Trouble with big brother: Counterproductive consequences of electronic monitoring through the erosion of leader‐member social exchange
Authors: Thiel Chase E. , McClean Shawn , Harvey Jaron , Prince Nicholas 
Published: September 2023

SummaryChanging workplace dynamics have led employers to increasingly adopt electronic monitoring technologies so supervisors can observe and ensure employee compliance and productivity—outcomes the monitoring literature has long supported. Yet, employee productivity depends on strong leader–member social exchange, and the relational consequences of electronic monitoring for supervisor and employee are not well understood. To help resolve this tension within the monitoring literature and add understanding in regard to the effects of electronic monitoring on employee productivity, we use social exchange theory to examine the implications of electronic monitoring for the supervisor–employee exchange relationship. We theorize that electronic monitoring facilitates (rather than inhibits) production deviance and inhibits (rather than facilitates) task performance by undermining the exchange of social benefits and, consequently, eroding leader–member social exchange. Yet, we also hypothesize that supervisors who give performance monitoring data back to employees in a developmental way (i.e., developmental feedback) compensate for the loss of certain social benefits, and, thereby, buffer the negative relational consequences of electronic monitoring. Across an experimental online study and a field study, we find converging support for our predictions and rule out alternative explanations. This research provides timely insights into how to effectively use electronic monitoring without promoting unintended consequences.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundProgressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are atypical parkinsonisms (APs) that are classified as tauopathies. Patients with these APs may present with similar early clinical manifestations to Parkinson's disease (PD), but they prove unresponsive to anti‐parkinsonian medications.ObjectiveThe main objective of this meta‐analysis was to compare first‐ and second‐generation tau PET tracer efficacy in patients with the APs to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers.MethodsPubMed and Web of Science were searched between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2022. We included case–control studies that were published in English and report tau PET tracer binding as mean ± SD in at least one region of interest (ROI). Differences in tau PET binding values were meta‐analyzed using random‐effects meta‐analytic models and subgroup analyses based on ROIs in the statistical programming language R (version 4.2.1).ResultsOverall, 29 studies with 665 patients were included in the final review. [18F]PI‐2620 outperformed first‐generation tracers when comparing PSP‐HC (g = −1.68, 95% CI: −2.05 to −1.30) and CBD‐HC (g = −1.37, 95% CI: −2.25 to −0.49). When comparing PSP‐PD, the first‐generation tracer, [18F]AV‐1451, presented with higher binding to PSP patients (g = −0.80, 95% CI: −1.24 to −0.35).ConclusionsOur results demonstrate the efficacy of [18F]PI‐2620 PET in imaging AP‐tau. These findings contribute towards identifying a diagnostic imaging biomarker for patients with APs. The main limitation of this study was the heterogeneity of the results. Future studies should conduct AP‐PD comparisons with second‐generation tracers to confirm the preliminary results found here.
Angling party persistence and visitation in a recreational Lake Trout fishery: Relative influence of travel distance and fuel costs
Authors: Cowie Emily D. , Ridgway Mark S. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Objective
Cormack–Joly–Seber (CJS) mark–recapture analysis was used to estimate the effect of travel distance and fuel costs on angling party persistence (i.e., survival = probability of remaining in the Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush fishery from year-to-year) and visitation (i.e., detection = probability of detection at the access point) over a 14-year period (2006–2019) for the Lake Trout recreational fishery in Lake Opeongo, Ontario, Canada.

Methods
Boat identification numbers, positioned near the bow and present by law, were used as “tags” in the CJS analysis. Complete trip creel interviews at the sole access point provided information on trip characteristics.

Result
The long-term mark–recapture analysis of individual angling parties showed travel distance had a significant negative effect on party persistence among years and visitation within years. The distance effect was strongest for visitation, with visitation having a more negative relationship with distance than persistence. Persistence in the Lake Trout fishery was insensitive to fuel costs while the fuel cost covariate had a small though significant and negative effect on visitation. Time-varying CJS models were ranked low with little model weight indicating the distance effect estimated for Lake Opeongo was a general phenomenon and not year dependent.

Conclusion
Cormack–Joly–Seber mark–recapture analysis cleanly separated effects of travel distance and fuel cost between visitation versus persistence for Lake Trout angling parties. Prior to this analysis, travel costs were typically associated with visiting a recreational fishery, while here we have shown that travel costs can be associated with persisting as anglers in a fishery independent of visitation patterns. Long-term monitoring of angling parties provides unique insights into angling patterns that can aid in travel cost estimation.

