Between control and participation: The politics of algorithmic management
Authors: Krzywdzinski Martin , Schneiß Daniel , Sperling Andrea 
Published: April 2024

AbstractUnderstanding the role of human management is crucial for the debate over algorithmic management—to date limited to studies on the platform economy. This qualitative case study in logistics reconstructs the actor constellations (managers, engineers, data scientists and workers) and negotiation processes in different phases of algorithmic management. It offers two major contributions to the literature: (1) a process model distinguishing three phases: goal formation, data production and data analysis, which is used to analyse (2) the politics of algorithmic management in conventional workplaces, which differ significantly from platform companies. The article goes beyond surveillance to elucidate the role of the regulatory framework, various actors' knowledge contributions to the algorithmic management system, and the power relations resulting therefrom. While the managerial goals in the examined case were not oriented towards a surveillance regime, the outcome was nevertheless a centralisation of knowledge and disempowerment of workers.

Published: April 2024

AbstactIn the analysis of the Griliches' knowledge capital production function, previous works pointed out the relevance of incorporating slope heterogeneity in the technological parameters, cross‐sectional dependence arising simultaneously from common factors and spillovers, and possible nonlinear effects of relevant common observed variables. In order to solve the above problems, in this article we introduce a semi‐parametric model in a partially linear form that copes simultaneously with all the previous specification issues. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are obtained and the theoretical findings are further supported for small samples via several Monte Carlo experiments and an empirical application.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAimTo determine outcome measurement when odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) is treated by Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS).Materials and MethodsA PRISMA compliant systematic review using MeSH headings on Pubmed, Ovid and Embase. Inclusion criteria: Adults with odontogenic maxillary sinus disease undergoing ESS. Exclusion criteria: Adolescents, odontogenic disease related to; trauma, neoplasia, tumour resection, palatal cleft or fungal infection, previous sinus surgery, endoscopic surgery not involving the middle meatus.ResultsA total of 1462 papers were identified, 68 eligible for review. No randomised controlled trials were identified. Twenty‐three papers (34%) reported a successful outcome as no disease at endoscopy and reduced sinonasal symptoms; 14 papers (21%) based outcomes on endoscopy, reduced symptoms and resolution of sinus opacification or reduced mucosal thickness; 1 paper established success on reduced symptoms only and 7 papers (10%) based outcomes on radiographic findings only. Other primary measures of success were excision and closure of oro‐antral fistula, 6 (9%), removal of odontogenic cysts, 5 (7%), removal of displaced dental implants, 4 (6%), removal of displaced root of tooth, 3 (4%). Five papers (7%) reported no outcome measure. Additional measures of outcome were; retention of dental implants perforating the sinus floor, survival of sinus floor grafting with subsequent implant placement and retention of teeth with persistent apical periodontitis.ConclusionReported outcome measures were very heterogeneous. In consideration of the weak evidence base for the role of ESS in ODS management, more consistent measurement and reporting of patient symptoms, clinical and radiological signs with endoscopic findings is recommended to enable meta‐analysis.

