Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundBlack girls in the United States are at increased risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections due to early sexual development, stereotyping, adultification, and lack of protection. The Becoming a Sexual Black Woman framework highlights protection, or lack thereof, as a critical component of Black girls' sexual development.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was twofold. First, we sought to understand how girls protect their bodies within the societal context of the COVID‐19 pandemic and social injustice. Second, we aimed to explore how Black men can better protect Black girls' sexual development.MethodWe conducted 25 in‐depth interviews with Black girls aged 9 to 18 years, primarily across the Midwestern United States. We performed a directed content analysis by reviewing transcripts, coding data, and developing themes.ResultsFindings revealed four themes: (a) feeling unsafe, (b) adultification of Black girls' bodies and increased vulnerability to harm, (c) desire for more protection by Black male caregivers, and (d) needing Black men to speak up.ConclusionBlack men's engagement in girls' sexual development may significantly influence the health outcomes of Black girls and women throughout their life course.ImplicationsFindings may inform future family‐based interventions that better protect and promote the sexual health and development of Black girls.
Neo‐extractivism, (de)growth and resurgent pink tide governments in Latin America
Authors: Hawkins Mark 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe 21st century in Latin America began with a widespread shift to the left politically, a phenomenon called the ‘pink tide’. Following a period of right‐wing re‐ascendancy, left wing governments are again gaining traction across the continent. This article analyses the end of the last pink tide via a dialogue between the post‐extractivism and degrowth literature by examining Bolivia, Ecuador, and Brazil. This is done through a look at the impacts of both economic growth as a normative policy aim and extractivism as the engine to produce this growth on political developments in these countries. In the tradition of Gramsci this is interpreted as a hegemonic force, recast here as growth‐through‐extraction, that serves to perpetuate the interests of wealthy classes despite political changes. This article concludes with a brief analysis of how academic debates and political processes have moved on since Escobar 2015 and what this might mean for the new left‐wing governments of Latin America.

Published: June 2024

SummaryThe effects of hydrostatic thawing (HT), flowing water thawing (FT), ultrasonic thawing (UT), microwave thawing (MT), and microwave‐combined ultrasonic thawing (MUT) on the quality of yellowtail fillets were investigated via thawing time, physicochemical quality, water retention, microstructure and water migration distribution. The results showed that MUT had a shorter thawing time, second only to microwave thawing (MT) and significantly shorter than other thawing methods. Moreover, MUT could retain a better performance of the samples, such as colour, texture, water retention and moisture distribution, and prevent damage to the microstructure. In addition, freshness analysis showed that pH, total volatile saline nitrogen and K values were optimal for MUT. Therefore, MUT could be a viable thawing method that increases the thawing rate of yellowtail fillets while maintaining their quality characteristics.
Managers’ staging of earnings conference calls around actual share repurchases
Authors: Duong Hong Kim , Do Chuong , Do Huy N. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe use earnings call transcripts to examine whether managers strategically change their disclosure behaviors before an actual share repurchase. Our findings suggest that managers use tone management to strategically portray a more negative outlook for the firm in the earnings call before an actual repurchase. In addition, we find that managers of repurchasing firms “cast” the call with more unfavorable analysts even when more favorable analysts are available. These disclosure strategies aim to influence the information flows to the market and allow repurchasing firms to repurchase their shares at a discounted price. We further show that insiders of repurchasing firms adjust their subsequent stock trading accordingly. Following more negative conference calls, insiders exhibit a tendency to increase share repurchases or reduce sales of company shares. Our findings underscore the increasingly sophisticated disclosure strategies employed by managers to wield influence over information dynamics in the market leading up to share repurchases.

