Field, place or space? A carnal ethnography of a therapeutic space-construct
Authors: Galazka Anna Milena 
Published: June 2023

PurposeIn advancing the academic discourse around the theory of field, place and space in ethnographic research, this paper proposes a carnal sociological reading of the meaning and form of the Lindsay Leg Clubs – third-sector community leg care centres for older adults with leg problems – as a therapeutic space-construct.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on non-formulaic, polymorphic ethnographic research in the UK Lindsay Leg Clubs conducted through multiple on-site and extramural engagements with the Leg Club community between 2019 and 2023 and an interview with the Leg Club founder and president, Professor Ellie Lindsay OBE. Wacquant's (2015) reflexive, enactive ethnographic approach is applied to develop an intellectual and carnal know-how of Leg Clubs as therapeutic space-constructs.FindingsThe researcher's “flesh and blood” experience of the Leg Clubs reveals the importance of cognitive and embodied appreciation of sounds, smells, sights, movements, the structures of wound stigma, centre-stage physical bodies of members and the volunteers, the material arrangement of the place and the researcher's own visceral and intellectual, biographical relation to the fieldwork to understand the therapeutic form and meaning of Leg Club spaces.Originality/valueApplying the carnal sociology approach to reveal the therapeutic form and meaning of the Leg Club spaces makes concrete the abstract distinctions between field, place and space in ethnographic research, hence advancing the discourse around the theory of field in ethnography. A carnal sociological reading of the Leg Club spaces has implications for an embodied understanding of broader community care spaces.
Conceptualising and measuring positive mental health literacy: a systematic literature review
Authors: Cresswell-Smith Johanna , Solin Pia , Wahlbeck Kristian , Tamminen Nina 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to systematically review how positive mental health literacy has been conceptualised and measured over the last 20 years. Positive mental health recognises the benefits of feeling good and functioning effectively. Developing clarity around conceptualisation and knowledge (or literacy) of what constitutes positive mental health is an area of continued development, and an important step in measuring the impact of mental health promotion.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic review of literature was performed to investigate how positive mental health literacy has been conceptualised and measured over the last 20 years. Databases searched included EDS, Scopus, ERIC, PsycINFO, CINAHL and SocIndex with fulltext. Search terms relating to positive mental health were combined with proximity operators within four words denoting knowledge, competence or literacy.

Findings
A total of 464 records were assessed on title level, with six articles included for final review. The final studies included three measures assessing participants’ knowledge of positive mental health, some of which included more distal themes such as awareness of coping strategies and emotional awareness. One measure, the Mental Health Promoting Knowledge – 10, stood out as the most fitting measure of positive mental health literacy.

Research limitations/implications
Our review approaches an under reported area of study, highlighting an area in need for further development with a few limitations. When building the search strategy, care was taken to line it up with literacy around positive mental health and its synonyms. The word “mental health” without positive specification was omitted in the final search strategy, increasing the risk of it also omitting potential articles of interest.

Practical implications
Our findings therefore highlight a knowledge gap in relation to conceptualisations and measures of positive mental health literacy, unfolding an area for further development. A more harmonised understanding of what is meant by positive mental health is an important step towards clarifying the concept and facilitating future study of the topic. Measures of positive mental health literacy could be an important indicator for mental health promotion.

Social implications
New ways of measuring positive mental health literacy can be a useful way to establish benefits of mental health promotion, taking a salutogenic approach to mental health.

Originality/value
These findings expose an apparent knowledge gap in relation to conceptualisations and measures of positive mental health literacy, highlighting an area in need for further development. Measures of positive mental health literacy could be an important indicator for mental health promotion.
Study on wear characteristics and authorized limits of switch rails of high-speed turnout
Authors: Wang Pu , Wang Shuguo , Ge Jing , Si Daolin , Yang Dongsheng 
Published: June 2023

