“OK guys, thank you for coming today”: Indexicality, utterance events, and verbal rituals in political speeches in Sheikh Jarrah
Authors: Noy Chaim 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis ethnography looks at the indexical function of several brief utterances, routinely employed by a Palestinian speechmaker, in the Sheikh Jarrah protest in East Jerusalem. Following Silverstein's contributions to the indexically based theory of (meta)pragmatics, “creative” and nonreferential utterances are examined at the utterance event level, in relation to the speech event level, and more generally to verbal rituals. The political speeches I study have been delivered weekly, in Hebrew, by a Sheikh Jarrah resident and activist, for over a decade. The ethnographic analysis depicts how the utterances create a physical and symbolic (rhetorical) space for the performance of the speeches, routinize and ritualize their recurrence, and secure their endurance in a hostile environment. This is accomplished by spatially disassembling and reassembling the protesters, modifying the participation structure, and establishing a host–guest relationship. The speaker is repositioned as a resident, activist, and political rhetor‐in‐the‐becoming, and the protestors are repositioned as his audience.
Board gender diversity, feminine culture, and innovation for environmental sustainability

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe environmental crisis is one of global society's most extreme grand challenges. One of the supply‐side factors that can help cope with it is corporate environmental innovation. Based on the upper echelon and value belief theory and with significant empirical analyses, our results strongly support that the presence of women on the board positively impacts innovation aimed at environmental sustainability. The results are based on a sample of 19,800 firm‐year observations of 2966 unique firms in 54 industry groups domiciled in 52 countries for the 2003–2019 period. The global distribution of the firms means that the sample is diverse enough to examine our main hypotheses. In addition, we show that culturally masculine societies, as captured by their grammatical gender marking, have a negative impact on such innovation. The masculine culture also moderates the impact of gender board diversity on innovation for environmental sustainability. Our results are robust to a battery of empirical tests and definitions, including instrumental variable approach and propensity score matching causality tests. We further explored firms' attitudes toward innovation for environmental sustainability by adding a qualitative case study research design to our quantitative analysis. That was based on semi‐structured interviews with board members and executives. The case studies provided additional support to the results in the quantitative analysis part. This study's empirical results have various broad theoretical and practical implications for board composition, taking into account the linguistic environment of the firm.

SUMMARYLignins and their antimicrobial‐related polymers cooperatively enhance plant resistance to pathogens. Several isoforms of 4‐coumarate‐coenzyme A ligases (4CLs) have been identified as indispensable enzymes involved in lignin and flavonoid biosynthetic pathways. However, their roles in plant–pathogen interaction are still poorly understood. This study uncovers the role of Gh4CL3 in cotton resistance to the vascular pathogen Verticillium dahliae. The cotton 4CL3‐CRISPR/Cas9 mutant (CR4cl) exhibited high susceptibility to V. dahliae. This susceptibility was most probably due to the reduction in the total lignin content and the biosynthesis of several phenolic metabolites, e.g., rutin, catechin, scopoletin glucoside, and chlorogenic acid, along with jasmonic acid (JA) attenuation. These changes were coupled with a significant reduction in 4CL activity toward p‐coumaric acid substrate, and it is likely that recombinant Gh4CL3 could specifically catalyze p‐coumaric acid to form p‐coumaroyl‐coenzyme A. Thus, overexpression of Gh4CL3 (OE4CL) showed increasing 4CL activity that augmented phenolic precursors, cinnamic, p‐coumaric, and sinapic acids, channeling into lignin and flavonoid biosyntheses and enhanced resistance to V. dahliae. Besides, Gh4CL3 overexpression activated JA signaling that instantly stimulated lignin deposition and metabolic flux in response to pathogen, which all established an efficient plant defense response system, and inhibited V. dahliae mycelium growth. Our results propose that Gh4CL3 acts as a positive regulator for cotton resistance against V. dahliae by promoting JA signaling‐mediated enhanced cell wall rigidity and metabolic flux.

AbstractBackgroundPrior to the novel coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic, nurses died by suicide more frequently than the general population. Antecedents prior to death include known job problems, such as disciplinary action; diversion of medications; inability to work due to chronic pain; and physical and mental illness.AimThe aim of this study was to explore the suicide experience of nurses who died with known job‐related problems during the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic compared to what has been previously described.MethodDeductive reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze narratives of nurses with known job problems who died by suicide from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System.ResultsForty‐three nurses with known job‐related problems completed suicide between March and December 2020. Factors associated with death were similar to previous findings with notable exceptions, increased prevalence of suicidal ideation and post‐traumatic stress prior to the event. Pandemic‐specific issues were noted including reduction in hours, fear of disease transmission, civil unrest, and grief‐related trauma.Linking Evidence to ActionSuicide prevention programs need to address both institutional and individual factors associated with nurse suicide. As previously recommended, transitions into retirement and job loss are vulnerable times warranting psychological support. Further, strategies to reduce the impact of stressors and increase support for nurses are needed at the organizational level. A systems level approach to hardwire coping strategies is indicated pre‐licensure and throughout nurses' careers. A new focus on how to process personal and professional grief is warranted. Resources are needed for nurses traumatized by life (rape, childhood trauma) or work‐related experiences.
Assessing maternal alcohol consumption in pregnancy: comparison of confidential postnatal maternal interview and measurement of alcohol biomarkers in meconium
Authors: Henderson Elizabeth MA , Tappin David , Young David , Favretto Donata , Mactier Helen 
Published: March 2023

