Does exposure to books foster a taste for spatial mobility? Home library size in childhood and adult migration intentions
Authors: Brunarska Zuzanna , Ivlevs Artjoms 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Does exposure to books in childhood encourage adult migration? We contend that it does—through reading, which provides a simulative experience and arouses readers’ curiosity, as well as raising their openness to new experiences, awareness of opportunities in other places, and confidence in social situations, all of which foster migration intentions. Using data from the Life in Transition-III Survey, we find that the number of books in a childhood home is positively related to adult migration intentions. This relationship holds after controlling for a set of socio-economic characteristics, including individual and parental education. We also show that the book effect increases with the respondents’ level of education.
Compilation, Translation and Vernacular Composition after Arundel: John Lydgate’s Life of Our Lady
Authors: Sweet W H E 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
John Lydgate’s Life of Our Lady (1416–1421), a digressive devotional poem centred on a biography of Mary and a liturgical cycle from Christmas to Candlemas, challenges recent critical opinions on the limited direct impact of Archbishop Thomas Arundel’s Constitutions of 1409. The poem both shapes and is shaped by the spirit of the age; it was likely intended for Henry V himself, survives in 50 manuscripts and was printed by William Caxton. In Life of Our Lady, Lydgate neither breaks the rules of Arundel’s Constitutions nor seeks reform. He experiences the rules as stimulation, not censorship. He will not straightforwardly apply Latinate authority to the vernacular. He draws attention to his authority as a writer, rather than to the language he uses, in order to create official ways to write an original, authoritative text for private use without Church intervention. He shows that neither compilation—as passive assembly of texts—nor translation—as a means of doing this in the vernacular—properly addressed the problems that Arundel had identified. Life of Our Lady purports to be an exercise in ‘dullness’ in the fifteenth century—self-effacement as the compiler and translator of authoritative sources—precisely because Lydgate uses the strictures of compilation and translation so cleverly to create his own vernacular authority. He uses this vernacular authority for original composition and to help readers in their private devotion.

Abstract
Workers with low back pain (LBP) frequently seek care from physiotherapists. We sought to identify patterns of physiotherapy attendance and factors associated with these patterns in Australian workers with accepted compensation claims for LBP. We included workers with accepted workers' compensation claims for LBP from 4 Australian states between 2011 and 2015. We used trajectory modelling to identify distinct groups of workers based on the number (ie, volume) of monthly physiotherapy attendances over a 2-year period from claim acceptance. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to compare the characteristics of the groups. A small but significant proportion attend numerous times over a long period. 79.0% of the sample (N = 22,767) attended physiotherapy at least once in the 2 years after claim acceptance. Among these, trajectory modelling identified 4 distinct patterns of attendance. Most (N = 11,808, 51.9%) recorded a short-term low-volume pattern, 26.8% (n = 6089) recorded a short-term high-volume pattern, 14.3% (n = 3255) recorded a long-term low-volume pattern, and 7.1% (n = 1615) recorded a long-term high-volume pattern. Workers from Victoria (OR 0.34, 99% CI 0.31, 0.37), South Australia (OR 0.69, 99% CI 0.60, 0.80), and Western Australia (OR 0.79, 99% CI 0.69, 0.88) were significantly less likely to attend physiotherapy than workers from Queensland. Victorian workers were significantly more likely to be in one of the 2 long-term trajectory groups (OR 8.17, 99% CI 6.86, 9.73; OR 18.68, 99% CI 13.57, 25.70). In conclusion, most compensated Australian workers with LBP attend physiotherapy. Significant interjurisdictional differences between attendance patterns suggests that policy may play an important role in healthcare delivery.

Background
The coronary slow flow/no-reflow phenomenon (CSF/NRP) is a common complication of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Its long-term prognostic value, however, remains unclear. This study investigated the long-term outcome and prognostic value of CSF/NRP after emergency PCI for STEMI.

