The place where only gays go: constructions of queer space in the narratives of sexually diverse refugees
Authors: Powell Alex 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of how gay and lesbian spaces are constructed and deployed within the context of asylum claims by sexually diverse people. Through doing this, the author details the ways in which the present deployment of place, as a form of evidence for a relatively fixed conception of sexual difference, does not correspond to the self-conceptions of sexually diverse asylum seekers.

Design/methodology/approach
This article draws on the experiences of eight sexually diverse refugees who agreed to participate in semi-structured interviews. Deploying a queer narrative analysis approach, these experiences are explored to develop a detailed understanding of how sexually diverse spaces are constructed within refugee status determinations. This interview-led approach is combined with a critical epistemology informed by the queer theory to understand the role of place in the construction of sexual identity.

Findings
The central finding of this article is that engagement/attendance with/in particular places and spaces is overdetermined as a form of evidence of LGBTIQA+ identity within refugee status determination. Further findings relate to the relationship between places and sexual identities more generally. The paper helps to shed light on how sexually diverse identities are conceived in essentially ontological and fixed terms, with the result that places are often flattened, with the diversity and tensions within them being ignored and occluded.

Originality/value
The originality of this study emerges from the analysis of new qualitative data. This originality is strengthened by the successful combination of empirical research, queer theoretical insights and the application of this combination to policy. This remaining a relatively rare combination. In addition, in contrast to the existing literature, the paper looks specifically at how LGBTIQA+ or queer spaces are conceptualised within refugee status determination processes.

Authors: Saufa Arina Faila 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe purpose was to measure the service quality of school library in Yogyakarta based on user perceptions using the Libqual +TM method that used three dimensional indicators; affect of service, information control and library as place.Design/methodology/approachThe researcher used a quantitative method to examine the perceived scores, minimum expectations and ideal expectations given by the users, which then resulted in the average Adequency Gap (AG) and superiority gap (SG) scores. Researchers collected data through observation and distributed questionnaires to 93 respondents who were students in Yogyakarta.FindingsThe study found that (1) affect of service dimension, the user is satisfied with the librarian being very polite to the user with an AG score of 0.58 and an SG of −0.1. (2) The information control dimension shows that users are satisfied with the ease of searching for information with an AG score of 0.53 and an SG of −0.44. (3) The library as place dimension, users are satisfied with the library space which is always clean with an AG score of 0.4 and an SG of −0.13.Originality/valueThis study broadens the view regarding the evaluation of school library services using certain methods so that they can be used to improve the quality of library services.
Evaluation of psychological empowerment of academics in innovative pedagogical delivery: the role of inclusive leadership and achievement orientation
Authors: Vem Linus Jonathan , Ng Siew Imm , Sambasivan Murali , Maimako Sabastian Seddi 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
Innovative pedagogical delivery (IPD) and behaviour have been a major concern among academics in Nigeria. The purpose of this study is aimed at analyzing the impact of psychological empowerment (PE) on IPD through achievement orientation (AO) and perceived inclusive leadership (PIL) among academics of tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among the academics in Nigeria, and 350 responses were received. A multiple regression analysis was conducted using Smart-PLS version 3.

Findings
Findings are: (a) PE significantly impacts AO and IPD; (b) AO mediates the relationship between PE and IPD; and (c) PIL moderates the relationship between PE and AO.

Practical implications
It is recommended that practitioners and administrators in tertiary institutions pay attention to academics’ AO while integrating employee empowerment intervention for optimum results.

Originality/value
The findings emphasize AO in explaining the mechanism by which the relationship between PE and IPD holds sway. PIL explains the boundary conditions under which PE can effectively influence IPD.

Public perceptions of the police and violence: an examination of both sides of the issue
Authors: Davila Mario A. , Hartley Deborah J. , Brown Ben 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to gain a broad understanding of public perceptions of the police and violence.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses survey data collected from a nationally representative sample (N = 1,223) by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago. Descriptive, bivariate correlational and multivariate regression analyses of the data were conducted.FindingsDescriptive analyses show the populace is equally concerned about the police use of violence and violence against the police, but bivariate analyses indicate the two types of concern are unrelated, and multivariate regression analyses show that few variables impact both types of concern. Consistent with prior research, young people and racial/ethnic minorities reported greater concerns about police violence than did older adults and Whites, yet neither age nor race/ethnicity impacted concerns about violence against the police. Perceived mistreatment by the police was the only variable which impacted perceptions of police violence and violence against the police in a consistent and cogent manner.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine public perceptions of the police as both the agents and victims of violence. The results indicate public perceptions of the police are more complex than was previously believed.