AbstractBackgroundBiliary strictures are a significant cause of morbidity and graft loss in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Risk factors for the development of biliary strictures are not fully established. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of biliary strictures and treatment modalities outcomes and to identify potential risk factors for occurrence.MethodsPediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation in the single tertiary pediatric liver transplant center in Israel were evaluated. We compared demographics, presentation, laboratory results, imaging, treatment, and outcomes between patients with and without biliary stricture. Multivariate regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for biliary strictures.ResultsAmong 121 pediatric liver transplant patients, 65 (53.7%) were males; the median age at the time of liver transplantation was 43 (3–215) months. Fifteen patients (12.4%) had biliary strictures following transplantation. One (7%) patient with biliary stricture was treated via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and 12 patients (80%) underwent interventions via a percutaneous transhepatic approach. Nine of the 12 patients were treated successfully, requiring one or multiple procedures, while the remaining had surgery or laser therapy. Risk factors for the development of biliary strictures were biliary leak, acute cellular rejection, and the presence of two biliary anastomoses.ConclusionsIn our cohort, the presence of two biliary anastomoses and post‐transplant complications including acute cellular rejection and early biliary leaks were associated with biliary strictures in pediatric liver transplantation recipients. Percutaneous transhepatic interventions result in good outcomes in most patients.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the characteristics of postpartum people who did and did not enroll in a breastfeeding peer‐counselor mobile health (mHealth) texting program as well as the issues raised through 2‐way texting with peer counselors.DesignPilot intervention study involving two Special Supplemental Nutrition Programs for Women Infants and Children (WIC) sites in the District of Columbia over 1 year.SampleWIC recipients.MeasurementsDescriptive statistics, comparison of recipients who enrolled or not and qualitative content analysis of text messages.InterventionA breastfeeding peer counselor texting program entitled BfedDC involving routine 1‐way programmed messages and 2‐way texting capacity for recipients to engage with peer counselors.ResultsAmong our sample (n = 1642), nearly 90% initiated breastfeeding. A total of 18.5% (n = 304) enrolled in the BfedDC texting program, of whom 19.7% (n = 60) utilized the 2‐way texting feature. Message content covered seven content themes and included inquiries about expressing human milk, breastfeeding difficulties, breastfeeding frequency and duration, appointments and more.ConclusionsAlthough enrollment was relatively low in BfedDC, benefits included 1‐way supportive texts for breastfeeding and the ability to 2‐way text with peer counselors. This program aligns with the Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding and promotes breastfeeding equity in low‐income people.

Published: April 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this research is to investigate the effect of environmental health education given at the ninth‐grade level on the microplastic pollution awareness level of students.MethodsThis pretest‐posttest experimental study with a randomized control group was conducted between 2022 and 2023 in three high schools in a province in eastern Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 90 ninth‐grade students (experimental group: 45, control group: 45), and the sample magnitude was determined by power analysis. Tools such as the “Personal Information Form” and “Microplastic Pollution Awareness Scale (MPAS)” were used to collect data. Training was given to the experimental group as a nursing intervention in a total of four sessions at 15‐day intervals. No intervention was applied to the individuals in the control group.ResultsWhile no significant difference was observed in the MPAS total score in the control group according to the pretest and posttest mean scores, a significant difference was observed in the MPAS total score in the experimental group (p < 0.05). When the posttest mean scores of the experimental and control groups were examined, it was observed that the posttest mean scores of the experimental group were higher than the posttest mean scores of the control group and there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05).ConclusionIt was observed that the microplastic pollution awareness level of the experimental group students who received environmental health training increased significantly. The issue of environmental health should be integrated into the education curriculum in schools and students' awareness levels should be increased.
Ergot of cereals: Toxins, pathogens and management

Published: April 2024

AbstractErgot is a fungal disease of many plants but is perhaps most commonly associated with domesticated grasses or cereals, such as rye, wheat, barley, oat, sorghum, millet, maize and rice. Ergot is of historical significance, having been reported for several millennia, but is also of concern in modern agricultural production systems. Caused by many different species within the genus Claviceps, the fungi cause the production of sclerotia, which are typically dark in colour, in place of healthy grain. The sclerotia contain toxins that can make the grain unsafe for consumption by humans or livestock. Ergot can be managed both preharvest as well as postharvest to minimize the presence of sclerotia and their associated toxins in food and feed systems. In this review, we provide a detailed update on our current knowledge of ergot on cereals, with a focus on recent advances in our understanding of fungal toxins and their regulation, pathogen biology and disease management.
Hunting for sources of durable resistance in crop cultivar evaluation data: The case of wheat yellow rust in France

