Maximizing impact: optimizing teams through leader development in health-care settings
Authors: Linhardt Rylee M. , Woods Amanda , Cavanaugh Katelyn , Holladay Courtney L. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to connect the effects of a leadership development intervention to team outcomes and show the leader is a conduit to improve teamwork behaviors of team members. The authors fulfill this purpose by describing and evaluating the effectiveness of a leadership development intervention in a health-care setting.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors describe and empirically evaluate a nine-month cohort-based leadership development initiative where leaders participate in multiple hands-on workshops and coaching sessions. During the intervention, leaders were provided opportunities to practice new skills and were encouraged to apply them to their team.

Findings
The findings suggest that through learning and practice, leadership behavior improved, and this behavior led to better follower and team outcomes. More specifically, leaders who were trained had followers who felt they had more guidance in developing their careers, and these leaders had teams who engaged in more teamwork behavior. Further, findings support that program engagement matters; participants must fully engage in the program for direct reports to experience benefits.

Originality/value
Connections between factors of leadership training and the effects on leader, follower and team outcomes are discussed further through teamwork theory. The authors describe the implications of the leadership development intervention from the perspective of both leaders and teams. In doing so, the authors connect the behaviors of leaders to teamwork outcomes by considering how the leader learned effective teamwork skills during the leadership development intervention.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the real‐world effectiveness and safety of sequential treatment with regorafenib and trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD‐TPI) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in Taiwan.MethodsData were obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to assess clinical outcomes in mCRC patients who were treated with both drugs in either sequential order from 2016 to 2019. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox's proportional hazard models, with adjustments made for age, gender, Quan‐CCI score, presence of liver metastases, number of metastatic sites, and the use of anti‐epidermal growth factor receptor medications. Additionally, age‐stratified subgroups and sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the robustness of our findings.ResultsFive hundred and twenty‐eight patients receiving both study drugs were included. The regorafenib/FTD‐TPI group demonstrated a longer median OS of 14.1 months compared with 10.2 months in the FTD‐TPI/regorafenib group (p = 0.007). The survival benefit for the regorafenib/FTD‐TPI sequence remained significant after adjustment (adjusted HR, 1.49; p = 0.002). The mean treatment duration was also longer for regorafenib/FTD‐TPI than FTD‐TPI/regorafenib (337 vs. 214 days; p < 0.01). No significant difference between the sequential treatment groups was observed in any adverse event of interest. Both subgroup and sensitivity analyses yielded outcomes consistent with the main analysis.ConclusionThe findings indicated that initiating treatment with regorafenib followed by FTD‐TPI had superior clinical outcomes compared with the reverse sequence among mCRC patients. This study offers real‐world evidence for clinical decision‐making and treatment optimization.
Recognizing Uptalk: False Memory and Metalinguistic Commentary for a Sociolinguistic Feature
Authors: Stecker Amelia , D'Onofrio Annette 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTRelatively little work has examined how metalinguistic awareness about sociolinguistic features can impact processes of sociolinguistic memory, which are crucial to the formation of cognitive sociolinguistic representations. This article explores how metalinguistic commentary can bias listeners’ memory of a linguistic feature, uptalk, that is ideologically linked with women in popular meta‐discourses. A novel contour‐recognition paradigm tests how listeners mis‐remember uptalk depending on the perceived gender of the speaker. We provided participants with top‐down metalinguistic information about which gendered speakers were most likely to use uptalk to induce metalinguistic bias toward associations between rising contours and speakers of particular genders. Results show a speaker's perceived gender, as well as metalinguistic information provided to a listener, can bias recognition of prosodic contours, but only when this information reinforces listeners’ pre‐existing beliefs. Overall, we suggest that linguistic ideologies can shape how listeners interpret and even remember both metalinguistic statements and sociolinguistic variants.
Sequential Monitoring for Changes in GARCH(1,1) Models Without Assuming Stationarity
Authors: Horváth Lajos , Trapani Lorenzo , Wang Shixuan 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn this article, we develop two families of sequential monitoring procedure to (timely) detect changes in the parameters of a GARCH(1,1) model. Our statistics can be applied irrespective of whether the historical sample is stationary or not, and indeed without previous knowledge of the regime of the observations before and after the break. In particular, we construct our detectors as the CUSUM process of the quasi‐Fisher scores of the log likelihood function. To ensure timely detection, we then construct our boundary function (exceeding which would indicate a break) by including a weighting sequence which is designed to shorten the detection delay in the presence of a changepoint. We consider two types of weights: a lighter set of weights, which ensures timely detection in the presence of changes occurring “early, but not too early” after the end of the historical sample; and a heavier set of weights, called “Rényi weights” which is designed to ensure timely detection in the presence of changepoints occurring very early in the monitoring horizon. In both cases, we derive the limiting distribution of the detection delays, indicating the expected delay for each set of weights. Our methodologies can be applied for a general analysis of changepoints in GARCH(1,1) sequences; however, they can also be applied to detect changes from stationarity to explosivity or vice versa, thus allowing to check for “volatility bubbles”, upon applying tests for stationarity before and after the identified break. Our theoretical results are validated via a comprehensive set of simulations, and an empirical application to daily returns of individual stocks.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveDetermine if feeding two teaspoons per ten pounds of body weight per day of Saco powdered buttermilk (SPB) for 8 weeks affects salivary pH (SpH), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (Phos), calcium (Ca), or total protein (TP) in dogs.AnimalsEighteen dogs were enrolled following owner consent. Dogs with severe dental disease or that had been administered antibiotics in the past 3 months were excluded.ProceduresFasted saliva samples were collected using Salivette tubes within the same hour on Days 0, 1, 30, 31, 60, 61, 90, and 91. pH was measured immediately upon collection, samples were then mailed for laboratory analysis. SPB was administered at a dose of two teaspoons per ten pounds of body weight per day on Days 1–60. Baseline complete blood counts and serum chemistries were run before saliva collection on Day 1.ResultsSixteen dogs completed the study. Side effects included flatulence (2) and loose stool (1). Salivette cotton swab ingestion occurred twice prior to change in method of securing swab during collection. Weight remained stable. There was no significant change in SpH, TP, Ca, or Phos during the study. There was a statistically significant, linear increase in Mg (p = 0.0065).ConclusionsFeeding two teaspoons per ten pounds of body weight per day for 8 weeks did not significantly affect salivary pH, total protein, calcium, or phosphorus. There was a small linear increase in salivary magnesium concentration over the study period that did not return to baseline within 30 days of discontinuation of buttermilk supplementation, significance of which is unknown.
Student perceptions of alternative grading strategies in the biology classroom
Authors: Adler Jacob J. , Stoczynski Lauren E. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

