Who is John Galt? From rational egoism to social responsibility through entrepreneurial passion
Authors: Bogatyreva Karina 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Enterprising individuals are frequently portrayed as rational agents who maximize their own interests. At the same time, an increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use social responsibility strategies, incorporating collective interests into their business agenda. This study aims to analyze the interplay between the rational and emotional aspects of the entrepreneurial personal identity and address its implications for the socially responsible behavior of businesses by drawing on the literature on entrepreneurial identity, the objectivism (rational egoism) philosophical perspective and the concept of entrepreneurial passion.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 333 Russian SMEs is used to test the research hypotheses. The study follows the quantitative research strategy, wherein the main assumptions are examined based on mediation testing techniques.

Findings
The results suggest that entrepreneurs whose personal identities are rooted in objectivism values are less likely to foster culture of social responsibility within their firms. At the same time, their entrepreneurial passion mitigates the negative effect of objectivism on social responsiveness of the venture.

Originality/value
This research enhances the understanding of entrepreneurial personality and can help policymakers promote social responsibility in small and medium businesses, showing that they need to communicate effectively with SMEs’ leaders and align their policies with entrepreneurial values and beliefs.

AbstractHyperlipidemia has been suggested to be associated with dysregulation of lipid metabolism and gut microbiota. The present study prepared microencapsulated rice bran (MRB) with high stability based on in situ rice bran oil embedding and investigated the effects of MRB on lipid metabolism and gut microbiota in hyperlipidemic mice induced by high‐fat diet (HFD). Results showed that compared to HFD fed mice, lipid levels in serum and hepatic lipid accumulation were reduced in mice fed with MRB, which was potentially associated with the fact that MRB decreased the expression of genes related to lipogenesis (Srebp1c, Acc, Hmgcr, and Fas) and increased the expression of genes related to lipid catabolism (Hsl, Atgl) and oxidation (Acox, Cpt1, Ucp1) (p < 0.05). In gut, MRB supplementation significantly elevated the abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Dubosiella and Faecalibaculum. In addition, significant increase in short‐chain fatty acid was observed in mice from MRB groups when compared to HFD groups (p < 0.05). Overall, this study suggested that MRB could alleviate the hyperlipidemia induced by HFD, which was related to the alteration of lipid metabolism and gut microbiota.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe fishing gear deployed by fishermen in seas and oceans throughout the world not only captures target species but also unintentionally ensnares non‐target species, a phenomenon known as ‘by‐catch’. This unintended capture of marine life can represent significant challenges for the fishing industry, with adverse impacts on both the environment and species such as sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds and elasmobranchs, which may be injured or even killed. To address this problem, the fishing industry has implemented regulations and mitigation measures. In this literature review, we have examined 389 papers published between 2010 and 2022 that assess the effectiveness of these measures. Taking into account the fishing gear with which each group interacts the most, trawls for sea turtles, gillnets for marine mammals and longlines for seabirds and elasmobranchs, it has been demonstrated that ‘TEDs’ (Turtle Excluder Devices) are an effective measure for sea turtles, ‘pingers’ for marine mammals and ‘BSLs’ (Bird Scaring Lines), more commonly known as ‘tori lines’, for seabirds. The most complex case is that of elasmobranchs, and the most effective measure has yet to be discovered. This complexity arises from the ongoing targeted fishing of these species, resulting in less monitoring of their catches and, therefore, fewer surveys. Overall, we encourage the global implementation of these measures by the fishing industry in order to reduce by‐catch in an attempt to ensure the future of many endangered species.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundIt is unclear if immunomodulation via cytokine adsorption (CA) to reduce perioperative inflammatory cascade in cardiothoracic transplants is associated with better outcomes.ObjectiveThis pilot study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of intraoperative CA in heart/lung transplantation.MethodsFrom July to October 2020, intraoperative CA was instituted in 11 patients who underwent heart/lung transplantation. One‐to‐one propensity score matching without replacement was conducted with historical patients who did not receive CA at the time of surgery. Primary end‐points evaluated were vasopressor/ inotropic demands, blood loss and mortality. Secondary end‐points measured were operative morbidities.ResultsAfter matching, there were 2 (18.2%) ventricular assist device explant with heart transplantation, 2 (18.2%) heart transplantation and 7 (63.6%) lung transplantation in each group. Mean age in both groups were 53.3 years and 54.9 years respectively.The duration of noradrenaline requirement in the CA group was shorter (median, 1627 versus 3144 min, P = 0.5) and postoperative dopamine demand was significantly higher (median peak dose, 5.0 versus 0 μg/kg/min, P = 1.0; median duration of use, 7729 versus 0 min, P = 0.01). Non‐red blood cell transfusion rate was two times higher in CA patients (90.9% versus 45.4%, P = 0.06). Early mortality was higher in the control group (18.2% versus 9.1%, P = 1.0).No differences were observed in the incidences of operative morbidities.ConclusionIntraoperative CA in heart and lung transplantation in our institution was not associated with significant improvement in clinical outcomes, including vasopressor/inotropic demand. Larger studies are required to evaluate the transfusion requirements and mortality risks with CA use in this patient population.

