The role of brand gratitude in consumer relationships with cool brands
Authors: Koskie Melanie Moore , Freling Ryan E. , Locander William B. , Freling Traci H. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore and extend the consumer–brand relationship literature by integrating the relatively new construct of brand coolness with a growing body of work on gratitude. Specifically, gratitude is explored alongside emotional brand attachment as an additional mechanism affecting the relationship between cool brands and the loyalty outcome of repurchase intention. Consumption context is examined as a boundary condition to the effect of gratitude.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from an online survey of a Qualtrics panel of 356 US consumers. A moderated mediation model is used to explain the effects of brand coolness on repurchase intention via emotional brand attachment and brand gratitude in the moderating presence of consumption context.

Findings
Brand coolness significantly increases repurchase intention. Furthermore, emotional brand attachment and brand gratitude are established as parallel mediators of the relationship between brand coolness and repurchase intention, with brand gratitude exhibiting a significantly stronger mediated effect. The impact of brand coolness on brand gratitude is moderated by social visibility, with publicly consumed cool brands stimulating greater brand gratitude than their privately consumed counterparts.

Originality/value
Brand gratitude is shown to influence repurchase intention independent of the impact exerted by consumers’ emotional brand attachment. Cognitive appraisal theory is used to distinguish brand gratitude from other mediators studied in consumer–brand relationships. Findings establish the moderating influence of the social visibility of the brand on the relationship between brand coolness and gratitude.
Baca Beverage Distributors: surviving the great attrition
Authors: Anderson Joe , Joshi Mahendra , Williams Susan K. 
Published: October 2023

Theoretical basis
This compact case provides a relatively large data set that students explore using visualization and a Tableau dynamic dashboard that they create. Students were asked to describe what the data set contained in relation to employee attrition experience of Baca Beverage Distributors (BBD). The application and managerial questions are set in human resources and a company that is facing high attrition during the pandemic.

Research methodology
BBD shared their data and problem scenario for this compact case. The protagonist, Morgan Matthews, was the authors’ contact and provided significant clarification and guidance about the data. Both the company and the protagonist have been disguised. Some of the job positions have been rephrased. All names of employees, supervisors and managers have been replaced with codes.

Case overview/synopsis
During the 2020–2022 pandemic years, BBD experienced, like many companies, a higher than usual employee turnover rate and Morgan Matthews, Director of People, was concerned. Not only was it time-consuming, expensive and disruptive but the company had prided itself on being a good place to work. Were they hiring the right people, people that fit the company culture and people that fit the positions for which they were hired? The company had been using the Predictive Index [1] when on-boarding employees. In addition, there were results from self-reviews and manager reviews that could be used. Morgan wondered if data visualization and visual analytics would be useful in describing their employees and whether it would reveal any opportunities to improve the turnover rate. Before seeking a solution for the high turnover, it was important to step back and learn what the data said about who was leaving and the reasons they gave for leaving.

Complexity academic level
This compact case can be used in courses that include visualization using Tableau and dashboards. As it is a compact case, it requires less preparation time from the students and less class time for discussion. The case is for students who have been recently introduced to business analytics, specifically visualization and data storytelling with Tableau. For this reason, significant guidance has been provided in the case assignment. The level of the case can be adjusted by the amount of guidance provided in the case assignment. Courses include introduction to business analytics, descriptive analytics and visualization, communication through data storytelling. The case can be used for all modalities – in person, hybrid, online. The authors use it here for visualization and dynamic dashboards but using the same data set and compact case description, exploratory data analysis could be assigned.

The impact of changing seasons on in-destination tourist behaviour
Authors: McKercher Bob , Prideaux Bruce , Thompson Michelle 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework that examines the impacts of changing seasons on tourism.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a conceptual process model of the impact of seasons on all aspects of in-destination tourist behaviour. The model is developed from the literature and is then tested using Cairns, Australia as a case study.

Findings
Seasons influence the actual and perceived range of products/experiences available, which dictate the pull features of a destination, that in turn, influence who comes and why they come. Combined the activity sets and visitor profile define in-destination behaviour and, ultimately, satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
The study fills a needed research gap in two ways. Firstly, it explains conceptually and then tests empirically how changes in seasons affect the delivery of tourism products and experiences. Secondly, it adds significantly to our understanding of the factors that influence in-destination behaviour.

Practical implications
Managerial implications for destination management organisations are identified.