Published: June 2024

AbstractRationaleThough it is crucial to contribute to patient recovery through access, diversity, continuity and regularity of outpatient care, still today most of these are deemed nonoptimal. Identifying patient profiles based on outpatient service use and quality of care indicators might help formulate more personalized interventions and reduce adverse outcomes.Aims and ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify profiles of individuals with mental disorders (MDs) patterned after their outpatient care use and quality of care received, and to link those profiles to individual characteristics and subsequent outcomes.MethodsA cohort of 5669 individuals with MDs was considered based on data from the 2013–2014 and 2015–2016 Canadian Community Health Survey, which were linked to administrative data from the Quebec health insurance registry. Latent class analysis generated profiles based on service use over the 12 months preceding each respondent's interview, and comparative analyses were used to associate profiles with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and health outcomes over the three following months.ResultsFour profiles were identified. Profile 1 (P‐1) was labelled ‘Low service use’; P‐2 ‘Moderate general practitioner (GP) care and continuity and regularity of care’; P‐3 ‘High GP care, continuity and regularity of care, and low psychiatrist care’; and P‐4 ‘High psychiatrist care and regularity of care, and low GP care’. Profiles 3 and 4 (~50% of the cohort) were provided with better care, but showed worse outcomes, mainly acute care use due to more complex conditions and unmet needs. Profiles 1 and 2 had better outcomes as they showed fewer risk factors such as being younger and having better social conditions.ConclusionIntensity, diversity and regularity of care were higher in profiles with more complex MDs, chronic physical illnesses, and worse perceived health conditions. Adapting specific interventions for each profile, such as assertive community treatment or intensive case management for Profile 4, is recommended.

Published: June 2024

AbstractRationaleHealthcare systems remain disease oriented despite growing sustainability concerns caused by inadequate management of patients with multimorbidity. Comprehensive care programmes (CCPs) can play an important role in streamlining care delivery, but large differences in setup and results hinder firm conclusions on their effectiveness. Many elements for successful implementation of CCPs are identified, but strategies to overcome barriers and embed programmes within health systems remain unknown.Aims and ObjectivesTo address this knowledge gap through a detailed study of implementing a CCP in a Dutch hospital setting, including patient experiences, facilitators, barriers and ways to overcome those barriers. Additionally, this study aims to explore effects on patient satisfaction and healthcare use.MethodsA qualitative study design with 39 semistructured interviews and focus groups between July 2020 and February 2023 with 16 patients and 17 involved professionals. Additionally, effects on quantitative outcomes for patient satisfaction (PACIC‐20) and healthcare use were explored.ResultsProfessionals expressed a wide range of topics related to implementation and ways to overcome barriers at hospital and system level. Alterations in the design to accommodate varying care demands, focus on inclusions through referrals, and lack of long‐term support and appropriate financing were key topics. Patients expressed varying experiences, stated a strong desire for comprehensive information, and emphasised the importance of trust in caregivers. Patient satisfaction showed no effects, while healthcare use showed slight decreases in trends, but patient numbers were limited.ConclusionThe introduction of a CCP is feasible, and exploratory analysis on effectiveness shows lower hospital care use without decreasing patient satisfaction. However, this is accompanied by several challenges that show current fragmented systems still do not support implementation of integrated care initiatives. Overcoming those comes with substantial costs and may require a strong bottom‐up implementation within a motivated team and actions on all levels of healthcare systems.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAeromonas veronii is an important pathogen found in various aquatic environments and products, posing a threat to public health. The Hanks‐like serine/threonine protein kinase is closely linked to the pathogenesis of pathogenic bacteria, but the exact role of YihE in A. veronii remains still unknown. To study the specific function of the YihE kinase, we constructed a knockout mutant of the yihE gene in A. veronii. The deletion of the yihE gene resulted in changes to the metabolism of L‐arginine‐AMC and acetic acid, as well as enhanced resistance to ampicillin and kanamycin in A. veronii. Additionally, the ΔyihE strain demonstrated a 1.4‐fold increase in biofilm formation ability and a 1.8‐fold decrease in adhesion and invasion to EPCs when compared to the wild‐type strain. A significant decrease in cytotoxicity was observed at 2 and 3 h post‐infection with EPCs compared to the wild‐type strain. Additionally, the deletion of the yihE gene was associated with a significant decrease in motility of the strain. Furthermore, the deletion of the yihE gene resulted in a 1.44‐fold increase in the LD50 of A. veronii in zebrafish. These findings offer valuable insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of A. veronii.
From Boundary Objects to Boundary Infrastructure: A Process Study of Collaboration between Big Science and Big Business
Authors: Hummel Jochem T. , Berends Hans , Tuertscher Philipp 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe development of a novel boundary infrastructure for large‐scale interorganizational collaboration presents a challenge that is ill‐understood: how can individual boundary objects, which do not suffice for large‐scale collaboration and might even engender conflict, be developed into a coherent boundary infrastructure that facilitates the crossing of multiple boundaries? In a longitudinal study, we investigated how Helix Nebula – a collaboration among Europe's big science and big business organizations – developed a cloud computing infrastructure for scientific research. Our findings show that the process involves two recursive mechanisms. The scaffolding of boundary objects helps organizations to iteratively create various technical and organizational objects that support each other's development. The reconfiguring of coalitions involves organizations constantly rearranging into subgroups, which enables them to accommodate their differences and common needs. Our study contributes a process model of how organizations develop boundary objects into a coherent boundary infrastructure and shines light on the role of scaffolding and the political dynamics of coalitions as a driving force for large‐scale interorganizational collaboration.