There is a need to provide more case studies of alternative grading strategies in the biology education literature and report on student perceptions of these strategies. Student participants were instructed using alternative grading strategies and then completed course metacognitive self-reflections. Qualitative content analysis was performed on open responses. Students perceived opportunities for helpful instructor feedback, having a learning-focused environment, improved understanding, clarity of focus, reduced stress, improvement, enjoyment, practice, encouragement, and increased self-confidence. They also sometimes compared the logistics of their alternatively graded course to other courses or past experiences. Based upon previous literature and students mentioning opportunities for growth/improvement, a follow-up survey was performed examining the student’s growth mindset beliefs regarding biology and general intelligence using a verified survey. Qualitative content analysis was performed on open responses within this growth mindset survey. Students frequently reported growth mindset statements and discussed having to put in effort or utilize various learning factors that help frame their biology and general intelligence. Further, students reported that their alternatively graded course strengthened their growth mindset beliefs and improved their understanding of course content. This work adds to the growing base of case studies of alternative grading strategies in biology classrooms and some qualitative results on the perceived effects that these strategies are having on students.

Published: February 2025

Coppicing is a forest management technique that induces the production of new shoots from stumps to start a novel forest cycle. This study aimed to compare anatomical characteristics between coppice and high stem. Wood samples were collected from clones of Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla, and Eucalyptus saligna grown in one-stem coppice, two-stem coppice, and high stem. Anatomical parameters of fiber dimensions such as vessel diameter and frequency were analyzed. Anatomical elements were quantified by cell coloring and point counting (324 points) methods. The anatomical structure of coppiced trees was found to vary according to eucalyptus species. Fiber length and vessel frequency were similar between coppice and high stem. Coppiced wood showed higher fiber cell wall thickness and vessel diameter. Adaptation to coppicing resulted in a specific anatomical composition for each species, such as a higher quantity of parenchymal cells in E. saligna and a lower quantity of fibers in E. grandis × E. urophylla. The point sampling method provided inaccurate results, differing significantly from the cell coloring method. The findings underscore that the decision to manage forests under a coppicing system should be approached with caution, as it is crucial to understand the resulting anatomical alterations to mitigate potential industrial issues.
Feature Extraction Method for Shot Based Animation Script Creation Empowered by Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Guo Nili 
Published: February 2025

