The moderating role of perceived brand globalness on the effects of consumers’ attitude during periods of political controversies: three interconnected studies following marketing analytics’ best practices
Authors: Luna-Cortes Gonzalo , López-Bonilla Luis Miguel , López-Bonilla Jesús Manuel 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe purpose of this research is to test the moderating role of perceived brand globalness (PBG) on consumer unfavourable attitudes and buying intention towards brands associated with a conflicting political belief. Three studies were conducted. Study 1 (N = 228) examines the effect of a brand being associated with a conflicting political belief on attitude and buying intention. Study 2 (N = 212) tests the moderating role of PBG among these relationships. Study 3 (N = 126) tests the moderating role of PBG for a service brand and adds the mediating role of self-congruity. We followed marketing analytics best practices to examine causal effects of manipulated stimuli. We also examined the psychometric characteristics of the data-collection tool and tested direct relationships between variables. Additionally, we used percentile bootstrap confidence intervals, with PROCESS-Macro, to test mediating effects in the theoretical model. The studies include moderating analyses and analysis of variance. The results show that the association of a brand with a conflicting political belief negatively influences perceived self-congruity, which leads to an unfavourable attitude and, in turn, to a lower buying intention. Presenting a brand as global mitigates such unfavourable effects. The moderating effect of PBG is confirmed for a tangible product and for a service brand.
“Terrestrial Verses” on the borderline: an interdisciplinary decolonial reading of Forugh Farrokhzad and Frida Kahlo
Authors: Moosavi Seyedeh Zahra 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis article studies the social and historical underpinnings of Forugh Farrokhzad’s poem “Terrestrial Verses” (1962) and her documentary film The House is Black (1962) in light of Frida Kahlo’s painting, Self-Portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States (1932). I argue that this unlikely comparison—between neocolonial Mexico and postcolonial Iran—helps articulate a decolonial paradigm in Farrokhzad’s poetry that is often subdued in Persian literary studies. Few scholars have approached Frida Kahlo and Forugh Farrokhzad’s works from a post- or decolonial point of view, and almost no one has compared these two artists. Nevertheless, hitherto unseen aspects of their work address their politics, sense of worldliness, visions of decolonization, and dismantling of the colonial residues in their respective cultural contexts through their art and artistic expressions. In terms of Farrokhzad’s poetry, the history of medicine and public health in Iran is of high importance as I make my case. This interdisciplinary and comparative reading results in a new understanding of the epidemic of leprosy as an unintended consequence of the “colonial matrix of power” in Iran during WWI.

The magnetic anisotropy of strontium ferrite (SF)/PA12 filament, a popular hard magnetic ferrimagnetic composites that is used for 3D-printing of permanent magnets, is studied by vibrating sample magnetometry. The studied filaments have a composition of SF/PA-12 thermoplastic composite with a 40% wt.  ratio of SF. SF particles are non-spherical platelets with an average diameter of 1.3 um and a diameter to thickness ratio of 3. Filaments are produced by a twin-screw extruder and have a diameter of 1.5 mm. SEM images show that the SF particles are homogeneously distributed through the filament. VSM measurements on different parts of the filaments show that the outer part of the cylindrical filament has a higher anisotropy, and the core is mostly isotropic. This conclusion is consistent with computational work by others which suggest that particle alignment predominantly takes place near the walls of the extruder die where shear flow is maximum. Additional hysteresis curve measurement of the outer cylindrical part of the filament parallel to the r and ϕ directions indicates that the squareness of the hysteresis curve (S) is larger in the r-direction. This indicates that the outer surface of the filament has a strong easy axis in the r-direction. We conclude that the SF platelets line up parallel to the walls of the extrusion die.
‘But we’re among peers!’
Authors: Veret Thomas 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Focusing on French social science and humanities journals, this article examines the digital communication
surrounding the submission of articles by scholars based in Africa. Using Cameron’s concept of verbal hygiene ([1995] 2012), I analyze the case of negative reactions from editors triggered by
stylistic and rhetorical features related to politeness. Through a detailed case study, the paper shows that such negative
reactions involve semiotic processes of linguistic and social differentiation that articulate the moralized persona of the author
and the scientific value of his/her work. However, editors’ verbal hygiene attitudes are also intertwined with political concerns
aimed at promoting the inclusion of scholars from the Global South. In that context, the analysis reveals a complex interplay
between the desire for openness and structural patterns of exclusion that enact long-standing hierarchies in knowledge production.
Drawing on Inoue’s (2003) theory of the listening subject, I argue that this paradox
arises from the reader’s particular position within the globalized academic landscape and from the power structures inherent in
the circulation of texts between African and French academic contexts.
Laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for gastric cancer with intraoperative detection of limited peritoneal metastasis: a Phase II study of CLASS-05 trial

