Proactive verbal behavior in team meetings: effects of supportive and critical responses on satisfaction and performance
Authors: Berg Ann-Kathleen , Kauffeld Simone 
Published: April 2024

AbstractProactivity has rarely been considered as a subject of investigation in social settings, such as team meetings. In this study, we investigate proactive behavior during meetings and examine how reactions to proactive behavior impact work-related outcomes. Drawing on meeting science and the wise proactivity framework, we hypothesized that supportive and critical patterns would emerge in response to proactive behavior. We also tested whether these patterns influenced team meeting satisfaction and team performance. We video recorded team meetings involving 252 participants in 43 teams and conducted micro-interaction coding of verbal behavior. Lag sequential analyses revealed that proactive verbal behavior followed by supportive responses occurred above chance. Team-level regression analyses showed that these patterns predicted meeting satisfaction and team performance. Notably, proactive-support patterns indirectly predicted team performance through increased meeting satisfaction. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of proactive verbal behavior in teams and supportive reactions as antecedents to positive outcomes.
AI Literacy for the top management: An upper echelons perspective on corporate AI orientation and implementation ability
Authors: Pinski Marc , Hofmann Thomas , Benlian Alexander 
Published: April 2024

AbstractWe draw on upper echelons theory to examine whether the AI literacy of a firm’s top management team (i.e., TMT AI literacy) has an effect on two firm characteristics paramount for value generation with AI—a firm’s AI orientation, enabling it to identify AI value potentials, and a firm’s AI implementation ability, empowering it to realize these value potentials. Building on the notion that TMT effects are contingent upon firm contexts, we consider the moderating influence of a firm’s type (i.e., startups vs. incumbents). To investigate these relationships, we leverage observational literacy data of 6986 executives from a professional social network (LinkedIn.com) and firm data from 10-K statements. Our findings indicate that TMT AI literacy positively affects AI orientation as well as AI implementation ability and that AI orientation mediates the effect of TMT AI literacy on AI implementation ability. Further, we show that the effect of TMT AI literacy on AI implementation ability is stronger in startups than in incumbent firms. We contribute to upper echelons literature by introducing AI literacy as a skill-oriented perspective on TMTs, which complements prior role-oriented TMT research, and by detailing AI literacy’s role for the upper echelons-based mechanism that explains value generation with AI.

Published: March 2024

AbstractLithium mining driven by the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries, has environmental consequences linked to soil and water pollution. Nevertheless, research on the environmental impacts of lithium extraction still needs to be improved, highlighting the imperative for additional research. The article addresses the potential impact of the C57 lithiniferous feldspar mine on water quality, specifically focusing on surface, groundwater and spring water samples collected at the mining site and surrounding area in Gonçalo (Guarda, Portugal). The objective is to evaluate the environmental consequences of mining activities, with particular emphasis on mineral leaching. This study aims to evaluate the water quality around the C57 mine and the potential environmental impacts of mining operations. Water samples were collected from different sources, such as surface, underground, and spring waters, and chemical analyses were carried out to determine concentrations of different parameters, which were later compared with national and international reference guidelines. In addition to analysing the water samples, weathering tests were carried out using the Soxhlet extractor method to simulate the leaching of minerals over a shorter period (about 125 days). The concentrations of the analysed elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy (Al, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the weathering solutions were generally low and decreased throughout the testing period, with significant concentrations of aluminium and chromium exceed Canadian environmental quality guidelines for surface waters. The detected lithium concentrations are quite different, ranging from 8.7 to 19.8 μg/L in surface waters, from 6.9 to 74.1 μg/L in groundwater, and from 25.6 to 35.4 μg/L in spring waters, but are all below the US EPA (2021) recommendations threshold of 0.7 mg/L. Based on the findings, the article concludes that there is currently no clear evidence to indicate the environmental impact of mining activities on water quality in the analysed samples. However, weathering tests suggest potential long-term implications regarding the leaching of specific chemical elements, particularly aluminium and chromium.

AbstractIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious form of stroke and has limited available therapeutic options. As knowledge on ICH rapidly develops, cutting-edge techniques in the fields of surgical robots, regenerative medicine, and neurorehabilitation may revolutionize ICH treatment. However, these new advances still must be translated into clinical practice. In this review, we examined several emerging therapeutic strategies and their major challenges in managing ICH, with a particular focus on innovative therapies involving robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, stem cell transplantation, in situ neuronal reprogramming, and brain-computer interfaces. Despite the limited expansion of the drug armamentarium for ICH over the past few decades, the judicious selection of more efficacious therapeutic modalities and the exploration of multimodal combination therapies represent opportunities to improve patient prognoses after ICH.

Abstract
Companies are immersed in a process of digitalization that transforms business models and creates value due to the increase in technology. The adoption of new technologies has a great impact on organizations, not only at an economic level but also on their products, processes, and human resources. This process will result in a series of necessary changes to align with their internal competencies and optimize the investment made. This digitalization generates a digital transformation that affects both large companies and SMEs, with the result that new technologies are subject to continuous change, requiring the development and training of workers with the necessary skills to cope with it. Within this transformation, the automation of processes is a constantly growing topic in the business world, as it generates a series of benefits for organizations that they would not otherwise be able to acquire. Process automation reduces the workload in repetitive processes and provides more time for employees to attend to end-customer requests. The adoption of this technology will provide the company to be adapted to a changing world experiencing an increase in productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency. This research focuses on how the process automation provides the organization with a wide range of benefits such as workload reduction and increased productivity for most of the company. Although process automation can bring many benefits to the workplace, it is important to recognize that its use does not always automatically lead to a systematic improvement of workers’ skills. In this context, it is also important to note how employee training is necessary to face this new reality. Employee training and adaptation is critical to the organization’s sustainability. Training will need to be aimed at equipping the employee with technical skills to enable them to effectively use and implement technology and to assimilate it as a complement and not as a threat. To analyse the individual’s awareness of the digitization of the workplace, the automation of tasks and the advantages or disadvantages that may result from the introduction of technology, a questionnaire was developed, and 103 valid responses were obtained and analysed. This has resulted in a series of hypotheses that have been tried to be validate throughout the research work. These results have important implications for organizations seeking to implement automation and provide a basis for future research in this constantly evolving field.
Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Authors: Ayala Sebastian , Ma Zhengmin , Peng Ke , Ji Fuhai , Li David 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review serves to briefly summarize the current literature surveying the incidence of posttranscatheter aortic valve replacement acute kidney injury (TAVR AKI). Furthermore, this review extends itself to evaluate and potentially address modifiable risk factors, while acknowledging non-modifiable risk factors in the perioperative setting. These modifiable risk factors include but are not limited to access method, perioperative hypotension events, and need for blood transfusion in the setting of preoperative anemia.

Recent Findings
Recent retrospective studies have highlighted the incidence of post-TAVR AKI, citing as high as 1 in 6 patients. Despite exclusion of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from pivotal TAVR trials, data shows that over 50% of high-risk patients suffer > 3a chronic kidney disease (CKD) and about 10% of them suffer > 4 CKD, with the risk of AKI increasing significantly at each stage of CKD advancement. Meta-analyses have shown that patients who underwent TAVR via transfemoral (TF) approach compared to those who had transapical (TA) or transaortic (TaO) approach had significantly less AKI post-TAVR. Furthermore, in patients who developed post-TAVR AKI, 55% of them had received packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion, while only 21% of the patients who did not receive pRBCs develop post-TAVR AKI (p = .002). Post-TAVR AKI has been shown in multiple studies that it is an independent risk factor for increased short term and long-term mortality. These findings together highlight both the clinical significance and continued perioperative vigilance to further improve clinical outcomes.

Summary
This review aims to summarize recent literature regarding the association of AKI in the perioperative setting of TAVR. In addition, it parses the risk factors into both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Furthermore, it provides some recommendations including procedure approach, appreciating transfusion implication, and most importantly, preventing hypotension events in the perioperative period.
The Art and Science of Predicting Prognosis in Cancer Rehabilitation
Authors: Stubblefield Michael D. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Oncologists are often extremely hesitant to provide life expectancy to patients, their families, and rehabilitation clinicians who need this data to develop a realistic and compassionate plan of care. This review will discuss the art and science of determining prognosis for patients considered for admission to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF).

