Examining discrimination in asynchronous video interviews: Does cultural distance based on country‐of‐origin matter?
Authors: Arseneault René , Roulin Nicolas 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe conducted two studies to investigate how cultural differences based on country of origin influence the selection process in an asynchronous video interview (AVI) context. We drew upon the GLOBE cultural value dimensions and individual measures of prejudice to examine if raters evaluate job applicants who are more culturally dissimilar to them more negatively than culturally similar applicants. Professionals with hiring experience from the United Kingdom were recruited via the Prolific platform and asked to watch and evaluate pre‐recorded video responses from five culturally diverse applicants. Results across both studies were only somewhat consistent with the GLOBE framework. For instance, raters did demonstrate a strong preference for Canadian and South African interviewees over other countries. Right‐wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation were non‐significant in moderating how evaluations were assigned; however, ethnocentrism levels did modestly impact evaluations in Study 2. This research is the first to investigate how cultural factors can impact the selection process in an AVI context. As the number of organizations that rely on virtual interviews increases and globalization makes it likely for applicants and interviewers to be from different cultural backgrounds, our research is highly relevant in understanding the impact of these elements on hiring decisions.
The effect of emotional support on postpartum depression among postpartum mothers in Asia: A systematic review
Authors: Low Su Rou , Bono Suzanna Awang , Azmi Zaireeni 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIntroductionPostpartum depression (PPD) is a chronic mood illness that typically develops in the first few months after giving birth. It affects 17.2% of women worldwide, and its deleterious consequences on infants, children, and mothers have elicited global public concern. Therefore, this paper aims to present an overview of the relationship between emotional support and PPD among postpartum mothers in the Asia region.MethodsAn extensive search using various keywords was conducted in Science Direct, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, JSTOR, Springer Link, and Taylor Francis. The screening process was compliant with the PRISMA guideline, while the quality of the selected studies was assessed using the QuADS tool.ResultsThe analysis included 15 research from 12 different countries with 6031 postpartum mothers. A decreased risk of PPD for postpartum mothers is shown to be significantly correlated with greater emotional support, and vice versa.DiscussionAsian women are less likely to seek emotional assistance than other mothers, which is influenced by culture. There needs to be more research on the impact of culture on postpartum mothers' emotional support. Additionally, this review hopes to raise awareness among the mothers' friends and family as well as the medical community to be more attentive to postpartum mothers' emotional needs and offer specialized assistance.

ABSTRACTUrban ecology is a rapidly growing research field that has to keep pace with the pressing need to tackle the sustainability crisis. As an inherently multi‐disciplinary field with close ties to practitioners and administrators, research synthesis and knowledge transfer between those different stakeholders is crucial. Knowledge maps can enhance knowledge transfer and provide orientation to researchers as well as practitioners. A promising option for developing such knowledge maps is to create hypothesis networks, which structure existing hypotheses and aggregate them according to topics and research aims. Combining expert knowledge with information from the literature, we here identify 62 research hypotheses used in urban ecology and link them in such a network. Our network clusters hypotheses into four distinct themes: (i) Urban species traits & evolution, (ii) Urban biotic communities, (iii) Urban habitats and (iv) Urban ecosystems. We discuss the potentials and limitations of this approach. All information is openly provided as part of an extendable Wikidata project, and we invite researchers, practitioners and others interested in urban ecology to contribute additional hypotheses, as well as comment and add to the existing ones. The hypothesis network and Wikidata project form a first step towards a knowledge base for urban ecology, which can be expanded and curated to benefit both practitioners and researchers.
Exploring strategies for re‐engaging children and young people in learning while living in out‐of‐home care in the Northern Territory, Australia

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe education of children living in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) has been a long‐standing concern for children and their carers, policy‐makers and researchers who have long highlighted the issue of low educational attainment and disengagement among children in care. This study investigates the strategies and practices used within a pilot programme based in the Northern Territory, Australia, that aims to re‐engage children living in OOHC with education and training. Drawing on qualitative interviews with programme stakeholders, including educators, carers, child and family welfare workers, as well as an analysis of programme and client documentation, this study explores the programme's strategies to achieve re‐engagement. The findings highlight the role of agile child‐centred practice responding to the learning needs of participants, a focus on the ‘educational futures’ of students, as well as liaison and advocacy with schools and stakeholders on behalf of children in supporting re‐engagement in education settings. Barriers to successful re‐engagement include limited consideration of the cultural needs of children across education and OOHC systems, in particular the disruptive impact of OOHC placement changes, as well as programme discontinuity.
Adversarial Interactive Cartoon Sketch Colourization with Texture Constraint and Auxiliary Auto‐Encoder
Authors: Liu Xiaoyu , Zhu Shaoqiang , Zeng Yao , Zhang Junsong 
Published: April 2023

