Why and How Manager Promotive and Preventive Psychological Ownership Influence Voice Endorsement
Authors: Duan Jinyun , Wang Xiaotian , Xu Yue , Shi Lixiaoyun 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIntegrating the literature on psychological ownership (PO) and regulatory focus theory, this study explores why and how two distinct forms of managers’ PO (i.e. promotive and preventive) towards the group they supervised influence voice endorsement. Results from a time‐lagged field study and an experimental scenario study reveal that managers’ promotive PO is positively related to voice endorsement through openness to group change, and that preventive PO is negatively related to voice endorsement through openness to group change. Moreover, the group promotive voice strengthens the positive indirect effect of managers’ promotive PO towards their group on voice endorsement via openness to group change, whereas the group prohibitive voice strengthens the negative indirect effect of managers’ preventive PO towards their group on voice endorsement via openness to group change. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
The “STICKINESS” of stigma: Guilt by association after a friend's arrest
Authors: Tinney Erin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPrior research has examined the consequences of one's police contact, but the consequences of vicarious police contact are not as well known. This study expands on labeling theory and the concept of “stickiness” by assessing whether a friend's arrest increases the likelihood of one's police contact. Using a sample of rural youth (N = 13,170), I find that a friend's arrest is associated with an increase in the likelihood of one's first arrest the next year after accounting for other predictors of police contact. Based on my theoretical framework, I interpret this finding as “guilt by association.” In addition, ending relationships with friends who have been arrested does not significantly impact this relationship. This study concludes that police contact may be harmful for a youth's social network and builds on the concept of stickiness by suggesting that stigma not only sticks from one individual to another but may also stay despite efforts to end one's association with the arrested individual. The study expands on preexisting research on the consequences of adolescent police contact by introducing a friend's police contact as a way in which an individual may be more likely to become involved in the justice system.
Do women empower other women? Empirical evidence of the effect of female pervasiveness on firm risk‐taking
Authors: Ciappei Camilla , Terzani Simone , Bafundi Andrea , Liberatore Giovanni 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between female pervasiveness within the entire company and firm‐risk taking. We exploit The UK Equality Act (2010), further enforced in 2017, which was made mandatory for firms operating in UK to disclose their gender pay gap. We use this measure to proxy female pervasiveness and we find it to be negatively associated with firm risk‐taking. These results are robust to several tests using female participation in each pay quartile and the difference in bonus payments between men and women. Our findings provide insights into the role played by women consistent with tokenism theory predictions.
Reconsidering the vignette as method
Authors: Demetriou Olga 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWhen ethnography is used in fields outside anthropology, vignettes often take a central role. Yet methodological discussions of the vignette are not as central to anthropology as their cross‐disciplinary use might warrant. By dwelling on, but perhaps less stringently guarding, disciplinary boundaries, anthropology can gain a clearer view of its own central tools—in this case, vignettes. Reconsidering these tools holds particular relevance for work on refugee studies, an inherently interdisciplinary field that anthropology has had a key role in shaping. Artistic works focused on refugees are considered here from a meta‐ethnographic perspective that pays attention to the processes through which a specific series of artworks were produced alongside their content. Central to this analysis is the role of the vignette in the artist's presentation of her work, which enables an inquiry into the double role of the vignette as both method and presentation in anthropology.
Comparison of the Aotearoa New Zealand Early Warning Score and National Early Warning Score to predict adverse inpatient events in a vital sign dataset

