AbstractConnectivity shapes species distribution across fragmented landscapes. Assessing landscape resistance to dispersal is challenging because dispersal events are rare and difficult to detect especially for elusive species. To address these issues, spatial occupancy models have been developed to integrate the resistance surface concept of landscape ecology and model patch occupancy dynamics through colonization and extinction while accounting for imperfect species detection. However, the most recent approach is based on least-cost path distances which assume that individuals disperse along the optimal route. Here, we develop a new spatial occupancy model that incorporates commute distances derived from circuit theory to model dispersal across sites. Our approach allows for explicit estimation of landscape connectivity and direct measure of uncertainty from detection/non-detection data. To illustrate our approach, we study the recolonisation of two carnivores in France, and quantify the degree to which rivers facilitate Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) dispersal and highways impede Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) recolonisation. Overall, spatial occupancy models provide a flexible framework to acccommodate any distance metric designed to align with species dispersal ecology.Open Research StatementData and code used in this research are available on Zenodo athttps://zenodo.org/record/8376577

SUMMARYObesity is a life-threatening condition characterized by a maladaptive remodeling of the visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT), including fibrosis, that drives vWAT metabolic alterations. We previously identified CD9hiadipose tissue progenitors as the main drivers of vWAT fibrosis in mice and humans. However, how their functions are controlled, especially by macrophages, remains largely unknown. We found that obesity-elicited monocyte-derived macrophages (obeMac) accumulation was considerably elevated in mice prone to obesity-induced vWAT fibrosis. Limiting obeMac build-up decreased the numbers and fibrogenic activation of CD9hiprogenitors, leading to decreased vWAT fibrosis and improved glucose homeostasis. In patients with obesity, we identified macrophages similar to mouse obeMacs that were associated with accumulation of CD9hiprogenitors in the vWAT and loss of glycemic control. Finally, intercellular communication analysis identified mediators produced by obeMacs that control the fibrogenic potential of CD9hiprogenitors. Together, we uncovered an obeMac-CD9hiprogenitors axis controlling vWAT fibrosis and dysfunction.
When relational transparency backfires: examining the various impacts of authentic leadership on employee trust during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Zheng Qi , Dong Chuqing , Zhang Yafei 
Published: September 2023

PurposeThis study examines how the different attributes of authentic leadership influence trust and employee organization fit and how such influences differ by gender and the level of positions during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a survey to examine US employees' perceptions toward different attributes of authentic leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsThe study showed that self-awareness, balanced processing and internalized moral perspective positively relate to trust in the employer, mediated through employee–organization fit. However, relational transparency has a backfiring effect, negatively related to trust through the mediation of employee–organization fit. Additionally, this study highlights the differences in gender and level of positions in reactions to authentic leadership.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of internal public relations in a turbulent crisis time by proposing a mediated model that explains the effects of authentic leadership on employees' trust through their fit with the organization. Additionally, it identified that gender and position level are important factors moderating such effects.
Exploring the prevalence of loneliness and social isolation in an analysis of Safeguarding Adults Reviews in South Yorkshire
Authors: Whitehead Louise Jayne 
Published: September 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the links between being lonely and isolated, and increased risks of abuse for adults with care and support needs.

Design/methodology/approach
Thematic analysis was used to explore features of loneliness and social isolation present in South Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) published since 2014.

Findings
Ten out of fifteen SARs indicated there had been issues of loneliness and/or social isolation for the person who was the subject of the SAR.

Research limitations/implications
The limitations of this paper are that it only included SARs from the South Yorkshire area. Future research should explore national and international perspectives on these issues.

Practical implications
Safeguarding Boards should include actions to address loneliness and social isolation as part of prevention strategies and services to develop approaches that can minimise or prevent abuse before it occurs. Practitioners should routinely explore whether the people they work with feel lonely and/or isolated and support people to take appropriate action to mitigate these risks.

