Linking employee attributes and organizational resilience: An empirically driven model
Authors: Gerschberger Melanie , Ellis Scott C. , Gerschberger Markus 
Published: February 2023

AbstractExtant research highlights how resilient organizations effectively cope with supply chain disruptions to enhance firm performance. Yet, it remains unclear how an organization's most basic resource—that is, its individual employees—facilitates such resilience. Through a qualitative study that includes 44 interviews across four manufacturing companies, we identify critical individual attributes and show how these attributes contribute to organizational resilience. Our findings advance a framework of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral attributes through which employees facilitate resilient outcomes. Our empirically driven model enriches theory about resilience within the supply chain management domain and elevates the importance of managerial approaches associated with human resource management activities, which affect organizations' repositories of the employee attributes that foster resilience.

AbstractThe aphids Lipaphis erysimi pseudobrassicae (Davis) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) pose serious threats to the production of cruciferous crops in the tropics. Understanding their population dynamics is important for developing integrated pest management programmes to minimize their damage to crops. This study investigated the effects of climatic factors, natural enemies and plant age on the population dynamics of these pests. The population density of aphids and their natural enemies in 20 cabbage plants, and weather conditions were monitored for five cropping seasons from 2019 to 2021 in two agroecological zones of Ghana (Coastal Savannah and Deciduous Forest zones). The highest population density of L. e pseudobrassicae was recorded in January (dry season) in both agroecological zones, while the highest population density for M. persicae occurred in September (minor rainy season) and August (dry spell) in the Coastal Savannah and Deciduous Forest zones, respectively. The highest aphid densities were noted to occur during periods with low relative humidity and low rainfall. The population density of L. e. pseudobrassicae was significantly negatively related to plant age, air temperature and relative humidity, and positively related to syrphids (Paragus borbonicus) and spiders in the Coastal Savannah zone, while in the Deciduous Forest zone, it was significantly positively related to coccinellids. On the other hand, M. persicae population density was significantly positively related to syrphids and coccinellids in the Deciduous Forest zone. Rainfall negatively affected syrphids in the Coastal Savannah zone, while air temperature positively affected syrphids and negatively affected spiders in the Deciduous Forest zone. Coccinellids had a significant positive relationship with relative humidity in the Deciduous Forest zone. This study provides important insights into the key factors that regulate aphid population densities on cabbage and will support development of timely interventions to manage these pests.

AbstractLactococcus lactis LL‐HSTU‐FPP was isolated from fermented rice and bacteriocin produced by this strain was used to investigate the antagonistic properties against foodborne pathogens. Subsequently, different concentrations (7.5 and 10%, v/v) of bacteriocin were applied to shrimp to analyze the spoilage rates during refrigerated storage. The isolate LL‐HSTU‐FPP was characterized using different biochemical tests (Catalase, bile esculin) and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted to assess the amide group in the bacteriocin produced by the strain LL‐HSTU‐FPP. The bacteriocin exhibited better inhibitory effect than the antibiotic ciprofloxacin against Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholera, and Staphylococcus aureus strains. Furthermore, the bacteriocin retained its activity after treatment with high temperatures ranging from 40 to 121°C, in a wide pH range (2–9), and after treatment with different enzymes. However, the tendency to reduce spoilage microorganisms in shrimp as a consequence of the bacteriocin effect was significant compared to the control and the sample treated with 1% acetic acid after storage. As a result, the 10% concentration of bacteriocin used for the treatment of shrimps was shown to be more effective and suitable for use as a bio‐preservative in seafood.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundAs clinical trials for Rett syndrome are underway, there is a need to validate potential supplemental outcome measures that reflect important signs and symptoms.Autonomic dysfunction, particularly vasomotor dysfunction, is one potential area for which biomarkers could be developed.MethodsIn the current study, infrared thermal images of hands and feet from 26 females with Rett syndrome (aged 62 months to 39 years), and 17 females without known intellectual, genetic or neurological disorders (aged 55 months to 39 years) were collected. Between‐group differences in skin temperature, and temporal stability of skin temperature measures in the Rett syndrome group, and relationships between skin temperature measures and parent‐reported and researcher‐evaluated indicators of autonomic dysfunction were evaluated.ResultsBetween‐group differences showed lower hand and foot temperatures in the Rett syndrome group. Hand temperature measurements were stable over time and were moderately correlated with parent‐reported autonomic symptoms. Foot temperature measurements were more variable than hand temperatures but showed stronger correlations with parent‐reported autonomic symptoms.ConclusionsThe results provide preliminary support for the reliability and validity of hand and foot skin temperature measures in Rett syndrome. Additional research is needed to replicate these results and evaluate the temporal stability of these measures over shorter time scales.