Methods
This retrospective, multicenter registry-based cohort study was conducted in STEMI patients who underwent emergency PCI between 2015 and 2016. Incidence of in-hospital mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), and all-cause mortality during long-term follow-up were compared between CSF/NRP patients and the normal flow group. Cox proportional-hazards regression model was performed to identify the predictive impact of CSF/NRP in short- and long-term outcomes.

Results
A total of 649 STEMI patients were included in the study, of whom 193 (29.7%) developed CSF/NRP following emergency PCI. The CSF/NRP group had a higher incidence of in-hospital mortality than the non-CSF/NRP group (8.2 vs. 4.3%, P = 0.04). All-cause mortality incidence was also higher in the CSF/NRP group during 5-year follow-up (22.2 vs. 16.2%, P = 0.04). The Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for demographic and clinical variables identified the NRP as an independent predictor of 5-year cardiac mortality [hazard ratio: 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–3.31; P = 0.02]. In a landmark analysis, no difference was seen in overall mortality among the two study groups between 1 month and 5-year follow-up (hazard ratio: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.80–2.21, P-value: 0.23). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed lower 3-year cumulative MACCE-free survival in the CSF/NRP group compared with the normal flow group (P = 0.02).

Conclusion
CSF/NRP in STEMI patients is associated with a worse short- and long-term prognosis. These results, however, are mostly related to the acute phase, and CSF/NRP had limited influence on clinical outcomes in early survivors of STEMI.

Published: April 2024

Purpose
The benefits of paraspinous flaps in adult complex spine surgery patients are established in the literature; however, their use in pediatric patients has not been well described. This study compares clinical outcomes with and without paraspinous muscle flap closure in pediatric patients who have undergone spine surgery.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of all pediatric spine surgeries at the University of California, San Francisco from 2011 to 2022. Patients were divided into 2 cohorts based on whether the plastic surgery service closed or did not close the wound with paraspinous muscle flaps. We matched patients by age, American Society of Anesthesiology classification, prior spinal surgical history, and diagnosis. Surgical outcomes were compared between the 2 cohorts.

Results
We identified 226 pediatric patients who underwent at least one spinal surgery, 14 of whom received paraspinous flap closure by plastic surgery. They were matched in a 1:4 ratio with controls (n = 56) that did not have plastic surgery closure. The most common indication for plastic surgery involvement was perceived complexity of disease by the spine surgeon with concern for inadequate healthy tissue coverage (78.6%), followed by infection (21.4%). Postoperative complications were similar between the two groups. The plastic surgery cohort had a higher rate of patients who were underweight (57.1% vs 14.3%, P < 0.01) and had positive preoperative wound cultures (28.6% vs 8.9%, P = 0.05), as well as a higher rate of postoperative antibiotic usage (78.6 vs 17.9%, P < 0.01). There was no difference in recorded postoperative outcomes.

Conclusions
Spine surgeons requested paraspinous flap closure for patients with more complex disease, preoperative infections, history of chemotherapy, or if they were underweight. Patients with paraspinous flap coverage did not have increased postoperative complications despite their elevated risk profile. Our findings suggest that paraspinous muscle flaps should be considered in high-risk pediatric patients who undergo spine surgery.
PROTGOAT : Improved automated protein function predictions using Protein Language Models
Authors: Chua Zong Ming , Rajesh Adarsh , Sinha Sanju , Adams Peter D. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAccurate prediction of protein function is crucial for understanding biological processes and various disease mechanisms. Current methods for protein function prediction relies primarily on sequence similarities and often misses out on important aspects of protein function. New developments in protein function prediction methods have recently shown exciting progress via the use of large transformer-based Protein Language Models (PLMs) that allow for the capture of nuanced relationships between amino acids in protein sequences which are crucial for understanding their function. This has enabled an unprecedented level of accuracy in predicting the functions of previously little understood proteins. We here developed an ensemble method called PROTGOAT based on embeddings extracted from multiple and diverse pre-trained PLMs and existing text information about the protein in published literature. PROTGOAT outperforms most current state-of-the-art methods, ranking fourth in the Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA 5), a global competition benchmarking such developments among 1600 methods tested. The high performance of our method demonstrates how protein function prediction can be improved through the use of an ensemble of diverse PLMs. PROTGOAT is publicly available for academic use and can be accessed here:https://github.com/zongmingchua/cafa5

