Experiencing the cycles of love in teaching: the praxis of an early career Asian American ELA teacher
Authors: Rushek Kelli A. , Vlach Saba Khan , Phan Tiphany 
Published: November 2023

PurposeEarly career teachers (ECTs) of Color are key in making change, resisting racism and pushing back against white supremacy in K-12 education, specifically in English Language Arts (ELA) classrooms. Through a narrative telling inquiry (Clandinin and Connelly, 2000) of Nora, an Asian American ELA ECT in the Midwest, and by drawing on Fisher’s (2011) Critical Integral Pedagogy of Fearlessness, this study aims to recognize the narrative power within teaching praxis as Nora stories herself toward becoming a critical pedagogue.Design/methodology/approachUsing narrative inquiry methodology and methods (Clandinin and Connelly, 2000), the authors simultaneously considered the commonplace tenets of narrative inquiry – temporality, sociality and place – of the intertwined relationships of the participants and observers. The field texts included in the corpus of data include myriad tellings of Nora’s experiences in her initial years of teaching ELA. Data were analyzed in stages of parsing out narrative blocks and structures.FindingsThe findings indicate that Nora, as an ECT, went through recursive cycles of fear as conceptualized by Fisher (2011) – bravery, courageousness and being fear-less – of working toward radical love (Hooks, 2000) within her ELA instruction. The authors argue that Nora confronted her personal and professional fears as she strove to become a critical pedagogue in her ELA classroom.Originality/valueCurrent scholarship portrays ECTs as lacking agency in their development and/or effectiveness in the classroom and little is said about Asian American ELA ECTs and critical instruction. The authors present Nora’s counter-narrative to make visible what is right with ELA ECTs, specifically teachers of Color, as they transform their fear into courage to fight for educational equity.

Authors: Diallo Mbaye Fall , Lambey Christine , Hasanzade Vuesal , Osburg Victoria-Sophie 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThe aim of this research is to investigate the positive effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on loyalty to retailers through trust dimensions (competence, benevolence and integrity) taking into account socio-cultural factors (social norms and collectivism) across nations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors carried out three quantitative studies (N = 948) in three countries (France, Germany and the United Kingdom [UK]). They then used structural equation modelling to test the model and hypotheses.FindingsThe results show contingent positive effects of CSR perception on customer loyalty. They underscore indirect effects of CSR on loyalty through the mediation of specific dimensions of trust (competence, benevolence and integrity). The authors also identify significant moderations such that the effects of social norms on CSR and loyalty are stronger in France/Germany than in the UK. The effects of collectivism on CSR and loyalty are stronger in France than in Germany and the UK.Practical implicationsRetailers can rely on CSR and trust to increase loyalty directly. When communicating CSR activities, retailers have to account for cultural differences in their main markets and adopt adjusted strategies to convince consumers about their CSR efforts. Retailers should understand the social norms of their customers in order to determine the effectiveness of disclosing CSR initiatives.Originality/valueUsing a cross-cultural perspective, this article extends and enriches knowledge on the relationship between CSR, social norms and loyalty in retailing in different cultural settings. It also underscores the role of trust in building loyalty across nations.

Published: November 2023

PurposeThis study aims to identify various factors that have driven the knowledge transfer process for succession purposes in family business since the 1920s and discuss their implications for advancing effective succession planning in this business sector for the next 100 years.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews and synthesizes current research on knowledge transfer drivers in family business from 1923 to 2023 and draws out future perspectives on what will influence the knowledge-transferring process in the next 100 years.FindingsTrust, organizational culture and environmental factors such as the need to create competitive advantages, technological advancement and new sources of knowledge have been identified as the most prominent drivers of knowledge transfer for effective succession in family business throughout the 1920–2020s. In the future, the ability to create value, the internationalization process and business innovations will play an essential role in knowledge-sharing among family and non-family members during succession.Originality/valueThe paper provides a review of past development and a future perspective on factors enhancing the effectiveness of knowledge transfer for succession in family firms.
Digitisation and automation in training and development: a meta-review of new opportunities and challenges
Authors: Wesche Jenny Sarah , Handke Lisa 
Published: November 2023