PurposeContext matters in social entrepreneurship, and it matters a lot. Social entrepreneurs are deeply entrenched in the context where they operate: they respond to its challenges, are shaped by it, and attempt to shape it in turn. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how social entrepreneurship in Africa is still understood within the scope of Western theories, without much consideration for local variations of the commonly shared archetype of social entrepreneurship or for how African norms, values and beliefs may shape our common understanding of this phenomenon.Design/methodology/approachThe authors survey the often-neglected literature on social entrepreneurship in Africa and bring it together in this paper to discuss – also from the vantage point of their own experience and research in diverse African countries – how important assumptions in the social entrepreneurship literature are confirmed, enriched or challenged by key dimensions of African contexts.FindingsFour important themes in the literature on social entrepreneurship in Africa emerged – institutions, embedding values, entrepreneurial behaviour and bricolage and scaling impact – each with its own considerations of how African contexts may challenge predominant assumptions in the extant social entrepreneurship literature, as well as implications for future research.Originality/valueThe authors uncover ways in which the peculiarities of the African context may challenge the underlying – and mostly implicit – assumptions that have shaped the definition and analysis of social entrepreneurship. They end by offering their understanding of social entrepreneurship and its concomitant dimensions in Africa as a stepping stone for advancing the field in the continent and beyond.
Drone‐induced flight initiation distances for shorebirds in mixed‐species flocks
Authors: Wilson Joshua P. , Amano Tatsuya , Fuller Richard A. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Drone use has increased in the last decade prompting management efforts to regulate flights near vulnerable wildlife; however, these efforts are hindered by a lack of data characterising drone‐induced wildlife disturbance. Many shorebird populations are rapidly declining and efforts to survey them can be hampered by the inaccessibility of their habitat. Drone surveys might overcome this barrier, although there is a risk that increased drone use near shorebirds may cause disturbance and exacerbate declines. We characterise drone‐induced disturbance for mixed‐species shorebird flocks to inform the management of drones near shorebirds.

We conducted 240 drone approaches of mixed‐species flocks containing roosting non‐breeding shorebirds in Moreton Bay, eastern Australia. We performed approaches horizontally at varying vertical distances and recorded metrics characterising the drone, flock and environment. This enabled us to estimate the factors influencing disturbance as well as the distance of an approaching drone at which the flock is likely to take flight.

We determined the drone‐induced flight initiation distance for 12 species of waterbird, including seven shorebird species. We could not approach Eastern Curlew Numenius madagascariensis at any vertical distance below the recreational drone limit of 120 m without inducing flight; however, for all other species, there was less than 20% probability that they would take flight when approached by a drone at vertical distances above 60 m. We do not recommend approaches below 30 m. We also found that flight initiation of mixed‐species flocks is largely dictated by the most sensitive species present, and that disturbance generally increases with approach velocity, drone noise/size, decreasing distance, and if the drone is obscured by trees.