Abstract

Background
Systemic chemotherapy for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis has limited clinical benefit; for those with intraoperative detection of occult peritoneal metastasis, cytoreductive surgery followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an alternative treatment. However, the feasibility and effects of this modality and criteria for selecting suitable groups remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery (L-CRS) followed by HIPEC in gastric cancer with limited peritoneal metastasis, and this study also aimed to determine the optimized cut-off of the peritoneal cancer index.

Methods
Between March 2017 and November 2019, patients diagnosed with gastric cancer peritoneal metastases by using laparoscopy and the Sugarbaker peritoneal cancer index of ≤12 were eligible for inclusion. All patients received L-CRS (including gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection) and resection of visible peritoneal metastasis, followed by post-operative HIPEC, and systemic chemotherapy. The primary end points were median progression-free survival and median survival time, and the secondary outcomes were morbidity and mortality within 30 days after surgery.

Results
Thirty patients were eligible for analysis, of whom 19 (63.3%) were female, and the overall mean age was 53.0 years. The post-operative morbidity was 20% and the severe complication rate was 10%. The median survival time was 27.0 months with a 2-year overall survival rate of 52.3% and median progression-free survival was 14.0 months with a 2-year progression-free survival of 30.4%.

Conclusions
L-CRS followed by HIPEC can be safely performed for gastric cancer with limited peritoneal metastasis and potential survival benefits.
Is there a route for metachronous inguinal lymph node in colonic cancer? A case report

Abstract
As the inguinal lymph nodes do not serve as the primary route for the lymphatic drainage of the colon, inguinal metastasis from colorectal carcinomas is considered an unusual finding, especially in the 2nd year follow-up. A 76-year-old male patient, operated on for non-metastatic right colic adenocarcinoma, consulted 2 years after for a right inguinal swelling. A biopsy was performed. Unexpectedly, it showed an adenocarcinoma metastasis in favor of a colonic origin. There was no relapse of the disease. The pathological examination of the resected inguinal lymph node confirmed malignant cells from a colonic origin. As the positron emission tomography scan showed no other tumoral localizations, a multidisciplinary discussion ensued, culminating in the choice of chemotherapy for optimal pathological response. This case highlights the fact that colic drainage may encounter inguinal lymph nodes and thus inguinal groin metastasis could exceptionally have been seen in colonic carcinomas.
Devising the items
Authors: Streiner David L. , Norman Geoffrey R. , Cairney John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses various sources for the items that make up a health measurement scale (e.g. existing item banks, patient interviews, research, clinical judgement, expert opinion, and theory). It then covers ways of ensuring content validity of the resulting items. This involves assessing whether all domains are covered and whether each item maps onto one and only one domain. The chapter covers both subjective and objective ways of doing this. It reviews the arguments for and against disease-specific scales as opposed to generic ones. Finally, it discusses the issues that arise when a scale is translated from one language to another.
Selecting the items
Authors: Streiner David L. , Norman Geoffrey R. , Cairney John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Not all of the items that have been generated will prove to be useful. This chapter discusses the criteria of a good item, such as its reading level, lack of ambiguity, asking only a single question, freedom from jargon, being worded in a positive direction, and length. Another consideration is the distribution of responses, whether all response alternatives have been used by at least some of the respondents, and when items with very low endorsement frequencies may actually be useful. It also discusses the homogeneity of the scale and the various ways of measuring it (e.g. KR-20, split-halves, and Cronbach’s alpha). Finally, it discusses when homogeneity is and is not important, and which statistical tests should not be used when homogeneity is not required.
Generalizability theory
Authors: Streiner David L. , Norman Geoffrey R. , Cairney John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter is a detailed review of generalizability theory (G theory), an extension of classical reliability theory originally devised by Cronbach. The basic concept is that any measurement contains multiple sources of error, and through the use of G theory these various sources can be calculated in a single study. This permits the researcher to examine the relative magnitude of different sources of error and the relation among them. The power of the method rests in its ability to use these estimates to devise optimal strategies for distributing observations. That is, G theory can be used to determine how a fixed number of observations should be distributed across raters, occasions, or cases to optimize reliability.
Reporting test results
Authors: Streiner David L. , Norman Geoffrey R. , Cairney John 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Journals are becoming increasingly more stringent in their requirements for what must be reported in articles about the psychometric properties of scales. This chapter reviews three of the most commonly used guidelines : the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, the STARD initiative (Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy), and the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies (GRRAS). It abstracts portions of these guidelines that are most relevant for scales used in research settings. These cover the reporting of test development, reliability, and validity. The chapter also has a flow chart, adapted from STARD, which should be included when submitting a manuscript about scale development to a journal.
Dermatological problems
Authors: Currow David , Clark Katherine , Kleinig Paul 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Although relatively rare, severe, systemic skin conditions can affect people with life-limiting illnesses. These are most often iatrogenic. Late in life, the risk of mortality increases significantly. Ensuring early recognition of serious dermatological conditions maximizes the time to discuss with the person who has the life-limiting illness and their family how aggressively to support the person at that time. Less life-threatening presentations of systemic dermatological problems still create significant challenges in symptom control, given the challenges of pain and dressings (where appropriate).
Gastrointestinal disorders

