AbstractOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is highly prevalent in older adults and associated with dizziness, falls, lower physical and cognitive function, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. OH is currently diagnosed in a clinical setting with single-time point cuff measurements. Continuous blood pressure (BP) devices can measure OH dynamics but cannot be used for daily life monitoring. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has potential diagnostic value in measuring cerebral oxygenation continuously over a longer time period, but this needs further validation. This study aimed to compare NIRS-measured (cerebral) oxygenation with continuous BP and transcranial Doppler-measured cerebral blood velocity (CBv) during postural changes. This cross-sectional study included 41 participants between 20 and 88 years old. BP, CBv, and cerebral (long channels) and superficial (short channels) oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) were measured continuously during various postural changes. Pearson correlations between BP, CBv, and O2Hb were calculated over curves and specific characteristics (maximum drop amplitude and recovery). BP and O2Hb only showed good curve-based correlations (0.58–0.75) in the initial 30 s after standing up. Early (30–40 s) and 1-min BP recovery associated significantly with O2Hb, but no consistent associations were found for maximum drop amplitude and late (60–175 s) recovery values. Associations between CBv and O2Hb were poor, but stronger for long-channel than short-channel measurements. BP associated well with NIRS-measured O2Hb in the first 30 s after postural change. Stronger associations for CBv with long-channel O2Hb suggest that long-channel NIRS specifically reflects cerebral blood flow during postural transitions, necessary to better understand the consequences of OH such as intolerance symptoms.
Pre-Liberalization Foundations and the FDI-Based Internationalization of SMEs from Emerging Markets

Published: April 2023

AbstractResearch on the internationalization of small and medium enterprises based in emerging markets (EM-SMEs) is gaining momentum, yet, less is known about the specific factors that deter EM-SMEs’ from internationalizing via foreign direct investment (FDI). In this paper, using institutional and organizational imprinting perspectives, we argue that EM-SMEs founded in the era prior to market liberalization are less likely to internationalize via FDI than those founded during or after market liberalization. We also argue that this effect is moderated by EM-SMEs’ size and ownership dispersion. Our data used to test our hypotheses is based on 2277 SMEs from 14 emerging markets. Overall, we contribute to an improved understanding of the factors that determine the FDI-based internationalization of SMEs from emerging markets.
How do past global experiences of coal phase-out inform China’s domestic approach to a just transition?
Authors: Sharma Vigya , Loginova Julia , Zhang Ruilian , Kemp Deanna , Shi Guoqing 
Published: April 2023

AbstractChina produces nearly half of the world’s coal and more than half of the global coal-fired electricity. Its CO2 emissions are higher than the combined volumes of the next three world regions—the US, Europe, and India. China has announced a net-zero commitment by 2060. This timeline creates enormous pressure to maintain energy security while phasing down coal use. Despite the localized nature of China’s coal production with nearly 80% of its thermal coal industry concentrated in four provinces, the dependencies are complex and extensive. Large-scale changes to energy systems will result in a range of social, cultural, and economic disruptions across China’s urban, rural, and remote regions. This paper examines experiences with coal transitions in other jurisdictions and considers implications for China. We examine the drivers, successes, and failures of coal phase-down in Germany, Poland, Australia, the UK, and the US. Despite significant differences in scale and complexity, these experiences offer important insights for China as it works to meet its climate commitments.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) actions are mediated through binding to its cell-surface receptor, the GH receptor (GHR), with consequent activation of downstream signalling. However, nuclear GHR localisation has also been observed and is associated with increased cancer cell proliferation. Here we investigated the functional implications of nuclear translocation of the GHR in the human endometrial cancer cell-line, RL95-2, and human mammary epithelial cell-line, MCF-10A. We found that following GH treatment, the GHR rapidly translocates to the nucleus, with maximal localisation at 5–10 min. Combined immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry analysis of RL95-2 whole cell lysates identified 40 novel GHR binding partners, including the transcriptional regulator, HMGN1. Moreover, microarray analysis demonstrated that the gene targets of HMGN1 were differentially expressed following GH treatment, and co-immunoprecipitation showed that HMGN1 associates with the GHR in the nucleus. Therefore, our results suggest that GHR nuclear translocation might mediate GH actions via interaction with chromatin factors that then drive changes in specific downstream transcriptional programs.

