Tourism research progress: comparing tourism literature reviews published in English WOS and Chinese CNKI language journals
Authors: Hu Tao , Chen Yihong , Chen Huimin , Zhang Yangyan 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to expand tourism knowledge by analysing literature review articles published in English Web of Science (WOS) and Chinese China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) language journals and reviewing their influence, interconnection and trends.

Design/methodology/approach
A three-stage method was designed to understand the tourism research progress. Performance analysis identified the publication timeline, high-yielding journals and authors that published tourism literature reviews and frequently cited papers. Science mapping visualisation examined the intrinsic connections between co-authorship and co-institution. Finally, emerging trend analysis explored the topic modelling and evolution through Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and regression.

Findings
The key statistics and collaborations relationships of tourism literature reviews were traced. LDA identified 45 and 22 topics, which narrowed the barriers in tourism studies. The regression analysis divided these topics into “hot”, “fresh”, “bell-shaped” and “stable” patterns. These modes represent the progress of tourism studies. The topic “new emerging technologies and the internet” is the focus of tourism literature reviews published in both databases. Future research could pay more attention to the topics in the “hot” and “fresh” patterns. The results enrich the progress of tourism literature reviews and provide a direction for future research.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first literature analysis for tourism literature reviews published in WOS versus CNKI journals. The proposed three-stage systematic method is used for the first time for the literature review and can guide future research.
Public servants working from home during the pandemic: Who gained and who lost?
Authors: Williamson Sue , Colley Linda , Huybers Twan , Tani Massimiliano 
Published: March 2023

AbstractEmployees experienced both advantages and disadvantages while working from home during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Researchers have examined these impacts on women and those with caring responsibilities; however, little research has examined the impacts on other groups of employees, such as those with a disability or employed on a casual basis. In this article, we focus on the public sector and examine who gained and who lost while working from home, based on a 2020 survey of over 5000 Australian public servants. We have constructed loss and gain indices to measure three elements of a change model, which enables an evaluation of the impacts on various groups of employees. The elements of change management examined are operational areas, performance management, and beliefs and values. To analyse the factors affecting gains and losses, as summarised in the indices, we applied a statistical model estimated using linear regression methods. Our findings reveal that, on average, survey participants experienced a net gain. Families and employees with a disability gained; however, women gained less than men in the first two categories and gained more than men on the beliefs and values category. These findings highlight areas on which public service organisations need to focus as we enter a COVID‐normal era.Points for practitioners
The benefits and drawbacks of working from home differ according to employee demographics.
Overall, lower level employees and those employed on a casual basis gained less than higher level employees and those employed full time.
Women gained less than men in relation to how work was operationalised and performed.
These differential impacts highlight areas on which public sector organisations need to focus in a COVID‐normal era.
Who are the most highly cited forensic scientists in the United States?
Authors: Jones Alan Wayne 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe most highly cited forensic practitioners in the United States were identified using a publicly available citation database that used six different citation metrics to calculate each person's composite citation score. The publication and citation data were gleaned from Elsevier's SCOPUS database, which contained information about ~7 million scientist each of whom had at least five entries in the database. Each individual was categorized into 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields, one of which was legal and forensic medicine (LFM). The database contained citation records for 13,388 individuals having LFM as their primary research discipline and 282 of these (2%) were classified as being highly cited. Another 99 individuals in the database had LFM as their secondary discipline, making a total of 381 highly cited forensic practitioners from 35 different countries. The career‐long publication records of each individual were compared using their composite citation scores. Of the 381 highly cited scientists, 93 (24%) had an address somewhere in the United States. The various branches of forensics they specialized in were anthropology, criminalistics, DNA/genetics, odontology, pathology, statistics/epidemiology, and toxicology. The two most highly cited scientists, according to their composite citation score, were both specialists in DNA/genetics. Bibliometric methods are widely used for evaluating research performance in academia and a similar approach might be useful in jurisprudence, such as when an expert witness is instructed to testify in court and explain the meaning of scientific evidence.

