BackgroundVesical Imaging–Reporting and Data System (VI‐RADS) is widely used to assess the muscle‐invasive status of bladder cancer. However, the current classification efficacy of VI‐RASD 2 tumors of stalk is unsatisfactory.PurposeTo develop a nomogram to assess muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) in VI‐RADS 2 tumors with stalk.Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationA total of 186 patients (age: 67.8 ± 12.7 years) with 15.1% females, divided randomly into a training cohort (N = 130) and validation cohort (N = 56).Field Strength/Sequence3‐T, T2‐weighted imaging (turbo spin‐echo), diffusion‐weighted imaging (breathing‐free spin‐echo), and dynamic contrast‐enhanced imaging (gradient‐echo).AssessmentTwenty‐one MRI features of tumors and stalks were developed from training cohort. The mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the tumor, stalk, and psoas muscles were calculated from the three circular regions of interest. The normalized T . The normalized ST . Three readers assessed the morphology of tumors and stalks.Statistical TestsThe final features of nomogram were selected by univariable logistic and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration, and decision curve analysis.ResultsIn VI‐RADS 2 tumors with stalk, tumor size over 3 cm, increased stalk width, stalk morphology, decreased normalized T value, and increased normalized ST value were selected as the risk factors for MIBC. The AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the nomogram to assess MIBC were 0.969 (95% CI: 0.941–0.997), 92.3%, 94.1%, and 92.0% in training cohort and 0.940 (95% CI: 0.859–1.000), 89.3%, 75.0%, and 91.7% in validation cohort.Data ConclusionThis study constructed a nomogram for preoperative assessment of MIBC and modifying the current VI‐RADS.Level of Evidence3Technical EfficacyStage 2

BackgroundAccurately detecting adverse pathology (AP) presence in prostate cancer patients is important for personalized clinical decision‐making. Radiologists' assessment based on clinical characteristics showed poor performance for detecting AP presence.PurposeTo develop deep learning models for detecting AP presence, and to compare the performance of these models with those of a clinical model (CM) and radiologists' interpretation (RI).Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationTotally, 616 men from six institutions who underwent radical prostatectomy, were divided into a training cohort (508 patients from five institutions) and an external validation cohort (108 patients from one institution).Field Strength/SequencesT2‐weighted imaging with a turbo spin echo sequence and diffusion‐weighted imaging with a single‐shot echo plane‐imaging sequence at 3.0 T.AssessmentThe reference standard for AP was histopathological extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion, or positive surgical margins. A deep learning model based on the Swin‐Transformer network (TransNet) was developed for detecting AP. An integrated model was also developed, which combined TransNet signature with clinical characteristics (TransCL). The clinical characteristics included biopsy Gleason grade group, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System scores, prostate‐specific antigen, ADC value, and the lesion maximum cross‐sectional diameter.Statistical TestsModel and radiologists' performance were assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. The Delong test was used to evaluate difference in AUC. P < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsThe AUC of TransCL for detecting AP presence was 0.813 (95% CI, 0.726–0.882), which was higher than that of TransNet (0.791 [95% CI, 0.702–0.863], P = 0.429), and significantly higher than those of CM (0.749 [95% CI, 0.656–0.827]) and RI (0.664 [95% CI, 0.566–0.752]).Data ConclusionTransNet and TransCL have potential to aid in detecting the presence of AP and some single adverse pathologic features.Level of Evidence4Technical EfficacyStage 4