PurposeTo remain competitive, efficient and productive, organisations need to ensure that their employees continuously learn and develop. This is even more challenging and critical in times characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). Hence, several technological applications have been introduced with the promise to make organisational training and development (T&D) more efficient and targeted through digitisation and automation. However, digitising and automating processes in the sensitive field of T&D also poses challenges and perils for employees and organisations as a whole.Design/methodology/approachStructured by the T&D process of (1) assessment/planning, (2) design/implementation and (3) evaluation, the authors present different digitisation and automation possibilities and discuss the specific opportunities and challenges they pose. Subsequently, the authors identify and discuss overarching themes of opportunities and challenges of technology use in T&D via a meta-review.FindingsThis synthesis revealed three central topics that decision-makers in T&D should carefully consider when it comes to the implementation of technological applications: opportunities and challenges of (1) data collection, (2) decision-making and (3) the value of human contact.Originality/valueThis review integrates previously fragmented research on specific technologies applied to specific T&D functions and provides researchers and practitioners with a fuller picture of the opportunities and challenges of technology applied in T&D.

Abstract

Terrestrial ecosystems are shaped by interacting top‐down and bottom‐up processes, with the magnitude of top‐down control by large carnivores largely depending on environmental productivity. While carnivore‐induced numerical effects on ungulate prey populations have been demonstrated in large, relatively undisturbed ecosystems, whether large carnivores can play a similar role in more human‐dominated systems is a clear knowledge gap. As humans influence both predator and prey in a variety of ways, the ecological impacts of large carnivores can be largely modified. We quantified the interactive effects of human activities and large carnivore presence on red deer (Cervus elaphus) population density and how their impacts interacted and varied with environmental productivity.

Data on red deer density were collected based on a literature survey encompassing 492 study sites across 28 European countries. Variation in density across study sites was analysed using a generalized additive model in which productivity, carnivore presence (grey wolf, European lynx, Brown bear), human activities (hunting, intensity of human land‐use activity), site protection status and climatic variables served as predictors.

The results showed that a reduction in deer density only occurred when wolf, lynx and bear co‐occurred within the same site. In the absence of large carnivores, red deer density varied along a productivity gradient without a clear pattern. Although a linear relationship with productivity in the presence of all three large carnivore species was found, this was not statistically significant. Moreover, hunting by humans had a stronger effect than the presence of all large carnivores in reducing red deer density and red deer density increased with increasing intensity of human land use, with stronger large carnivore effects (all three carnivore species present) at sites with low human land‐use activities.

Synthesis and applications. This study provides evidence for the dominant role played by humans (i.e. hunting, land‐use activities) relative to large carnivores in reducing red deer density across European human‐dominated landscapes. These findings suggest that when we would like large carnivores to exert numeric effects, we should focus on minimizing human impacts to allow the ecological impacts of large carnivores on ecosystem functioning.
Testing Inferences about Language Contact on Morphosyntax: A Typological Case Study on Alorese–Adang Contact
Authors: Sinnemäki Kaius , Ahola Noora 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWhen linguists make inferences about language contact, control data is required for reliable analysis. Historical data or reconstructions are typically used for that purpose. However, historical data is globally mostly unavailable, and reconstructions are laborious if comparing outcomes of language contact in a typological way. We assess a recent typological proposal (Di Garbo & Napoleão de Souza 2023) that argues that using a single language, called Benchmark language, can serve as a viable control for making inferences about contact. To evaluate this approach, we use as a case study a documented contact situation in Eastern Indonesia between the Austronesian language Alorese and the Papuan language Adang. We sample languages related to Alorese and use computational phylogenetic methods for ancestral reconstruction to analyse if using a single Benchmark produces deviating inferences about contact compared to using Bayesian ancestral reconstructions. Additionally, we test for isolation by distance effects by analysing if the probability of contact effects correlates with increasing geographic distance from the contact region. The results suggest that no isolation by distance effects exist in the data and that none of the single Benchmarks significantly deviate from the ancestral reconstructions.

