Hyperfocus and offending behaviour: a systematic review
Authors: Worthington Rachel , Wheeler Suzanne 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
Hyperfocus (HF) is characterised by an intense state of concentration/focus. The purpose of this study is to explore in what ways HF has been found to contribute towards offending behaviour and what treatments have been found to be efficacious to reduce offending behaviour where HF was a contributing factor.

Design/methodology/approach
The systematic review was performed according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Papers were screened for quality appraisal and risk of bias. The initial search yielded 9,446 articles. Fifty-seven papers were deemed as meeting the inclusion criteria.

Findings
HF was noted to act as a vulnerability factor for aggression, sexual offending, radicalisation and stalking. HF was also observed in clients with psychopathy, autism, mental illness and those without a diagnosis. Thus, HF was not found to be offence or diagnosis specific. Furthermore, HF was found across males and females and adults and adolescents. The results identified themes in relation to the mechanisms by which HF may contribute to offending and suggested interventions for HF and offending.

Practical implications
Practitioners working with clients with HF currently lack evidence on the extent to which this contributes towards offending and recidivism and how HF could be addressed in interventions. Future research is needed to establish the role of HF in offending behaviour. Ideally, this should involve longitudinal data collection, retrospective analysis of data and sophisticated statistical analysis. This should also include exploration of the ways in which HF may be interconnected with offence risks/need factors which contribute towards offending. Research could inform the development of formal measurement tools for HF which are validated with norms for adult and adolescent offender samples. Practitioners should use case formulation to explore if HF represents a treatment need for clients they are working with.

Originality/value
This review noted that although HF has been postulated as being an important contributing factor to offending behaviour, few studies have tested this directly. From the limited studies available, HF was found to be relevant across different types of offences. HF was noted to contribute to offending due to neuropsychological mechanisms linked to executive functioning deficits and positive rewards associated with offending behaviour. Reasons for the lack of HF research are noted and recommendations for future research are discussed.
Shifting shapes and unknown spirits at play on the borders of the human imagination: a critical reading of the serpent-woman
Authors: Golson Emily 
Published: April 2023

PurposeThe primary purpose of this study is to determine if the main character is a shapeshifter and, if so, how does the tale contribute to shapeshifting lore.Design/methodology/approachThe focus of the study is confined to a version of the tale that appears in Jane Yolen's Folktales From Around the World (1986) and on summaries of other versions of shapeshifting tales when needed. Support for the findings is provided by an examination of the observations and rhetorical techniques employed by what appears to be an unreliable narrator and selected knowledge and practices from a variety of academic disciplines.FindingsThe research findings neither confirm nor deny that the main character is or is not a shapeshifter.Research limitations/implicationsInstead, the critical reading confirms the traditional characterization of folktales as coming from diverse folk roots and disappearing or changing as they circulate through geographical space and narrative time.Practical implicationsIt also implies that the tale has outgrown its practical and social folk roots and now extends far beyond that of traditional shapeshifting or literary folktales.Social implicationsBy bringing to light the racial and gender fears, ignorance and emotional and physical violence that lurk just below the surface of the society from which serpent-woman emerges, the study creates a haunting vision of the embedded biases that lurk just below the surface of many societies.Originality/valueTo this author's knowledge, this is the first study of this tale to appear in publication. The findings need further investigation.
Impact of digital leadership on open innovation: a moderating serial mediation model
Authors: Fatima Tasneem , Masood Afshan 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the relevant but overlooked intervening role of knowledge sharing and innovation capability between digital leadership and open innovation. This study hypothesizes that top management knowledge value (TMKV) can strengthen the relationship between digital leadership and knowledge sharing. In line with the resource- and knowledge-based views, the serial mediation model explains how organizations can achieve open innovation through knowledge sharing and innovation capability development under digital leadership.

Design/methodology/approach
The research hypotheses were tested with survey data collected in four different rounds, separated by three to four weeks each, from 250 employees working in telecom and IT companies. The statistical analyses relied on the PROCESS macro, which enabled a simultaneous estimation of the direct, mediation and moderated mediation effects that underpin the proposed theoretical framework.

Findings
Results showed good support for the serial mediation model. TMKV was found a significant factor to improve knowledge sharing among employees.