Published: June 2024

AbstractDemand for sustainable animal and aquaculture production drives the exploration of novel feed additives. We highlight octacosanol, a long‐chain alcohol from plant sources, as a promising multifunctional feed additive. The review comprehensively evaluates octacosanol's applications in animal and aquaculture nutrition, including its molecular properties and mechanisms of action. It elucidates how octacosanol affects lipid metabolism, energy utilization and immune modulation. Octacosanol enhances livestock growth, efficiency, carcass quality and stress resilience. We thoroughly discuss how it enhances feed utilization, disease resistance and overall performance in finfish and shellfish in aquaculture. The review also addresses the ecological and sustainability aspects of octacosanol utilization. We identify challenges and knowledge gaps in octacosanol research, prompting suggestions for future investigations. We address regulatory considerations, dosage optimization and potential interactions with other feed additives to ensure the safe and effective use of octacosanol. In conclusion, the review highlights octacosanol's potential as a versatile feed additive in the animal and aquaculture industries and urges further research to uncover its benefits and sustainability contributions, proposing a prospective research plan for this purpose. This thorough analysis is a valuable resource for researchers, nutritionists and industry professionals looking to find innovative methods to improve production practices and advance sustainable food systems.
How Therborn's Theory of Ideology Enhances Bourdieus's Theory of Fields
Authors: Kearney Matthew 
Published: June 2024

AbstractPierre Bourdieu's theory of subjectivity is perhaps the most elaborate within the broad constructivist tradition, and Göran Therborn's is perhaps the most elaborate within the Marxist tradition. These traditions emphasize opposite components and tend to produce different explanations on micro‐cognitive levels. But this article demonstrates a striking complementarity and ventures elements of synthesis. The two theorists are contrasted on four broad areas of social science: consciousness versus unconsciousness, identity formation, class, and discourse. Bourdieu emphasizes unconscious dispositions generally unamenable to individual control, whereas Therborn emphasizes formation of conscious beliefs. By bracketing the unconscious processes that Bourdieu captures, Therborn omits key mechanisms of social reproduction. Yet the mechanisms he does capture fit almost seamlessly into Bourdieuian theory on the mutual constitution of individual‐level subjectivity and societal‐level reproduction. Each theorist supplies what the other is missing for a theory of subjectivity with greater explanatory power than either offers alone.
Population profile of haemocytes in the subcastes of the leaf‐cutter ant Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) unveiled by flow cytometry

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe leaf‐cutter ant Atta sexdens is crucial in ecological balance and economic activities, due to its contribution to the aeration and accumulation of organic matter in the soil, but it may also be an agricultural pest when it defoliates plants for the fungus growth used as a food source. This leaf‐cutter ant exhibits a polymorphic worker caste system with distinct activities in the colony. These functions are performed by workers classified into subcastes, including gardeners, which are responsible for the fungus and brood care; cleaners (waste removers), which remove wastes; foragers, which collect and transport plant parts to the nest; and soldiers, which are responsible for colony defence and the support of foraging activities. In our previous work, we showed that A. sexdens has five types of circulating haemocytes in the haemolymph, which play a vital role in immune defence. Herein, we further investigated the population profile of circulating haemocytes in the haemolymph of different worker subcastes of A. sexdens using flow cytometry. Each subcaste exhibited a single population of haemocytes in the haemolymph. However, a detailed 3D dispersion analysis uncovered five distinct haemocyte subpopulations, two of which presented higher quantities. The soldier displayed haemocytes with high fluorescence intensity, compared with the gardener, waste remover, and forager, along with increased complexity, compared with the gardener subcaste. These results suggest that these cells may be granulocytes and plasmatocytes, which are known for their role in insect immune defence.