Narcissism and relational capacity: the contribution of identity integration and social concordance
Authors: Bogaerts Stefan , Janković Marija 
Published: April 2023

AbstractNarcissism is often seen as a unidimensional construct, however, more recently, a plethora of studies have pointed to its multidimensional nature. Despite this, the role of narcissism as a multifaceted construct in the quality of interpersonal relationships has rarely been tested. In addition, less is known about what mechanisms may underly this association. In this study, we investigated how grandiose, vulnerable, and isolated narcissism, are associated with relational capacity and whether identity integration and social concordance may underly these associations. The sample included 222 male participants with a mean age of 37.71 (SD = 13.25). Of these, 157 were participants from the community, and 65 were in outpatient treatment at four Dutch forensic centers. The Dutch Narcissism Scale was used to measure three forms of narcissism, while The Severity Indices of Personality Problems – Short Form was used to measure identity integration, social concordance, and relational capacity. The mediation model was tested in R and adjusted for age and criminal behavior. Despite significant bivariate correlations between three narcissistic types and relational capacity only isolated narcissism was directly and negatively associated with relational capacity in the mediation model. Likewise, both identity integration and social concordance were positively associated with relational capacity. Grandiose narcissism was positively, while vulnerable narcissism was negatively associated with relational capacity, but only through identity integration. Identity integration was also a significant mediator in the association between isolated narcissism and relational capacity along with social concordance. Finally, criminal behavior appeared to be the only significant covariate indicating that forensic outpatients (versus community participants) were more likely to have impaired relational capacity. The findings of this study could be useful in clinical practice to improve the treatment of narcissistic individuals and make them less harmful to others in social and intimate relationships.

AbstractKaolinite is a widely available and inexpensive substance that has been successfully employed to decontaminate different hazardous contaminants from wastewater by adsorption. In this study, halloysite-like nanotubes (HNTs) were prepared via intercalation followed by ultrasonic rolling of the kaolinite layers. Then, maghemite nanoparticles were co-precipitated within the HNTs matrix to produce a maghemite/HNTs nanocomposite (MG@HNTs). XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, and a BET analyzer were used to characterize the MG@HNTs nanocomposite, which was then utilized to eliminate Cd(II) from aqueous solutions (water and wastewater). Using a batch methodology, the impact of various adsorption parameters on Cd(II) removal was explored. MG@HNTs nanocomposite exhibited a high adsorption capacity (qe) of 264.47 mg g−1 for Cd (II). The kinetic data well conformed to pseudo-2nd-order, while the adsorption isotherms conformed to the Langmuir model. The desorption study demonstrated that the MG@HNTs nanocomposite could be successfully regenerated and recycled five times, without losing its original removal efficiency. Furthermore, MG@HNTs exhibited effective implementation to remove cadmium from real water samples, including tap and industrial wastewater. This study confirmed the successful application of MG@HNTs as an efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable adsorbent at a high level of feasibility for the uptake of hazardous contaminants from industrial wastewater.

AbstractSmall fish are an important part of the diet in Ghana, but malnutrition rates remain high. The nutritional quality of fish consumed in Ghana may be affected by food processing and cooking practices, but the extent to which these processes are practiced among poor Ghanaian households along the coastal belt is unknown. This study explored how poor Ghanaian households process, prepare, and cook meals containing small fish. This exploratory qualitative study used Attride-Stirling thematic network analysis. Respondents were purposively sampled from fishing communities in the coastal regions of Ghana. One-on-one interviews were performed by trained field assistants, audio recorded and videotaped, and transcribed for further data analysis. The most common small fish species identified were anchovies and herrings. Anchovies were fried and eaten whole. Herrings were eaten either smoked or fresh; for fresh herring, the head, fins, and viscera were removed before boiling. Herrings were smoked with the head and viscera; however, both the head and viscera were removed before being added to boiling soup and were not consumed. Anchovies were fried for 10 min, and herrings were boiled for 15–30 min. Processing methods and further meal preparation depend on the small fish species. Nutrient composition and contribution of small fish depend on the processing method, preparation method, and what tissues are eaten. Thus, these results will be of importance for sampling schemes for food composition tables and for the calculation of nutrient intake from small fish.
N-type H2-doped amorphous silicon layer for solar-cell application

