The Domain‐Specificity of Domain‐Generality: Attention, Executive Function, and Academic Skills
Authors: Wilkey Eric D. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAttention and executive functions (EFs) play a critical role in academic skill development, including literacy and numeracy. Deficits in attention and EFs often accompany learning disorders, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. Despite their well‐established link, we lack a nuanced understanding of the specific neurobiological mechanisms that integrate the higher order cognitive processes of EFs (e.g., cognitive control) with the control of lower‐level cognition related to domain‐specific skills (e.g., processing numerical information). While attention and EFs have been identified as key factors in domain‐specific cognition and learning, the focus on its domain‐generality may hinder exploration of its domain‐specific roots. Using the example of number processing, I detail a series of neuroimaging studies exploring how domain‐specific mechanisms interact with domain‐general processing. They suggest that a better understanding of the hierarchical nature of higher order control of lower‐level processing is necessary to explain the relation between attention, EFs, and academic skills.
Clinical manifestations and susceptibility of Scedosporium/Lomentospora infections at a tertiary medical centre in Taiwan from 2014 to 2021: A retrospective cohort study

AbstractBackgroundScedosporiosis/lomentosporiosis is a globally emerging and crucial fungal infection. However, clinical data on Scedosporium/Lomentospora infections in Taiwan are scarce.ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of Scedosporium/Lomentospora‐infected patients and evaluate the susceptibility of these isolates to antifungal agents.MethodsThe clinical features of Scedosporium/Lomentospora‐infected patients at a tertiary teaching hospital in Northern Taiwan between 2014 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed; isolates from these patients were identified to species level for antifungal susceptibility testing.ResultsAmong 44 patients, 27 (61.4%) had scedosporiosis/lomentosporiosis, whereas 17 (38.6%) were colonised with Scedosporium/Lomentospora species. Scedosporium apiospermum was the main coloniser; scedosporiosis was primarily caused by S. boydii. Trauma history, steroid and immunosuppressant use were the most common risk factors for developing these infections. Among 27 patients with scedosporiosis/lomentosporiosis, one was lost to follow‐up and seven (7/26, 26.9%) died. Most patients with S. apiospermum infection have a history of trauma, leading to cutaneous, bone and ocular infections. Pulmonary, sinus and disseminated infections and mortality were frequently reported in patients with S. boydii infection. Voriconazole's minimum inhibitory concentration was low for S. boydii, S. apiospermum and S. aurantiacum. Caspofungin, micafungin and anidulafungin were active against S. boydii and S. apiospermum. A potentially novel Scedosporium species was identified in this study, with distinct clinical manifestations and antifungal susceptibility.ConclusionsAt our centre, S. boydii is the main causative species of scedosporiosis; voriconazole could be the first‐line treatment in Taiwan. Our study supports the importance of speciation, rather than only categorising these isolates into S. apiospermum species complex.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackground and PurposeNon‐erosive reflux disease (NERD) accounts for over half of all gastroesophageal reflux cases and is characterized by reflux symptoms with pathologic acid exposure on pH monitoring but no evidence of erosions on upper endoscopy. Ambulatory pH monitoring is limited by availability and patient tolerance. The utility of performing esophageal mucosal biopsies in diagnosing NERD is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to determine the sensitivity of esophageal mucosal biopsies in diagnosing NERD.MethodsData were obtained from Embase and Ovid MEDLINE from inception to April 2021. Studies were included if esophageal mucosal biopsies were taken and analyzed using conventional histopathologic analysis in symptomatic NERD patients. Relevant data was including histologic abnormalities and location of the biopsy. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated against healthy controls or those with functional heartburn.ResultsThe search yielded 2871 studies, of which 10 studies met our inclusion criteria and contained raw data. Histological abnormalities included histologic sum scores, papillary elongation, basal cell hyperplasia, and dilated intraepithelial spaces. When assessing for the presence of any abnormality, biopsies taken <3 cm from the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) had a pooled sensitivity of 0.71 (95% CI 0.64–0.77) and specificity of 0.64 (95% 0.54–0.73); however, analysis of individual histologic features such as the presence of eosinophils improved the sensitivity.ConclusionsAlthough esophageal mucosal biopsies had poor sensitivity at diagnosing NERD, biopsies taken within 3 cm of the LES had higher sensitivity when pathologists reported upon eosinophils and dilated intraepithelial spaces.
Firm‐specific Human Capital Accumulation: Evidence from Brazil*
Authors: Pires Tiago , Szydłowski Arek , Zhao Shuai 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe introduce firm‐specific returns to experience and tenure into a standard two‐way fixed effects model, show that they are separately identified under the standard exogenous mobility assumption and with sufficient between firm mobility, and provide a new evidence on heterogeneity of returns to experience and tenure across firms using the administrative data from Brazil over the years 1999–2014. We document that (1) returns to tenure are not strongly related to firm wage premia, (2) returns to experience are strongly negatively correlated with firm wage premia, (3) the relationship between firm wage premium and return to experience is stronger for ‘blue collar’ firms.
Associations between the gut microbiome and metabolic, inflammatory, and appetitive effects of sleeve gastrectomy