AbstractDNA barcoding has greatly facilitated studies of taxonomy, biodiversity, biological conservation, and ecology. Here, we establish a reliable DNA barcoding library for Chinese snakes, unveiling hidden diversity with implications for taxonomy, and provide a standardized tool for conservation management. Our comprehensive study includes 1638 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from Chinese snakes that correspond to 17 families, 65 genera, 228 named species (80.6% of named species) and 36 candidate species. A barcode gap analysis reveals gaps, where all nearest neighbour distances exceed maximum intraspecific distances, in 217 named species and all candidate species. Three species‐delimitation methods (ABGD, sGMYC, and sPTP) recover 320 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), of which 192 OTUs correspond to named and candidate species. Twenty‐eight other named species share OTUs, such as Azemiops feae and A. kharini, Gloydius halys, G. shedaoensis, and G. intermedius, and Bungarus multicinctus and B. candidus, representing inconsistencies most probably caused by imperfect taxonomy, recent and rapid speciation, weak taxonomic signal, introgressive hybridization, and/or inadequate phylogenetic signal. In contrast, 43 species and candidate species assign to two or more OTUs due to having large intraspecific distances. If most OTUs detected in this study reflect valid species, including the 36 candidate species, then 30% more species would exist than are currently recognized. Several OTU divergences associate with known biogeographic barriers, such as the Taiwan Strait. In addition to facilitating future studies, this reliable and relatively comprehensive reference database will play an important role in the future monitoring, conservation, and management of Chinese snakes.
Who cares about the UN General Assembly? National delegations size from 1993 to 2016
Authors: Vlcek Vaclav 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe UN General Assembly is the central forum of world politics. While it formally allows the member states to delegate up to five representatives, the size of the national delegations is generally larger and significantly increases over time. In this paper, I explore the size of the national delegations to the General Assembly from 1993 to 2016. Generally, the major powers (USA, Russia) send the biggest delegations. Surprisingly, China sends significantly smaller delegations than it used to before 2008. Big delegations are also sent by some small (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Switzerland) or developing countries (Nigeria, Bangladesh). My analysis shows that national capacities and issue‐specific motivations drive up the delegation size. Although the issue‐specific explanations are relatively rare in UN‐related research (due to the general‐purpose nature of the organisation), I argue that human rights, international security, economic development, and UN governance are the agendas for which states care about the General Assembly.

AbstractNear‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was employed to determine the differences between forage mixtures of winter cereals and Italian ryegrass and to evaluate fermentation characteristics of mixed silages. Forages were harvested on five phases (Cuts 1–5), with 1 week interval (n = 100). The yield of the last harvest (Cut 5) was ensiled and analyzed on four different days (D0, D7, D14, and D90) (n = 80). Principal component analysis based on the NIR data revealed differences according to the days of harvest, differences between winter cereals and Italian ryegrass forages, and differences in the fermentation stages of silages. The partial least square regression models for crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), and ash gave excellent determination coefficient in cross‐validation (R2CV > 0.9), while models for ether extract (EE) and total sugar content were weaker (R2CV = 0.87 and 0.74, respectively). The values of root mean square error of cross‐validation were 0.59, 0.76, 0.22, 0.31, and 2.36 %DM, for CP, CF, EE, ash, and total sugar, respectively. NIR proved to be an efficient tool in evaluating type and growth differences of the winter cereals and Italian ryegrass forage mixtures and the quality changes that occur during ensiling.

AbstractAimsTo estimate the proportions of specific hypometabolic patterns and their association with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in patients with cognitive impairment (CI).MethodsThis multicenter study with 1037 consecutive patients was conducted from December 2012 to December 2019. 18F‐FDG PET and clinical/demographic information, NPS assessments were recorded and analyzed to explore the associations between hypometabolic patterns and clinical features by correlation analysis and multivariable logistic regression models.ResultsPatients with clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD, 81.6%, 605/741) and dementia with Lewy bodies (67.9%, 19/28) mostly had AD‐pattern hypometabolism, and 76/137 (55.5%) of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration showed frontal and anterior temporal pattern (FT‐P) hypometabolism. Besides corticobasal degeneration, patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (36/58), semantic dementia (7/10), progressive non‐fluent aphasia (6/9), frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (3/5), and progressive supranuclear palsy (21/37) also mostly showed FT‐P hypometabolism. The proportion of FT‐P hypometabolism was associated with the presence of hallucinations (R = 0.171, p = 0.04), anxiety (R = 0.182, p = 0.03), and appetite and eating abnormalities (R = 0.200, p = 0.01) in AD.ConclusionSpecific hypometabolic patterns in FDG‐PET are associated with NPS and beneficial for the early identification and management of NPS in patients with CI.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAimsIn this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) on the rate of cognitive decline for both global cognition and specific cognitive domains in a cohort of patients from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).MethodProspectively longitudinal data were obtained from the PPMI cohort. NPS, including depression, anxiety, apathy, psychosis, impulse control disorders (ICDs), and cognition ability, were evaluated by a series of questionnaires. Linear mixed‐effects models were used to investigate the relationship between NPS and the rate of cognitive decline. Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) were used to investigate the relationship between NPS and the occurrence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).ResultsIn total, 423 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) were recruited at baseline and 395, 378, 366, 346, and 315 participants were followed up at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, respectively. Depression, anxiety, apathy, and psychosis were associated with global cognitive decline. Except for those with ICDs, patients with psychosis, depression, anxiety, and apathy were more likely to meet the criteria for MCI. Patients with depression and anxiety showed a progressive decline in four major cognitive domains. Apathy and ICDs were separately associated with a progressive decline in processing speed‐attention and memory, respectively.ConclusionsNeuropsychiatric symptoms, including psychosis, depression, anxiety, and apathy, could be used to predict future cognitive decline in patients with PD.
Assessing abiotic correlations of an indicator species with sympatric riparian birds in a threatened submontane river–forest system using joint species modelling

