Authors: Briseño Hugo , Maisterrena Lourdes , Soto-Pérez Manuel 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis research aims to find which components of Decent Work are associated with Subjective Well-Being.Design/methodology/approachWith data from 2021 from the states of Mexico, econometric models are carried out.FindingsIt is found that disposable income and satisfaction with leisure time have a significant positive relationship with employees' Subjective Well-Being. Likewise, the rate of critical occupancy conditions and informality rate have a significant negative relationship with Subjective Well-Being. The research suggests that influencing the Decent Work conditions of the population in Mexico could favour their Subjective Well-Being.Social implicationsShare guidelines that enable employers and governments to establish strategies and policies that promote Decent Work to increase the Subjective Well-being of employees.Originality/valueThis article evaluates different variables that make up the Decent Work construct in their level of influence on Subjective Well-being. These relationships and variables considered have not been identified in previous studies as a whole.

Published: October 2023

AbstractRuxolitinib cream is a topical formulation of ruxolitinib, a selective inhibitor of Janus kinase (JAK) 1 and JAK2. In two phase 3 studies in adults and adolescents (aged ≥12 years) with atopic dermatitis (AD; TRuE‐AD1/TRuE‐AD2), significantly more patients who applied ruxolitinib cream versus vehicle cream achieved Investigator's Global Assessment treatment success (IGA‐TS; IGA score of 0/1 with ≥2‐point improvement from baseline) at week 8 (primary endpoint). This post hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy, safety, and disease control of ruxolitinib cream in patients with AD who did not achieve IGA‐TS at week 8. Patients in TRuE‐AD1/TRuE‐AD2 (N = 1249) were randomized 2:2:1 to apply twice‐daily 0.75% ruxolitinib cream, 1.5% ruxolitinib cream, or vehicle cream for 8 weeks followed by a long‐term safety period in which patients applied ruxolitinib cream as needed. In this pooled analysis, clinically meaningful response thresholds included ≥50% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index, ≥2‐point reduction in the Itch Numerical Rating Scale, ≥4‐point improvement in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) or ≥6‐point improvement in Children's DLQI, and ≥1‐point reduction in IGA from baseline. Among patients who did not achieve IGA‐TS at week 8 (n = 584), significantly more patients who applied either strength ruxolitinib cream versus vehicle achieved each response threshold at week 8. A response in ≥1 clinically meaningful endpoint was achieved in significantly more patients who applied ruxolitinib cream (93.4%/90.9% for 0.75%/1.5% ruxolitinib cream, respectively) versus vehicle (69.0%, both P < 0.0001). Progressive improvements in disease control were observed, with many patients achieving IGA‐TS by week 52 (55.2%/56.3% for 0.75%/1.5% ruxolitinib cream, respectively). Ruxolitinib cream was well tolerated during the 52‐week study in this patient population. Taken together, these results demonstrate that most patients with AD who did not achieve IGA‐TS at week 8 have clinically meaningful responses to ruxolitinib cream, and continued therapy beyond 8 weeks could result in additional benefit.
Digitalization, Resource Mobilization and Firm Growth in Emerging Industries
Authors: Audretsch David B. , Belitski Maksim 
Published: October 2023

AbstractWhile most firms do not grow, a small number of firms grow and enhance their equity and debt capital intensity. Researchers, managers and policymakers question the role that digital technologies play in propelling firm growth and resource mobilization. Using a longitudinal dataset from emerging industries in the United Kingdom during 2010–2019, we distinguish three types of firms and examine their growth and resource mobilization. First, we find that digitally advanced firms grow faster and enhance equity capital intensity while reducing debt capital intensity. Second, we find that the relationship between digitally advanced firms and firm growth is mediated by equity capital intensity. Third, firm size positively moderates the effect of digitally advanced firms on firm growth. Firm age does not moderate this relationship. Other firm‐level characteristics, such as number of digital tools, firm productivity, accelerator experience and stage of growth, may either impede or facilitate a firm's growth and resource mobilization. This study helps policymakers and firm managers in emerging industries better understand the role of digitalization and resources in firm growth.