ABSTRACTMultiple pests and diseases significantly affect eggplant (Solanum melongenaL.) yield. Its principal pest, the eggplant fruit and shoot borer [EFSB,Leucinodes orbonalisGuenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)], damages plants from the early vegetative stage to the late fruiting stage, while infestation by the green leafhopper [Amrasca biguttulaIshida (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)] stunts vegetative growth. Analyzing the diversity of the worldwide collections in different gene banks would allow for the effective use of stockpiled genetic resources for the breeding of insect-resistant eggplant. The genetic diversity and population structure of 96 accessions from four (4) germplasm collections were assessed using marker data from 20 poly-morphic microsatellite (SSR, simple sequence repeats) markers distributed among all 14 linkage groups. Phenotypes that were given focus included those linked to possible physical barriers to herbivory and possible presence of defensive compounds. The average number of alleles (n) across loci was 4.8, with an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.59, suggesting that the SSR loci were moderately informative. Population structure analysis yielded two subgroups with moderate to highly significant differentiation within each cluster (Fst1and Fst2= 0.23 and 0.14, respectively). Taken together, hierarchical clustering and population structure analysis were able to discriminate accessions by vegetative characters but were not able to effectively discriminate based on geo-graphic provenance, fruit phenotype, nor mean EFSB incidence.

Published: April 2024

AbstractHuman high-order thalamic nuclei have been known to closely correlate with conscious states. However, given the great difference of conscious states and contents (conscious perception), it is nearly unknown how those thalamic nuclei and thalamocortical interactions directly contribute to the transient process of conscious perception. To address this question, we simultaneously recorded local field potentials (LFP) in the human intralaminar, medial and ventral thalamic nuclei as well as in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), while patients with implanted electrodes performing a visual consciousness task. Overall, compared to the ventral nuclei, intralaminar and medial nuclei showed earlier and stronger consciousness-related activity. Moreover, the transient thalamocortical neural synchrony and cross-frequency coupling were both driven by the theta phase of the intralaminar and medial nuclei during conscious perception. These results indicated that the intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei, rather than the commonly believed PFC, play a decisive ‘gate’ role in conscious perception.HighlightsIntralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei showed earlier and stronger visual consciousness-related activity, comparing to the ventral nuclei.Intralaminar and medial thalamic transiently drove the thalamocortical synchronization through theta (2-8Hz) phase modulation during the emergence of visual consciousness.Theta phase of intralaminar and medial thalamic activity dynamically regulated the amplitude of PFC activity during the emergence of consciousness.Intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei showed more regulation on lateral PFC than on other PFC subregions during the emergence of consciousness.

Empirical analysis of strategies to overcome the barriers of LSS implementation in Indian small manufacturing enterprises: an application of ISM-MICMAC
Authors: Singh Mahipal , Kaswan Mahender Singh Singh , Rathi Rajeev 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore and model the strategies to overcome the barriers of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) implementation in Indian small manufacturing enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach
In this research, 31 strategies of LSS implementation in SMEs have been identified through detailed literature review and out of them, 13 are finalized using statistical tools like CIMTC and Importance-Index analysis. Moreover, the consistency of finalized strategies was examined through reliability test using SPSS software version 22. The finalized strategies are modelled through interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and classified them using MICMAC based on their driving and dependency power.

