Automatic multisensory integration follows subjective confidence rather than objective performance
Authors: Gao Yi , Xue Kai , Odegaard Brian , Rahnev Dobromir 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIt is well known that sensory information from one modality can automatically affect judgments from a different sensory modality. However, it remains unclear what determines the strength of the influence of an irrelevant sensory cue from one modality on a perceptual judgment for a different modality. Here we test whether the strength of multisensory impact by an irrelevant sensory cue depends on participants’ objective accuracy or subjective confidence for that cue. We created visual motion stimuli with low vs. high overall motion energy, where high-energy stimuli yielded higher confidence but lower accuracy in a visual-only task. We then tested the impact of the low- and high-energy visual stimuli on auditory motion perception. We found that the high-energy visual stimuli influenced the auditory motion judgments more strongly than the low-energy visual stimuli, consistent with their higher confidence but contrary to their lower accuracy. A computational model assuming common principles underlying confidence reports and multisensory integration captured these effects. Our findings show that automatic multisensory integration follows subjective confidence rather than objective performance and suggest the existence of common computations across vastly different stages of perceptual decision making.
Public value accounting and the use of performance measurements as a management tool in a context of various assessments
Authors: Höglund Linda , Mårtensson Maria , Nylinder Pia 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise our understanding of public value accounting (PVA) by studying the use and usefulness of performance measurements (PM) as a management tool. The authors do this from a perspective in which they address the complexity of various (sometimes conflicting) assessments of performance measurement and management (PMM) by different stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach
An interpretative case study using qualitative methods. The paper is based on 30 interviews conducted in 2018 and 2019 with respondents working with PMM at different levels, such as politicians, officials and health-care professionals. The study context was Region Stockholm (RS) in Sweden and its health-care division.

Findings
PMs become an instrumental tool for PMM, which led to output being promoted above outcome. The authors show that there is a conceptual shortcoming in the discussion of PVA, as the effort needed to achieve outcome-based information might exceed the ability of an organisation to deliver it. The authors address the importance of studying the interaction among different stakeholders, including politicians, the public and media, in research on PVA, as well as possible power relationships among stakeholders.

Originality/value
The authors contribute to the growing research on PVA and its call for more empirical research by offering a more nuanced interpretation of PVA activities. The authors do this by studying PMM and the nature of these activities in a public sector organisation from a multiple-stakeholder perspective.
Watch out for nomophobia, so it does not catch you! Effects of digital dependence syndrome on mental health
Authors: Contreras Pinochet Luis Hernan , Santos Stefani da Silva , Pardim Vanessa Itacaramby , de Souza Cesar Alexandre 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effects of nomophobia in the organizational environment, and the authors developed a research model consisting of the construct's loneliness, depression and anxiety. The growing competitiveness of the market and the need of many companies regarding the availability of employees demand attention.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors surveyed 454 Brazilian respondents and used covariance-based structural equation modeling to analyze the survey results. The model’s hypotheses proved significant, confirming the relationships proposed by the theoretical model.

Findings
Loneliness and depression, rather than anxiety, explained the influence of nomophobia on individuals’ ability to communicate when inserted in the professional context. Individuals were most likely to have high nomophobia incorporate psychological traits that involve emotional instability, and could benefit from the connection between people in a social group.

Practical implications
This study confirms that nomophobia can be a situational phobia evoked by the unavailability of a smartphone or by the idea of not having it, not being able to use it or losing it, even within the business context.

Social implications
The increase in loneliness and depression indicates a deficiency in the face of the smartphone’s benefits.

Originality/value
This paper provides contributions that seek to understand the effect of symptoms from smartphones in the workplace, also indicating that users may cause vulnerability. Companies can prevent vulnerability by creating policies prohibiting their use in the organization’s context and developing healthy habits that do not lead to addiction.
Are ESG performance-based incentives a panacea or a smokescreen for excess compensation?
Authors: Keddie S. Leanne , Magnan Michel 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to examine how the use of environmental, social and governance (ESG) incentives intersects with top management power and various corporate governance mechanisms to affect excess annual cash bonus compensation.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use a novel artificial intelligence (AI) technique to obtain data about ESG incentives use by firms in the S&P 500. The authors test the hypotheses with an endogenous treatment-regression and a contrast test.

