Published: January 2023

AbstractAccording to attachment theory, feeding, including breastfeeding, plays only a marginal role in relationship formation. However, studies—especially in rural traditional non‐Western contexts—repeatedly demonstrate that feeding can be an important attachment mechanism. We interviewed 30 urban, middle‐class families with 6‐to‐19‐month‐old infants in the surrounding greater metropolitan area of San José, Costa Rica, to investigate if they consider feeding relevant for attachment formation. Qualitative content analysis revealed that breastfeeding is a key factor in specifying whether caregivers believed feeding to be relevant for attachment formation. The study found that breastfeeding families considered feeding relevant for attachment, and bottle‐feeding families associated feeding with mainly alimentary and no attachment‐related functions. Furthermore, breastfeeding seems to foster exclusive maternal attachment, while multiple feeding seems to foster multiple attachments. Consequently, the feeding network seems to regulate a child's attachment network in urban middle‐class families in San José. A triangulation of caregiver interviews, interviews with key informants, and member checking with key informants support the validity of the findings.
“You're not gay; You're a child of god”: Microaggressions experienced by LGBTQ+ teens and their parents in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐day Saints

AbstractLike other teens in conservative religious environments, LGBTQ+ teens raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐day Saints (CJCLDS) likely experience unique microaggressions. Furthermore, like other conservatively religious parents of LGBTQ+ teens, active Latter‐day Saint (LDS) parents who openly support their LGBTQ+ teens likely both witness microaggressions toward their teens and may personally experience microaggressions. The present study sought to understand parents' and teens' experiences of microaggressions in conservative religious contexts by focusing specifically on the microaggressions experienced by (a) LGBTQ+ teens raised in the CJCLDS and (b) their active LDS parents. Thematic analysis of separate interviews with 19 dyads of LGBTQ+ teens and their active LDS parents (38 total interviews) revealed various ways in which they experienced verbal, nonverbal, and environmental microaggressions. We highlight parents' and teens' shared experiences of microaggressions that may be uniquely related to their religious contexts, such as assumptions that LGBTQ+ teens or their parents are not faithful and exclusionary Church policies. Additionally, we identified microaggressions that specifically targeted parents of LGBTQ+ teens, such as comments suggesting parents should limit their support for their teens. Finally, we found that parents had vicarious experiences with microaggressions through witnessing or learning about microaggressions that targeted their teens. Findings highlight the ways that the religious contexts in which microaggressions occur can influence the way that microaggressions are communicated to and experienced by LGBTQ+ teens – and their parents.
The World Languages Professional Life Survey: K–20 articulation through the 5 Cs and the Can‐Dos
Authors: Moss Grant D. , Gambrell James A. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe overarching objective of the World Language Professional Life Survey (WLPLS) was to determine the K–20 World Language (WL) profession's familiarity with both the World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages (5 Cs) and with the Can‐Do Statements (Can‐Dos). The survey strove to identify how both sets of principles might strengthen K–20 articulation in three ways: (1) WL teachers' level of formal training, (2) WL instructors' core beliefs about their pedagogical objectives, and (3) possible connections between their training and their core beliefs. The present study analyzes the findings from the survey. The researchers collected the data from the survey to determine what the relationships (if any) were between formal academic training and core pedagogical beliefs. The possible relationships check the pulse of WL professionals concerning their familiarity with the 5 Cs and the Can‐Dos which can lead to stronger articulation.
International heterogeneity of nominal wages and optimal monetary policy
Authors: Ida Daisuke , Okano Mitsuhiro 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper examines optimal monetary policy in a two‐country model with staggered nominal prices and wages. We show that given home nominal wage stickiness, changes in the degree of foreign nominal wage stickiness substantially impact the worldwide welfare losses and gains from commitment policy. Specifically, the welfare gains from a commitment policy are greatest when nominal wages in both countries are perfectly flexible. However, when nominal wages in the foreign country are stickier, the gains from commitment decrease.
An inquiry into the treatment of sepsis using plasma exchange therapy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Published: January 2023

AbstractSepsis is a potentially lethal condition that occurs when the body's response to infection damages tissue and organs. The production of inflammatory mediators typically assists in defending the body against infection; however, an overreaction to inflammation can cause coagulation problems, vascular endothelial damage, and organ hypoperfusion. Blood purification methods, such as plasmapheresis, can effectively remove inflammatory mediators from plasma. The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to explore the efficacy of plasma exchange for sepsis treatment as noted in recent studies. The authors searched the Pubmed (Medline), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library), Embase (Ovid), and Scopus databases and included controlled clinical studies that compared plasmapheresis or plasma filtration with conventional treatment in patients with severe sepsis. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale literature quality assessment tool was used to assess the risk of bias. The primary study outcome was all‐cause mortality. The random effects model was adopted for conducting the meta‐analysis. Among the 1013 records found, the study included 5 trials, all of which carried a low risk of bias. The use of plasmapheresis was associated with a longer stay in the intensive care unit (odds ratio [OR], 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.39–1.32, heterogeneity [I2] = 0%), a significant reduction in all‐cause mortality (OR, 0.54, 95% CI, 0.33–0.89, I2 = 70%), and reduced mortality (OR, 0.29, 95% CI, 0.13–0.67, I2 = 0%) in adults; the results for children differed from this (OR, 0.79, 95% CI, 0.36–1.72, I2 = 89%). Four trials reported no adverse events; one trial reported an adverse event related to plasma exchange, including an instance of hypotension in one patient. Plasmapheresis appeared to be an effective treatment for patients suffering from sepsis. A large number of additional randomised controlled trials are needed to confirm this finding.
Retracted: Effect of chest ultrasound compared with pericardial window for the diagnosis of occult penetrating cardiac wounds in hemodynamically stable subjects with penetrating thoracic trauma: A meta‐analysis

