AsianCrit lens on Chinese international student multi-dimensional transitions and experiences in the US
Authors: Hou Minghui 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine Chinese international students' narrative stories, experiences and racial dynamics while studying in the United States to argue that Chinese international students navigate multi-dimensional transitions and experiences in different stages. This study uses an AsianCrit lens to address the gap in existing research focusing on Chinese international students' narratives and experiences.Design/methodology/approachNarrative inquiry with a social constructivist paradigm was used to provide an in-depth exploration of Chinese international students' navigation and negotiation in multi-dimensional experiences. Three phases of semi-structured interviews and journal entries were utilized to examine participants' experiences and struggles while studying in the United States. Descriptive coding, deductive coding and restorying were used to analyze and feather narrators' voices and stories for interpretation.FindingsThe findings in this qualitative study demonstrate that Chinese international students have unique backgrounds, and their backgrounds shape their multi-dimensional transitions and experiences in the present and the future. The findings address students' nuanced experiences in academic transitions and non-academic transitions with an AsianCrit lens.Practical implicationsThe study calls for higher education institutions to promote intercultural and international training for faculty and staff to better understand and support the unique needs of international students.Originality/valueUsing Multiple and Multi-dimensional Transitions theory with an AsianCrit lens helps make sense of the intersection of international student status, geopolitical tensions, racial dynamics and international student experiences.
The effect of contractual and behavioral CEO attributes on aggressive tax avoidance: case of German-listed firms in HDAX
Authors: Neifar Souhir , Huesing Silke 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the effect of contractual factors and noncontractual factors on tax avoidance (TA).

Design/methodology/approach
The sample comprises 400 firm-year observations of 67 companies listed on the HDAX during the period 2008–2017. The generalized least square panel regression is applied.

Findings
The study results confirm a significant effect of long-term chief executive officer (CEO) compensation incentives and CEO attributes on TA. Findings exhibit a significant impact of foreign CEO on TA, whereas an insider CEO mitigates TA. The results hold for several robustness tests, with lag effective tax rate as dependent variable and with splitting foreign CEO into European and non-European origin.

Research limitations/implications
First, the sample is limited to 400 firm-year observations and to the German context. For shareholders, the study provides first evidence on relationships between the geographical and internal versus external labor market for CEOs and TA. For researchers, the findings underline the importance of integrating behavioral approaches like place attachment theory and the rooting theory in the theory of TA.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the impact of both contractual determinants and behavioral determinants on TA in the German context as an emerged economy with a dualistic corporate governance. This study contributes to the existing literature regarding the scientific debates about the impact of CEOs and CEO attributes on TA. It also analyses the balance between the place attachment theory and the rooting theory in the face of the compensation outcomes of agency theory.

AbstractObjectiveThis study (NCT05588531) aimed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of cefepime‐avibactam (YK‐1169) in healthy Chinese subjects and explore the optimal regimen for treating carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) based on the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation.MethodsYK‐1169 single‐ascending doses (0.5, 1.25, 2.5 or 3.75 g, 2‐h infusion) and multiple doses (2.5 or 3.75 g every 8 h [q8h], 2‐h infusion) given for 7 days were evaluated in pharmacokinetic studies. Subjects were randomized to receive cefepime (2 g), avibactam (0.5 g) or YK‐1169 (2.5 g) to assess drug‐drug interactions. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of YK‐1169 were determined by the broth microdilution method. Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate 10 different dose regimens.ResultsCefepime and avibactam both showed a linear pharmacokinetic profile. No accumulation was found after multiple doses. The cefepime Cmax,ss and AUC0‐∞,ss were 9.20 and 16.0 μg/mL, 407.2 and 659.45 μg·h/mL in the 2.5 and 3.75 g multiple‐dose groups, respectively. The avibactam Cmax,ss and AUC0‐∞,ss were 0.545 and 0.837 μg/mL, 53.31 and 79.55 μg·h/mL in the 2.5 and 3.75 g multiple‐dose groups, respectively. Cefepime and avibactam did not affect each other's pharmacokinetics. No serious adverse events occurred. All regimens achieved 90% probability of target attainment (PTA) goals when the MIC was ≤8 mg/L. The regimens of 2.5 (q8h, 2‐h infusion), 3.75 (q8h, 2‐, 3‐ and 4‐h infusions) and 7.5 g (24‐h continuous infusion) reached a 90% cumulative fraction of response.ConclusionYK‐1169 had good antibacterial activity against CRKP and could be an option for CRKP infections. The regimen of 2.5 g q8h intravenously guttae (ivgtt) 2 h should be considered in future clinical trials.
The Multiracial‐Black Socialization Model: Conceptualizing racial socialization in Multiracial‐Black families
Authors: Green McKenzie N. , Bryant Summer 
Published: May 2023

