Published: December 2022

AbstractResearch on psychopathy has so far been largely limited to the investigation of high-level processes, such as emotion perception and regulation. In the present work, we investigate whether psychopathy has an effect on the estimation of fundamental physical parameters, which are computed in the brain during early stages of sensory processing. We employed a simple task in which participants had to estimate their interpersonal distance from a moving avatar and stop it at a given distance. The face expression of the avatars were positive, negative, or neutral. Participants carried out the task online on their home computers. We measured the psychopathy level via a self-report questionnaire. Regardless of the degree of psychopathy, the facial expression of the avatars showed no effect on distance estimation. Our results show that individuals with a high degree of psychopathy underestimate distance of approaching avatars significantly less (let the avatar approach them significantly closer) than did participants with a lesser degree of psychopathy. Moreover, participants who scored high in Self-Centered Impulsivity underestimate the distance to approaching avatars significantly less (let the avatar approach closer) than participants with a low score. Distance estimation is considered an automatic process performed at early stages of visual processing. Therefore, our results imply that psychopathy affects basic early sensory processes, such as feature extraction, in the visual cortex.

AbstractDisruptions in the gut epithelial barrier can lead to the development of chronic indications such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Historically, barrier function has been assessed in cancer cell lines, which do not contain all human intestinal cell types, leading to poor translatability. To bridge this gap, we adapted human primary gut organoids grown as monolayers to assess barrier function. In this work we describe and characterize a novel 96-well human gut organoid-derived monolayer system that enables medium/high-throughput quantitative assessment of candidate therapeutics. Normal human intestine differentiation patterns and barrier function were characterized and confirmed to recapitulate key aspects ofin vivobiology. Next, cellular response to TNF-α (a central driver of IBD) was determined using a diverse cadre of readouts.These outputs included transcription factor phosphorylation, target gene expression, cytokine/chemokine production, and barrier function. Additionally, we showed that TNF-α pathway antagonists rescued damage caused by TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that this system is suitable for quantitative assessment of barrier modulating factors. Taken together, we have established a robust primary cell-based 96-well system capable of interrogating questions around mucosal response. This system is well suited to provide pivotal functional data to support translational target and drug discovery efforts.

