Matching emotion regulation strategies with specific emotions in tourist experiences
Authors: Gao Jie , Zhang Ye 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThis study delves into the intricate relationship between specific positive and negative emotions experienced by tourists during their vacations and the corresponding emotion regulation strategies they employ. Drawing from emotion regulation theory, we examine the nuanced impact of various strategies on tourists' emotional experiences, thereby advancing our understanding of emotion dynamics in the context of tourism.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered through an online survey and travel diaries, subsequently analyzed using linear mixed-effects models.FindingsOur findings underscore that emotion regulation strategies exert a significant influence on both positive and negative emotions. Furthermore, we identified that different strategies correlate uniquely with specific emotions. For instance, the deployment of Expressive Suppression, Savoring, and Stimulus Control strategies notably amplifies the intensity of joy.Practical implicationsThis study recommends that tourism managers design experiences that evoke positive emotions through curated sensory cues, storytelling, and stress-free service offerings. Tourism managers should prioritize stress-free services, guide tourists in expressing themselves, and train service providers to manage emotions effectively, thus promoting positive emotional interactions and improving overall customer satisfaction.Originality/valueTheoretically, this research enriches the emotion regulation literature by contextualizing it within the tourism domain, highlighting the differential effects of regulation strategies on diverse emotional experiences. From a practical standpoint, these insights can guide practitioners in crafting targeted marketing strategies and empower tourists with knowledge to select optimal strategies for enhancing their emotional well-being during vacations.
Reorienting the lens – towards a new research agenda on the lived experiences of money laundering prevention officers
Authors: Menz Mario 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to propose a new research agenda that integrates the often-overlooked insights and experiences of compliance professionals into anti-money laundering (AML) policy formulation and academic research. It seeks to highlight the importance of a bottom-up approach in developing AML strategies that are not only theoretically robust but also practically effective and grounded in real-world application.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a comprehensive literature review and theoretical analysis, this study outlines six broad research focus areas. These areas are explored through the lens of existing theoretical frameworks that underscore the significance of practical insights, interdisciplinary collaboration and adaptive policymaking in enhancing AML efforts.

Findings
This paper highlights a significant gap in current AML research and policymaking, namely, the underrepresentation of compliance professionals’ perspectives. It argues that integrating these frontline insights can lead to more nuanced and effective approach to AML.

Practical implications
Adopting the proposed research agenda could significantly enhance the practical applicability of AML policies, leading to more effective prevention and detection of financial crimes. It encourages the development of support systems for compliance professionals, fostering a workforce that is both competent and resilient.

Social implications
By promoting a more inclusive and practice-based approach to AML policymaking, this paper advocates for a societal shift in how money laundering is tackled.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to the AML discourse by proposing a shift towards a more inclusive research and policymaking paradigm that values the contributions of compliance professionals. It extends the existing literature by suggesting a comprehensive framework for bridging these divides, thereby offering a novel perspective on enhancing the effectiveness of AML strategies.

PurposeThis study aims to provide a different view of existing statistics and apply them to a current topic.Design/methodology/approachThis study puts previous literature together in a way that supports a real estate-focused viewpoint.FindingsThe build environment can help or hinder diversity in the workplace.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations of this study are that it is so macro that there is no direct study involved. The implications are that if companies want to achieve good “S” in ESG scores, they need to think about their real estate in different ways.Practical implicationsThe implications are that if companies want to achieve good “S” in ESG scores, they need to think about their real estate in different ways.Social implicationsPeople should understand that there are inherent barriers to success built into the system, and value their employer's efforts to ameliorate them accordingly.Originality/valueTo my knowledge, no one has approached this issue in this way before. The focus is typically micro, and while there is a lot of research out there focusing on the micro effects or impacts, they are without understanding how the built environment impacts these outcomes.
The impact of national culture in predicting informal learning behaviors
Authors: Lucena Barbosa Flávia , Borges-Andrade Jairo Eduardo 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the impact of Hofstede’s six national cultural dimensions on informal learning behaviors (ILBs) and how they moderate the prediction of these behaviors by workplace interaction (WI), autonomy (WA) and readiness to learn (RtL).

Design/methodology/approach
Cultural scores were extracted from The Culture Factor Group in 2023. Data on ILBs and their antecedents were selected from a Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies sample of 59,103 workers – 33 Countries. The authors applied hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to analyze data.