Practical implications
The role of leadership is inevitable in the journey of organizational performance, and digital leadership has become a significant phenomenon in this regard. To achieve open innovation, organizations need digital leadership that induce knowledge sharing and innovation capability.

Originality/value
This study contributes to extant research by explaining how digital leadership induces knowledge sharing and innovation capability to achieve open innovation that is highly important to compete and outperform the rivals.
How transformational leadership, workplace spirituality and resilience enhance the service recovery performance of FLEs: a theoretical integration of COR theory and SDT
Authors: Kim Quy Hoang Thi , Tran Mai Dong , Dinh Tien Minh 
Published: April 2023

PurposeThe present study aims to explore the linkages among transformational leadership, workplace spirituality and frontline employee (FLE) service recovery performance in the aviation service industry. The resilience of individuals was taken as a mediator for the associations between transformational leadership as well as workplace spirituality and frontline employee's service recovery performance. The hypothesized research model was examined by integrating the principles of COR theory and the SDT perspective on psychological needs.Design/methodology/approachThe research model was evaluated via partial least squares (PLS). In particular, SmartPLS 3.0 software was utilized to examine anticipated correlations through a poll of 371 air service provider frontline employees.FindingsResults demonstrated that transformational leadership had a positive impact on both service recovery performance and spirituality in the workplace. The positive connection between workplace spirituality and service recovery performance was also supported. Further, the mediating role of an employee's resilience in these relationships was established. The paper provides a significant contribution with both theoretical and practical implications.Practical implicationsThe present research also provides some practical implications for the aviation industry. Since the aviation industry is a high-contact service industry, aviation frontline employees play a crucial role in service recovery strategies. Thus, air service providers need to provide these employees with ample resources to effectively handle service failures. Moreover, the service recovery performance of air service providers may benefit from the hiring of managers with strong transformational leadership styles. Therefore, these providers should take leadership style into account when recruiting, promoting and training supervisors. Managers should, among other activities, implement transformational leadership approaches, such as inspiring and motivating, establishing a supportive organizational climate, paying attention to employees' needs and engaging in active listening.Originality/valueThe current study contributes to the stream of research on SRP and the role of transformational leadership, workplace spirituality and resilience in service recovery in particular. Furthermore, by integrating the COR and SDT theories, the current study gives more real-world proof of the importance of leadership for organizations.
The effect of image enhancement on influencer's product recommendation effectiveness: the roles of perceived influencer authenticity and post type
Authors: Zhang Yajun , Shao Zhuoyan , Zhang Jin , Wu Banggang , Zhou Liying 
Published: April 2023

PurposeFacilitated by image retouch tools, social media influencers can digitally enhance their self-image in product recommendation posts. This paper proposes that image enhancement may serve as a cue for the audience to assess the authenticity of the influencer (“true to oneself”), which further affects the influencer's product recommendation effectiveness (i.e. attitudes toward the post and recommended product).Design/methodology/approachExperiment 1 examines the effect of image enhancement on consumers' perceived influencer authenticity and product recommendation effectiveness. Experiment 2 considers the moderating role of post type, examining the effects in informational versus storytelling posts.FindingsConsumers perceived an influencer to be more authentic when the image is not enhanced; in turn, consumers reported more favorable attitudes toward the post and the recommended product upon reading the post. The effects are moderated by post type: the effect of image enhancement (through perceived influencer authenticity) exists in posts using an informational message format but is attenuated for those using a storytelling message format.Originality/valueThis research enriches the literature on authenticity cues by documenting a novel visual cue and contributes to influencer marketing by identifying a nuanced interactive effect between image enhancement and post type on recommendation effectiveness.
Reduction of the warping of a silicon wafer coated with two thin layers by minimal geometric modifications
Authors: El Fatmi Imad , Belhenini Soufyane , Tougui Abdellah 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
The aim of this study is to make a contribution towards reducing the deflections of silicon wafers. The deformation of silicon wafers used in the manufacture of electronic micro-components is one of the most common problems encountered by industrialists during manufacturing. Stack warping is typically produced during the process of depositing thin layers on a substrate. This is due to the thermal-mechanical stresses caused by the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials. Reducing wafer deformation is essential to increase reliability and improve quality. In this paper, the authors propose an approach based on minimal geometrical modifications to reduce the deformation of a silicon wafer coated with two thin layers. Numerical finite element models have been developed to evaluate the impact of geometrical modifications on warping amplitude. Finite element models have been validated compared with experimental models. The results obtained are encouraging and clearly show a considerable reduction in wafer deformation.

The effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in the management of refractory prurigo nodularis in 45 Chinese patients: A real‐life observational study
Authors: Fang Hao‐Yue , Lian Cui‐Hong 
Published: April 2023

AbstractPrurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory skin disease characterized by severe skin itching and hyperkeratotic nodules. The existing treatment options for PN are limited by severe adverse effects. Dupilumab is an approved biological agent for treating atopic dermatitis and other type 2 inflammatory diseases in adults, showing good efficacy and safety in clinical trials. Recently, dupilumab has shown remarkable effects in patients with PN, but the data on Chinese patients are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dupilumab to treat atopic and nonatopic PN in 45 Chinese patients. To our knowledge, this is the largest cohort to date to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dupilumab to treat atopic and nonatopic PN. To achieve this, 45 patients with PN from the department of dermatology of several Grade A hospitals in Shenzhen, China, were treated with off‐label prescription dupilumab. We followed‐up the patients on weeks 8 and 16, and the pruritus symptoms, changes in lesion color and area, and the quality of sleep and life were evaluated before and after treatment using the Pruritus Peak Numeric Rating Scale (PP‐NRS, 0–10), the Dermatology Life Quality Index/Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI/CDLQI, 0–30), and the Investigator's Global Assessment Scales for Stage and Activity (IGA/IGAa, 0–4) at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. Total serum immunoglobin E and eosinophilic granulocyte levels were the main laboratory indices for patient evaluation. During treatment, the skin lesions and itching symptoms of these 45 patients were relieved remarkably within 2 weeks. All the PP‐NRS, DLQI/CDLQI, and IGA/IGAa scores significantly improved from the baseline to 16‐week dupilumab treatment (P < 0.001 for all scores) and no adverse events were reported.
Access to public capital markets and bank lending
Authors: Chu Yongqiang , Zhao Daxuan 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe examine how the cost of issuing equity affects bank lending. Using the SEC rule change that allowed exchange‐listed firms with public float less than $75 million to raise equity via shelf registrations as a quasi‐natural experiment, we show that the affected banks increase mortgage lending relative to control banks. Furthermore, the affected banks reduce demand for precautionary capital and become less likely to sell mortgages to third parties.
Evaluating expertise in forensic anthropology
Authors: Passalacqua Nicholas V. , Langley Natalie R. , Pilloud Marin A. , Tersigni‐Tarrant MariaTeresa A. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe medicolegal system relies on the ability of experts and non‐experts alike to make judgments about expertise and use those judgments to reach consequential decisions. Given the lack of standard criteria, mandatory certification, or licensure for establishing expertise required to practice forensic anthropology and testify as an expert witness, we sought to understand how individuals assess and identify expertise in forensic anthropology by using a social science tool called the Imitation Game. This tool assesses immersion in a specific area of study via discourse, with the premise that some individuals lacking expertise themselves imitate or attempt to pass as experts. For this project we recruited volunteers with varying expertise in forensic anthropology to participate in interviews which asked questions about the practice and structure of the discipline. Those interviews were transcribed, anonymized, and evaluated by other recruited individuals with varying expertise in forensic anthropology. Results found that judges who were experts in forensic anthropology performed better than non‐expert judges in determining who was not an expert in forensic anthropology based on their anonymized responses; however, nearly half of the non‐experts were still able to pass as experts in forensic anthropology. The difficulties in assessing expertise based on discourse interactions demonstrates the value and need for well‐defined credentials and mandatory certification to practice forensic anthropology. This study demonstrates that accurately identifying expertise in forensic anthropology may be challenging for both experts and non‐experts, especially when relying solely on interactional expertise rather than formal assessments of competency which directly elucidate contributory expertise.
Whole‐exome sequencing in primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma misdiagnosed as mesothelioma: A case report and literature review
Authors: Wu Di , Zhang Hongbing , Li Xin , Liu Jinghao , Liu Minghui , Liu Hongyu , Dong Ming , Chen Jun 
Published: April 2023