AbstractScholars have spent the last four decades expanding the theoretical understanding of parental racial socialization—or parent–child communication about race. What is largely absent from existing conceptualizations, however, is a consideration for how the practice manifests in Multiracial families. The interracial structure of Multiracial families complicates racial socialization in ways that are not being captured in empirical research due to the overreliance on universal frameworks. It is imperative that we close this theoretical gap as the proportion of Multiracial families in the United States is expanding at record rates. Accordingly, we present the Multiracial‐Black Socialization Model (MRB‐SM) in this paper. The MRB‐SM is designed explicitly for Multiracial‐Black families, one of the fastest‐growing sub‐groups of Multiracial families. The model builds upon the strengths of universal socialization theories by outlining the content, process, and context components of racial socialization in Multiracial‐Black families. The implications for research are discussed.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundPleural procedures are essential for the investigation and management of pleural disease and can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of pleural procedure complication data in the Australian and New Zealand region.AimsTo review pleural procedure practices at Wollongong Hospital with an emphasis on the assessment of complications, use of thoracic ultrasound (TUS), pathology results and comparison of findings with international data.MethodsRetrospective analysis of medical records was performed on pleural procedures identified through respiratory specialist trainee logbooks at Wollongong Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021. Comparison of complication rates was made to the British Thoracic Society 2011 a national pleural audit.ResultsOne hundred and twenty‐one pleural procedures were identified. There were 71 chest drains, 49 thoracocentesis and one indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion. Ninety‐seven per cent of procedures were performed for pleural effusions and 3% for pneumothorax. This audit demonstrated a complication rate (excluding pain) of 16.9% for chest drains and 4.1% for thoracocentesis. This gave an overall complication event rate of 10.8% (excluding pain) for pleural procedures. There was no major bleeding, organ puncture, pleural space infection or death. Bedside TUS was used in 99% of procedures.ConclusionComplication rates for pleural procedures performed by respiratory specialist trainees at Wollongong Hospital are comparable with international outcomes. This audit provides data for comparison on pleural procedure complication rates in Australia. Future studies are required to determine complication rates with IPCs.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe pharaoh cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis, has become a commercially cultured cephalopod in coastal southeast China. However, information on the reproductive histology of this species remains limited. To describe its reproductive development, this study investigated the ovarian structure and oogenesis of S. pharaonis from hatchlings to the postbreeding stage using anatomical methods and histological techniques. The results showed that oogenesis in the ovary was asynchronous and morphologically variable, with immature oocytes attached to the gonadal cord and encircling the ovarian stroma in sequence. After maturation, the egg was free in the ovarian cavity and was discharged through the fallopian tube to combine with the sperm. Furthermore, serial histological dissections of the ovaries demonstrated that oocyte development was asynchronous. Based on egg size and morphology, follicular cell morphology, and yolk formation, oogenesis in S. pharaonis was divided into five distinct stages: The oogonia stage, protoplasm growth stage, follicular penetration stage, vitellogenesis stage, and resorbing stage. Moreover, based on the appearance of follicular cells in the protoplasm growth stage and their disintegration and disappearance in the vitellogenesis stage, it can be inferred that follicular cells secrete yolk substances and participate in the formation of egg membranes. Through the dynamic observation and description of the ovary development and oogenesis, these results provide an important foundation for studies of the regulatory mechanisms of oogenesis in this species, enriching the theory of cephalopod reproductive biology and improving artificial reproduction technology.

AbstractTo explore the moderating effect of mindfulness on the relationship between anxiety and somatization symptoms in middle‐aged and elderly female patients with hypertension and provide a foundation for the development of more effective mindfulness intervention strategies. A total of 109 middle‐aged and elderly female patients with hypertension participated in this cross‐sectional study from April to July 2022 and provided valid responses to the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Somatization Symptom Self‐rating Scale (SSS). The moderating effect of mindfulness was determined using multiple linear regression. The participants’ average scores were as follows: mindfulness: 123.86 ± 10.49; anxiety: 7.41 ± 3.62; and somatization symptoms: 41.2 ± 9.44. The anxiety (P = .000) and somatization symptoms (P = .001) of participants with high mindfulness were significantly reduced. Anxiety was positively correlated with somatization symptoms (r = 0.606, P = .000), while mindfulness was negatively correlated with both anxiety (r = ‐0.468, P = .000) and somatization symptoms (r = ‐0.439, P = .000). Moreover, mindfulness had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between anxiety and somatization symptoms (n = 109) (B = ‐0.166, t = ‐2.125, P = .036). The effect of mindfulness on anxiety and somatization symptoms was more significant in participants with low mindfulness levels (n = 56) (B = 0.144, t = 2.805, P = .008) than in participants with high mindfulness levels (n = 53) (B = ‐0.037, t = ‐0.864, P = .393). The moderating effect analysis based on regression analysis showed that mindfulness had a significant moderating effect on anxiety and somatization symptoms, especially in participants with low mindfulness levels.
Red blood cells of Labeo rohita express Toll‐like receptors, NOD‐ like receptors, interleukins, and interferon‐I in response to Gram‐negative bacterial infections and lipopolysaccharide stimulations