AbstractBackgroundThe Middle East has a significant influence on the global aesthetic market. Within the United States and globally, patients with Middle Eastern heritage have a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds that affect their perceptions of beauty and motivations to seek cosmetic treatment.AimsThe aim of this roundtable was to discuss similarities and differences in anatomy and treatment preferences of Middle Eastern patients and explore how these differences may influence aesthetic practices.Patients/MethodsIn support of clinicians who wish to serve a diverse patient population, a 6‐part international roundtable series focused on diversity in aesthetics was conducted from August 24, 2021, to May 16, 2022.ResultsThe results of the fourth roundtable in the series, the Middle Eastern Patient, are described here. A discussion of treatment preferences is included, and specific procedural information is provided for commonly treated areas in this population (forehead, infraorbital area, and jawline).ConclusionsMiddle Eastern patients have a variety of aesthetic preferences, which are influenced by a wide range of cultural backgrounds, making it difficult to develop general statements about this demographic. There is an unmet need for research into this diverse group of patients to help physicians understand and incorporate their unique needs and desires into clinical practice.

Published: February 2023

AbstractWith mounting evidence demonstrating the link between child emotion regulation (ER) and emotion socialization, we conducted a longitudinal study to understand (a) emotion‐specific trajectories of adolescent ER and (b) how specific parent and friend emotion socialization strategies impact ER over 4 years. Participants were 209 adolescents (52.5% girls; Mage = 12.66 years; 75.7% White) and their parents. Latent growth curve models identified unique trajectories for anger and sadness/worry regulation. Anger regulation increased across time, whereas sadness/worry regulation remained highly stable longitudinally, lacking variance for growth modeling. Friend emotion socialization emerged as a more salient predictor of anger regulation than parent emotion socialization. Friend reward, override, and punish responses predicted initial levels. Friend punish and parent magnify responses predicted the slope.
Muslim Ethics and the Ethnographic Imagination
Authors: Wesselhoeft Kirsten 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTTheoretical and methodological discussions of ethnography and ethics have appeared regularly in the Journal of Religious Ethics for at least the past 13 years. Many of these conversations have been preoccupied by the relationship between “normative” work in religious ethics and “descriptive” work on moral worlds and patterns of reasoning. However, there has often been a perceived impasse when it comes to drawing “normative” ethical arguments from fine‐grained ethnographic study. This paper begins by assessing significant contributions to religious ethics made by ethnographers of Islam, focusing on the way they render a stark descriptive/normative binary irrelevant. I then turn to an example from my own fieldwork that expands our understanding of the relationship between ethnography and ethics. Through this example, I argue that ethical thinkers working outside the academy—theologians, activists, and cultural producers—also draw on an “ethnographic imagination” to make moral arguments. I end by reflecting on how the “ethnographic imagination” situates religious ethics as part of broader humanistic inquiry, showing that careful accounts of how people do live are always enmeshed with visions of how we should live.

Accessible SummaryWhat is known on the subjectInternationally, research and policy agendas recommend that family caregivers of service users in mental health care be involved in care and treatment, to support the service user's recovery process.Family caregivers of service users in mental health care are often highly burdened.There is a lack of research‐based knowledge about the experiences of family caregivers of service users in forensic mental health care (FMHC) and their involvement in care and treatment.What this paper adds to existing knowledgeThis study indicates a persistent caregiver presence and/or caregiver advocacy in regard to care and treatment of the service user in FMHC.This study indicates that health care professionals (HCPs) might play a role in eliciting a persistent caregiver presence and/or caregiver advocacy.What are the implications for practiceHCPs need to develop their collaborative skills and be more willing to listen to and understand caregivers' persistent presence and/or advocacy.HCPs need to be more skilled to understand caregivers' and families' living with the complexities of mental illness and offence.HCPs are encouraged to adjust the involvement of family caregivers in care and treatment to FMHC.AbstractIntroductionThere is a lack of research about experiences of family caregivers of service users in forensic mental health care (FMHC) and their involvement in care and treatment. Research shows that caregivers are burdened. Further knowledge is required, to provide a foundation for improving clinical practice.AimTo review research literature, to investigate existing knowledge about caregiver experiences and, secondly, caregivers' experiences of facilitators and barriers related to their involvement in care and treatment.MethodQualitative evidence synthesis undertaken in a thematic synthesis of thirteen peer‐reviewed studies.ResultsThe analysis identified three descriptive themes: violence against family; a great burden of responsibility; and difficult collaboration, together with an additional three analytical themes: bearing witness; persistent presence; and advocacy becomes necessary.DiscussionPersistent caregiver presence and/or caregiver advocacy may be elicited by health care professionals' (HCPs') exclusion of caregivers from care and treatment. Caregivers' feelings of guilt in relation to the service user's offence may play an additional role in persistent presence and advocacy and, therefore, in HCPs' exclusion of them.Implications for PracticeHCPs need to develop their collaboration with caregivers by their willingness to listen to caregivers to understand emotional complexities within families experiencing mental illness and offence.
Advances in the study of microbiota in reproductive biology: A short review of recent research, following Leclaire et al. (2022)
Authors: Turjeman Sondra 
Published: February 2023

