Published: April 2023

AbstractThe advancement of information technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and several miniaturize equipment's enhances the healthcare field that provides real‐time patient monitoring, which helps to provide medication anywhere and anytime. However, accurate detection is still a challenging task for which an effective classification model is introduced in this research. The proposed method is the Enhanced Hunt optimization based Deep convolutional neural network (Enhanced Hunt based‐Deep CNN), in which the Enhanced Hunt optimization algorithm (EHOA) is developed by fusing the hunting habit of the predator and the herding characteristics of herding dog for enhancing the global optimal convergence. Here, the ECG signal from the individuals is collected using the IoT network and stored in the Hospital server, which is accessed by the doctor when requested, the classification is performed using the Enhanced Hunt based‐Deep CNN and the performance revealed the effectiveness with the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 95.33%, 94.92%, and 97.57%.
Political geography and the value relevance of real options
Authors: Douidar Shaddy , Pantzalis Christos , Park Jung Chul 
Published: April 2023

AbstractCorporate political geography influences the value of real options because proximity to political power can trigger greater exposure to uncertainty and/or more growth opportunities. Our empirical tests reveal that although areas closely aligned with the president experience a boost in real options’ value relevance, this effect is significant only among the majority of firms that are neither politically connected nor reliant on government contracts. Our findings are consistent with the notion that political connections essentially eliminate policy uncertainty (render real options value‐irrelevant), whereas government dependence additionally inhibits investment in growth opportunities (ability to exploit volatility) from proximity to political power.

Published: April 2023

AbstractGlobally, it has been reported that groundwater contains elevated levels of Fe and Mn. However, the risk of prolonged exposure to groundwater with elevated Fe and Mn was often ignored due to their much lower carcinogenic risk. To assess the human health risk of elevated Fe and Mn intake in groundwater, 1863 groundwater samples from the Yangtze catchment, a densely populated and economically prosperous area of China, were collected in this study. The spatial distributions of Fe and Mn in groundwater were investigated by the geographic information system (GIS) and their health risk assessment was done. The results indicated that 38.6% and 50.3% of the groundwater samples were defined as “elevated/high” levels for Fe and Mn, respectively, exceeding 0.3 and 0.1 mg/L (World Health Organization guidelines). Moreover, in the groundwater of Yangtze Catchment, the order of Fe and Mn contents is followed by upper< middle< lower. Based on the calculated hazard index (HI), HIadult and HIchild were in a range of 0‐4.91 and 0‐11.07, respectively. There was an area of 3,483 and 35,523 km2 with a non‐carcinogenic risk from Fe and Mn, correspondingly. The numbers of affected adults and children were about 3,018,066 and 2,775,007, respectively. It means that 0.20% and 2.00% of the study area or 0.64% and 0.59% of the total population will suffer health risks from Fe and Mn intake in groundwater, respectively. Therefore, a significant basis for groundwater safety in the Yangtze catchment and similar areas was provided in this study.
AN APOLOGIA FOR ARTHUR LOVEJOY'S LONG‐RANGE APPROACH TO THE HISTORY OF IDEAS
Authors: Mouton Nico 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACTArthur Lovejoy's long‐range approach to the history of ideas is little appreciated and largely abandoned. The list of Lovejoy's supposed sins is long. His critics have charged that, among other things, he treated ideas as timeless entities with essences that are independent of individual thinkers, separate from specific texts, isolated from immediate contexts, and insulated from intellectual change. This article defends Lovejoy against such attacks and argues that his approach is still viable and valuable.
Life in the hole: The impact of solitary confinement in the United States
Authors: Tadros Eman , Carufel Amber , Smith Jennifer 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAn estimated 84,000 incarcerated individuals face solitary confinement in the United States criminal justice system. Solitary confinement is seen as a cruel punishment, with lasting effects, for incarcerated individuals. Human rights organisations, medical associations, policymakers, and incarcerated people have argued for the discontinuation of solitary confinement. After being in solitary confinement for an extended period, incarcerated people can suffer worsening and future mental health issues, physical health concerns and issues with relationships during and after serving their time in prison. This article reviews the available research and the purpose of the article is to show the detrimental effects solitary confinement has on incarcerated individuals. Clinical and policy implications for prisons that use solitary confinement are discussed to dissuade usage.

