Adjusting and re-adjusting: learnings from the experience of coworkers for the future of coworking and shared working spaces
Authors: Suckley Louise , Orel Marko 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the learning gained from the evolving adjustment experiences of co-workers in moving to home-based working during the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of these experiences on re-adjusting to return to co-working.

Design/methodology/approach
Results of a longitudinal qualitative study are reported where a group of co-workers were interviewed on three occasions between 2019 and 2022. Experiences are analysed alongside the adjustment to the remote work model using a boundary management lens.

Findings
The main adjustment experiences were in work location, temporal structures, professional and social interactions, and a new adjustment area was identified around family role commitment that emerged in the home-based setting. Boundary management practices were temporal, behavioural, spatial and object-related and evolved with the unfolding of adjustment experiences. A return to using co-working spaces was driven by the need for social interaction and spatial boundaries but affected by the requirement for increased privacy.

Practical implications
This paper will help workplace managers to understand adjustment experiences and develop facilities that will support a positive shared working environment not fulfilled through home-based working.

Originality/value
Although many workers abruptly transitioned to home-based working during the pandemic, this research considers those who would normally choose to work in a community-centred working environment rather than being home-based. As such, their experience of adjustment is of greater interest, particularly in terms of their expectations for shared working spaces.

Published: January 2024

Purpose
This study aims to extend the literature on psychological contracts, employee mental health, self-control and equity sensitivity among employees in Ghana.

Design/methodology/approach
Data for this study came from a sample of 484 employees from an organisation in the telecommunication sector of Ghana. The details of the study were discussed with employees after which they were given the choice to participate in the study.

Findings
The present study found that psychological contract breach is directly associated with mental health and indirectly related to mental health through equity sensitivity and self-control.

Originality/value
The findings suggest that psychological contracts are important aspects of the employment relationship that could be used to enhance employee mental health. Furthermore, enhancing employees’ self-control and resolving issues of individuals high on equity sensitivity are effective ways that organisations can deploy to sustain mental health in the face of psychological contract breaches.
Tell me about your trauma: an empathetic approach-based protocol for interviewing school leaders who have experienced a crisis
Authors: Virella Patricia , Woulfin Sarah 
Published: January 2024

PurposeIn this study, we illuminate how techniques can be incorporated into interview protocols when conducting research with educational leaders who are being asked to discuss their experiences in crises.Design/methodology/approachWe interviewed seven researchers about their role as a researcher in collecting data on a crisis event from participants. Our analysis concentrated on several key components of the interview.FindingsIn presenting our findings on how scholars can adopt a caring and just approach to interview studies with leaders regarding crises, we portray how this approach can be melded into research design, interview protocol and interview techniques.Originality/valueWe illuminate that specific interview techniques are required when interviewing participants who have undergone and survived crises in their work, and we recommend the use of this protocol especially when an interview requires researchers to “handle with care.”

AbstractInsect legs play a crucial role in various modes of locomotion, including walking, jumping, swimming, and other forms of movement. The flexibility of their leg joints is critical in enabling various modes of locomotion. The frog‐legged leaf beetle Sagra femorata possesses remarkably enlarged hind legs, which are considered to be a critical adaptation that enables the species to withstand external pressures. When confronted with external threats, S. femorata initiates a stress response by rapidly rotating its hind legs backward and upward to a specific angle, thereby potentially intimidating potential assailants. Based on video analysis, we identified 4 distinct phases of the hind leg rotation process in S. femorata, which were determined by the range of rotation angles (0°−168.77°). Utilizing micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) technology, we performed a 3‐dimensional (3D) reconstruction and conducted relative positioning and volumetric analysis of the metacoxa and metatrochanter of S. femorata. Our analysis revealed that the metacoxa–trochanter joint is a “screw‐nut” structure connected by 4 muscles, which regulate the rotation of the legs. Further testing using a 3D‐printed model of the metacoxa–trochanter joint demonstrated its possession of a self‐locking mechanism capable of securing the legs in specific positions to prevent excessive rotation and dislocation. It can be envisioned that this self‐locking mechanism holds potential for application in bio‐inspired robotics.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundThere have been several reports demonstrating the safety of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) in the elderly, but none have focused specifically on lung cancer, which is a frequent biopsy procedure.MethodsIn this study, we retrospectively evaluated the safety of FB and subsequent treatment in elderly patients with suspected primary lung cancer. Elderly patients were defined as 75 years of age or older.ResultsA total of 141 patients, 77 in the elderly group and 64 in the nonelderly group, were reviewed. The median age of the elderly group was 80 years. Transbronchial lung biopsy was performed in more than 80% of all patients. Primary lung cancer was diagnosed in 42 (54.4%) of the elderly group and 35 (54.7%) of the nonelderly group (p = 0.38). Approximately 70% of the elderly patients with a confirmed diagnosis were treated, while more than half of the undiagnosed elderly patients had best supportive care. Complications such as bleeding, pneumothorax, fever, and pneumonia were similar in the elderly and nonelderly groups.ConclusionsThis study suggests that flexible bronchoscopy can be performed as safely in the elderly as in the nonelderly. Furthermore, even elderly patients may have a greater chance of receiving treatment when a definitive diagnosis is achieved.
Whole genome resequencing reveals candidate genes for postaxial polydactyly in Large White pigs

