Navigating the emotional challenges of ethnographic accounting research: notes from first-time ethnographers
Authors: Repenning Nathalie , DeMott Kai 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This study aims to better understand the emotional challenges that inexperienced accounting researchers may face in conducting ethnographies. To do so, the authors use Arlie Russell Hochschild’s (1979, 1983) notions of “feeling rules” and “emotion work” to shed light on the possible nature and impact of these challenges, and how her ideas may also become fruitful for academic purposes.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors take a reflective approach in sharing the raw observation notes and research diaries as first-time ethnographers in the area of management accounting. The authors use these to analyze “unprocessed” experiences of emotional challenges from the fieldwork and how the authors learned to cope with them.

Findings
The authors illustrate how emotional challenges in conducting ethnographies can be rooted in a clash with prevalent feeling rules of certain study situations. The authors explore the conditions under which these clashes occur and how they may prompt researchers to respond through means of emotion work to (re-)stabilize those situations. Based on these insights, the authors also discuss how wider conventions of the accounting academy may contribute to emotional challenges as they stand in contrast to principles of ethnographic research.

Originality/value
There remains a tendency in the accounting domain to largely omit emotional challenges in the making of ethnographies, especially in writing up studies. In this paper, the authors are motivated to break this silence and openly embrace such challenges as an asset when the authors talk about the process of creating knowledge.
Give peace a chance … for what? Paine, Kant and democratic peace
Authors: Frankel Garion , Nederman Cary J. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPaul Kelly pays scant attention to the so‐called ‘democratic peace’ thesis that has played a major role in recent International Relations scholarship, a lacuna which we regard to be serious. Our paper investigates the normative background to the connection between democracy and peace, commonly associated with Immanuel Kant. We argue that attention should be devoted instead to the critique of international conflict found in the writings of Thomas Paine, who (unlike Kant) offers a politically grounded account of both why peace among nations is desirable and how that might be achieved. In particular, we consider Paine's views on democratic peace through the lens of his goals of eliminating the tyranny of kings and aristocrats and of ameliorating the material conditions of the poor. Paine contended that the establishment of global peace paralleled a process of global democratisation that would liberate the masses from their political and economic exploitation at the hands of a powerful few, whose interests converged in the prosecution of war.
Rainfall shocks and risk aversion: Evidence from Southeast Asia
Authors: Liebenehm Sabine , Schumacher Ingmar , Strobl Eric 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe analyze how individual risk aversion changes in response to shocks in an agrarian setting, and the role of changes in yields and prices as two potential channels. To do so we specify a theoretical model that describes temporal alterations in risk aversion. Empirically, we test the model's proposition by combining individual‐level panel data with historical rainfall data for rural Thailand and Vietnam. We find that rainfall shocks increase individuals risk aversion, whereby the largest effects are observed among households that are net buyers of food commodities. Regarding potential channels, only prices seem to explain–and even then just to a very small extent–the increase in net buyers' risk aversion. Our findings imply that shocks can increase risk aversion, and, in the absence of functioning credit and insurance markets, may ultimately lead to decisions that perpetuate poverty.
Putting first things first1: Ordering DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) in light of subsidiarity
Authors: Koenig Emery , Naughton Michael 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAs with any proposal for institutional reform, and especially one that has gained so much ground in such a short amount of time, this paper asks whether diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement is good for corporations. Are businesses stronger with DEI practices and ideas or weaker? We believe that the DEI movement is asking the right questions: How do we create more just and equitable institutions? The challenge, however, is whether this movement is giving the right answers to such questions. The main premise of our paper is that without deeper principles than DEI itself, these qualities of corporate life will be misunderstood, misused, and disordered in our increasingly fragmented and politicized culture. We propose in this essay that “subsidiarity” serves as one of those deeper principles that can order and enrich our understanding of DEI. It serves as a gift principle that begins to reveal the deepest nature of our work, namely, that our work allows us to exercise our gifts in serving others.
Wnt10b regulates osteogenesis of adipose‐derived stem cells through Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway in osteoporosis