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Managing gastrointestinal disorders in supportive and palliative care requires careful attention to the person’s history, accompanied by a careful physical examination. Symptoms are often unpleasant for the person and for those looking after them. As non-invasive interventions multiply, the currency of clinical practice and the knowledge of local resources become paramount in considering the options that are reasonably available even in someone who is frail. The parallel process of managing symptoms while considering any definitive course of action is especially important for people with symptoms from gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Mental health

Published: February 2024

Abstract
People may have a combination of long-term mental health issues, and those which may emerge during the course of a life-limiting illness. Understanding the person’s life and their longer-term background of mental health is critical to helping to work through issues that may arise acutely at the end of life. The input of people who know well the person with the life-limiting illness can be critical to obtaining the full picture needed to piece together a diagnosis and clinical care plan.
Beyond NAC: Acidemia After Acetaminophen Overdose
Authors: Tartter Benjamin , Ballester Michael 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Acetaminophen overdose is a frequently encountered clinical challenge and one that is potentially lethal. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a highly efficacious antidote; however even in cases where this is given in a timely fashion acute liver failure can sometimes occur. Acetaminophen ingestion has also been noted to occasionally cause a high anion-gap acidosis without signs of liver failure both early after overdose and with long-term use. It is imperative that the physician be prepared to care for these patients and, if needed, arrange transfer to a facility or unit with the ability to perform liver transplantation and/or emergent hemodialysis.
The (Lack of) Benefit of a Screening Urine Drug Screen
Authors: Ervin Rebecca , Padmanabhan Pradeep 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Urine drug screen (UDS) immunoassays represent an inexpensive, rapid tool commonly utilized in the ED and other clinical and nonclinical situations as part of the evaluation of patients with psychiatric complaints, intoxication, or undifferentiated altered mental status, among other indications. Collecting urine specimens and performing the tests may significantly impact the length of stay in the ED. Despite its widespread use, UDS results rarely change management and may negatively affect the patient’s care. With the evolution of biochemical diversity in drugs of abuse as well as cross-reactivity of immunoassays, false-negatives and false-positives significantly limit the clinical utility of screening UDS.
A Long Way from Woodstock: Synthetic Cannabinoids
Authors: Nogee Daniel 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Since their first appearance in the United States’ recreational drug supply, synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) have become an increasingly common substance of abuse and have been linked to mass-overdose outbreaks in multiple states. The term “synthetic cannabinoids” includes dozens of structurally distinct chemicals that share a common site of action on the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, the same target as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol found in marijuana. While not living up to their marketing as a “safe and legal” recreational drug, SCs are often used by those looking to avoid testing positive on immunoassay-based urine drug screens. Clinical effects are unpredictable, ranging from mild agitation or delirium up to lethal cardiac arrythmias, and they can be difficult to distinguish from other substances of abuse or nonpharmacological medical illness. Fortunately, most patients recover with minimal long-term consequences.
You Are Getting Chernobyl Close to Home: Acute Radiation Syndrome and Cutaneous Radiation Syndrome
Authors: Fahmy Girgis , Kazzi Ziad 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Acute radiation syndrome is the acute illness that occurs after exposure of the entire body, or most of it, to a high dose of ionizing radiation over a short period of time. The severity of the illness is contingent on the patient’s preexisting conditions, the presence of other injuries like trauma or burns, the total dose, and the rate of exposure. As the dose of radiation increases, the acute radiation syndrome will manifest as four different sub-syndromes: hematopoietic, GI, neurovascular, and cutaneous sub-syndromes. Acute radiation syndrome progresses through four stages: prodromal, latent, manifest illness, and recovery or death. Management of acute radiation syndrome first involves performance of life-saving emergency department interventions then addressing the radiation exposure or contamination with radioactive materials afterward.
Attitudinal Sources of Meaning: Encountering Life’s Limitations
