AbstractBackground and aimsAlthough the co‐occurrence of cannabis and depression is well established, less is known about the temporal sequence of cannabis use and depression. The present study had three main aims: to test a symptom‐driven pathway in which depression may drive increases in cannabis use, to test a substance‐induced pathway in which cannabis use may drive increases in depression and to assess a shared vulnerability model assessing associations between individuals who have (and have not) experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).DesignData are from an ongoing, longitudinal, cohort study (n = 2234). Data were set up in an accelerated longitudinal design from age 17 to 24 years.SettingInitial sample was recruited from Southern California, USA. The majority of participants still live in Southern California.ParticipantsOn average, participants were aged 18 years at wave 8, with more than half identifying as female (54.3%; n = 1350). Most participants identified as Hispanic (1127; 45.4%), followed by non‐Hispanic white (510; 20.5%), Asian (503; 20.2%), multi‐racial/other (284; 11.4%) and non‐Hispanic black (60; 2.2%).MeasurementsPrimary outcomes were past‐month days of cannabis use and depression symptoms [patient health questionnaire (PHQ)‐8]. The Adverse Childhood Experiences scale was used as our main grouping measure.FindingsIn the full sample, we showed that prior levels of depression symptoms were associated with a decrease in cannabis use [opposite to the proposed symptom driven model; B = −0.33 (−0.58, −0.09)]. Dynamic coupling parameters noted individuals who evidenced greater increases in cannabis use between two prior ages reported greater increases in depressive symptoms between subsequent ages [support for a substance‐induced pathway; B = 0.53 (0.18, 0.89)]. Similar to the overall sample, for those who had not experienced ACEs, as cannabis use increased we saw a steady increase in depression [support for a substance induced pathway; B = 0.14 (0.04, 0.29)]. However, for those who experienced ACEs, as cannabis use increased we saw a consistent decrease in depression [opposite to the proposed substance‐induced pathway; B = −0.18 (−0.28, −0.08)].ConclusionThere is mixed support for both symptom‐driven and substance‐induced pathways between cannabis use and depression.
Coping with side‐selling in cooperatives: A members’ perspective

Published: January 2023

AbstractA central collective action issue in agricultural cooperatives is the free‐rider problem, a prevalent form of which arises when members systematically side‐sell to competing chain actors. Despite the plethora of studies on side‐selling's antecedents, little is known about side‐selling's actual consequences, particularly from the standpoint of cooperative members. In two studies, we aim to deliver a member‐based assessment of side‐selling's influence on critical cooperative benefits and explore possible solutions. In the first study, with survey data from 128 members of four fruit cooperatives in Greece, we show that side‐selling has a negative effect on perceived cooperative benefits, even in the presence of other collective action issues (e.g., the influence costs problem). In the same study, we posit and demonstrate that side‐selling's aversive impact on cooperative benefits can be appeased when members think that their cooperative's transparency regarding cooperative activities is high. In the second study, with interview data from 20 members, we find that different punitive (e.g., expelling members) and collaborative (e.g., fostering trust) solutions are considered effective. Accordingly, our article advances extant knowledge of an issue that strikes at the heart of cooperative activity and offers valuable insights to cooperative decision‐makers seeking to confront it.
Seoul in India's (new) middle order convergence
Authors: Panda Jagannath 
Published: January 2023

AbstractAs both India and South Korea build their ties on the basis of democratic partnership and ASEAN centrality, the need for Seoul to emerge as a strong partner in India's Indo‐Pacific initiatives is vital. India's quest for a more serious multilateral network is continuously growing in the security sphere, and Korea's induction in the same via the “Plus” framework of the quadrilateral hints at potential for successful connects with other multilateral frameworks or bodies like the AIIB to balance economic assistance and development. Ultimately, the natural upgradation of India‐South Korea relations relies intensely upon the degree to which Seoul will embrace the Indo‐Pacific account that India's AEP is pitching. The merging of soft and hard power by the middle and rising power is critical to India to ensure a rules‐based international order; finding a formal place for Seoul in its Indo‐Pacific prism must emerge as a necessary focus of New Delhi.
The role of working memory updating and capacity in children's mathematical abilities: A developmental cascade model
Authors: Hu Qiong , Liang Zhanhong , Zhou Yanlin , Feng Shanshan , Zhang Qiong 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundPrevious studies indicated that working memory (WM) updating and WM capacity play essential roles in mathematical ability. However, it is unclear whether WM capacity mediates the effect of WM updating on mathematics, and whether the cascading effects vary with different mathematical domains.AimsThe current study aims to explore the longitudinal mediating role of WM capacity between WM updating and mathematical performance, and how the relations change with the age and domains.SampleA total of 131 Chinese first‐graders participated the study.MethodsParticipants were required to complete tasks on WM updating and WM capacity in Grade 1 and Grade 2, as well as paper‐and‐pencil tests on mathematics achievement in Grade 3. The role of WM updating and capacity in the development of pupil's mathematical achievement was examined.ResultsResults revealed that verbal WM updating in Grade 1 predicted basic arithmetic and logical‐visuospatial ability in Grade 3 via its cascading effect on verbal WM capacity in Grade 2. Moreover, visuospatial WM updating in Grade 1 predicted visuospatial WM capacity in Grade 2. Visuospatial WM capacity in Grade 1 predicted logical‐visuospatial ability in Grade 3 instead of basic arithmetic ability in Grade 3.ConclusionsThe findings suggested that WM updating exerts effect on pupil's mathematical performance via WM capacity, meanwhile, this effect depends on children's mathematics domain.
Real‐world assessment of treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with relapsed‐refractory multiple myeloma in an Italian haematological tertiary care centre