Findings
When the top management team has power and uses ESG incentives, there is a 32% reduction in excess annual cash bonuses implying ESG incentives are an effective corporate governance tool. However, nuanced analyses reveal that when powerful management teams with ESG incentives are from environmentally sensitive industries, have a corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee or have long-term view institutional shareholders, they derive excess bonuses.

Practical implications
Stakeholders will better understand management’s motivations for the inclusion of ESG incentives in executive compensation contracts and be able to identify situations which require closer scrutiny.

Social implications
Given the increased popularity of ESG incentives, society, regulators, boards of directors and management teams will be interested in better understanding when these incentives might be effective and when they might be abused.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the use of ESG incentives in relation to excess pay. The authors contribute to both the CSR and executive compensation literatures. The work also uses a new methodological technique using AI to gather difficult-to-obtain data, opening new avenues for research.

Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectiveA long‐term follow‐up of the OPAL trial to compare the effect of patient‐initiated (PIFU) versus hospital‐based (HBFU) follow‐up on fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), quality of life (QoL) and healthcare use after 34 months of follow‐up.DesignPragmatic, multicentre randomised trial.SettingFour Danish departments of gynaecology between May 2013 and May 2016.Population212 women diagnosed with stage I low‐intermediate risk endometrial carcinoma.MethodsThe control group attended HBFU with regular outpatient visits (i.e., 8) for 3 years after primary treatment. The intervention group underwent PIFU with no prescheduled visits but with instructions about alarm symptoms and options of self‐referral.Main outcome measuresThe endpoints were FCR as measured by the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI) and QoL as measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire C‐30 (EORTC QLQ C‐30), and healthcare use as measured by questionnaires and chart reviews after 34 months of follow‐up.ResultsFCR decreased from baseline to 34 months in both groups and no difference was found between allocations (difference −6.31 [95% confidence interval −14.24 to 1.63]). QoL remained stable with no difference in any domains between the two arms at 34 months using a linear mixed model analysis. The use of healthcare was significantly lower in the PIFU group (P < 0.01).ConclusionPatient‐initiated follow‐up is a valid alternative to hospital‐based follow‐up for people who have been treated for endometrial cancer and have low risk of recurrence.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the process of implementing a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project at a continuation high school (CHS) and share the results of a youth‐designed research project that explores barriers to high school completion.Data Sources and Study SettingYPAR was implemented across three cohorts at a CHS in the central coast of California from 2019 to 2022. Student survey respondents were enrolled CHS students between March and April 2021.Study DesignA modified YPAR curriculum integrating research methodology and social justice topics was used to guide student‐led research that resulted in a cross‐sectional survey.Data CollectionField notes maintained by the first author documented the process of implementing YPAR including the curriculum, conversations, and research decisions and procedures. A student‐designed survey disseminated to all enrolled students resulted in 76 (66%) participant responses. The survey included 18 close‐ended questions and three narrative responses.Principal FindingsThis study details how YPAR methodologies can be translated to a high school credit recovery program. For example, student cohorts were needed to maintain continuity over time. A student‐designed survey revealed that 72% of student respondents reported taking care of family members and illuminated high rates of depression symptoms.ConclusionsThis study offers a detailed description of how we implemented YPAR at a credit recovery program and provides student‐driven perspectives on educational reform and evaluation. This project addresses the implementation and challenges of using YPAR to engage youth in transformational resistance to rapidly study and improve CHS' policy and practice.

Thoracoscopic repair for late‐presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia with thoracic kidney in a child
Authors: Fukuhara Masahiro , Kaisyakuji Yushi , Sato Tomoe , Izaki Tomoko 
Published: June 2023

AbstractCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with a hernia sac and thoracic kidney is a very rare congenital anomaly. Recently, the usefulness of endoscopic surgery for CDH has been reported. We herein report a patient who underwent thoracoscopic repair of CDH with a hernia sac and thoracic kidney. A 7‐year‐old boy was referred to our hospital due to a diagnosis of CDH without clinical symptoms. Computed tomography showed herniation of the intestine into the left thorax and left‐sided thoracic kidney. The key points of operation are resection of the hernia sac and identification of the suturable diaphragm under the presence of the thoracic kidney. In the present case, after repositioning the kidney to the subdiaphragmatic area completely, the border of the diaphragmatic rim was clearly visualized. Good visibility allowed resection of the hernia sac without damaging the phrenic nerve and closure of the diaphragmatic defect.
Navigating through the haemostatic paradox in kidney failure: A practical overview
Authors: Caruana Jessica , Riva Nicoletta , Vella Kevin , Davenport Andrew , Gatt Alexander 
Published: June 2023