AbstractRabies is a fatal viral zoonosis caused by rabies virus (RABV). RABV infects the central nervous system and triggers acute encephalomyelitis in both humans and animals. Endemic in the Brazilian Northeast region, RABV emergence in distinct wildlife species has been identified as a source of human rabies infection and as such, constitutes a public health concern. Here, we performed post‐mortem RABV analyses of 144 encephalic tissues from bats sampled from January to July 2022, belonging to 15 different species. We identified phylogenetically distinct RABV from Phyllostomidae and Molossidae bats circulating in Northeastern Brazil. Phylogenetic clustering revealed the close evolutionary relationship between RABV viruses circulating in bats and variants hosted in white‐tufted marmosets, commonly captured to be kept as pets and linked to human rabies cases and deaths in Brazil. Our findings underline the urgent need to implement a phylogenetic‐scale epidemiological surveillance platform to track multiple RABV variants which may pose a threat to both humans and animals.
The multiple faces of collective responses to organizational change: Taking stock and moving forward

Published: August 2023

SummaryThis special issue focuses on collective responses to organizational change with a goal of enhancing knowledge on the emergence of these higher‐level responses to change. While researchers acknowledge that organizational change inherently involves processes at multiple levels (individual, team, organization), scholars have only recently begun to increasingly promote models of collective responses to change. Spotlighting this gap, in this paper, we explore the dynamic character of collective responses to change, note the multiple ways in which these may develop, and identify theoretical frames rooted in psychology and sociology. This approach contributes to the growing field of responses beyond the individual. Through the papers in the special issue, we offer a framework based on Bourdieu's theory of practice as a platform for bringing together perspectives on agency and structuralism on how responses to change are shaped in the collective. With this framing, we provide direction for future research on successful organizational change through the interrelations between individuals and collectives undergoing change.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundIrrigation of lands over time leads to such negative processes as land salinization and waterlogging, reduction of soil fertility, changes in the chemical composition of groundwater, and the emergence of linear and irrigation erosion. The land improvement (ameliorative) categories adopted in Russia and several post‐Soviet countries determine their suitability for agricultural use and the focus of measures to preserve potential soil fertility.AimsThe study aims to build a mathematical model to assess the intensity of the reduction and restoration of irrigated lands’ state in the Republic of Bashkortostan.MethodsThe methods of the theory of random processes are proposed to estimate the intensity of reduction and restoration of irrigated lands’ state on the territory of the Republic.ResultsAs a result of the calculations, the values of intensities characterizing changes in the state of land in the region were obtained. The practical significance of the developed model consists of the possibility of short‐term forecasting and determination of the necessary intensity of land quality restoration taking into account planned values during the given period.ConclusionsThe offered indicator of intensity and the method of its definition can be used in research of similar processes proceeding on agricultural lands within the limits of large spatial units.

AbstractRoots, tubers and cooking bananas are bulky and highly perishable. In Africa, except for yams, their consumption is mainly after transport, peeling and cooking in the form of boiled pieces or dough, a few days after harvest. To stabilize and better preserve the products and, in the case of cassava, release toxic cyanogenic glucosides, a range of intermediate products have been developed, mainly for cassava, related to fermentation and drying after numerous processing operations. This review highlights, for the first time, the impact of genotypes on labour requirements, productivity and the associated drudgery in processing operations primarily carried out by women processors. Peeling, soaking/grinding/fermentation, dewatering, sieving and toasting steps were evaluated on a wide range of new hybrids and traditional landraces. The review highlights case studies of gari production from cassava. The results show that, depending on the genotypes used, women's required labour can be more than doubled and even the sum of the weights transported along the process can be up to four times higher for the same quantity of end product. Productivity and loads carried between each processing operation are highly influenced by root shape, ease of peeling, dry matter content and/or fiber content. Productivity and the often related experienced drudgery are key factors to be considered for a better acceptance of new genotypes by actors in the value‐addition chain, leading to enhanced adoption and ultimately to improved livelihoods for women processors. © 2023 The Authors.Journal of The Science of Food and Agriculturepublished by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.