Originality/value
This paper uses the existing body of literature about loneliness and social isolation to explore the risks of abuse and neglect for adults with care and support needs.
Audit consortium impact on audit quality assessment: evidence from Egypt
Authors: AbuRaya Rania 
Published: September 2023

Purpose
Audit consortium of joint and dual audits is one of the most controversial mechanisms aimed at improving audit quality and resolving several related debatable issues. This study aims to empirically investigate the impact of audit consortium on audit quality assessment in Egypt. It specifically examines whether audit opinion modification level is triggered by joint and dual audits existence and whether it is influenced by the relative importance of the auditor pair combination types.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of companies listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange constituting the EGX 30 index is examined over a period of five years, from 2016 to 2020. A quantitative research methodology is used, using content analysis of companies’ audit reports and carrying out longitudinal panel ordinary least squares multiple regression tests.

Findings
Results show that audit quality is significantly enhanced by conducting joint and dual audits of Egyptian companies’ financial statements. Findings indicate that both joint and dual audits significantly increase auditors’ propensity to modify audit opinions as compared to companies that engage in single audits. However, this increase in audit quality is not supported by the presence of Big 4 joint auditors or affiliated joint auditors, while the impact of Big 4 dual auditors cannot be confirmed. Nevertheless, such a potential increase in audit opinion modification is boosted by the presence of affiliated dual auditors, which appears to translate into higher quality.

Research limitations/implications
The study has important implications for researchers, corporates, those charged with governance, financial statement users, auditors, regulators and standard setters, who might be interested in whether an audit consortium and a particular auditor pair combination are associated with superior audit quality. It provides empirical evidence that might contribute to the continuous challenge of promoting the quality and effectiveness of the external audit.

Originality/value
This study adds to the relatively limited and challenging literature on the potential contribution of audit consortium, using audit opinion modification level as a direct assessment of audit quality. It extends the scope of prior research by examining the existence of joint and dual audits and the relative importance of joint and dual auditor pair combination types. The study provides key insights from a distinctive and complex emerging audit market.
Unveiling the predictors and outcomes of TikTok addiction: the moderating role of parasocial relationships
Authors: Akhtar Naeem , Islam Tahir 
Published: October 2023

PurposeTechnology addiction is an increasingly severe problem. TikTok has become increasingly popular recently, and its addiction is also a major concern. This study aims to examine the antecedents and outcomes of TikTok addiction.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collect 579 data from Chinese users using an online survey. The authors use structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM) to analyze data and test hypotheses.FindingsThe results illustrate that perceived enjoyment, social relationship, utilitarian need and social influence positively affect TikTok addiction. Both social anxiety and loneliness have positive effects on TikTok addiction. Moreover, parasocial relationships positively moderate the association between the antecedents of self-determination theory (SDT) (perceived enjoyment, social relationship, utilitarian needs, social influence, social anxiety and loneliness) and TikTok addiction. Meanwhile, TikTok addiction intensifies conflicts, including technology-family conflict, technology-person conflict and technology-work conflict. These conflicts reduce life satisfaction.Practical implicationsIt offers practical implications for preventing and avoiding TikTok addiction to create a healthy environment.Originality/valueThis study is one of the few to provide a complete process of TikTok addiction. It systematically investigates the antecedents and outcomes of TikTok addiction.
Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing
Authors: Whitesel Jessica 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this paper, I will explore the role of art‐making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self‐states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
Assessing the diversity of Australian tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) using DNA barcoding and iterative species delimitation
Authors: Briggs Ethan J. , Santana Renan C. , Raven Robert J. , Cook Lyn G. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) are one of the most diverse and widespread families of mygalomorph spiders, with over 1000 species recognised globally. While tarantulas can be found across most of mainland Australia, from arid regions to tropical forests, the Australian fauna are not yet well characterised. There are currently only 10 nominal species, up to 8 of which are currently recognised as distinct species. Here, we aim to undertake the first continent‐wide assessment of species diversity of tarantulas in Australia using an iterative, hypothesis‐testing approach. We apply a biological species concept and use DNA sequence data from three independent loci to delimit putative species based on evidence of lack of gene flow. First, we use the mitochondrial DNA marker 16S to identify a set of putative species hypotheses. We then test each hypothesis under the expectations of neotypy, allotypy and allophyly using two independent nuclear loci, EF1γ and 28S rRNA. Genealogically exclusive lineages are inferred using haplotype networks for each nuclear locus, interpreted to represent non‐interbreeding entities and hence represent distinct biological species. We find evidence for there being at least 20 distinct biological species of tarantula in Australia, with the highest species richness in northern Australia. Our results are in line with other DNA‐based studies of Australian mygalomorphs that have uncovered undescribed species diversity. Given the low number of samples included here, there is likely to be an even greater species diversity of tarantulas in Australia.
Founder dynamic psychological ownership: Impacts on self and others at work
Authors: Zhu Helena , Smith Claudia , Brown Graham 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAs ventures grow, founders must decide between hanging on to control over venture decision‐making or delegating authority to professional managers. This decision is challenging since founders are typically driven by strong feelings of ownership toward their ventures. Adopting a qualitative research design with a grounded theory approach, we investigate the psychological ownership impacts on self and others within the venture when founders delegate decision rights to professional managers. Our analysis draws on in‐depth interviews with 30 founders and 14 professional managers hired by the founders. We develop the first process model of founders' dynamic venture‐targeted psychological ownership and demonstrate how recalibrating psychological ownership is key to the successful delegation of authority to professional managers. Our conceptual model also outlines a novel relationship between recalibrated psychological ownership and founder identity work. We outline our theoretical contributions to psychological ownership and identity control theory and offer practical advice to founders and their professional managers to help with the successful recalibration of founders' venture‐targeted psychological ownership in support of effective delegation and venture growth.