SummaryChronic kidney disease (CKD) affects around 9.1% of humankind globally resulting in a significant health burden. Some of these individuals will also require renal replacement therapy with dialysis due to complete kidney failure. Patients with CKD are known to be at increased risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. Often it is very difficult to manage these yin and yang since both risks tend to co‐exist. Clinically, very few studies have looked at the effects of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants in this highly vulnerable subgroup of medical patients and evidence is very limited. This review attempts to explain the current state‐of‐the‐art regarding the basic science of haemostasis in patients with end‐stage kidney disease. We also try to transfer this knowledge into the clinics by looking at some common haemostasis challenges that are encountered in this cohort of patients and what evidence and guidance there is for their optimal management.
Features in children's counting books that lead dyads to both count and label sets during shared book reading

Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study examined how book features influence talk during shared book reading. We used data from a study in which parent–child dyads (n = 157; child's Mage = 43.99 months; 88 girls, 69 boys; 91.72% of parents self‐reported as white) were randomly assigned to read two number books. The focus was comparison talk (i.e., talk in which dyads count a set and also label its total), as this type of talk has been shown to promote children's understanding of cardinality. Replicating previous findings, dyads produced relatively low levels of comparison talk. However, book features influenced the talk. Books containing a greater number of numerical representations (e.g., number word, numeral, and non‐symbolic set) and a greater word count elicited more comparison talk.
A data‐driven framework to model the organism–environment system
Authors: Milocco Lisandro , Uller Tobias 
Published: June 2023

AbstractOrganisms modify their development and function in response to the environment. At the same time, the environment is modified by the activities of the organism. Despite the ubiquity of such dynamical interactions in nature, it remains challenging to develop models that accurately represent them, and that can be fitted using data. These features are desirable when modeling phenomena such as phenotypic plasticity, to generate quantitative predictions of how the system will respond to environmental signals of different magnitude or at different times, for example, during ontogeny. Here, we explain a modeling framework that represents the organism and environment as a single coupled dynamical system in terms of inputs and outputs. Inputs are external signals, and outputs are measurements of the system in time. The framework uses time‐series data of inputs and outputs to fit a nonlinear black‐box model that allows to predict how the system will respond to novel input signals. The framework has three key properties: it captures the dynamical nature of the organism–environment system, it can be fitted with data, and it can be applied without detailed knowledge of the system. We study phenotypic plasticity using in silico experiments and demonstrate that the framework predicts the response to novel environmental signals. The framework allows us to model plasticity as a dynamical property that changes in time during ontogeny, reflecting the well‐known fact that organisms are more or less plastic at different developmental stages.
Combined orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment in an adolescent patient with traumatically ankylosed incisors: A case report
Authors: Li Kun , Sun Peng , Sun Jing , Wang Tiejun 
Published: June 2023