SummaryAotearoa New Zealand uses a single early warning score (EWS) across all public and private hospitals to detect adult inpatient physiological deterioration. This combines the aggregate weighted scoring of the UK National Early Warning Score with single parameter activation from Australian medical emergency team systems. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a large vital sign dataset to validate the predictive performance of the New Zealand EWS in discriminating between patients at risk of serious adverse events and compared this with the UK EWS. We also compared predictive performance for patients admitted under medical vs. surgical specialties. A total of 1,738,787 aggregate scores (13,910,296 individual vital signs) were obtained from 102,394 hospital admissions to six hospitals within the Canterbury District Health Board of New Zealand's South Island. Predictive performance of each scoring system was determined using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Analysis showed that the New Zealand EWS is equivalent to the UK EWS in predicting patients at risk of serious adverse events (cardiac arrest, death and/or unanticipated ICU admission). Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for both EWSs for any adverse outcome was 0.874 (95%CI 0.871–0.878) and 0.874 (95%CI 0.870–0.877), respectively. Both EWSs showed superior predictive value for cardiac arrest and/or death in patients admitted under surgical rather than medical specialties. Our study is the first validation of the New Zealand EWS in predicting serious adverse events in a broad dataset and supports previous work showing the UK EWS has superior predictive performance in surgical rather than medical patients.
Can the response to dialysis treatment be predicted by using patient‐specific modeling of fluid and solute exchanges? A multicentric evaluation
Authors: Balsamello Carlo , Rombolà Giuseppe , Costantino Maria Laura , Casagrande Giustina 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundParametric multipool kinetic models were used to describe the intradialytic trends of electrolytes, breakdown products, and body fluids volumes during hemodialysis. Therapy customization can be achieved by the identification of parameters, allowing patient‐specific modulation of mass and fluid balance across dialyzer, capillary, and cell membranes. This study wants to evaluate the possibility to use this approach to predict the patient's intradialytic response.Methods6 sessions of 68 patients (DialysIS© project) were considered. Data from the first three sessions were used to train the model, identifying the patient‐specific parameters, that, together with the treatment settings and the patient's data at the session start, could be used for predicting the patient's specific time course of solutes and fluids along the sessions. Na+, K+, Cl−, Ca2+, HCO3−, and urea plasmatic concentrations and hematic volume deviations from clinical data were evaluated.ResultsnRMSE predictive error is on average equal to 4.76% when describing the training sessions, and only increases by 0.97 percentage points on average in independent sessions of the same patient.ConclusionsThe proposed predictive approach represents a first step in the development of tools to support the clinician in tailoring the patient's prescription.

AbstractMammary glands with mastitis are usually treated with antibiotics in combination with anti‐inflammatory drug application on the udder skin. Menthol is an anti‐inflammatory drug. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of surface application of menthol on goat udders on the production of antimicrobial components in milk. Goats (5 Shiba and 11 Tokara goats) were subjected to menthol application to the udder under both healthy and inflammatory conditions. An intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharides was carried out to induce inflammatory conditions in the udder. Milk samples were collected to determine somatic cell count (SCC) and sodium ion (Na+), antimicrobial component and cytokine concentrations. In healthy udders, menthol application increased the concentration of antimicrobial components (S100A7 and S100A8), but not in the control. In the inflamed udder, antimicrobial component (lactoferrin, S100A7, and S100A8) and inflammatory cytokine (IL‐1β) concentrations were higher in the menthol group than in the control group. These results suggest that menthol application on udders augments the antimicrobial component concentration in the mammary gland under both healthy and inflammatory conditions.

SummaryTo validate the efficacy and safety of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in hepatitis‐associated aplastic anaemia (HAAA) patients, we reviewed 260 patients who underwent HSCT for acquired aplastic anaemia and eventually included 30 HAAA patients and 90 non‐HAAA patients using propensity score matching. In the HAAA group, the estimated 5‐year overall survival rate (75.8% vs. 86.5%, p = 0.409), failure‐free survival (FFS) rate (74.0% vs. 83.2%, p = 0.485), graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD)‐free FFS rate (61.2% vs. 67.6%, p = 0.669) after HSCT were slightly lower but not statistically significant than those in the non‐HAAA group. Both groups did not significantly differ in engraftment, post‐transplant severe infection, cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein‐Barr virus viraemia, or GVHD incidences. The patterns of immune reconstitution were broadly consistent between the two groups. When stratifying HAAA patients according to donor type, no significant differences in survival, transplant‐related mortality, or GVHD cumulative incidences were observed. CMV viraemia (68.7% vs 8.3%, p = 0.009) occurred more commonly in haploidentical donor (HID) transplants than in matched sibling donor transplants. However, early CMV disease incidence (5.6% vs. 0.0%, p = 1.000) was low. Overall, the post‐transplant outcomes of HAAA patients were comparable to those of non‐HAAA patients after balancing potential confounders, and HID‐HSCT can offer an alternative curative option for HAAA.