Findings
None of those cultural dimensions had significant direct relationships with ILBs. The moderations were significant for power distance (ILBs with WA and RtL), individualism (ILBs with WI) and motivation toward achievement and success (ILBs with WA).

Research limitations/implications
The cultural dimensions were limited to Hofstede’s model, and scores at the country level did not consider individual perceptions of them. The results provide empirical evidence for solid theoretical development on the impact of national culture on informal learning and the development of public policies to promote it.

Originality/value
The authors are unaware of other studies that have quantitatively investigated relationships between ILBs and their antecedents and the cultural dimensions using HLM. Findings from different countries allow for better generalization and may provide directions for research and the expansion of the nomological network on the impact of national culture on ILBs.
Neither Healthy nor Safe: Insufficient Regulation of Occupational Health and Safety for Migrant Farmworkers in Europe
Authors: Castillo‐Rojas‐Marcos Juan , Molinero‐Gerbeau Yoan 
Published: July 2024

SummaryOccupational safety and health (OSH) began to be regulated at the EU level with the OSH Framework Directive in 1989. Since then, many other legal acts and policies have followed, enriching the complex European set of legal tools and protections on work‐related health and safety. However, they all share the same approach: only eventualities happening to workers in the workplace, during working hours and/or caused by their work tasks can potentially be designated as an OSH impact; andtherefore be legally problematised and tackled. This paper argues that such an approach is insufficient for a sector like European agriculture, whose workforce is increasingly composed of migrant labourers. As scientific evidence reveals, migrant farmworkers face another whole set of severe health and safety risks directly linked to their jobs, which nonetheless would not fit in the traditional definition of OSH. From deficient and substandard accommodation to isolation and lack of access to vital services, these people's jobs potientially expose them to potent health stressors. The sector urgently needs a new and more ambitious conception of OSH to develop legislation and/or policies adapted to the needs of all its workers, including migrants.

AbstractObjectiveThis study addresses the limitations of existing interventions for depression, such as a deficit‐oriented focus, overlooking the utilization of positive elements such as nature, and neglecting the incorporation of group effects. The present feasibility study examines FlowVR, a resource‐oriented, nature‐inspired virtual reality (VR)‐based group therapy. Previously tested individually in a pilot study for non‐clinical participants, FlowVR has demonstrated positive effects on depressive symptoms. This study assesses the impact and safety of FlowVR in a group setting within a clinical sample using a one‐armed study design.MethodForty‐two inpatients and day patients with depression were recruited. Before and after the FlowVR intervention period of 4 weeks (two sessions per week), depressive symptoms were assessed (Beck Depression Inventory‐II; BDI). Symptomatology (i.e., depressive symptoms), depression‐associated variables (i.e., self‐efficacy), intervention‐specific variables (feeling of flow), and VR‐specific variables (simulator sickness) were assessed before and after each session.ResultsLinear mixed effect models showed that symptomatology (depression, negative affect, current anxiety), depression‐associated constructs (self‐efficacy, motivation), and intervention‐specific variables (flow) improved over the course of the sessions. No variable deteriorated more in one session compared to any other session. The lasso regression identified five potential predictors for the change in depression (BDI‐II), yet these could not be validated in a subsequent linear regression analysis.ConclusionTo conclude, FlowVR had the hypothesized positive impact over the course of the sessions, showing, for example, improvements in symptomatology. The sessions have demonstrated safety with no notable deteriorations. Therefore, FlowVR is deemed safe for clinical patients and group settings. However, further research is needed to explore predictors for the change in depression.
Positive and negative extended contact and contact intentions towards sexual minorities in China: The mediational role of perceived group norms, intergroup anxiety and intergroup trust

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe present study (N = 1019, 51% females) explores the role of positive and negative extended contact as predictors of willingness for future cross‐group interactions in the context of the relationship between heterosexuals and sexual minorities in China. Results revealed that positive extended contact was more prevalent and more strongly associated with contact intentions than negative extended contact. Central to our hypotheses, both positive and negative extended contact were indirectly associated with higher or lower contact intentions, respectively, via the sequential mediation of perceived group norms, intergroup anxiety and intergroup trust. These findings deepen our understanding of how to foster the willingness to engage in contact with members of sexual minorities.