Policy Implications. We conclude that (i) drone use needs to be carefully regulated to ensure roosting shorebird flocks are not approached within distances that will disturb the most sensitive species likely to be present, (ii) researchers contemplating drone surveys need to carefully evaluate the risk of disturbance, especially where there are mixed‐species flocks, and (iii) that alternatives to drone surveys should be sought wherever disturbance data for the species potentially encountered are unavailable.
Health Risks Related to COVID‐19, Psychological Distress and Perceived Productivity
Authors: Park Sarah , Koch Michael 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has affected the lives of billions around the globe. Yet, our understanding of its impact on psychological distress and work productivity remains limited. Using data from two waves of the Understanding Society COVID‐19 study, a representative British survey of reactions to the COVID‐19 pandemic, comprising 5829 individuals, we find that perceived health risks related to COVID‐19 affect the productivity of working individuals negatively via increased psychological distress. Results also show that the extent of homeworking amplifies the negative relationship between psychological distress and productivity. Additionally, we find that the negative relationship between psychological distress and productivity is stronger for self‐employed individuals compared to those who are in paid employment. Psychological distress, self‐employment status and gender jointly interact in reducing productivity, such that self‐employed women experience the strongest decline in productivity. We discuss the implications of our findings in light of supporting individuals to reduce psychological distress and maintain their productivity following the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Preparing German pre‐service teachers in special needs education for school development—Can we do otherwise?
Authors: Resch Katharina , Hartmüller Eva , Walczuch Sarah , Marschall Sabine 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAlthough school development can be viewed as an emerging responsibility of teachers, special needs education in Germany does not leave sufficient room for non‐teaching tasks, leading to a knowledge gap in the professionalisation of pre‐service teachers with regard to school development upon entering the profession. This study focused on the preparedness of pre‐service teachers in school development as a professional task at the end of their initial teacher training. The respondents of the interview study are 12 pre‐service teachers enrolled at master level in special educational needs at a German university. The findings of the study report on the marginal situatedness of school development in the curriculum, the associated understanding of pre‐service teachers of school development and their low assessment of the relevance of school development within special needs education. The study closes with practical recommendations on how to tackle the low level of preparedness for school development tasks in German teacher education.
Short‐term impact of food safety standards on agri‐product exports: Evidence from Japan's positive list system on Chinese vegetable exports

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe examine the short‐term impact of the Positive List System (PLS), a strict food safety standard implemented by Japan in 2006, on vegetable exports from China to Japan. By applying a difference‐in‐difference model to unique monthly export data at the firm‐product level, we found that the PLS decreased the probability of Chinese vegetable firms exporting to Japan by 3.4%, and decreased their export quantity and value by 9.7% and 8.6%, respectively. Most of the policy impact is through a decrease in the intensive trade margin (i.e., how much to trade), rather than the extensive trade margin (i.e., whether to trade). We also found that foreign‐invested enterprises and smaller enterprises are less affected than non‐foreign‐invested enterprises and larger enterprises. Our results alleviate the concern that stricter food safety standards may exclude many firms, especially small ones, from the export market.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe rising prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a major challenge to global health. Existing therapeutic approaches have limitations, and there is a need for new, safe, and less invasive treatments. Interventional metabolic therapy is a new addition to the treatment arsenal for metabolic disorders. This review focuses on two interventional techniques: bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) and endovascular denervation (EDN). BAE involves embolizing specific arteries feeding ghrelin‐producing cells to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. EDN targets nerves that regulate metabolic organs to improve glycemic control in T2DM patients. We describe the current state of these techniques, their mechanisms of action, and the available safety and effectiveness data. We also propose a new territory called “Interventional Metabology” to encompass these and other interventional approaches to treating metabolic disorders.
2‐methoxyestradiol restrains non‐small cell lung cancer tumorigenesis through regulating circ_0010235/miR‐34a‐5p/NFAT5 axis
Authors: Zhang Yong , Mi Yuanyuan , He Chunhui 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundNon‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most prevalent and severe malignant tumors in the world and its molecular mechanism is still unclear. In recent years, increasing evidence indicates the significant roles of circRNAs in NSCLC. It has been determined that 2‐methoxyestradiol (2‐MeOE2) exerts antitumor roles in many cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of 2‐MeOE2 in regulating the development of lung cancer needs further elucidation.MethodsThe expression levels of circ_0010235, microRNA‐34a‐5p (miR‐34a‐5p), and nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) were detected by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). Cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion were detected by cell counting kit‐8 (CCK‐8), 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry and transwell assays, respectively. The interaction between miR‐34a‐5p and circ_0010235 or NFAT5 was predicted by bioinformatic software and confirmed by dual‐luciferase reporter assay.ResultsOur data showed 2‐MeOE2 hindered cell proliferation, invasion and induced apoptosis in NSCLC, which could be reversed by upregulation of circ_0010235 and NFAT5 or miR‐34a‐5p knockdown. Circ_0010235 and NFAT5 expression levels were increased, and miR‐34a‐5p expression level was decreased in NSCLC tissues and cells. In addition, 2‐MeOE2 treatment suppressed the expression of circ_0010235 and NFAT5 while promoted the expression of miR‐34a‐5p. Furthermore, circ_0010235 functioned as a molecular sponge of miR‐34a‐5p to regulate NFAT5 expression. Knockdown of circ_0010235 or 2‐MeOE2 treatment constrained tumor growth in vivo, and circ_0010235 depletion enhanced the inhibitory effect of 2‐MeOE2 on tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionThese findings demonstrated that 2‐MeOE2 retarded NSCLC progression by modulating the circ_0010235/miR‐34a‐5p/NFAT5 axis, thus providing a new perspective for 2‐MeOE2 treatment in NSCLC.
Why do we focus on the exception and not the rule? Examining the prevalence of mono‐ versus polysubstance use in the general population
Authors: Bailey Allen J. , McHugh R. Kathryn 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackground and aimsSubstance use disorders (SUDs) are predominantly studied as drug class specific constructs (e.g. opioid versus alcohol use disorder). Polysubstance use (PSU), or the use of two or more substances from multiple drug classes, is only captured diagnostically by the co‐occurrences of drug class‐specific SUDs, and in many ways is relegated to a secondary position within the literature. However, this is not consistent with mounting empirical evidence regarding the high prevalence of PSU patterns compared with a mono‐use pattern (i.e. all use contained within a single‐drug class). The current study measured how many individuals in the general United States population could be characterized as having a mono‐use versus PSU pattern.MethodsWe measured the prevalence of mono‐use versus PSU in those who used substances in the past year, those with at least two symptoms of an SUD and in those who received treatment for alcohol/drug problems in the past year using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) from years 2015–19.ResultsOf those who used substance(s) in the past year, 64% reported a mono‐use pattern. Importantly, only 26% of those who had at least two symptoms of an SUD and 22% of those who received treatment for substance use reported a mono‐use pattern.ConclusionsAlthough mono‐use of drugs is common in the United States at the public health level, it is a much less common presentation than polysubstance use (PSU) among individuals of even mild substance use disorder severity. This means that common efforts to study substances in isolation do not focus upon the most common presentation of the phenomenon. We discuss the importance and implications of embracing a PSU framework in the study of substance misuse and substance use disorders.

