A Girls’ Army of Vengeance?: Perceptions of Sexual Violence against Children in post‐1905 Russia
Authors: Oberländer Alexandra 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article offers a microhistorical reading of a criminal case of sexual violence in 1908 St Petersburg. It traces the re‐interpretation of underage girls from innocent victims to potential prostitutes and carriers of debauchery and disease. Furthermore, after this case, the perceptions shifted from pitied victim to source of threatening vengeance. This discursive shift took place in newspapers, court procedures but also in charity organisations encountering victims of sexual violence. While vengeance is usually reserved as a trope for framing the actions of adult victims of sexual violence, here it was explicitly applied to underage girls, thereby rendering victims of sexual violence a threat to Russian society.
Luxembourg: Political Developments and Data in 2022
Authors: DUMONT PATRICK , KIES RAPHAEL 
Published: October 2023

AbstractLuxembourg politics in 2022 was marked by the economic consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine. The government responded through policy packages negotiated with social partners. The decade‐long process of revamping the Constitution finally came to an end, and new measures were taken to allow for greater participation of foreign residents in local politics. The year 2022 was indeed a pre‐electoral year, as both local and national elections are scheduled for 2023. Parties started to prepare for these important deadlines through personnel movements.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of resin cement material types on tooth with endocrown and onlay restorations. The first molar was scanned using Micro‐CT and underwent a modelling process to obtain the 3D model for computational simulation. Eight models were simulated in the current study with two loading conditions (720N vertical load and 200N oblique load), two types of restoration (onlay and endocrown restorations), and two resin cement variants (dual‐cure resin cement and light‐cure resin cement). The tooth with onlay restoration showed a significant stress reduction (up to 70%) when using light‐cure resin cement compared to dual‐cure resin cement. In contrast, types of cement did not affect stress distribution in the tooth with endocrown restoration. The current study found that dual‐cure resin cement was preferable in Endocrown and Onlay restorations, due to dual‐cure resin cement provided better bond strength compared to light‐cure resin cement.