In order to support precise expression and efficient creation in the animation production process, this paper proposes a feature extraction method for animation script creation by introducing deep learning algorithms from artificial intelligence. First, the basic elements of animation script creation, including screen content, shot motion and time length, were analyzed. Subsequently, in the TF-IDF algorithm, the importance of keywords in the script is quantified by calculating word frequency and inverse text frequency. In the image block sparse representation method, the sparsity degree is used to represent the number of blocks and the target state is described by extracting image features. Finally, using convolutional neural network methods, feature extraction of segmented scripts for animation script creation is achieved through steps such as constructing two-dimensional matrices, performing convolution operations, segment pooling and feature extraction. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has excellent accuracy in extracting features from shot scripts in animation script creation. It can support precise expression and efficient creation in the animation production process, improve the accuracy of feature extraction and provide strong support for the visualization of animation scripts and the design of shot language.
Pore Structure and Durability Improvement of CNovel® Mesoporous Carbon as a Support Material for Pt Catalysts in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Authors: Daimon Hideo , Inoue HIdeo , Inaba Minoru 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Pore structure of mesoporous carbon (MPC, CNovel) as support material for Pt catalysts in polymer electrolyte fuel cells and durability improvement of MPC by heat-treatment were investigated. Because the primary particle size of MPC is ~2 µm, MPC is bead-milled to about 800 nm. Surface area of MPC is 1338 m2 g-1, which is comparable to that of conventional porous carbon support KB-600JD 1350 m2 g-1, while internal surface area of MPC is 1253 m2 g-1, much larger than that of KB-600JD (716 m2 g-1). Mesopore size distribution of MPC is narrower than that of KB-600JD, with central mesopore size of 4 nm. 3D-TEM analysis shows that MPC has much higher density of interconnected mesopores (2-6 nm) than KB-600JD, and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy observations indicate that macropores (> 50 nm) coexist in MPC. These pore structures contribute to higher cell voltage of Pt/MPC over Pt/KB-600JD in the entire current density region. MPC support is heat-treated at 1800-2400℃ in Ar to improve durability against high potentials (1.0-1.5 V vs. RHE). Durability of Pt/MPC is higher than that of Pt/KB-600JD and monotonically improves with increasing heat-treatment temperature. MPC support maintains high surface area of 800 m2 g-1 even after heat-treatment at 2200°C

Background
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve cardiovascular health. We identified whether CR participation was associated with fewer subsequent inpatient hospitalizations and emergency department visits and less Medicare and out‐of‐pocket expenditures, and whether outcomes varied by amount of participation.

Methods
This retrospective study used Medicare fee‐for‐service claims data, including beneficiaries with a CR‐qualifying event in 2016. Participants attended ≥2 sessions of CR within 365 days of the event. Propensity score matching was used to identify CR‐eligible nonparticipants. Difference‐in‐differences analyses were used to compare differences in outcomes before (2014–2015) and after (2018–2019; 2‐year CR period=2016–2017) the CR period between participants and nonparticipants.

Results
We identified 57 668 CR‐eligible beneficiaries after matching, with equal numbers of participants and nonparticipants. Nearly 65% of beneficiaries had a percutaneous coronary intervention, 33.5% had an acute myocardial infarction, 17.5% had a coronary artery bypass graft, and 16.8% had a heart valve repair/replacement. Compared with nonparticipants, participants had 47.6 fewer subsequent annual inpatient hospitalizations per 1000 beneficiaries (95% CI, −58.8 to −36.3) and $1005 lower subsequent annual Medicare expenditures per beneficiary (95% CI, −$1352 to −$659). Compared with no participation, medium participation (12–23 sessions), high participation (24–35 sessions), and CR completion (≥36 sessions) were associated with fewer inpatient hospitalizations and lower Medicare expenditures per year.

