Published: March 2023

Developing the structures of organic materials that rely on the hydrogen bonding of multifunctional substrates is often complicated due to a competition between various possible motifs. In this context, the illustrative case of the carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide anion, [ONC(CN)–C(O)NH2]−, suggests sufficient control over the crystal lattice with a set of supramolecular synthons, which are specific to all the present nitroso, carbamoyl and cyano groups.

−, (4), reveal two- and three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded frameworks governed by a set of site-selective interactions. The strongest N—H...O hydrogen bonds [N...O = 2.6842 (17)–2.8718 (17) Å, mean 2.776 (2) Å] are associated with the polarized ammonium N—H donors and nitroso O-atom acceptors, which sustain invariant motifs in the form of nitroso/ammonium dimers. Subtle structural changes within this series of compounds concern the rupture of some weaker interactions, i.e. mutual hydrogen bonds of the carbamoyl groups in (1)–(3) [N...O = 2.910 (2)–2.9909 (18) Å; mean 2.950 (2) Å] and carbamoyl/nitrile hydrogen bonds in (1), (2) and (4) [N...N = 2.936 (2)–3.003 (3) Å, mean 2.977 (2) Å], providing a gradual evolution of the hydrogen-bonding pattern. A hierarchy of the synthons involving three different groups could be applicable to supramolecular synthesis with polyfunctional methanide species, suggesting also a degree of control over layered and interpenetrated hydrogen-bonded networks.

Authors: Stenberg Rebecca , Wolmesjö Maria 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to give an account for preparative collaboration between the police and municipal eldercare in Sweden concerning missing persons with dementia.Design/methodology/approachDesign/methodology/approach used was a qualitative case study design, consisting of one focus group with representatives for the participating organisations, followed by directed content analysis.FindingsThe findings showed a lack of current collaboration and reluctance to new collaborative initiatives. However, when focussing on preparative collaboration of coordinated responses to missing incidents, possibilities for improvement could be identified. The improvements concerned updated personnel response checklists, along with suggestions for an elaborate life story document in eldercare, with police access. Finally, better coordination of the return of the found person and a follow up were proposed.Research limitations/implicationsIt is suggested that collaboration must be given different meanings and use different approaches adapted to the different phases in a rescue operation. In the preparation and the response phase, the focus should be on coordination of the resources available. In the pre-planning and prevention phases, as well as in evaluation and learning, horizontal collaboration is more suitable. The amount of data in this study is a research limitation which calls for further research.Practical implicationsIt is suggested that collaboration must be given different meanings and use different approaches adapted to the different phases in a rescue operation. In the preparation and the response phase, the focus should be on coordination of the resources available. In the pre-planning and prevention phases, as well as in evaluation and learning, horizontal co-operation is more suitable.Originality/valueThe originality/value of this paper can be found in the novelty of missing person research in Sweden, and in practical suggestions for preparative collaboration concerning persons with dementia who go missing. Finally, it can be found in the suggested need for a more dynamic and process-sensitive view of collaboration in SAR or rescue operations.
Consumer adoption study for innovative technology products and services in an emerging economy
Authors: Sharma Anshu , Gandhi Aradhana Vikas 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore the adoption behaviour of consumers towards innovative technology products and services (ITPS).

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative study using semi-structured in-depth interviews was conducted with 47 respondents. Their lived experiences across 50+ ITPS were studied. A grounded theory approach was used to develop a theory with reference to consumer adoption of ITPS.

Findings
Themes emerged across the adoption process, such as triggers for adoption (pressing need, making life more pleasurable, urge to acquire and forced initiation); hesitancies faced by consumers during evaluation (value alignment, utilization, ecosystem, risks with new technology and price); and factors that help in overcoming the hesitancies (word of mouth, de-risking schemes and self-devised strategies).

Practical implications
Innovators must understand customer triggers and design offerings that activate the same – addressing a pressing need or making lives more pleasurable. Users driven purely by an urge to acquire can be a source of early word of mouth for radical innovations. Innovations must be designed and communicated to minimize hesitancies. Mitigating schemes such as equated monthly installment and return policy can be offered to empower customers to overcome hesitancies. Factors such as price, risk, beliefs, traditions and nationalistic values assume importance, specifically in an emerging economy.