AbstractWagyu is recognized for producing marbled beef with high nutritional value and flavor. Reportedly, Wagyu has been widely used to improve the meat quality of local breeds around the world. However, studies on the genetic mechanism of meat quality in Wagyu at the whole‐genome level are rarely reported. Here, whole‐genome sequencing data of 11 Wagyu and 115 other individuals were used to explore the genomic variations and genes under selection pressure in Wagyu. A total of 31 349 non‐synonymous variants and 53 102 synonymous variants were identified in Wagyu. The population structure analysis showed that Wagyu had the closest genetic relationship with Mishima–Ushi cattle and was apparently separated from other cattle breeds. Then, composite likelihood ratio (CLR), integrated haplotype score, fixation index and cross‐population composite likelihood ratio (XP‐CLR) tests were performed to identify the candidate genes under positive selection in Wagyu. In total, 770 regions containing 312 genes were identified by at least three methods. Among them, 97 regions containing 27 genes were detected by all four methods. We specifically illustrate a list of interesting genes, including LRP2BP, GAA, CACNG6, CXADR, GPCPD1, KLF2, KLF13, SOX5, MYBPC1, SLC25A10, ATP8A1 and MYH15, which are associated with lipid metabolism, fat deposition, muscle development, bone development, feed intake and growth traits in Wagyu. This is the first study to explore the genomic variations and selection signatures of Wagyu at the whole‐genome level. These results will provide significant help to beef cattle improvement and breeding.
Distributions and expressions of Aquaporin‐5 and 7 in the testes of developing male chicks
Authors: Kara Hülya , Tekiner Deniz 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins that act as water channels for which a total of 13 orthologs of AQP genes in birds have been reported. Tissue expression and cellular or subcellular localization of AQPs have been poorly investigated in the male reproductive system of birds. We aimed to determine the distribution and localization of AQP5 and AQP7 proteins by immunocytochemistry in testicular tissues obtained from developing chicks (14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days old). Totally 175 male chicks (Ross 308) were used in the study from which testicular tissue was removed, fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution, then embedded in paraffin blocks. Five μm sections were cut, mounted on poly‐L‐lysine slides, dried in an oven, then dehydrated using standard immunohistochemistry staining protocol. The sections were imaged with a Nikon Eclipse 50i trinocular light microscope. Immunohistochemical evaluation of the immune reactivity of AQP5 revealed a positive immune reaction in spermatocytes and interstitial areas of the testes in 14‐day‐old chicks. Testicular tissue AQP5 immune reactivity was observed in the tubule and the interstitial regions of 21‐, 28‐, 35‐ and 42‐day‐old chicks. AQP7 immune reactions were determined in the tubule and interstitial areas testes of developing chicks' testis tissue, with increasing positivity corresponding to older age. The expression of AQP5 and AQP7 appears to be species‐specific due to differences in localization and expression in male chicks compared with studies of other mammals, which is likely to play an important role in regulating fluid and sperm volume. This research can serve as a base for future studies that will contribute to the understanding of the male genital system of AQPs.
Prostaglandins as local regulators of ovarian physiology in ruminants
Authors: Berisha Bajram , Thaqi Granit , Sinowatz Fred , Schams Dieter , Rodler Daniela , Pfaffl Michael W. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractProstaglandins are synthesized from arachidonic acid through the catalytic activities of cyclooxygenase, while the production of different prostaglandin types, prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE), are regulated by specific prostaglandin synthases (PGFS and PGES). Prostaglandin ligands (PGF and PGE) bind to specific high‐affinity receptors and initiate biologically distinct signalling pathways. In the ovaries, prostaglandins are known to be important endocrine regulators of female reproduction, in addition to maintaining local function through autocrine and/or paracrine effect. Many research groups in different animal species have already identified a variety of factors and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the regulation of prostaglandin functions. In addition, prostaglandins stimulate their intrafollicular and intraluteal production via the pathway of prostaglandin self‐regulation in the ovary. Therefore, the objective of the review article is to discuss recent findings about local regulation patterns of prostaglandin ligands PGF and PGE during different physiological stages of ovarian function in domestic ruminants, especially in bovine. In conclusion, the discussed local regulation mechanisms of prostaglandins in the ovary may stimulate further research activities in different methodological approaches, especially during final follicle maturation and ovulation, as well as corpus luteum formation and function.
Adult children and older people's demand for community care services in urban China
Authors: Zhou Junshan , Walker Alan 
Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivesThis paper has two objectives. First, it assesses whether the existing informal care provided by adult children has an impact on older people's propensity to demand community care services. Second, it compares the different statuses of sons and daughters in the formal/informal support trade‐off.MethodsThe paper is based on an analysis of data from the 2018 wave of the China Longitudinal Ageing Social Survey, within the framework of a revised version of Andersen's model, and applies multilevel models to analyse the effects of adult children's gender, numbers and the quality of their support, on older people's willingness to purchase community care services.ResultsOlder people who had sons as well as daughters demanded fewer services, while the number of sons increased service demand. Regarding sons, community care services compensated for economic support, daily life care and spiritual consolation, but did so only in respect of daily life care from daughters.ConclusionsMany families have only one son or one daughter as a result of the one‐child policy and therefore often require support from formal care services. Moreover, there is a distinct gender division and an influential filial culture governing the impact of services on the support provided by adult children. Because ageing in place depends on both informal family support and formal services, this key policy goal is at risk if the latter provides insufficient support to the former.
Ecological worldview moderates the mediation of implementation‐intentions found in the relationship between ecological concerns and pro‐environmental behaviour

Published: October 2023

AbstractEven after adopting various measures, recent years have witnessed a surge in environment‐related issues such as pollution and climate change. These issues have been considered anthropogenic, and it is a well‐received notion that changing human behaviour is crucial for sustainable development. Promoting pro‐environmental behaviour (PEB) requires understanding of associations among relevant factors; the present study aimed to explore the same among a few less‐explored constructs, which, along with other factors, may significantly explain pro‐environmental behaviour. The study examined the direct relationship of PEB with ecological intelligence (EI) and self‐transcendent values. Also, it explored the mediating effects of implementation‐intentions and the moderating effect of the “new ecological paradigm” (NEP) on PEB. The data were obtained from 400 adult participants using a set of standardized questionnaires. The results showed significant direct and indirect associations among EI, self‐transcendent values, implementation‐intentions, the NEP and PEB. Implementation‐intentions significantly mediated the relationship of EI and values with PEB, and the mediation was moderated by the NEP. Individuals low on EI but endorsing the NEP showed implementation‐intentions similar to those with high EI. Knowledge of the interplay among these factors can be utilized to design interventions for promoting PEB.
Do you trust the rumors? Examining the determinants of health‐related misinformation in India