Published: June 2023

AbstractOur previous finding revealed that the Wnt10b RNA expression of osteoporotic adipose‐derived stem cells (OP‐ASCs) with impaired osteogenic capacity was significantly reduced than that of ASCs. There are no ideas that the relationship between the OP‐ASCs' impaired osteogenic potential and Wnt10b expression. This study aimed to indicate the potential molecular mechanisms and functional role of Wnt10b in OP‐ASCs, as well as to investigate a potential application to reverse the OP‐ASCs' impaired osteogenic differentiation potential. The OP‐ASCs and ASCs were harvested from the inguinal fat of osteoporosis (OP) mice with bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and normal mice. qPCR and WB were used to detect the different levels of the expression of the Wnt10b RNA in both OP‐ASCs and ASCs. Lentiviral‐mediated regulation of Wnt10b expression was employed for OP‐ASCs, and the detection of the expression levels of key molecules in the Wnt signalling pathway and key osteogenic factors was performed through qPCR and WB in vitro experiments. The capacity of OP‐ASCs to osteogenesis was determined using alizarin red staining. Lastly, the repair effect of the BCP scaffolds incorporating modified OP‐ASCs on the critical‐sized calvarial defects (CSCDs) in OP mice was scanned and detected by micro‐computed tomography, haematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining and immunohistochemistry. First, we discovered that both the RNA and protein expression levels of Wnt10b were significantly lower in OP‐ASCs than that in ASCs. In vitro experiments, upregulation of Wnt10b could activate the Wnt signalling pathway, and increase expression of β‐catenin, Lef1, Runx2 and osteopontin (Opn), thereby enhancing the osteogenic ability of OP‐ASCs. In addition, the OP‐ASCs with Wnt10b‐overexpressing could promote the repair of CSCD in osteoporotic mice with increasing new bone volume, bone mineral density, and increased expression of Opn in new bone in vivo. Taken together, overexpression of Wnt10b could partially facilitate the differentiation of OP‐ASCs towards osteogenesis and accelerated the healing of bone defects by activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study confirmed the important role of Wnt10b in regulating the osteogenic differentiation capability of OP‐ASCs and indicated Wnt10b could be a potential therapeutic target for reversing the impaired osteogenic capabilities of OP‐ASCs to therapy bone defects of OP patients.
Ischemic alopecia as a complication from therapeutic embolization of the middle meningeal artery
Authors: Kidron Ariel , Lannan Ford M. , Logemann Nicholas F. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractSelective endovascular embolization using microspheres is a widely used, relatively low‐risk procedure to control intracranial bleeding. Side effects such as cranial nerve palsies and stroke have been reported in the literature. Skin necrosis and alopecia are exceedingly rare complications of endovascular embolization with a reported incidence of less than 1%. We report a case of a 55‐year‐old female who developed alopecia following a therapeutic embolization of the middle meningeal artery using microspheres. The clinical‐histopathologic diagnosis and relevant literature are reviewed.

AbstractBackgroundThe NuProtect study reported data on the immunogenicity, efficacy and tolerability of simoctocog alfa (Nuwiq®) in 108 previously untreated patients with severe haemophilia A planned to be treated for ≥100 exposure days or up to 5 years. The NuProtect‐Extension study collected long‐term prophylaxis data in children with severe haemophilia A.MethodsPatients who completed the NuProtect study according to the protocol were eligible for the NuProtect‐Extension study, a prospective, multinational, non‐controlled, Phase 3b study.ResultsOf 48 patients who entered the extension study, 47 (median age 2.8 years) received prophylaxis with simoctocog alfa for a median of 24 months, with 82%–88% on a twice‐weekly or less regimen. No patient developed FVIII inhibitors during the extension study. The median (IQR) annualized bleeding rate (ABR) during prophylaxis was 0 (0–0.5) for spontaneous bleeding episodes (BEs) and 1.00 (0–1.95) for all BEs. ABRs estimated using a negative binomial model were .28 (95% CI: .15, .53) for spontaneous and 1.62 (95% CI: 1.09, 2.42) for all BEs. During the median follow‐up of 24 months, 34 (72%) patients had zero spontaneous BEs and 46 (98%) had zero spontaneous joint BEs. Efficacy in treating BEs was excellent or good for 78.2% of rated BEs, and efficacy of surgical prophylaxis was excellent for two rated surgeries. No treatment‐related adverse events were reported.ConclusionNo FVIII inhibitors developed during long‐term prophylaxis in the NuProtect‐Extension study. Prophylaxis with simoctocog alfa was efficacious and well‐tolerated, and is therefore an attractive long‐term option for children with severe haemophilia A.