Originality/value
This study based on grounded theory keeps the user at the centre and explains the innovation adoption phenomenon for a wide variety of 50+ ITPS in the context of an emerging economy.
Performance and CEO duality in Indian public banks: a moderating role of board independence
Authors: Singh Rohit Kumar , Sharma Supran Kumar 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe study aims to estimate the impact of the vigilant board independence (BIND) dimension that potentially neutralises the unfair influence of chief executive officer duality (CEODU) on Indian public banks' performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study takes into account the fixed-effects model to investigate the potential moderating effect of BIND in the relationship between CEODU and Indian bank performance. The econometric model is also robust against heteroscedasticity, serial correlation and cross-section dependence issues to ensure that the model is free from such biases. The study also addresses the major issue of endogeneity via vector autoregression and performs the analysis by considering one period lag of the explanatory variables.FindingsThe findings demonstrate that CEODU does not always lead to a negative outcome on the performance until or unless the board is monitored by the effective presence of outside directors.Research limitations/implicationsThe regulatory bodies consider the results to strengthen board capital where CEODU can benefit a business entity if vigilance BIND is present at or above a threshold point.Originality/valueThe study evaluated an under-researched role of BIND as a moderator that undermines the negative influence of CEODU on the performance of Indian banks. The study also establishes that the CEO's contribution to performance increases when the number of outside directors is at or above a certain threshold.
Research on the characteristics of fluid escape near the seabed in Bohai Bay

Published: March 2023

AbstractSeabed fluid flow happens due to the complex interactionamong the accumulation, migration and escape of hydrocarbon and/or fluids. As shallow gas accumulations are anomalously developed in Bohai Bay, studying fluid flow features provides insights for understanding environment fluid in the Bohai Sea. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to make practical and effective use of single‐channel seismic reflection data to delineate and interpret subsurface fluid flow features by analysing the variance, sweetness, instantaneous frequency, and root mean square amplitude of seismic attributes. Four types of submarine fluid escape features, including pockmarks, mounds, fluid vents, dimmed or chaotic seafloor reflections, and two shallow fluid migration pathways (gas chimneys and faults) are distinguished on the single‐channel seismic reflection profiles. Gas chimneys are divided into strict columnar and irregular columnar chimneys, fluid migration along faults is critically dependent on the activity of faults. Enhanced reflections and bright spots may be good indicators of lateral fluid migration and accumulation of fluids in porous formations. We propose a shallow fluid flow model in the study area that illustrates the dynamic fluid migration process in terms of possible fluid sources, shallow migration pathways, and submarine fluid escape features.
The Transformation of Chinese Cultural Images of the Plague through Chinese Characters, Legends and Folkways1
Authors: Li Ying 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe human experience of survival from a plague is about distinguishing the sick from the healthy as quickly as possible, establishing a barrier to stop the infection, and protecting healthy people. Nevertheless, the various quarantine rules and the acceptance and compliance of the population are a kind of battle between policy implementers and the public. This paper tries to understand how Chinese cultural attitudes (Henderson, 1984) unconsciously influence the Chinese people to be most cooperative with the strict containment and quarantine measures to confront the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article begins with the Chinese characters, exemplified by the four characters of disease and plague, to discuss how the pictograph nature and spatial structural way profoundly shaped the cultural mind. Then, through plague‐related Chinese legends, stories and folklore, the paper sets out the Chinese cultural attitudes which are also manifested in the analogical associations between disease, plague and seasons, the balance of the five elements of the universe and ghosts, gods and the government bureaucrats in the Kingdom of the Heaven. All of these approaches are well in line with Jung’s method of associative amplification as a way to locate the archetypal wisdom that assures survival.