AbstractIntroductionThe CDC Foundation plays a critical role in public health emergency response through its ability to quickly mobilize funding and support by establishing formal partnerships with grantees and providing rapid resources and technical assistance. Since the activation of the CDC Foundation's Emergency Response Fund for COVID‐19 in January of 2020, the CDC Foundation has funded more than 400 projects addressing various needs that have arisen from the COVID‐19 pandemic with a wide range of partners, including non‐profit organizations, health departments, private organizations, community‐based organizations (CBOs), universities, laboratories, institutes, and educational organizations. The CDC Foundation's emergency response unit disseminated a Partnership Impact Survey to assess grantee partners' experience working with the CDC Foundation in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic.Study typeMixed methods, qualitative and quantitative.MethodsThe survey was distributed to 285 grantees and included both quantitative and qualitative information about partnership with the CDC Foundation.ResultsThe survey results and evaluation indicate that, through collaboration and feedback mechanisms, the CDC Foundation implemented successful public health partnerships with various partners during the COVID‐19 response, from the private sector to academia to health departments to community‐based organizations.ConclusionSurvey results show that CDC Foundation‐funded partnerships have made an impact on the sustainability and capacity of partner organizations, and have had a positive impact on local, national, and international efforts to combat the spread and negative effects of COVID‐19.
Squeak and rattle noise prediction in vehicle acoustics
Authors: Rauter Andreas , Utzig Lukas , Weisheit Konrad , Maeder Marcus , Marburg Steffen 
Published: September 2023

AbstractSqueak and rattle belong to unintended noise audible by occupants of a vehicle. This noise negatively affects the perceived built quality, leading to nonbuying decisions, high warranty costs, and poor brand reputation. Therefore, vehicle manufacturers seek to prevent the emergence of such noise, preferably in the early development phase and during production at the latest. This causes substantial monetary and temporal expenditure, which must be minimized. Rattle is defined as repeated impact. The underlying physical phenomenon is impulsive short‐duration contact normal to the surface. Squeak, in contrast, originates from an in‐contact motion in the tangential direction and is a friction‐induced stick‐slip phenomenon. State‐of‐the‐art numerical squeak and rattle prediction is based on linear analysis resulting in an empirical noise risk index. However, quantification of noise and assessment of audibility is not possible. The reason is the nonlinearity of the contact forces. Hence, the actual system response is not calculable with a linear approach. Mathematically, the nature of both excitation events is nonlinear due to frictional contact and nonsmooth due to short impulsive behavior in time. This makes linear simplification and a solution process in the time domain challenging. Both events appear periodically, leading to an oscillation characterized by fundamental and higher harmonics. Due to this periodic character, squeak and rattle phenomena fulfill the prerequisite for applying the harmonic balance method (HBM) to solve the governing nonlinear equation of motion. The more harmonics considered, the more precise the modeling and the dynamic response prediction. In addition, the alternating frequency/time domain method (AFT) allows for switching between the frequency and the time domain during the iterative solution process. Thus, the nonlinear contact forces can be evaluated in the time domain. The equation‐solving process results in the calculation of surface velocities. This gives way to determining a proxy for the emitted sound power of the oscillatory system. The simulation method based on combining HBM and AFT was validated on test rigs for squeak and rattle noise. The industrial applicability of this simulation approach was demonstrated numerically and experimentally on an actual vehicle part showing promising results. Thereby, important steps in nonlinear structural dynamics and vehicle acoustics were made toward a calm, smooth, and enjoyable ride for vehicle occupants.

Published: September 2023

AbstractEngineered bamboo and wood composites are increasingly utilized in construction due to their eco‐friendly, low‐carbon footprint, and superior mechanical properties. To investigate the effect of heat flux and grain direction on the combustion properties of parallel strand bamboo (PSB), laminated veneer bamboo (LVB), cross‐laminated timber (CLT), and laminated veneer lumber (LVL), a total of 54 specimens in 3 groups were tested through a cone calorimeter. Parameters including the ignition time, heat release rate, mass loss rate, and smoke production rate were investigated. The analytic hierarchy process method was adopted for a multi‐level, qualitative, and quantitative comprehensive fire risk assessment of the corresponding structural materials. The test results reveal that PSB and LVB demonstrated superior performance to the CLT and LVL through the comparison of four combustion characteristics parameters, despite their drawbacks and virtues. The heat flux increases in inverse proportion to the ignition time. As for the heat release rate, the larger peak value is accompanied by an earlier appearance, along with the greater average mass loss rate and the lower smoke rate of engineered bamboo. The peak heat release rate of engineered bamboo composites parallel to the grain is larger than that perpendicular to the grain, whereas other parameters are not significantly influenced by the grain direction. Compared with engineered wood, engineered bamboo composites have the potential to be a safer and more reliable building material in terms of fire risk assessment.Highlights

