Autonomy, competence and relatedness: how and why do artisan entrepreneurs act as responsible leaders?
Authors: Mousa Mohamed , Althalathini Doaa , Avolio Beatrice 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to answer the question: What stimulates artisan entrepreneurs to act as responsible leaders?Design/methodology/approachA qualitative research method was employed and semi-structured interviews with 30 artisans working in four different artisanal activities were used to gather the data. Thematic analysis was subsequently applied to the interview transcripts.FindingsThe findings suggest that the main factors causing artisan entrepreneurs to act responsibly are as follows: autonomy (the authority artisans exercise in managing their businesses; preserving socio-cultural identity is an artisan’s main duty; proving an individual competency in implementing society-related priorities), competence (adhering to generally accepted business practices; simplicity of developing and maintaining the social agenda of artisan enterprises; meeting the clients’ desire in exercising a social awareness) and relatedness (returning social favours; necessitating involvement with different stakeholders; contributing to the common good).Originality/valueThis paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on artisan entrepreneurship, responsible leadership and research in tourism and hospitality, in which empirical studies on the responsible practices of artisan entrepreneurs have been limited so far.
Design and characterization of 3D-printed TPU-based lattice structures. Application to methodology for the design of personalized therapeutic products
Authors: de la Rosa Sergio , Mayuet Pedro F. , Silva Cátia S. , Sampaio Álvaro M. , Rodríguez-Parada Lucía 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This papers aims to study lattice structures in terms of geometric variables, manufacturing variables and material-based variants and their correlation with compressive behaviour for their application in a methodology for the design and development of personalized elastic therapeutic products.

Design/methodology/approach
Lattice samples were designed and manufactured using extrusion-based additive manufacturing technologies. Mechanical tests were carried out on lattice samples for elasticity characterization purposes. The relationships between sample stiffness and key geometric and manufacturing variables were subsequently used in the case study on the design of a pressure cushion model for validation purposes. Differentiated areas were established according to patient’s pressure map to subsequently make a correlation between the patient’s pressure needs and lattice samples stiffness.

Findings
A substantial and wide variation in lattice compressive behaviour was found depending on the key study variables. The proposed methodology made it possible to efficiently identify and adjust the pressure of the different areas of the product to adapt them to the elastic needs of the patient. In this sense, the characterization lattice samples turned out to provide an effective and flexible response to the pressure requirements.

Originality/value
This study provides a generalized foundation of lattice structural design and adjustable stiffness in application of pressure cushions, which can be equally applied to other designs with similar purposes. The relevance and contribution of this work lie in the proposed methodology for the design of personalized therapeutic products based on the use of individual lattice structures that function as independent customizable cells.

The impact of macroeconomic factors on the European travel and leisure sector: the context of Russo–Ukrainian war
Authors: Muddasir Muhammad , Borges Ana Pinto , Vieira Elvira , Vieira Bruno Miguel 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aims to address the macroeconomic factors effect on the travel and leisure (T&L) industry throughout Europe within the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war that have started on 24 February 2022. Specifically, top tourist destinations are analysed, such as Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, as well as Europe in general.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts the panel regression approach based on the data that is provided on a daily basis, and it covers a period of nearly 14 months, starting on 24 February 2022 and ending on 15 April 2023.

Findings
The findings indicate that the European T&L sector is impacted by macroeconomic variables. Namely, the T&L sector is significantly impacted by interest rates, geopolitical risk, oil and gas, whereas inflation has a muted effect, indicating a comparatively lesser influence on the dynamics of the industry. This research contributes to existing literature by providing one of the first quantitative analyses of how macroeconomic factors impact the European T&L business in the context of a geopolitical conflict.

Research limitations/implications
A study of the Russian–Ukrainian war may be limited by a number of research constraints. The continuing nature of the conflict, the lack of communication between the parties and potential political prejudice are some of these difficulties. Any research on the Russo-Ukrainian war should be done with these limits in mind.

Practical implications
Macroeconomic variables play a significant role on the T&L sector development; therefore, when designing resilience strategies, they need to be accounted for.

Originality/value
To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to analyse how macroeconomic factors affected the European T&L business using a quantitative approach. The macroeconomic variables that were taken into account in this study included interest rates, inflation, oil and petrol prices, as well as the geopolitical risk index.