AbstractSynovial sarcoma is a highly malignant tumor that accounts for 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is extremely rare, and its prognosis is poor. A diagnosis is usually established after other primary lung malignancies or metastatic extrathoracic sarcomas have been excluded. Therefore, it is often misdiagnosed. In this study, we report the case of a 38‐year‐old woman who was misdiagnosed as having pleural mesothelioma and finally endured surgery to remove the tumor. The tumor showed SYT‐SSX fusion transcripts and was diagnosed as PPSS after combining histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. Finally, we determined some biomarkers through whole‐exome sequencing (WES) to improve the diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Chlorophyll a fluorescence during flag leaf senescence of field‐grown winter wheat plants under drought conditions

Published: April 2023

AbstractImproving wheat grain yield plays a significant role in ensuring global food security. Wheat production could be increased by the genetic improvement of wheat genotypes where delayed senescence with enhanced post‐anthesis capacity and staygreen traits could have an important role. In this study, chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) rise kinetics from the early until late senescence of flag leaves, grain yield and other agro‐morphological characteristics were compared for three winter wheat advanced lines (Osk.4.312/10‐18, Osk.4.330/6‐18 and Osk.4.354/12‐18) under natural drought conditions. The differences between lines were observed when considering the heading date which was 1 and 4 days earlier for the line Osk.4.354/12‐18, than lines Osk.4.312/10‐18 and Osk.4.330/6‐18, respectively. Furthermore, line Osk.4.354/12‐18 had the highest test weight (kg hl−1), while line Osk.4.330/6‐18 showed a tendency of decreased grain yield, compared to the other two lines. Analysis of ChlF transients and several JIP‐test parameters indicated that all three lines had a generally similar course of changes in the photosynthetic performance of flag leaves during senescence under drought conditions. However, at the point when a decrease in photosynthetic performance was initiated, it was slightly less intensive in line Osk.4.354/12‐18 accompanied by longer preservation of functionality and connectivity of PSII units, than in the other two lines, which contributed to its better agronomical performance. These results indicated that even delicate variations in the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus of the flag leaf during grain filling were agronomically important, especially when plants were exposed to drought stress, and could be used to differentiate otherwise similar wheat genotypes. Even small genotype‐specific differences in the photosynthetic performance of senescing flag leaves, along with earlier heading dates, could assist in the selection of genotypes with a better ability to cope with unfavourable environmental conditions.
Effect of microhabitat characteristics for predicting habitat suitability for a stalking large carnivore—the Eurasian lynx in middle Europe
Authors: Schmidt K. , Górny M. , Jędrzejewski W. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractLarge European carnivores are generally considered forest animals. However, there are a number of interacting factors that may have different impact on the availability and suitability of habitat for individual species. Felids, because of their stalking hunting mode, are habitat specialists requiring a heterogeneous environment, making them specifically vulnerable to habitat disturbance. The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), despite protection in many European countries, has a surprisingly limited range. To explain environmental factors that affect its distribution, we undertook habitat selection and habitat suitability analyses at the macrohabitat and microhabitat scales, based on lynx occurrence and environmental data in Poland. Since the species occurs in two populations, one of which inhabits lowland and the other mountainous area, we modelled habitat suitability separately in both areas and then extrapolated it for the whole country scale. The lynx selected forests with medium undergrowth density in the lowlands and highly rugged terrain in the mountain areas—a proxy of stalking cover. Habitat suitability modelling performed at the macrohabitat scale identified around 110 000 km2 of habitat available from which 55 700 km2 was classified as high quality including large tracts of forests in western Poland that are beyond the natural range of the lynx. However, the microhabitat model built by including stalking cover variables, decreased high‐quality habitats to only 33% of the area designated at the macrohabitat scale. This model is largely consistent with the current distribution of lynx in Poland. This suggests that the simplified internal structure of forests (lacking understory cover) may act as a hindrance to increasing the distribution of lynx populations and helps to explain its limited range in the Central European lowlands. This research suggests that the microhabitat structure may play the crucial role in the effective conservation of the Eurasian lynx.