Published: March 2023

ObjectivesTo understand the implications that the rising upper urinary tract (UUT) stone prevalence in Europe and the increasing burden places on patients and healthcare providers (HCPs), we investigated the evolution of diagnoses and procedures in Germany, France and England over the decade before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic.MethodsWe identified International Classification of Diseases (ICD)‐10 codes related to UUT stones diagnosis and extracted procedure volumes for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy (URS), percutaneous nephrolithotomy and open surgery using national procedure codes from the German Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System, the French Technical Agency of Hospitalisation Information and NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics. We analysed procedures vs hospital diagnoses from 2010 to 2019 and reported results per 100 000 inhabitants.ResultsBetween 2010 and 2019, ICD‐10 N20 codes for calculus of kidney and ureter increased by 8%, 26% and 15% in Germany, France, and England respectively; whereas procedures increased by 3%, 38% and 18%. Of the patients diagnosed with stones, the percentage that received treatment (of any type) differed between countries. In 2019, in Germany 83% of patients diagnosed with stones received treatment, in France 88%, and in England 56%. These figures were relatively stable over the 10‐year study period. Over the past decade, the dominant procedure shifted from ESWL to URS, and the average length of stay for URS decreased. Day case procedures increased in France and England (by 68% and 23%), no data were available in Germany.ConclusionThis analysis highlights an increase in stone diagnoses and procedures, and a shift of surgical management. This development may be due to clinical advantages and advanced technology. The continued stone prevalence rise affects patients, hospitals, and HCPs.
Predicting stock realized variance based on an asymmetric robust regression approach
Authors: Zhang Yaojie , He Mengxi , Zhao Yuqi , Hao Xianfeng 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper introduces an asymmetric robust weighted least squares (ARLS) approach to improve the forecasting performance of the heterogeneous autoregressive model for realized volatility. The ARLS approach down‐weights extreme observations to limit the bad influence of outliers on the estimated parameters. Compared with existing robust regression methods, our model further takes into account the asymmetry of outliers using a class of kernel functions. Out‐of‐sample results show the ARLS approach can generate more accurate forecasts of the S&P 500 index realized volatility in the statistical and economic senses. The model that considers the asymmetry of outliers gains superior performance among various robust regression competitors. The forecasting improvements also hold in other international stock markets. More importantly, the source of the predictive ability of the ARLS model comes from the less biased and more efficient parameter estimation.
Social learning in non‐grouping animals
Authors: Webster Mike M. 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTSocial learning is widespread in the animal kingdom and is involved in behaviours from navigation and predator avoidance to mate choice and foraging. While social learning has been extensively studied in group‐living species, this article presents a literature review demonstrating that social learning is also seen in a range of non‐grouping animals, including arthropods, fishes and tetrapod groups, and in a variety of behavioural contexts. We should not be surprised by this pattern, since non‐grouping animals are not necessarily non‐social, and stand to benefit from attending to and responding to social information in the same ways that group‐living species do. The article goes on to ask what non‐grouping species can tell us about the evolution and development of social learning. First, while social learning may be based on the same cognitive processes as other kinds of learning, albeit with social stimuli, sensory organs and brain regions associated with detection and motivation to respond to social information may be under selection. Non‐grouping species may provide useful comparison taxa in phylogenetic analyses investigating if and how the social environment drives selection on these input channels. Second, non‐grouping species may be ideal candidates for exploring how ontogenetic experience of social cues shapes the development of social learning, allowing researchers to avoid some of the negative welfare implications associated with raising group‐living animals under restricted social conditions. Finally, while non‐grouping species may be capable of learning socially under experimental conditions, there is a need to consider how non‐grouping restricts access to learning opportunities under natural conditions and whether this places a functional constraint on what non‐grouping animals actually learn socially in the wild.
Development of contextual theology in Indonesia based on the idea of “Indonesian Unity” according to Soekarno–Hatta by Eka Darmaputera