AbstractAimTo assess the abiotic correlations between indicator species and others in the community. Additionally, we evaluated the importance of environmental variables in driving the co‐occurrence patterns of the coexisting riparian bird species within a threatened aquatic and terrestrial system.LocationSeven classic submontane rivers in riparian ecosystems of the Changbai Mountains in eastern Jilin Province, China, elevation ranging from 351 to 942 m.MethodsJoint species distribution models (JSDMs) were applied to examine the relative importance of abiotic and potential species associations driving the abundance and cooccurrence of bird species along submontane riparian zones. The abiotic factors were examined with a focus on the scaly‐sided Merganser and the coexisting bird species potentially sharing or interacting within the same niche.ResultsWe found that the co‐occurrence patterns of submontane riparian bird species were dominantly driven by numerous positive correlations when incorporating abiotic variables. The scaly‐sided Merganser exhibited the greatest number of correlations with other species and exhibited significant responses to most of the measured environmental variables. Land cover diversity, proportion of gravel bars, and channel width were the most common environmental factors affecting riparian bird species distribution.ConclusionsUsing JSDM, we found that the indicator roles of the scaly‐sided Merganser are mainly derived from shared environmental responses with coexisting riparian bird species; moreover, the composition of submontane riparian bird communities is affected by both environmental variables and potential species associations. Our results verified the central role of the scaly‐sided Merganser as an indicator species in submontane riparian ecosystems due to their strict physical environment preferences and extensive connections with other sympatric riparian bird species, primarily through shared environmental intersections. Our results emphasize the crucial necessity for simultaneously considering environmental predictors and potential species associations in modelling species distributions and to better realizing the roles of indicators in practical applications.
Pity and Justice in Rousseau's Emile: Developing a Concern for the Common Good
Authors: Leung Wing Sze 
Published: March 2023

AbstractScholarly accounts of the training of pity in Jean‐Jacques Rousseau's Emile focus on how Emile's tutor activates the psychological mechanisms necessary for the feeling of pity in book 4 of the text. This account is inadequate, for it fails to show how Emile acquires the evaluative ability to make the judgment about who deserves pity as well as the willingness to adjudicate his own and others' interests. In this article, Wing Sze Leung argues that books 1 through 3 lay the foundation by developing in Emile the attitudes and dispositions that guide him in his judgment‐making about which kind of life he should pursue. Books 4 and 5 then develop Emile's ability to make interpersonal judgments of pity through habituated practice. By gradually cultivating Emile's sensitivity to the potential conflict between his self‐interests and others' well‐being, as well as the resolution to refrain from infringing on others' interests and to pursue the common good, Rousseau's long‐term educational project molds Emile's disposition to act as justice demands. The article concludes with a brief response to some criticisms about Rousseau's educational project.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe assessment of neutrophil dysplasia features in peripheral blood is very helpful for the early screening and diagnosis of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS). Cell population data (CPD) parameters generated by automated hematology analyzers can reflect morphological characteristics of blood cells. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of CPD parameters neutrophil (Neu) X, NeuY and NeuZ in assessing neutrophil dysplasia.Methods218 MDS patients were divided into two subgroups according to neutrophil morphology. The differences of neutrophil research parameters between the two MDS subgroups and the control group, consisting of 210 healthy individuals, were compared, the correlation among neutrophil research parameters and the relationship between these parameters and cell morphology in MDS patients were analyzed, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed.ResultsThe median values of neutrophil research parameters NeuX and NeuZ in MDS with granulocyte dysplasia group were significantly lower than those in MDS without granulocyte dysplasia group and control group (p < 0.001), and they were positively correlated (r = 0.878, p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of NeuX and NeuZ was 0.720 (95% CI: 0.643–0.796, p < 0.001) and 0.738 (95% CI: 0.665–0.811, p < 0.001), respectively. In addition, with the decrease of NeuX value, neutrophils gradually show decreased nuclear segment and/or cytoplasmic granules.ConclusionsCombining NeuX and NeuZ can predict neutrophil dysplasia features of MDS in peripheral blood, and this can be an easier method to screen for the neutrophil dysplasia cases, as compared with the microscopic examination of peripheral blood and/or bone marrow smears.
TCR‐Pred: A new web‐application for prediction of epitope and MHC specificity for CDR3 TCR sequences using molecular fragment descriptors