Published: November 2023

AbstractPower ultrasound and salt reduction effects on meat emulsions' physicochemical and rheological properties were determined. Therefore, meat emulsions with different NaCl concentrations (1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5%) were treated in an ultrasonic bath (40 kHz, 200 W, & 9.34 W/cm2) at different times (0, 15, and 45 min). Results showed that salt reduction and ultrasound time significantly (p < 0.05) affected the cooking loss, water holding capacity, water activity, pH, color, hardness, viscosity, storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″), and phase angle δ. Meat emulsions with low salt content (1 and 1.5% NaCl) showed significantly higher values of cooking loss than standard emulsions (2.5% NaCl), while ultrasound duration of 15 min reduced the cooking loss (12 to 27%). Hardness, color, pH, and water activity (aw) decreased with salt reduction. Ultrasounds increased the hardness, viscosity, G′, and G′′ values in reduced‐salt meat. The experimental data of apparent viscosity were properly fitted to the mathematical model of Ostwald‐de‐Waele. Ultrasound increased consistency (k) and decreased flow behavior index (n) in emulsions with 1.5 to 2.5% NaCl. Ultrasound at 15 min induced gelation in emulsions with 1.5 and 2.0% NaCl (40 and 20% NaCl reduction). The formulation with 2.0% NaCl was found to be the maximum concentration that did not sacrifice meat emulsion quality. When combined with 15 min of ultrasound, this formulation yielded results comparable to the standard formulation.Practical ApplicationResults contribute to developing reduced‐salt meat emulsions using power ultrasounds. Therefore, using ultrasounds allows for a 20% reduction in salt content while maintaining the quality of the meat emulsion.
A new strategy to calculate the intraocular lens power in congenital cataracts according to age and axial length at implantation
Authors: Dupessey Florence , Dalmas Florian , Aziz Aurore , Denis Danièle , Beylerian Marie 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of the study was to suggest a new method to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power in paediatric cataracts targeting emmetropia at the age of 15 years.MethodsData of children younger than 15 years who underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation between 2005 and 2020 in the ophthalmological department of Marseille (South of France) was collected retrospectively. A logarithmic regression model was used to predict the axial length growth of the included eyes between implantation and 15 years. The predicted myopic shift served as target refraction to calculate a theoretical IOL power aiming for emmetropia at 15 years. Refractive error with the theoretical lens power was estimated as the spherical equivalent at the last follow‐up minus the difference of target refractions between the implanted IOL and the theoretical one. Refractive errors using Dahan, Enyedi and Trivedi guidelines were also estimated and compared to the logarithmic model.ResultsThirty‐five eyes of 26 children were analysed. At the last follow‐up, the median age of children was 10 years old and the median spherical equivalent was −1.88 dioptres (D) (IQR −3.81, −0.75). The estimated median refractive errors were 0.18 D (IQR −1.11, 1.42) with the logarithmic formula, −1.47 D (IQR −3.84, −0.65) with Dahan formula, −0.63 D (IQR −2.15, 0.32) with Enyedi formula and 0.38 D (IQR −1.58, 1.07) with Trivedi formula.ConclusionThe estimated refractive error with the new logarithmic formula is the closest to emmetropia at the last follow‐up.
Prestimulus alpha power signals attention to retrieval
Authors: Pastötter Bernhard , Frings Christian 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe human brain is in distinct processing modes at different times. Specifically, a distinction can be made between encoding and retrieval modes, which refer to the brain's state when it is storing new information or searching for old information, respectively. Recent research proposed the idea of a “ready‐to‐encode” mode, which describes a prestimulus effect in brain activity that signals (external) attention to encoding and predicts subsequent memory performance. Whether there is also a corresponding “ready‐to‐retrieve” mode in human brain activity is currently unclear. In this study, we examined whether prestimulus oscillations can be linked to (internal) attention to retrieval. We show that task cues to prepare for retrieval (or testing) in comparison with restudy of previously studied vocabulary word pairs led to a significant decrease of prestimulus alpha power just before the onset of word stimuli. Beamformer analysis localized this effect in the right secondary visual cortex (Brodmann area 18). Correlation analysis showed that the task cue‐induced, prestimulus alpha power effect is positively related to stimulus‐induced alpha/beta power, which in turn predicted participants' memory performance. The results are consistent with the idea that prestimulus alpha power signals internal attention to retrieval, which promotes the elaborative processing of episodic memories. Future research on brain‐computer interfaces may find the findings interesting regarding the potential of using online measures of fluctuating alpha oscillations to trigger the presentation and sequencing of restudy and testing trials, ultimately enhancing instructional learning strategies.
Buy the dip?

