Authors: Taylor Jr. Scott , Whalen Elizabeth A. , Norris Cortney L. 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This two-part exploratory study aims to investigate the perceptions of active lifestyle individuals and general craft beer consumers toward no- and low-alcohol craft beers. The influence of advertising appeals is also tested to determine the effectiveness of value-expressive and guilt appeals in determining switching behaviors.

Design/methodology/approach
The first study used a mixed-methods approach to determine perceptions and switching behaviors for active lifestyle individuals. The first part of the study presented respondents with one of three advertisements, the ads were designed to either elicit a value expressive appeal, a guilt appeal or a control. The second part of this study presented respondents with a series of open-ended questions seeking further information on their perceptions and preferences regarding no- and low-alcohol craft beers. The second study assessed perceptions of general craft beer consumers as they related to the three advertisements.

Findings
The results of this quantitative studies did not find any significant differences between the three ad slogans; however, the results of the qualitative study do indicate differing perceptions and potential switching behaviors for active lifestyle individuals.

Research limitations/implications
This research advances knowledge on advertising appeals for no- and low-alcoholic craft beers.

Practical implications
Brewers and marketers gain insights into two different consumer groups perceptions and potential switching behaviors toward no- and low-alcohol craft beers.

Originality/value
This research tests how advertising appeals influence perceptions and potential switching behaviors of active lifestyle individuals and general craft beer consumers toward no- and low-alcohol craft beers.

PurposeThis research investigates factors affecting the intention to sort waste. Specifically, this research aims to develop a waste-sorting intention model by extending the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and to test the model to ensure the model's goodness-of-fit, validity and reliability.Design/methodology/approachThis research used a quantitative research methodology. Data were collected from 460 respondents using an online questionnaire. Some statistical analyses were performed to analyze the data: descriptive statistics, factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis-structural equation modeling (CFA-SEM), SEM and Cronbach's alpha analysis.FindingsThe result shows that the intention to sort waste was directly affected by attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), moral obligation and facility support. Environmental concerns, waste-sorting knowledge and time availability indirectly influenced the intention to sort waste. The testing indicated that the proposed model was fit, valid and reliable.Practical implicationsThe model provides a more comprehensive understanding of waste-sorting intention. The central and local governments can use the results to encourage waste-sorting intention in the community.Originality/valueThis research is believed to be the first study to develop and test the waste-sorting intention model that extends the TPB model by incorporating moral obligation, facility support, policy and regulation support, environmental concerns, waste-sorting knowledge and time availability into the traditional TPB model.

Published: April 2023

PurposeThe present study aimed to assess performance of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in case organization by considering potential performance measures and analysis using scoring approach.Design/methodology/approach50 performance measures grouped into five dimensions namely manufacturing management, manufacturing economics, manufacturing strategy, manufacturing technology and workforce were considered for the analysis. The study had been done with relevance to automotive component manufacturing organization. Further, questionnaire for each performance measure was developed to gather expert inputs regarding different performance aspects of I4.0 in case organization. Reliability of the expert responses towards questionnaire was assessed by computing Cronbach's alpha (a) using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software.FindingsFindings of the study revealed overall I4.0 performance index (OIPI) of 0.71, i.e. 71% signifying improvement scope of 29% pertaining to I4.0 adoption. Gap analysis was performed across dimensions and performance measures to realize the weaker areas. Gap analysis revealed workforce dimension with highest gap and manufacturing management with lowest gap. The gaps that obstruct performance of I4.0 are being recognized and proposals for improvement were provided to the industrial practitioners. Based on further analysis, dimensions and performance measures found to be weaker.Practical implicationsThe study helped industrial practitioners and managers to create the foundation for evaluating performance of I4.0-focused organization. Industry practitioners can employ the study to understand different performance measures with respect to different dimensions and realize the significance of I4.0 adoption.Originality/valueThe identification of performance dimensions and measures for I4.0 performance measurement and assessment using scoring approach is the original contribution of the authors.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study evaluated the physical, mechanical, barrier properties, and transition temperatures of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films with embedded zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) nanoparticles carrying a natural antimicrobial, trans‐cinnamaldehyde (TC). The ZIF‐8 nanoparticles were synthesized using a sonochemical method and incorporated into polymeric matrices at mass ratio concentrations of 0% (control film) to 5% weight of ZIF‐8@TC to PVA. Solutions were mixed, cast onto Petri dishes and dried for 12 h at 37°C in a ventilated oven. The film samples were stored in airtight containers at room temperature and used within 1 week. The engineering properties of the PVA/ZIF‐8@TC films were compared with those of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film commonly used for packaging of spinach leaves. The glass transition, melting, and crystallization temperatures of PVA compositive films all increased (p < 0.05) with ZIF‐8@TC concentration. When exposed to high relative humidity environments, the PVA/ZIF‐8@TC films had lower equilibrium moisture content (p < 0.05) than the LDPE film. Although the composite films have different tensile properties from the LDPE film, embedding ZIF‐8@TC into PVA films improved the tensile strength by 17%, making the PVA/ZIF‐8@TC films suitable for low load‐bearing applications such as food packaging. The gas barrier properties of PVA‐based films differed only slightly with added ZIF‐8@TC (p < 0.05).Practical ApplicationPVA/ZIF‐8@TC films are appropriate environment‐friendly alternatives to polymeric food packaging in terms of their functional properties.

AbstractObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to investigate Bregs, their regulatory effects on Th17/Treg cell balance, and the release of downstream inflammatory factors in a mouse model of low‐density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr)−/− + Pristane.MethodsAfter the establishment of the mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with atherosclerosis (AS), 8‐week‐old LDLr−/− + Pristane mice (n = 10) were included in the SLE + AS group. Furthermore, 8‐week‐old MRL/lpr and C57 mice were used as the SLE and normal control groups, respectively (n = 10 per group). After feeding the mice a high‐fat diet for 14 weeks, peripheral blood and spleen of mice were collected, and Bregs, Th17, and Treg cells and related inflammatory factors were detected by flow cytometry, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction.ResultsThe number of Bregs and Tregs in spleen lymphocytes of SLE + AS mice significantly decreased compared with the C57 group (p < .05), whereas the number of Th17 cells significantly increased (p = .000). Furthermore, the proportion of Bregs showed a negative correlation with the Th17/Treg ratio (p = .03). Mice in the SLE + AS group showed higher serum interleukin (IL)‐10, IL‐17, and tumor necrosis factor‐α levels than those in the SLE and C57 groups (p < .05). Furthermore, IL‐35 and transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β expression was reduced in the SLE + AS group compared with the C57 group (p < .05).ConclusionsThe proportion of Breg decreases was negatively associated with increased Th17/Treg which was increased in SLE + AS mice, indicating that Bregs may regulate Th17/Treg cell homeostasis and cytokine release via IL‐35 and TGF‐β production.

AbstractIn situ follicular B cell neoplasm, previously known as follicular lymphoma in situ, is a neoplastic proliferation of follicular lymphoma‐like B cells confined to the germinal centers. Herein, we report a case of a woman in her 70s who initially presented with several enlarged abdominal lymph nodes. Seven months later during follow‐up, a solitary pulmonary nodule was detected. As it was close to the hilum, lobectomy was performed. The intraoperative frozen section showed fibrosis and a collection of lymphocytes and macrophages. Therefore, the lymph nodes were sampled. Station 4 and 10 lymph nodes exhibited similar tumor cells and were immunohistochemically positive for CD10 and BCL2. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with in situ follicular neoplasm and is currently under observation. In situ follicular neoplasm is typically a slowly progressive neoplasm; however, it can present as a rapidly enlarging pulmonary nodule complicated by pulmonary aspergillosis.

AbstractMegaherbivores play a critical role in the ecology of African savannas and grasslands. In addition, these systems are forecast to experience more frequent and severe droughts as a product of changes in the global climate. Thus, the continued conservation of megaherbivores and their associated ecosystems will require a better understanding of how megaherbivores respond to drought by shifting their movement, diet and social behaviour. We address this need by investigating the factors affecting changes in the abundance of common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius; hereafter: ‘hippos’) throughout the six major rivers of Kruger National Park, South Africa, during and following the severe drought of 2015/2016. Specifically, we aimed to understand the role of two environmental characteristics that have relevance to hippos and that changed in response to drought: vegetation condition and the extent of pooled surface water. In addition, we investigated the extent to which pre‐drought density affected changes in hippo abundance. Although vegetation and daytime refugia both appeared to influence pre‐drought hippo abundance, these factors were less important to the change in hippo abundance related to the drought. Instead, the response to drought was most strongly related to the pre‐drought abundance of hippos, where river segments supporting more than 50 individuals prior to the drought in 2015 decreased by more than half on average. Furthermore, we show that the degree of aggregation decreased from 2015 to 2016 because of the drought, but then began to increase again as the rains returned in 2017. Our results suggest that in addition to the large pools that support large aggregations of hippos in typical years, additional smaller pools are likely important for accommodating this drought‐induced dispersion. However, maintaining this distribution of pools will likely become more challenging as southern Africa's population and water demands increase.
Expression of ADAMTS 1‐4‐8 and placental growth factor in ovary and oviduct during pregnancy in the first trimester