Published: January 2024

AbstractPolydactyly is a genetic abnormality that affects both pig welfare and industry profits. Despite efforts to explore the genetic basis of pig polydactyly, progress remains limited. In this study, we analyzed a group of Large White pigs with postaxial polydactyly, including 29 cases and 79 controls from 24 families. High‐depth sequencing was performed on 20 pigs, while low‐depth sequencing was improved through imputation for the remaining pigs. A genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and genetic differentiation were conducted using the resequencing dataset, resulting in the identification of 48 significantly associated SNPs and 27 candidate regions. The genetic differentiation regions on chromosomes 5 and 18, which harbored GWAS‐identified SNPs, were delineated as confidence regions. The confidence region at Chr18: 1.850–1.925 Mb covers the fifth intron of LMBR1, a gene that contains an important regulatory element for SHH, known as ZRS. Mutations in this ZRS have been found to cause polydactyly in animals and humans. Therefore, we propose LMBR1 as a prospective candidate gene for postaxial polydactyly. These findings emphasize the importance of exploring the role of ZRS within LMBR1 in the pathogenesis of polydactyly in pigs.
Evolution of China's Role in the Structure of Global Carbon Emission Transfers: An Empirical Analysis Based on Network Governance

Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper reconsiders the roles of China and some developed countries in the network of carbon emission transfers via international trade in value added from a new perspective of network governance. Network search intensity (NSI) and the extended gravity model are used with cross‐country panel data to analyze the mechanism of China's engagement in network governance of carbon emission transfers. The results show that from 2000 to 2009, China was a net exporter of carbon emissions, even though it shifted from the semi‐periphery to the core in the network of carbon emissions embodied in imports. Meanwhile, NSI had a significant positive impact on carbon emissions embodied in exports. Given China's important role in the global production network and division of labor, NSI may also affect industrial structure and the quality of the ecological environment to a large extent. This study analyses the network governance mechanism of China's participation in global carbon transfers. The results suggest that the technical complexity of export products and product heterogeneity do not change the positive impact of NSI on carbon emissions.
Industrial Policy, Product Switching, and Export Performance

Published: January 2024

AbstractIndustrial policy can promote economic growth and industrial upgrading by encouraging enterprises to adopt product switching. By utilizing comprehensive industrial policies and customs trade databases from 2000 to 2015, this paper found that firms with product ranges within policy‐supported areas were more active in product switching. Among all the enterprises that adopted the product switching, those with nonmain products in policy‐supported areas were more inclined to adjust their main product. They tended to transform nonmain product to main product as opposed to introducing new main product in order to effectively leverage their export experience and established technology. Whereas, for enterprises whose main product was within the policy‐supported areas, their tendency to switch products significantly decreased. Mechanism analysis suggested that policy support, by alleviating industry distress and mitigating excessive market competition, encouraged firms to switch products to areas with policy backing. Moreover, we estimated trade performance after product switching from the perspective of product unit price and export product quality. We found that for firms whose main product was in policy‐supported areas, such switching was more likely to result in “low price, high quality” exports, whereas for firms with nonmain products in supported areas, such switching was more likely to lead to “high price, low quality” exports, which indicates that firms switching to policy‐supported areas need to continuously develop their core competencies and operate effectively to improve their production performance.

