AbstractThe diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a challenge. There are three methods proposed as diagnostic tools. H2FPEF score was determined by six weighted clinical characteristics and echocardiographic variables. Heart Failure Association (HFA)‐PEFF algorithm consists of various functional and morphological variables as well as natriuretic peptides. SVI/S′ is a novel echocardiographic parameter calculated by stroke volume index and mitral annulus systolic peak velocity. This study aimed to compare the three approaches in patients with suspected HFpEF. Patients referred to right heart catheterization for suspected HFpEF were classified into low‐, intermediate‐ and high‐likelihood groups according to H2FPEF or HFA‐PEFF scores. A diagnosis of HFpEF was confirmed by pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) of ≥15 mm Hg according to the guidelines. In result, a total of 128 patients were included. Of these, 71 patients with PCWP ≥15 mm Hg and 57 patients with PCWP <15 mm Hg. Moderate correlations were observed between H2FPEF score, HFA‐PEFF score, SVI/S′ and PCWP. The area under curve of SVI/S′ was 0.82 for diagnosis of HFpEF, compared with 0.67 for H2FPEF score and 0.75 for HFA‐PEFF score by receiver‐operating characteristics analysis. Combining SVI/S′ with diagnostic scores showed higher Youden index and accuracy than each score alone. Kaplan–Meier analysis reported that the high‐likelihood group showed poorer outcomes regardless the method used for diagnosis. Among the contemporary tools for identifying HFpEF in this study, the combination of SVI/S′ with risk scores showed best diagnostic ability. Each of the strategies can determine rehospitalisation because of heart failure.
Public service motivation helps: Understanding the influence of public employees’ perceived overqualification on turnover intentions
Authors: Bao Yuanjie , Zhong Wei 
Published: May 2023

AbstractPerceived overqualification is an important phenomenon that can lead to several undesirable outcomes; however, this phenomenon has received little research attention from public administration (PA) scholars. This study aims to investigate whether perceived overqualification rendered turnover intentions through eliciting negative affect, and whether public service motivation mitigated those detrimental effects. Analysis of survey data from 418 Chinese public employees supported our predictions. Results indicated that although perceived overqualification led to turnover intention partially through eliciting negative affect, public service motivation helped to mitigate these impairments. These findings suggest that although employees who are overqualified may decide to leave public service jobs, those with high public service motivation are less likely to do so due to their desire to do good for the public. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Points for practitioners
Public managers should pay close attention to possible overqualifications because it may lead to turnover intention among employees.
Public managers should periodically survey the affective states of employees.
Selection and socialisation based on public service motivation should be encouraged.
The effects of immigration enforcement on traffic stops: Changing driver or police behavior?
Authors: van Tiem Britte 
Published: May 2023

AbstractResearch SummaryThis research asks whether jail‐based immigration enforcement leads to the profiling of Hispanics by municipal police. I leverage a natural experiment to examine the effects of 287(g) jail partnerships on traffic stops and arrests by municipal police in North Carolina in the late 2000s. I find that stops of Hispanic drivers fell in the wake of 287(g) agreements, and show that this fall was driven by changes in Hispanic road use. While I cannot unambiguously disentangle police and driver behavior, I find no evidence that municipal police officers increased pretextual stops and arrests of Hispanic drivers.Policy ImplicationsWhile there is existing evidence of racial profiling under 287(g) agreements by sheriff's deputies, this behavior does not appear to have extended to nonsignatory municipal police agencies. Despite this, the signing of 287(g) agreements appears to have prompted Hispanic outmigration and changes in driving behavior, adding to a growing body of evidence on the ripple effects of local‐federal immigration enforcement partnerships in Hispanic communities. This serves as a reminder that changes in demographic composition of the immigrant population may mediate the effects of immigration enforcement efforts on other outcomes.