PurposeIt is quite universal for high-speed turnouts to be exposed to the wear of the stock rail of the switch rail during the service process. The wear will cause the change of railhead profile and the relative positions of the switch rail and the stock rail, which will directly affect the wheel–rail contact state and wheel load transition when a train passes the turnout and will further impose serious impacts on the safety and stability of train operation. The purpose of this paper is to provide suggestions for wear management of high-speed turnout.Design/methodology/approachThe actual wear characteristics of switch rails of high-speed turnouts in different guiding directions were studied based on the monitoring results on site; the authorized wear limits for the switch rails of high-speed turnout were studied through derailment risk analysis and switch rail strength analysis.FindingsThe results show that: the major factor for the service life of a curved switch rail is the lateral wear. The wear characteristics of the curved switch rail of a facing turnout are significantly different from those of a trailing turnout. To be specific, the lateral wear of the curved switch rail mainly occurs in the narrower section at its front end for a trailing turnout, but in the wider section at its rear end when for a facing turnout. The maximum lateral wear of a dismounted switch rail from a trailing turnout is found on the 15-mm wide section and is 3.9 mm, which does not reach the specified limit of 6 mm. For comparison, the lateral wear of a dismounted switch rail from a facing turnout is found from the 35-mm wide section to the full-width section and is greater than 7.5 mm, which exceeds the specified limit. Based on this, in addition to meeting the requirements of maintenance rules, the allowed wear of switch rails of high-speed turnout shall be so that the dangerous area with a tangent angle of wheel profile smaller than 43.6° will not contact the switch rail when the wheel is lifted by 2 mm. Accordingly, the lateral wear limit at the 5-mm wide section of the curved switch rail shall be reduced from 6 mm (as specified) to 3.5 mm.Originality/valueThe work in this paper is of reference significance to the research on the development law of rail wear in high-speed turnout area and the formulation of relevant standards.
The cruise industry workforce crunch – generational changes in work values of job seekers
Authors: Raub Steffen , Cruz Margarita , Gorka Jens , Hodari Demian , Saul Lionel 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
In the wake of COVID-19, the cruise industry is experiencing an unprecedented talent management challenge. Extant research suggests a broad range of work values that may attract job candidates to the cruise industry. The purpose of this study is to assess whether there are significant differences in the importance ratings of these work values for the millennials, compared to those of the preceding generation X.

Design/methodology/approach
With the support of a leading recruitment agency, the authors obtained responses to an online survey of 1,320 job candidates, of whom 830 were millennials. Using a quantitative approach, the authors asked them to assess the importance of eight work value domains. The authors ranked these domains for the millennials and for generation X and compared mean importance ratings using t-tests.

Findings
The results of this study reveal that differences between millennials and generation X in the ranking of the eight work value domains do exist. The authors did not find support for any systematic differences in terms of “extrinsic” versus “intrinsic” work values. However, the results show that the importance of “ego-driven” work values (e.g. support, development, compensation, work–life balance and comfort) is significantly higher for millennials. Conversely, for the more “altruistic” factors, there are no significant differences between the two generations.

Originality/value
Based on a very large sample of job candidates from the cruise industry, the results support the predictions of generational theories. The authors show that differences in work value ratings between generation X and the millennials exist. The authors also provide a novel perspective on the dimensions along which these differences materialize.

Abstract

Rapidly advancing animal telemetry technologies paired with new statistical models can provide insight into the behaviour of otherwise unobservable free‐living animals. Changes in behaviour apparent from pairing telemetry with statistical models often occur as animals undertake key life‐history activities, such as reproduction. For many species that are secretive or occupy remote areas, these life‐history events are difficult to detect with conventional survey techniques, and consequently, vital rates are difficult to estimate.

We present a hierarchical modelling framework, which integrates movement data observed via animal‐borne telemetry and optional, infrequent survey data, to estimate individual‐ and population‐level reproductive success. The approach combines a mechanistic movement model and survival model, and allows for assessing the effects of hypothesized individual and environmental covariates on reproductive success. We first tested our approach with simulated data, and then applied it to movement data from migratory golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) breeding in southcentral Alaska across four breeding seasons.

We show that results supported our biological hypotheses that changes in movement coincided with the timing of reproductive failures, and that changes in movement could be used to assess breeding success (and failure) at the individual and population levels. The analysis also provided evidence of inter‐annual variation in population‐level nest success and the timing of nesting failures.

