AbstractMathematical and statistical models underlie many of the world's most important fisheries management decisions. Since the 19th century, difficulty calibrating and fitting such models has been used to justify the selection of simple, stationary, single‐species models to aid tactical fisheries management decisions. Whereas these justifications are reasonable, it is imperative that we quantify the value of different levels of model complexity for supporting fisheries management, especially given a changing climate, where old methodologies may no longer perform as well as in the past. Here we argue that cost‐benefit analysis is an ideal lens to assess the value of model complexity in fisheries management. While some studies have reported the benefits of model complexity in fisheries, modeling costs are rarely considered. In the absence of cost data in the literature, we report, as a starting point, relative costs of single‐species stock assessment and marine ecosystem models from two Australian organizations. We found that costs varied by two orders of magnitude, and that ecosystem model costs increased with model complexity. Using these costs, we walk through a hypothetical example of cost‐benefit analysis. The demonstration is intended to catalyze the reporting of modeling costs and benefits.
Effective family‐based program options for justice‐involved youth

Published: March 2024

AbstractFamilies play a significant role both in youth's development of criminal behavior and in their desistance of criminal behavior. Nonetheless, programming for families of justice‐involved youth is limited. This article describes two family‐based programs found in the National Institute of Justice CrimeSolutions database. Among 19 programs for families, only the Functional Family Therapy and Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care for Adolescents are documented as effective in helping justice‐involved youths and their families. The discussion proposes how these programs could be used to harness services under special education law for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities who are overrepresented in juvenile correctional facilities.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundResearch to date has detailed numerous challenges in emergency department (ED) communication with persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers. However, little is known about communication experiences of individuals belonging to minoritized racial and ethnic groups, who are disproportionately impacted by dementia and less likely to be included in dementia research.MethodsWe conducted semi‐structured interviews with 29 caregivers of PLWD from two urban academic hospital EDs with distinct patient populations. The first site is an ED in the Northeast serving a majority White, English‐speaking, and insured population. The second site is an ED in the South serving a majority Black and/or Hispanic, Spanish‐speaking, and underinsured population. Interviews lasted an average of 25 min and were digitally recorded and transcribed. We used an inductive approach to analyze interview transcripts for dominant themes and compared themes between sites.ResultsOur sample included caregivers of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Caregivers cared for PLWD who spoke English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Vietnamese. We identified three themes. First, caregiver advocacy was central to experiences of ED communication, particularly when PLWD primarily spoke a non‐English language. Second, routine care plans did not address what mattered most to participants and PLWD. Participants felt that care arose from protocols and did not address what mattered most to them. Third, White English‐speaking caregivers in Site 1 more commonly expected ED staff to engage them in care decision‐making than Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern caregivers in Site 2.ConclusionLanguage barriers amplify the higher intensity care needed by PLWD in the ED. Strategies should be developed for communicating with PLWD and caregivers about what matters most in their ED care.
Porousness, theater, possession, being consumed, death, sanctity: Narratives from the field with a radical street performer
Authors: Balán Laura 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe paper reflects on the experiences of the porous body of a radical street performer from Medellin, Colombia. His narratives emphasize the reciprocal relationship between the knower and the known: as Ingold suggests, “to know things you have to grow into them and let them grow in you so that they become part of who you are.” Furthermore, his narratives help to unravel the underlying threads of his actions, and the construction of his porous subjectivity. The article contributes to our understanding of mimesis in anthropological discourse, the relational and embodied nature of human existence, and the role of possession in cultural resistance and social transformation. Following Bernardo's pedagogy, the writing interweaves poetry, narrative, and theoretical concepts in seeking not to close meaning, but to open spaces to be inhabited.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundSkin of color (SOC) individuals represent a growing market for cosmetic injectables and can have different aesthetic goals and responses to treatment.ObjectiveA review of the uses, safety, and effectiveness of injectable neuromodulators and dermal fillers in SOC individuals.Methods and MaterialsA search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database was conducted from August 1960 to December 2020. Studies that were included either had a focus on SOC (>20% SOC study participants) or dedicated article content commenting on the safety and/or efficacy of injectables in SOC participants.ResultsOf the 503 publications identified, a total of 88 articles were selected for this review. Differences in aging and cultural factors can influence aesthetic goals amongst SOC populations. Available data suggests that botulinum toxin (BTX) and dermal fillers are safe and effective in SOC populations, with the largest amount of data existing for Asian populations. There remains a paucity of research on Black and Latinx populations.ConclusionBTX and dermal fillers are generally effective and well tolerated in SOC populations, particularly Asian populations for which the greatest amount of data exists. More high quality, randomized controlled trials in Black and Latinx populations are warranted.