Originality/value
This paper presents a new conceptual process model for a previously unexamined issue.
Semi‐blind‐trace algorithm for self‐supervised attenuation of trace‐wise coherent noise
Authors: Abedi Mohammad Mahdi , Pardo David , Alkhalifah Tariq 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTrace‐wise noise is a type of noise often seen in seismic data, which is characterized by vertical coherency and horizontal incoherency. Using self‐supervised deep learning to attenuate this type of noise, the conventional blind‐trace deep learning trains a network to blindly reconstruct each trace in the data from its surrounding traces; it attenuates isolated trace‐wise noise but causes signal leakage in clean and noisy traces and reconstruction errors next to each noisy trace. To reduce signal leakage and improve denoising, we propose a new loss function and masking procedure in a semi‐blind‐trace deep learning framework. Our hybrid loss function has weighted active zones that cover masked and non‐masked traces. Therefore, the network is not blinded to clean traces during their reconstruction. During training, we dynamically change the masks' characteristics. The goal is to train the network to learn the characteristics of the signal instead of noise. The proposed algorithm enables the designed U‐net to detect and attenuate trace‐wise noise without having prior information about the noise. A new hyperparameter of our method is the relative weight between the masked and non‐masked traces' contribution to the loss function. Numerical experiments show that selecting a small value for this parameter is enough to significantly decrease signal leakage. The proposed algorithm is tested on synthetic and real off‐shore and land data sets with different noises. The results show the superb ability of the method to attenuate trace‐wise noise while preserving other events. An implementation of the proposed algorithm as a Python code is also made available.
Ethnic inequalities in age‐related patterns of multiple long‐term conditions in England: Analysis of primary care and nationally representative survey data
Authors: Hayanga Brenda , Stafford Mai , Saunders Catherine L. , Bécares Laia 
Published: October 2023

AbstractLittle is known about the patterning of multiple long‐term conditions (MLTCs) by age, ethnicity and across conceptualisations of MLTCs (e.g. MLTCs with/without mental health conditions [MHCs]). We examined ethnic inequalities in age‐related patterns of MLTCs, and combinations of physical and MHCs using the English GP Patient Survey and Clinical Practice Research Datalink. We described the association between MLTCs and age using multilevel regression models adjusting for sex and area‐level deprivation with patients nested within GP practices. Similar analyses were repeated for MLTCs that include MHCs. We observed ethnic inequalities from middle‐age onwards such as older Pakistani, Indian, Black Caribbean and Other ethnic people had increased risk of MLTCs compared to white British people, even after adjusting for area‐level deprivation. Compared to white British people, Gypsy and Irish Travellers had higher levels of MLTCs across the age groups, and Chinese people had lower levels. Pakistani and Bangladeshi people aged 50–74 years were more likely than white people to report MLTCs that included MHCs. We find clear evidence of ethnic inequalities in MLTCs. The lower prevalence of MLTCs that include MHCs among some minoritised ethnic groups may be an underestimation due to underdiagnosis and/or inadequate primary care and requires further scrutiny.

AbstractBackground and AimsThere is currently no standard of care for pharmacological treatment of amphetamine‐type stimulant (ATS) use disorder (ATSUD). This systematic review with meta‐analysis (PROSPERO CRD42022354492) aimed to pool results from randomized placebo‐controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate efficacy and safety of prescription psychostimulants (PPs) for ATSUD.MethodsMajor indexing sources and trial registries were searched to include records published before 29 August 2022. Eligible studies were RCTs evaluating efficacy and safety of PPs for ATSUD. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool. Risk ratio (RR) and risk difference were calculated for random‐effect meta‐analysis of dichotomous variables. Mean difference and standardized mean difference (SMD) were calculated for random‐effect meta‐analysis of continuous variables.ResultsTen RCTs (n = 561 participants) were included in the meta‐analysis. Trials studied methylphenidate (n = 7), with daily doses of 54–180 mg, and dextroamphetamine (n = 3), with daily doses of 60–110 mg, for 2–24 weeks. PPs significantly decreased end‐point craving [SMD  −0.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.55, −0.03], while such a decrease did not reach statistical significance for ATS use, as evaluated by urine analysis (UA) (RR = 0.93; 95% CI = 0.85–1.01). No effect was observed for self‐reported ATS use, retention in treatment, dropout following adverse events, early‐stage craving, withdrawal and depressive symptoms. In a sensitivity analysis, treatment was associated with a significant reduction in UA positive for ATS (RR = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.79–0.99) after removing studies with a high risk of bias. In subgroup analyses, methylphenidate and high doses of PPs were negatively associated with ATS use by UA, while higher doses of PPs and treatment duration (≥ 20 weeks) were positively associated with longer retention.ConclusionsAmong individuals with amphetamine‐type stimulant use disorder, treatment with prescription psychostimulants may decrease ATS use and craving. While effect size is limited, it may increase with a higher dosage of medications.

