Welcome to the club? Unethical behavior and proactivity in promotion and derailment decisions
Authors: Crossley Craig , Taylor Shannon G. , Treviño Linda K. , Taylor Regina , Rice Darryl 
Published: July 2023

SummaryChallenging research that touts positive career outcomes for proactive individuals, this study takes the organizational decision‐maker's perspective and draws on tournament theory to qualify and better understand the link between manager proactivity and subsequent promotion into the executive ranks. Results from three studies support a moderated mediation model wherein proactivity is associated with leader schema matching, which, in turn, enhances promotion and inhibits derailment. However, the positive effects of proactivity are nullified when managers also engage in unethical behavior, which operates as a boundary condition on the indirect relations between proactivity and subsequent job mobility. These findings help explain why some proactive managers are derailed rather than promoted into senior leadership.

AbstractCircular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of endogenous noncoding RNA (ncRNA), exert vital roles in leukemia progression and are promising prognostic factors. Here, we report a novel circRNA, circSLC25A13 (hsa_circ_0081188), which was increased in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with poor overall survival (OS) comparing to patients with good prognosis. Knockdown of circSLC25A13 in AML cells inhibited proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Enhanced circSLC25A13 expression promoted the survival of AML cells. Mechanistically, circSLC25A13 played as a microRNA sponge of miR‐616‐3p, which inhibited the expression of adenylate cyclase 2 (ADCY2). Downregulation of miR‐616‐3p and overexpression of ADCY2 partially rescued circSLC25A13 deficient induced cell growth arrest. In summary, through competitive absorption of miR‐616‐3p and thereby upregulating ADCY2 expression, circSLC25A13 promoted AML progression. Moreover, circSLC25A13 may represent a potential novel biomarker for the prognosis of AML and offer a potential therapeutic target for AML treatment.
Invisible governance: Cognitive ability and corporate social responsibility
Authors: Zhuang Xudong , Lin Xi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractOur research examines the effect of cognitive ability on corporate social responsibility (CSR) based on the data of listed companies in China's A‐share market. As an informal system, cognitive ability plays an important governance role in CSR performance. The channel analysis shows that cognitive ability stimulates CSR through three mechanisms: improving external supervision, strengthening internal control, and promoting external supervision to boost internal control. In addition, the effect of cognitive ability on CSR performance is heterogeneous according to the different ownership of enterprises. Furthermore, we find that cognitive ability has an important supervisory effect on the CSR of state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) with greater financing constraints. Mitigating the financing constraints and the operating risks of non‐SOEs can better improve governance effect of cognitive ability on them, reducing their practices of CSR motivated by rent‐seeking.
Basal Forebrain Atrophy, Cortical Thinning, and Amyloid‐β Status in Parkinson's disease‐Related Cognitive Decline

