Subjektive Gesundheitskompetenz von Langzeitarbeitslosen – eine qualitative Studie
Authors: Stassen Gerrit , Haaß Karsten , Schaller Andrea 
Published: February 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Arbeitslosigkeit hat vielfältige negative Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit, weswegen besonders langzeitarbeitslose Menschen als gesundheitlich vulnerable und sozial benachteiligte Gruppe gelten. Allgemein wird als ein zentrales Ziel der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung inzwischen die Förderung der Gesundheitskompetenz benannt. Neben quantitativen Daten sind mit Blick vulnerable, benachteiligte Gruppen und z. B. für die Entwicklung zielgruppenspezifischer Maßnahmen weitergehende qualitative Untersuchungen von Interesse. Die vorliegende qualitative Arbeit erhebt dahingehend Beschreibungen der subjektiven Gesundheitskompetenz von Langzeitarbeitslosen.

Methodik
Angelehnt an das integrierte Modell der Gesundheitskompetenz wurden 9 halbstrukturierte, leitfadengestützte Interviews in einer Einrichtung zur Gesundheits- und Beschäftigungsförderung durchgeführt (4 Frauen, 5 Männer; Alter: 55 ± 9 Jahre). Die Auswertung erfolgte nach der Methode der inhaltlich strukturierten Inhaltsanalyse.

Ergebnisse
Während die Interviewten von vielfältigen Quellen zum „Finden von Gesundheitsinformationen“ berichten (medizinisch-gesundheitsbezogener Bereich, soziales Umfeld, Medien), deuten sich in den Stufen „Verstehen“ und „Beurteilen“ Schwierigkeiten an. Mit Blick auf das „Anwenden von Gesundheitsinformationen“ wurden Umsetzungsprobleme bzw. fehlende Umsetzungsstrategien benannt.

Schlussfolgerungen
Während von der Zielgruppe vielfältige gesundheitsbezogene Quellen genutzt, sollte Schwerpunkte in Maßnahmen zur Gesundheitskompetenzförderung weitergehend bei den Themen Verstehen und Beurteilen von Gesundheitsinformationen liegen. Besonders relevant ist die Vermittlung von Strategien zur Umsetzung gesundheitsförderlicher Verhaltensweisen. Eine Stärkung sozialer Netzwerke sollte zudem zur Verknüpfung von Beschäftigungs- und Gesundheitsförderung fokussiert werden.
Effectiveness of engagement initiatives across engagement platforms: A meta-analysis

Published: February 2023

AbstractAs part of their customer engagement (CE) marketing, firms use different platforms to interact with customers, in ways that go beyond purchases. Task-based CE strategies call for customers’ participation in structured, often incentivized tasks; experiential CE initiatives instead aim to stimulate pleasurable experiences for customers. But the optimal uses of these two strategies, in terms of improving customer engagement to produce more positive marketing outcomes, are unclear. With a meta-analysis and data from 395 samples, pertaining to 434,233 customers, the present study develops and tests a unifying framework of how to optimize investments in both two engagement strategies across different engagement platforms. On average, task-based initiatives are more effective in driving customer engagement, but the effects depend on the platform. If platforms support continuous or lean interactions, task-based initiatives are more effective; on platforms that encourage spot interactions, experiential initiatives are preferable. Three customer engagement dimensions (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral) in turn lead to positive marketing outcomes, though in ways that depend on the platforms’ interaction characteristics (intensity, richness, initiation) and differ across digital versus physical platforms. These results provide clear guidance for managers regarding how to plan their CE marketing activities to benefit both their firms and their customers.