Recent Findings
Oncologist overestimate prognosis by as much as fivefold and generally communicate a significantly longer life expectancy to patients and families. Patients with active cancer requiring maximal assistance on admission to an IRF have a nearly 60% chance of acute care discharge.

Summary
This paper will discuss the art and science of using prognostic determination as a key component of making good decisions with respect in the admission of cancer patients to IRF. Prognosis is best determined prior to admission by rehabilitation professionals based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s oncologic history, functional status, and importantly presence or absence of meaningful treatment options. Patients with extremely limited life expectancy should only be admitted on a supportive pathway intent on expeditious discharge home with hospice.

Abstract
Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bursts of energetic X- and gamma-rays emitted from thunderstorms. The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) mounted onto the International Space Station (ISS) is dedicated to measure TGFs and optical signatures of lightning; ISS LIS (Lightning Imaging Sensor) detects lightning flashes allowing for simultaneous measurements with ASIM. Whilst ASIM measures

$$\sim $$

∼

300-400 TGFs per year, ISS LIS detects

∼

annual lightning flashes giving a disproportion of four orders of magnitude. Based on the temporal evolution of lightning flashes and the spatial pattern of the constituing events, we present an algorithm to reduce the number of space-detected flashes potentially associated with TGFs by

$$\sim $$

∼

60% and of associated LIS groups by

$$\sim $$

∼

95%. We use ASIM measurements to confirm that the resulting flashes are indeed those associated with TGFs detected at approx. 400 km altitude and thus benchmark our algorithm preserving 70–80% of TGFs from concurrent ASIM-LIS measurements. We compare how the radiance, footprint size and the global distribution of lightning flashes of the reduced set relates to the average of all measured lightning flashes and do not observe any significant difference. Finally, we present a parameter study of our algorithm and discuss which parameters can be tweaked to maximize the reduction efficiency whilst keeping flashes associated to TGFs. In the future, this algorithm will hence be capable of facilitating the search for TGFs in a reduced set of lightning flashes measured from space.
The Feldstein–Horioka Puzzle or Paradox after 44 years: a fallacy of composition
Authors: Horioka Charles Yuji 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe finding of Feldstein and Horioka (1980) that domestic saving and domestic investment are highly correlated across countries despite the rapid globalization and liberalization of financial markets in recent decades has been regarded as a Puzzle or Paradox. However, in this paper, we show that countries as a whole may not be able to transfer their capital abroad and that the Feldstein–Horioka Finding of domestic saving and domestic investment being highly correlated across countries may arise even if there are no frictions in financial markets and even if individual investors can freely transfer their capital abroad if there are frictions in goods markets such as transport costs, tariffs, nontariff barriers, the cost of regulatory compliance, etc. In fact, there is evidence that frictions in goods markets are a more serious impediment to countries as a whole being able to transfer their capital abroad than frictions in financial markets, especially in the short run.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAs a vital reproductive organ, flowers significantly influence the yield, sensory quality, and breeding efficacy of Camellia sinensis. Many biological characteristics of tea plants are influenced by metabolites; however, our knowledge of metabolites in tea flowers is limited. To investigate the physiological basis and molecular mechanisms underlying tea flower metabolism, we integrated metabolomics and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to analyze the metabolites present in the flowers of 171 tea genotypes. Untargeted metabolomic analysis detected 581 and 295 metabolites in positive and negative ionization modes, respectively. Twenty-seven distinct metabolites were observed between C. sinensis var. assamica (CSA) and C. sinensis var. sinensis (CSS). GWAS identified 1238 quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with 505 metabolites. Some structurally related metabolites tended to share common QTL. Integrating GWAS findings with secondary mass spectrometry (MS/MS) fragmentation and haplotype analysis for metabolites (-)-epigallocatechin-3-(3"-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG-3''-O-ME), (-)-Epicatechin-3-(3''-O-methyl) gallate (ECG-3''-O-ME), Pos_1118, and Neg_365 (p-coumaroylquinic acid) resulted in the identification of three candidate genes (W07g015551, W08g018636, and W01g002625). Taken together, our findings provide a foundation for exploring comprehensive metabolic pathways in various tissues of C. sinensis.
Thematic Analysis of Indigenous Perspectives on Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management Industries
Authors: McLellan Alec , Woolsey Cora A. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article explores Indigenous perspectives on archaeology in Canada and the United States and the role of archaeologists in engaging with Indigenous communities. As part of our study, we interviewed Indigenous community members about their experiences in archaeology and their thoughts on the discipline. We analyzed each interview thematically to identify patterns of meaning across the dataset and to develop common themes in the interview transcripts. Based on the results of our analysis, we identified six themes in the data: (1) Euro-colonialism damaged and interrupted Indigenous history, and archaeology offers Indigenous community members an opportunity to reconnect with their past; (2) archaeological practices restrict access of Indigenous community members to archaeological information and archaeological materials; (3) cultural resource management (CRM) is outpacing the capacity of Indigenous communities to engage meaningfully with archaeologists; (4) the codification of archaeology through standards, guidelines, and technical report writing limits the goals of the discipline; (5) archaeological methods are inconsistent and based on individual, or company-wide, funding and decision-making; and (6) archaeological software offers a new opportunity for Indigenous communities and archaeologists to collaborate on projects.
Obligation, Informed Consent, and Health-Care Reforms in China
Authors: Liu Jia 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDrawing on recent jurisprudential literature that emphasizes the role and function performed by obligation, this article examines how the ethical doctrine of informed consent has been implemented in the context of health-care reforms in China. It argues that, while the Chinese incorporation of informed consent has sought to empower patients, the major medical laws and social policies fail to instantiate the obligations. Along with this failure, the Chinese medical laws have also failed to secure the bond of trust between them. This article also points out that a rounded analysis of the implementation of informed consent in China must take into account the obligation and function of the major components of the health-care delivery system other than physicians and hospitals, such as health-care insurance schemes.
DNA methylation in necrotizing enterocolitis

