computational tools, such as molecular dynamics, in unraveling the impact of novel variants.