Research on microbiota dynamics in humans (Gilbert et al., 2018), model organisms (Douglas, 2019), and free‐ranging, wild animals (Grond et al., 2018) has taken off in the past decades, and even in nonmodel organisms, research has already shifted from initial characterization studies to those examining associations with behaviour and fitness (Bodawatta et al., 2022; Corl et al., 2020; Risely et al., 2018; Turjeman et al., 2020). The microbiota is known to change through pregnancy and parturition (Koren et al., 2012), and there is also evidence in humans that infertility may be associated with microbiota composition (Silva & Giacobini, 2019), but how the microbiota is related to reproductive fitness in free‐ranging species is largely understudied or primarily focused on pathogen transmission (sexually transmitted infection) (Lombardo, 1998; Sheldon, 1993). In a From the Cover article in this issue of Molecular Ecology, Leclaire et al. (2022) begin to tease apart the relationship between the microbiota and reproductive fitness using the black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) as their study species. Following characterization of the microbiota in multiple body sites of breeders and nonbreeders, they discovered that breeding and nonbreeding females had distinct microbiota, that higher performing female breeders had lower abundances of potentially pathogenic taxa, and that feathers of these birds were characterized by reduced microbiota diversity compared to low‐performance breeders. Leclaire and her colleagues provide some of the first evidence of body‐wide differences in microbiota composition in relation to breeding status. Their research further supports the relationship between the microbiota and host fitness, and additional studies focusing on this topic can continue to unravel intricacies in host‐microbiota‐reproductive strategy evolution (Comizzoli et al., 2021; Rowe et al., 2020). Here, I review the results of Leclaire et al. (2022) and provide a wider context for their research by reviewing other studies in the field, focusing on avian species.

AbstractBackgroundOlorinab is a highly selective, peripherally acting, full agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of olorinab to treat abdominal pain in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS‐D) and constipation (IBS‐C).MethodsCAPTIVATE was a phase 2b, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group trial. Eligible participants aged 18–70 years with IBS‐C and IBS‐D diagnosed per Rome IV received olorinab 10 mg, 25 mg, or 50 mg three times daily (TID) or placebo TID for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change in patient‐reported average abdominal pain score (AAPS) from baseline to Week 12.Key ResultsA total of 273 participants were randomized to receive olorinab 10 mg (n = 67), olorinab 25 mg (n = 67), olorinab 50 mg (n = 69), or placebo (n = 70). Although a treatment response was observed across all groups, the weekly change in average AAPS from baseline to Week 12 was not significantly different between placebo and any olorinab dose. In a prespecified subgroup analysis of participants with a baseline AAPS ≥6.5, olorinab 50 mg (n = 35) significantly improved AAPS compared with placebo (n = 30) (p = 0.014). Adverse event rates were comparable between olorinab and placebo and there were no reported serious adverse events or deaths.Conclusion and InferencesAlthough olorinab was well‐tolerated and improved weekly AAPS, the primary endpoint was not met. However, in participants with moderate‐to‐severe pain at baseline (AAPS ≥6.5), olorinab 50 mg significantly improved weekly AAPS compared with placebo. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04043455.
The effect of combined oral contraceptives and Nexplanon on gastroesophageal reflux disease in premenopausal women: A nationwide database analysis