Abstract

Multitrophic plant–insect interactions are mediated by plant volatiles. The emission of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles is influenced by environmental conditions, such as soil microbes and nutrient composition, with consequences for above‐ground trophic interactions. Here, we investigated whether insect exuviae in the soil alter the plant's volatile blend and attraction of parasitoids in the laboratory and whether this attraction also occurs in the field.

We studied the effects of soil amendment with exuviae originating from three insect species, Tenebrio molitor, Acheta domesticus and Hermetia illucens, on the proportion of parasitised Plutella xylostella caterpillars and Brevicoryne brassicae aphids in the field in three consecutive years. In the laboratory, we collected and analysed the volatile blend of amended plants infested with caterpillars or aphids. The attraction of the parasitoids Diadegma semiclausum and Diaeretiella rapae, respectively, towards these volatile blends was assessed in an olfactometer.

Our study shows that insect exuviae‐amended soil enhanced the proportion of parasitised herbivores of two species in the field. Relative amounts of several components of the plant volatile blend were affected by soil amendment. Soil amendment with Acheta domesticus or Tenebrio molitor exuviae resulted in an increased attraction of the two parasitoid species in the olfactometer.

Soil amendment with insect exuviae altered the plant volatile blend leading to enhanced attraction of parasitoids in laboratory assays. These effects were sustained under the complex and variable biotic and abiotic conditions in the field. Our results underline the importance of belowground processes, such as the decomposition of insect exuviae, on aboveground volatile‐mediated multitrophic interactions.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Ex situ conservation is an effective approach to prevent the extinction of endangered species. Biotic interactions (e.g. herbivory and pollination) are critical to ex situ conservation success, including plant establishment, survival and reproduction. However, shifts in biotic interactions between wild and ex situ populations are still poorly understood.

We compared herbivory and pollination characteristics between the only wild population (WP) and three ex situ populations (LP, local population, nearby WP; NP, north population, ca. 850 km; and SP, south population, ca. 750 km) of a critically endangered tree species (Sinojackia huangmeiensis) to explore the latitudinal changes in plant‐invertebrate interactions.

Larvae of the Limacodidae family were the dominant herbivores in WP, LP and NP, while the only herbivore observed in SP was snail. Compared to WP, the leaf herbivory rate was unchanged in LP but decreased in NP and SP. Leaf defence traits (total phenols, tannins, leaf thickness and leaf dry matter content) increased or remained unchanged in the three ex situ populations. A pollinator (Apis cerana) of S. huangmeiensis was present in the four populations. NP and SP lacked some pollinators that were found in both WP and LP, but they shared one pollinator that was not observed in WP and LP. The pollinator visiting frequency increased in SP, while it did not change significantly in LP and NP.

Synthesis and applications. Our results suggested that both herbivory and pollination of Sinojackia huangmeiensis changed in ex situ populations, with complete or partial changes in herbivores, leaf herbivory rate, pollinators, pollinator visiting frequency and fruit set in the two distant ex situ populations. This work provides a unique empirical study of shifts in both antagonistic and mutualistic biotic interactions between wild and ex situ populations. We emphasized that it is essential to integrate herbivore and pollinator management in future ex situ conservation of plant species.

AbstractDNA mixture deconvolution in the forensic DNA community has been addressed in a variety of ways. “Front‐end” methods that separate the cellular components of mixtures can provide a significant benefit over computational methods as there is no need to rely on models with inherent uncertainty to generate conclusions. Historically, cell separation methods have been investigated but have been largely ineffective due to high cost, unreliability, and the lack of proper instrumentation. However, the last decade has given rise to more innovative technology that can target and recover cells more effectively. This study focuses on the development and optimization of a method to selectively label and recover male cells in a mixture of male and female epithelial cells using a Y‐chromosome labeling kit with DEPArray™ technology, whereby male cells are labeled and recovered into a single extraction‐ready tube. Labeling efficiency was tested using freshly collected and aged buccal swabs where 70%–75% and 38% of male cells were labeled, respectively, with less than 1% false positives. DEPArray™ detection was assessed using single buccal epithelial cells where approximately 80% of labeled cells were identified as male. Mixtures (1:1, 1:10, male to female) yielded profiles that were predominantly single source male or those in which the male component was more easily interpreted. The male‐specific labeling method was demonstrated to be both robust and reliable when used on freshly collected cells. While the DEPArray™ meditated detection and recovery had notable limitations, it still improved the interpretation of the male component in same‐cell mixtures in more recently collected samples.