Published: November 2023

AbstractWe study the fundamental properties of the “Buy the dip” (BTD) investment heuristic. Looking into cash holdings versus a stock market exchange‐traded fund, we find that BTD does not necessarily maximize investors' real terminal wealth and is sensitive to market conditions at the beginning year of investment. While under certain conditions, BTD may improve risk‐adjusted performance over a passive investment policy or a classical dollar‐cost averaging approach, its optimality is subject to estimation risk. Given the vast popularity of BTD, our results have important implications for asset managers and retail investors alike.
Food security and multicommodity agricultural international trade: Quantifying optimal consumer subsidies for nutritional needs
Authors: Nagurney Anna 
Published: November 2023

AbstractHundreds of millions of people are now facing food insecurity as challenges from climate change, the aftereffects of the COVID‐19 pandemic, and strife and conflicts make availability of food at reasonable prices challenging. International trade has enabled the reallocation of agricultural products, essential for nutrition, from countries with supply markets to other points of demand and has been the subject of an increasing number of policy interventions by governments. In this paper, a multicommodity international trade network equilibrium model is constructed with the inclusion of nutritional minimal standards to support food security, accompanied by consumer subsidies, for which explicit formulae are provided. The theoretical and computational framework is based on variational inequalities. Numerical examples focusing on Ukraine and MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) countries and a staple commodity of wheat demonstrate the modeling and policy framework.

AbstractBackgroundWhile patients with dementia entering the hospital have worse outcomes than those without dementia, early detection of dementia in the inpatient setting is less than 50%. We developed and assessed the positive predictive value (PPV) and feasibility of a novel electronic health record (EHR) banner to identify patients with dementia who present to the inpatient setting using data from the medical record.MethodsWe developed and implemented an EHR algorithm to flag hospitalized patients age ≥65 years with potential cognitive impairment in the Epic EHR system using dementia ICD‐10 codes, FDA‐approved medications, and the use of the term “dementia” in the emergency department physician note. Medical records were reviewed for all patients who were flagged with an EHR banner from October 2022 to May 2023.ResultsA total of 344 individuals were identified who had a banner on their chart of which 280 (81.4%) were either diagnosed with dementia or were on an FDA‐approved dementia medication. Forty‐three individuals who had confirmed dementia were identified by a medication only (15.4%). Of the patients without confirmed dementia, the majority (N = 33, 9.6%) had a diagnosis of altered mental status, cognitive dysfunction, or mild cognitive impairment. Only 31 individuals (9.0%) had no indication of dementia or cognitive decline in their problem list, past medical history, or medication list.ConclusionsWe found that it was feasible to implement an EHR algorithm for prospective dementia identification with a high PPV. These types of algorithms provide an opportunity to accurately identify hospitalized older individuals for inclusion in quality improvement projects, clinical trials, pay‐for‐performance programs, and other initiatives.

AbstractAimReduced responses to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) after radical trachelectomy (RT) have been previously reported. We aimed to assess the effect of RT on ovarian reserve by measuring anti‐Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels before and after the procedure in this prospective study.MethodsWe included 12 patients who underwent RT between September 2019 and December 2021 in this study. Serum AMH levels were measured preoperatively, 1 month postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively. Differences in the AMH levels were assessed using a paired t‐test.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 30.6 years, and the median follow‐up time was 30.1 months. AMH levels at 1 and 6 months postoperatively did not show a consistent trend. At 1 month postoperatively, the average AMH level decreased insignificantly but returned to preoperative levels at 6 months. The differences in AMH levels before and after RT were insignificant.ConclusionOur findings indicate that RT did not affect ovarian reserve as measured by AMH levels. However, the relationship between unchanged ovarian reserve and reduced response to COS remains unclear. Further research with larger sample sizes and additional measures of ovarian function is needed to corroborate these results and investigate the long‐term effects of RT on ovarian reserve. Understanding these mechanisms will help guide surgical practices and provide patients with valuable information about their reproductive outcomes after RT.