Published: July 2024

AbstractAimThere is no consensus on the best prophylaxis for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in infancy. We studied the efficacy and safety of sotalol.MethodThis retrospective study comprised infants diagnosed with SVT before 1 year of age and treated with sotalol during 2002–2018 in Stockholm, Sweden. The patients' characteristics, comorbidities, sotalol dosages, QT intervals and outcomes were extracted from their medical records.ResultsWe studied 85 infants (65% boys) with a median age of eight (range 0–288) days at the time of diagnosis, including 78 with re‐entry tachycardia. Sotalol was completely or partially successful in the 67/75 patients who completed the treatment, as well as in four of the seven patients with other tachycardia mechanisms. The 48 infants with postnatal debut had significantly higher success rates than the 27 with foetal debut (96% vs. 78%, p = 0.04). Prolongation of corrected QT (QTc) intervals of ≥450 ms occurred in 16% of the total cohort and two patients with QTc intervals of ≥500 ms had their treatment changed. There were no cases of proarrhythmia after sotalol treatment.ConclusionSotalol provided effective and safe prophylaxis for SVT during infancy. QTc prolongation rarely caused treatment discontinuation and there were no cases of proarrhythmia.
Exploring the “inner compass”: How career strivings relate to career self‐management and career success
Authors: Hirschi Andreas , Pang Dandan 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis research investigates the relations between career strivings, career self‐management behaviors, and career success. Examining 312 German workers with two measurement waves, Study 1 reveals that career strivings significantly positively relate to engagement in various career behaviors, extending beyond the scope of established motivational variables. Specifically, we observed that self‐enhancement strivings correlate with self‐promotion activities, self‐transcendent strivings with helping behaviors, and personal growth strivings with continuous learning. In Study 2, incorporating three measurement waves and involving 299 German workers, examines how these career strivings differentially relate to objective career success and career satisfaction. Our findings indicate that self‐enhancement strivings are associated with higher leadership positions and workplace status, while self‐transcendent and personal growth strivings are linked to greater career satisfaction. Additionally, self‐enhancement strivings indirectly relate to career satisfaction through increased recognition. In contrast, self‐transcendent and personal growth strivings relate to satisfaction through experiences of meaningful work and personal development. This research underscores the significance of career strivings in influencing career self‐management behaviors and success, providing novel insights into the complex interplay between individual aspirations and professional outcomes.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBarveh Tepe, an archaeological site from the Early Bronze Age in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, was the focus of an archaeometric analysis in this study. The aim was to evaluate the firing temperature of excavated pottery sherds from Barveh Tepe and to gain insights into the pottery‐making techniques employed. A range of analytical methods, including optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD), was utilized to characterize the pottery sherds. The results revealed the utilization of two primary types of raw clays: calcite‐rich (calcareous) and calcite‐poor (non‐calcareous). The presence of calcite in calcareous pottery samples was confirmed, with the calcareous pottery showing a low CO3−2 vibrational band, indicating a low firing temperature. Through the integration of SEM images, FTIR spectra, TGA curve and XRD pattern results, the estimated firing temperature range for Barveh Tepe pottery was determined to be between 600 and 1100°C. These findings provide new insights into the pottery‐making practices of the Early Bronze Age and shed light on the technological advancements of the period.

