Published: December 2022

AbstractLarge cardamom is a high‐value, low‐volume cash crop that is commercially important. The evaluation and selection of suppliers is a complicated and common multi‐criteria decision‐making challenge. Supplier selection becomes more difficult and unpredictable as a result of the necessity for human judgment in many areas of supplier selection, such as preferences for alternatives or supplier qualities. The objective of the study was to evaluate various large cardamom supply chains based on various supply chain quality parameters. The proposed selection strategy used fuzzy logic to identify the best acceptable supplier as well as rank the various supply chain parameters. The major steps of supply chain evaluation by fuzzy modeling involve the calculation of triplets for the score of various supply chains, calculation of triplets for the score of supply chain quality attributes, and calculation of overall membership function on a standard fuzzy scale. The results revealed that the proposed fuzzy logic method was well suited as a decision‐making tool for supplier evaluation. The assessment of various supply chains showed that the best supply chain management method included material moving from producers to consumers through aggregators, commission agents, wholesalers, and retailers. Comparing the overall similarity values of each chosen supply chain, customer satisfaction was ranked top among the quality attributes of the supply chain, followed by external and internal support, internal performance, and strategic and operational coordination. Consumers monitoring the performance of the supply chain can assist in information acquisition, influence the behavior of supply chain participants, and enhance overall performance.Practical applicationSelecting a suitable large cardamom supply chain would provide a solution for regulating the flow of products and information across the supply chain network. Implementing fuzzy logic for preferred supplier selection has a significant impact on the financial perspective. In the fuzzy logic for a large cardamom supply chain, fuzzy sets or membership functions were employed to express input space to output space. Fuzzification was used to transform a vector of crisp input data acquired from a study of a large cardamom supply chain into a vector of equivalent input language variables. The fuzzy output variables are defuzzified in the defuzzification process, and the fuzzy variables are turned into crisp values or crisp output vectors.
Populist infrastructures: The aesthetics and semiotics of how obras do politics in Lima, Peru
Authors: Zhang Adela 
Published: December 2022

AbstractObrismo, or the exchange of public works projects (obras) for popular goodwill, is a fixture of politics in Latin America. In Lima, Peru, various politicians use aesthetic‐semiotic forms like bright colors and snappy hashtags to highlight their concrete contributions to municipal governance. This article examines the specific aesthetic and semiotic operations behind the political alchemy that aims to transform material infrastructures into popular legitimacy. Through digital anthropology of social media, I argue that the aesthetics of obras reveal a populist logic underpinning how infrastructures do politics in Lima. I also suggest that using aesthetic forms to articulate a political constituency like “the people” is a fundamentally unstable political practice. Through colors and hashtags, obras that promise popular legitimacy may instead be resignified, resulting in widespread disapproval. This article therefore uncovers the open‐ended populist possibilities of obras to underscore the need to collectively rethink how populism and infrastructures operate in Latin American politics, online and offline.
Imágenes de la muerte y necropolítica de la dictadura en Chile
Authors: Pavez Ojeda Jorge 
Published: December 2022

AbstractViolent death and forced disappearance, as necropolitical operations of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (Chile, 1973–1990), has been the subject of a war of images where the naturalization of disappearance and the invisibilization of violence were confronted by images created to make visible what state terrorism had tried to erase from historical memory. This article addresses the becoming‐image of these bodies, after their organic death, in the different temporalities of their inscription in social memory through art, cinema, anthropology, and the law. I offer thus a journey into a little explored dimension of necropolitics, such as attempts to manage time and memory through operations of concealment and the technopolitics of images. The written montage of Walter Benjamin's “dialectical images,” which juxtapose, condense, and intertwine heterogeneous temporalities, seeks to show how images of the dead can contribute to disabling the necropolitical administration of memory.
“En Bolivia lo hacen andar”: Régimen de mantenimiento, dimensión emotiva y prácticas de renovación vehicular del transporte colectivo de La Paz
Authors: García‐Jerez Francisco 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this article I analyze the emotional logic that urban transport drivers in La Paz assign to their vehicles in their life cycle. I pay attention to the emotive dimension of the “technical rationality” of practices of vehicle renewal, reuse, and maintenance—that is to say, the set of emotions, affections, and, especially, feelings that emerge in keeping the vehicle in good condition or in its possible replacement. This emotional dimension does not emerge as an autonomous sphere of technical rationality but rather is inherent to it. My hypothesis also points to its overflowing and kaleidoscopic character, since it transcends the individual experience by allowing us to analyze other phenomena of social life.
Tracking farmland investment in Australia: Institutional finance and the politics of data mapping
Authors: Smith Kiah , Langford Alexandra , Lawrence Geoffrey 
Published: December 2022