Published: October 2023

AbstractRumors, conspiracies, and health‐related misinformation have gone hand‐in‐hand with the global COVID‐19 pandemic, making it hard to obtain reliable and accurate information. Against this background, this study examined the different psychosocial predictors of believing in conspiratorial information related to general health in India. Indian participants (N = 826) responded to measures related to conspiratorial thinking, trust, moral emotions, political ideology, bullshit receptivity, and belief in conspiratorial information in an online survey. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine the validity of the instruments used with an Indian sample. Results revealed that lower subjective socioeconomic status, lower trust in political institutions, greater negative moral emotions, greater conspiratorial thinking, and right‐leaning political ideology predicted beliefs in health‐related conspiratorial information. In highlighting these potential psychosocial determinants of conspiratorial beliefs, we can move toward combating conspiracies effectively and developing necessary interventions for the same. Future work can focus on assessing the moderating effects of political ideology on conspiratorial beliefs in India.
Reject bias: A dialectical perspective on the relationship between bottom‐line mentality and unethical pro‐organizational behaviour

Published: October 2023

AbstractThere is a “positive–negative” debate on the development of the bottom‐line mentality (BLM) concept. Previous research showed a relationship between BLM and unethical pro‐organizational behaviour (UPB) and revealed that BLM positively affected UPB. This research aims to challenge this partial view and calls for a more balanced and comprehensive view of the BLM concept by revealing the potential negative influencing mechanism between BLM and UPB. Drawing from social information processing theory, we construct a moderated‐mediation model to test the mediating mechanism through different individual‐level processes in the Chinese context. Findings indicate that team BLM positively affects member UPB via state performance‐prove goal orientation and perceived insider status and negatively affects member UPB via state performance‐avoid goal orientation. These results confirm the overall positive relationship between team BLM and member UPB but also document the possible inhibitory mechanism of BLM on UPB. This study is the first to acknowledge the potential negative relationship between BLM and UPB, which deserves attention. This research also presents a complete picture of the BLM literature. The findings of this work have significant implications in enabling organizations to appropriately handle BLM and its relationship with UPB dynamically.
Fuzzy borders
Authors: Raheja Natasha 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn the western Indian city of Jodhpur, computer typists provide migration brokerage services to Pakistani Hindu refugee‐migrants and Indian immigration officers. Such encounters and their interpretations contrast with the Indian state's emphasis on governmental proximity and immediate state‐subject relations. Though computer typists—who I am calling brokers—are essential mediators, their acts of mediation are underrecognized. Immigration officers’ strategies of mediation, such as intermittently acknowledging typists, implicate brokerage as both part of and distinct from the everyday bureaucratic workings of the state. I argue that through their acts of mediation, brokers are essential to bureaucratic work and have come to embody the fuzziness surrounding where the state begins and ends.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPurposeTo identify associations between systemic drugs and the incidence of diabetic macular oedema (DME). Of interest was to find beneficial and/or deleterious associations of used drugs.MethodsA historic cohort design based on administrative data. Study population consisted of 150 353 individuals with diabetes. Endpoint event was the development of DME (ICD‐10 H36.01), censoring events were death or study end December 2017. The follow‐up started between 1997 and 2010. The systemic medication consisted of 95 substances. We constructed a nested case–control study design comparing 2630 cases with DME to 13 144 age‐ and sex‐matched controls without DME. Results are reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) based on conditional logistic regression models.ResultsIncidence rate for DME was 1.80 per 1000 person‐years (95% CI 1.73–1.87). In all, we observed a lower incidence rate of DME in females (IRR 0.57; 95% CI 0.52–0.62) compared to males. Exposure to hormone replacement therapy estradiol (OR 0.42; 0.25–0.68), temazepam (0.23; 0.08–0.62) and allopurinol (0.61; 0.43–0.86) were associated with lower risk of DME, while use of insulin or insulin analogue (3.30; 2.99–3.64), sulfonylureas (1.21; 1.05–1.40), diuretic furosemide (1.90; 1.61–2.24), calcium channel blocker amlodipine (1.53; 1.34–1.75), ACE inhibitors ramipril (1.66; 1.46–1.89) and enalapril (1.38; 1.16–1.64) were associated with an increased risk of DME.ConclusionsLarge‐scale studies examining the incidence of DME are lacking. Our findings suggest that associations of systemic medications with the incidence of DME may shed light on the pathogenesis of complex DME, encouraging further studies.
Local or imported? The origin of the raw material used in manufacturing bricks from castles of the Teutonic knights in north‐central Poland and their significance to our understanding of medieval construction techniques