Published: July 2023

SummaryThe complex and multifactorial etiology of obesity creates challenges for its effective long‐term management. Increasingly, the gut microbiome is reported to play a key role in the maintenance of host health and wellbeing, with its dysregulation associated with chronic diseases such as obesity. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to contribute to obesity development and pathogenesis via several pathways involving food digestion, energy harvest and storage, production of metabolites influencing satiety, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and bile acid metabolism. Moreover, the gut microbiome likely contributes to the metabolic, inflammatory, and satiety benefits and sustained weight‐loss effects following bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. While the field of gut microbiome research in relation to obesity and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes is largely in its infancy, the gut microbiome nonetheless holds great potential for understanding some of the mechanisms behind sleeve gastrectomy outcomes as well as for optimizing post‐surgery benefits. This review will explore the current literature within the field as well as discuss the current limitations, including the small sample size, variability in methodological approaches, and lack of associative data, which need to be addressed in future studies.
Fostering employee innovation: Linking person–organization fit to innovative behavior through knowledge sharing and reward perception
Authors: Lee Jaeyong , Jin Myung H. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe core foundation of data‐driven public administration is establishing a digital platform that enables collaboration between various subjects and stakeholders; for this, active interaction among employees of an organization and their innovations in deriving creative ideas and actions are essential. Reflecting this, this study focused on promoting employees' innovative behavior (IB) through the activation of knowledge sharing (KS) within the organization, considering other key variables, person–organization fit (POF) and reward perception (RP). We integrated the mediation model of POF, KS, and IB and the moderation model of POF, RP, and KS to confirm whether the effect of POF on KS moderated by RP affects IB. Analysis of data on 1420 public employees of 33 local government agencies in South Korea shows that all the research models work. These results confirm the positive and direct relationship between POF and IB, and prove the mediating effect of KS in the POF–IB relationship and the moderating effect of RP in the POF–KS relationship, respectively. Furthermore, it confirms that the level of employees' perceived congruence between the employees themselves and the organization has a stronger effect on IB when employees clearly recognize rewards for their KS activities. Based on these findings, we present critical suggestions to improve employees' KS and IB.
Emerging roles of transmembrane‐type tight junction proteins in cancers

Published: July 2023

AbstractTight junctions (TJs) are the most apical components of the cell–cell adhesion machinery in epithelial and endothelial cells and they play essential roles in homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that aberrant expression of tight junction proteins (TJPs) is frequently observed in various type of cancers. Here we review cancer‐associated aberrant expression of TJPs with focus on transmembrane‐type TJPs including claudins, junctional adhesion molecule‐A (JAM‐A), and occludin. Some transmembrane‐type TJPs are upregulated at the early neoplastic stage and their expression persists during dedifferentiation. Aberrant expression of TJPs contributes to proliferation, invasion, and dysregulated signaling of cancer cells. In addition to an increase in their expression level, their localization is altered from a TJ‐restricted pattern to distribution throughout the whole cell membrane, making them suitable as therapeutic targets. Extracellular domains of transmembrane‐type TJPs can be approached by target drugs not only from the lumen side (apical side) but also from the extracellular matrix side (basal side), including blood vessels. Aberrantly expressed TJPs are potential useful diagnostic markers as well as therapeutic targets for cancers.

