Authors: Lambert Cheryl Ann , Ewing Michele E. , Hassan Toqa 
Published: February 2024

PurposeFake news stories have become a central element of crises that corporate public relations practitioners have confronted. Whether such stories are rumors, outright lies or deliberate attempts to discredit corporations, they have the same impact and require specific strategies for public relations practitioners to effectively respond. The purpose of this study is to uncover strategies to manage crises that arise from fake news and if and how these strategies differ for other corporate crises.Design/methodology/approachIn this multi-method study of 21 in-depth interviews and a 8-person focus group with senior-level corporate public relations practitioners, authors explored decision-making strategies for responding to fake news crises. Transcripts of interviews and the focus group were thematically analyzed.FindingsResults reveal insights regarding how public relations practitioners determine if and when to respond to fake news crises in corporations; what response strategies public relations practitioners have the autonomy to employ for fake news crises in corporations, and how public relations practitioners control media narratives during fake news crises in corporations.Practical implicationsThe findings guide public relations practitioners to craft an autonomous decision-making process and effective online listening strategies—establishing a watchful waiting approach—and determine if the fake news issue is a passing moment or movement swirling into a crisis.Originality/valueFew studies have examined the perspectives of crisis communication experts about minimizing and managing fake news crises. The study identifies opportunities for future research focused on crises originating from fake news and disinformation.

Retail operations strategy for improved customer experience: a better response to crises such as COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: C.V. Sunil Kumar 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
Discount grocery stores (DGSs) are attractive food supply chain (FSC) channels because many cost-conscious Indians use them for monthly needs. Despite capacity, DGSs must address customer concerns about store crowd densities and improve their COVID-19 preparedness. The purpose of this study is to learn how retail operations strategies can improve customer experience and how stores can benefit.

Design/methodology/approach
The study looked at a case study where retail operations are run more efficiently, and the customer experience is enhanced by standardizing and customizing customer transactions. The potential benefits that customers and retailers might anticipate are then statistically verified. Next, the potential benefits were examined to determine which ones from customers’ and retailers’ views should be prioritized to increase satisfaction.

Findings
The case situation analysis in the study demonstrates how DGSs can improve their retail operations to reduce customer wait times and provide greater convenience. The study also provides practitioners with potential benefits to pursue from the perspectives of retailers, customers and both retailers and customers.

Research limitations/implications
This study requires many past transactions and can be considered an extension of the current study, so it does not capture floor space and capacity improvements.

Practical implications
This research can help FSC retailers compete with upstream supply chain partners and customers in omnichannel retailing. By improving DGS retailer capacity and customer experience, this study can benefit all FSC stakeholders.

Originality/value
Although there are numerous potential benefits that practitioners can pursue, the current study suggests that practitioners focus on those that can improve retailer and customer satisfaction.
Illegal rural enterprise – developing a framework to help identify and investigate shadow infrastructures and illicit criminal networks
Authors: Smith Robert , McElwee Gerard 
Published: February 2024