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundDegeneration of the cortically‐projecting cholinergic basal forebrain (cBF) is a well‐established pathologic correlate of cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD). In Alzheimer's disease (AD) the effect of cBF degeneration on cognitive decline was found to be mediated by parallel atrophy of denervated cortical areas.ObjectivesTo examine whether the association between cBF degeneration and cognitive decline in PD is mediated by parallel atrophy of cortical areas and whether these associations depend on the presence of comorbid AD pathology.MethodsWe studied 162 de novo PD patients who underwent serial 3 T magnetic resonance imaging scanning (follow‐up: 2.33 ± 1.46 years) within the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. cBF volume and regional cortical thickness were automatically calculated using established procedures. Individual slopes of structural brain changes and cognitive decline were estimated using linear‐mixed models. Associations between longitudinal cBF degeneration, regional cortical thinning, and cognitive decline were assessed using regression analyses and mediation effects were assessed using nonparametric bootstrap. Complementary analyses assessed the effect of amyloid‐β biomarker positivity on these associations.ResultsAfter controlling for global brain atrophy, longitudinal cBF degeneration was highly correlated with faster cortical thinning (PFDR < 0.05), and thinning in cBF‐associated cortical areas mediated the association between cBF degeneration and cognitive decline (rcBF‐MoCA = 0.30, P < 0.001). Interestingly, both longitudinal cBF degeneration and its association with cortical thinning were largely independent of amyloid‐β status.ConclusionscBF degeneration in PD is linked to parallel thinning of cortical target areas, which mediate the effect on cognitive decline. These associations are independent of amyloid‐β status, indicating that they reflect proper features of PD pathophysiology. © 2023 The Authors.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundC‐reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive biomarker of inflammation with moderate heritability. The role of rare functional genetic variants in relation to serum CRP is understudied. We aimed to examine gene mutation burden of protein‐altering (PA) and loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants in association with serum CRP, and to further explore the clinical relevance.MethodsWe included 161,430 unrelated participants of European ancestry from the UK Biobank. Of the rare (minor allele frequency <0.1%) and functional variants, 1,776,249 PA and 266,226 LOF variants were identified. Gene‐based burden tests, linear regressions, and logistic regressions were performed to identify the candidate mutations at the gene and variant levels, to estimate the potential interaction effect between the identified PA mutation and obesity, and to evaluate the relative risk of 16 CRP‐associated diseases.ResultsAt the gene level, PA mutation burdens of the CRP (β = −0.685, p = 2.87e‐28) and G6PC genes (β = 0.203, p = 1.50e‐06) were associated with reduced and increased serum CRP concentration, respectively. At the variant level, seven PA alleles in the CRP gene decreased serum CRP, of which the per‐allele effects were approximately three to seven times greater than that of a common variant in the same locus. The effects of obesity and central obesity on serum CRP concentration were smaller among the PA mutation carriers in the CRP (pinteraction = 0.008) and G6PC gene (pinteraction = 0.034) compared to the corresponding non‐carriers.ConclusionPA mutation burdens in the CRP and G6PC genes are strongly associated with decreased serum CRP concentrations. As serum CRP and obesity are important predictors of cardiovascular risks in clinics, our observations suggest taking rare genetic factors into consideration might improve the delivery of precision medicine.
The Larrakia Kinship Terminology: Asymmetrical Cross‐Cousin Marriage and Omaha Skewing
Authors: Harvey Mark 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTThe Larrakia terminology is a member of the very small class of asymmetric terminologies in Australia, but it is the most poorly described. There are a number of documentary sources, and this paper considers principled bases for the comparative evaluation of sources in order to produce a well‐founded description which can contribute to theories of kinship both in Australia and more generally. In terms of general kinship theory, the reconstructed Larrakia terminology raises issues for the analysis of Omaha skewing as a category. The prototype equation for Omaha skewing is MB = MBS, with equations such as MMB = MMBS being extensions. The Larrakia kin terminology is unusual among kin terminologies in having the extension equation MMB = MMBS but not the prototype equation. This raises a question as to the sufficiency conditions for membership of the Omaha category and the implications of the inclusion or exclusion of the Larrakia terminology in debates over the Omaha category.
‘Stalked by the Malignant Father's Spirit: A Case of Patricide among the Yagwoia (PNG)’ by Jadran Mimica
Authors: Gillison Gillian 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTJadran Mimica presents the ‘life‐world’ of Yagwoia people of Papua New Guinea as a unique variant of the Jungian Ouroboric archetype, a primal pattern or symbol derived from the ancient Greek ‘tail devourer’ (the serpent that eats its own tail), found in many cultures and individual unconscious phantasies. Treated in terms of ‘ouroboric dialectics’, relations between Yagwoia father and son are hostile, even patricidal, because the son's very existence derives from the father's ‘continuous and irreversible’ transfer to him of his limited supply of vital substance or ‘paternal bone’. Sons replace fathers in ways that fathers may experience as ‘violent loss of … generative bodily core’, a process that Mimica asserts ‘can only be adequately understood through individual‐biographical life‐situations and trajectories’. In bypassing anthropology's classical terrain, or treating Yagwoia life‐ways as contingent upon the ‘ouroboric cosmic Self’ – a ‘wholly pre‐genital gestalt of self‐generation’ – Mimica distorts the role of collective rites of passage and affinal exchange to counter, inhibit, and redirect the primary narcissism intrinsic to human beings. In a small scale society like the Yagwoia, whose survival and well‐being depend upon the integration of nearly all its members, the main ‘work of culture’ is to recruit socially adept adults from each new crop of infants by helping them to overcome – not to repeat or magnify – existential problems of growing up that afflict everyone but that no one can resolve, or even fully understand, on their own. The ‘ouroboric (self‐copulating^eating) phallus’ is one image or ‘mythologeme’ of infantile narcissism. Based upon my own fieldwork among Gimi‐speakers in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, I suggest that such myths serve as templates for rites of exchange intended to thwart the calamity myths envisage – not to facilitate or intensify it.
Simulation of microtubule–cytoplasm interaction revealed the importance of fluid dynamics in determining the organization of microtubules
Authors: Murshed Mohammad , Wei Donghui , Gu Ying , Wang Jin 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAlthough microtubules in plant cells have been extensively studied, the mechanisms that regulate the spatial organization of microtubules are poorly understood. We hypothesize that the interaction between microtubules and cytoplasmic flow plays an important role in the assembly and orientation of microtubules. To test this hypothesis, we developed a new computational modeling framework for microtubules based on theory and methods from the fluid–structure interaction. We employed the immersed boundary method to track the movement of microtubules in cytoplasmic flow. We also incorporated details of the encounter dynamics when two microtubules collide with each other. We verified our computational model through several numerical tests before applying it to the simulation of the microtubule–cytoplasm interaction in a growing plant cell. Our computational investigation demonstrated that microtubules are primarily oriented in the direction orthogonal to the axis of cell elongation. We validated the simulation results through a comparison with the measurement from laboratory experiments. We found that our computational model, with further calibration, was capable of generating microtubule orientation patterns that were qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the experimental results. The computational model proposed in this study can be naturally extended to many other cellular systems that involve the interaction between microstructures and the intracellular fluid.

AbstractBackgroundCardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in people aging with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is predominantly caused by atherosclerosis; however, knowledge of atherosclerosis in people with SCI is scarce.ObjectiveTo describe coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in middle‐aged people with long‐term cervical and upper thoracic SCI using coronary computed tomography angiography, carotid ultrasound, and cardiovascular disease risk factors and to compare with the general population.DesignCross‐sectional study with matched controls.SettingOutpatient SCI unit in southern Sweden.ParticipantsParticipants (n = 25) in the Swedish SPinal Cord Injury Study on Cardiopulmonary and Autonomic Impairment (SPICA) (20% women, mean age 58 years, mean time since injury 28 years, injury levels C2‐T6, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A‐C). Non‐SCI controls (n = 125; ratio 5:1) from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS).InterventionsNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasurementsPresence of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary artery calcium score, carotid plaques, carotid intima media thickness, blood pressure, lipids, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), and anthropometry.ResultsCoronary and carotid atherosclerotic plaques occurred in 44% of the participants, 67% of the controls exhibited coronary and 59% carotid plaques; odds ratios (OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]): 0.38 (0.13–1.17) and 0.54 (0.22–1.32), respectively. Mean number of segments with coronary atherosclerosis were 1.0 in participants and 2.1 in controls (OR: 0.74 [0.52–1.06]). Coronary artery calcium score > 100 occurred in 4 (18%) of the participants and 23 (21%) of the controls. The participants had significantly lower levels of total and non‐high density lipoprotein cholesterol and SCORE than the controls.ConclusionsThis is the first comprehensive assessment of atherosclerosis in people with SCI using advanced imaging techniques. The atherosclerotic burden in middle‐aged people with long‐term cervical and upper thoracic SCI was not increased, whereas SCORE was lower due to lower cholesterol levels. Imaging techniques may be valuable tools for assessment of atherosclerosis in SCI.
Synthesis of degradable polyacetals via an intramolecular phosphonium bisborane Lewis pair catalyzed copolymerization of epoxides with o‐phthaladehyde