Published: April 2023

AbstractA Disintegrin and Metalloprotease Domains with Thrombospondins Motifs (ADAMTS), proteinases responsible for the destruction of extracellular matrix structures, have essential roles in the physiological and pathological processes of the female reproductive system, which is a dynamic structure. This study aimed to evaluate the immunoreactivity of placental growth factor (PLGF) and ADAMTS' (1, ‐4, and ‐8) in the ovary and oviduct during pregnancy in the first trimester. Our findings suggest a predominant role of ADAMTS‐4 and ADAMTS‐8 as proteoglycan‐degrading enzymes from the ADAMTS‐1 in the first trimester. As an angiogenic factor, PLGF showed more immunoreactivity than ADAMTS‐1 in the ovary. This study provides the first evidence that ADAMTS‐4 and ADAMTS‐8 are more expressed in ovarian cells and follicles at different developmental stages during the first trimester of pregnancy than ADAMTS‐1. Consequently, we suggest that ADAMTSs and PLGF act together and may exert specific effects on the formation, stabilisation, and function (or a combination thereof) of the matrix surrounding and protecting the follicles.
Ecology, opportunity or threat? Drivers of the caracal (Caracal caracal) population decline in South Africa
Authors: Crookes D. J. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAnecdotal evidence suggests that there is interspecific competition between black‐backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) and caracal (Caracal caracal) on farmland in South Africa. Home range data were used across both years (1983–2016) and provinces, as well as polynomial interpolation, to quantitatively assess changes in the population of caracal and black‐backed jackal over time. The jackal abundance estimates had low uncertainty, while the caracal data had high uncertainty. A Gaussian model of interspecific competition was developed, using the properties of the Gaussian model and the more reliable jackal abundance data to reduce the uncertainty associated with the caracal data. It was found that caracals have actually declined in South Africa over the past few decades. Caracals are both beneficial to society in terms of trade and other uses and a threat to farmers in terms of livestock predation. To explore the drivers for hunting further, a predator–prey model was developed. The model found that killing for trade is not the main driver for declines in caracal numbers. However, reducing the persecution of caracal on farmland actually stabilises the number of black‐backed jackal, resulting in ‘win–win’ outcomes for both farmers and caracal. A concerted Africa‐wide response to caracal declines is needed.

AbstractBackgroundVarious strategies of weaning V‐A ECMO have been described. PCRTO is a weaning technique which involves serial decremental pump revolutions until a retrograde flow from the arterial to venous ECMO cannula is achieved. It has been reported as a feasible weaning strategy in the pediatric population, but its application in adults has not been widely reported.MethodsThis was a case series including all adult patients who underwent PCRTO during weaning from V‐A ECMO at a tertiary ECMO center between January 2019 and July 2021. The primary end point was the successful weaning from V‐A ECMO support.ResultsA total of 57 runs of PCRTO in 36 patients were analyzed—45 (78.9%) of the trials were concluded successfully. The median retrograde blood flow rate during PCRTO was 0.6 ± 0.2 L/min, and the median duration of each PCRTO was 180 (120–240) min. Of the 35 patients who had at least one session of successful PCRTO, 31 (88.6%) were ultimately weaned from ECMO. There were no major complications from PCRTO including systemic or circuit thrombosis.ConclusionsPCRTO is a feasible strategy for assessing readiness for weaning from V‐A ECMO with a low risk of adverse events and high rate of predicting eventual successful ECMO decannulation. Further investigation including comparison with alternative weaning strategies in prospective studies is required to confirm the approach.
‘It should be more outspoken and not hushed away, not like put in a dark box’: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of experiences of menopause voiced by women with learning disabilities
Authors: Langer‐Shapland Katie , Minton Stephen J. , Richards Nel 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundThere is little research into experiences of menopause voiced by women with learning disabilities, who can be neglected in academic research. There is a particular lack of knowledge around the psychological and social experiences of menopause in this population, and how changes are managed. This study sought to explore these experiences.MethodsExperiences of five women with lived experience of menopause, being seen by community National Health Services specialising in learning disabilities, were captured with semistructured interviews and analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis.FindingsFive superordinate themes were identified, involving the importance of having information about menopause, challenges of periods, observable changes in menopause, the importance of social connection, and managing menopause independently.ConclusionsThis study highlights the need for clinicians and carers to understand the variety of impacts menopause can have on women with learning disabilities, including emotional and social aspects, and the need to initiate conversations regarding menopause and available treatments.

AbstractObjectivesTracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is considered the gold standard for voice rehabilitation after total laryngectomy. One of the main causes of treatment failure, and a potentially serious complication, is the TEP enlargement and/or leakage around the voice prosthesis. The injection of biocompatible material to increase the volume of the puncture surrounding tissue has been studied as a popular option for conservative treatment of enlarged tracheoesophageal fistula. The aim of this paper was to perform a systematic review of the efficacy and safety of such treatment.DesingnSearch conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scielo and Web of Science and through the meta‐searcher Trip Database based on Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis (PRISMA) statement.SettingsHuman experiments published in peer‐reviewed journals, where investigators assessed the use of peri‐fistular tissue augmentation for periprosthetic leakage were evaluated.ParticipantsLaryngectomized patients with voice prosthesis, presenting periprosthetik leak due to enlarged fistula.Main outcomes measuresmean‐duration without new leak.ResultsA total of 196 peri‐fistular tissue augmentation procedures in 97 patients were found in the 15 selected articles. The 58.8% of patients had a time without periprosthetic leak after treatment of >6 months. The 88.7% of tissue augmentation treatments resulted in periprosthetic leakage cessation. The general level of evidence of the studies included in this review was low.ConclusionsTissue augmentation treatment is a minimally invasive, biocompatible and safe solution that temporarily resolves periprosthetic leaks in many cases. There is no standard technique or material, and treatment needs to be individualised according to the experience of the practitioner and the characteristics of the patient. Future randomised studies are needed to confirm these results.