AbstractRange shifts and changes in dominance of species in communities are among the major predicted impacts of climate change on ecosystems, supported by numerous modeling studies. While climate is changing particularly rapidly in the Arctic, little observational data is available to document predicted changes in the composition of communities, in particular from the large Russian tundra areas. Small rodents are a key component of tundra ecosystems implementing important ecological functions both as herbivores and as main prey for a whole guild of predators. Here we document changes over 60 years in occurrence of nine species of small rodents along a latitudinal gradient spanning from the forest‐tundra ecotone to the high Arctic tundra on Yamal Peninsula. All data were obtained using a single method: snap‐trapping. In general, the occurrence of lemmings, specialized arctic endemics, decreased in the southern parts of the peninsula, whereas the occurrence of voles, representing boreal or wide‐spread species, increased and expanded northwards. The occurrence of Siberian lemmings (Lemmus sibiricus) in particular declined over the whole latitudinal gradient and possibly disappeared from the southernmost zones, whereas collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx torquatus) declined significantly only in the forest tundra. The strongest increase was observed in the tundra zones for narrow‐headed voles (Lasiopodomys gregalis), a wide‐spread species inhabiting meadows and riparian habitats, and Middendorff's voles (Alexandromys middendorffii), a primarily low Arctic species inhabiting waterlogged tundra. Both species also expanded their distribution range northwards during the last two decades. The observed changes might be due to the effect of several drivers of environmental change occurring in concert: climate warming both in winter and in summer, and increased human activity notably related to intensive reindeer herding and industrial development.

AbstractCroplands account for ~ one‐third of global anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. A number of recent field experiments found substantial fallow‐period N2O emissions, which have been neglected for decades. However, the global contribution of the fallow‐period emissions and the associated drivers remain unclear. Based on 360 observations across global agroecosystems, we simulated the ratio of the fallow to the whole‐year N2O emissions (Rfallow) by developing a mixed‐effect model and compiling cropping‐system‐specific input data. Our results revealed that the mean global gridded Rfallow was 44% (15%–75%, 95% confidence interval), with hotspots mainly in the northern high latitudes. For most cropping systems, soil pH was the dominant driver of global variation in Rfallow. Global cropland emission factors (i.e., the percentage of fertilizer N emitted as N2O, EFs) in EF‐based models doubled to 1.9% when the fallow‐period N2O emissions were included in our simulation, similar to EFs estimated by process‐based and atmospheric inversion models (1.8%–2.3%). Overall, our study highlights the importance of fallow‐period N2O emissions in annual totals, especially for single cropping systems and croplands in acidic areas. To accurately estimate N2O emissions for national greenhouse gas inventories, it is crucial to update current EFs with full consideration of the fallow‐period N2O emissions in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 1 method.

AbstractIntroductionSome previous studies have reported that a first‐step ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) with touch‐up radiofrequency (RF) ablation can facilitate mitral isthmus (MI) block and improves the ablation outcomes in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) patients. However, the effect of an initial RF ablation with an adjunctive EIVOM has not been fully investigated.MethodsThis study enrolled 233 PeAF patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation and linear ablation including an MI, roof line, and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation. An EIVOM was performed when endocardial ablation with or without coronary sinus ablation failed to create MI block.ResultsBidirectional MI block was achieved in 224 patients (96.1%). Among them, MI block was obtained by only RF ablation in 174/224 patients (77.7%) (RF group) and an adjunctive EIVOM was needed in 50/224 (22.3%) (EIVOM group). During the follow‐up, 113 (64.9%) RF group patients were free from AF/atrial tachycardia compared to 41 (82.0%) EIVOM group patients (log‐rank p = .045). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, an adjunctive EIVOM was associated with a lower recurrence rate (hazard ratio = 0.39, 95% confidence interval = 0.17–0.78, p = .006).ConclusionAn initial RF ablation with an adjunctive EIVOM strategy improved MI ablation's acute success rate and was associated with better clinical outcomes.