AbstractSymmetric extraction of premolars is a frequently used orthodontic treatment for dental crowding and protrusion. However, when a patient has incisors with ankylosis, the establishment of a treatment protocol often plagues orthodontists. An adolescent patient with a history of incisor trauma sought treatment for dental protrusion and crowding. Upon percussion of his infrapositioned maxillary central incisors, characteristic dull metallic sounds were noted, and a lack of normal mobility of these teeth under the application of external forces was detected. Follow‐up radiographs after the trauma showed replacement root resorption of the maxillary central incisors. Based on clinical and radiological findings, ankylosis of the maxillary central incisors was tentatively diagnosed. A combination of orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment options involving extraction of the maxillary central incisors and mandibular first premolars was chosen to resolve the functional and esthetic problems. After treatment, well‐aligned dentition, improved smile esthetics, and a more harmonious facial profile were achieved, and these outcomes remained stable during the follow‐up period. This case report illustrates a viable treatment strategy for tackling predicaments caused by ankylosed incisors, which is unusual in the literature.
Locating the Belt and Road Initiative's spatial trilectics
Authors: Cheng Han , Apostolopoulou Elia 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we survey the expanding body of literature on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Chinese and Anglophone geography, and locate the main lines of development. The emerging scholarship approaches the BRI as a spatial discourse and examines the production of geographical reasoning in statecraft. It also links up with studies of the BRI as both a material project and an everyday experience. We argue that it is in this combined understanding of BRI's multiple registers, as discourse, project, and experience, that a trilectical approach for future geographical engagement can be identified as the BRI edges to its second decade.
A typology of multi‐platform integration strategies
Authors: Schreieck Maximilian , Ondrus Jan , Wiesche Manuel , Krcmar Helmut 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBig Tech companies such as Alphabet (Google), Apple, Meta (Facebook), Alibaba, and Tencent have repeatedly demonstrated their capability to integrate multiple digital platforms successfully. However, the grasp of how multi‐platform integration strategies are articulated and the potential benefits they bring forth remains limited. Previous research has predominantly focused on launch, growth, and competition strategies for single platforms, prompting us to develop a typology of four multi‐platform integration strategies: collection, consolidation, symbiosis, and assemblage. For each strategy, we examine what complementarities are generated and provide real‐world examples. Subsequently, we delve into a discussion of the limitations and implications associated with the integration of multiple digital platforms. We conclude by proposing avenues for future research on multi‐platform integration strategies.
Indium containing sillenite semiconductor: Synthesis, structural, spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric analysis

Published: June 2023

AbstractSillenite‐type ceramics are non‐centrosymmetric phases of ongoing research interest because of their structural defects and optoelectronic properties. We report a series of sillenite compounds with a general composition Bi12(Bi3+4/5−3xIn3+5x□1/5−2x)O19.2+3x□0.8−3x for x = 0.03–0.27 to understand how the crystal–physicochemical properties change with a successive filling of empty Bi3+ positions in the tetrahedral site by In3+ cation. Conventional solid‐state synthesis method is used to prepare the microcrystalline samples. Each sample is characterized by X‐ray diffraction, Raman, UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry (TG/DSC). X‐ray powder data Rietveld refinement reveals that phase‐pure samples can be obtained for x = 0.03–0.08 in the space group I23. Appearance of starting In2O3 as minor phases with the final products for 0.10 < x < 0.27 suggests for xmax = 0.08. The successive decrease of the lattice parameter indicates the incorporation of smaller In3+ cations in the structure. The effect of the lone electron pairs of Bi3+ and the structural cation vacancies lead to the modification of the interatomic bond lengths. At least one Raman active phonon mode shows hardening for decreasing cation vacancy concentration in the system. The bandgap energy increases with increasing indium content. An additional absorption band at lower energy for x = 0.03–0.08 complements the theoretical study, which completely disappears for x > 0.08. The stronger In–O bonds play pivotal roles in the thermal stability of the phases studied by TGA/DSC analysis.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this work, a series of Al2O3–Ce:YAG phosphor powders were synthesized by regulating the excess Al3+ of (Y,Ce)3Al5O12 via coprecipitation method for the first time, where Al3+, Ce3+, and Y3+ elements were uniformly distributed. With the increase of Al3+ content, the morphology of the powders changed from wormlike shapes to flaky shapes, and Y3Al5O12 phases had a tendency to convert to YAlO3 phases. The x wt.% Al2O3–(Y0.999Ce0.001)3Al5O12 (x = 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70) composite phosphor ceramics (CPCs) were obtained by vacuum sintering (1775°C × 10 h), where Al2O3 and Ce:YAG phases were also well‐distributed. When the Al2O3 content was 30–40 wt.%, the average grain size of Al2O3 was close to that of Ce:YAG. A solid‐state laser lighting device was constructed by a 450 nm laser source and CPCs in a reflection mode. By adjusting the laser power, the correlated color temperature (CCT) values of white laser diodes (LDs) were achieved close to the standard white light of 6500 K. Impressively, the white LDs equipped with the 40 wt.% Al2O3‐containing CPCs showed the optimum CCT of 6498 K (color coordinates: 0.31 and 0.38), as well as a high luminous flux of 1169 lm and efficiency of 166 lm/W at the LD power of 7.05 W. This work has provided a potential idea to optimize the composition uniformity of Al2O3–Ce:YAG CPCs as also to explore their excellent performance in the application of white laser lighting.