Published: October 2023

AbstractEducation in segregated settings for pupils with intellectual disability (ID) has often been portrayed as a unified form of schooling. There is a risk of providing a simplified picture of these settings and of what pupils with ID need to learn. This is generally stipulated in policy documents, leaving room for staff in school to interpret curricula and form learning environments. The aim of this study is to explore how four different learning environments are constructed in segregated settings where pupils with ID are educated in Sweden. The study was conducted as a multiple case study, using observations and interviews with teachers and pupils in four special classes for pupils with ID (SCIDs). Drawing on curriculum theory, the four learning environments, in the results named as Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta class, respectively, appeared to be characterized by different ideas of schooling, labelled as knowledge‐mediating, socializing, functional life skills and caring as well as teacher‐centred classrooms. The study contributes to a deepened understanding of the complexity of education for pupils with ID in segregated settings.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAimTo compare the differences between neoadjuvant chemotherapy with resection and upfront surgery for patients with resectable colorectal cancer with liver metastases.Patients and MethodsThe following electronic databases were searched for systematic literature: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. Studies fulfilling the following criteria were included in the analysis: compared neoadjuvant chemotherapy and upfront surgery; included patients with resectable metastases at the time of presentation; reported the long‐term results, including overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS); and identified early adverse postoperative events, including 30‐day mortality and overall postoperative complications.ResultsOver 24 studies with 8700 patients were analysed. Patients were divided into the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (n = 3490, 40.1%) and the upfront surgery group (n = 5172, 59.4%). The meta‐analysis showed no statistically significant difference in terms of overall morbidities [odds ratio (OR) 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84‐1.67] and mortality (OR 1.48, 95% CI 0.75‐2.92) between the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and upfront surgery groups. However, the meta‐analysis showed a favourable OS in the upfront surgery group (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06‐1.38) and favourable DFS in the upfront surgery group (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.38‐2.12), including the subgroups of 1‐, 3‐, 5‐year DFS (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.06‐1.8; OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.35‐3.14 and OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.18‐2.29, respectively).ConclusionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy has no benefit for resectable colorectal cancer with liver metastases; therefore, upfront surgery should be considered as the treatment of choice.
Livestock grazing is associated with the gut microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes in sympatric plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)

Published: October 2023

AbstractWith the overuse of antibiotics in health care and animal husbandry, antibiotic resistance becomes a serious threat to public health. Antibiotic residues from veterinary medicine have increased the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by horizontal gene transfer globally, leading to the enrichment of ARGs in wildlife. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a small herbivore endemic to the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Previous studies reveal that pika evolves a coprophagy behavior toward cohabitated yak, which makes the pika population a potential reservoir of ARGs. Yet, little is known about the resistome of pika under different grazing intensities. Here, we sampled the cecum content of pika from three different grazing intensity areas in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau to evaluate the effect of grazing on its gut microbiota and resistome. By using the 16S full‐length amplicon and metagenomic sequencing, our study revealed that livestock grazing significantly altered the gut microbial community of plateau pika as compared to prohibited grazing areas. We found bacterial lineage Prevotellaceae, Lachnospirales, and RF39 increased in grazing areas. Analysis of the resistome revealed that pika from continuous grazing areas enriched a higher abundance of colistin (MCR) and streptogramin (vat) resistance genes. Moreover, we observed significant correlations between the gut microbial community, ARGs, and mobile genetic element profiles, hinting that pika gut microbiota was an important shaping force of the resistome. In future studies, the continuous monitoring of wildlife gut resistome and environmental antibiotic residues is imperative for a better understanding and for tackling the horizontal gene transfer of ARGs across the wildlife–livestock interface.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aims to assess the change in cervical spine (C‐spine) immobilization frequency in trauma patients over time. We hypothesize that the frequency of unnecessary C‐spine immobilization has decreased.MethodsA retrospective chart review of adult trauma patients transported to our American College of Surgeons–verified Level I trauma center from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2021, was performed. Emergency medical services documentation was manually reviewed to record prehospital physiology and the application of a prehospital cervical collar (c‐collar). C‐spine injuries were defined as cervical vertebral fractures and/or spinal cord injuries. Univariate and year‐by‐year trend analyses were used to assess changes in C‐spine injury and immobilization frequency.ResultsAmong 2906 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 12% sustained C‐spine injuries, while 88% did not. Patients with C‐spine injuries were more likely to experience blunt trauma (95% vs. 68%, p < 0.001), were older (46 years vs. 41 years, p < 0.001), and had higher Injury Severity Scores (31 vs. 18, p < 0.001). They also exhibited lower initial systolic blood pressures (108 mm Hg vs. 119 mm Hg, p < 0.001), lower heart rates (92 beats/min vs. 97 beats/min, p < 0.05), and lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores (9 vs. 11, p < 0.001). In blunt trauma, c‐collars were applied to 83% of patients with C‐spine injuries and 75% without; for penetrating trauma, c‐collars were applied to 50% of patients with C‐spine injuries and only 8% without. Among penetrating trauma patients with C‐spine injury, all patients either arrived quadriplegic or did not require emergent neurosurgical intervention. The proportion of patients receiving a c‐collar decreased in both blunt and penetrating traumas from 2014 to 2021 (blunt—82% in 2014 to 68% in 2021; penetrating—24% in 2014 to 6% in 2021).ConclusionsUnnecessary C‐spine stabilization has decreased from 2014 to 2021. However, c‐collars are still being applied to patients who do not need them, both in blunt and in penetrating trauma cases, while not being applied to patients who would benefit from them.