This new approach is adaptable to many species that care for young and can be tracked with telemetry devices, and can provide not only individual‐level information useful for testing ecological hypotheses, but estimates of demographic parameters that can directly inform conservation and management if tagged animals are representative of the population.
Taxing sugar‐sweetened beverages: A nonlinear pricing approach
Authors: Nuño‐Ledesma José G. , Wu Steven Y. , Balagtas Joseph V. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractTaxation is frequently implemented to discourage the consumption of sugary beverages. Despite their popularity, little is known about the impacts of taxes when sellers practice price discrimination. To address this issue, we use a standard nonlinear pricing model with one product and two buyer types to study the effects of taxation on (i) consumption, (ii) consumer and producer surpluses, and (iii) the seller's choice of market segmentation scheme. We find that a tax would lead to reductions in consumption, consumer surplus, and expected profit. Additionally, the measure increases the likelihood that the sellers would exclude buyers with low preferences for the beverage to exclusively serve buyers with high willingness to pay for the product.
The weight of the future
Authors: Mittermaier Amira 
Published: June 2023

SummaryIn this “hundreds” honoring Kathleen Stewart, I reflect on how a turn to affect can attune us to the emergent, to unfinished worlds, to futures as they throw themselves together, to things slipping in and out of existence, and to what lies nascent in the atmosphere. In darker moments, such as the aftermath of revolutions, the weight of the future can become unbearable.

SummaryIn this “hundreds” honoring Kathleen Stewart, I evoke a scene from my childhood to dwell on misrecognition and the intensities of what José Estaban Muñoz (2020) describes as a “sense of Brown,” that plural yet particular relatedness that emerges out of the displacements and intimacies of coloniality.

ZusammenfassungDie Onychomykose ist eine Pilzinfektion des Nagelorgans und betrifft sowohl Finger‐ als auch Zehennägel. Sie wird in Europa vor allem durch Dermatophyten verursacht. Die Diagnostik erfolgt mittels direktmikroskopischer, kultureller und/oder molekularer Methoden aus Nagelmaterial (Nagelspäne). Eine Lokaltherapie mit antimykotischem Nagellack wird bei leichten oder mäßig ausgeprägten Nagelinfektionen empfohlen. Bei mittelschwerer und schwerer Onychomykose wird empfohlen – falls keine Kontraindikationen bestehen – stets oral (systemisch) zu behandeln. Eine antimykotische Kombinationstherapie – oral und topisch – sollte dabei angestrebt werden. Ziel dieser Aktualisierung der deutschen S1‐Leitlinie ist es, Auswahl und Durchführung von geeigneter Diagnostik und Therapie zu vereinfachen. Die Leitlinie wurde unter Berücksichtigung aktueller internationaler Leitlinien und den Ergebnissen einer Literaturrecherche durch die Experten der Leitlinienkommission erstellt. Die Leitlinienkommission besteht aus Mandatsträgern der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft (DDG), des Berufsverbandes der Deutschen Dermatologen (BVDD), der Deutschsprachigen Mykologischen Gesellschaft (DMykG), der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie (DGHM), der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kinder‐ und Jugendmedizin e.V. (DGKJ), der Arbeitsgemeinschaft pädiatrische Dermatologie (APD) und der deutschen Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Infektiologie (DGPI). Methodisch wurde die Leitliniengruppe durch die Division of Evidence‐based Medicine (dEBM) begleitet. Die Leitlinie wurde nach einem umfangreichen internen und externen Review durch die beteiligten Fachgesellschaften freigegeben.