ObjectiveThe aim was to study laryngological complaints in patients with hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD).MethodsA total of 363 patients met inclusion for the study by completing questions related to voice, upper airway, and swallowing between July 7, 2020 and July 13, 2022. Demographic data, voice‐related questions, and hypermobility diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively. From those, 289 patients were diagnosed with hEDS or HSD with 74 that did not meet the diagnostic criteria for either diagnosis serving as controls.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences between patients with hEDS and HSD regarding Voice Handicap Index (VHI‐10) scores, voice, upper airway, or swallow complaints. However, more hEDS/HSD patients answered positively to the laryngeal dysfunction question versus controls (p = 0.031). 22.5% of hEDS/HSD patients (n = 65) reported hoarseness, of which 52.3% reported hoarseness >2 days/month. 33.9% (n = 98) with hEDS/HSD reported symptoms of dysphagia, and 27.0% (n = 78) reported laryngeal dysfunction symptoms. Controls demonstrated 20.3% prevalence of hoarseness, of which 46.7% reported hoarseness >2 days/month. 24.3% of controls had dysphagia and 14.9% laryngeal dysfunction symptoms. Of the 363 patients, VHI‐10 scores >11 were more likely in patients reporting >2 days of hoarseness/month (p = 0.001) versus those with <2 days of hoarseness/month. There was an increased prevalence of voice, upper airway, and dysphagia symptoms in hEDS/HSD patients compared with previously reported prevalence data in the general population.ConclusionA significant proportion of patients diagnosed with hypermobility due to hEDS or HSD were found to have voice, upper airway, and dysphagia symptoms. These rates are higher than those previously reported in the general population.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 134:773–778, 2024
The influence of deviant advertisements on customer responses: The role of cultural tightness in emerging and developed economies
Authors: Wagner Udo , Pauser Sandra , Akturan Ulun 
Published: August 2023

AbstractCapturing and gaining customers' attention is key to the success of any business. Deviant advertising, including atypical marketing activities that diverge from a social norm, can either be acknowledged due to its attention‐generating character, or is—more often—deemed inappropriate and results in unfavorable consumer responses. This paper reinforces that, in general, ads with deviant content (e.g., the depiction of violence) are evaluated worse as compared to ads portraying nondeviant content. In particular, the role of cultural tightness (i.e., strictness of obeying social norms within society) is empirically examined in analyzing deviant advertisements and its effects on ad attitude and customer responses in an emerging and developed economy. Economic development predominantly affects customer responses of nondeviant ad content (but not deviant ad content). By employing qualitative and quantitative studies, including communicational and observational data collection, this research shows that deviant depictions (vs. nondeviant ads) promote negative attitudes toward ads, and consumers are culturally sensitive, which provides important managerial implications for international marketers.
Skills make you happy: Why high (vs. low) skill activities make consumers happier, yet they don't choose them
Authors: Alberhasky Max , Raghunathan Raj 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHigh‐skill activities—defined as those for which ability increases with practice over time—tend to contribute more to well‐being than do low‐skill ones. Nevertheless, consumers may spend the majority of their leisure time partaking in low‐skill activities (e.g., watching television, listening to music, web surfing)—despite correctly recognizing that higher‐skill activities, despite requiring more effort, are more happiness‐inducing. We explore this paradox in the present research. Results from five experiments (three online experiments and two lab experiments) confirm that consumers report being happier when spending time on high (vs. low) skill activities, and that the increased happiness from these high‐skill activities is mediated by increased “flow” from them. Expertise in an activity moderates this effect, such that those who are relative experts in a high‐skill activity experience increased happiness and meaning compared to those who are amateurs. We discuss how consumers can utilize this knowledge to improve their well‐being, and how marketers and employers can build on our findings to enhance customer and employee satisfaction.

AbstractThis research investigates the extent to which sponsorships can be utilised to foster trust and reduce barriers to adopting new technologies. Using Crypto.com's sponsorship of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the context, this mixed‐methods study utilises innovation resistance theory (IRT) and trust transfer theory (TTT) to investigate the extent to which such a sponsorship can increase trust and reduce barriers in innovative technologies such as cryptoassets, while also filling a research gap concerning consumer resistance to innovations in digital financial products and services. The findings of study 1, using a survey (n = 1081), and study 2 using interviews (n = 24) reveal that a positive image of sponsorship significantly influences favourability and interest, and trust of the product of the sponsor which subsequently reduces psychological barriers to adoption. Integrating the theoretical viewpoints of IRT and TTT, this study enhances our conceptual understanding regarding the psychological dimension of sponsorship and the extent to which a sponsorship generates interest, giving assurance and trust in the sponsor's product, and removing uncertainty; thus, reducing barriers to adoption.