Published: July 2024

AbstractManaging colon cancer with intestinal nonrotation, a type of congenital intestinal malrotation, is challenging due to the presence of anatomical abnormalities and severe adhesions. When patients have nonrotation, it is markedly more difficult to determine which vessels correspond to the colic vessels and ileal vessels until all vascular branching patterns become evident. The optimal approach for right‐sided colon cancer with intestinal nonrotation has yet to be established. In the present case of ascending colon cancer with intestinal nonrotation, we performed laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with D3 dissection using a modified cranial approach. This approach involves tracing, without resecting, branches from the superior mesenteric vein and superior mesenteric artery in a cranial‐to‐caudal manner until the ileocolic artery and ileocolic vein, which course toward the cecum, are identified, followed by the dissection of the colic vessels and lymph nodes in a caudal‐to‐cranial fashion.

Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroductionThis article aims to characterise hospital admissions involving opioid toxicity across South Australia to guide future implementation and evaluation of risk mitigation strategies.MethodsInternational Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition codes (T40.0–T40.4) were used to identify admissions involving pre‐hospital opioid toxicity in public hospitals across South Australia from 1 June 2017 to 30 August 2020. Demographic and episode of care data were extracted and summarised using descriptive statistics. Admission cost estimates were calculated using Independent Hospital Pricing Authority data.ResultsA total of 2046 cases met the criteria for inclusion; over half (56%) were female and median age on admission was 44 years (interquartile range 27 years). Where opioid toxicity was the primary diagnosis, 70% of admissions did not specify the responsible opioid and 23% were related to heroin use. One‐fifth of admissions occurred outside of metropolitan Adelaide. Individuals living in an area of relative socio‐economic disadvantage were over‐represented. Over half of admissions required a stay >24 h; 19% were admitted for ≥5 days, 22% required intensive care and ~10% required mechanical ventilation. The total estimated cost of admissions involving opioid toxicity in South Australia over the 3‐year period was $18,230,546.50, equating to $5.6 million per annum.Discussions and ConclusionsThese findings highlight the significant personal, fiscal, and systemic impacts of opioid toxicity‐related hospital admissions in South Australia and provide a baseline to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives to reduce opioid‐related harm, including real‐time prescription monitoring and take‐home naloxone supply.
Single‐session endoscopic ultrasound‐directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with a dedicated over‐the‐scope fixation device: Feasibility study (with video)

Published: July 2024

ObjectivesEndoscopic ultrasound‐directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP; EDGE) is proposed as a less invasive alternative to laparoscopy‐assisted ERCP. However, postponing ERCP for 1–2 weeks to reduce the risk of lumen‐apposing metal stent (LAMS) migration may not be practical in urgent cases such as cholangitis, leading to increased procedural burden. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of a single‐session EDGE utilizing a dedicated over‐the‐scope fixation device.MethodsA retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from three referral centers was performed, including consecutive single‐session EDGE procedures with the Stentfix device, utilizing only 20 × 10 mm LAMS. The primary outcome was LAMS migration, and key secondary outcomes included adverse events and technical success.ResultsTwenty patients (mean age 59 [standard deviation (SD) ± 11.3] years, 65.0% female) with a predominantly classic Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass history (90.0%, mini‐bypass 10.0%) underwent ERCP for indications such as common bile duct stones (60.0%), cholangitis (25.0%), or biliary pancreatitis (15.0%). No LAMS migration occurred, and technical success was achieved in 95.0%. Over a median follow‐up of 102 days (interquartile range [IQR] 24.8–182), two adverse events were reported (10.0%), comprising postprocedural pain (grade I) and post‐ERCP pancreatitis (grade II).ConclusionWhile acknowledging potential contributions from LAMS orientation and stent caliber, our data suggest that utilizing a dedicated over‐the‐scope stent fixation device may effectively prevent LAMS migration during single‐session EDGE without the need for endoscopic suturing.
Review of equine glandular gastric disease
Authors: Banse Heidi E. , Paul Linda J. 
Published: July 2024

SummaryEquine glandular gastric disease (EGGD) is a common disorder of horses that presents challenges in both diagnosis and treatment for equine veterinarians. Because clinical signs are non‐specific, diagnosis requires endoscopy. Lesion grading may be inconsistent due to challenges in interpreting endoscopic findings, which complicates diagnosis and monitoring. Successful management is difficult due to the multifactorial pathogenesis of disease. This review will provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and approach to the management of EGGD.
Loss of keratin 14 expression from immortalized keratinocytes by promoter methylation