AbstractOur previous studies showed that SYISL is a negative regulator of muscle growth and regeneration in mice, pigs and humans. SYISL knockout resulted in an increase in the density of muscle fibers and muscle growth. However, it is unclear whether there are natural mutations in pig SYNPO2 intron sense‐overlapping lncRNA (pSYISL) that affect the expression of pSYISL and muscle growth traits. In this study, three SNPs in exons and six SNPs within the promoter of pSYISL were identified. Association analysis showed that the two SNPs in exons are significantly associated with loin muscle area (p < 0.05); the six SNPs in the promoter that show complete linkage are significantly associated with live backfat thickness and live loin muscle area in American Large White pigs. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays as well as in vitro binding experiments indicated that the mutation of SNP rs702045770 (g.539G>A) leads to the loss of YY1 binding to the promoter, thus affecting the expression level of pSYISL, and we found that Jiangshan Black pigs with genotype GG have a higher expression level of pSYISL than genotype AA individuals, but the muscle fiber density was significantly lower than in genotype AA individuals. Furthermore, the association analysis showed that the carcass backfat thickness of genotype GG of SNP rs702045770 was significantly higher than that of other genotypes in (Pietrain × Duroc) × (Landrace × Yorkshire) crossbred pigs (p < 0.05). The glycolytic potential of genotype GG was significantly higher than that of other genotypes (p < 0.05). These results provide novel insight into the identification of functional SNPs in non‐coding genomic regions.
Mammalian cysteine‐rich secretory proteins interact with plasma membrane Ca2+ exporter PMCA4b

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundMammalian cysteine‐rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) are predominantly expressed in the male reproductive tract. Knockout mice lacking two or more CRISPs show defects in sperm transport, sperm–egg interaction and Ca2+ homeostasis. CRISPs play redundant and specific roles via their binding partners. To understand this, a comprehensive analysis of CRISP interactome needs to be undertaken.ObjectivesThis study aimed to analyse CRISP4 binding partners on the plasma membrane of rat caudal spermatozoa.Materials and methodsTotal proteins from rat caudal spermatozoa were subjected to immunoprecipitation using anti‐CRISP4 antibody followed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrophotometry analysis. Plasma membrane localised proteins were shortlisted, and a key target was validated by co‐immunoprecipitation and co‐localisation. Co‐transfection followed by co‐immunoprecipitation was carried out for studying the interaction of full‐length as well as deletion mutants of CRISPs with human plasma membrane calcium ATPase, isoform b (hPMCA4b). Calcium assays were performed using Fura‐2‐AM. The cholesterol binding ability of different CRISPs was evaluated in silico.ResultsThe membrane‐specific interactome of rat CRISP4 (rCRISP4) from caudal spermatozoa revealed PMCA4b as a novel binding partner, and their interaction was validated in rat spermatozoa. Human CRISP1 (hCRISP1) and hCRISP3 also interacted with PMCA4b via the N‐terminal domain. Interestingly, hCRISP1 and rCRISP4 delayed PMCA4b‐mediated calcium extrusion but hCRISP3 did not. In silico analysis demonstrated that hCRISP1 and rCRISP4 have higher binding affinity towards cholesterol than hCRISP3. The secretion profile of different CRISPs also showed that the ratio of secreted to cell‐associated proteins was highest for hCRISP3.ConclusionOur study identifies PMCA4b as a target of multiple mammalian CRISPs and unravels a new role of CRISPs in regulating calcium homeostasis. Differences in the interaction of different CRISPs with cholesterol may regulate their enrichment in the lipid rafts and redistribution in the membrane post‐capacitation, thereby affecting their interaction with PMCA4b.
Letting the mantle out of the bag

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare disease that attracts the curiosity of clinicians and scientists due to its heterogeneous clinical behaviour, that can vary from indolent forms to the most aggressive presentations among non‐Hodgkin lymphomas. The report by Eyre and colleagues describes the current treatment strategies available in most countries, and offers insights to clinicians for several intriguing difficult‐to‐treat scenarios.Commentary on: Eyre et al.