Published: July 2023

AbstractAn intramolecular phosphonium bisborane Lewis pair (PBB‐Br) was used for the copolymerization of o‐phthalaldehyde (OPA) with epoxides under mild conditions. In particular, poly(o‐phthalaldehyde‐alt‐propylene oxide) termed as (poly(OPA‐alt‐PO)), having high molecular weight (Mn = 42.5 kg/mol) with Đ = 1.12 was generated at 25 °C using PBB‐Br as a highly efficient catalyst. The purity of OPA, temperature and monomer/comonomer feeding ratio effects on the copolymerization were investigated. Subsequently, the degradability and thermal stability of generated polyacetals were studied. Using alcohol as chain transfer agent, random or block polyacetal‐polyethers with different structures can be obtained in one‐pot synthesis. The cooperation of the two boron centers plays a pivotal role in boosting the activity of copolymerization of OPA and PO.
Pulmonary extra‐nodal mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma: A rare cause of persistent lung consolidation
Authors: Kou Lily , Huan Nai‐Chien , Nyanti Larry Ellee , Chin Jiunn Sheng , Mohamad Nor Bahiyyah , Ramarmuty Hema Yamini 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPulmonary extra‐nodal marginal zone B‐cell lymphoma, also known as extra‐nodal mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, is rare among all non‐Hodgkin lymphomas and generally among all pulmonary malignancies. We present a 46‐year‐old lady with persistent right lower lung consolidation despite earlier treatment efforts with intravenous antibiotics for community acquired pneumonia. Apart from initial presentation with a short 3‐day history of fever, cough and shortness of breath, she had remained largely asymptomatic throughout the follow‐up period. Flexible bronchoscopy done ruled out infectious aetiologies but transbronchial lung biopsies showed atypical lymphocytes. A computed tomography guided core biopsy of her right lung consolidation was subsequently performed, confirming a diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma. She was promptly referred to the haematology team for further management and commencement of chemotherapy. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma, albeit uncommon and often follows a relatively indolent cause, should be considered as a differential diagnosis among patients with persistent lung consolidation.

AbstractAmoebiasis is the most common protozoan disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica. The second most frequent extraintestinal infection, behind amoebic liver abscess, is pulmonary amoebiasis. We present the case of an immunocompromised 40‐year‐old man. He complained of cough for 1 month, shortness of breath, and fever. Chest x‐ray demonstrated left paracardial consolidation, possibly pneumonia or a mass. Chest CT scans with contrast revealed the presence of an abscess‐mimicking tumour. CT‐guided TTB and histology examinations indicated the presence of trophozoites of E. histolytica. This patient was diagnosed with pulmonary amoebiasis. Diagnostic criteria for pulmonary amoebiasis include clinical manifestations, radiography, and microscopic examination. There was an improvement in clinical response after a 10‐day course of antibiotics. Amoebiasis of the lungs is treatable with medicines and drainage when necessary. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to decrease mortality and morbidity.

AbstractIt has become increasingly common to include participatory processes, several academic disciplines, and additional wide‐ranging ways of knowing, in using research to tackle the escalating environmental problems of the 21st Century. There are barriers to the success of these efforts. In this paper we present the Adaptive Systemic Approach (ASA). The ASA is designed to provide a clear pathway for research related to sustainability issues, river basin problems and natural resource development, and to deliver change towards improved ecological health and social justice outcomes. The design of the ASA rests on three key concepts: complex social‐ecological systems, transdisciplinarity, and transformative social learning, together with Strategic Adaptive Management as the theoretically consistent operational process. We identify logical connections between the concepts and Strategic Adaptive Management so that the ASA emerges as a coherent and practical research and praxis pathway. The ASA process is then outlined to support uptake and wider application. We present findings from ASA praxis in a collaborative African research program considering river basin problems in seven countries, where key contextual learnings led to the recognition of five barriers to effective research impact outcomes: (1) Lack of an integrative conceptual grounding. (2) Participatory stakeholder engagement flawed by epistemic injustice. (3) Inadequate transdisciplinary team building. (4) Insufficient inclusion of learning, reflection, and systemic adaptation. (5) Inflated claims of probable impact in terms of creating change towards improved ecological health and social justice. We reflect on the ways the ASA contributes to breaching these barriers. Early key learnings from ASA praxis leads us to suggest that the ASA has practical value for policy makers, practitioners and researchers seeking pathways for fair and sustainable river management, and more broadly in natural resource development.