Meta‐analysis of thermal contact resistance in injection molding: A comprehensive literature review and multivariate modeling
Authors: Masato Davide , Kazmer David , Gruber Andrea 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article provides the first multivariate analysis of reported thermal contact resistance (TCR) values from different characterization approaches (injection and compression molding) having missing data. The missing data are estimated by principal components analysis (PCA) with alternating least squares (ALS), and then the main effects are modeled using multiple regressions. Three models of increasing complexity are presented, each of which provides reasonable model fidelity relative to the TCR values reported in the literature. The primary cause of differences between reported TCR values as characterized by injection molding and compression molding can be explained by the melting of the polymer to make intimate contact with the metal mold during processing. Typical values of TCR are on the order of 0.0002 m2K/W, corresponding to heat transfer coefficients of 5000 W/(m2K). The analyses suggest that the TCR decreases significantly with increasing processing temperature and pressure but increases most significantly during cooling with the development of an air gap between the polymer and mold. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that injection molding simulations incorporate modeling of the TCR as a function of the processing states for accurate prediction of the air gap, residual stresses, shrinkage, and warpage.Highlights

Published: September 2023

AbstractErenumab is a fully human anti‐canonical calcitonin gene‐related peptide receptor monoclonal antibody approved for migraine prevention. The Migraine‐Specific Quality‐of‐Life Questionnaire (MSQ) is a 14‐item patient‐reported outcome instrument that measures the impact of migraine on health‐related quality of life. Erenumab data from four phase II/III clinical trials were used to develop an item response theory (IRT) model within a nonlinear mixed effects framework, (i) evaluate the MSQ item information with respect to patient disability, (ii) characterize the longitudinal progression of the MSQ, and (iii) quantify the effect of erenumab on the MSQ in patients with migraine. The majority (80%) of information was found to be contained in 9 out of 14 items, extending the current knowledge on the reliability of the MSQ as a psychometric tool. Simulations across three MSQ domains show significant improvement from baseline, exceeding minimally important differences. Overall, the IRT model platform developed herein allows for systematic quantification of the effect of erenumab on the MSQ in patients with migraine.

Published: September 2023

AbstractA two‐sided nonparametric sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) control chart for process location is proposed. The mechanism of this chart is based on the SPRT for location based on the signs of the sequential observations that is extended for a two‐sided alternative hypothesis. Approximate expressions that relate the statistical performance measures of this chart with that of its corresponding one‐sided charts are obtained through a simulation study and are shown to be quite accurate. Furthermore, an approach to design the proposed chart is provided. The statistical performance of the proposed chart is numerically compared to that of the two‐sided Shewhart, cumulative sum, and exponentially weighted moving average sign charts for location and it is observed that in general the proposed chart significantly outperforms these charts for detecting a location shift of any size. An example is provided to illustrate the mechanism of the proposed chart. Also, the chart is extended for monitoring process dispersion.

AbstractA 75‐year‐old woman was referred to our hospital because of a productive cough and an abnormal shadow on chest radiography. She was diagnosed as having metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harbouring ROS proto‐oncogene 1 (ROS1). First‐line therapy was instituted with entrectinib 600 mg daily, and a gradual decrease in serum sodium level was noticed on day 6, which deteriorated to Grade 3 hyponatremia on day 12. Despite a partial therapeutic response to entrectinib, she developed fatigue and dizziness, so the drug was withdrawn. The clinical findings and laboratory workup were compatible with a diagnosis of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) due to entrectinib. The hyponatremia subsequently improved and entrectinib was resumed at a reduced dose of 400 mg daily, which has been continued to date, with no recurrence of SIADH.