AbstractObjectivesPhilanthropic abortion funds are integral to accessing care in the United States, providing both financial and practical assistance. Yet relatively little is known about those who seek these essential services. In this study, we analyzed data from a Kentucky abortion fund to assess characteristics of abortion fund callers.MethodsWe analyzed 2014–2021 administrative data from the Kentucky Health Justice Network's (KHJN) Abortion Support Fund and compared them to abortion data from the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH). We analyzed age, race, and pregnancy gestation at calling (KHJN) and abortion (KDPH), and calculated Z‐scores and p‐values to compare proportions in each category between the two data sources.ResultsThe fund supported 6162 people from 2014 to 2021, when 28,741 people had abortions in Kentucky. Compared with KDPH data, KHJN had a higher percentage of callers who were under age 30, a higher percentage of callers who were Black or another race, and a higher percentage of callers at 14 weeks' gestation or higher.ConclusionsCompared with state data, KHJN supported a higher percentage of young people, people of color, and people at later gestations. These findings support evidence that structurally vulnerable groups are more likely to face barriers to care and that abortion funds provide essential support necessary for reproductive equity.
WE…WITH ANNA: THE INCLUSORY PLURAL PRONOMINAL CONSTRUCTION IN FINNISH AND FENNO‐SWEDISH*
Authors: Kurki Klaus 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis article provides a syntactic analysis of the inclusory plural pronominal construction in Fenno‐Swedish and Finnish. In this construction, a plural pronoun has a singular reading: vi …med Anna (literally “we …with Anna”) means ‘Anna and I’. In addition to the plural pronoun, the construction includes a comitative PP. Similar constructions can be found in several other languages, especially in the eastern parts of Europe which suggests it is an areal feature. The structural diversity of the construction in Fenno‐Swedish and Finnish seems to require an analysis that differs from previous analyses of other languages. Instead of a derivation involving movements, the study suggests that the analysis must employ an unvalued feature. In some well‐formed examples, the necessary movements would be far too complex for an appealing explanation. Additionally, the Fenno‐Swedish construction seems to allow an insight into a degree of development where the construction has not necessarily been fully grammaticalised.
Intraday Variation of Ankle Dorsiflexion in Short-Track Speed Skaters
Authors: Claudel Jules , Turner Émilie , Clément Julien 
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Optimal ankle dorsiflexion range of motion plays a vital role in attaining the essential crouched posture necessary for excelling in speed skating. The purpose of this study was to determine how the ankle dorsiflexion angle evolves throughout a day of training and to identify the factors that influence this angle. Methods: Thirty short-track speed skaters, from 2 teams, participated in this study. The maximum ankle dorsiflexion angle was obtained in a lunge position facing a wall, using a digital inclinometer. All measures were obtained 3 times per side, 6 times per day, on 2 training days separated by at least a week. We conducted multiple tests to study the impact of repetition, day, side, team level, sex, and moment on the ankle dorsiflexion angle. Results: The 3 times repeated measures and the 2 days of training did not have a significant influence on the results. There was a statistically significant difference between the first time point of the day and the 5 other time points for both ankles. Moreover, the influence of sex and team level was not statistically significant. Conclusions: The results indicate that there are significant changes in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion but only after the first warm-up of the day. Such findings could enable team staff to enhance athletes’ precompetition preparation and tailor ankle mobility training regimens more effectively.
Gongronella

ABSTRACT

The mechanisms of how plant-beneficial rhizospheric fungi interact with the soil microbial community to promote plant growth by facilitating their phosphorus acquisition are poorly understood. This work supported that a Mucoromycotina fungus,
Gongronella
sp. w5 (w5), could promote phosphorus uptake of
Medicago truncatula
by increasing the available phosphorus (P) in the soil. The abundance of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in alfalfa rhizosphere soil increased after w5 inoculation. Further analysis showed that w5 donated a portion of ALP activity and also stimulated the PSB to secrete ALP during plant-w5-PSB interaction to help release more available P in the rhizosphere of
M. truncatula
. Unlike most plant-beneficial rhizospheric fungi that mainly acquire hexoses from plants, w5 gained sucrose directly from the host plant and then recruited PSB to aid P acquisition by hydrolyzing sucrose and releasing mainly fructose to induce PSB to secrete ALP.

IMPORTANCE

This work supported that after absorbing plant sucrose,
Gongronella
sp. w5 mainly releases sucrose hydrolysis product fructose into the environment. Fructose was used as a carbon source and signaling molecules to induce PSB to co-produce higher alkaline phosphatase activity, releasing soil-available phosphorus and promoting
M. truncatula
growth. This is the first report that plant-beneficial fungi could directly metabolize sucrose from plants and then recruit PSB to aid P acquisition by providing fructose. Our findings revealed the diversity in pathways of plant-fungi-PSB interactions on soil P acquisition and deepened our understanding of the cooperation of growth-promoting microorganisms in plant rhizosphere.