Authors: Syn Sue Yeon 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundGaze movement analysis is a human–computer interaction analysis method to assess time and viewing patterns of screen pages.Aims/ObjectivesThis study examines Facebook users' health information viewing patterns and identifies social media interface factors that affect users' health information behaviour on Facebook. The findings of this study should help researchers and health information providers understand how Facebook is used, and how users might be appraising information viewed.MethodsThis study investigated gaze movement data collected from 48 participants while participants were viewing Facebook pages that presented health‐related posts. Each session was designed to represent four health information sources and four health topics. Each session included an exit interview for a better interpretation of data.ResultsParticipants spent the most time viewing the content of the posts, particularly post images. Findings revealed that users' viewing patterns differed when different health topics were presented, but not according to the type of information provider. However, the study showed that users check the Facebook page's banner to verify the health information provider's identity.ConclusionThis study indicates what health information consumers look for on Facebook when finding, appraising, and reacting to, or sharing health‐related content.
Tree lines do not reduce grassland productivity and herbage quality in alley cropping under drought
Authors: Sutterlütti Rahel , Komainda Martin , Kayser Manfred , Isselstein Johannes 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn alley cropping, woody perennials are combined with agricultural crops or grassland in order to benefit from favourable interactions between trees and crops. Trees influence growth and senescence processes in grassland as well as plant chemical composition and plant water use. In a field experiment with grassland and alley‐cropped willow coppices, we analysed the impact of distance and position relative to the tree line on grassland herbage biomass, proportion of dead herbage and herbage quality in two successive growth periods of two experimental years. The experimental years were chosen so that growth periods among years showed a similar rainfall pattern. Relative ET (evapotranspiration) as defined by actual divided by potential evapotranspiration reflected the severity of water shortage with a moderately dry (relative ET ~ 0.5) first growth period with increasing dryness in the second growth period of each year. We determined bulk stomatal conductivity of the grass shoot by measuring δ13C (carbon) signatures. Stomatal conductivities were higher close to the trees in drier periods (i.e. more negative δ13C values). Herbage biomass decreased with decreasing relative ET, but showed no systematic influence of the tree line. We found that vegetation composition changed with distance to the tree line. The proportion of dead herbage was equal at all distances from the tree line under very dry conditions, but smaller close to the trees under moderately dry conditions. Herbage quality, as approximated by crude protein and ADF concentrations in live biomass, was higher closer to the tree line. We conclude that the tree line does not adversely affect grassland productivity under drought and improves the plant water status as reflected by the δ13C signature.
Supportive care for the prevention of disease recurrence/progression following peri‐implantitis treatment: A systematic review
Authors: Stiesch Meike , Grischke Jasmin , Schaefer Paula , Heitz‐Mayfield Lisa J. A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectivesThis systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of supportive care provision, frequency and protocol in patients treated for peri‐implantitis, as reported in prospective and retrospective studies of at least 3‐years duration.Materials and MethodsA systematic search of three electronic databases was undertaken up to 21 July 2022 and supplemented by hand‐search to identify studies that included participants treated for peri‐implantitis and followed for at least 3 years. Owing to high heterogeneity, a meta‐analysis was not appropriate, and therefore, data and risk of bias were explored qualitatively. PRISMA guidelines for reporting were followed.ResultsThe search identified 2596 studies. Of 270 records selected during screening, 255 were excluded through independent review and 15 studies (10 prospective and 5 retrospective, with at least 20 patients) were retained for qualitative assessments. Study designs, population characteristics, supportive care protocols and reported outcomes varied markedly. Thirteen of the 15 studies had low risk of bias. Supportive peri‐implant care (SPIC) following different surgical peri‐implantitis treatment protocols and with recall intervals varying between 2 months and annually resulted in peri‐implant tissue stability (no disease recurrence or progression) ranging from 24.4% to 100% at patient level and from 28.3% to 100% at implant level. Sevenhundred and eighty‐five patients with 790 implants were included in this review.ConclusionsProvision of SPIC following peri‐implantitis therapy may prevent disease recurrence or progression. Insufficient evidence is available to identify (i) a specific supportive care protocol for secondary prevention of peri‐implantitis, (ii) the effect of adjunctive local antiseptic agents in the secondary prevention of peri‐implantitis and (iii) the impact of frequency of supportive care measures. Prospective, randomised, controlled studies designed to evaluate supportive care protocols are needed in future.
Geographic variation in the life history of lane snapper Lutjanus synagris, with new insights from the warm edge of its distribution