AbstractTracking farmland purchases is central to interpreting transnational finance's growing power in agrarian restructuring. Australia's publicRegisterof foreign land ownership reveals little about agrarian change, however. In presenting the first comprehensive mapping of farmland purchases made between 2008 and 2020, this paper examines the ways that financial investments are altering farm ownership patterns in Australia. First, we show that most foreign owned land has been purchased by only 10 pastoral companies, which are implicated in speculative development activities. Second, foreign investment in cropping and horticulture is more significant than it appears in theRegister, with investments in agricultural infrastructure increasingly driving land use change. Third, we illustrate the deepening entrenchment of institutional finance. By engaging with the findings from our dataset as well as with the politics of data that have shaped the availability of information, the paper progresses understandings of the financialization of farmland in both its material and ideational aspects.

AbstractAims and ObjectivesTo explore the process of change within the clinical practice of nurses in mental health inpatient units in the context of a participatory process to improve the nurse–patient therapeutic relationship.DesignParticipatory Action Research.MethodsNinety‐six nurses from 18 mental health units participated. Data were collected through focus groups and reflective diaries between March 2018 and January 2020. Data were analysed using inductive content analysis. The COREQ guidelines were used.ResultsThe research process was carried out through two cycles of four stages each in which the nurses were able to identify the facilitating and limiting elements of their practice in relation to the therapeutic relationship. They then proposed two consensual improvement strategies for all the units, which they called reserved therapeutic space and postincident analysis. Finally, they implemented and evaluated the two strategies for change.ConclusionsThis study has shown that, despite the different cultural and structural realities of the participating units, it is possible to implement a collaborative process of change, provided the needs and expectations of both the participants and the organisations are similar.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe results obtained through Participatory Action Research were directly transferred to clinical practice, thus having an impact on individual nurses and patients, as well as on the collective dynamics of the teams and aspects related to the management of the units.No Patient or Public ContributionPatient or public input is not directly applicable to this study. Patients were recipients of the changes that were occurring in the nurses as part of their daily clinical practice.
Dynamics of personality: The Zurich model of motivation revived, extended, and applied to personality

Published: December 2022

AbstractPersonality researchers are increasingly interested in the dynamics of personality, that is, the proximal causal mechanisms underlying personality and behavior. Here, we review the Zurich Model of Social Motivation concerning its potential to explain central aspects of personality. It is a cybernetic model that provides a nomothetic structure of the causal relationships among needs for security, arousal, and power, and uses them to explain an individual's approach‐avoidance or “proximity‐distance” behavior. We review core features of the model and extend them by adding features based on recent behavioral and neuroscientific evidence. We close by discussing the model considering contemporary issues in personality science such as the dynamics of personality, five‐factor personality traits and states, and personality growth.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe performance of a corn steam flaker was evaluated to improve steam‐flaked corn (SFC) quality and investigate its feeding effects on nutritional value, productive performance, digestibility coefficients, and economic efficiency of growing rabbits. The flaker performance was studied as a function of change in steaming time, steam chest temperature and roll gap. Performance evaluation of the flaker was carried out in terms of flake thickness (FT), flake density (FD) and processing index (PI) as well as rabbit feeding trials. Experimental results clarified that values of FT, FD and PI are in the optimal limits under conditions of 118°C steam chest temperature, 40 min steaming time and 0.80 mm roll gap. Steam flaking is an acceptable process for rabbit feeds as SFC with optimal FD of between 0.36 and 0.39 kg/L corresponding to a PI of between 50.14% and 54.32% significantly improve the nutritional value of SFC compared with whole corn grain by 1.31%, 1.26% and 160.75% respectively. Also, SFC severely decreased the total count of harmful bacteria, fungi count and mortality rate compared to whole corn grain. Rabbits fed SFC processed to the density of 0.36 kg/L of the diet had better body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, organic matter digestibility, net revenue and economic efficiency of 9.29%, 8.89%, 4.65%, 15.62% and 15.43% compared with rabbit fed whole yellow corn grain respectively. In conclusion, it is convenient to entirely substitute whole corn grain with SFC to be utilised in rabbits' diets where achieved the best feeding effects results.