AbstractThe 92/43/EEC Habitats Directive is the main European Union legal tool concerning nature conservation. The habitat types listed in Annex I to the Directive are phytosociology-based. It is widely acknowledged that phytosociological analysis is a crucial approach for habitats characterization and for monitoring their conservation status. Based on bibliographic investigations and new field survey campaigns, a list of habitat types neglected by the Habitats Directive is here presented and described for southern Italy. In this paper, 8 new habitat types and 13 subtypes are proposed. For each of these proposed new habitat types, a wide range of information, including ecology, chorology, species composition, syntaxonomy, threats, and conservation status, is here provided. To supply more detailed phytogeographical and coenological information about the proposed new habitat types, distribution maps based on 10 × 10 km reference grids and phytosociological tables including unpublished relevés were carried out.
Horofunction Compactifications and Duality
Authors: Lemmens Bas , Power Kieran 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe study the global topology and geometry of the horofunction compactification of classes of symmetric spaces under Finsler distances in three settings: bounded symmetric domains of the form$$B=B_1\times \cdots \times B_r$$B=B1×⋯×Br, where$$B_i$$Biis an open Euclidean ball in$${\mathbb {C}}^{n_i}$$Cni, with the Kobayashi distance, symmetric cones with the Hilbert distance, and Euclidean Jordan algebras with the spectral norm. For these spaces we show, that the horofunction compactification is naturally homeomorphic to the closed unit ball of the dual norm of the Finsler metric in the tangent space at the basepoint. In each case we give an explicit homeomorphism. For finite dimensional normed spaces the link between the geometry of the horofunction compactification and the dual unit ball was suggested by Kapovich and Leeb, which we confirm for Euclidean Jordan algebras with the spectral norm. Our results also show that this duality phenomenon not only occurs in normed spaces, but also in a variety of noncompact type symmetric spaces with invariant Finsler metrics.

AbstractSince tumor stroma poses as a barrier to achieve efficacy of nanomedicines, it is essential to evaluate nano-chemotherapeutics in stroma-mimicking 3D models that reliably predict their behavior regarding these hurdles limiting efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the effect of paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelles (PTX-PMCs) and polymeric nanoparticles (PTX-PNPs) in a tumor stroma–mimicking 3D in vitro model. PTX-PMCs (77 nm) based on a amphiphilic block copolymer of mPEG-b-p(HPMAm-Bz) and PTX-PNPs (159 nm) based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) were prepared, which had an encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 81 ± 15% and 45 ± 8%, respectively. 3D homospheroids of mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells and heterospheroids of NIH3T3 fibroblasts and 4T1 (5:1 ratio) were prepared and characterized with high content two-photon microscopy and immunostaining. Data showed an induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (α-SMA) in both homo- and heterospheroids, while ECM (collagen) deposition only in heterospheroids. Two-photon imaging revealed that both fluorescently labeled PMCs and PNPs penetrated into the core of homospheroids and only PMCs penetrated into heterospheroids. Furthermore, PTX-PMCs, PTX-PNPs, and free PTX induced cytotoxicity in tumor cells and fibroblasts grown as monolayer, but these effects were substantially reduced in 3D models, in particular in heterospheroids. Gene expression analysis showed that heterospheroids had a significant increase of drug resistance markers (Bcl2, Abgc2) compared to 2D or 3D monocultures. Altogether, this study shows that the efficacy of nanotherapeutics is challenged by stroma-induced poor penetration and development of resistant phenotype. Therefore, this tumor stroma–mimicking 3D model can provide an excellent platform to study penetration and effects of nanotherapeutics before in vivo studies.

Abstract
Genomic tools are now commonly used to assess the genetic diversity and genetic structure of species and populations, and they provide the ability to describe and address the negative effects of population declines and fragmentation. However, such studies are lacking for arboreal mammals despite their contribution to various ecosystem services, especially in uncommon and critically endangered ecosystems such as cloud forests. The aim of this work was to evaluate and compare the genetic diversity and population structure of two endemic arboreal mice from Mexican cloud forests that are associated with areas with different levels of impacts from human activities. We performed genotyping-by-sequencing in 47 Habromys schmidlyi and 17 Reithrodontomys wagneri individuals to evaluate genetic diversity and differentiation. In both species, the genetic diversity was low compared to other cricetid species, and we observed different population structure patterns, potentially linked to the different ecological associations. We detected two genetic groups in H. schmidlyi, that is a territorial species present in areas of low incline, while a single genetic group was found in R. wagneri, which forms family groups in areas with steep slopes. Overall, these results highlight how species’ genetic diversity can be differentially impacted depending on differential ecological associations within the same ecosystem. This information is essential for the development of the adequate conservation and management of these species.
Managerial decisions and new product development in the circular economy model enterprise: absorptive capacity and a mediating role of strategic orientation