AbstractVitiligo, a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by selective epidermal melanocyte loss, lacks a well-defined mechanism for this phenomenon. Our study offers compelling insights into vitiligo pathogenesis by revealing disruptions in the basement membrane zone (BMZ) architecture. We observed branched, fragmented, and multilayered lamina densa, accompanied by elevated dermal fibroblast numbers and notable matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) overexpression. Vitiliginous skin extracts exhibited significant active MMP2 upregulation. To establish a direct link, we intradermally injected MMP2-overexpressing fibroblasts into K14-SCF transgenic mice, resulting in vitiligo-like skin and melanocyte loss, effectively reversed by coadministering MMP2 inhibitors. These groundbreaking findings highlight the pivotal role of disorganized BMZ in vitiligo, proposing MMP2 overexpression in dermal fibroblasts as a potential key contributor. Enhancing our understanding of vitiligo’s mechanisms, this research opens avenues for innovative therapeutic strategies against this challenging autoimmune skin disorder.TeaserDisrupted skin architecture and MMP2 in dermal fibroblasts hold the key to a potential breakthrough against this puzzling autoimmune disease vitiligo.
Mabs, a suite of tools for gene-informed genome assembly
Authors: Schelkunov Mikhail I. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMotivationDespite constantly improving genome sequencing methods, error-free eukaryotic genome assembly has not yet been achieved. Among other kinds of problems of eukaryotic genome assembly are so-called “haplotypic duplications”, which may manifest themselves as cases of alleles being mistakenly assembled as paralogues. Haplotypic duplications are dangerous because they create illusions of gene family expansions and, thus, may lead scientists to incorrect conclusions about genome evolution and functioning.ResultsHere, I present Mabs, a suite of tools that serve as parameter optimizers of the popular genome assemblers Hifiasm and Flye. By optimizing the parameters of Hifiasm and Flye, Mabs tries to create genome assemblies with the genes assembled as accurately as possible. Tests on 6 eukaryotic genomes showed that in 6 out of 6 cases, Mabs created assemblies with more accurately assembled genes than those generated by Hifiasm and Flye when they were run with default parameters. When assemblies of Mabs, Hifiasm and Flye were postprocessed by a popular tool for haplotypic duplication removal, Purge_dups, genes were better assembled by Mabs in 5 out of 6 cases.Availability and implementationMabs has been written in Python and is available athttps://github.com/shelkmike/Mabs
Little pig, little pig, let me come in: The influence of landscape structure and La Niña climatic anomalies on the emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus in Australian piggeries in 2022
Authors: Walsh Michael G. , Webb Cameron , Brookes Victoria 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe widespread activity of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in previously unaffected regions of eastern and southern Australia in 2022 represents the most significant local arbovirus emergency in almost 50 years. Japanese encephalitis virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and maintained in wild ardeid birds and amplified in pigs, the latter of which suffer significant reproductive losses as a result of infection. The landscape of JEV outbreak risk in mainland Australia is almost entirely unknown, particularly in the eastern and southern parts of the country where the virus has not been previously documented. Although other areas with endemic JEV circulation in the Indo-Pacific region have demonstrated the importance of wild waterbird-livestock interface in agricultural-wetland mosaics, no such investigation has yet determined the configuration of pathogenic landscapes for Australia. Moreover, the recent emergence in Australia has followed substantial precipitation and temperature anomalies associated with the La Niña phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation. This study investigated the landscape epidemiology of JEV outbreaks in Australian piggeries recorded between January and April of 2022 to determine the influence of ardeid habitat suitability, hydrogeography, hydrology, land cover and La Niña-associated climate anomalies in demarcating risk. Outbreaks of JEV in domestic pigs were associated with ardeid species richness, agricultural and riparian landscape mosaics, hydrological flow accumulation, and grasslands. This study has identified the composition and configuration of landscape features that delineated risk for piggeries during the 2022 emergence of JEV in Australia. Although preliminary, these findings can inform actionable strategies for the development of new One Health JEV surveillance specific to the needs of Australia.
Specimen-displacement correction for powder X-ray diffraction in Debye–Scherrer geometry with a flat area detector
Authors: Hulbert Benjamin S. , Kriven Waltraud M. 
Published: December 2022

The effect of small changes in the specimen-to-detector distance on the unit-cell parameters is examined for synchrotron powder diffraction in Debye–Scherrer (transmission) geometry with a flat area detector. An analytical correction equation is proposed to fix the shift in 2θ values due to specimen capillary displacement. This equation does not require the use of an internal reference material, is applied during the Rietveld refinement step, and is analogous to the specimen-displacement correction equations for Bragg–Brentano and curved-detector Debye–Scherrer geometry experiments, but has a different functional form. The 2θ correction equation is compared with another specimen-displacement correction based on the use of an internal reference material in which new integration and calibration parameters of area-detector images are determined. Example data sets showing the effect of a 3.3 mm specimen displacement on the unit-cell parameters for 25°C CeO2, including both types of displacement correction, are described. These experiments were performed at powder X-ray diffraction beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source II at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.