Published: January 2024

AbstractCampylobacter jejuni is the predominant bacterial cause of gastroenteritis, the main cause of foodborne deaths. Currently, Campylobacter is a common foodborne pathogen found in poultry; thus, there is a need for the development of novel intervention strategies. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of eugenol on C. jejuni load in an experimental chicken meat model. We observed that eugenol was effective in reducing C. jejuni load for 7 days of storage. Eugenol treatment at all concentrations (1.28, 5.12, and 10.24 mg mL−1) decreased Campylobacter load more significantly in the reference strain, and this decrease was dose‐dependent throughout the storage period. Compared to the control group, eugenol reduced the counts of chicken isolate and the reference strain of C. jejuni by approximately 1.5 and 4.5 log/CFU, respectively, after 7 days of storage. Eugenol is a promising agent for improving the safety of poultry.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a highly complex brain region that is crucial for homeostatic regulation through neuroendocrine signaling, outflow of the autonomic nervous system, and projections to other brain areas. In the past years, single‐cell datasets of the hypothalamus have contributed immensely to the current understanding of the diverse hypothalamic cellular composition. While the PVN has been adequately classified functionally, its molecular classification is currently still insufficient. To address this, we created a detailed atlas of PVN transcriptomic cell types by integrating various PVN single‐cell datasets into a recently published hypothalamus single‐cell transcriptome atlas. Furthermore, we functionally profiled transcriptomic cell types, based on relevant literature, existing retrograde tracing data, and existing single‐cell data of a PVN‐projection target region. Finally, we validated our findings with immunofluorescent stainings. In our PVN atlas dataset, we identify the well‐known different neuropeptide types, each composed of multiple novel subtypes. We identify Avp‐Tac1, Avp‐Th, Oxt‐Foxp1, Crh‐Nr3c1, and Trh‐Nfib as the most important neuroendocrine subtypes based on markers described in literature. To characterize the preautonomic functional population, we integrated a single‐cell retrograde tracing study of spinally projecting preautonomic neurons into our PVN atlas. We identify these (presympathetic) neurons to cocluster with the Adarb2+ clusters in our dataset. Further, we identify the expression of receptors for Crh, Oxt, Penk, Sst, and Trh in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, a key region that the pre‐parasympathetic PVN neurons project to. Finally, we identify Trh‐Ucn3 and Brs3‐Adarb2 as some centrally projecting populations. In conclusion, our study presents a detailed overview of the transcriptomic cell types of the murine PVN and provides a first attempt to resolve functionality for the identified populations.
Coping and anxiety symptoms in family carers of dependent older people: Mediation and moderation effects of subjective caregiver burden

Published: January 2024

AbstractIntroductionCoping responses influence anxiety symptoms experienced by informal carers. However, only a few studies have investigated the longitudinal association between coping responses and anxiety symptoms in family carers. We also currently have limited knowledge on the mediating or moderating influence of subjective caregiver burden on this relationship over time. The aim of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between coping and anxiety symptoms in family carers of dependent older people, and examine the mediating or moderating role of subjective caregiver burden over time.DesignProspective longitudinal study.MethodsWe recruited and enrolled participants from a probability sample of 132 family carers of older dependent relatives. We measured coping strategies, anxiety symptoms, subjective caregiver burden, and several covariates (sex and intensity of care) at baseline and at 1‐year follow‐up. We used generalized estimating equations with multiple imputations to examine associations over time.ResultsConsidering both direct and indirect effects through subjective burden, anxiety symptoms were positively associated with proactive coping (B = 0.13), planning (B = 0.15), self‐distraction (B = 0.24), denial (B = 1.15), venting (B = 0.94) and self‐blame (B = 0.90), and negatively associated with positive reframing (B = −0.83) and acceptance (B = −0.75). Subjective caregiver burden moderated the relationship between anxiety symptoms and planning, and the use of denial as a form of coping.ConclusionsOur results show that subjective caregiver burden is an important moderator and mediator of the longitudinal association between coping responses and anxiety symptoms in carers.Clinical RelevanceProactive coping and planning when subjective burden is low, self‐distraction, denial, venting, and self‐blame significantly increase levels of anxiety and caregiver burden in carers over time. Acceptance and positive reframing however as coping responses are associated with lower levels of anxiety and caregiver burden long‐term. Our findings highlight the need for a multi‐dimensional approach in future caregiving interventions.