SummaryBackgroundThe prevalence, prediction and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in alcohol‐related hepatitis (AH) is uncertain.AimsWe aimed to determine AKI incidence; association with mortality; evaluate serum biomarkers and the modifying effects of prednisolone and pentoxifylline in the largest AH cohort to date.MethodsParticipants in the Steroids or Pentoxifylline for Alcoholic Hepatitis trial with day zero (D0) creatinine available were included. AKI was defined by modified International Club of Ascites criteria; incident AKI as day 7 (D7) AKI without D0‐AKI. Survival was compared by Kaplan–Meier; mortality associations by Cox regression; associations with AKI by binary logistic regression; biomarkers by AUROC analyses.ResultsD0‐AKI was present in 198/1051 (19%) participants; incident AKI developed in a further 119/571 (21%) with available data. Participants with D0‐AKI had higher 90‐day mortality than those without (32% vs. 25%, p = 0.008), as did participants with incident AKI compared to those without D0‐AKI or incident AKI (47% vs. 25%, p < 0.001). Incident AKI was associated with D90 mortality adjusted for age and discriminant function (AHR 2.15, 1.56–2.97, p < 0.001); D0‐AKI was not. Prednisolone therapy reduced incident AKI (AOR 0.55, 0.36–0.85, p = 0.007) but not mortality. D0 bilirubin and IL‐8 combined, miR‐6826‐5p, and miR‐6811‐3p predicted incident AKI (AUROCs 0.726, 0.821, 0.770, p < 0.01).ConclusionsIncident AKI is associated with 90‐day mortality independent of liver function. Prednisolone therapy was associated with reduced incident AKI. IL‐8 and several miRNAs are potential biomarkers to predict AKI. Novel therapies to prevent incident AKI should be evaluated in AH to reduce mortality.