Published: April 2024

AbstractCultivar resistance is a major asset for the management of crop diseases and can play an important role in agroecological transition. However, the wide deployment of a reduced number of resistance genes can lead to a rapid adaptation of pathogen populations and to a loss of resistance efficiency. The objective of this study was to characterize and discuss different trajectories of adult plant ratings for resistance to yellow rust in French wheat cultivars between 1963 and 2018. Among 719 cultivars assessed for at least 2 years, 590 cultivars showed no variation in their resistance scores, despite a mean of 4.3 years and up to 33 years of assessment. A set of descriptive variables was computed in order to compare the evolution of resistance score of 129 cultivars that experienced resistance variation. We applied a principal component analysis and a hierarchical clustering on principal components to this subdataset to constitute clusters corresponding to different cultivar profiles. Clusters C1 and C2 had small resistance variations (1–2 points on a 1–9 scale); Cluster C3 had long assessment durations and several small drops in resistance score and could be associated with quantitative resistance erosion; Cluster C4 included major drops in resistance score (4–5 points), often associated with known breakdowns of major resistance genes. Cases of limited drops in resistance score as a known resistance gene was broken down suggest the presence of efficient adult plant resistance. We discuss the use of information extracted from this dataset and methods to further explore sources of resistance to yellow rust present in French cultivars.
Connecting founding and dissolution: A demographic study of the US nonprofit sector
Authors: Mayer Duncan J. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDespite a rich literature on nonprofit density, the founding and dissolution of nonprofit organizations remains poorly understood. This study explores the founding and dissolution in nonprofit populations including density dependence, resource concentration, government size, and hypothesizes that dissolution creates an entrepreneurial opportunity. The hypotheses are tested using county level data covering the continental US from 2010 to 2016 (N = 21,756). The results show government size, competition, and resource concentration are important for understanding founding and dissolution, and establishes strong support for a link between the events: a one standard deviation increase in the number of dissolutions in a county predicts an increase of 1.5% (CI: .72–2.31) in the nonprofit founding rate. The study highlights ways for public officials to support nonprofit entrepreneurship and calls for renewed interest in ecological applications in contemporary nonprofit populations.
Expression pattern of germ cell markers in cryptorchid stallion testes
Authors: Shakeel Muhammad , Choi Younju , Yoon Minjung 
Published: April 2024

AbstractCryptorchidism affects spermatogenesis and testis development, often resulting in stallion subfertility/infertility. This study aims to identify the specific germ cells impacted by cryptorchism in stallions. In a previous study, we found that PGP9.5 and VASA are molecular markers expressed in different germ cells within stallions. Herein, we assessed the heat stress‐induced response of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in the seminiferous tubules (ST) of cryptorchid stallion testes (CST) and normal stallion testes (NST). This goal was accomplished by comparing PGP9.5 and VASA expression patterns through reverse transcription quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence assays. We also compared the cross‐sectional ST area between groups. Six post‐pubertal Thoroughbred unilateral cryptorchid stallions were used. The relative abundance of the mRNA transcripts of PGP9.5 and VASA was significantly upregulated in the NST group than in the CST group. Additionally, the cross‐sectional ST area and localization of PGP9.5 and VASA in germ cells were significantly higher in the NST group than in the CST group. Regarding Leydig cells, PGP9.5 staining was observed in both groups. Spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes and secondary spermatocytes were immunostained with VASA in the NST group, while immunostaining was only observed in spermatogonia in the CST group. These results indicate long‐term exposure to heat stress conditions, such as cryptorchidism, directly impacts germ cell proliferation and differentiation, leading to impaired spermatogenesis and compromised fertility in stallions.
A comparative study of the judicial construction of scientific credibility in climate litigation
Authors: Zhu Mingzhe , Fan Liyuan 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAlthough the value of climate science in the courtroom is widely acknowledged, few studies have evaluated how judges achieve a scientifically sound grounding for their rulings. Drawing insights from legal culture and science and technology studies, we compare the determination of scientific credibility in leading climate cases in Europe and the United States. Judges on both sides of the Atlantic answer similar questions about scientific facts and commonly use authoritative reports and testimonies from qualified experts. However, while judges in the Netherlands, France and Germany find value in the political mandates of international or national bodies that generate scientific reports, American judges seek to keep scientific expertise from the influence of policy considerations. We make sense of this difference by identifying two competing ideals of expertise, namely the ‘view of everyone’ ideal in Europe and the ‘view from nowhere’ ideal in the United States. Although climate science is often articulated in universalist terms, the cultural embeddedness of adjudication means that the evaluation of credibility varies by jurisdiction.
Epidemiology, etiology and prevention of injuries in competitive ice speed skating—limited current evidence, multiple future priorities: A scoping review
Authors: Hendricks Matthias , Verhagen Evert , van de Water Alexander T. M. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractLong‐track and short‐track ice speed skating are integral to the Winter Olympics. The state of evidence‐based injury prevention in these sports is unclear. Our goals were to summarize the current scientific knowledge, to determine the state of research, and to highlight future research areas for injury prevention in ice speed skating. We conducted a scoping review, searching all injury and injury prevention studies in competitive ice speed skaters. The six‐stage Translating Research into Injury Prevention Practice (TRIPP) framework summarized the findings. The systematic search yielded 1109 citations. Nineteen studies were included, and additional searches yielded another 13 studies, but few had high‐quality design. TRIPP stage 1 studies (n = 24) found competition injury rates from 2% to 18% of participants with various injury locations and types. Seasonal prevalence of physical complaints was up to 84% (for back pain) in long‐ and short‐track. Ten studies covered information on TRIPP stage 2, with two small etiological studies linking injuries to functional strength deficits (short‐track) and training load (long‐track). Questionnaire studies identified various perceived risk factors for injuries but lacked further scientific evidence. Most TRIPP stage 3 studies (five out of eight) focused on developing protective measures, while two studies found short‐track helmets performed poorly compared to helmets used in other sports. No study evaluated the efficacy, the intervention context, or the effectiveness (TRIPP stages 4–6) of the measures. Scientific knowledge on injury prevention in ice speed skating is limited. Future research should prioritize high‐quality studies on injury epidemiology and etiology in the sports.