AbstractBacterial canker of cherry, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, is a major constraint to cherry growing in New Zealand. The prevalence of strains from cherry orchards in Central Otago, the main growing area for cherries in New Zealand, was studied, to better understand the epidemiology of the disease. Pseudomonas spp. isolates were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic cherry tissue from 23 commercial cherry orchards in 2015. Isolates were classified into strains belonging to three different taxonomic groups by determining their phylogeny using the gltA gene sequence for all the strains and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of four housekeeping genes for 35 strains. Pathogenicity of all Central Otago strains was tested on immature cherry fruit to support the phylogenetic classification. The two main taxonomic groups were P. syringae pv. syringae (Pss) and P. syringae pv. morsprunorum race 1 (Psm1), in Phylogroup 2 (PG2) and Phylogroup 3 (PG3), respectively. The third group comprised nonpathogenic strains classified as Pseudomonas spp. Strains of Psm1 formed a monophyletic group, representing an almost clonal population. There was more variation detected within strains of Pss, although they were restricted to group PG2d. Nonpathogenic Pseudomonas spp. and pathogenic Pss and Psm1 strains coexisted in the same orchard. It was concluded that Pss is the predominant pathovar in Central Otago. This is the first detailed study of the P. syringae species complex in cherry orchards in New Zealand and provides the basis for future epidemiology studies.
Unexpected sounds inhibit the movement of the eyes during reading and letter scanning

Published: July 2023

AbstractNovel sounds that unexpectedly deviate from a repetitive sound sequence are well known to cause distraction. Such unexpected sounds have also been shown to cause global motor inhibition, suggesting that they trigger a neurophysiological response aimed at stopping ongoing actions. Recently, evidence from eye movements has suggested that unexpected sounds also temporarily pause the movements of the eyes during reading, though it is unclear if this effect is due to inhibition of oculomotor planning or inhibition of language processes. Here, we sought to distinguish between these two possibilities by comparing a natural reading task to a letter scanning task that involves similar oculomotor demands to reading, but no higher level lexical processing. Participants either read sentences for comprehension or scanned letter strings of these sentences for the letter ‘o’ in three auditory conditions: silence, standard, and novel sounds. The results showed that novel sounds were equally distracting in both tasks, suggesting that they generally inhibit ongoing oculomotor processes independent of lexical processing. These results suggest that novel sounds may have a global suppressive effect on eye‐movement control.
Interpretation, Argumentation, and the Determinacy of Law
Authors: Sartor Giovanni 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article models legal interpretation through argumentation and provides a logical analysis of interpretive arguments, their conflicts, and the resulting indeterminacies. Interpretive arguments are modelled as defeasible inferences, which can be challenged and defeated by counterarguments and be reinstated through further arguments. It is shown what claims are possibly (defensibly) or necessarily (justifiably) supported by the arguments constructible from a given interpretive basis, i.e., a set of interpretive canons coupled with reasons for their application. It is finally established under what conditions such arguments provide single outcomes or rather support alternative interpretive conclusions, thus leading to propositions of law whose truth‐value is undetermined.
Transverse spectral instabilities in Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation
Authors: Bhavna  , Pandey Ashish Kumar , Singh Sudhir 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe study the transverse spectral stability of the one‐dimensional small‐amplitude periodic traveling wave solutions of the (2+1)‐dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky (KD) equation. We show that these waves are transversely unstable with respect to two‐dimensional perturbations that are periodic in both directions with long wavelength in the transverse direction. We also show that these waves are transversely stable with respect to perturbations which are either mean‐zero periodic or square‐integrable in the direction of the propagation of the wave and periodic in the transverse direction with finite or short wavelength. We discuss the implications of these results for special cases of the KD equation—namely, KP‐II and mKP‐II equations.