Identifying barriers and facilitators to self care in young adults with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Wong Sabrina K. W. , Soon Winnie , Griva Konstadina , Smith Helen Elizabeth 
Published: September 2023

AbstractAimsThere is a rising trend of young‐onset type 2 diabetes (YOD) occurring before the age of 40 years. Lower adherence to self care behaviours (diet, physical activity and taking medication) contributed to poorer glycaemic control and higher risk of complications. Young adults with YOD face unique challenges, and our study aimed to identify the main barriers and facilitators of self care behaviours in this population.MethodologyA qualitative study was conducted in the National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, Singapore, using in‐depth semi‐structured interviews. Maximal variation sampling was employed to include participants with YOD of varied age, ethnicity, educational levels and marital status. Thematic analysis was conducted, and barriers and facilitators were identified and mapped to domains of the theoretical domains framework.ResultsTwenty‐one participants aged 22–39 years were interviewed. We found patterns of intentions, self care behaviours and mindsets that were associated with different barriers and facilitators. Four patterns were identified and were named according to mindsets: avoidant, indifferent, striving and activated. In addition, experience of stigma and self‐blame from having type 2 diabetes in young adulthood was common across all mindsets, contributing to poorer self care behaviours and increased psychological burden.ConclusionOur study identified key barriers and facilitators of diet, physical activity and medication adherence in young adults with type 2 diabetes. Understanding barriers and facilitators, as related to mindsets, intentions and behaviours, will support a more individualised care approach.

What Can Groundwater Monitoring Tell Us About Gas Migration? A Numerical Modeling Study
Authors: Jain Kartik , Van De Ven Cole J.C. , Mayer K. Ulrich 
Published: October 2023

AbstractGroundwater monitoring to measure a variety of indicator parameters including dissolved gas concentrations, total dissolved gas pressure (TDGP), and redox indicators is commonly used to evaluate the impacts of gas migration (GM) from energy development in shallow aquifer systems. However, these parameters can be challenging to interpret due to complex free‐phase gas source architecture, multicomponent partitioning, and biogeochemical reactions. A series of numerical simulations using a gas flow model and a reactive transport model were conducted to delineate the anticipated evolution of indicator parameters following GM in an aquifer under a variety of physical and biogeochemical conditions. The simulations illustrate how multicomponent mass transfer processes and biogeochemical reactions create unexpected spatial and temporal variations in several analytes. The results indicate that care must be taken when interpreting measured indicator parameters including dissolved hydrocarbon concentrations and TDGP, as the presence of dissolved gases in background groundwater and biogeochemical processes can cause potentially misleading conclusions about the impact of GM. Based on the consideration of multicomponent gas partitioning in this study, it is suggested that dissolved background gases such as N2 and Ar can provide valuable insights on the presence, longevity and fate of free‐phase natural gas in aquifer systems. Overall, these results contribute to developing a better understanding of indicators for GM in groundwater, which will aid the planning of future monitoring networks and subsequent data interpretation.

AbstractBackgroundWe used data from a prospective cohort to explore 2‐year trajectories of ‘long COVID’ (persistent symptoms after SARS‐CoV‐2 infection) and their association with illness perception.MethodsRECoVERED participants (adults; prospectively enrolled following laboratory‐confirmed SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, May 2020–June 2021) completed symptom questionnaires at months 2–12, 18 and 24, and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B‐IPQ) at months 1, 6 and 12. Using group‐based trajectory models (GBTM), we modelled symptoms (mean total numbers and proportion with four specific complaints), including age, sex, BMI and timing of infection as covariates. In a multivariable linear mixed‐effects model, we assessed the association between symptom trajectories and repeated B‐IPQ scores.ResultsAmong 292 participants (42% female; median age 51 [IQR = 36–62]), four trajectories were identified, ranging from Trajectory 4 (8.9%; 6 + symptoms) to Trajectory 1 (24.8%; no symptoms). The occurrence of fatigue and myalgia increased among 23% and 12% of participants, respectively. Individuals in Trajectory 4 experienced more negative adjusted B‐IPQ scores over time than those in Trajectories 1–3.ConclusionsWe observed little fluctuation in the total number of symptoms, but individual symptoms may develop as others resolve. Reporting a greater number of symptoms was congruent with more negative illness perception over time.