Published: April 2023

SummaryReal‐time monitoring of harmful bacteria in the process of feed fermentation is an important step to control and optimise feed quality. Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) can effectively determine the total amount of pathogenic bacteria but does not distinguish between active and inactive bacteria. In this work, propidium monoazide dyes (PMA) were combined with qPCR technology to explore the changes of microflora during the fermentation of artificially contaminated feed. The results indicated that the Cycle Threshold (Ct) values of sample detected by PMA‐qPCR were all higher than the results of qPCR. PMA could effectively nullify the influence of dead bacteria in the detection of viable bacteria. It was found that the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Shigella flexneri, and Staphylococcus aureus were inhibited during the fermentation process of soybean meal feed with the mortality rates were 99.89, 95.07 and 97.73%, respectively. However, the growth of beneficial bacteria were not affected by the presence of harmful bacteria after 60 days of storage. These results suggest that anaerobically fermented feed is a promising substitute for antibiotics in animal feed and using PMA‐qPCR for real‐time monitoring of harmful bacteria in fermented feed will further improve the safety risk assessment of fermented feed.

AbstractAimThis study aimed to explore the association between medication literacy and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients.BackgroundBlood pressure control is a challenge for global health systems. Medication literacy is essential for medication self‐management in hypertensive patients and a basis for managers to develop comprehensive intervention strategies for hypertension medication use.DesignA cross‐sectional observational study was conducted.MethodsA total of 378 hypertensive patients was selected by convenience sampling from two tertiary hospitals and four community health service centres from December 2021 to January 2022 in Changsha, China. Associations between medication literacy and blood pressure control were identified with chi‐square, independent samples t‐tests and logistic regression analyses.ResultsThe average medication literacy score of the hypertensive patients investigated was low. Over a third of patients had uncontrolled blood pressure. Logistic regression analysis showed that medication literacy was an influencing factor for blood pressure control rate in hypertensive patients.ConclusionsMedication literacy and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients was poor. Medication literacy was a facilitator of blood pressure control so improving medication literacy may be of value to improve blood pressure control in hypertensive patients.
The role of courage and interactional justice in emotional exhaustion of emergency nurses: A cross‐sectional study in Turkey
Authors: Koksal Kemal , Mert Ibrahim Sani 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAimThe study aimed to understand the role of courage and interactional justice in the emotional exhaustion of emergency nurses.BackgroundNurses judge managers' interactions with them. Rude and inappropriate interactions of administrators with nurses are among the reasons that increase the emotional exhaustion of nurses. A courageous nurse can diminish the negative effect of injustice on emotional exhaustion by voicing this unfairness.IntroductionIncreasing nurses' emotional exhaustion due to working conditions is a fundamental problem in the health sector. Perception of justice and courage, studied in organizational psychology, are significant antecedents of emotional exhaustion. Individuals with high courage are more likely to seek support and cope with job demands.MethodsUsing the cross‐sectional method, the authors performed descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses to test the hypotheses. Data were obtained from 317 emergency nurses currently working in four public hospitals as emergency nurses or have worked in the last three years.ResultsInteractional justice was significantly and negatively related to emotional exhaustion but was positively related to workplace social courage. High courage strengthens the negative relationship between interactional justice and emotional exhaustion.ConclusionNurses with high courage can reduce emotional exhaustion by raising a voice to request more respectful, honest, polite, and appropriate communication when their managers do not treat them fairly.Implications for nursing practice and policiesManagers' supportive interventions are necessary and helpful in alleviating stressors that cause emotional exhaustion in nurses. The authorities should see and accept managerial unfairness in health, and steps should be taken toward a solution. There is an urgent need to create a communication environment where nurses can courageously share their problems.
Gender, race, and job satisfaction of law graduates: Intersectional evidence from the National Survey of College Graduates
Authors: Hersch Joni 
Published: April 2023

AbstractStudies typically find that lawyers have high job satisfaction and that women are not less satisfied than are men. But racial differences as well as gender differences by race or ethnicity in satisfaction may be masked because most lawyers identify as racially White. To examine whether job satisfaction differs by race and whether gender and race/ethnicity have an intersectional relation to job satisfaction, I use data on nearly 13,000 law graduates drawn from six waves of the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) conducted between 2003 and 2019. The NSCG uniquely provides a large enough sample to examine intersectionality in job satisfaction of law graduates as well as to compare satisfaction of lawyers to those employed in other occupations. Job satisfaction is strikingly low among Black women and Asian women law graduates. Asian women lawyers have satisfaction similar to White men lawyers but substantially lower satisfaction if not employed as a lawyer. Black women have substantially lower satisfaction in either employment situation. The lower satisfaction of Asian and Black women law graduates is not due to differences in personal characteristics, family status or background, job characteristics, or differences in values.
The determinants of stock–bond return correlations
Authors: Sarwar Ghulam 
Published: April 2023