Social Activism's Possibility through Perspectives of Gloria Anzaldúa, Walter Benjamin and C. G. Jung1
Authors: Brooks Robin McCoy 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper explores the vertices of Jung's, Anzaldúa's and Benjamin's distinct ontologies and the way in which they connect in the shared recognition that what has been estranged in human history is enigmatically lodged in the world's fabric today. Cultural distress, in other words, is the outcome of what has become repudiated in the self and the collective across time. From this perspective, the paper argues that we have a collective responsibility to listen to the claims of the dead laid bare in moments of contemporary real‐world danger and it elaborates the psychical dimensions of being that are cultivated in times of danger. The author contends that these psychical presences are the dead of human history including our ancestral heritage that linger and possibly may penetrate our awareness. They haunt and hold a potential to animate our movement towards a sublimatory process that can be seen as a precursor to social responsiveness and action. The author explores this through her own experience with an example of the spawning of spiritual activism within the socio‐political maelstrom of AIDS.
Soul, Myth and Cosmovision in a Changing World: Essentials of Analytical Psychology and the Descendent Path1
Authors: Vergara Margarita Ovalle 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis essay addresses the key role of analytical psychology amid our changing world: to work towards an expansion of Humanity's worldview. In current times of utmost transformation, it becomes imperative that we embrace a total cosmovision, one that includes the 360 degrees of existence: not only the 180 diurnal degrees of ascent, light and order, yet also the descendent sphere, incorporating what is unconscious, nocturnal and mysterious. Integrating this lower realm in our psychic life, however, contrasts our Western worldview, in which these two domains are seemingly opposed and mutually excluding. Mythopoetic language, and the mythologems that manifest in different myths, provide the means of delving into the profound paradoxes at the core of the total cosmovision. Myths such as Añañuca (Chile), Osiris (Egypt), Dionysus (Greece) and Innana (Sumer), highlight the descending path, providing a symbolic narrative of an archetypical transformation or spin, a key moment of “turning on its own axis” that merges the realms of Life and Death, ascent and descent, birth and decay. To live this paradoxical and generative path of transformation, individuals must seek their personal myth not outside but within themselves, where springs the Suprasense.
Crosstalk between Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibiotic resistance and virulence mediated by phenylethylamine
Authors: Muñoz‐Cazalla Ada , Martínez José L. , Laborda Pablo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractMultidrug efflux pumps are among the main Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibiotic‐resistance determinants. Besides, efflux pumps are also involved in other relevant activities of bacterial physiology, including the quorum sensing‐mediated regulation of bacterial virulence. Nevertheless, despite the relevance of efflux pumps in bacterial physiology, their interconnection with bacterial metabolism remains obscure. The effect of several metabolites on the expression of P. aeruginosa efflux pumps, and on the virulence and antibiotic resistance of this bacterium, was studied. Phenylethylamine was found to be both inducer and substrate of MexCD‐OprJ, an efflux pump involved in P. aeruginosa antibiotic resistance and in extrusion of precursors of quorum‐sensing signals. Phenylethylamine did not increase antibiotic resistance; however, the production of the toxin pyocyanin, the tissue‐damaging protease LasB and swarming motility were reduced in the presence of this metabolite. This decrease in virulence potential was mediated by a reduction of lasI and pqsABCDE expression, which encode the proteins that synthesise the signalling molecules of two quorum‐sensing regulatory pathways. This work sheds light on the interconnection between virulence and antibiotic‐resistance determinants, mediated by bacterial metabolism, and points to phenylethylamine as an anti‐virulence metabolite to be considered in the study of therapies against P. aeruginosa infections.