Efficacy of technology‐based parenting programmes in reducing behaviour problems: An analysis of systematic reviews and meta‐analyses
Authors: Valero María , Quesada Victoria , Oliver Josep Lluís , Amer Joan 
Published: October 2023

AbstractRecently, especially after the 2020 COVID‐19 pandemic, the shift towards technology‐based non‐face‐to‐face family prevention programmes to deal with problem behaviours has increased. Different systematic reviews and meta‐analyses have explored the results of the virtual versions of the programmes. However, a global summary or systematized overview of the main conclusions and implications of the different reviews is needed to establish the scientific contributions of the new formats and to help the providers of the online programmes to know the components that work and to what extent. A lack of systematized information on the different delivery modes has also been detected. This study addresses these issues by systematically analysing existing reviews and meta‐analyses, examining the reported outcomes and, when available, results related to delivery conditions and adherence variables. The analysis results suggest a reduction in children's problem behaviours and a consensus on the necessity of reporting on the parental stress variable. In conclusion, it highlights the need for more information on delivery conditions, given the structural change in how these programmes or interventions are provided, together with data on adherence and family variables (family relationships and interactions such as family communication and family resilience).

Published: October 2023

AbstractAimRectal cancer is often treated surgically with an anterior resection (AR) or abdominoperineal excision (APE). However, for patients with locally advanced disease or local recurrence total pelvic exenteration (TPE) surgery can be performed. The magnitude of surgery varies, and little research has been done to consider how quality of life (QoL) may vary according to the extent of surgery.MethodA search was conducted on MEDLINE and PubMed for papers published from 2010 to 2021. Inclusion criteria consisted of observational studies comparing adult populations with rectal cancer undergoing APE, AR or TPE, reporting QoL using validated tools. Risk of bias was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non‐Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS‐I) tool. Outcomes of interest were global QoL, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation) and pain.ResultsSeven studies including 1402 patients were analysed. QoL following TPE generally improves over time, back to baseline or better. AR and APE groups have similar patterns of improvement between baseline and 12 months after surgery, although scores declined in some studies at 12 months. TPE scores are lower overall, and the pattern of improvement differs, with patients tending to have worse nausea and vomiting symptoms. AR and APE patients tend to experience more lower GI symptoms.ConclusionIt is not possible to draw firm conclusions based on the studies analysed. However, QoL returns to baseline following TPE, APE and AR. Preoperative QoL appears to be an indication of postoperative outcomes. Further observational studies are required.

AbstractAimTrophic rewilding is proposed as an approach to tackle biodiversity loss by restoring ecosystem dynamics through the reintroduction of keystone species. Currently, evidence on the ecological consequences of reintroduction programmes is sparse and difficult to generalize. To better understand the ecological consequences of trophic rewilding, we simulated the extinction and reintroduction of large‐bodied mammals under different environmental conditions.LocationEurope.MethodsWe selected four locations varying in productivity and seasonality in Europe and used a general ecosystem model called Madingley to run simulations. We initialized the model using body mass limits of a European Holocene baseline; we then removed large mammals and let the model converge to a new equilibrium. Next, we reintroduced the previously removed groups to assess whether the equilibrium would shift back to the initial condition. We tested three different reintroduction scenarios, in order to disentangle the importance of the different large mammal groups.ResultsThe removal of large‐bodied mammals led to cascading effects, mainly resulting in increases in smaller‐bodied herbivores and the release of mesopredators. Post‐reintroduction, the system's new equilibrium state was closer to the initial equilibrium for stable and productive locations compared to highly seasonal and low‐productive locations. The maximum trait space volume of the initial state and the post‐reintroduction state varied by 9.1% on average over all locations, with an average decrease in trait combinations of 6.6%. The body mass distribution differed by 28%, comparing the initial state to the post‐reintroduction state.Main ConclusionsOur simulation results suggest that reintroducing locally extinct large‐bodied mammals can broadly restore shifts in ecosystem structure, roughly resembling the baseline ecosystem conditions. However, the extent to which the ecosystem's state resembles the original ecosystem is largely dependent on the reintroduction strategy (only herbivores and omnivores vs. also carnivores) and timing, as well as local environmental conditions.