AbstractColouring cartoon sketches can help children develop their intellect and inspire their artistic creativity. Unlike photo colourization or anime line art colourization, cartoon sketch colourization is challenging due to the scarcity of texture information and the irregularity of the line structure, which is mainly reflected in the phenomenon of colour‐bleeding artifacts in generated images. We propose a colourization approach for cartoon sketches, which takes both sketches and colour hints as inputs to produce impressive images. To solve the problem of colour‐bleeding artifacts, we propose a multi‐discriminator colourization framework that introduces a texture discriminator in the conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). Then we combined this framework with a pre‐trained auxiliary auto‐encoder, where an auxiliary feature loss is designed to further improve colour quality, and a condition input is introduced to increase the generalization ability over hand‐drawn sketches. We present both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, which prove the effectiveness of our proposed method. We test our method on sketches of varying complexity and structure, then build an interactive programme based on our model for user study. Experimental results demonstrate that the method generates natural and consistent colour images in real time from sketches drawn by non‐professionals.
Child‐safeorganizations and the ethics of empowered inclusion
Authors: Graham Anne , Canosa Antonia , Wall John , Thomas Patrick 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe emergence of the ‘child‐safe’ organization requires close attention to practices that contribute to children's wellbeing and safety. Based on data collected in schools, residential care and disability services, this article argues for a more nuanced understanding of the ethical frameworks informing practice in these settings. Findings suggest both young people and adults predominantly describe ethical practice in terms of intersubjective relations. This ethical relationality is understood, less in terms of vertical responsibilities of care (largely the domain of adults and shaped by institutional norms), and more in terms of vertical and horizontal (interpersonal) relations, giving way to more empowered inclusion.
The importance of political selection for bureaucratic effectiveness
Authors: Habyarimana James , Khemani Stuti , Scot Thiago 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBureaucratic effectiveness has come to the fore in research as necessary for economic growth and development. This paper contributes empirical evidence to understand the building blocks of bureaucracy by gathering rich survey data in a typical institutional environment of the developing world. The data reveal a robust correlation between the selection of local politicians and bureaucratic effectiveness. In districts in Uganda where locally elected politicians have higher survey‐based measures of integrity (or honesty), the bureaucracy is more effective in delivering public heath services. This evidence supports current research, and encourages future research on how the selection of political agents into government is an important determinant of bureaucratic effectiveness.

Published: April 2023

AbstractLipoxin A4 (LXA4) has been identified as the braking signal of inflammation, but the specific role of LXA4 in regulating the regenerative potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether and, if so, how LXA4 improves the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced inflammatory environment. We detected the effects of LXA4 on the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in vitro and explored the bone regenerative potential of LXA4‐treated inflammatory PDLSCs in vivo using a calvarial critical sized defect model in male rats. RNA sequencing, real‐time PCR and western blot were performed to elucidate the relevant potential mechanisms. Results showed that LXA4 promoted the proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in vitro, and effectively improved the impaired osteogenic capacity of PDLSCs induced by LPS both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, LXA4 significantly promoted the PI3K/AKT phosphorylation under inflammatory conditions. Additionally, LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) blocked the effect of LXA4, suggesting that the PI3K/AKT pathway is a key signaling pathway that mediates the effect of LXA4 on the osteogenesis of inflammatory PDLSCs. These findings indicate LXA4 may be a promising strategy for periodontal regeneration using inflammatory PDLSCs.

AbstractObjectivePosttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) develops in as many as one third of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, often years after injury. Analysis of early electroencephalographic (EEG) features, by both standardized visual interpretation (viEEG) and quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis, may aid early identification of patients at high risk for PTE.MethodsWe performed a case–control study using a prospective database of severe TBI patients treated at a single center from 2011 to 2018. We identified patients who survived 2 years postinjury and matched patients with PTE to those without using age and admission Glasgow Coma Scale score. A neuropsychologist recorded outcomes at 1 year using the Expanded Glasgow Outcomes Scale (GOSE). All patients underwent continuous EEG for 3–5 days. A board‐certified epileptologist, blinded to outcomes, described viEEG features using standardized descriptions. We extracted 14 qEEG features from an early 5‐min epoch, described them using qualitative statistics, then developed two multivariable models to predict long‐term risk of PTE (random forest and logistic regression).ResultsWe identified 27 patients with and 35 without PTE. GOSE scores were similar at 1 year (p = .93). The median time to onset of PTE was 7.2 months posttrauma (interquartile range = 2.2–22.2 months). None of the viEEG features was different between the groups. On qEEG, the PTE cohort had higher spectral power in the delta frequencies, more power variance in the delta and theta frequencies, and higher peak envelope (allp < .01). Using random forest, combining qEEG and clinical features produced an area under the curve of .76. Using logistic regression, increases in the delta:theta power ratio (odds ratio [OR] = 1.3,p < .01) and peak envelope (OR = 1.1,p < .01) predicted risk for PTE.SignificanceIn a cohort of severe TBI patients, acute phase EEG features may predict PTE. Predictive models, as applied to this study, may help identify patients at high risk for PTE, assist early clinical management, and guide patient selection for clinical trials.
Application of Miller yield criterion to develop a unified fatigue law of asphalt mixture for different loading modes
Authors: Yuan Jiang , Lv Songtao , Cheng Huailei , Peng Xinghai 
Published: April 2023

AbstractFatigue performance of asphalt mixture has been tested through different types of loading modes, including the uniaxial tension (UT), uniaxial compression (UC), and indirect tension (IDT) modes. However, fatigue test results from different modes are found to be dissimilar. This research aimed to develop a unique fatigue law suitable for different loading modes, using the Miller yield criterion. First, the strength and fatigue behaviors of asphalt mixture under UT, UC, and IDT modes were compared and discussed. Then, the strength yield surfaces and stress paths were obtained by the Miller yield criterion. Finally, a new stress ratio indicator was proposed to generate a unified fatigue law of asphalt mixtures that are suitable for different loading modes. The findings in this research are expected to provide references for deriving the fundamental fatigue damage law for the asphalt mixture based on the strength yield criterion.

Published: April 2023

AimIn Japan, a 24‐item mealtime observation checklist (MOCL) was developed in 2015 to support oral intake and prevent aspiration in older adults. The MOCL consists of signs/symptoms/conditions that reflect eating and swallowing functions and oral conditions. This study aimed to examine the association between each MOCL item and the onset of aspiration pneumonia (AP).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 199 older adults with difficulties in oral intake residing in four long‐term care facilities. The association between the time to the onset of AP (6 months follow‐up) and each MOCL item was examined using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsThe median (25th, 75th percentiles) age of the participants was 87 (82, 91.5) years; 131 (65.8%) were women; and 24 developed AP during the study period. After adjusting for the characteristics of participants, six items were significantly associated with the onset of AP: “Has difficulty maintaining a sitting position” (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.37–7.88), “Sleep while eating” (HR = 3.45, 95% CI: 1.12–10.59), “Has difficulty starting to eat, frequently interrupts eating even after starting to eat, and has difficulty concentrating on eating” (HR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.10–5.72), “Has fatigue because additional time is needed to eat” (HR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.32–7.20), “Dry mouth” (HR = 2.84, 95% CI: 1.21–6.67), and “Assisted feeding is required” (HR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.21–6.93).ConclusionsOf the 24 items on the MOCL, we found six items that might contribute to screening older adults at a high risk of AP onset.