AbstractAimsTo synthesise the composition and effectiveness of computer‐based patient decision aid (PDAs) in interventions for patients with chronic diseases.DesignA systematic review with meta‐analysis.MethodsFive databases were searched, and only randomised controlled trials (RCTs)were included. This review was conducted with the PRISMA guidelines. The JBI Appraisal Tools for randomised trials were used to assess the risk of bias. We used the random‐effects model to conduct meta‐analyses. Evidence from RCTs was synthesised using standardised mean differences or mean differences. The GRADE system was employed to assess the certainty of evidence and recommendations. This study was registered on PROSPERO (number: CRD42022369340).Data SourcesPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were searched for studies published before October 2022.ResultsThe review included 22 studies, and most computer‐based PDAs reported information on the disease, treatment options, pros and cons and risk comparison and value clarification. The use of computer‐based PDAs showed a significant effect on decision conflict and knowledge, but not on decision regret, satisfaction, self‐efficacy, anxiety and quality of life. The overall GRADE certainty of evidence was low.ConclusionAlthough the quality of evidence was low, however, using computer‐based PDAs could reduce decision conflict and enhance knowledge when making medical decisions. More research is needed to support the contention above.Relevance to Clinical PracticeComputer‐based PDAs could assist health‐care providers and patients in the shared decision‐making process and improving the quality of decision‐making.Reporting MethodThis study adhered to PRISMA guidelines.No Patient or Public Contribution
The educational diffusion of divorce: The role of gender and context
Authors: Hogendoorn Bram , van den Berg Lonneke 
Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis study examines the educational diffusion of divorce in Europe and the role of women's decision‐making therein.BackgroundAs the contextual barriers to divorce have lowered, the divorce rates of less‐educated women have increased in many societies. Changes in divorce barriers are likely more pertinent to married women than to married men. However, no previous study has tested whether less‐educated women increasingly take the initiative to divorce or whether less‐educated women are increasingly left by their husbands.MethodThe authors used retrospective panel data from the Generations and Gender Survey, covering 39,650 marital unions across 49 country‐cohort contexts in Europe. Multilevel models showed how divorce barriers were associated with the educational gradient in divorce. Competing‐risks models decomposed the associations into a wife‐initiated share and a husband‐ or jointly‐initiated share.ResultsLower divorce barriers are associated with the educational diffusion of divorce. This diffusion is largely driven by women's own divorce initiation.ConclusionMore permissive family norms and greater economic autonomy enable less‐educated women to leave a dissatisfying marriage.
Middle Managers’ Relational Dynamics in the Context of Acquisitions: Balancing Strategic Interdependence and Organizational Autonomy
Authors: Birollo Gustavo , Rouleau Linda , Wolf Carola 
Published: March 2024

AbstractDuring acquisitions, middle managers (MMs) play a crucial role in facilitating the integration of two previously separate organizations, thereby facing the challenge of balancing competing needs for strategic interdependence and organizational autonomy. Drawing on interviews with acquiring and acquired MMs, this study explores the unfolding dynamics of framing the relationships between both groups. We introduce the concept of actionable intersubjectivity as a core ability of MMs to take into account the presence of the other while accomplishing integration tasks. We propose a grounded process model that traces how actionable intersubjectivity is developed to varying degrees throughout the MMs’ relational dynamics occurring in the various interaction spaces provided at each acquisition stage by getting a sense of the other (pre‐acquisition), by deciphering how the other think (approval), by experiencing how the other act and react (post‐acquisition I) and by putting oneself in the place of the other (post‐acquisition II). Our paper contributes to mergers and acquisitions research in two ways: (1) by unpacking the relational dynamics between MMs and introducing actionable intersubjectivity as a crucial ability in the context of acquisitions and (2) by extending our understanding of MMs’ role in balancing strategic interdependence and organizational autonomy during the acquisition process.
CEOs’ Pre‐Career Exposure to Religion and Corporate Tax Avoidance
Authors: Chen Yu , Fu Ruchunyi , Tang Yi , Zhao Xiaoping 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn response to the burgeoning interest in CEOs’ pre‐career experience, this study focuses on their pre‐career exposure to religion. We argue that CEOs who were exposed to religion before starting their professional career will be imbued with the values that prioritize social obligations. Moreover, these imprinted values become activated in the context of corporate tax payment, such that firms with a CEO who attended a religious university are less likely to avoid tax. We further explore how CEOs’ present social context, including political corruption, corporate social performance and present exposure to religion, provides situational cues that moderate the baseline relationship. An analysis of a sample of US listed firms from 2000 to 2019 provides general support for our predictions.