AbstractBackgroundRecently, it has been questioned whether vaccination of patients with inflammatory (auto)immune diseases under anti‐tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment leads to impaired vaccine‐induced immune responses and protection against breakthrough infections. However, the effects of TNF blockade on short‐ and long‐term immune responses after repeated vaccination remain unclear. Vaccination studies have shown that initial short‐term IgG antibodies (Abs) carry highly galactosylated and sialylated Fc glycans, whilst long‐term IgG Abs have low levels of galactosylation and sialylation and are most likely generated by long‐lived plasma cells (PCs) derived primarily from the germinal center (GC) response. Thus, IgG Fc glycosylation patterns may be applicable to distinguish short‐ and long‐term vaccine responses after repeated vaccination under the influence of anti‐TNF treatment.MethodsWe used COVID‐19 vaccination as a model to investigate vaccine‐induced IgG subclass levels and Fc glycosylation patterns, B cell subsets, and effector functions of short‐ and long‐term Ab responses after up to three vaccinations in patients on anti‐TNF or other immunosuppressive treatments and in healthy individuals. Using TriNetX, a global healthcare database, we determined the risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated patients treated with anti‐TNF or other immunosuppressive drugs.ResultsAnti‐TNF treatment reduced the long‐term abundance of all anti‐S IgG subclasses with low levels of galactosylation and sialylation. Re‐activation of potential memory B cells initially generated highly galactosylated and sialylated IgG antibodies, which were progressively reduced after each booster dose in anti‐TNF‐treated patients, especially in the elderly. The reduced short‐ and long‐term IgG (1) levels in anti‐TNF‐treated patients correlated with diminished functional activity and an increased risk for the development of COVID‐19.ConclusionsThe data suggest that anti‐TNF treatment reduces both GC‐dependent long‐lived PCs and GC‐dependent memory B cell‐derived short‐lived PCs, hence both the long‐ and short‐term IgG subclass responses, respectively, after repeated vaccination. We propose that anti‐TNF therapy, especially in the elderly, reduces the benefit of booster vaccination.
Splenic abscesses in the new millenium – a systematic review
Authors: Ooi Daniel Quan Hui , Ooi Joshua Quan Chen , Ooi London Lucien Peng Jin 
Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundIsolated splenic abscesses are rare, but increasingly reported with newer organisms and changes in mechanisms involved. We conducted a comparative review of publications from 1900–1977, 1977–1986, 1987–1995, and 1996–2022.MethodsA systematic search in Embase and PubMed resulted in 522 publications (1111 cases). Data was tabulated, analysed, and compared.ResultsPatient demographics and symptoms remain unchanged although more Asian patients were reported. Metastatic infections remain the main cause, but COVID‐19‐linked and iatrogenic causes post bariatric surgery and splenic artery embolization are increasingly reported. Aerobic organisms remain the commonest (68%), with a variety of exotic organisms reported. Splenectomy remains the definitive treatment, although antibiotics only and percutaneous aspiration/catheter‐drainage are increasingly used with reasonable outcomes, with salvage splenectomy for therapeutic failures not having significantly higher mortality than upfront splenectomy.ConclusionsIsolated splenic abscesses continue to be uncommon, with diagnosis requiring a high degree of suspicion. Non‐surgical options for treatment can sometimes be definitive.

Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroductionThis retrospective study investigated the hypothesis that maternal hemoglobin (Hb) levels in twin pregnancy fall between the first and second trimesters and that higher falls are associated with higher gestational age at birth and higher birthweight (BW).Material and MethodsThe study population was defined as pregnant women with twin pregnancies delivering two live, phenotypically normal neonates, after 24+0 weeks of gestation, between October 2009 and September 2021 at an inner London maternity unit. Maternal Hb and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), at ≤14+0 weeks of gestation (Hb1) and again at 20+0–30+0 weeks gestation (Hb2) were recorded from the Hospital's perinatal database. MCV was used as a possible indicator of iron deficiency anemia. The association of Hb drop, defined as [Hb1(adjusted for gestational age) − Hb2], and MCV values with gestational age at birth, BW of both twins and delivery of small for gestational age (SGA) neonates, defined as BW <10th percentile for gestation, was evaluated.Results923 pregnant women with twin pregnancies were included. Maternal Hb1 did not correlate with any outcomes measured. However, a lower Hb2 and a larger Hb drop was associated with a higher gestational age at birth (p < 0.001), a larger BW of twin 1 and 2 (p < 0.001 for both) and a reduction in the incidence of delivering one or two SGA neonates (p < 0.001 for both). MCV values did not correlate significantly with these outcomes.ConclusionsThis study showed that in twin pregnancy, a larger maternal Hb drop from the first to the second trimester is associated with a higher gestational age at birth and a larger BW. This change may represent a larger plasma volume expansion.