AbstractAimManaging febrile infants has evolved without a generally accepted standard of care. We aimed to design quality indicators for managing infants ≤90 days old presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with fever without source.MethodsThis multicentre Delphi study was carried out by the Febrile Infant Study Group of the Spanish Paediatric Emergency Research Network, from March 2021 to November 2021, and included paediatric emergency physicians from 24 Spanish EDs. A list of care standards was produced, following an extensive literature review and the involvement of all parties. Indicators were essential if they were voted by four panelists and also received a score of ≥4 from at least 95% of the 24 investigators.ResultsWe established 20 indicators, including one related to having a protocol, two to triage, nine to diagnostic processes, six to treatment and two to disposition. The following indicators were considered essential: having an ED management protocol, performing urinalysis on every infant, obtaining a blood culture from every infant and administering antibiotics in the ED to any febrile infant who did not appear well.ConclusionThe Delphi method resulted in a comprehensive list of quality indicators for managing febrile young infants in Spanish EDs.
Differential impact of chief executive officer tenure on the firm's external and internal corporate social responsibility: Moderating effects of firm's visibility and slack

Published: May 2023

AbstractInconsistent corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices across stakeholder groups may induce undesired consequences for the firm. This study investigates the longitudinal and differential effect of chief executive officer (CEO) tenure on external and internal CSR and the moderating effects of two important contingencies relevant to the firm's social investments: firm visibility and slack availability. It presents CEO tenure as an important upper echelon factor that may induce differential preferences toward external and internal CSR and, therefore, CSR inconsistencies. Accordingly, it proposes two important and relevant contingencies and provides additional evidence on how a firm's visibility and slack availability could affect CEO tenure‐related differential behaviors. The findings contribute to studies on the temporal orientations of CEOs and how they impact firm strategic behavior. They also contribute to the literature on firm visibility and slack and how they may interact with certain upper echelon characteristics and affect firm behaviors. The analysis cautions against the perceptions of the relationships between firm‐ and CEO‐level variables and a firm's aggregate CSR.
Autistic traits and self‐conscious emotions in early childhood

Published: May 2023

AbstractSelf‐conscious emotions arise from evaluating the self through the eyes of others. Given that children with autistic traits may experience difficulties with understanding others' minds, they might show less attuned self‐conscious emotions. Two‐to‐five‐year‐old children's (N = 98, Mage = 48.54 months, 50% girls, 92% White) self‐conscious emotions (guilt, embarrassment, and shame‐like avoidance) were observed after children “broke” the experimenter's favorite toy. Data were collected from March 2018 till June 2019. Children with more autistic traits showed less theory of mind (ToM), and more shame‐like avoidance, but associations were not mediated by ToM. This provides initial evidence that children with more autistic traits may show disturbances in some but not all self‐conscious emotions, which could hinder their social functioning.
Preschoolers rely on rich speech representations to process variable speech

Published: May 2023

AbstractTo learn language, children must map variable input to categories such as phones and words. How do children process variation and distinguish between variable pronunciations (“shoup” forsoup) versus new words? The unique sensory experience of children with cochlear implants, who learn speech through their device's degraded signal, lends new insight into this question. In a mispronunciation sensitivity eyetracking task, children with implants (N = 33), and typical hearing (N = 24; 36–66 months; 36F, 19M; all non‐Hispanic white), with larger vocabularies processed known words faster. But children with implants were less sensitive to mispronunciations than typical hearing controls. Thus, children of all hearing experiences use lexical knowledge to process familiar words but require detailed speech representations to process variable speech in real time.