Findings
The key findings of this techno-managerial study are identification and modelling of 13 strategies to overcome adoption challenges of LSS in context of Indian SMEs. The usage of ISM-MICMAC approach provides the guidance to industrialist consider the mutual interaction of strategies during planning and scheduling for LSS projects.

Research limitations/implications
Due to human involvement and judgements, there may be chance of biasness and subjectivity during construction of self-interaction matrix. Also, the number of identified strategies to overcomes barriers of LSS adoption may vary by altering nature, scope and region of research.

Originality/value
Literature is full of studies regarding LSS barriers and its rankings. Also, few studies explored the solutions of LSS barriers and prioritized them. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, our study is very rare to witness which expose the strategies to overcome the barriers and frame the mutual interaction are per the driving and dependence power of strategies. The application of ISM-MICMAC approach suggests a roadmap for implementing LSS approach efficiently through considering developed ISM model of strategies in context of SMEs.
Frailty: perceptions of occupational therapists in Ireland
Authors: Griffin Niamh , O’Sullivan Leah , Usher Ruth 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
Ireland’s ageing population has resulted in an increasing number of older adults living with frailty. Despite growing attention towards older adults’ and health professionals’ perspectives of frailty, occupational therapy research is limited. This study aims to explore occupational therapists’ perceptions of frailty and how their perceptions impact their approach to the assessment and management of frailty.

Design/methodology/approach
Using qualitative descriptive design, 19 occupational therapists working with older adults participated in online focus groups. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings
Perceptions of occupational therapists were constructed into three main themes: conceptualising frailty; management of frailty; and advancing frailty practice. Findings indicate that occupational therapists perceived frailty as a multidimensional concept but highlight a reluctance to use frailty terminology with patients. Findings also suggest that although occupational therapists are involved in provision of care for older adults living with frailty, the profession’s scope is not optimised in the assessment and management of frailty.

Originality/value
Findings provide insight into occupational therapists’ perceptions of frailty. Development of a shared understanding of frailty between clinicians and patients and enhancement of undergraduate frailty education are recommended to progress occupational therapy’s role in frailty management.
AI in software programming: understanding emotional responses to GitHub Copilot
Authors: Eshraghian Farjam , Hafezieh Najmeh , Farivar Farveh , de Cesare Sergio 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThe applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various areas of professional and knowledge work are growing. Emotions play an important role in how users incorporate a technology into their work practices. The current study draws on work in the areas of AI-powered technologies adaptation, emotions, and the future of work, to investigate how knowledge workers feel about adopting AI in their work.Design/methodology/approachWe gathered 107,111 tweets about the new AI programmer, GitHub Copilot, launched by GitHub and analysed the data in three stages. First, after cleaning and filtering the data, we applied the topic modelling method to analyse 16,130 tweets posted by 10,301 software programmers to identify the emotions they expressed. Then, we analysed the outcome topics qualitatively to understand the stimulus characteristics driving those emotions. Finally, we analysed a sample of tweets to explore how emotional responses changed over time.FindingsWe found six categories of emotions among software programmers: challenge, achievement, loss, deterrence, scepticism, and apathy. In addition, we found these emotions were driven by four stimulus characteristics: AI development, AI functionality, identity work, and AI engagement. We also examined the change in emotions over time. The results indicate that negative emotions changed to more positive emotions once software programmers redirected their attention to the AI programmer's capabilities and functionalities, and related that to their identity work.Practical implicationsOverall, as organisations start adopting AI-powered technologies in their software development practices, our research offers practical guidance to managers by identifying factors that can change negative emotions to positive emotions.Originality/valueOur study makes a timely contribution to the discussions on AI and the future of work through the lens of emotions. In contrast to nascent discussions on the role of AI in high-skilled jobs that show knowledge workers' general ambivalence towards AI, we find knowledge workers show more positive emotions over time and as they engage more with AI. In addition, this study unveils the role of professional identity in leading to more positive emotions towards AI, as knowledge workers view such technology as a means of expanding their identity rather than as a threat to it.