AbstractBackground and PurposeThresholds for abnormal transcranial Doppler cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) studies are poorly understood, especially for patients with cerebrovascular disease. Using a real‐world cohort with cerebral arterial stenosis, we sought to describe a clinically significant threshold for carbon dioxide reactivity (CO2R) and vasomotor range (VMR).MethodsCVR studies were performed during conditions of breathing room air normally, breathing 8% carbon dioxide air mixture, and hyperventilation. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of CO2R and VMR were calculated for the unaffected side in patients with unilateral stenosis; a deviation of 2 SDs below the mean was chosen as the threshold for abnormal. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for both sides for patients with unilateral and bilateral stenosis were evaluated for sensitivity (Sn) and specificity (Sp).ResultsA total of 133 consecutive CVR studies were performed on 62 patients with stenosis with mean±SD age 55±16 years. Comorbidities included hypertension (60%), diabetes (15%), stroke (40%), and smoking (35%). In patients with unilateral stenosis, mean±SD CO2R for the unaffected side was 1.86±0.53%, defining abnormal CO2R as <0.80%. Mean±SD CO2R for the affected side was 1.27±0.90%. The CO2R threshold predicted abnormal acetazolamide single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (Sn = .73, Sp = .79), CT/MRI perfusion abnormality (Sn = .42, Sp = .77), infarction on MRI (Sn = .45, Sp = .76), and pressure‐dependent exam (Sn = .50, Sp = .76). For the unaffected side, mean±SD VMR was 39.5±15.8%, defining abnormal VMR as <7.9%. For the affected side, mean±SD VMR was 26.5±17.8%. The VMR threshold predicted abnormal acetazolamide SPECT (Sn = .46, Sp = .94), infarction on MRI (Sn = .27, Sp = .94), and pressure‐dependent exam (Sn = .31, Sp = .90).ConclusionsIn patients with multiple vascular risk factors, a reasonable threshold for clinically significant abnormal CO2R is <0.80% and VMR is <7.9%. Noninvasive CVR may aid in diagnosing and risk stratifying patients with stenosis.
Collaborative or Independent? Buddhist Monks’ Perceptions of Nonconflict Between Religion and Science
Authors: Lu Yulin , Joosse Paul 
Published: March 2024

AbstractFew studies have explored religious professionals’ interactions with scientific authority in work settings. Fewer still examine professionals outside Western contexts. We analyze the science‐religion interface as it exists in Shaolin Temple—an ancient Chan Buddhist temple with a worldwide reputation for Shaolin Kungfu. Drawing on a near‐exhaustive survey within Shaolin monastery and 23 interviews with Shaolin monks, we discern and differentiate two modes of nonconflict operating in monks’ psychic lives. One group understands Buddhism and science as comprising independent realms—nonconflictual by virtue of their noninteractivity. Another views science and religion as being interpenetrative and nonconflictual in the sense of being mutually constitutive. These differing orientations, which reflect established categories of “transcendentalist” versus “immanentist” religion, further correlate with different facets of religiosity: Monks with high religious knowledge tend to view Buddhism and science as independent, while monks with high levels of piety tend to see them as collaborative or mutually constitutive.

