Classical Realism and the Rise of Sino-American Antagonism: A Review Essay
Authors: Platias Athanasios , Trigkas Vasilis 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Has the United States been trying to contain China? If so, why now? Still, proponents of Chinese containment have been critical of the United States' continued fixation with Russia - a declining state - arguing that this diversion undermines a focused Chinacentric strategy. This is not the first time that U.S. strategic attention has been diverted from China. Back in 2001, U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, embarked on an ambitious endeavor to revise U.S. grand strategy and focus on China which was perceived as the sole state capable of becoming a peer rival to the United States. However, following the tragic events of 11 September 2001, the Bush administration redirected its focus away from great power antagonism with China towards the Global War on Terror. Could any political scientist, speculating upon the direction of American grand strategy in the summer of 2001, by any accounts have foreseen that the United States would waste significant strategic capital in pursuing terrorists in Afghanistan and promoting democracy in the Middle East over the next decade? Nowadays, could any political theorist in December 2021 have foreseen that the United States would drive Russia into the open arms of China and create Mackinder's Eurasian nightmare? Classical realism may have the best answers. Jonathan Kirshner's latest treatise explains why past is more than prologue and how classical realism is superior to other “realisms” in providing the most authoritative insights about the complex strategic behavior of states.
Complex Langevin method on rotating matrix quantum mechanics at thermal equilibrium
Authors: Azuma Takehiro , Morita Takeshi , Yoshida Hiroki 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Rotating systems in thermal equilibrium are ubiquitous in our world. In the context of high-energy physics, rotations would affect the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). However, the standard Monte Carlo methods in rotating systems are problematic because the chemical potentials for the angular momenta (angular velocities) cause sign problems even for bosonic variables. In this article, we demonstrate that the complex Langevin method (CLM) may overcome this issue. We apply the CLM to the Yang–Mills (YM)-type one-dimensional matrix model (matrix quantum mechanics) that is a large-N reduction (or dimensional reduction) of the (D + 1)-dimensional U(N) pure YM theory [bosonic Banks–Fischler–Shenker–Susskind (BFSS) model]. This model shows a large-N phase transition at finite temperature, which is analogous to the confinement/deconfinement transition of the original YM theory, and our CLM predicts that the transition temperature decreases as the angular momentum chemical potential increases. In order to verify our results, we compute several quantities via the minimum sensitivity method and find good quantitative agreements. Hence, the CLM works properly in this rotating system. We also argue that our results are qualitatively consistent with a holography and the recent studies of the imaginary angular velocity in QCD. As a byproduct, we develop an analytic approximation to treat the so-called “small black hole” phase in the matrix model.

Published: July 2023

Background:
Few studies compared the use of the deep venous system alone versus combined superficial and deep venous drainage in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps. The objective of this study was to compare DIEP flap breast reconstruction using either the deep venous system alone versus dual-system venous drainage and to propose an algorithm for flap design and orientation and vein selection to facilitate consistent use of dual-system venous drainage.

Methods:
Patients undergoing DIEP flap breast reconstruction between March of 2017 and April of 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Flaps were divided into 2 groups: deep venous system only (group 1) or dual system (group 2). Outcomes included take-back to the operating room, flap loss and thrombosis, and operative time.

Results:
A total of 244 DIEP flaps in 162 patients met inclusion criteria. A total of 130 flaps were included in group 1 (53.3%) and 114 flaps were included in group 2 (46.7%). Sixteen flaps (6.6%) required immediate take-back to the operating room, and take-back rates were not significantly different between groups (P = 0.606). The flap loss rate was significantly higher in group 1 at 2.5% versus group 2 at 0% (P = 0.031). Flap thrombosis occurred in 8 flaps (3.3%) and tended to occur more frequently in group 1, but this finding did not reach significance (group 1, 5.4%; group 2, 0.9%; P = 0.071).

Conclusions:
The use of dual-system venous drainage in DIEP flap breast reconstruction decreases the rate of flap loss. The authors’ algorithm can be used to guide selection of flap laterality, rotation, and veins and recipient vessels to facilitate routine use of dual-system venous drainage.