In light of transit: Documenting the scales of urban change along the LRT line in Hamilton, Ontario
Authors: Mayers Rebecca , Rallis Nicole , Doucet Brian , Babin Caleb 
Published: October 2023

AbstractLarge‐scale transit projects, such as light rail, are transformational for cities due to their ability to attract investment, curb sprawl, and intensify urban areas. In part because of enhancements to the public realm and improved connectivity, areas along new transit lines witness significant growth and investment, making them less affordable for residents already there. However, very little research has examined experiences of transit‐induced gentrification, particularly at the early stages of a new transit project. The purpose of this article is to document these experiences from the perspective of those living along the planned LRT corridor in Hamilton, Ontario. Importantly, our research was conducted before construction started. Through in‐depth interviews with residents living within 800 m of the planned LRT route, we found disparate experiences of change and ongoing housing affordability concerns on an individual, neighbourhood, and city scale. Many Hamilton residents express a need for more community engagement and transparency in the decision‐making process. We detail these experiences and offer policy recommendations to inhibit further housing insecurity and displacement in light of the LRT development.
Displaying your diploma: The professionalization of curators in Israel
Authors: Yaron Elad 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study examines the history of legislation on the subject of curation in Israel and the state of the country's training programs for curators. Israel serves as a representative case study: While many museum activities and curatorial studies programs worldwide were initiated in order to ensure a trained museum staff, today, the scope of those who meet this criterion far exceeds the demand. Furthermore, as happened frequently in other countries, Israeli legislators in the 1980s did not understand that contemporary curation and museology are two very different fields, and a system to train the staff of museums was built together with the flourishing of contemporary curation. Hence, in legislation, these two fields are today bound together. This article builds on the Israeli case study to ask if separating these two fields will create more up‐to‐date programs.
Metabolically healthy obese individuals are still at high risk for diabetes: Application of the marginal structural model
Authors: Lee Hye Ah , Park Hyesook 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAimTo assess the effect of obesity phenotype on the incidence of diabetes, considering phenotype as a time‐varying exposure.MethodsWe used community‐based cohort data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, with a 16‐year follow‐up period. Obesity phenotype was determined using body mass index and metabolic syndrome criteria. The influence of obesity phenotype on the occurrence of diabetes was evaluated using a Cox proportional hazard model and a marginal structural model (MSM).ResultsObesity phenotypes were defined in 6265 individuals, with diabetes identified in 903 (14.4%) during the follow‐up period. Individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) exhibited a higher risk of diabetes compared to those with metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.48 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15‐1.90). This association remained significant after applying the MSM (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.01‐2.20). Moreover, various sensitivity analyses consistently demonstrated a higher risk of diabetes in individuals with MHO compared to those with MHNW.ConclusionsEven when obesity phenotype was treated as a time‐varying exposure, individuals with MHO were still at higher risk for developing diabetes than those with MHNW. Consequently, such individuals should aim to avoid transitioning to a metabolically unfavourable state and strive to reduce their body weight to a normal range.
Local donation culture and corporate tax avoidance: Evidence from China
Authors: Ge Chuanlu , Bi Yuhan , Xu Jia 
Published: October 2023

AbstractUsing a sample of Chinese A‐share listed firms over the period 2010–2017, this paper investigates the impact of local donation culture on corporate tax avoidance. We find that firms located in areas with a strong local donation culture are less engaged in tax avoidance. The results remain robust under a variety of robustness tests. Furthermore, we find that this relationship is driven by enhancing the moral identity of managers. In further analysis, we also explore the role of media attention, chief executive officer's (CEO's) childhood famine experience, and CEO duality in the relationship between local donation culture and corporate tax avoidance. This study enriches the existing literature on culture and firms' behaviors, and the conclusion of this paper has significant policy implications for governing corporate tax avoidance.