Published: July 2024

AbstractImmortalized keratinocytes can offer a low‐cost experimental platform for human skin research, with increased cell yield compared to primary cultures. However, the usefulness of these surrogate cell models is highly dependent on their ability to retain the phenotypic attributes of the parent cells. Keratins K14 and K5 are the hallmarks of undifferentiated, mitotically active basal keratinocytes. We observed occasional progressive loss of K14 expression in growing keratinocyte cell lines, with persistent retention of K5 and an epithelial phenotype, and investigated possible reasons for this. We show that K14 repression occurs by DNA promoter methylation of KRT14 gene and is compounded by histone deacetylation and by the presence of EGF. In vivo, keratinocytes shut down K14 synthesis as they commit to terminal differentiation and move from the basal to spinous layer, but by laser‐capture microdissection of human epidermis we could detect no evidence of increased selective KRT14 methylation in this normal process. Loss of K14 expression suggests that epidermal identity of cultured keratinocytes can be compromised in certain tissue culture situations, possibly due to the immortalization method and persistent EGF supplementation.

ABSTRACTObjectiveData regarding Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)‐associated mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in children are lacking. We aimed to characterize the diagnosis, management, and outcome of H. pylori‐associated MALT lymphoma in pediatric patients.Study DesignA retrospective multicenter case series of the pediatric patients with H. pylori‐associated MALT lymphoma who were diagnosed during 2010–2022.ResultsFive children, of them three females, were identified. The mean age at diagnosis was 14.6 ± 2.4 years. The clinical presentation included abdominal pain (5/5), nausea (3/5), weight loss, night sweats, recurrent fever (1/5), and iron deficiency anemia (2/5). Endoscopic findings in both the stomach antrum and body included a fragile and hyperemic mucosa, large ulcers, extensive nodularity, and exudate. All the biopsies from the gastric mucosa were consistent with MALT lymphoma, and positive for H. pylori (by Giemsa stain). All the patients received triple therapy (amoxicillin, nitroimidazole, or a macrolide, and a proton pump inhibitor, for 14 days), and achieved H. pylori eradication. All had complete resolution of histological findings at the last follow‐up. In one patient, the histology of MALT lymphoma persisted 12 months after H. pylori eradication, and only the 18‐month‐biopsy was free of residual disease.ConclusionsIn this series of pediatric MALT lymphoma, complete resolution of disease occurred in all the patients, yet histological remission was delayed in one. This supports the importance of endoscopic follow‐up.

AbstractAimGamma‐glutamyltransferase (GGT) is known as an oxidative stress marker, induced by alcohol consumption and metabolic disorders, and is reported as a predictor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development after hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination. However, it is not clear whether GGT serves simply as a surrogate marker for overlapping metabolic diseases or reflects HCV‐specific carcinogenicity. We investigated the association between GGT and hepatocarcinogenesis after achieving a sustained viral response (SVR), accounting for drinking habits or diabetes, and examined predisposing factors associated with GGT levels after SVR.MethodsThis is a prospective, multicenter, and observational study using the database of 1001 patients after HCV eradication with direct‐acting antiviral agents. The association of GGT at SVR with cumulative HCC development was examined in a multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard models after adjustment for covariates including alcohol and diabetes. The association between oxidative stress markers or genetic factors and GGT levels was analyzed.ResultsHigh GGT levels at SVR were associated with HCC development (HR] 2.38, 95% CI 1.10–5.17). This association was also significant when restricted to patients without alcohol consumption or diabetes (HR 8.38, 95% CI 2.87–24.47). GGT levels were correlated with serum growth differentiation factor 15 levels, a marker of mitochondrial dysfunction. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms of ZNF827 and GDF15 were associated with high GGT levels.ConclusionsHigh GGT levels at SVR were associated with HCC development after accounting for alcohol consumption and diabetes. GGT levels are influenced by genetic predisposition and may reflect mitochondrial dysfunction after HCV eradication.
The oxidation resistance study of a novel quasi‐molten coating for the prebaked anode

Published: July 2024

AbstractAir oxidation is the main cause of the excessive consumption of prebaked anodes, which not only wastes carbon resources but also increases carbon emissions. In this study, a quasi‐molten coating with self‐healing for prebaked anode by using the slurry method was proposed. This coating utilizes the viscous molten liquid phases to bond the carbon anode, absorbs thermal stress, insulates the carbon anode from the air, and provides self‐healing capabilities at elevated temperatures, while the solid phase provides toughening properties. A series of oxidation experiments have shown that the coating has superior oxidation resistance than coatings reported in the literature.