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe search for the relationships between CDR3 TCR sequences and epitopes or MHC types is a challenging task in modern immunology. We propose a new approach to develop the classification models of structure–activity relationships (SAR) using molecular fragment descriptors MNA (Multilevel Neighbourhoods of Atoms) to represent CDR3 TCR sequences and the naïve Bayes classifier algorithm. We have created the freely available TCR‐Pred web application (http://way2drug.com/TCR-pred/) to predict the interactions between α chain CDR3 TCR sequences and 116 epitopes or 25 MHC types, as well as the interactions between β chain CDR3 TCR sequences and 202 epitopes or 28 MHC types. The TCR‐Pred web application is based on the data (more 250 000 unique CDR3 TCR sequences) from VDJdb, McPAS‐TCR, and IEDB databases and the proposed approach. The average AUC values of the prediction accuracy calculated using a 20‐fold cross‐validation procedure varies from 0.857 to 0.884. The created web application may be useful in studies related with T‐cell profiling based on CDR3 TCR sequences.

AbstractProbiotics are widely used in aquaculture. This article aims to study the effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LSG2‐8 on the intestinal barrier function of Rhynchocypris lagowskii. B. amyloliquefaciens LSG2‐8 were added to R. lagowskii basal diets (CK) as additives at four concentrations: 1.0 × 106 (D‐6), 1.0 × 107 (D‐7), 1.0 × 108 (D‐8) and 1.0 × 109 (D‐9) CFU g−1 by dry weight of basal diet. After a 56‐day feeding experiment, the activities of intestinal digestive enzymes and immunity‐related enzymes of R. lagowskii on group D‐6, D‐7, D‐8 and D‐9 diet were significantly higher than the control (P < 0.05). In molecular experiments, the authors found that the levels of TGF‐β mRNA, IL‐10 mRNA, ZO‐1 mRNA and claudin‐3 mRNA in group D‐8 R. lagowskii were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of the control and other groups. Furthermore, the levels of IL‐1β and IL‐8 mRNA of R. lagowskii on group D‐6, D‐7, D‐8 and D‐9 diet were significantly lower than those of the control (P < 0.05). In addition, the authors found that B. amyloliquefaciens LSG2‐8 can regulate the intestinal flora balance and improve the intestinal structure of R. lagowskii. In conclusion, B. amyloliquefaciens LSG2‐8 can improve the intestinal barrier function of R. lagowskii and can be used as a feed additive in aquaculture.
China's financialized soybeans: The fault lines of neomercantilism narratives in international food regime analyses
Authors: Fares Tomaz Mefano 
Published: March 2023

AbstractNeomercantilism is commonly portrayed as a central mechanism of China's global agribusiness engagement. It implies reordering the international food regime by moving away from financial and trade liberalization and securing stable import supplies and price controls under state support. However, this article raises an alternative interpretation through an empirical‐rich investigation of the prominence of the state‐owned China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO) in the soybean commodity chain. The article draws upon analyses of the Chinese state and international food regime to demonstrate that recent changes in state‐capital relations during the Xi Jinping administration propelled forms of capital accumulation based on financial speculation and shareholder values. I conclude that state‐driven internationalization has placed Chinese agribusiness in an advantageous position within global finance rather than challenging it through agrarian neomercantilist strategies.