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe study explains the flow of knowledge in the circular economy model enterprises. We analyze the impact of managerial decisions on the absorptive capacity, which is new product development, considering the role of critical elements of strategic orientation (innovation and costs) in the textile industry. Based on the verification of hypotheses by employing the SEM method, innovation orientation is a mediator between adaptability-oriented decisions and transformation, and between adaptability-oriented decisions and exploitation. Ambidexterity-oriented decisions affect absorptive capacity. These findings semanticize and extend previous research, indicating that strategic activities focused on eco-innovations are transformed into the process of creating a new product.
Climate policy and the concept of co-benefits in India
Authors: Stahlke Theresa 
Published: February 2023

AbstractUntil the late 1990s, developing countries had perceived the pursuit of development as coming into conflict with the mitigation of climate change. Research showed that mitigation and development can go hand in hand, giving rise to the co-benefits approach. In this paper, the relationship between aiming for development and aiming for climate change mitigation is analyzed from the perspective of the developing country India. While industrialized countries prefer the approach of co-benefits of mitigation, developing countries tend to follow the development-first paradigm with mitigation co-benefits, as a literature and document study show. India had a long way to come from the notion that mitigation was threatening economic growth to adopting the co-benefits approach. The paradigms of “differentiated responsibilities” and of having a right to emit as much as the industrialized countries are deeply rooted. This is also shown by India’s reaction to the current economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis work presents the design and fabrication of a simple device for manufacturing metal foams and composites using infiltration. The particularities of the operation of this device are also included here, detailing examples of materials manufactured using it. This device was thought to produce composites and foams using matrices from low to medium melting points (e.g., from Mg to Cu alloys), limited to ~1200 °C. It can be used to produce samples large enough for their study and characterization, being cheaper than other devices reported in literature. Foams and composites of different sizes can be manufactured depending on the dimensions of the device, which can be modified according to the necessities. As examples, cylindrical (10 cm height and 5 cm in diameter) samples were manufactured infiltrating Al and Cu alloys on NaCl, NaCl-Al2O3 spheres mixture, and iron hollow spheres, for manufacturing respectively conventional, composite and syntactic foams. These materials were analyzed through Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopies (OM and SEM, respectively), and compression tests. Their densities and porosities were also measured. The analysis of the obtained materials revealed that following the correct experimental conditions, composites and foams without defects can be manufactured using this device. Different porosity and reinforcement percentages were obtained under these conditions, with the expected mechanical behaviors of such materials.

Systematic Review of Procedures and Outcomes of Choice-Based Interventions with Children
Authors: Kestner Kathryn M. , Finch Kacey R. , Kolb Rebecca L. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn behavior-analytic clinical work and research, opportunities for choice can be arranged as an independent variable, and response allocation among choice options can be measured as a dependent variable (i.e., engaging in one response given two or more concurrently available options). Choice-based interventions provide behavior analysts with tools to promote their clients’ rights to autonomy and self-determination by incorporating client preference. The purpose of the current article is to systematically review the literature published from 2003 to 2020 on choice-based interventions with children. We reviewed 32 articles (38 experiments) identified through ERIC, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE/PubMed, and we summarized the participant and study characteristics arranged into two categories by procedure: (1) differential reinforcement with asymmetrical-choice options; and (2) building choice opportunities into daily contexts. We provide suggestions for clinical applications of choice to intervention procedures and future research. The reviewed literature demonstrates how practitioners working with children can use choice-based interventions to incorporate consumer choice into clinical practice while effectively addressing versatile clinical goals across populations and settings.
An optimal System of Lie Subalgebras and Group-Invariant Solutions with Conserved Currents of a (3+1)-D Fifth-Order Nonlinear Model I with Applications in Electrical Electronics, Chemical Engineering and Pharmacy
Authors: Adeyemo Oke Davies , Khalique Chaudry Masood 
Published: February 2023