Purpose This study builds on the extant research of the authors on illegal rural enterprise (IRE). However, instead of taking a single or micro case approach within specific sections of the farming and food industries we examine the concept holistically from a macro case perspective. Many IRE crimes simply could not be committed without insider knowledge and complicity, making it essential to appreciate this when researching or investigating such crimes.Design/methodology/approach Using data from published studies, we introduce the theoretical concept of “Shadow infrastructure” to analyse and explain the prevalence and endurance of such criminal enterprises. Using a multiple case approach, we examine data across the cases to provide an analysis of several industry wide crimes—the illicit halal meat trade; the theft of sheep; the theft of tractors and plant; and the supply of illicit veterinary medicines.Findings We examine IRE crimes across various sectors to identify commonalities in practice and in relation to business models drawing from a multidisciplinary literature spanning business and criminology. Such enterprises can be are inter-linked. We also provide suggestions on investigating such structures.Practical implications We identify academic and practical implications in relation to the investigation of IRE crime and from an academic perspective in relation to researching the phenomenon.Originality/value This study combines data from numerous individual studies from a macro perspective to provide practical solutions to a multifaceted problem.
Research on intelligent identification algorithm of coal and rock strata based on Hilbert transform and amplitude stacking
Authors: Zhu Pengqiao , Xu Xianlei , Peng Suping , Ma Zheng 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe high precision identification of coal–rock layers is a significant challenge in intelligent mining. There is a large amount of electromagnetic noise and metal reflector signals in the full space detection environment of mining roadway, which makes it hard to distinguish the reflected waves at interface from a set of echo signals generated by the interface due to the similar amplitudes among them. So the method of identifying layers solely based on amplitude characteristics has poor stability and accuracy in coal mining environments. This paper proposes a method for identifying coal–rock layers based on Hilbert transform and tracking–scanning–stacking technology. There are two steps to achieve the recognition of air–coal–rock interfaces. First, by analysing the instantaneous amplitude spectrum obtained from the Hilbert transform, the first extreme point that is always the maximum value within a wavelength range is determined as the rough position of the air–coal interface. To solve the problem of recognition errors caused by noise and energy dispersion, the density difference method is used to remove discrete points. Second, the precise position of the air–coal interface is determined by tracking the extreme points within the 1.5 wavelength range around the rough position, and using the amplitude stacking method to quantitatively analyse and compare the degree of energy concentration. The data between zero time and the reflected waves at the air–coal interface is removed to avoid the impact of them on the recognition of the coal–rock interface. Results of physical model experiments and actual coal mine experiments show that this method yields better results and has high stability compared to conventional recognition method. Moreover, the average relative thickness errors are 4.5% for air layer and 4.2% for coal layer.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a major risk factor for osteoporosis/osteoporotic fractures. We aimed to elucidate the role of treatment choices among osteoporosis/osteoporotic fractures.MethodologyWe utilized the Chang‐Gung Research Database to assess the risks of osteoporosis/osteoporotic fractures among independently treated RA patients, using retrospective time‐to‐event outcomes analysis.ResultsA total of 3509 RA patients with a mean of 63.1 ± 8.6 years were analyzed. Among all, 1300 RA patients (37%) were diagnosed with newly diagnosed osteoporosis. The crude incidence of newly diagnosed osteoporosis was the highest among those treated with other conventional disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs; 74.1 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 66.0–82.3), followed by those with a non‐treatment period (68 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 63.1–72.9), methotrxate (MTX) monotherapy (60.7 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 41.2–80.3), MTX plus other cDMARDs (51.9 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 43.4–60.3), and abatacept/rituximab (48.6 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 14.9–82.3). The lowest crude incidence was found in patients treated with anti‐TNFi biologics (40.4 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 28.6–52.2) and other biologic disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs; 40.1 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 8.0–72.1). A total of 270 patients (20.8%) suffered from an incident fracture during follow‐ups. The crude incidence of fracture was the highest among those treated with abatacept/rituximab (49.0 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 6.0–91.9), followed by those with non‐treatment periods (24.3 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 19.3–29.4), other cDMARDs (24.2 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 18.1–30.2), anti‐TNFi biologics (20.2 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 8.8–31.6). Other bDMARDs (13.3 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 0–39.2), MTX mono (12.5 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 0.3–24.8), and MTX plus other cDMARDs (11.4 events/1000‐PYs, 95%CI 5.4–17.4) were low incidences.ConclusionThe treatment option has emerged as a critical determinant in the context of future osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture risks among RA. These findings offer a valuable resource for clinicians, empowering them to tailor bespoke treatment strategies for RA patients, thereby mitigating the potential for future osteoporosis and fractures.
Neural response to threat and reward among young adults at risk for alcohol use disorder