AimsDried blood volumetric absorptive microsamples (VAMS) may facilitate home‐based sampling to enhance therapeutic drug monitoring after transplantation. This study aimed to clinically validate a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay using 2 VAMS devices with different sampling locations (Tasso‐M20 for the upper arm and Mitra for the finger). Patient preferences were also evaluated.MethodsClinical validation was performed for tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid by comparison of paired VAMS and venipuncture samples using Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman analysis. Conversion of mycophenolic acid VAMS to serum concentrations was evaluated using haematocrit‐dependent formulas and fixed correction factors defined a priori. Patients' perspectives, including useability, acceptability and feasibility, were also investigated using established questionnaires.ResultsPaired samples (n = 50) were collected from 25 kidney transplant recipients. Differences for tacrolimus whole‐blood concentration were within ±20% for 86 and 88% of samples from the upper arm and fingerstick, respectively. Using correction factors of 1.3 for the upper‐arm and 1.47 for finger‐prick samples, 84 and 76% of the paired samples, respectively, were within ±20% for mycophenolic acid serum concentration. Patient experience surveys demonstrated limited pain and acceptable useability of the upper‐arm device.ConclusionsTacrolimus and mycophenolic acid can be measured using 2 common VAMS devices with similar analytical performance. Patients are supportive of home‐based monitoring with a preference for the Tasso‐M20 device.

AbstractAimThis study explores the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in treating cerebral palsy (CP) in Sprague–Dawley (SD) pups, specifically CP animal models, and its molecular mechanisms.MethodsGait analysis and Y‐maze were used to detect the improvement of motor ability and cognitive function of CP rats after EA treatment. Transcription sequencing was used to determine the key pathway for EA to improve the symptoms of CP. PPAR agonists were used to verify the causal relationship between the pathway and the improvement of CP phenotype.ResultsThe motor ability and cognitive function of CP pups were improved after EA treatment. The results of transcriptome sequencing suggest that the improvement of CP phenotype may be caused by the activation of PPAR pathway. PPAR pathway is widely activated in the epithelium of CP pups treated with EA, which is verified by qPCR. Rosiglitazone (Ros), a PPAR agonist, can improve CP phenotype while activating PPAR pathway, which proves the causal relationship between PPAR pathway activation and CP phenotype improvement.ConclusionOur study demonstrated behavioral improvements and enhanced cognitive functions in CP models after EA treatment by activating PPAR pathway, suggesting new perspectives for CP rehabilitation, and providing theoretical support for acupuncture treatment of CP.

AbstractBackgroundAutologous protein solution (APS) has been shown to decrease lameness in horses with osteoarthritis (OA). Synovitis is an early driver of OA, providing an opportunity to intervene in the progression of disease via intra‐articular (IA) therapeutics.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a single IA APS injection in horses with interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β)‐induced synovitis. We hypothesised that APS would decrease joint swelling and lameness, improve synovial fluid parameters and improve joint pathology scores in horses compared with untreated controls.Study designRandomised controlled in vivo experiment.MethodsSynovitis was induced with IL‐1β (65 ng) in one randomly selected tarsocrural joint. Twenty‐four hours later, joints were treated with APS (Pro‐Stride®) (n = 12) or left as untreated controls (n = 6). Lameness examinations and joint circumference measurements were performed on Days 0 (prior to IL‐1β), 1 (prior to APS), 2, 4, 7 and 14. Synovial fluid, obtained on the same days, was analysed for protein concentration, nucleated cell count, and cytokine (IL‐1β, TNF‐α, IFN‐γ, IL‐6, IL‐10) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations. Gross pathology and synovial membrane histopathology scoring was performed on APS‐treated (n = 5), untreated control (n = 4) and normal (n = 9) tarsocrural joints.ResultsAPS did not decrease lameness or joint circumference compared with untreated controls. Synovial fluid parameters were not different between treatment groups. APS treatment did significantly decrease gross and histopathology scores.Main limitationsMain limitations included the use of an induced model of the synovitis, inter‐horse variability in the response to IL‐1β and likely variability in the constituents of APS from individual horses.ConclusionsAPS treatment of tarsocrural joints with synovitis did not significantly improve lameness or alter synovial fluid parameters. APS did lead to significant improvement in gross joint appearance and synovial membrane histology suggesting that APS may have disease‐modifying effects.