Authors: Applebaum Allison J. , Breitbart William S. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The fourth session of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Cancer Caregivers focuses on the meaning that can be derived by caregivers through reflecting on how they face limitation, challenges, and losses. The main goal for Session 4 is to explore the topic of Attitudinal Sources of Meaning, based on the guiding theme, Encountering Life’s Limitations. The discussion explores the ways caregivers faced limitations, obstacles, and losses before caregiving, and how they can choose to face the specific challenges engendered by their caregiving roles. The session also presents an opportunity for caregivers to discuss their experience of facing the ultimate limitation in life, which is death.
Creative Sources of Meaning: Creativity, Courage, and Responsibility
Authors: Applebaum Allison J. , Breitbart William S. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The fifth session of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Cancer Caregivers focuses on the meaning that can be derived through how caregivers create and take responsibility for their lives. The goal for Session 5 is to introduce and explore the topic of Creative Sources of Meaning and the guiding theme, Creativity, Courage and Responsibility. The discussion touches on several key constructs: creativity, responsibility, courage, and guilt. By the end of Session 5, caregivers should recognize ways in which they can continue to create their lives despite the challenges and limitations of caregiving, and ways that the experience of guilt can serve as a motivator for positive change.
The Theo-Politics of Ritual: Defining and Contesting the Sacred Order of the Church
Authors: Gruber Judith 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Both sociology of religion and statistical bodies within the Catholic Church approach the question of church membership in similar ways: they take participation in religious ritual as a benchmark of affiliation to a religious community. What seems to be a straightforward criterion for measuring membership actually speaks to a complex interplay in the constitution of political and cosmological order: the constitution of social order through practices such as religious rituals is, irreducibly, also a definition of the ‘extraordinary’. Thus, starting from the assumption that the formation of community is a political–theological practice of boundary-drawing that cannot but refer to a beyond, this article offers a theological critique of ritual participation as a criterion of ecclesial affiliation. Taking the performance ‘Verantwort: ich’ (Synodaler Weg, 2023) as a case, it shows that it rests on a theological concept of transcendence that is used as a hegemonic instrument to confirm the established order of belonging in the church. Arguing that the definition of ecclesial boundaries is an irreducibly powerful, even violent theo-political practice, it asks which theological notion of transcendence can best reckon with, and consequently offer tools for managing, rather than concealing, the normative violence that is at the heart of the question of who belongs to the church.
Evaluating Foa and Foa’s Social Resource Theory: A Data-Analytic Perspective
Authors: Sabbagh Clara , Schmitt Manfred 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the traditional research methods (e.g., design and types of data analyses) applied to examine and validate Foas’ social resource theory (SRT). In this regard, the chapter elaborates on a comparative perspective of the strengths and shortcomings of two main traditional methods: smallest space analysis (SSA), the original multidimensional scaling method from which SRT stemmed, and factor analysis (FA). The chapter further focuses on SRT in a classroom setting as an applied illustration in which SRT is formally tested and validated using SSA and FA. Finally, the chapter discusses the potential use of other multivariate (untraditional) methods for exploring new research questions and hypotheses derived from SRT, hence expanding its scope and providing further possible validation to the theory.
J.N. Darby and the Roots of Dispensationalism
Authors: Gribben Crawford 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
J. N. Darby and the Roots of Dispensationalism describes the work of one of the most important and under-studied theologians in the history of Christianity. In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the “Plymouth Brethren.” Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries to develop distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times. As Darby’s arguments were developed, after his death in 1882, he became known as the architect of the most influential system of end-times thinking among the world’s half-a-billion evangelicals. This “dispensational premillennialism” exercises extraordinary influence in religious communities, but also in popular culture and geopolitics. But claims that Darby created this theological system may need to be qualified, and—for all his innovation—this reputation might be undeserved. This book reconstructs Darby’s theological development and argues that his innovations were more complex and extensive than their reduction into dispensationalism might suggest. In fact, this book argues, Darby’s thought might be closer to that of his Reformed critics than to that of modern exponents of dispensationalism. Darby might have contributed some of its key ideas, but he did not witness the birth of dispensationalism.