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, are enzymatically regulated processes that directly impact gene expression patterns. In early life, they are central to developmental programming and have also been implicated in regulating inflammatory responses. Research into the role of epigenetics in neonatal health is limited, but there is a growing body of literature related to the role of DNA methylation patterns and diseases of prematurity, such as the intestinal disease necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a severe intestinal inflammatory disease, but the key factors that precede disease development remain to be determined. This knowledge gap has led to a failure to design effective targeted therapies and identify specific biomarkers of disease. Recent literature has identified altered DNA methylation patterns in the stool and intestinal tissue of neonates with NEC. These findings provide the foundation for a new avenue in NEC research. In this review, we will provide a general overview of DNA methylation and then specifically discuss the recent literature related to methylation patterns in neonates with NEC. We will also discuss how DNA methylation is used as a biomarker for other disease states and how, with further research, methylation patterns may serve as potential biomarkers for NEC.
Cohomological -dependence of ring structure for the moduli of one-dimensional sheaves on
Authors: Lim Woonam , Moreira Miguel , Pi Weite 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
We prove that the cohomology rings of the moduli space

$M_{d,\chi }$

of one-dimensional sheaves on the projective plane are not isomorphic for general different choices of the Euler characteristics. This stands in contrast to the

$\chi $

-independence of the Betti numbers of these moduli spaces. As a corollary, we deduce that

$M_{d,\chi }$

are topologically different unless they are related by obvious symmetries, strengthening a previous result of Woolf distinguishing them as algebraic varieties.
REFLECTIONS ON CYBORG COLLABORATIONS: CROSS-DISCIPLINARY COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE IN TECHNOLOGICALLY-FOCUSED CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
Authors: Kanga Zubin , Dyer Mark , Rowley Caitlin , Packham Jonathan 
Published: April 2024

AbstractCreating new works combining live musicians with new technologies provides both opportunities and challenges. The Cyborg Soloists research project has commissioned and managed the creation of 46 new works of this type, assembling teams of composers, performers, researchers and technology partners from industry. The majority of these collaborations have been smooth-running and fruitful, but a few have demonstrated complications. This article critically evaluates collaborative methods and methodologies used in the project so far, presenting five case studies involving different types of collaborative work, and exploring the range of professional relationships, the need for different types of expertise within the team and the way technology can act as both a creative catalyst and a source of creative resistance. The conclusions are intended as a toolkit – pragmatic guidelines to inform future practice – and are aimed at artists, technological collaborators, and commissioners and organisations who facilitate these types of creative collaborations.