Conclusions
CR was associated with fewer subsequent annual inpatient hospitalizations and lower subsequent annual Medicare expenditures. A higher amount of participation was associated with a further reduction in hospitalizations and expenditures. These findings can inform programs and policies that encourage CR participation.
Quo Vadis, Russian Deterrence? Strategic Culture and Coercion Innovations
Authors: Adamsky Dmitry (Dima) 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article traces the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian War on the evolution of the Russian approach to coercion strategy. The article argues that strategic thinking evolves differently in various ideational realms, and that deterrence is not a universal concept. Cultural factors condition how a state approaches coercion strategy and account for differences across cases. The article offers a framework for examining the strategy of coercion and military innovations outside the Western intellectual tradition. Building on evidence from Russian primary sources and the traits of Russian strategic culture, it hypothesizes about the major trends in Russian deterrence strategy for the next decade and shows how the Russian establishment analyzes the failures and successes of Russia's intra-war coercion. The main lesson that the Russian expert community has learned is that its pre-2022 deterrence strategy and the posture supporting it are obsolete. Russia's main priorities are to restore its coercive credibility, to refine nuclear coercion for conventional scenarios that threaten Russia's vital interests, and to develop a coercion strategy for a non-nuclear near-peer competitor.
Why Great Powers Compete to Control International Institutions
Authors: Owen John M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The world's two great powers, China and the United States, are competing over international order—that is, the rules, norms, and institutions that regulate relations among states and societies. China's ruling party is discontented with several features of the liberal international order that the United States and its allies constructed after World War II. Sino-American struggles over the content of institutions suggest that great powers compete to control international institutions. Such competition is especially intense when great powers have different domestic regimes, such as democracy and autocracy. Power and security are at stake because different types of international orders can grant material and social advantages to different types of states. My ecological theory of competition over international institutions makes three claims: (1) international institutions select for one regime type over alternatives; (2) the typical government believes that it is in its core interest to preserve its regime type; and (3) great powers can shape international institutions to select for their own regime type. I demonstrate these dynamics in great power relations in the interwar period (1919–1939).
Boom, Bling, Backbone, or Blip? The Signaling Inherent in Arms Transfers
Authors: Spindel Jennifer 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Why do states send and seek conventional weapons? Though it may seem obvious that the balance of power motivates states to do so, numerous conventional arms transfers do not conform to the balance of power logic. This article argues that states seek weapons because arms transfers send signals about political alignments. Misunderstanding this signaling dynamic is part of the reason why the arms trade literature reaches divergent findings about the causes and consequences of arms sales. To explain how signaling dynamics operate alongside balance of power considerations, this article proposes a theory of arms transfers as symbolic signals. The article presents a typology of conventional weapons based on the weapons’ military utility and prestige and shows that different types of conventional weapons transfers send different signals about the political closeness or distance between the sender and receiver. I examine the case of arms sales to the Middle East before the 1967 Six-Day War to show the signaling function of arms transfers.
Two Early Byzantine Bible Manuscripts in Christian Palestinian Aramaic
Authors: Phillips Kim 
Published: February 2025

Despite the ubiquitous use of Greek by the Christian church of the late antique Southern Levant, many Christians in the region also—or only—spoke Aramaic. Today, this dialect, known as Christian Palestinian Aramaic (CPA), is relatively sparsely attested in the form of regional inscriptions and, particularly, in the form of vernacular translations of Greek biblical, liturgical and theological texts. These translations survive predominantly as undertexts within palimpsest manuscripts.
Codex Climaci Rescriptus (CCR) is one of the most important palimpsest manuscript sources for the recovery of CPA texts. CCR was created around the tenth century; its superior text consists of Syriac translations of two theological works by John Climacus. This tenth century manuscript was manufactured using recycled parchment from at least eleven older, obsolete manuscripts whose texts had been scraped off in preparation for reuse. Two of these eleven manuscripts form the focus of the present study. The first—CCR II—was originally a manuscript of the Pauline Epistles in CPA translation; the second—CCR XI—was originally an Apostolos manuscript (i.e., it contained the Acts of the Apostles and the Catholic Epistles).
Cutting-edge multispectral imaging technology has been brought to bear on CCR in the last decade, enabling more detailed and accurate reconstructions of its various undertexts. With the benefit of this technology, this study offers a detailed codicological introduction to each of CCR II and CCR XI, fresh editions of the undertexts themselves, as well as a commentary that begins to evaluate the ongoing significance of this manuscript for biblical and linguistic studies.
3. CCR XI: Acts and Catholic Epistles
Authors: Phillips Kim 
Published: February 2025

The first part of the chapter provides a detailed codicological description of the early-period (c. sixth century) CPA Acts and Catholic Epistles manuscript: CCR XI. Six bifolia were recycled from this manuscript for use in CCR in the tenth century. The description includes a discussion of the paratextual features of the manuscript, and an initial discussion of the manuscript’s punctuation.
The second part of the chapter provides a fresh transcription of the CPA text of the eleven folios currently held by Museum of the Bible. Each page includes two brief marginal apparati: the first lists the differences in reading between the current transcription and that of Müller-Kessler and Sokoloff; the second consists of a brief textual apparatus.