Chemical composition, lipid peroxidation and in vitro ruminal fermentation of crown vetch (Coronilla varia L.) herbage and silage
Authors: Kara Kanber 
Published: April 2023

AbstractCrown vetch (Coronilla varia L.) is a widely spread legume species that can be used as a forage crop for herbivores. The crown vetch herbage was ensiled with 0, 4, or 8% of crushed barley grain on a wet basis. The crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber in organic matter (NDFom) contents of crown vetch herbage were higher than those of crown vetch silages (p < .05). The malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations of herbage and silages with barley grain were lower than that of silage without barley grain (p < .05). The linoleic acid (C18:2) percentage of total fatty acids in forage decreased with the ensiling process (p < .05). The addition of crushed barley grain in the ensiling process of crown vetch herbage preserved the α‐linolenic acid (C18:3) percentage of total fatty acids (p < .05). The crushed barley grain positively affected dry matter (DM) and ammonia‐nitrogen levels, acidity value (pH and lactic, acetic and propionic acids) and in vitro ruminal fermentation values (cumulative gas production, metabolic energy [ME], net energy lactation [NEL] and organic matter digestion [OMd]) of crown vetch silage (p < .05). The concentration of volatile fatty acids (acetic, butyric, propionic, iso‐valeric and iso‐butyric acids) in the in vitro ruminal fermentation fluid was similar in herbage and silages of crown vetch (p > .05). Consequently, crushed barley grain (especially 4% rate) in the ensiling process of crown vetch increased hemicellulose, easily digestible carbohydrates, linoleic acid, α‐linolenic acid in silage and in vitro ruminal digestion parameters, positively affected silage acidity and decreased lipid peroxidation.
Masstige consumption, brand happiness, and brand advocacy: A service perspective
Authors: Purohit Sonal , Arora Vibha , Radia Karan Nilesh 
Published: April 2023

AbstractDespite the call in literature, the masstige brands in the service industry remain unexplored exposing an important literature gap. This study employed the masstige theory to explore and conceptualize luxury service brands. An initial pre‐test study was used to identify the masstige brands in the service category. Study 2 comprised a quantitative survey on 358 identified masstige brand users for two purposes: (i) To determine the masstige mean scores of the specified brands. (ii) To examine the association between masstige consumption, brand happiness, and brand advocacy for masstige brands in the tourism and airline category. It was found that service masstige brand consumption does influence brand happiness, which further affects consumers' brand advocacy. Further, the masstige consumption and brand happiness relation was moderated by internal motivations but not external motivations. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

AbstractBackgroundThe detection of subclinical margin in lentigo maligna/lentigo maligna melanoma (LM/LMM) can be challenging for the dermatologist. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables to observe in vivo atypical melanocytes beyond the clinical margins. The aim of this study is to establish which of these methods (clinical examination and dermoscopy versus “Paper tape – RCM”) is more precise to define the lesion margin and to reduce the number of re‐intervention and overtreatments in cosmetically sensitive areas.MethodsFifty‐seven cases of LM/LMM were analyzed during 2016–2022. Pre‐surgical mapping procedures in 32 lesions were effectuated with dermatoscopy. Furthermore, pre‐surgical mapping procedures in 25 lesions were effectuated with RCM and paper tape.ResultsRCM method's accuracy to detect subclinical margins was 92.0%. In 24 of 25 cases, the lesions were excised completely during the first intervention. In 20 of 32 cases analyzed with dermoscopy, a second surgical intervention was effectuated.ConclusionThe RCM paper method allows us to delineate subclinical margin more accurately and reduce overtreatment, especially in sensitive areas, such as the face and neck.

Published: April 2023

SummaryThe quality of essential oils (EOs) was dependent on the optimised methods of drying. The highest yield of EOs was noted in plants elicited with 0.1% yeast extract (YE) and dried with the traditional method (1.4 mL 100 g dw−1); it was over twice as high as the yield of the control sample (0.58 mL 100 g dw−1). (Z)‐ligustilide, α‐terpinyl acetate and β‐phellandrene were the main compounds identified in the samples. The most effective antioxidant activity was exhibited by the sample obtained from plants elicited with 0.1% YE and subjected to freeze‐drying. The highest RP and LPO inhibition were determined in samples obtained from plants subjected to jasmonic acid (JA) elicitation and freeze‐drying (1.85 and 1.02 μL mL−1 respectively). The use of 0.1% JA and microwave‐drying was the most effective for inhibition of LOXI activity. The highest acetylcholinesterase inhibition was noted in the freeze‐dried sample obtained from plants elicited with YE (86.39 kIU mL−1). The samples exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes BBA‐2660.