Published: January 2023

SummaryDespite significant improvements in therapeutic options, multiple myeloma (MM) patients experience a series of remissions and relapses requiring further lines of therapy (LOTs). We analysed treatment pathways, attrition rates (ARs) and refractoriness patterns across LOTs in 413 MM patients treated from 2011 and 2021. Across LOT‐2 to LOT‐5 ARs were 26%, 27%, 34% and 37.5%, being 50% for subsequent LOTs. In univariate analysis age over 65 years, international staging system (ISS) II/III, more than two comorbidities, no transplant and no maintenance therapy were significantly associated with AR but regression analysis selected only age over 65 years and more than 2 comorbidities. Median progression‐free survival (PFS) was 40.5, 19.5, 10.3, 6 and 4.7 months from LOT‐1 to LOT‐5. Lenalidomide‐refractory patients, among those relapsed after LOT‐1, were 26% and 64.5% respectively, in patients starting therapy before 2019 versus in or after 2021. In the two cohorts, 57.5% and 85.5% of patients relapsed after LOT‐2 were lenalidomide‐refractory. Among patients not relapsed from LOT‐1, 80% are receiving continuous lenalidomide and could become lenalidomide‐refractory, whereas 91% and 51.5% of patients in LOT‐2 could become potential lenalidomide‐ and daratumumab‐refractory respectively. In our analysis the rate of patients reaching subsequent LOTs was higher than previously reported and the increase in early refractoriness would require faster and more efficient treatment licensing processes.
Environmental and anthropogenic variables influence the distribution of a habitat specialist (Sylvilagus aquaticus) in a large urban forest
Authors: Stevens Thomas K. , Hale Amanda M. , Williams Dean A. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractConservation of habitat fragments, including those embedded in an urban matrix which typically support fewer species than those in other landscape contexts, is important for combatting the global extinction crisis. Because urban avoiding species are often absent from habitat fragments within an urban matrix, studies of their distributions in these habitats are rare, and therefore the mechanisms by which species are excluded from habitat fragments within an urban matrix are poorly understood. We investigated the impacts of urbanization in the matrix (e.g., noise pollution, light pollution, invasive species) on the distribution of an urban avoiding species, the swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus) in the largest urban forest fragment in the United States. We used the location of swamp rabbit latrines and presence‐background species distribution modeling to reveal the impacts of urbanization in the matrix on swamp rabbit distribution while accounting for spatial heterogeneity in naturally occurring environmental variables. Swamp rabbits used mature forest, heterogeneously structured forest, and moderately inundated forest, and they avoided areas of high (Sus scrofa) hog activity at our study site. Our findings provide novel information to conservation practitioners and urban planners attempting to conserve high priority species in habitat fragments as urbanization continues to spread.
Global Value Chain Participation and the Labour Share: Industry‐level Evidence from Emerging Economies
Authors: Guschanski Alexander , Onaran Özlem 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTParticipation in global value chains (GVCs) has been proposed as a central means for emerging economies to develop and technologically upgrade. However, the effects of GVCs on income distribution in the global South remain underexplored. This article presents an econometric analysis of the determinants of the labour share in seven emerging economies for the period 1995–2014. Drawing on industry‐level data from global input‐output tables, the authors focus on how GVC participation — in particular offshoring of production from advanced to emerging economies — affects the labour share of different skill groups within manufacturing and service industries. They also estimate the effects of GVCs on productivity, real wages and the capital–value added ratio, to shed further light on the channels through which GVCs affect the labour share. In both industry groups, findings show that integration into GVCs with advanced economies has a negative effect on the labour share in emerging economies, particularly for medium‐skilled workers. In contrast, higher union density and government consumption spending have positive effects on the labour share. Thus, labour in emerging economies loses out relative to capital as production becomes more integrated across borders.
Population, abortion, contraception, and the relation between biopolitics, bioethics, and biolaw in Iran
Authors: Aramesh Kiarash 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe Islamic government of Iran recently passed and announced a new law titled “Rejuvenation of the Population and Protection of the Family.” This legislation is a noteworthy example of biopolitics‐influenced biolaw. In terms of abortion, contraception, prenatal screening, and population control, this law clearly contrasts with women's fundamental rights and freedoms and has significant health‐related consequences for different sectors of the population. A historical review of the population policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran shows the occurrence of multiple abrupt and radical changes in such policies over the past four decades. This new law, promoted by religious biopolitics, is the most recent example, and places stringent limits on abortion. According to it, all decisions concerning abortion must be made in courts rather than in health clinics. Such courts are typically presided over by male religious scholars. This law also limits prenatal screening to the degree that will increase the rate of genetic defects, especially in the population's lower socioeconomic strata. By strictly limiting access to contraception, this law will increase the rate of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. This paper argues that such an influence of biopolitics on biolaw contrasts with the principles of bioethics. Still, Iran's current institution of bioethics cannot address it effectively. Therefore, a new model of interaction between bioethics, biopolitics, and biolaw is needed to prevent the detrimental consequences of such pieces of legislation. Such a paradigm shift is demanded by the current “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement of the Iranian people.
Financial frictions, bank intermediation and monetary policy transmission in India
Authors: Banerjee Shesadri , Behera Harendra 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDo the different types of financial friction have differential implications for monetary transmission in emerging economies? We investigate this question using India as the country for analysis. We adopt a New Keynesian business cycle model with bank intermediation, extend it by the Indian economy‐specific features and validate with the data. The baseline model explains the co‐movements of interest rates, incomplete pass‐through and sluggish adjustment mechanism of the macro‐financial variables for a policy interest rate shock. It identifies the collateral‐constrained, financially excluded households and low proportion of savers as the primary sources of frictions causing weak monetary transmission.
Power concentration and bottom‐up information flow: Evidence from Chinese municipal congresses
Authors: Yang Wenhui 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPower concentration may impede bottom‐up information flow. This article argues that strong ruling party control may facilitate the power concentration of ruling elites, which breeds reticence and impedes bottom‐up information flow. Using Chinese municipal congresses as a case, I establish that strong ruling party control significantly reduces the number of policy proposals, suggestions, and criticisms from legislators. The reduction effect of ruling party control on upward information is more salient when party leaders are expected to gain power in the future. Further analysis rules out alternative mechanisms: leadership style, composition of legislators, and local grievance.
Engaging participants with research findings: A rights‐informed approach