AbstractA 4‐year‐old spayed female Border Collie dog presented to the Neurology and Neurosurgery service for an approximately five‐month history of seizures. A complete neurodiagnostic workup was performed and did not reveal any significant abnormalities. The patient's seizures were well controlled with a combination of anticonvulsants. During a manual blood smear review at a follow‐up appointment, double Barr bodies were identified in segmented neutrophils. Karyotyping revealed that the patient is mosaic for X‐monosomy and X‐trisomy, a finding that has never been reported in a dog and is rarely reported in people. This case demonstrates how the identification of abnormal neutrophil nuclear appendages may correlate with chromosomal abnormalities in dogs.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe problem of water scarcity and water crisis (e.g., stable water resources, reduced rainfall, increased urban population growth and lack of proper management of water consumption in urban and domestic water) has recently become a significant issue. Therefore, examining the behaviour of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater (TPWW) subscribers to identify high‐consumption subscribers and explain methods to encourage and educate them more about the correct water consumption pattern can help deal with this crisis. This study aims to use machine learning algorithms to build a robust model for the classification of subscribers in Tehran. Then, new subscribers can be classified into similar classes. For this reason, ensemble algorithms, support vector machines and neural networks are used to predict subscribers' behaviour. Then, the random forest algorithm from the set of ensemble algorithms is considered the best model for the TPWW case with 99% and 98% in train and test accuracy, respectively.
Athletes’ Perceptions of Developing Relationships Through Adult-Oriented Coaching in Online Contexts
Authors: Eagles Kimberley , Callary Bettina 
Published: July 2023

Online coaching has grown in popularity, in which the coach and athlete work together using Internet-based platforms, without meeting in person. Kettlebell lifting has been using the online format for some time. The majority of Kettlebell lifters are Masters Athletes (MAs), over the age of 35 years, and competing in registered events around the world. Adult-oriented psychosocial coaching approaches that prioritize relationship development have proven to be successful when coaching MAs. While the coach–athlete relationship has been extensively examined, it is not known how the coach–athlete relationship is created and maintained in an online-only environment. The purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of MAs’ relationships with their online coaches. Five kettlebell lifters were interviewed to explore their experiences of having online coaches. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, the lifters’ individual experiences within the online coaching environment were examined. Three higher order themes suggest (a) initial relationship building involves the coach selection by the MA, as well as developing closeness and complementary behaviors; (b) progressing in the relationship through communication; and (c) coach programming that is adaptable and negotiated. The coach–athlete relationship for mature adults in an online-only platform can be fostered through adult-oriented approaches.

IntroductionGlobally, the prevalence and incidence of perinatal intimate partner violence (IPV) are well documented and substantiated; however, there is an urgent need to identify interventions to prevent recurrence or revictimisation, and decrease the harms of perinatal IPV. This scoping review is designed to broadly capture all potential interventions for the secondary prevention of IPV, review them in detail, and assess what can reduce revictimisation and foster improvements in both maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods and analysisWith the structure of the Joanna Briggs Institute and Arksey and O’Malley methodology for scoping reviews, the search will be conducted in: MEDLINE(R) ALL (OvidSP), Embase (OvidSP), CINAHL (EBSCOHost), APA PsycInfo (OvidSP), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (OvidSP), Web of Science, and Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts (ProQuest). A manual search of the reference lists of the retrieved articles will be conducted to capture all relevant studies for potential inclusion. A year limit of January 2000–June 2022 will be applied to retrieve most current peer-reviewed articles. No search filters or language limits will be used, but only publications in English and French will be eligible for inclusion. Interventions include but are not limited to: psychotherapy, educational sessions, home visitation, etc. Outcomes include but are not limited to: (1) harms of IPV among survivors (eg, revictimisation) and (2) adverse perinatal outcomes (eg, preterm birth). Interventions will be excluded if they target the perpetrator or child(ren) alone. Titles and abstracts of included studies will be screened in duplicate. Full-text documents will be extracted and reviewed by two independent reviewers. Conflicts between reviewers will be resolved by a third independent reviewer. Findings will be presented with descriptive statistics and narrative synthesis.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is not required for this scoping review. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations.Study registrationOpen Science Framework (OSF) registry (https://osf.io/e294r) in Centre for Open Science (OSF) on 27 May 2022.