AbstractObjectivesTo clarify how pediatric rheumatologists treat systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (s‐JIA) associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in the real world and to assess the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone palmitate (DEX‐P) in the treatment of s‐JIA‐associated MAS.MethodsThis multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at 13 pediatric rheumatology institutes in Japan. This study included 28 patients with s‐JIA‐associated MAS. Clinical findings, such as treatment details and adverse events, were evaluated.ResultsMethylprednisolone (mPSL) pulse therapy was selected as the first‐line treatment in more than half of the patients with MAS. Cyclosporine A (CsA) was used as first‐line therapy in combination with corticosteroids in half of the patients with MAS. DEX‐P and/or CsA were selected as the second‐line therapy in 63% of patients with corticosteroid‐resistant MAS. Plasma exchange was selected as the third‐line therapy for DEX‐P and CsA‐resistant MAS. All patients improved and there were no characteristically severe adverse events associated with DEX‐P.ConclusionsThe first‐line treatment for MAS in Japan is mPSL pulse therapy and/or CyA. DEX‐P could be an effective and safe therapeutic option for patients with corticosteroid‐resistant MAS.

AbstractObjectivesThis systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to examine non‐pharmacological interventions for helping people with dementia who experience feeding difficulties in order to improve their nutritional status.MethodsThe articles were searched using PsycINFO, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL and Cochrane. Two independent investigators critically appraised eligible studies. The PRISMA guidelines and checklist were used. The possibility of risk of bias was assessed using a tool to assess the quality of randomised control trials (RCT) and non‐RCT studies. A narrative synthesis was conducted as a method of synthesis. The Cochrane Review Manager (RevMan 5.4) was used for meta‐analysis.ResultsThe systematic review and meta‐analysis included seven publications. Six interventions were identified and categorised as: eating ability training for people with dementia, staff training and feeding assistance and support. The meta‐analysis found evidence of the effect of eating ability training on feeding difficulty, quantified by the Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale (EdFED) with a weighted mean difference of −1.36 (95% confidence interval: −1.84 to −0.89, p < 0.001) and on self‐feeding time. A spaced retrieval intervention showed a positive effect on EdFED. The systematic review discovered that while feeding assistance had a positive effect on feeding difficulty, staff training had no effect. According to the meta‐analysis, these interventions had no effect on improving the nutritional status of people with dementia.ConclusionsNone of the included RCTs met the Cochrane risk‐of‐bias criteria for randomised trials. This review found that direct training for people with dementia and indirect feeding support from care staff resulted in fewer mealtime difficulties. More RCT studies are needed to determine the efficacy of such interventions.

AbstractIntroductionThis study documented the incidence of incidental findings from preoperative computerized‐tomography (CT) scans obtained for robotic‐arm‐assisted total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and its effect on patient management.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted for patients who underwent robotic‐arm assisted primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from 2016 to 2020. All patients obtained preoperative CT scans which were formally read by fellowship‐trained musculoskeletal radiologists. CT's were flagged with incidental findings and those requiring physician follow‐up were identified as significant.ResultsA total of 1519 patients (mean age, 66 years ±9; 849 females) were evaluated. Seventy‐three (4.81%) patients had incidental CT scan findings, and 25 (1.65%) patients had significant incidental findings. Four patients required additional imaging and two patients required intervention.ConclusionThis study found a 4.81% incidence of incidental findings from preoperative CT scans for robotic‐arm‐assisted THA and TKA. Of these findings, less than 2% required physician follow‐up and less than 1% required intervention. With the increasing popularity of robotic‐arm assisted total joint arthroplasty, it is important to consider the necessity of detection and management of associated incidental findings from preoperative CT scans.

AbstractAnthropogenic activities driving tropical forests' loss imperil global biodiversity and provision of ecosystem services. In this context, systematic monitoring programs evaluating wildlife trends are essential. Non‐human primates are relevant conservation targets since they represent vital components of tropical forests by serving as pollinators and seed dispersers. Here, we present primate group counts data collected over 19 years in a primate hotspot in Tanzania. We analyzed data with a hierarchical dynamic model accounting for imperfect detection that estimates local group abundance and temporal rates of change, to assess whether habitat protection explained trends of the arboreal and diurnal Peters' Angola colobus (Colobus angolensis palliatus), Udzungwa red colobus (Piliocolobus gordonorum), and Tanzania Sykes' monkey (Cercopithecus mitis subsp. moloneyi). We targeted populations occurring in two forest blocks with contrasting protection regimes, with one block impacted by targeted poaching of the two Colobus species. We found that these latter species were much less abundant in the more human impacted forest, underwent a rapid decline, and subsequently remained at low abundance and without signs of recovery once this forest was granted greater protection. Instead, Sykes' abundance did not differ between forests, and improved protection was associated with a slight increase in abundance. Age class composition for social groups of both Colobus species differed between forests, indicating altered births and survivorship rates in the impacted forest. Results suggest that targeted hunting can prevent recovery for several years and even after increased habitat protection. Our approach appears valuable to monitor population dynamics over the long term, highlighting species‐specific variations in both vulnerability to anthropogenic disturbance and recovery patterns in primate populations.

AbstractIn breast or ovarian cancer (BC/OC) patients with evocative personal and/or family history, multigene panel sequencing is performed on blood to diagnose hereditary predispositions. Additionally, BRCA1/BRCA2 testing can be performed on tumor sample for therapeutic purpose. The accuracy of multigene panel tumor analysis on BC/OC to detect predisposing germline pathogenic variants (gPV) has not been precisely assessed. By comparing sequencing data from blood and fresh‐frozen tumor we show that tumor genomic instability causes pitfalls to consider when performing tumor testing to detect gPV. Even if loss of heterozygosity increases germline signal in most cases, somatic copy number variants (CNV) can mask germline CNV and collapse point gPV variant allele frequency (VAF). Moreover, VAF does not allow an accurate distinction between germline and somatic pathogenic variants.