AbstractRed blood cells (RBCs) are the most abundant cell types in the circulatory system of vertebrates. In fish, RBCs retain their nuclei throughout their lifetime and remain transcriptionally and translationally active. While their primary function is typically associated with gas exchange, recent reports indicate that nucleated red blood cells can play a significant role in regulating the body's innate immune response. The current article describes the innate immune role of red blood cells in rohu (Labeo rohita), a freshwater fish species that holds significant commercial importance in India and South‐East Asian nations. From the whole blood and mucosal surface RBCs have been isolated through density gradient centrifugation with HiSep™LSM 1077 (density 1.007 ± 0.0010) and their purity has been confirmed by the Giemsa staining followed by microscopical observations. Toll‐like receptors (TLR2, 3, 4, 5) and nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)‐like receptors (NOD1 and NOD2) in RBCs of rohu fingerlings were observed to be significantly activated (P < 0.05) on infection with Aeromonas hydrophila and Edwardsiella tarda. This activation resulted in increased expression of interleukins (IL‐8, IL‐1β) and interferon (IFN)‐I genes. The activation of TLR4, NOD1 and NOD2, as well as the expression of interleukins and IFN‐I genes have been observed in both in vivo and in vitro stimulation of rohu RBCs with lipopolysaccharides. These findings highlight the importance of fish RBCs in enhancing innate immunity against various pathogenic invasions in rohu.
Frontotemporal contributions to social and non‐social semantic judgements
Authors: Norberg Joakim , McMains Stephanie , Persson Jonas , Mitchell Jason P. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractSemantic judgements involve the use of general knowledge about the world in specific situations. Such judgements are typically associated with activity in a number of brain regions that include the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). However, previous studies showed activity in brain regions associated with mentalizing, including the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ), in semantic judgements that involved social knowledge. The aim of the present study was to investigate if social and non‐social semantic judgements are dissociated using a combination of fMRI and repetitive TMS. To study this, we asked participants to estimate the percentage of exemplars in a given category that shared a specified attribute. Categories could be either social (i.e., stereotypes) or non‐social (i.e., object categories). As expected, fMRI results (n = 26) showed enhanced activity in the left IFG that was specific to non‐social semantic judgements. However, statistical evidence did not support that repetitive TMS stimulation (n = 19) to this brain region specifically disrupted non‐social semantic judgements. Also as expected, the right TPJ showed enhanced activity to social semantic judgements. However, statistical evidence did not support that repetitive TMS stimulation to this brain region specifically disrupted social semantic judgements. It is possible that the causal networks involved in social and non‐social semantic judgements may be more complex than expected.