AbstractThere are several significant advantages to 3D concrete printing (3DCP) over conventional concreting techniques. Structures are built by printing them one layer at a time. This study aimed to improve the usability and accessibility of this technology to solve on‐site issues, such as those caused by chemical admixture. In order to construct concrete that can be printed in three dimensions, researchers added many chemical admixtures in controlled quantities. This experiment's main goals were to prepare 3D printable concrete (3DPC) without chemical admixture and to evaluate fresh and hardened properties. Slump, flow, extrudability, buildability, open time, and penetrometer tests were carried out for fresh properties. Compressive, flexural, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity were evaluated for hardened properties. The printed specimens in the longitudinal direction exhibited higher compressive strength than in the downward and lateral directions. Similarly, higher flexural and splitting tensile strength in the longitudinal direction of printed specimens than in the downward and lateral direction. The results of developing 3DPC without chemical admixtures demonstrated good performance in fresh and hardened properties.

AbstractBackgroundPet dogs and cats exert an unquestionable beneficial effect in the well‐being of their owners, but can also act as a source of zoonotic infections if improperly cared.ObjectivesWe investigated the occurrence, risk factors, genetic variability and zoonotic potential of intestinal parasites in dogs and cats attended in a clinical veterinary setting in Spain.MethodsCanine (n = 252) and feline (n = 35) faecal samples were collected during 2017–2019 and analysed by coproparasitological methods. A rapid lateral immunochromatographic test (ICT) was used for detecting Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium sp. Samples positive at microscopy examination and/or ICT were reassessed by molecular methods.ResultsOverall, 48.8% (123/252) of dogs and 48.6% (17/35) of cats were infected by enteric parasites. In dogs, G. duodenalis was the most prevalent species (40.9%), followed by Cystoisospora sp. (7.1%), and Toxocara canis (5.2%). In cats, Joyeuxiella sp. and Toxocara cati were the dominant species (20.0% each), followed by G. duodenalis (14.3%), D. caninum (5.7%) and Cystoisospora felis and Toxascaris leonina (2.9% each). Pups and kittens were more likely to harbour intestinal parasites and develop clinical signs. Sequence analyses of dog isolates revealed the presence of assemblages A (n = 1), C (n = 4), D (n = 4) and C+D (n = 1) within G. duodenalis; C. parvum (n = 1) and C. canis (n = 4) within Cryptosporidium and PtEb IX (n = 1) in Enterocytozoon bieneusi. A novel C. canis subtype family, named XXi, is reported.ConclusionsOur results highlight that (i) well‐cared dogs carry zoonotic enteric protozoan parasites of public health relevance, (ii) proper hygiene practices and routine veterinary treatment are essential to prevent zoonotic infections, (iii) vulnerable populations should avoid contact with pups/kittens with diarrhoea and (iv) infected dogs might be major contributors to the environmental contamination with soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) eggs.

AbstractBackgroundEthiopia is one of the countries with richest fauna used for medicinal purpose. The Jimma Arjo community has knowledge and practice of utilizing this medicinal animal for treatment of human and animal ailments.ObjectiveThe objective of this research is to assess animals and their products used for treatment of human and animal ailmentMethodsA cross‐sectional ethnozoological survey was conducted using a semi structured questionnaire among purposively selected traditional healers resided in Jimma Arjo district. The data collected was entered in Microsoft excel spread sheet and analysed using SPSS statistical software. Fidelity level (FL), use value and informant consensus factor was determined.ResultsA total of 33 animal species was found to be used for treating 40 human ailments and different livestock disease confirmed by 36 informants of different ages, sexes and educational backgrounds. The majority of animals (63.63%) were mammals followed by birds (15.15%). Most of the respondents were male, married and aged 55 years and above. Most of the healers learn ethnozoological practice from the father (36.11%) followed by mother (19.44%). The traditional practice is accepted by (72.22%) of the community where 61.11% of the healers are not willing to transfer their knowledge to other. For most of the healers, the reason to practice traditional healing was for treating one's own family or animals (41.67%). The FL was found 100% for honey from Apis mellifera and Trigona spp. for asthma, Cynopterus sphinx for viral skin disease and Crocuta crocuta for bad sprit treatment. In this study, honey from A. mellifera, Hystrix cristata and Sus scrofa domesticus were reported to cure different ailments.ConclusionThis study indicated wide use of medicinal animals and their products which could be used as an alternative and complementary medicine or a basis for in developing new drugs because the existing drugs especially antimicrobials are under threat due to the development of resistance by microbes.