Published: March 2024

AbstractCodonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf. is an essential traditional medicinal herb in China. Soil sickness caused by continuous cropping is the main reason for the yield reduction of C. pilosula. However, because of the lack of systematic research on the mechanism of continuous cropping obstacles in C. pilosula, there is a lack of effective measures to reduce or even restrain the disorder of continuous cropping obstacles in C. pilosula. The root system, inter‐root soil microorganisms and non‐inter‐root soil of C. pilosula under a continuous cropping system (e.g. crop rotation, two consecutive crops and three consecutive crops) as well as under different mulching methods (the mulched film and the uncovered) were used as experimental materials for the study. The plant growth of C. pilosula was significantly inhibited when continuous cropping reached 2 years. At the same time, the mulched film significantly (p < .05) promoted the development of C. pilosula under continuous cropping and considerably mitigated the plant death rate of C. pilosula in all fields. The content of soil nutrients, such as organic matter and inorganic nitrogen, decreased with increasing years of continuous cropping. In contrast, the mulched film improved this soil nutrient in continuous cropping. There was a tendency for the number of endemic operational taxonomic units (OTUs) to decrease in continuous cropping. Additionally, the mulched film altered the distribution of shared and endemic OTUs in the samples and had a recruiting effect on inter‐root microorganisms in continuous cropping. Betaproteobacteriales flora abundance decreased with increasing years of continuous cropping, which showed a strong positive correlation with the immune system and environmental adaptation function. The mulched film increased the abundance of beneficial microorganisms, such as AKAU4049, Betaproteobacteriales and Gaiellales, to adapt and improve the continuous crop disorder of C. pilosula. In conclusion, mulching can enhance the soil environment and facilitate the growth and development of C. pilosula during continuous cultivation.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundTransfusion of red blood cells (RBC) to rapidly increase hemoglobin levels have been associated with increased risks and worse outcomes in critically ill children. The international TAXI consensus from 2018 (pediatric critical care transfusion and anemia expertise initiative) recommended restrictive RBC transfusion strategies in pediatric patients.ObjectiveTo elucidate physicians perioperative RBC transfusion trigger strategies for pediatric patients in the Nordic countries and to investigate what factors influence the decision to transfuse this group of patients.MethodsAn electronic web‐based survey designed by the TransfUsion triggers in Pediatric perioperAtive Care (TUPAC) initiative including six different clinical scenarios was sent to anesthesiologist treating pediatric patients at university hospitals in the Nordic countries on February 1, 2023 and closed May 1, 2023.ResultsThe study had a response rate of 67.7% (180 responders out of 266 contacted). Median hemoglobin thresholds triggering RBC transfusions were 7.0 [IQR, 7.0–7.3] g/dL in a stable young child (1‐year‐old), 7.0 [IQR, 7.0–7.0] g/dL in the stable older child (5‐year‐old), 8.5 [IQR, 8.0–9.0] g/dL in the older child with cardiac disease, 9.0 [IQR, 8.0–10.0] g/dL the older child with traumatic brain injury, 8.0 [IQR, 7.3–9.0] g/dL in stabilized older child with septic shock and 8.0 [IQR, 7.0–9.0] g/dL in the older child with active but non‐life‐threatening bleeding. Apart from specific hemoglobin level, RBC transfusions were mostly triggered by high lactate level (74.2%), increasing heart rate (68.0%), prolonged capillary refill time (48.3%), and lowered blood pressure (47.8%). No statistical difference was found between the Nordic countries, work experience, or enrollment in a pediatric anesthesia fellowship program regarding RBC transfusion strategies.ConclusionsAnesthesiologists in the Nordic countries report restrictive perioperative RBC transfusion strategies for children that are mostly in agreement with the international TAXI recommendations. However, RBC transfusions strategies were modified to be guided by more liberal trigger levels when pediatric patients presented with severe comorbidity such as severe sepsis, septic shock, and non‐life‐threatening bleeding.
Low oxygen tension during in vitro embryo production improves the yield, quality, and cryotolerance of bovine blastocysts