Published: February 2024

AbstractAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is heritable. Thus, young adults with positive family histories represent an at‐risk group relative to those without a family history, and if studied at a time when both groups have similar levels of alcohol use, it provides an opportunity to identify neural processing patterns associated with risk for AUD. Previous studies have shown that diminished response to potential reward is associated with genetic risk for AUD, but it is unclear how threat may modulate this response. We used a modified Monetary Incentive Delay task during fMRI to examine neural correlates of the interaction between threat and reward anticipation in a sample of young adults with (n = 31) and without (n = 44) family histories of harmful alcohol use. We found an interaction (p = 0.048) between cue and group in the right nucleus accumbens where the family history positive group showed less differentiation to the anticipation of gaining $5 and losing $5 relative to gaining $0. The family history‐positive group also reported less excitement for trials to gain $5 relative to gaining $0 (p < 0.001). Family history‐positive individuals showed less activation in the left insula during both safe and threat blocks compared to family history‐negative individuals (p = 0.005), but the groups did not differ as a function of threat (p > 0.70). Young adults with, relative to without, enriched risk for AUD may have diminished reward processing via both neural and behavioural markers to potential rewarding and negative consequences. Neural response to threat may not be a contributing factor to risk at this stage.
The impact of suppressing puberty on neuropsychological function: A review
Authors: Baxendale Sallie 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAimConcerns have been raised regarding the impact of medications that interrupt puberty, given the magnitude and complexity of changes that occur in brain function and structure during this sensitive window of neurodevelopment. This review examines the literature on the impact of pubertal suppression on cognitive and behavioural function in animals and humans.MethodsAll studies reporting cognitive impacts of treatment with GnRH agonists/antagonists for pubertal suppression in animals or humans were sought via a systematic search strategy across the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases.ResultsSixteen studies were identified. In mammals, the neuropsychological impacts of puberty blockers are complex and often sex specific (n = 11 studies). There is no evidence that cognitive effects are fully reversible following discontinuation of treatment. No human studies have systematically explored the impact of these treatments on neuropsychological function with an adequate baseline and follow‐up. There is some evidence of a detrimental impact of pubertal suppression on IQ in children.ConclusionCritical questions remain unanswered regarding the nature, extent and permanence of any arrested development of cognitive function associated with puberty blockers. The impact of puberal suppression on measures of neuropsychological function is an urgent research priority.

AbstractA few scattered vessels, typologically attributed to the Gáta–Wieselburg culture, are known from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy. This culture spread during the Early Bronze Age (Reinecke Br A1b and A2, 2100–1700/1600 bc) in present‐day eastern Austria, western Hungary and southwestern Slovakia. Rare ceramic artefacts, typically biconical double‐handled jugs with well‐burnished surfaces, have been discovered in caves of the Trieste Karst (Ciclami, Tartaruga, Teresiana and Ossa) and the Natisone Valley (Velika jama). This study aims to outline the technology, provenance and probable use of these rare jugs from the Trieste Karst. Two of these vessels from the Ciclami and Tartaruga caves have been investigated using various destructive and non‐destructive techniques, including optical microscopy, X‐ray computed microtomography and prompt‐gamma activation analysis, and chemically compared to contemporaneous vessels from the core region of the Gáta–Wieselburg culture in Hungary (10 vessels specifically analysed for this project) and earlier Neolithic and Copper Age vessels, likely produced locally in the Karst, Slovenia and Hungary. Based on the obtained results, the investigated Karst vessels were imported. Tentative identification of plant and animal lipids using organic residue analysis (i.e., gas chromatography–mass spectrometry) sheds light on their possible function.
The first case of a point pathogenic variant in the RREB1 gene in Noonan‐like Rasopathy