AbstractHigher-dimensional nonlinear integrable partial differential equations are significant as they often describe diverse phenomena in nonlinear systems like laser radiations in a plasma, optical pulses in the glass fibres, fluid mechanics, radio waves in the ion sphere, condensed matter and electromagnetics. This article shows an analytical investigation of a (3+1)-dimensional fifth-order nonlinear model with KdV forming its main part. Lie group analysis of the model is performed through which its infinitesimal generators are obtained. These generators are engaged in the construction of an optimal system of Lie subalgebra in one dimension. Moreover, members of the system secured are utilized in reducing the underlying model to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for possible exact solutions. In consequence, we achieve various functions, ranging from trigonometric, logarithmic, rational, to hyperbolic. In addition, the results found constitute diverse solitonic solutions such as complex, topological kink and anti-kink, trigonometric and bright. We utilize the power series technique to obtain a series solution of the most complicated ordinary differential equation with forty-four terms. In addition, we reveal the dynamics of these solutions via graphical depictions. In the end, we constructed conserved currents of the underlying equation through the use of the multiplier technique. Further, we utilize the optimal system of the underlying model to derive more conserved vectors using Ibragimov’s theorem for conservation laws.
The Net Benefits and Residual Cost from U.S. Border Management of the Initially Inadmissible
Authors: Farrow Scott 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBorder management is a government activity affecting immigration and the economy. Benefit–cost and equivalent decision analyses are used to evaluate U.S. border management for 2017. Controversial issues arise. Among these are the issue of standing and the values of asylum, a criminal career, child custodial care, foreign deaths, fiscal and labor market effects, and distributional weighting. Sixteen unique shadow prices (imputed marginal value) are computed. Those shadow pries are combined with proportions and levels of border management outcomes. The aggregate result is not only a large expected present value net benefit per year from managed outcomes of $46.6 billion but also a large residual unmanaged annual cost of $23.7 billion. Significant uncertainty exists, but estimated net benefits remain positive.
Institutional Development in Main Colombian Cities: What Is Its Relation to Subjective Poverty?
Authors: Niño-Muñoz Diana 
Published: February 2023

AbstractSince a peace treaty in 2016, Colombia has faced a significant challenge to reduce poverty and strengthen its institutions. A few studies have analyzed the relationship between institutions and subjective poverty, but none has demonstrated this influence in the Colombian context at a municipal level. This article estimated a logit regression including a cluster effect to evidence the influence of municipal institutions over perceptions of poverty by the inhabitants of twelve main cities in Colombia in 2016. Findings include that having a better rule of law and fiscal performance, reducing political fragmentation to have better governance, guaranteeing property rights, fostering the benefits of metropolitan areas, and improving citizen participation reduce the probability of feeling poor.
R&D finance and economic growth: a Schumpeterian model with endogenous financial structures
Authors: Shaw Ming-fu , Chang Juin-jen , Lai Ching-chong 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe endogenize the R&D financial structure and investigate the effects of tax policy (dividend, corporate, and bond income taxes). Agency costs exist between the supply of and demand for funding, which enable the financial market to reshuffle loanable funds out of less productive firms toward others with greater productivity. We show that the financial structure-growth relationship is not monotonic, depending on the relative productivity between the existing and new firms and the allocation of loanable funds between them. The allocation of loanable funds, rather than their market amount, plays a key role in determining the effects of policy.
Molecular characterization of Brassica genebank germplasm confirms taxonomic identity and reveals low levels and source of taxonomic errors
Authors: Steadman Erica M. , Whitehouse Katherine J. , Norton Sally L. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCrop germplasm conserved in genebanks, are a fundamental resource of genetic diversity for crop improvement activities, underpinning future food security and sustainable agricultural practices. However, taxonomic errors in genebank germplasm (due to misclassification, contamination and poor data collation) restrict the effective use of this material for correct purpose. Earlier studies investigating species genetic diversity using genebank germplasm, have shown varying levels of taxonomic error within the Brassica species. In response to this reported taxonomic error of global collections, together with the availability of a multiplex PCR (MPCR) marker, targeting the specific chromosomes (A, B and C) of the six Brassica species in U's triangle, this study was undertaken to confirm the taxonomic identity of accessions within the Australian Grains Genebank's (AGG) long-term Brassica collection. A total of 5161 accessions were analysed with MPCR for taxonomic identification, of which, 4842 (93.8%) were confirmed to be consistent (correct) with their labelled taxonomy, while the remaining 319 (6.2%) were identified as taxonomically inconsistent (in-error). Through the evaluation of earlier regeneration and original seed of the error accessions with MPCR, we determined that 80.9% of the taxonomic errors were traced back to the original seed, while 19.1% of errors were the result of genebank seed regeneration handling practices. Results from this study directly enhance information of the AGG Brassica collection and shape directions for distribution, acquisition and regeneration practices within the AGG and potentially other global genebanks, which will facilitate in a more effective use of these valuable genetic resources by researchers and breeders.