AbstractI study the options‐implied market risks that affect US stock–bond correlations from 2007 to 2021. I discover that US stock and bond market uncertainty, stock market tail risk, and global credit‐default risk are dominant contributors to changing stock–bond correlations during the global financial crisis (GFC) period. However, these market risks collectively contribute much less to time‐varying correlations in the post‐GFC period. Furthermore, stock–bond correlations rise in times of rising US and global bond market risks. Rising stock market uncertainty raises stock–bond correlations in the GFC period but lowers them in the post‐GFC period. My results disentangle the risks of stock and bond markets and show that equity tail risk, bond market risk, and stock market uncertainty are dominant factors in changing stock–bond diversification benefits in periods of market turmoil.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study uses bibliometric analysis to assess Journal of International Financial Management & Accounting (JIFMA's) evolution between 1989 and 2021. In this retrospective review, we investigate the journal's performance, authorship trends, and intellectual structure. The journal's international focus is primarily on cross‐country studies and the effects of country‐level factors on various accounting and finance outcomes. The collaborative network of JIFMA's authors has also grown substantially consistent with rise in research collaboration in general across the world. We identify nine major themes making up JIFMA's knowledge structure: (1) value relevance of accounting information relating to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, (2) voluntary corporate disclosure, (3) corporate use of financial derivatives, (4) corporate governance, (5) equity valuation, (6) stock return seasonalities, foreign equity ownership, and cost of capital, (7) earnings announcements and pecking order behavior, (8) triple‐bottom‐line disclosures, and (9) managerial ownership and earnings management. Our findings will likely benefit JIFMA's editorial board and other journal stakeholders including future researchers.
Breastfeeding Aversion Response (BAR): A Descriptive Study
Authors: Morns Melissa A. , Steel Amie E. , McIntyre Erica , Burns Elaine 
Published: April 2023

IntroductionFor many women, breastfeeding their infant is an enjoyable experience. Some, however, have reported negative sensations such as an overwhelming need to unlatch while breastfeeding. This phenomenon is known as breastfeeding aversion response (BAR). The incidence of BAR is unknown and literature on this experience is limited. This study therefore aimed to expand the understanding of BAR using an online survey targeting those who have experienced feelings of aversion while breastfeeding.MethodsAn online survey was distributed within Australia using purposive sampling to those who self‐identified as experiencing BAR. This survey contained 5 sections: (1) demographics and health‐related characteristics, (2) breastfeeding difficulties and onset of BAR, (3) the experience of BAR, (4) birth and breastfeeding experience, and (5) coping with BAR and support. Questions were included to test the generalizability of previous qualitative findings on BAR.ResultsParticipants (N = 210) predominantly were aged between 25 and 35 years (69.2%), were in a relationship (96.2%), and had one child (80%). BAR was more commonly experienced when feeding the first‐born child (44.8%), breastfeeding while pregnant (31%), or tandem feeding (10%). The feelings of aversion were experienced by most respondents throughout the feed while the child was latched (76.7%). More than half (52.4%) of participants reported that BAR had caused them to end breastfeeding sessions before their child was ready to stop feeding. Almost half of the participants (48.6%) reported receiving no support from a health care provider for BAR.DiscussionThis study contributes new information about the experience of BAR, including when it commonly happens and who may be at greater risk. More support is needed for women who want to breastfeed while experiencing BAR. New public health policies which promote breastfeeding are needed to help women achieve satisfying breastfeeding experiences and meet their own breastfeeding goals.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIntroductionGHK‐Cu and HA are two commonly used skin care ingredients, both of which were reported to enhance collagen synthesis. This work aims to investigate their co‐effect on collagen regulation.Materials and MethodsIn cell experiments, human dermal fibroblasts were treated by a series of GHK‐Cu and HA combinations, and the expressions of collagen I, IV, and VII were measured by qRT‐PCR. The best formula screened out from cell experiments were further studied by ex‐vivo skin model, and the content of collagen IV was quantified by immunofluorescence method.ResultsThe combination GHK‐Cu and HA was found to promote the generation of collagen I, IV, and VII. Especially, they form a synergy on collagen IV. At the ratio of 1:9, GHK‐Cu and LMW HA deliver the strongest effect to elevate collagen IV synthesis by 25.4 times in cell test and 2.03 times in ex‐vivo skin test.ConclusionThe co‐effect of GHK‐Cu and HA was revealed. Their synergy brings an insight to anti‐aging technology: choosing proper molecular weight of HA and managing its ratio with GHK‐Cu could enhance DEJ health via stimulating collagen IV synthesis.
Connections between populism and nationalism: Evidence from Jair Bolsonaro's speeches
Authors: Ricci Paolo , Venturelli Gustavo 
Published: April 2023