AbstractDo children consider how others learned when seeking help? Across three experiments, German children (N = 536 3‐to‐8 year olds, 49% female, majority White, tested 2017–2019) preferred to learn from successful active learners selectively by context: They sought help solving a problem from a learner who had independently discovered the solution to a previous problem over those who had learned through instruction or observation, but only when the current problem was novel, yet related, to the learners' problem (Experiment 1). Older, but not younger, children preferred the active learner even when she was offered help (Experiment 2), though only when her discovery was deliberate (Experiment 3). Although a preference to learn from successful active learners emerges early, a genuine appreciation for process beyond outcome increases across childhood.
The influence of social status on children's merit‐based resource allocation: The potential explanation of expectation

AbstractHow 3‐ to 11‐year‐old children integrate recipients' merit and social status when allocating resources was examined in 2021 and 2022. Study 1 (Han Chinese, n = 309, 150 girls) showed that while children prioritized merit, they developed from favoring high‐status recipients to favoring low‐status recipients. Study 2 (n = 194, 98 girls) and Study 3 (n = 138, 68 girls) revealed that children held stereotypes about the relation between merit and social status which shifted with age from expecting high‐status peers to expecting low‐status peers to work harder, these expectations corresponded allocation decisions. These findings suggest children shift from perpetuating to rectifying inequity and changing stereotypes about people of different social status may serve an important function in the process.
Oral discourse skills: Dimensionality of comprehension and retell of narrative and expository texts, and the relations of language and cognitive skills to identified dimensions
Authors: Kim Young‐Suk Grace 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe examined the dimensionality of oral discourse skills (comprehension and retell of texts) and the relations of language and cognitive skills to the identified dimensions. Data were from 529 English‐speaking second graders (Mage = 7.42; 46% female; 52.6% Whites, 33.8% African Americans, 4.9% Hispanics, 4.7% two or more races, .8% Asian Americans, .6% American Indians, .2% Native Hawaiians, 2.5% unknown; data from 2014–2015 to 2016–2017). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that oral discourse skills are best described as four related but dissociable dimensions of narrative comprehension, narrative retell, expository comprehension, and expository retell (rs = .59–.84). Language and cognitive skills had different patterns of relations to the identified dimensions and explained larger amounts of variance in comprehension than in retell.
The role of the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Early Help: Critical reflections from embedded social care research
Authors: El‐Hoss Thomas , Thomas Felicity , Gradinger Felix , Hughes Susanne 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe independent review of children's social care (2022) has proposed a radical reset of England's children's services, shifting a remote, assessment heavy system towards one that works alongside communities to help prevent statutory interventions. However, notions around the harnessing of community resources to deliver Early Help are often underpinned by assumptions regarding the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and the ease with which such organizations can be integrated into preventative strategies. This paper reports findings from embedded research within a unitary authority in Southwest England during remodelling of its Early Help service to work more collaboratively with local VCSE organizations. The study generated data from ethnographic observations, semi‐structured interviews and focus groups with 95 participants, including local parents, service providers, VCSE organizations and Council leaders. The findings illustrate that families value the compassionate, responsive and flexible support available within many VCSE settings. However, differences in practice cultures, regulatory pressures on statutory providers, the need to (re)build trust in communities and sensitivities around power‐sharing and resourcing meant negotiating VCSE sector integration was fraught with complexities. Few studies have gained such privileged access to a Local Authority's remodelling of Early Help services, and this paper has significant insights for the debates surrounding the independent review of children's social care (2022) and its recommendation to bring services ‘closer to communities’.

AbstractPeri‐urban forest monitoring requires indicators of vegetation damage. An example is the sacred fir (Abies religiosa) forests surrounding Mexico City, which have been heavily exposed to tropospheric ozone, a harmful pollutant, for over 4 decades. We developed a participatory monitoring system with which local community members and scientists generated data on ozone tree damage. Santa Rosa Xochiac rangers (13) used the digital tool KoboToolBox to record ozone damage to trees, tree height, tree ages, tree condition, tree position, and whether the tree had been planted. Thirty‐five percent of the trees (n = 1765) had ozone damage. Younger trees had a lower percentage of foliage damaged by ozone than older trees (p < 0.0001), and asymptomatic trees tended to be younger (p < 0.0001). Symptomatic trees were taller than asymptomatic trees of the same age (R2c = 0.43, R2m = 0.27). Involving local communities facilitated forest monitoring and using digital technology improved data quality. This participatory system can be used to monitor forest condition change over time and thus aids restoration efforts driven by government or local communities’ interests, facilitating local decision‐making.