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this work, we report that hydrogen (H2) doped in n-type a-Si:H thin films strongly influences the electronic correlation in increasing the conversion output power of solar cells. Type n a-Si:H thin films were grown using PECVD on ITO substrates with various H2-doping, to obtain various thin films for solar-cell applications. N-type a-Si:H thin films were prepared, and then characterized using ellipsometric spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The addition of doped-H2 to the thin layer shows a decrease in optical conductivity, while the energy gap in the thin layer shows a significant increase in the a-Si:H-type thin layer. Our results show that H2 doping plays a very important role in the electronic structure, which is indicated by the significant energy gap difference. On the other hand, the bond structure of each H2-doped thin film showed a change from amorphous to nanocrystalline structures which were evenly distributed in each H2-doped bonding. Overall, we believe that the addition of doped-H2 to our findings could help increase the power conversion output of the solar cell due to the modification of the electronic structure.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIt is anticipated that during the next 3 decades, approximately two-thirds of the world’s population would live in urban regions. This represents a significant movement towards urbanisation on the part of the world’s population. Thus, urban planners need effective methods for regulating both the use of land and the management of infrastructure. The accessibility of data that is accurate, up to date, and insightful is an extremely important factor in the formation of effective methods of urban administration and smart cities. Combining technologies for pervasive sensing, intelligent computing, cooperative communication, and mass data management may enhance urban surroundings, quality of life, and smart city systems. To do this, we need to develop novel strategies for integrating computation and intelligence into urban environments. This field of study focuses on the intersection of computing and intelligence in urban settings.

Published: April 2023

AbstractPrevious studies on Behavioral Activation (BA) Online Micro Interventions (OMIs) reported immediate mood benefits but no lasting effects, while the mechanisms by which these interventions improve mood are unknown. This study aimed to analyze the OMI’s impact on self-reported mood and depressive symptoms. A total of 838 participants (mean age = 35.86) were randomized into either BA condition, BA with reminders (BAR), or Waitlist control (WLC). Participants in the BA and BAR conditions showed a significant and small improvement in mood (t(476) =  − 7.23, p < .001. d = .25) from baseline to immediate post. There were no significant differences by condition in self-reported mood (F(113) = .61, p = .543) and PROMIS scores (F(119) = 1.57, p = .213) from baseline to one week follow-up. Self-reported activity levels significantly increased at the seven-day follow-up for both the BA and BAR conditions (F(58) = 8.28, p = .006). Change in activity level significantly predicted self-reported mood at follow up (F(56) = 5.07, p = .03, r = .29, Adjusted R-squared = .068), but did not significantly predict PROMIS scores at follow up (F(59) = .13 p = .72, r = -.05, adjusted r-squared = -.015). Reminders did not improve completion rates (p = .233). Our results found that the Behavioral Activation OMI had a small but significant immediate effect on self-reported mood for participants in the active conditions. While there were no significant differences in mood and depression across conditions at one week follow-up, there was a significant increase in the number of activities they engaged in at one week follow-up. Overall results of a BA OMI were promising.
Universalism and the Problem of Aesthetic Diversity
Authors: KING ALEX 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis essay examines a recent line of thought in aesthetics that challenges realist-leaning aesthetic theories. According to this line of thought, aesthetic diversity and disagreement are good, and our aesthetic judgments, responses, and attachments are deeply personal and even identity-constituting. These facts are further used to support anti-realist theories of aesthetic normativity. I aim to achieve two goals: (1) to disentangle arguments concerning diversity, disagreement, and personality; and (2) to offer realist-friendly replies to all three.
Sexualizing the Killing of Women: The Rise of the “Rough Sex” Defence in Anglo-American Jurisdictions
Authors: Edwards Susan S. M. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this article I consider the increasing use of the “rough sex” defence by men who kill women in trials of murder. In demonstrating the prevalence of this defence I examine the defence tactics of pleading accident and traducing the character of the dead by invoking the excuse that the deceased consented to the acts which contributed to her death. I examine the impact of this defence strategy on jury determination and return of convictions for unlawful manslaughter rather than murder. The notion that women in these situations have contributed to their own demise is a redolent oeuvre in pornography but also has roots in psychoanalysis and medicine. Stereotypes of women’s sexuality as defined by men continue to inform contemporary thinking skewing male violence against women as an outcome that women desire. Legal attempts to reform the law are examined and challenges to the representation of women in popular culture are called for.
HAPPINESS AND AGE—RESOLVING THE DEBATE
Authors: Blanchflower David G. , Graham Carol , Piper Alan 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This article is a response to a piece in this journal, by David Bartram, which questions the validity of a vast literature establishing consistently a U-shaped relationship between age and happiness. There are 618 published studies that find U-shapes in that relationship in 145 countries, and only a handful that do not. Of the 30 countries that Bartram (2023, National Institute Economic Review, 1–15) examines, he finds U-shapes in 18. We show compelling evidence of U-shapes in the remaining dozen countries. Supporting evidence of a U-shape is found in objective measures including deaths of despair, depression, stress and pain that are worst in midlife.