Vaginal Preservation in Shaft-Only Phalloplasty: Y-to-V Advancement Technique for Clitoral Hood Redundancy and Reduction Labiaplasty
Authors: Moorefield Amanda K. , Veith Jacob P. , Mills Andrew , Hebert Kevin , McCormick Benjamin , Goodwin Isak A. 
Published: July 2023

Summary:
As the prevalence and understanding of genital gender-affirming surgery have grown, so has the spectrum of surgical techniques to better serve a wider range of transgender and nonbinary individuals. Given the diverse spectrum of individuals seeking phalloplasty, patient-driven decision-making, beginning with the initial consultation, is critical. Phalloplasty is not a one-size-fits-all surgery, but instead should be viewed as an individually customized approach. This article discusses the technical details of vaginal preservation without scrotoplasty or clitoral tissue burial in a shaft-only phalloplasty. The technique involves degloving the clitoral shaft with inset at the ventral base of the phallus, addressing the redundant clitoral hood, and accompanying reduction labiaplasty with a Y-to-V adjacent tissue transfer. The phallus may be neurotized with clitoral nerves from one side of the clitoris and/or the ilioinguinal nerve. This technique obliterates the degloved clitoral hood and resuspends the labia minora anteriorly, improving final aesthetics and striving to meet the patient’s genital goals.
Syntactic Constructions Drive Cortical Tracking in the Absence of Lexical Content: An Electrophysiological Investigation of Sentence Processing During Reading

Published: July 2023

AbstractIt has been suggested that the synchronization of neural oscillations to syntactic units, such as phrases or clauses, is dependent on lexically-derived projections of syntactic structure. This assertion is based on recent evidence that participants are unable to effectively track syntax when listening to jabberwocky sentences, in which content words are replaced with pseudowords thereby eliminating lexically-derived syntactic projections (Coopmans et al., 2022; Kaufeld et al., 2020). In the present study, we extend the findings from these two studies and present evidence that participants can in fact track syntactic units in jabberwocky sentences when the stimuli are presented visually – a methodological difference that allows participants to easily parse individual words in the sentence. We interpret this finding as indicating that tracking the phrase structure of a sentence can take place in the absence of content words and does not crucially depend on their lexical projections.
A gene-regulatory network model for density-dependent and sex-biased dispersal evolution during range expansions
Authors: Deshpande Jhelam N. , Fronhofer Emanuel A. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDispersal is key to understanding ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Dispersal may itself evolve and exhibit phenotypic plasticity. Specifically, organisms may modulate their dispersal rates in response to the density of their conspecifics (density-dependent dispersal) and their own sex (sex-biased dispersal). While optimal dispersal plastic responses have been derived from first principles, the genetic and molecular basis of dispersal plasticity has not been modelled. An understanding of the genetic architecture of disper-sal plasticity is especially relevant for understanding dispersal evolution during rapidly changing spatial ecological conditions such as range expansions. In this context, we develop an individual-based metapop-ulation model of the evolution of density-dependent and sex-biased dispersal during range expansions. We represent the dispersal trait as a gene-regulatory network (GRN), which can take population density and an individual’s sex as an input and analyse emergent context- and condition-dependent dispersal responses. We compare dispersal evolution and ecological dynamics in this GRN model to a standard reaction norm (RN) approach under equilibrium metapopulation conditions and during range expansions. We find that under equilibrium metapopulation conditions, the GRN model produces emergent density-dependent and sex-biased dispersal plastic response shapes that match the theoretical expectation of the RN model. However, during range expansion, when mutation effects are large enough, the GRN model leads to faster range expansion because GRNs can maintain higher adaptive potential. Our results imply that, in order to understand eco-evolutionary dynamics in contemporary time, the genetic architecture of traits must be taken into account.

This study has observed that research in the social sustainability area, including various issues like health and safety, labor rights, discrimination, etc. is scarce. Integration of the Industry 4.0 technologies like blockchain, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) with the sustainable and green supply chain (GSC) is a promising field for future research.Originality/valueThe authors' contribution primarily lies in providing the integrated framework which shows the changing trends in the use of fuzzy methods in the sustainability area classifying and consolidating green and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) literature in seven major areas where fuzzy methods are predominantly applied. These areas have been obtained after the analysis of clusters and content analysis of the literature presenting key insights from the past and developing the conceptual framework for future research studies.
I wish I had a paid job or a business: a moderated effect of entrepreneurial potential on career choice regret
Authors: Ephrem Akilimali Ndatabaye , Murimbika McEdward 
Published: July 2023