AbstractBackgroundQualified individualised nursing care should be provided to all communities and ethnic groups with free of ethnocentrism.AimsTo evaluate nurses' individualised care behaviours and ethnocentric attitudes and predict the relationship between their individualised care behaviours and ethnocentric attitudes.DesignA descriptive and exploratory study.MethodsThis study was conducted with 250 nurses working in a public and two private hospitals in a city, an area with many refugees. Data were collected using the Ethnocentrism Scale and Individualised Care Behaviours Scale. Structural equation model analysis to test hypothetical model and descriptive statistics were used.ResultsNurses working in the private hospitals had a higher individualised care decision control mean score. Those nurses who enjoyed spending time with people from different cultures had lower mean ethnocentrism scale scores, higher individualised care clinical status, personal life and decision control status subscales mean scores compared to other nurses. Mean scores of the individualised care personal life and decision control status subscales of the nurses who followed the literature on transcultural nursing was higher. A significant relationship between the ethnocentrism levels and individualised care behaviours was identified. Accordingly, the ethnocentric attitudes of the nurses negatively affected their individualised care behaviours, and the model established between the two concepts is statistically appropriate.ConclusionsNurses who work in private hospitals, receive intercultural nursing education and enjoy spending time with different cultures have higher individualised care behaviours and lower ethnocentrism levels. Ethnocentric attitudes of the nurses negatively affected their individualised care behaviours. Care strategies should be developed that consider the factors that will maximize individualised care practices that minimize ethnocentric behaviours among nurses.Implications for the ProfessionIncreasing awareness on individualised care behaviours, ethnocentric attitudes and effected factors will contribute to improve of nursing care quality of nurses while giving care to individuals from different cultures.
Mountain ungulate mating systems: patterns and processes
Authors: Corlatti Luca , Lovari Sandro 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTMountain ungulates of the subfamily Caprinae, including wild sheep, goats and goat‐antelopes, show remarkable interspecific diversity in habitat preferences, social organisation and morphological features. We review how this diversity relates to their mating behaviour.After introducing the ecology of mating systems and the evolution of the Caprinae, we investigate the pairwise, sequential relationships between habitat preferences, social behaviour, level of polygyny, and morphological features, and discuss the ecological processes underlying the patterns of mate monopolisation and acquisition.From forest‐dwelling, solitary, monogamous and monomorphic goat‐antelopes, to highly dimorphic, polygynous and social wild sheep and goats inhabiting open landscapes, mountain ungulates reveal a close relationship between habitat openness and sexual dimorphism, through the level of sociality and that of mate monopolisation.Although over the last few decades some information has been collected on the biology of Caprinae, our understanding of determinants of their mating systems is still hampered by limited data to estimate opportunities for sexual selection, as well as uncertainties over the occurrence and maintenance of alternative reproductive tactics, and lack of information on female mate choice.The study of mating systems and that of the factors influencing them play a key role from an evolutionary and conservation standpoint. This is relevant to the Caprinae, whose main habitat is expected to be strongly affected by the ongoing climatic change, with potential effects on the phenology of their mating systems, and whose economic value is relevant for consumptive and nonconsumptive uses. A better understanding of the diversity and ecology of mating systems will require a wealth of additional field observations on male and female behaviour, as well as genetic assessments of reproductive success.
Relationship maintenance strategies of rotational workers and their partners
Authors: Malcom Kathryn , Ronis Scott T. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAlthough individuals who reside permanently in one location and work temporarily in another (i.e., rotational workers) represent a sizeable segment of the population, they are understudied in the empirical literature. Because rotational workers and their at‐home partners have unique long‐distance relationships due to frequent separations and reunions, they and their relationships should be examined. The primary aim of this study was to identify key factors associated with maintenance of romantic relationships between rotational workers and their at‐home partners. Participants (N = 289) were rotational workers (n = 129) and at‐home partners of workers (n = 160) who completed online surveys on individual, dyadic, and extra‐dyadic relationship maintenance behaviors and relationship characteristics over the course of two working‐reunion (roster) phases. Results indicated individual, dyadic, and extra‐dyadic behaviors positively predicted perceived relationship quality among partners and workers. Among partners, generosity positively predicted relationship quality at the first reunion and second departure phases. All other individual, dyadic, and extra‐dyadic relationship maintenance behaviors predicted relationship quality, regardless of the roster phase. Overall, results suggest the importance of relationship maintenance education for individuals in rotational romantic relationships.
Ecological study: MSM sex worker advertising amidst Monkeypox in three U.S. cities
Authors: Jackson Kristopher J. , Buchholz Michelle 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe 2022 monkeypox (MPX) outbreak was a source of consternation and stress among men who have sex with men (MSM)—the population disproportionately affected by the recent MPX outbreak. Individuals at high‐risk for MPX (e.g., MSM, sex workers) were prioritized for vaccination during early state and city health department vaccine initiatives across the U.S., but little is known about how the MSM sex work market was affected by the MPX outbreak in U.S. cities where MPX incidence was particularly high. To better characterize the potential relationship between MPX incidence and MSM sex worker advertising at the height of the U.S. MPX outbreak, we monitored advertising volume on an Internet advertising platform popular among MSM sex workers and compared these data to city and county health department MPX case reporting data during a 13‐week period (July 2nd, 2022‐ September 24th, 2022) in three U.S. cities with peak MPX incidence: Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco. In each of these cities, we observed a decline in advertising during or immediately following study week(s) with the highest number of weekly MPX cases during the study period, recognizing that observed decreases in advertising could be attributed to transient increase(s) in advertising during large‐scale LGBT festivals occurring during the study period.