Published: December 2022

PurposeMany employees experience a “locked at the job” situation and are not satisfied with their current job and at the same time, perceive limited job opportunities. This study examines the process that individuals who experience locked at the job go through and the coping mechanisms individuals use.Design/methodology/approachA total of Thirty in-depth interviews were conducted. Of the participants, 12 were locked at the job at the time of the interview and 18 participants experienced locked at the job in the past.FindingsThe authors identified three phases. Regarding the first phase “becoming locked at the job,” various individual and work environmental causes could be identified. In the second phase “being locked at the job,” the authors identified three levels: low-, medium- and high-locked individuals. Emotion-regulated coping strategies were mainly reappraisal, positive distraction and behavioral avoidance. The third phase “ending locked at the job” revealed that a locked at the job situation often comes to an end either by taking control independently or by external force. Especially, the role of the direct supervisor was decisive during the entire locked at the job process.Practical implicationsIn the practical implications, the authors suggest to discuss locked at the job throughout the entire workplace and create an open culture acknowledging that individuals may find themselves in such a situation.Originality/valueTo date, no qualitative study has been conducted before from this perspective. Therefore, it is extremely important to look at this relatively unknown phenomenon from this perspective.

Authors: Cavanagh Caitlin , Osuna Amanda , Liggett-O'Malley Roberta , Henke Marina , Cauffman Elizabeth 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated chronic disparities in income, employment and health-care access. Yet, little is known about how various sources of economic and emotional strain (i.e. caregiving, justice system involvement and documentation status) intersect during the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to understand how undocumented women in justice-involved families experienced the pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach
Surveys of 221 mothers of justice-involved youth examined differences between documented and undocumented parents in COVID-19 testing, health and economic concerns related to the pandemic and generalized anxiety.

Findings
The results revealed undocumented women were less likely to receive COVID-19 testing than documented women, despite no difference between the two groups in suspicion that they may have contracted the virus. Also, undocumented women were more concerned than documented women about losing a job, not having enough food, not having enough non-food supplies, not having access to basic utilities or internet, losing their usual childcare services and losing a loved one to COVID-19.

Originality/value
The findings highlight the vulnerability of justice-involved families who have an undocumented member and implications for long-term solutions to address these disparities are discussed.

Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to determine the intellectual structure of cross-listing studies and suggests a road map for future research in this field.Design/methodology/approachA step-by-step procedure was carried out. With the help of a defined search string, 580 articles from reputed journals have been retrieved from the Scopus database. Bibliographic coupling and keyword analysis were executed to understand the current research scenario and future research directions in this research field. In addition, R Studio combined with VOSviewer was employed to analyse and visualise the data.FindingsThe results provide a deeper insight into publication trends, most prolific countries, institutions and journals in the area of cross-listing. The highest collaboration was observed between the authors in the USA and Canada. Moreover, the results contradict Bradford's and Lotka's laws. A thorough review of the literature identifies five clusters in this domain. Finally, keyword analysis offers a future road map in cross-listing research.Originality/valueResearchers have shown greater interest in cross-listing topics over the past decades. Even though the research volume on this subject is increasing, the current retrospective is still insufficient. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to provide valuable insights to practitioners, academicians, and prospective researchers about the intellectual structure of cross-listing and also offers future avenues in this research field through bibliometric analysis.
Corporate immunity during crises and pandemics: does ESG matter? Literature review and future prospects
Authors: Mounir Hadeer , Ali Heba 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis research aims at synthesizing the existing body of literature on the role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) during the Covid-19 global pandemic, identifying the research agenda and perspectives on the role of ESG during times of economic turbulences and pointing to gaps and future research directions in this area.Design/methodology/approachA literature review of academic articles that focus on the role of ESG investments during the Covid-19 pandemic is conducted. These studies are identified based on searching/containing the keywords “ESG”, “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)”, “Sustainability” and “Sustainable Finance” in combination with one or more of the following terms: “Covid-19”, “Pandemic” “and Crisis”. Then, the authors explore the key directions/themes in these papers, and highlight the main gaps and areas that are evolving as future research opportunities.FindingsThe empirical findings provide overall compelling evidence in support of the role of ESG during times of crisis, especially when it comes to stock risk and volatility. For example, several studies report that ESG stocks are associated with superior stock performance (higher stock returns and firm value) during the pandemic, while other studies report that ESG act as a risk protection tool during times of crisis, as they document that ESG stocks are associated with lower volatility and lower downside risk during the Covid-19 crisis.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors knowledge, no review of the literature on the role that ESG plays during crises and pandemics has been conducted before. Thus, it fulfills this research gap in the literature.
When historically cultural and creative products meet AR: the effect of augmented reality–based product display on consumers’ product evaluation
Authors: Xu Lan , Zhao Shuangshuang , Chen Quan , Cui Nan , He Jingting 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
Augmented reality (AR), an innovative interactive technology that can realize the synchronization and integration of virtual and reality, has been widely used in commodity displays and museum exhibitions. However, few studies have examined the effectiveness of AR-based product display in the context of historically cultural and creative product (HCCP) marketing. This study aims to focus on whether and how the application of AR technology to the HCCP display will influence consumers’ product evaluation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses three experiments to examine the impact of an AR-based product display on consumers’ evaluation of HCCPs. In experiments 1 and 2, the researchers compared the consumer’s evaluation of HCCPs under the AR-based product display condition and two other display conditions (i.e. 3D model display and photographic display) and examined the mediating role of perceived authenticity in the evaluation process. Experiment 3 tested the moderating effect of the availability of artistic detail information on weakening the negative impact of AR-based product display on the evaluation of HCCPs.