PurposeDespite the merit of extant studies on career decision regrets, they are not well integrated, are developed at different speeds and differ in focus. Specifically, they do not address an important question about the levels and antecedents of regret arising from choosing entrepreneurship instead of paid employment and vice versa. The authors adopted the regret regulation theory as foundation to examining the moderated effect of entrepreneurial potential (EP) on career choice regret (CCR) among employees and entrepreneurs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors surveyed 721 employees and 724 entrepreneurs from a developing country and applied partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses.FindingsEmployees regretted their career choice three times more when compared with entrepreneurs. However, the authors failed to conclude that the latter had three times better living conditions when compared with the former. EP negatively influenced the regret of being an entrepreneur in lieu of an employee while it positively influenced the regret of being an employee in lieu of an entrepreneur. The perceived opportunity cost of being a higher EP employee was three times greater when compared with that of being a lower EP entrepreneur. The effect of EP on CCR was mitigated or amplified by duration in the career, former career status, decision justifiability, and perceived environment's supportiveness.Research limitations/implicationsThe design was cross-sectional, thus, the findings cannot be interpreted in the strict sense of causality.Originality/valueThe authors rely on an important yet often overlooked context of the choice between entrepreneurship and paid employment to test, clarify, and extend the regret regulation theory. The findings have novel human resource management and entrepreneurship policy implications.
Employee-owned firms in France
Authors: Fakhfakh Fathi , Magne Nathalie , Mirabel Thibault , Pérotin Virginie 
Published: July 2023

Purpose France is the third country in Europe after Italy and Spain for the number of employee-owned firms, with some 2,600 worker cooperatives (SCOPs). The authors propose a comprehensive review of SCOPs and any barriers to their expansion.Design/methodology/approach The authors analyse relevant legislation; review the rich empirical economic literature on SCOPs; and offer new descriptive empirical evidence comparing SCOPs and other French firms.Findings SCOPs benefit from a consistent legal framework and a well-structured and supportive cooperative movement. Cooperative laws allow attracting external capital, provide barriers against degeneration and encourage profit allocations that favour investment and labour. SCOPs are distributed across a wide range of industries; are larger than conventional firms, as capital intensive, more productive and survive better. Despite this good performance their number remains modest, perhaps because of information barriers.Research limitations/implications An examination of the Italian and Spanish experiences and the relationship between SCOPs and the French labour movement might contribute to explaining the modest number of SCOPs.Originality/value The first comprehensive review of French worker cooperatives in four decades and the first with extensive comparative data on SCOPs and conventional French firms. With some of the best data on worker cooperatives in the world, findings have international relevance.
The impact of feminism on bank performance: the case of Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Yen Thi , Dang Cuong Thanh , Trinh Hang Thi 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the impact of board characteristics on bank performance at the commercial bank in Vietnam.

Design/methodology/approach
By running the pool OLS, fixed-effect and random-effect models with a panel data set of 294 observations from 2008 to 2021, the authors have examined determinants of bank performance.

Findings
The research results show that bank size, governance efficiency, capital adequacy ratio and economic growth have a positive effect while credit risk has a negative relationship with the commercial bank’s performance.