Authors: Kurniawan Markus , Putrawan Bobby Kurnia 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study aims to look at the development of contextual theology in Indonesia, which is a theology that is intertwined with the characteristics of Indonesia as a nation and a unitary state. The development of contextual theology that is unique to Indonesia cannot be separated from the basic principles of national and state life, such as the five precepts in Pancasila, one of which is the principle of “Indonesian Unity.” This study presents the idea of “Indonesian Unity,” initiated by Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta, which was used by an Indonesian theologian, namely Eka Darmaputera, in developing contextual theology in Indonesia, namely a contextual theology that is not only based on the scriptures but is also based on contextual theology and is limited by the concept of “Indonesian Unity,” which comes from the ideas of the two national figures. The method used in this research is to elaborate on the writings of the three figures, especially those related to the theme of “Indonesian Unity,” and to use some historical records as one of the arguments for the importance of developing contextual theology based on the idea of “Persatuan Indonesia” (Indonesian unity). This study is more focused on contextual theology developed by Eka Darmaputera. His understanding of evangelism, mission, dialogue and concepts related to the field of contextual theology is ethically applied in dealing with challenges that come from the dangers of national disintegration and challenges that come from injustices that still often occur after the independence of the republic of Indonesia.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundHigh‐density lipoprotein (HDL) presents atheroprotective functions not readily reflected by plasma HDL‐cholesterol levels. The aim of this study was to investigate HDL antioxidant function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsThis pilot and cross‐sectional study included 50 RA patients and 50 controls matched by age, gender, cardiovascular risk factors and drug therapy. The antioxidant capacity of HDL was assessed by the total radical‐trapping antioxidative potential test (TRAP‐assay) and the susceptibility of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidation by the Conjugated Dienes Assay (Dmax). A carotid ultrasound was performed in all participants to detect subclinical atherosclerosis.ResultsHigh‐density lipoprotein from RA patients showed lower antioxidant capacity than those from controls [oxidized‐LDL%: 35.8 (27–42) vs. 24.4 (20–32),p < .001] when analysed with the TRAP‐assay. In addition, the time to achieve 50% of maximal LDL oxidation (Lag‐time) was shorter in RA‐patients than in matched controls [57.2 (42–71) vs. 69.5 (55–75) minutes, (p = .003)]. RA patients showed a higher atherosclerotic burden than controls. The pro‐oxidant pattern in RA was irrespective of the presence of carotid atherosclerosis. On the contrary, there was a positive correlation between inflammatory parameters (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ultrasensitive C‐reactive protein and fibrinogen) and the loss of HDL‐anti‐oxidant capacity measured by the TRAP‐assay (rho = .211,p = .035; rho = .231,p = .021 and rho = .206,p = .041, respectively). Furthermore, the glucocorticoid dose at recruitment was negatively associated with the Lag‐time in RA patients (rho = −.387,p = .026).ConclusionRheumatoid arthritis patients present reduced HDL antioxidant capacity and a lower resistance of LDL particles to oxidation, mainly related to the degree of inflammation.
Desorption and Co‐Dissolution of Uranium‐Bearing Solids During Alkalinity‐Enhanced Flushing of Contaminated Sediments

Published: March 2023

AbstractElevated uranium concentrations in groundwater remain a persistent challenge at contaminated sites. Several sites rely on natural flushing of uranium as a remediation strategy. Uncertainties in conceptual models can cause remediation strategies to underestimate timeframes required to reach remediation goals. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate uranium flushing of sediments from a site with persistent groundwater contamination. Six columns were used to simulate alkalinity‐enhanced flushing of uranium from sediments, by switching influent alkalinity after ~12 pore volumes. About 20% to 31% of sediment uranium was consistently flushed from the sediments. Kd values varied greatly (5.3 to 117 L/kg) but were consistently lower (20% to 50%) during influents with elevated alkalinity. The mass of uranium recovered from the columns also was consistently higher (5% to 80%) during alkalinity‐enhanced flushing periods. However, column experiments with sequentially increasing alkalinity showed diminishing returns in uranium elution at higher carbonate concentrations. The loss of flushing efficiency is attributed to significant calcite precipitation at higher alkalinities. The results show that alkalinity‐enhanced flushing of uranium could be employed as a viable remediation scheme if calcite precipitation could be minimized in a field application.