Published: June 2023

AbstractResearch on life‐history variations in widely distributed fish species is needed to understand global warming impacts on populations and to improve fisheries management advice. The lane snapper Lutjanus synagris (Linnaeus, 1758) is commercially important to fisheries in the Western Central Atlantic, where spread information on its life‐history traits is available. We studied growth, age, reproduction and mortality of lane snapper in the Guatemalan Caribbean, the warmest part of its distribution range, and collated the new information with published data in a latitudinal analysis extending between 18°S and 30°N. Longevity was estimated at 11 years, and von Bertalanffy growth parameters were asymptotic length (Linf) 45.6 and 42.2 cm for females and males, respectively, the growth coefficient (K) was 0.1 year−1 and the theoretical age at zero length (t0) was −4.4 years. Lane snapper grew slowest in April, prior to the rainy season, and at the onset of the reproductive season, which lasted from May to October. Fifty percent of female and male lane snappers matured at 23 and 17 cm, corresponding to 3.5 and 2.4 years of age respectively. A regional multivariate analysis found seawater temperature to be an important driver of life‐history variation. Lane snapper lifespan was shorter at the warm edge of its distribution range, and maximum size and peak reproductive investment were negatively related to sea surface temperature. The trade‐offs in lane snapper life‐history traits and phenology likely enhance its fitness to differing environments. Interpolation from the present regional estimates to less‐studied regions of the Caribbean is useful for preliminary understanding of reaction norms and harvest potentials.
ELK1/KIFC1 axis promotes breast cancer cell proliferation by regulating glutathione metabolism

Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundKIFC1 exerts an important function in centrosome aggregation in breast cancer (BC) cells and a variety of other cancer cells, but its potential mechanisms in BC pathogenesis are yet fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of KIFC1 on BC progression and its underlying mechanisms.MethodsExpression of ELK1 and KIFC1 in BC was analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas database and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferative capacity was examined by CCK‐8 and colony formation assays, respectively. Glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) ratio and GSH level were measured using the kit. Expression of GSH metabolism‐related enzymes (G6PD, GCLM, and GCLC) was detected by western blot. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured by the ROS Assay Kit. The transcription factor ELK1 upstream of KIFC1 was identified by hTFtarget, KnockTFv2 database and Pearson correlation. Their interaction was validated by dual‐luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation.ResultsThis study demonstrated the upregulation of ELK1 and KIFC1 in BC and found that ELK1 could bind to the KIFC1 promoter to promote KIFC1 transcription. KIFC1 overexpression increased cell proliferation and intracellular GSH levels, while decreasing intracellular ROS levels. The addition of the GSH metabolism inhibitor BSO attenuated the promotion of BC cell proliferation induced by KIFC1 overexpression. In addition, KIFC1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of knockdown of ELK1 on BC cell proliferation.ConclusionELK1 was a transcriptional factor of KIFC1. ELK1/KIFC1 axis reduced ROS level by increasing GSH synthesis, thus facilitating BC cell proliferation. Current observations suggest that ELK1/ KIFC1 may be a potential therapeutic target for BC treatment.

Published: June 2023

SummaryThe objective of this study is to verify the association between obesity and mortality in hospitalized patients with SARS–CoV–2 taking into account the Human Development Index (HDI). A search was performed in the PubMed, Virtual Health Library (Lilacs/Bireme/VHL Brazil), Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases from inception to May 2022. To be eligible, studies had to have cohort or case–control designs, be conducted with hospitalized adults (≥18 years old), and evaluate mortality rates between with obesity and without obesity individuals with SARS‐CoV‐2 confirmed by laboratory tests. The analyses were performed in Stata 12.0 using relative risk (RR) as a summary measure. Heterogeneity was explored by meta‐regression and subgroup analyses considering the HDI, age, sex, and follow‐up period. Out of 912 studies screened, 49 studies were eligible for qualitative synthesis, and 33 studies were eligible for quantitative analysis, representing 42,905 patients. The mortality risk from SARS‐CoV‐2 was higher in individuals with obesity compared with without obesity individuals only in the subgroups of patients <60 years old (RR = 1.31; 95% CI 1.18–1.45, I2 = 0.0%) and living in countries with a low HDI (RR = 1.28; 95% CI 1.10–1.48, I2 = 45.4%).