AbstractWe present theCosmologicalDoubleRadioActiveGalacticNuclei (CosmoDRAGoN) project: a large suite of simulated AGN jets in cosmological environments. These environments sample the intra-cluster media of galaxy clusters that form in cosmological smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations, which we then use as inputs for grid-based hydrodynamic simulations of radio jets. Initially conical jets are injected with a range of jet powers, speeds (both relativistic and non-relativistic), and opening angles; we follow their collimation and propagation on scales of tens to hundreds of kiloparsecs, and calculate spatially resolved synthetic radio spectra in post-processing. In this paper, we present a technical overview of the project, and key early science results from six representative simulations which produce radio sources with both core- (Fanaroff-Riley Type I) and edge-brightened (Fanaroff-Riley Type II) radio morphologies. Our simulations highlight the importance of accurate representation of both jets and environments for radio morphology, radio spectra, and feedback the jets provide to their surroundings.

AbstractThe radio signal transmitted by the Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft was observed regularly between the years 2013–2020 at X-band (8.42 GHz) using the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry (EVN) network and University of Tasmania’s telescopes. We present a method to describe the solar wind parameters by quantifying the effects of plasma on our radio signal. In doing so, we identify all the uncompensated effects on the radio signal and see which coronal processes drive them. From a technical standpoint, quantifying the effect of the plasma on the radio signal helps phase referencing for precision spacecraft tracking. The phase fluctuation of the signal was determined for Mars’ orbit for solar elongation angles from 0 to 180 deg. The calculated phase residuals allow determination of the phase power spectrum. The total electron content of the solar plasma along the line of sight is calculated by removing effects from mechanical and ionospheric noises. The spectral index was determined as$-2.43 \pm 0.11$which is in agreement with Kolmogorov’s turbulence. The theoretical models are consistent with observations at lower solar elongations however at higher solar elongation ($>$160 deg) we see the observed values to be higher. This can be caused when the uplink and downlink signals are positively correlated as a result of passing through identical plasma sheets.
Optimizing second language pronunciation instruction: Replications of Martin and Sippel (2021), Olson and Offerman (2021), and Thomson (2012)
Authors: Nagle Charlie , Hiver Phil 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAn important shift in language learning research is the understanding that pronunciation instruction is necessary to ensure learners’ balanced development in pronunciation and second language (L2) speech. Research focusing on understanding what types of pronunciation instruction are effective and what makes them most effective has grown dramatically over the past decade. Given the methodological heterogeneity apparent in this body of literature, however, many questions remain to understand the specific effects of pronunciation training paradigms on learners’ L2 development. In this article, we make the case that replication is a productive means of validating findings and assessing the strength of existing evidence in L2 pronunciation research. As prime targets for replication, we review three studies that offer different perspectives on how L2 pronunciation instruction can be optimized. We have chosen each of these studies because they significantly advance the field conceptually, have broken new ground empirically, and point to areas in which replication studies can have a large impact. We describe a series of close and/or approximate replications of each initial study that would add detail to existing knowledge and provide a more comprehensive understanding of how and why L2 pronunciation instruction is effective, for whom, and under what conditions.