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundSharing research findings with participants is recognized as an ethical imperative for the research community. However, most discourse on this topic in mainstream public health takes a paternalistic approach, with researchers retaining the power to choose if, when, and how research findings are shared.MethodsFieldwork took place from August 2018 to January 2019 and again from August 2019 to December 2019 among two communities in the south Indian state of Kerala. We integrated participant engagement with study findings into the research protocol, using various collaborative strategies identified during the design stage, forming partnerships with participants and determining appropriate forms of dissemination for different participant groups during fieldwork.ResultsFindings from previous research projects undertaken with these communities by other researchers had not been shared with them. This was interpreted by the communities as researchers not being interested in making a difference to their situation. In the current study, building reciprocal relationships that minimized power disparities, and providing outputs in tailored formats that promoted active engagement were key factors that enabled participants to engage with results. This engagement added value by enabling us to co‐develop study recommendations. This process also enabled the community to have ownership of the results and use them to advocate for health system change to improve access to health care.ConclusionResearch should be transformative for participating communities. Participants have a right to know the results of the research they participate in since their knowledge provides the research data which can in turn promote community change. Operationalising this requires researchers to build partnerships with participants and their communities from the outset. The role of participants must be reimagined, and adequate resources should be built into the research process. This is both socially responsible and ethical, but also improves the impact and legitimacy of research for the participants and the communities that they represent.Patient or Public ContributionParticipants of our research contributed to the design of various aspects of the engagement processes including the venue, the formats used for engagement, interpretation of the findings and recommendations from our research.

AimsOssifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare enigmatic tumor of uncertain differentiation that can be classified as typical, atypical, and malignant subtypes based on cellularity, nuclear grade, and mitotic activity. The majority of OFMTs, regardless of the risk of malignancy, harbor genetic translocations. We report two malignant OFMTs, including one with evidence of dedifferentiation, with novel genefusions.Methods and ResultsCase 1 was a 63‐year‐old male with a dedifferentiated OFMT arising in the right wrist, while case 2 was a 41‐year‐old male with a malignant OFMT presenting as a posterior mediastinal mass. Case 2 showed multifocal expression with EMA and synaptophysin, while desmin and S100 were absent in both tumors. NGS sequencing studies detected PHF1::FOXR1 and PHF1::FOXR2 gene fusions in cases 1 and 2, respectively. Despite aggressive regimens, both progressed with wide spread metastases resulting in death within six years of diagnosis.ConclusionsWe expand the genetic spectrum of OFMTs with two novel gene fusions, PHF1::FOXR1 and PHF1::FOXR2. These cases confirm the previously reported tendencies for OFMTs with rare variant fusions to demonstrate malignant behavior, unusual morphology, and non‐specific immunophenotype.

SummaryFood fortification with whole or de‐hulled pulse flours is a challenge since food products usually have inferior structure and sensory characteristics. In this study, wheat flour was substituted with whole or de‐hulled pea flour (20 wt%) processed under pre‐treatments of microwave and roasting to prepare novel Chinese steamed bread (CSB), respectively, and the effect on pasting property of the dough, and its influence on physical quality, sensory attributes, and nutritional profile (amino acids, dietary fibre, and mineral micronutrients) of the resulting CSB was investigated. The addition of pretreated pea flour increased the peak, retraction and final viscosity of the dough and increased the specific volume and decreased the hardness of the final product due to the enhanced pasting characteristics, compared to the control. Microwave and roasting presented different patterns affecting gas cell structure, amino acid composition, dietary fibre content, and essential minerals, depending to a large extent on the milling fraction. Among all the treatments, microwave‐treated de‐hulled pea flour was more effective in modifying the cellular structure, improving amino acid composition and dietary fibre content of the resultant CSBs. This study offers useful knowledge for creating functional CSB that satisfies the needs for both sensory appeal and nutritional balance.
Understanding the ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of monoclinic RETaO4 from acoustic‐optical phonon anti‐crossing property and a comparison with ZrO2

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe low thermal conductivity (κ) has a significant impact on the application of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Rare‐earth tantalates (RETaO4) are one kind of the most promising TBC materials with low thermal conductivity. However, the underlying mechanism of low κ in RETaO4 has remained a mystery. In this work, the thermal transport properties of monoclinic (m)‐RETaO4 (RE = Y, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er) compared with ZrO2 are conducted to reveal the mechanism of low lattice thermal conductivity in the former compounds using highly accurate phonon Boltzmann transport equation combined with first‐principles calculations. The predicted κ is in good agreement with experimental data, which proves that this work is convincing. The result shows that ErTaO4 has the lowest κ (1.37 W m−1 K−1 at 1600 K), which is much lower than ZrO2 (2.49 W m−1 K−1 at 1600 K). It is found that the strong anharmonicity and large scattering rate in m‐RETaO4 are mainly derived from strong ionic bonding in the crystal structure, and strong anti‐crossing property of acoustic‐optical phonon branches in phonon dispersion. Both mechanisms can effectively reduce the phonon group velocity and increase the phonon scattering rates of m‐RETaO4, leading to lower κ than ZrO2. Fortunately, two descriptors, including distortion degree and stretching force constant, are suggested to be used to quickly screen the doping or multicomponent RETaO4 with relatively lower κ, which could also be extended to other potential TBCs systems, that is, rare‐earth silicate, rare‐earth cerate, and so on.
Isolating the effects of thixotropy in geopolymer pastes

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe rheological properties of potassium‐based geopolymers were investigated through a series of experiments intended to isolate the influence of shear rate, recovery time, and shear ramping on thixotropy for a greater understanding of geopolymer thixotropic properties within the context of the geopolymer setting reaction. It is shown that for thixotropic disruption to occur a critical shear rate of 100 s−1 must be reached or surpassed, full thixotropic restructuring occurs at around 90–100 min of total undisturbed rest time, and that reaching a state of full thixotropic disturbance heavily depends on subjected processing parameters. In addition, a consistent crossover between the storage and loss modulus within 1–3 min of oscillation during cyclical oscillatory measurements greatly indicates the repeatability and reversibility of thixotropy in geopolymers and the potential for tailorable viscosity. Overall, it is found that geopolymer pastes exhibit strong evidence of thixotropy, which is favorable for additive manufacturing, and that allotted rest time before shear and shear rate greatly influence the overall rheological properties.