Published: March 2024

AbstractMammalian oocytes undergo maturation and fertilization in the low‐oxygen (O2) environment of the oviduct. To evaluate the effect of O2 tension during in vitro maturation and fertilization on embryo yield, quality, cryotolerance, and gene expression, we matured and fertilized bovine cumulus‐oocyte complexes under low (5%) or high (20%) O2 tension. Presumptive zygotes from both groups were cultured at 5% O2 for 8 days. Blastocysts were vitrified, and then warmed, and cultured for further 24 h to assess their cryotolerance. Our findings indicate that low O2 during maturation and fertilization enhances embryo development and cell count in both fresh and vitrified/warmed blastocysts. In this study, the interaction of O2 tension and status (fresh or vitrified/warmed) affected the transcript abundance of SOD2, AQP3, and BAX in blastocysts. These results highlight the role of low O2 tension during bovine maturation and fertilization and provide support to using 5% O2 throughout all stages of bovine in vitro embryo production.

RésuméCet article porte sur la géographie urbaine et les dynamiques de l'innovation à l'échelle du quartier. Il s'agit de s'interroger quant à l'apport des quartiers en soutien à l'innovation et à comprendre, d'une part, dans quelle mesure et comment les entrepreneurs se servent du quartier et des lieux qui s'y trouvent pour obtenir et échanger des connaissances, et d'autre part, les rapports de ce type qu'ils entretiennent avec les acteurs localisés dans le reste de la région urbaine ainsi que dans d'autres régions. À partir de l'étude de cas du quartier Mile End à Montréal, les résultats montrent que pour certains répondants ces interactions, qui revêtent un caractère à la fois économique et social, sont centrales à l'attrait du quartier. Pour eux, les tiers lieux – cafés, trottoirs ainsi que les bâtiments où se localisent leurs entreprises ‐ sont des lieux d'interaction. Cependant, pour d'autres, le quartier ne représente qu'un lieu agréable et central où se localiser : pour ceux‐ci, les interactions et échanges sont tournées vers l'extérieur.

Published: March 2024

AbstractWe described an unusual combination of fibroblastic connective nevus (FCTN) already present at birth with underlying vascular anomalies. Overall, the lesion appeared as a large purplish‐brown mass in the groin region up to the third of the right thigh, with partial spontaneous regression during the first three months of life. The FCTN observed exhibited several unusual characteristics: it was congenital, large in size, and located in the lower limbs. Finally, it represented the first case described in which an FCTN arose in association with vascular anomalies.

AbstractDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a cutaneous sarcoma with a high propensity for local invasion and recurrence. Although it is a rare event, the occurrence of multiple tumors in a single patient raises a diagnostic dilemma, as metastatic disease should be differentiated from multiple primary malignant events. In more than 90% of DFSP, a pathogenic t(17;22) translocation leads to the expression of COL1A1::PDGFB fusion transcripts. Karyotype analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and RT‐PCR can be useful ancillary studies in detecting this characteristic rearrangement, and sequencing of the fusion transcript can be used to support a clonal origin in metastatic and multifocal disease. However, previous reports have demonstrated variable sensitivity of these assays, in part due to the high sequence variability of the COL1A1::PDGFB fusion. Here, we report a patient who developed two distinct DFSP tumors over the course of 7 years. Chromosomal microarray analysis identified distinctive genomic alterations in the two tumors, supporting the occurrence of multiple primary malignant events.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe increase in authors per scientific article in many different medical and scientific disciplines has raised concerns over ethical authorship. Trends in authorship in dermatopathology are unknown.MethodsCross‐sectional study of a random sample of 200 articles from the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology (1981–2020).ResultsThe number of authors per article increased by an estimated 96% between 1981 and 2020 (2.7–5.3), while the relative citation ratio decreased by an estimated 56% during the same period (1.19–0.52). Higher author counts were not associated with higher relative citation ratios (p = 0.2349) or analytic study designs (p = 0.2987). Higher relative citation ratios were associated with analytic study designs (p = 0.0374).ConclusionsThere has been significant growth in authorship credit at the journal without a corresponding increase in research impact or study rigor. Remedial measures to stem authorship inflation and promote more impactful studies may be necessary.