AbstractRecent studies have warned about the close relationship between populism and nationalism. This article offers an empirical contribution to the examination of this relationship by analysing the presence of populist and nationalist elements in the official speeches of the outgoing Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro. We make two contributions to this expanding literature. First, we show that the supposed ambiguity between populism and nationalism can be resolved by an approach that clearly separates the two concepts. Second, we find that Bolsonaro is more populist than nationalist. His populism has elements in common with other European populist leaders (attacking political parties and the political class), but he distances himself from them by presenting authoritarian traits. Nativism is completely absent (unlike in Europe), but ‘sovereignism’ (‘us’ vs. ‘other nations or institutions’) and ‘civilisationism’ (‘us’ vs. ‘minorities’) sometimes overlap with populism. We conclude that a tension exists between populism and nationalism that can endanger the ‘good’ relationship between the populist leader and their supporters. This is something that future research on populism should consider.
Three‐dimensional anatomy of the Tully monster casts doubt on its presumed vertebrate affinities

Published: April 2023

AbstractTullimonstrum gregarium, also known as the Tully monster, is a well‐known phylogenetic enigma, fossils of which have been found only in the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte. The affinities of Tullimonstrum have been debated since its discovery in 1966, because its peculiar morphology with stalked eyes and a proboscis cannot easily be compared with any known animal morphotypes. Recently, the possibility that Tullimonstrum was a vertebrate has attracted much attention, and it has been postulated that Tullimonstrum might fill a gap in the fossil record of early vertebrates, providing important insights into vertebrate evolutionary history. With the hope of resolving this debate, we collected 3D surface data from 153 specimens of Tullimonstrum using a high‐resolution laser 3D scanner and conducted x‐ray micro‐computed tomographic (μCT) analysis of stylets in the proboscis. Our investigation of the resulting comprehensive 3D morphological dataset revealed that structures previously regarded as myomeres, tri‐lobed brain, tectal cartilages and fin rays are not comparable with those of vertebrates. These results raise further doubts about its vertebrate affinities, and suggest that Tullimonstrum may have been either a non‐vertebrate chordate or a protostome.
Alpha‐1‐acid glycoprotein and its potential impact on local anesthetic dose in neonates
Authors: Linnarsson Camilla , Bartocci Marco , Larsson Björn A. , Eksborg Staffan , von Horn Henrik , Olofsson Marie Anell 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundAlpha‐1‐acid glycoprotein is an acute‐phase protein with a high affinity for amide local anesthetics. Compared to adults, neonates have lower concentrations of this glycoprotein in plasma, and are therefore at higher risk of developing local anesthetic toxicity. Alpha‐1‐acid glycoprotein concentrations rise in adults after surgery as a response to stress as well as in inflammatory conditions. Previous studies have shown that concentrations of alpha‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein in neonates vary postpartum, influenced by gestational age and mode of delivery.AimThis study aims to determine the concentrations of alpha‐1‐acid glycoprotein pre‐ and postoperatively in neonates undergoing major surgery. This information is important for determining safe and effective dosage of local anesthetic in this vulnerable group of patients.MethodsIn this prospective observational study, 25 neonates (median 3 days of age) undergoing major surgery were included. Blood sampling was performed preoperatively and at four occasions postoperatively. Alpha‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein plasma concentrations were analyzed using an immunoturbidimetric assay. Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis and Spearman ranking correlation test were used for the statistical analysis.ResultsHigher plasma concentrations of alpha‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein were found 48 h postoperatively compared to preoperatively [median (inter‐quartile range) 0.815 g L−1 (0.663–0.983 g L−1) vs. 0.300 g L−1 (0.205–0.480 g L−1 p < 0.001)], respectively. It was not possible to detect any influence of sex, postnatal age, gestational age, or delivery mode on alpha‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein concentrations in our data.ConclusionsAlpha‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein concentrations increase in neonates as a response to surgery regardless of gestational age, sex, or mode of delivery.