SummaryFlowering time is one of important agronomic traits determining the crop yield and affected by high temperature. When facing high ambient temperature, plants often initiate early flowering as an adaptive strategy to escape the stress and ensure successful reproduction. However, here we find opposing ways in the short‐day crop soybean to respond to different levels of high temperatures, in which flowering accelerates when temperature changes from 25 to 30 °C, but delays when temperature reaches 35 °C under short day. phyA‐E1, possibly photoperiodic pathway, is crucial for 35 °C‐mediated late flowering, however, does not contribute to promoting flowering at 30 °C. 30 °C‐induced up‐regulation of FT2a and FT5a leads to early flowering, independent of E1. Therefore, distinct responsive mechanisms are adopted by soybean when facing different levels of high temperatures for successful flowering and reproduction.

AimThe current study aimed to examine the effect of Japanese policies for appropriate hypnotics use and novel hypnotics (e.g. melatonin receptor agonist and orexin receptor antagonist [ORA]) on long‐term prescriptions of hypnotics.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted using a large‐scale health insurance claims database. Among subscribers prescribed hypnotics at least once between April 2005 and March 2021, those prescribed hypnotics for the first time after being included in the database in three periods (period 1: April 2012–March 2013; period 2: April 2016–March 2017; and period 3: April 2018–March 2019) were eligible. These were set considering the timing of the 2014 and 2018 medical fee revisions (2014 for polypharmacy of three or more hypnotics, 2018 for long‐term prescription of benzodiazepine receptor agonists for >12 months). The duration of consecutive prescriptions of hypnotics over 12 months was evaluated. Factors associated with short‐term prescriptions of hypnotics were also investigated.ResultsIn total, 186 535 participants were newly prescribed hypnotics. The mean duration of prescriptions was 2.9 months, and 9.3% of participants were prescribed hypnotics for 12 months. Prescription periods were not associated with short‐term prescriptions of hypnotics. ORA use was associated with short‐term prescriptions of hypnotics (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.077 [95% confidence interval, 1.035–1.120]; P < 0.001), but melatonin receptor agonist use was not.ConclusionJapanese policies had no statistically significant effect on long‐term prescriptions of hypnotics. Although this study suggests initiating ORA for insomniacs as a candidate strategy to prevent long‐term prescriptions of hypnotics, further research is necessary to draw conclusions.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with unintentional injury in children aged 0–6 years.DesignThis is a case‐control study.SampleA total of 150 participants (n: 75 case group, n: 75 control group) were included in the study. The case group consisted of mothers of children who had unintentional injuries and the control group was composed of the mothers of children who did not have unintentional injuries.MeasurementsData were collected using the Participant Information Form and the Identification of Safety Precautions of Mothers with 0–6 year‐old Children for the Prevention of Unintentional Injuries Scale.ResultsThe mean attitude score of the mothers in the case group toward preventing unintentional injury (177.72 ± 15.53) was found to be higher than the mean score of the mothers in the control group (171.64 ± 17.93). An increase in mothers' scores on preventing unintentional injury reduces the risk of children having unintentional injuries 0.98 times.ConclusionThe findings of the study revealed that mothers’ attitudes toward preventing injury, the birth order of the child, and the child having a disability increase risk for unintentional injury.

AbstractAcinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an exceptionally rare type of breast carcinoma with a low‐grade morphology and a favorable prognosis. It is postulated to be a type of invasive carcinoma arising in microglandular adenosis (MGA). We report a case of extensively spreading ACC of the breast with MGA‐like features. Macroscopically, yellowish nodules were widely distributed throughout the right breast, up to the axilla, without mass formation. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of two distinct carcinoma components: one was multiple nodular lesions showing invasive carcinoma with fused solid nests, and the other was a widely spreading lesion exhibiting MGA‐like features with uniform small single glands. Immunohistochemically, both components were negative for ER, PR, and HER2, and expressed EMA, S100 and lysozyme. The distinct morphology and molecular expression indicated ACC. The single glands in the MGA‐like area lacked myoepithelial cells but were linearly surrounded by type IV collagen, a basement membrane component. This case supports the hypothesis that ACC and MGA have the same lineage and indicates that ACC is not necessarily a low‐grade malignancy and can be aggressive.
The legitimation of Askar Akaev through cultural performance in Kyrgyzstan (1991–2005)
Authors: Sheranova Arzuu 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn contrast to existing nationalism studies on Central Asia, I argue that state‐sponsored celebrations in Kyrgyzstan were multi‐functional and were used to maintain political legitimation based on the politics of Kyrgyz mega‐celebrations held during the presidency of Askar Akaev (1991–2005). I propose that in weak democracies like Kyrgyzstan, with widespread electoral malpractice, political legitimacy is shaky and that therefore the political leadership seeks to maintain its legitimacy using various means. Rule by coercion is not a practical option for such regimes because it does not provide them with long‐term legitimacy. As I demonstrate in the paper, Akaev's regime relied on thecultural performancemode of self‐legitimization because it lacked other options for legitimation. Specifically, the mega‐celebrations for the 1,000‐year anniversary ofThe Epic of Manasin 1995, for the 3,000‐year anniversary of the city of Osh in 2000, and for the 2,200‐year anniversary of Kyrgyz statehood in 2003 – each of them led and promoted by Akaev – secured his re‐election and ensured the political stability and legitimacy of his regime. I conclude that in Central Asia nation‐building and legitimacy do not exist as separate processes and that state‐sponsored celebrations should therefore be treated as both nation‐buildingandlegitimation projects.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of a supervised concurrent exercise‐training program during pregnancy on maternal and neonatal birth‐related outcomes and type of birth.MethodsOne hundred and fifty‐nine Caucasian pregnant women from the GESTAFIT project participated in this quasi‐experimental study and were allocated into control [(n = 86), (age 33.1 ± 4.8 years old, BMI 24.8 ± 4.1 kg/m2)] or exercise group [(n = 50) (age 33.1 ± 4.1 years old, BMI: 24.7 ± 4.1 kg/m2)]. The exercise group followed a 60‐min 3 days/week concurrent (aerobic and strength) training program from the 17th gestational week until birth. Maternal and neonatal birth‐related outcomes (i.e., gestational age at birth, duration of labor, placental and neonatal weight and type of birth) were collected from obstetric medical records. Umbilical arterial and venous blood gas analysis were assessed after birth.ResultsThe exercise group increased average duration of the first stage of labor [between‐group differences (B): 80.8 min, 95% confidence interval (CI), 4.18, 157.31, p = 0.03] and decreased duration of the second stage of labor [between‐group differences (B): 29.8 min, 95% CI: −55.5, −4.17, p = 0.02] compared to the control group. The exercise group showed greater placental [between‐group differences (B): 53.3 g (95% CI: 9.99, 96.7, p = 0.01)] and neonatal [between‐group differences (B): 161.8 g (95% CI: 9.81, 313.8, p = 0.033)] weight compared to the control group. No differences between groups were found regarding type of birth (p > 0.05).ConclusionsA concurrent and supervised physical exercise program during pregnancy is safe and could promote better maternal and neonatal birth‐related outcomes. More studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms by which physical exercise increases neonatal and placenta weight.

AbstractIntensive vegetable crop systems are rapidly developing, with consequences for greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, nitrogen leaching and soil carbon. We undertook a field trial to explore the effect of biochar application (0, 10, 20 and 40 t ha−1) on these factors in lettuce, water spinach and ice plant rotation. Our results show that the 20 and 40 t ha−1soil treatments resulted in the SOC content being 26.3% and 29.8% higher than the control (0 t ha−1), respectively, with significant differences among all treatments (p < .05). Biochar application caused N2O emissions to decrease during the lettuce and water spinach seasons, by 1.5%–33.6% and 12.4%–40.5%, respectively, compared the control, with the 20 t ha−1application rate resulting in the lowest N2O emissions. Biochar also decreased the dissolved nitrogen (DN) concentration in leachate by 9.8%–36.2%, following a 7.3%–19.9% reduction in dissolved nitrogen in the soil. Similarly, biochar decreased the nitrate (NO3−) concentrations in leachate by 3.9%–30.2%, following a 3.8%–16.7% reduction in the soil nitrate level. Overall, straw biochar applied at rate of 20 t ha−1produced the lowest N2O emissions and N leaching, while, increasing soil carbon.