Originality/value
In particular, the result shows the relationship between chief executive officers’ (CEOs) gender and bank performance. Commercial banks led by female CEOs have lower bank performance than that led by male CEOs. However, this impact magnitude is not significant. The research results are the basis to propose recommendations to improve the Vietnamese commercial bank’s performance.
Interactions between plant‐beneficial microorganisms in a consortium: Streptomyces microflavus and Trichoderma harzianum
Authors: Prigigallo Maria Isabella , Staropoli Alessia , Vinale Francesco , Bubici Giovanni 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe construction of microbial consortia is challenging due to many variables to be controlled, including the cross‐compatibility of the selected strains and their additive or synergistic effects on plants. In this work, we investigated the interactions in vitro, in planta, and at the molecular level of two elite biological control agents (BCAs), that is Streptomyces microflavus strain AtB‐42 and Trichoderma harzianum strain M10, to understand their attitude to cooperate in a consortium. In vitro, we observed a strong cross‐antagonism between AtB‐42 and M10 in agar plates due to diffusible metabolites and volatile organic compounds. In liquid co‐cultures, M10 hindered the growth of AtB‐42 very likely because of secondary metabolites and strong competition for the nutrients. The interaction in the co‐culture induced extensive transcriptional reprogramming in both strains, especially in the pathways related to ribosomes, protein synthesis, and oxidoreductase activity, suggesting that each strain recognized the counterpart and activated its defence responses. The metabolome of both strains was also significantly affected. In contrast, in the soil, M10 growth was partially contrasted by AtB‐42. The roots of tomato seedlings inoculated with the consortium appeared smaller than the control and single‐strain‐inoculated plants, indicating that plants diverted some energy from the development to defence activation, as evidenced by the leaf transcriptome. The consortium induced a stronger transcriptional change compared to the single inoculants, as demonstrated by a higher number of differentially expressed genes. Although the cross‐antagonism observed in vitro, the two strains exerted a synergistic effect on tomato seedlings by inducing resistance responses stronger than the single inoculants. Our observations pose a question on the usefulness of the sole in vitro assays for selecting BCAs to construct a consortium. In vivo experiments should be preferred, and transcriptomics may greatly help to elucidate the activity of the BCAs beyond the phenotypic effects on the plant.
Source Enrichment Control on the Scale of Magmatic‐Hydrothermal W‐Sn Mineralization: Insights from Triassic and Jurassic Magma Reservoirs in the Continental Crust, Xitian, South China

Published: July 2023

AbstractThere are two factors, source composition and magmatic differentiation, potentially controlling W‐Sn mineralization. Which one is more important is widely debated and may need to be determined for each individual deposit. The Xitian granite batholith located in South China is a natural laboratory for investigating the above problem. It consists essentially of two separate components, formed in the Triassic at ca. 226 Ma and Jurassic at ca. 152 Ma, respectively. The Triassic and Jurassic rocks are both composed of porphyritic and fine‐grained phases. The latter resulted from highly‐differentiated porphyritic ones but they have similar textural characteristics and mineral assemblages, indicating that they reached a similar degree of crystal fractionation. Although both fine‐grained phases are highly differentiated with elevated rare metal contents, economic W–Sn mineralization is rare in the Triassic granitoids and this can be attributed to less fertile source materials than their Jurassic counterparts, with a slightly more enriched isotopic signature and whole‐rock εNd(226 Ma) of –10.4 to –9.2 (2σ = 0.2) compared with εNd(152 Ma) of –9.2 to ‐8.2 (2σ = 0.2) for the Jurassic rocks. The initial W‐Sn enrichment was derived from the metasedimentary rocks and strongly enhanced by reworking of the continental crust, culminating in the Jurassic.

AbstractTo evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of antidepressants in helping smokers quit tobacco dependence, five databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTS) on different antidepressant interventions involving smoking cessation in populations (September 2022). The STATA 15.1 software was used to perform network meta‐analysis. The Cochrane bias risk tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and CINeMA was used to evaluate the evidence credibility for the effect of different interventions on smoking cessation. In all, 107 RCTs involving 42 744 patients were included. Seven studies were rated as having a low risk of bias. All trials reported 18 interventions and 153 pairwise comparisons were generated. The network meta‐analysis showed that compared with placebo, varenicline + bupropion (OR = 3.53, 95% CI [2.34, 5.34]), selegiline + nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) (OR = 3.78, 95% CI [1.20, 11.92]), nortriptyline + NRT (OR = 2.33, 95% CI [1.21, 4.47), nortriptyline (OR = 1.58, 95% CI [1.11,2.26]), naltrexone + bupropion (OR = 3.84, 95% CI [1.39, 10.61]), bupropion + NRT (OR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.87, 2.81]) and bupropion (OR = 1.70, 95% CI [1.53, 1.89]) showed benefits with respect to smoking cessation. In addition, bupropion + NRT showed better effects than bupropion (OR = 1.35, 95% CI [1.12, 1.64]) and NRT (OR = 1.38, 95% CI [1.13, 1.69]) alone. The final cumulative ranking curve showed that varenicline + bupropion was the most likely to be the best intervention. There was moderate‐ to very‐low‐certainty evidence that most interventions showed benefits for smoking cessation compared with placebo, including monotherapy and combination therapies. Varenicline + bupropion had a higher probability of being the best intervention for smoking cessation.