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe RREB1 is a zinc finger transcription factor that plays a role in regulating gene expression and inactivating MAPK signalling components. To date, no pathogenic variant in the RREB1 gene has been associated with any disease, but several cases of 6p terminal deletions affecting the RREB1 gene have been reported. In this study, we report the first case of RREB1‐associated Noonan‐like RASopathy caused by a pathogenic variant within this gene. Genetic testing included whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) of the proband and Sanger sequencing of the proband, his parents, and his sibling. The proband had a de novo c.2677del, p.(Ala893Argfs*20) variant, likely resulting in RREB1 haploinsufficiency. Comparative analysis of patients with microdeletions, including in the RREB1 gene, confirmed shared clinical traits while highlighting unique features, such as blue sclerae and absence of cardiac anomalies. This study reinforces previous data on RREB1 haploinsufficiency as the driver of a new Noonan‐like RASopathy variant, which includes intellectual disability, delayed motor skills, short stature, short neck, and distinctive facial dysmorphisms as key clinical indicators. These findings shed light on this RREB1‐related syndrome and underscore the necessity for further investigation into the functional consequences of RREB1 mutations.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAimsThis systematic review and meta‐regression aimed to examine available literature reporting measures of physical function, anxiety, and/or depression and whether any relationships exist between these measures in individuals with Parkinson's disease.MethodsMEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, and APA PsychInfo databases were systematically searched. Screening, quality assessment, and data extraction were completed alongside meta‐regression analysis.ResultsOf 1175 studies retrieved, 40 were selected for analysis with only one study assessing the relationship between physical and psychological outcomes within their cohort. A total of 27 studies were also eligible for meta‐regression analysis—a total sample of 1211 participants. Meta‐regressions of five combinations of paired physical and psychological outcomes showed a significant moderating effect of symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory) on mobility (Timed‐Up‐and‐Go test; coefficient = 0.37, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.65, p = 0.012) and balance (Berg Balance Score) scores (coefficient = −1.25, 95% CI −1.77 to −0.73, p < 0.001).ConclusionAlthough physical and psychological outcomes of interest were used in all included studies, only one examined their relationship. Our analysis suggests that symptoms of depression may influence measures of mobility and balance. Specifically, as the severity of symptoms of depression increases, performance on measures of mobility and balance worsens.
Mitochondria in depression: The dysfunction of mitochondrial energy metabolism and quality control systems
Authors: Jiang Mengruo , Wang Liyuan , Sheng Hui 
Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundDepression is the most disabling neuropsychiatric disorder, causing difficulties in daily life activities and social interactions. The exact mechanisms of depression remain largely unclear. However, some studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction would play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of depression.AimsTo summarize the known knowledge about the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of depression.MethodsWe review the recent literature， including 105 articles, to summarize the mitochondrial energy metabolism and quality control systems in the occurrence and development of depression. Some antidepressants which may exert their effects by improving mitochondrial function are also discussed.ResultsImpaired brain energy metabolism and (or) damaged mitochondrial quality control systems have been reported not only in depression patients but in animal models of depression. Although the classical antidepressants have not been specially designed to target mitochondria, the evidence suggests that many antidepressants may exert their effects by improving mitochondrial function.ConclusionsThis brief review focuses on the findings that implicate mitochondrial dysfunction and the quality control systems as important etiological factors in the context of depressive disorders. It will help us to understand the various concepts of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of depression, and to explore novel and more targeted therapeutic approaches for depression.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor and extra‐motor neurodegenerative disease. This systematic review aimed to examine MRI biomarkers and neuropsychological assessments of the hippocampal and parahippocampal regions in patients with ALS.MethodsA systematic review was conducted in the Scopus and PubMed databases for studies published between January 2000 and July 2023. The inclusion criteria were (1) MRI studies to assess hippocampal and parahippocampal regions in ALS patients, and (2) studies reporting neuropsychological data in patients with ALS.ResultsA total of 46 studies were included. Structural MRI revealed hippocampal atrophy, especially in ALS‐FTD, involving specific subregions (CA1, dentate gyrus). Disease progression and genetic factors impacted atrophy patterns. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) showed increased mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), and decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) in the hippocampal tracts and adjacent regions, indicating loss of neuronal and white matter integrity. Functional MRI (fMRI) revealed reduced functional connectivity (FC) between the hippocampus, parahippocampus, and other regions, suggesting disrupted networks. Perfusion MRI showed hypoperfusion in parahippocampal gyri. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) found changes in the hippocampus, indicating neuronal loss. Neuropsychological tests showed associations between poorer memory and hippocampal atrophy or connectivity changes. CA1‐2, dentate gyrus, and fimbria atrophy were correlated with worse memory.ConclusionsThe hippocampus and the connected regions are involved in ALS. Hippocampal atrophy disrupted connectivity and metabolite changes correlate with cognitive and functional decline. Specific subregions can be particularly affected. The hippocampus is a potential biomarker for disease monitoring and prognosis.