AbstractThis study investigated the cyclic fatigue and torsional resistance of Unicone Plus (UCP 25.06), Unicone (UC 25.06), Reciproc Blue (RB 25.08) and Wave One Gold (WOG 25.07) performed at body temperature (35° ± 1°C). Time and number of cycles to fracture (NCF), as well as torque and angular deflection were recorded. Fractured surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analysed using one‐way ANOVA and Holm–Sidak's tests for multiple comparison. The RB had a significantly higher time to fracture, followed by the WOG and UCP (p < 0.05). Regarding the NCF, there was no significantly difference between RB and WOG (p > 0.05). UC presented highest torque values and the lowest angular deflection (p < 0.05). SEM analysis demonstrated typical failures features in both cyclic and torsional fatigue tests. Overall, UC had the lowest time, NCF and angular deflection at fracture. RB presented the highest time to fracture and angular deflection values.
A frameshift deletion inF8associated with hemophilia A in Labrador Retriever dogs

Published: July 2023

AbstractHemophilia A is the most common inherited coagulation factor disorder in dogs. It manifests as excessive bleeding resulting from pathogenic variants in the X‐chromosomalF8gene encoding coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein. In this study, we performed careful clinical phenotyping to confirm hemophilia A in two distinct Labrador Retriever (LR) pedigrees. Whole‐genome sequencing on an affected dog from litter 1 identified a case‐specific frameshift deletion variant inF8predicted to cause a premature stop codon (c.2923_2924del, p.(E975Kfs*8)). This variant was hemizygous in all the affected males from litter 1 (n = 3), while all the unaffected LRs in the pedigree were heterozygous or wild‐type (n = 22). Additionally, screened samples from 199 LRs were all found to be wild‐type. As a result of this study, a gene test can now be developed to screen dogs before breeding to prevent further cases. However, it is important to note that the affected LR with decreased FVIII activity from litter 2 was wild‐type for the identified deletion variant, and no segregatingF8variants were detected when this dog's DNA sample was whole‐genome sequenced. Thus, the cause of decreased FVIII activity in this dog remains to be unraveled in future studies.