ObjectiveKnowledge of alcohol consumption in pregnancy is important for early identification of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. We investigated whether alcohol biomarkers fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) and ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in meconium are predicted by maternal or newborn demographics and/or correlate with confidential early postnatal self-report of alcohol consumption in pregnancy.DesignAnonymised, observational population-based study.SettingInner-city maternity unit, Glasgow, UK.PatientsSingleton mother/infant dyads delivering every fourth day.InterventionsMother: confidential postnatal interview. Baby: meconium sample for FAEEs and EtG.Results840/908 mothers consented. 370 (46.4%) reported alcohol consumption in pregnancy, generally of modest amount; for 114 (13.6%) this was after 20 weeks’ gestation. Alcohol consumption in later pregnancy was more commonly reported by older (31.3 vs 29.5 years) women of white British ethnicity (p<0.05); their babies were on average 118 g heavier (p=0.032). FAEEs were identified in all meconium samples; concentration was ≥600 ng/g in 39.6%. EtG concentration was ≥30 ng/g in 14.5%. Neither biomarker was associated with maternal age, body mass index or socioeconomic status but when EtG was ≥30 ng/g, the mother was less likely to identify as white British (71.3% vs 81.8%, p=0.028). Sensitivities of FAEEs ≥600 ng/g and EtG ≥30 ng/g were 43.1% and 11.6%, respectively for postnatal self-report of alcohol use in later pregnancy (specificities 60.6% and 84.8%).ConclusionsFAEEs and EtG measured in meconium have low sensitivity and specificity for self-reported alcohol consumption after 20 weeks’ gestation in an unselected Scottish population.

AimsTo describe the clinical features, imaging characteristics, histopathology, treatment and outcomes of intraocular medulloepithelioma.MethodsMedical records of 11 patients with clinically or histopathologically confirmed medulloepithelioma were retrieved and reviewed. Clinical features, diagnostic challenges, imaging characteristics, management, histopathology and prognosis were assessed.ResultsThe median age of the patients at initial diagnosis was 4 years, with the most common manifestations being leukocoria (five eyes), loss of vision (four eyes), ocular pain (one eye) and ophthalmic screening (one eye). The clinical signs include a grey-white ciliary body lesion, cataract or lens subluxation, secondary glaucoma and evident cysts. The ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging most commonly displays ciliary body mass with intratumoural cysts (nine eyes). Three patients underwent surgery for cataract or glaucoma while the tumours were incidentally found. Two of the three patients managed by eye preserve treatments eventually required enucleation because of local tumour recurrence or phthisis. One patient treated with intra-arterial chemotherapy and cryotherapy had successful tumour regression and globe salvage.ConclusionsInitial misdiagnosis, delay in diagnosis and subsequent misdirected management is not uncommon in medulloepithelioma. The presence of multiple cysts in the tumour and retrolental neoplastic cyclitic membrane detected by UBM can offer certain information. Selective intra-arterial melphalan may prevent further tumour growth, but longer follow-up is necessary until treatment efficacy is fully evaluated.

The Not-So-Distant Future or Just Hype? Utilizing Machine Learning to Predict 30-Day Post-Operative Complications in Laparoscopic Colectomy Patients
Authors: Velmahos Constantine S. , Paschalidis Aris , Paranjape Charudutt N. 
Published: March 2023

Background Complex machine learning (ML) models have revolutionized predictions in clinical care. However, for laparoscopic colectomy (LC), prediction of morbidity by ML has not been adequately analyzed nor compared against traditional logistic regression (LR) models. Methods All LC patients, between 2017 and 2019, in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) were identified. A composite outcome of 17 variables defined any post-operative morbidity. Seven of the most common complications were additionally analyzed. Three ML models (Random Forests, XGBoost, and L1-L2-RFE) were compared with LR. Results Random Forests, XGBoost, and L1-L2-RFE predicted 30-day post-operative morbidity with average area under the curve (AUC): .709, .712, and .712, respectively. LR predicted morbidity with AUC = .712. Septic shock was predicted with AUC ≤ .9, by ML and LR. Conclusion There was negligible difference in the predictive ability of ML and LR in post-LC morbidity prediction. Possibly, the computational power of ML cannot be realized in limited datasets.

Published: March 2023

The unification and development of crawling Asian countries is the burning issue after the declaration of failure of the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) region. Besides, a small bubble in the ocean of agreements is ‘BIMSTEC’ (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation), which has not been flourishing to date due to the lack of interest of a dominating country like India, whose focus is on other successful regional blocs. However, recent studies have shown that though it starts late but contributing significantly towards the trade among BIMSTEC countries. And, second, almost all the countries have shared similar cultures, languages and levels of per-capita income except Myanmar and Thailand, which will favour the trade among the region. Thus, the main focus of the study is to analyse the revealed comparative advantage of countries in BIMSTEC, their trade competitiveness and contribution made to the country’s growth before and after formation by the region. Under the study, it was observed that the intra-industry trades of India in Agriculture among the BIMSTEC nations have shown very less potential for trade in all 24 agriculture chapters. Thus, economies need to reframe the policies as required and identify the potential products in agricultural-related goods that can significantly improve the trade balance of the countries.