AbstractSports psychiatry is a young field of medicine and psychiatry that focuses on mental health among athletes, and sports and exercise within psychiatry and mental disorders. However, the development of sports psychiatry and its fields of activity vary from region to region and are not uniform yet. Sports psychiatry and the role of sports psychiatrists have also already been discussed in the field of sports and exercise medicine, and within medical teams in competitive and elite sports. A uniform definition on sports psychiatry, its fields of activity, sports psychiatrist, and the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities (plus attitudes, eKSA+A) of the sports psychiatrist were developed as part of an International Society for Sports Psychiatry (ISSP) Summit, as well as First International Consensus Statement on Sports Psychiatry. Three fields of activity can be distinguished within sports psychiatry: (i) mental health and disorders in competitive and elite sports, (ii) sports and exercise in prevention of and treatment for mental disorders, and (iii) mental health and sport‐specific mental disorders in recreational sports. Each of these fields have its own eKSA+A. The definitions on sports psychiatry and sports psychiatrists, as well as the framework of eKSA+A in the different fields of activity of sports psychiatrists will help to unify and standardize the future development of sports psychiatry, establish a standard of service within sports psychiatry and together with the neighboring disciplines, and should be included into current, and future sports psychiatry education and training.
A critical review of sociological research on sexual pleasure
Authors: Regan Hannah 
Published: April 2024

AbstractSociologists of sexuality often invoke the theme of pleasure, but it is not always clear what scholars believe the implications and importance of pleasure are. To this end, this paper reviews the existing literature on sexual pleasure, specifically within the field of sociology, to demonstrate what questions about sexual pleasure are (and are not) currently being asked. Through a systematic literature review, I demonstrate that scholars often lack a justification for why pleasure is important. I also connect themes between the kind of questions being asked about pleasure and the justifications attached to these studies, relating to risk mitigation, relationship satisfaction and well‐being, power structures, and moral oversight. Based on this review, I make recommendations for the future of sexual pleasure research with the goal of centering pleasure for pleasure's sake and embracing its liberatory possibilities.
Labour market gender gaps and childcare policies in countries with different social investment strategies

Published: April 2024

AbstractWe study the role of formal and informal childcare within the ECEC policies for gender employment and pay gaps, considering the life course stages distinctive for childcare tasks. The ECEC policies are framed within the types of social investment strategies identified in the EU countries to picture developments in social investments after 2005. The aggregated EU‐SILC data from 2005 to 2019 for 27 European countries have been used in the panel regression models to uncover how the caring arrangements influence labour market gendered outcomes of women at different ages (15–24, 25–49, 50–65). We find that better provision and use of early education and childcare not only contribute to early investment in human capital but it also facilitates mothers' employment and thus contributes to lowering gender employment and pay gaps. However, better coverage of care for children older than 3 years old results in negative employment effects for grandmothers. These effects vary also across countries, depending on their overall institutional setting depicted by the types of social investment strategies distinguished. Consequently, the ECEC agenda should be extended by addressing the employment of women at the pre‐retirement age. It is crucial not only for reducing gender gap in employment and pay but also in the light of challenges generated by demographic developments—the labour force shrinking and the population ageing processes.