AbstractConservation of migratory species exhibiting wide‐ranging and multidimensional behaviors is challenged by management efforts that only utilize horizontal movements or produce static spatial–temporal products. For the deep‐diving, critically endangered eastern Pacific leatherback turtle, tools that predict where turtles have high risks of fisheries interactions are urgently needed to prevent further population decline. We incorporated horizontal–vertical movement model results with spatial–temporal kernel density estimates and threat data (gear‐specific fishing) to develop monthly maps of spatial risk. Specifically, we applied multistate hidden Markov models to a biotelemetry data set (n = 28 leatherback tracks, 2004–2007). Tracks with dive information were used to characterize turtle behavior as belonging to 1 of 3 states (transiting, residential with mixed diving, and residential with deep diving). Recent fishing effort data from Global Fishing Watch were integrated with predicted behaviors and monthly space‐use estimates to create maps of relative risk of turtle–fisheries interactions. Drifting (pelagic) longline fishing gear had the highest average monthly fishing effort in the study region, and risk indices showed this gear to also have the greatest potential for high‐risk interactions with turtles in a residential, deep‐diving behavioral state. Monthly relative risk surfaces for all gears and behaviors were added to South Pacific TurtleWatch (SPTW) (https://www.upwell.org/sptw), a dynamic management tool for this leatherback population. These modifications will refine SPTW's capability to provide important predictions of potential high‐risk bycatch areas for turtles undertaking specific behaviors. Our results demonstrate how multidimensional movement data, spatial–temporal density estimates, and threat data can be used to create a unique conservation tool. These methods serve as a framework for incorporating behavior into similar tools for other aquatic, aerial, and terrestrial taxa with multidimensional movement behaviors.

AbstractEnhancing agents in echocardiography are used frequently to improve endocardial border visualization and assessment of structural heart disease. We present a unique case of anaphylactic shock with acute coronary syndrome following administration of sulfur hexafluoride echo enhancing agent. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing anaphylaxis to enhancing agents, as well as recognizing the potential relationship between anaphylaxis and acute coronary syndrome with in‐stent thrombosis.

AbstractBackground and purposeRecent studies suggest a possible association between Tarlov cysts (TCs), usually considered as incidental radiological findings, and neurological symptoms such as pain, numbness and urogenital complaints. The aim was to explore the relationship between TCs and sacral nerve root functions using pelvic neurophysiology tests, and to correlate changes with clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.MethodsConsecutive patients with sacral TCs, referred for pelvic neurophysiology testing and presenting with at least one symptom related to the pelvic area, participated in a cross‐sectional review of symptoms using validated questionnaires. Findings of pelvic neurophysiology (pudendal sensory evoked potentials, sacral dermatomal sensory evoked potentials, external anal sphincter electromyography) and urodynamics testing were collected retrospectively. The relationship between neurophysiology, MRI findings and patients' symptoms was assessed using Fisher and ANOVA tests.ResultsSixty‐five females were included (mean age 51.2 ± 12.1 years). The commonest symptom was pain (92%). Urinary (91%), bowel (71%) and sexual (80%) symptoms were also frequently reported. Thirty‐seven patients (57%) had abnormal neurophysiology findings reflecting sacral root dysfunction. No association was seen between MRI findings (size, location of the cysts, severity of compression) and neurophysiology. A negative association was observed between neurophysiology abnormalities and occurrence of urgency urinary incontinence (p = 0.03), detrusor overactivity (p < 0.01) and stress urinary incontinence (p = 0.04); however, there was no association with voiding difficulties.ConclusionsContrary to current understanding, TCs are associated with injury to the sacral somatic innervation in the majority of patients with presumed symptomatic cysts. However, urinary incontinence is unlikely to be related to TC‐induced nerve damage.