Published: March 2023

Objective To evaluate the effect of telerehabilitation on oral function of oral and maxillofacial tumor patients. Design Unicentral, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Setting Community. Subjects Patients with primary oral and maxillofacial tumor receiving surgical treatment. Interventions Telerehabilitation guidance from therapists. Main measures At the beginning of training (T0) and 1 month (T1), 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) after training, patients’ masticatory ability (mastication efficiency—masticatory performance evaluating gum, maximum bite force and mouth opening) and swallowing ability (water swallowing test) was measured. Modified Sato questionnaire and MD Anderson dysphagia inventory (MDADI) were used for self-evaluation of masticatory and swallowing ability. Results A total of 64 participants (intervention: 33; control: 31) were included. The masticatory efficiency scores of the intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group at T2 (intervention: 3.67 (0.48); control: 3.03 (0.85)) and T3 (intervention: 4.20 (0.30); control: 3.50 (0.79)); and maximum mouth opening was better at T2 (intervention: 3.18 (0.59); control: 2.77 (0.54)) and T3 (intervention: 3.54 (0.58); control: 3.09 (0.41)). In water swallowing test, the intervention group had better scores at T2 and T3. The scores of MDADI scale in intervention group were better than those in the control group after 3 months of training. In subgroup analysis, the intervention group of oral cancer patients had better swallowing function at T2 and T3, but no significant difference was found in the subgroup of oropharyngeal cancer. Conclusions Telerehabilitation could greatly improve the long-term (3–6 months) training effect under the condition of greatly saving medical resources and reducing personnel contact.

Background Projection radiography and, more recently, computed tomography (CT) play an important role in forensic age estimation. Both in terms of general criminal responsibility and government regulations concerning refugee care, it is important to differentiate correctly between youths and adults. A disadvantage of age estimation in CT is the ionizing radiation exposure. Purpose To investigate how far the CT dose can be reduced without losing diagnostic confidence in assessing the different stages of ossification of the medial clavicle. Material and Methods We prospectively scanned 25 postmortem cases with a fixed parameters protocol (FPP) and a care dose modulation protocol (CDMP) for different scan parameters. Two radiologists assessed the diagnostic image quality using a 5-point Likert scale. Inter-reader agreement was evaluated with Cohen's kappa. Differences in doses between FPP and CDMP were assessed with the one-tailed t-test. Results The best combination of diagnostic image quality and lowest radiation dose was obtained using a CDMP with 100 kV and 40 mAs and an FPP with 100 kV and 30 mAs. Doses for 120 kV were significantly higher (one-tailed P < 0.001). The diagnostic image quality for 80 kV was insufficient overall. Discussion Our results confirm that CT imaging at 100 kV allows a sufficient image quality that is diagnostic for age estimation in the ossification of the medial clavicle.
Intra-operative Diagnosis of Lower Segment Scar Dehiscence in a Second Gravida After One Previous Lower Segment Cesarean Section: Should We Advocate for Routine Antenatal Uterine Scar Thickness Testing?

Background: Uterine dehiscence is a separation of uterine musculature with intact uterine serosa. It can be encountered at the time of cesarean delivery, suspected on obstetric ultrasound or diagnosed in-between pregnancies. The antenatal diagnosis may occasionally elude the Obstetricians. This particular case demonstrates an intra-operative diagnosis of uterine dehiscence with missed antenatal ultrasound diagnosis in an asymptomatic woman. Case presentation: She was a 32-year-old Nigerian second gravida who booked for antenatal care at 32 weeks of gestation following a referral from her attending Obstetrician from a neighboring state due to relocation. She had 3 antenatal visits and 2 antenatal ultrasound investigations without uterine scar thickness report. She subsequently had elective Cesarean section (CS) at a gestational age of 38 weeks plus 2 days due to persistent breech presentation on a background of a previous lower segment CS scar. There was no previous uterine curettage prior to or after the previous lower segment CS scar and there was no labor pains prior to the elective CS. The surgery was successful with intra-operative findings of moderate intra parietal peritoneal adhesions with rectus sheath and obvious uterine dehiscence along the line of the previous CS scar. The fetal outcomes were normal. Immediate post-operative condition was satisfactory and the woman was discharged on a third-day post operation. Conclusion: Obstetricians are charged to maintain a high index of suspicion when managing pregnant women with history of emergency CS in order to avert the adverse consequences of uterine rupture from asymptomatic uterine dehiscence. Based on this report, it may be useful to routinely assess the lower uterine segment scar of women with previous emergency CS using the available ultrasound facilities. However, more studies are needed before advocating for routine antenatal uterine scar thickness testing following emergency lower segment CS in low and middle-income settings.