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundPregnancy, combined oral contraceptives (COC), and hormone replacement therapy have been reported to increase the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To date, no study has evaluated the effect of Nexplanon, a commonly used progesterone‐based contraceptive, on GERD. We aimed to determine the effect of Nexplanon and COC on GERD.MethodsWe performed a population‐based analysis using the IBM Explorys national database (1999–2021). The study group included premenopausal women, defined as women less than 50 years of age while excluding the diagnosis of menopause. The effect of Nexplanon and COC on GERD (at least 30 days after Nexplanon/COC was initiated) was assessed by comparing it to premenopausal women who were not on contraceptives. Foregut surgery, esophageal dysmotility disorders, hiatal hernia, and delayed gastric emptying were excluded. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted.Key ResultsA total of 23,299,470 patients were identified as being premenopausal, of which 47,260 were on Nexplanon and 5480 on COCs. As compared to premenopausal women with GERD on no contraceptives (n = 565,880), 690 patients developed GERD at least 30 days after being on Nexplanon (OR = 0.55, 95% CI [0.51–0.59], p < 0.001) and 280 developed GERD after COC (1.93, [1.71–2.18], p < 0.001). A multivariate analysis accounting for Caucasian race, obesity, smoking, alcohol use, and NSAIDs revealed that COC is an independent risk factor for GERD (1.16, [1.12–1.20], p < 0.001), and Nexplanon was protective against GERD (0.90, [0.89–0.92], p < 0.001). Hydralazine was used as a control medication for data reliability. A total of 8420 patients developed GERD after initiating hydralazine, which was not statistically nor clinically significant (OR = 1.02, 95% CI [0.99–1.04], p = 0.08) when compared to those not on contraceptives.Conclusions & InferencesCombined oral contraceptives is an independent risk factor for GERD, while Nexplanon has a limited protective effect. Further studies are needed to confirm the different effects on GERD of these two contraceptives.
The N‐terminal subunit of vitellogenin in planthopper eggs and saliva acts as a reliable elicitor that induces defenses in rice

Summary
Vitellogenins (Vgs) are critical for the development and fecundity of insects. As such, these essential proteins can be used by plants to reliably sense the presence of insects.
We addressed this with a combination of molecular and chemical analyses, genetic transformation, bioactivity tests, and insect performance assays.
The small N‐terminal subunit of Vgs of the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (NlVgN) was found to trigger strong defense responses in rice when it enters the plants during feeding or oviposition by the insect. The defenses induced by NlVgN not only decreased the hatching rate of N. lugens eggs, but also induced volatile emissions in plants, which rendered them attractive to a common egg parasitoid. VgN of other planthoppers triggered the same defenses in rice. We further show that VgN deposited during planthopper feeding compared with during oviposition induces a somewhat different response, probably to target the appropriate developmental stage of the insect.
We also confirm that NlVgN is essential for planthopper growth, development, and fecundity. This study demonstrates that VgN in planthopper eggs and saliva acts as a reliable and unavoidable elicitor of plant defenses. Its importance for insect performance precludes evolutionary adaptions to prevent detection by rice plants.
Polyploidy impacts population growth and competition with diploids: multigenerational experiments reveal key life‐history trade‐offs
Authors: Anneberg Thomas J. , O'Neill Elizabeth M. , Ashman Tia‐Lynn , Turcotte Martin M. 
Published: February 2023

Summary
Ecological theory predicts that early generation polyploids (‘neopolyploids’) should quickly go extinct owing to the disadvantages of rarity and competition with their diploid progenitors. However, polyploids persist in natural habitats globally. This paradox has been addressed theoretically by recognizing that reproductive assurance of neopolyploids and niche differentiation can promote establishment. Despite this, the direct effects of polyploidy at the population level remain largely untested despite establishment being an intrinsically population‐level process.
We conducted population‐level experiments where life‐history investment in current and future growth was tracked in four lineage pairs of diploids and synthetic autotetraploids of the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrhiza. Population growth was evaluated with and without competition between diploids and neopolyploids across a range of nutrient treatments.
Although neopolyploid populations produce more biomass, they reach lower population sizes and have reduced carrying capacities when growing alone or in competition across all nutrient treatments. Thus, contrary to individual‐level studies, our population‐level data suggest that neopolyploids are competitively inferior to diploids. Conversely, neopolyploid populations have greater investment in dormant propagule production than diploids.
Our results show that neopolyploid populations should not persist based on current growth dynamics, but high potential future growth may allow polyploids to establish in subsequent seasons.