AbstractBackgroundRed blood cell (RBC) storage promotes biochemical and morphological alterations, collectively referred to as storage lesions (SLs). Studies in humans have identified leukoreduction (LR) as a critical processing step that mitigates SLs. To date no study has evaluated the impact of LR on metabolic SLs in canine blood units using omics technologies.ObjectiveCompare the lipid and metabolic profiles of canine packed RBC (pRBC) units as a function of LR in fresh and stored refrigerated (up to 42 days) units.AnimalsPacked RBC units were obtained from 8 donor dogs enrolled at 2 different Italian veterinary blood banks.Study Design and MethodsObservational study. A volume of 450 mL of whole blood was collected using Citrate‐Phosphate‐Dextrose‐Saline‐Adenine‐Glucose‐Mannitol (CPD‐SAGM) transfusion bags with a LR filter to produce 2 pRBC units for each donor, without (nLR‐pRBC) and with (LR‐pRBC) LR. Units were stored in the blood bank at 4 ± 2°C. Sterile weekly samples were obtained from each unit for omics analyses.ResultsA significant effect of LR on fresh and stored RBC metabolic phenotypes was observed. The nLR‐pRBC were characterized by higher concentrations of free short and medium‐chain fatty acids, carboxylic acids (pyruvate, lactate), and amino acids (arginine, cystine). The LR‐pRBC had higher concentrations of glycolytic metabolites, high energy phosphate compounds (adenosine triphosphate [ATP]), and antioxidant metabolites (pentose phosphate, total glutathione).Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceLeukoreduction decreases the metabolic SLs of canine pRBC by preserving energy metabolism and preventing oxidative lesions.

Published: March 2024

AbstractMuscle‐wasting and disease‐related malnutrition are highly prevalent in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) as well as in liver transplant (LT) candidates. Alterations of body composition (BC) such as sarcopenia, myosteatosis and sarcopenic obesity and associated clinical frailty were tied to inferior clinical outcomes including hospital admissions, length of stay, complications, mortality and healthcare costs in various patient cohorts and clinical scenarios. In contrast to other inherent detrimental individual characteristics often observed in these complex patients, such as comorbidities or genetic risk, alterations of the skeletal muscle and malnutrition are considered as potentially modifiable risk factors with a major clinical impact. Even so, there is only limited high‐level evidence to show how these pathologies should be addressed in the clinical setting. This review discusses the current state‐of‐the‐art on the role of BC assessment in clinical outcomes in the setting of CLD and LT focusing mainly on sarcopenia and myosteatosis. We focus on the disease‐related pathophysiology of BC alterations. Based on these, we address potential therapeutic interventions including nutritional regimens, physical activity, hormone and targeted therapies. In addition to summarizing existing knowledge, this review highlights novel trends, and future perspectives and identifies persisting challenges in addressing BC pathologies in a holistic way, aiming to improve outcomes and quality of life of patients with CLD awaiting or undergoing LT.

AbstractBackgroundMultiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic failure and various motor symptoms. While MSA‐C (cerebellar type) predominates in East Asia, MSA‐P (parkinsonian type) predominates in Europe and North America. This nationwide patient registry aimed to (1) conduct a prospective natural history study of MSA in Japan, (2) facilitate patient recruitment for clinical trials, and (3) deposit bioresources and clinical information in a biobank.MethodsThirteen institutions participated in this study. Clinical information was obtained by neurologists from the patients visiting the hospital every 12 months to assess the UMSARS Part 2 scores and by telephone interviews by nurses every 6 months to assess UMSARS Part 1 scores and to determine whether clinical events had occurred.ResultsDemographic data from 329 MSA patients (216 MSA‐C and 113 MSA‐P) were analyzed. The mean age at symptom onset was 58.2 years (standard deviation, 8.9); the mean duration of symptoms at enrollment was 3.5 years (standard deviation, 2.2). The mean 12‐month changes in the UMSARS Part 1 and Part 2 scores were 7.9 (standard deviation, 5.6) and 6.4 (standard deviation, 5.9), respectively. The patient registry proved useful in recruiting participants for clinical trials, including those with gene variants. Clinical information and biospecimens were deposited in a biobank.DiscussionThe study highlighted the importance of telephone interviews in minimizing drop‐out rates in natural history studies and demonstrated similar MSA progression rates across populations. The deposited bioresources are available to researchers upon request, aiming to contribute to future MSA researches.