AbstractAimsThe aim of the study was to explore the experiences of female new nurse managers during the COVID‐19 pandemic.DesignThis was a phenomenological study, and qualitative descriptive analysis was used.MethodsNew nurse managers were defined as new nurse managers with less than 3 years of management experience in this study. During November and December of 2021, 18 female new nurse managers were interviewed face‐to‐face with a semi‐structured interview guide in three municipal hospitals. The study followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines for evaluating qualitative research reports. Data analysis was performed using Colaizzi's seven‐step method.ResultsFour main themes and 10 sub‐themes were extracted from the collected data. The four major themes were as follows: (1) a shift in stress; (2) work‐related physical and psychological discomfort; (3) reflection on the cause; (4) coping and struggles.ConclusionsNew nurse managers were experiencing great stress and exhaustion in their roles. It is important that they are helped to handle situations. Providing them with readily accessible support, addressing their psychosocial needs and addressing exhaustion is necessary. Considering their short management time, the hospital should provide adequate support in human, financial and material areas and provide training to help new nurse managers better adapt to their new roles. In addition, nurse directors should create a culture of mutual respect, identify workplace bullying and create a harmonious and cooperation‐oriented work environment for new nurse managers.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

AbstractSoil judging contests are important activities to explore the soil science and its relation to the natural world. They have been held for many years and proved to be very efficient for the student's engagement, field practice, and learning. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the soil science societies worldwide had to adapt this activity to the virtual environment. The objective of this article is to document two experiences tested in Brazil and the United States of America, exploring its potential as an innovative and widely available educational method for teaching soil science. The procedures developed in both countries are presented, and the students perceptions indicated that the virtual events are a viable way to hold the soil judging contest, contributing to their academic skills. The Brazilian and American experiences are viable models that can serve as a basis for other countries adopting this activity in their pedagogical planning and academic calendar.

AbstractResin as a continuous and base phase plays a key role in the organic bonded solid lubricating (OBSL) coating. However, the influence mechanism of resin mechanical properties on tribological properties and corrosion resistance of coatings remains elusive. Here, the effect of crosslink density of epoxy resin modified by phenolic resin (Abbr. EP/PH) on the tribological performance /corrosion protection of MoS2 + Sb2O3/EP composite coating has been elucidated. The tribology and corrosion properties of the coatings with different crosslink densities were analyzed by SEM/EDS, XRD, XPS, and EIS. The result indicates that when the crosslink density of resin in the coating is moderate of 460 mol/m3and the elastic modulus reaches the highest value of 2217 MPa, the MoS2 + Sb2O3/EP composite coating shows low friction coefficient about 0.01, long anti‐wear life (≥480 min), and good corrosion resistance with the higher value of |Z|0.01Hz(1.92 × 1010 Ω cm2) after 72 h of immersion than other coatings. In addition, the too high or too low crosslink density of EP/PH resin is not beneficial to improve the performance of coating. It is because the mechanical strength and toughness of resin with appropriate crosslink density are enhanced greatly, which ensures a tight bond between the filler as a dispersed phase and resin as a continuous phase to form the compact micro‐structure of coating, which improve the strength and shielding capacity of coating, so the MoS2 + Sb2O3/EP composite coating shows good tribological properties and anti‐corrosion.HighlightsThe effect of resin crosslink density on property of coating has been studied.The strength of resin with suitable crosslink density are enhanced greatly.The coating shows good tribological properties and shielding capacity.The crosslink structure of resin has a great influence on coating properties.