Published: June 2023

AbstractAimsDiabetes development mechanisms vary by weight status. We aimed to compare cardiometabolic risk and characterize fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) trajectories before diagnosing type 2 diabetes in individuals with/without obesity.MethodsData from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) were analysed. Participants without diabetes and with a body mass index of 18.5‐40 kg/m2 at baseline were included. Incident diabetes was ascertained by self‐reported physician diagnosis and/or antidiabetic drug use, FPG ≥126 mg/dl and/or HbA1c ≥6.5%. The difference in the FPG/HbA1c trajectory before the diabetes diagnosis in participants with/without obesity was examined using mixed‐effects models.ResultsAmong 11 925 eligible participants, 1361 incident diabetes cases (mean age: 61.4 years; male: 46.2%) were identified within 15 years of follow‐up. Obese diabetes showed higher levels of diastolic blood pressure and C‐reactive protein at diagnosis than non‐obese diabetes. Mixed‐effects models indicated the difference in the FPG trajectory before diagnosis by weight status was non‐significant with a slope difference of 0.149 mg/dl (SE = 0.642, p = .816, CHARLS) and 0.013 mg/dl (SE = 0.013, p = .337, ELSA). However, obese diabetes showed a steep increase in HbA1c before diagnosis with a slope difference of 0.036% (SE = 0.016, p = .021) in the CHARLS and 0.032% (SE = 0.014, p = .027) in the ELSA, respectively. Sex‐stratified analyses showed that the difference in HbA1c trajectory before the diabetes diagnosis by weight status was only significant in males.ConclusionsObese and non‐obese diabetes developments may share a similar FPG but distinct HbA1c trajectory. Obese diabetes interventions require more attention to cardiometabolic risks. Moreover, studies addressing weight/sex‐related differences in diabetes aetiologies and treatments are warranted.
When the league table lies: Does outcome bias lead to informationally inefficient markets?
Authors: Flepp Raphael , Merz Oliver , Franck Egon 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe study whether outcome bias persists in markets with actors who are financially incentivized to make optimal decisions. We test whether inherently noisy match outcomes from European football are correctly incorporated into prices from a betting exchange market. We find that market prices overestimate (underestimate) the winning probability of teams that previously overperformed (underperformed) in terms of match outcomes compared to their performance based on “expected goals.” This pattern is mirrored in negative (positive) betting returns on overperforming (underperforming) teams. These results suggest that even competitive market mechanisms fail to completely erase outcome bias.

AbstractPrevious studies have suggested that the Papez circuit may be involved in the cognitive impairment observed after hearing loss in presbycusis patients, yet relatively little is known about the pattern of changes in effective connectivity within the circuit. The aim of this study was to investigate abnormal alterations in resting‐state effective connectivity within the Papez circuit and their association with cognitive decline in presbycusis patients. The spectral dynamic causal modelling (spDCM) approach was used for resting‐state effective connectivity analysis in 61 presbycusis patients and 52 healthy controls (HCs) within the Papez circuit. The hippocampus (HPC), mamillary body (MB), anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), entorhinal cortex (ERC), subiculum (Sub) and parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) were selected as the regions of interest (ROIs). The fully connected model difference in effective connectivity between the two groups was assessed, and the correlation between effective connectivity alteration and cognitive scale was analysed. We found that presbycusis patients demonstrated decreased effective connectivity from MB, PCC, and Sub to ACC relative to HCs, whereas higher effective connectivity strength was shown from HPC to MB, from ATN to PHG and from PHG to Sub. The effective connectivity from PHG to Sub was significantly negatively correlated with the complex figure test (CFT)‐delay score (rho = −0.259, p = 0.044). The results support and reinforce the role of abnormal effective connectivity within the Papez circuit in the pathophysiology of presbycusis‐related cognitive impairment and reveal its potential as a novel imaging marker.

AbstractBackground and purposeThe endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been found altered in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, whether the ECS alteration is present in the early stage of MS remains unknown. First, we aimed to compare the ECS profile between newly diagnosed MS patients and healthy controls (HCs). Next, we explored the association of the ECS, biomarkers of inflammation, and clinical parameters in newly diagnosed MS patients.MethodsWhole blood gene expression of ECS components and levels of endocannabinoids in plasma were measured by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ultra‐high‐pressure liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, respectively, in 66 untreated MS patients and 46 HCs.ResultsNo differences were found in the gene expression or plasma levels of the selected ECS components between newly diagnosed MS patients and HCs. Interferon‐γ, encoded by the gene IFNG, correlated positively (ρ = 0.60) with the expression of G protein‐coupled receptor 55 (GPR55), and interleukin1β (IL1B) correlated negatively (ρ = −0.50) with cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2) in HCs.ConclusionsWe found no alteration in the peripheral ECS between untreated patients with MS and HC. Furthermore, our results indicate that the ECS has a minor overall involvement in the early stage of MS on inflammatory markers and clinical parameters when compared with HCs.