AbstractThis article presents the results of research on bricks from medieval castles in north‐central Poland. They were characterised based on petrographic analyses of thin section and mutually complementary instrumental methods. The bricks came from the oldest parts of the castles preserved to this day, or from castles not preserved but examined and excavated during archaeological research. The data obtained allowed for the identification of building materials that shared similar material and technical properties and that can be associated with different phases of the castles. Based on the results, it was found that the Pleistocene tills commonly found around the castles were not used in the manufacturing of the bricks. Small local deposits of fatty clays were used—Pleistocene varved clays or Miocene variegated clays. The buildings differed in the composition and texture of their bricks, indicating that the local clay raw material was extracted for each building separately. The share of raw material brought in from larger exposures further afield was small. Analyses of brick samples indicate the use of a fatty clay raw material that was improved by the addition of clastic material (quartz sand or a mixture of sand and quartz silt of various fractions).

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivesAs the threat of climate change continues to grow, bolstering individual‐level support for climate change initiatives is crucial. More research is needed to better understand how individual difference factors, such as climate change anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty (IU), may shape how people perceive climate change and respond to climate change messaging. To date, the majority of published studies have not taken these individual difference factors into consideration, and IU has been particularly neglected in the climate change literature. This study examined the independent effects of climate change anxiety and IU on three climate change‐related outcomes: climate‐related distress, support for climate change policies, and behavioural engagement.MethodsParticipants were Florida residents (N = 441) who completed an online survey, including measures of climate change anxiety and IU. Participants then watched a video describing climate change consequences and completed three outcome measures: post‐video distress, climate change policy support, and behavioural engagement.ResultsControlling for demographic covariates, both climate change anxiety (β = .43, p < .001) and IU (β = .27, p < .001) were associated with greater post‐video distress, but only IU independently predicted greater policy support (β = .10, p = .034) and behavioural engagement (β = .12, p = .017).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that IU may be an important factor in promoting pro‐environmental behaviour and policy support, but climate change anxiety may increase emotional distress without boosting meaningful behaviours or support. Our findings highlight the potential influence of cognitive factors on climate change engagement and suggest that invoking uncertainty rather than anxiety may be more effective in catalysing effective environmental engagement.

AbstractOral squamous cell carcinoma of the gingivo‐buccal region (OSCC‐GB) is the most common cancer among men in India, and is associated with poor prognosis and frequent recurrence. Cellular heterogeneity in OSCC‐GB was investigated by single‐cell RNA sequencing of tumors derived from the oral cavity of 12 OSCC‐GB patients, 3 of whom had concomitant presence of a precancerous lesion (oral submucous fibrosis [OSMF]). Unique malignant cell types, features, and phenotypic shifts in the stromal cell population were identified in oral tumors with associated submucous fibrosis. Expression levels of FOS, ATP1A, and DUSP1 provided robust discrimination between tumors with or without the concomitant presence of OSMF. Malignant cell populations shared between tumors with and without OSMF were enriched with the expression of partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (pEMT) or fetal cell type signatures indicative of two dominant cellular programs in OSCC‐GB—pEMT and fetal cellular reprogramming. Malignant cells exhibiting fetal cellular and pEMT programs were enriched with the expression of immune‐related pathway genes known to be involved in antitumor immune response. In the tumor microenvironment, higher infiltration of immune cells than the stromal cells was observed. The T cell population was large in tumors and diverse subtypes of T cells with varying levels of infiltration were found. We also detected double‐negative PLCG2+ T cells and cells with intermediate M1–M2 macrophage polarization. Our findings shed light on unique aspects of cellular heterogeneity and cell states in OSCC‐GB.