Findings
This study found that using AR-based displays harms consumers’ evaluation of HCCPs by impairing perceived authenticity. The spatial-temporal cues of real-time circumstances impede consumers’ processing of the historical attributes of the product. The dynamic AR-based display makes it hard for consumers to build the product’s connection with historical prototypes. Thus, consumers’ perception of the authenticity of HCCP is reduced. Providing artistic details during the presentation makes artistic attributes more prominent than historical attributes, allowing consumers to pay more attention to the sensory experience caused by the artistic design instead of the spatial-temporal cues of the product. At this point, the negative impact of AR-based product display on the evaluation of HCCPs will be attenuated.

Originality/value
First, this study shows the adverse effects of AR-based product displays in the field of HCCP marketing. AR-based product display degrades product evaluations when the displayed product has historical attributes. Second, this study extends the perceived authenticity theory to the technological experience context and establishes a theoretical connection with the AR literature. Third, this study explores the multiple characteristics of HCCPs. The historical attributes are the central attribute of HCCPs, leading consumers to perceive lower sense of authenticity due to the conflict with real-time spatiotemporal cues risen from the AR-based display. However, the artistic attributes, which are beyond the limitation of time and space, will attenuate this conflict when they become prominent.
Do you see my effort? An investigation of the relationship between e-government service quality and trust in government
Authors: Alsarraf Hani A. , Aljazzaf Salman , Ashkanani Ahmad M. 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
Electronic government (e-government) has been suggested as an important tool to improve public services and enhance citizens’ trust in government. Several studies have examined the relationship between e-government service quality, satisfaction and trust in government with conflicting results. This conflict reveals the need for additional examination of the process relating e-government service quality to trust in government. This study aims to introduce a theoretical approach that considers a crucial factor, which is perceived government effort. The model proposes that perceived e-government service quality first leads to satisfaction, which in turn increases perceived effort that finally translates into trust in government.

Design/methodology/approach
This study proposes and tests a conceptual model that examines the relationship between e-government service quality, satisfaction, perceived effort and trust in government. The model is tested using mediated regression analyses and Hayes’s PROCESS macro. Data were collected from an online survey of 723 individuals who interacted with e-government services in Kuwait.

Findings
The results supported the proposed theoretical model and particularly confirmed the mediating role of perceived effort in the link between e-government service quality and trust in government.

Research limitations/implications
The findings improve the understanding of the behavioral process linking satisfaction with citizen’s trust in the government.

Originality/value
The model introduces a crucial yet previously overlooked factor to the trust-building effect of e-government, which is perceived effort. This factor is particularly important in electronic services that inherently lack face-to-face interaction between citizens and government representatives.