Published: January 2023

AbstractWe conducted a meta‐analysis to assess the diagnostic performance of chest ultrasound compared with a pericardial window for the detection of occult penetrating cardiac wounds in patients with penetrating thoracic trauma who were hemodynamically stable. A systematic literature search up to December 2022 was performed and 567 related studies were evaluated. The chosen studies comprised 629 penetrating thoracic trauma subjects who participated in the selected studies' baseline. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of different chest ultrasounds on wound infection after penetrating thoracic trauma by the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed effect model. The chest ultrasound resulted in significantly lower occult penetrating cardiac wounds detection (OR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01–0.08, P < 0.001), higher false positive (OR, 33.85; 95% CI, 9.21–124.39, P < 0.001), and higher false negative (OR, 27.31; 95% CI, 7.62–97.86, P < 0.001) compared with the pericardial window in penetrating thoracic trauma. The chest ultrasound resulted in significantly lower occult penetrating cardiac wound detection, higher false positives, and higher false negatives compared with the pericardial window in penetrating thoracic trauma. Although care should be taken when dealing with the results because all of the studies had less than 200 subjects as a sample size

Published: February 2023

AbstractUsing the melt‐quench technique, potassium zinc borophosphate (KZnBP) glasses incorporated with Dy3+, Eu3+, and Dy3+/Eu3+ ions individually and combinedly were prepared, and their photoluminescence (PL)‐related features were investigated. The KZnBP glass containing an optimized content of Dy3+ (0.5 mol%) is co‐doped with Eu3+ in various contents, and the energy transfer (ET) process between them was studied at λexci = 349, 364, 387 (Dy3+), and 394 nm (Eu3+). The Dy3+/Eu3+ co‐doped system, when excited with Dy3+ excitations has resulted in a significant decrease in the intensity of Dy3+ peaks observed at 480 nm (4F9/2→6H15/2, blue) and 574 nm (4F9/2→6H13/2, yellow), with simultaneous enhancement of the intensity of Eu3+ peaks at 591 nm (5D0→7F1, orange) and 617 nm (5D0→7F2, red). This trend is due to the efficient energy transfer from Dy3+ to Eu3+, indicating that Eu3+ ions were sensitized by Dy3+ ions. Dexter's theory and the Inokuti–Hirayama (I–H) model revealed that the dipole–dipole interaction is accountable for the energy transfer from Dy3+ to Eu3+ through energy‐transfer channels [4F9/2(Dy3+)+7F1,2(Eu3+)→6H15/2(Dy3+)+5D2(Eu3+)] and [4F9/2(Dy3+)+7F0(Eu3+)→6H13/2(Dy3+)+5D0(Eu3+)]. The color coordinates of the Dy3+/Eu3+ co‐doped glasses under various excitations fall within the white light emission spectrum, indicating their potential application in warm white LEDs.
Corporate political activism, information transparency and IPO compliance costs

Published: February 2023

AbstractDue to their covert and often dubious nature, corporate political activities may encourage or facilitate opportunistic behaviors. Yet, they also subject firms to heightened visibility, which brings greater public and regulatory scrutiny. Using a hand‐collected data set of politically connected US initial public offerings (IPOs), we investigate how this tension shapes the financial reporting incentives of firms going public and the accompanying direct compliance costs. Consistent with the agency view of corporate political activism (CPA), politically active IPO issuers have worse financial reporting quality, more litigation risk and eventually pay 28% more accounting fees than their peers. Additional analysis exploiting the US Supreme Court's landmark ruling on Citizens United versus Federal Election Commission suggests that the link between CPA and IPO accounting fees is likely to be causal. Finally, our evidence indicates that the involvement of specialized financial intermediaries in the political process has implications for the IPO financial reporting quality.
Generalist CEOs, management risk and internal control weaknesses
Authors: Xu Xiaolu 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between CEOs’ general ability and the quality of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). Using a sample of S&P 1500 firms in the United States from 2004 to 2015, I find that firms with generalist (specialist) CEOs are more (less) likely to report internal control weaknesses under Section 404 of Sarbanes‐Oxley Act of 2002 (ICW404). The positive relationship between generalist CEOs and ICW404 is weaker when the management risk is lower (longer CEO tenure). These results are robust to alternative models and approaches to address potential endogeneity issues. Additional analyses suggest that this positive relationship is attributed to generalist CEOs’ excessive risk taking. Furthermore, CEO type is related to company‐wide ICW404, ICW404 due to staffing, complexity and general issues, rather than account‐specific ICW404 or ICW404 due to revenue recognition issues. Drawing from the Upper Echelons Theory, this study contributes to the research on ICFR quality by documenting CEO type as an additional determinant of ICW404. It highlights the importance of investors, auditors and regulators considering the CEO's career experience and operating style when assessing a firm's internal control environment. It also adds to the literature on general managerial ability by documenting the cost of hiring generalist CEOs regarding ICFR quality.

AbstractIntroductionAcne is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit in which Cutibacterium acnes is one of the main triggers. A strong predominance of C. acnes phylotype IA1 is present in acne skin with higher biofilm organization and virulence, promoting local immuno‐inflammation, especially the Th17 pathway.ObjectivesWe evaluated the single and combined pharmacological properties of the plant extracts, Myrtus communis (Myrtacine®) and Celastrol enriched plant cell culture (CEE) extracts on the C. acnes/Th17 pathway.MethodsThe effect of Myrtacine® on the virulence of C. acnes phylotype IA1 was quantified according to the expression of several related genes. The activity of Myrtacine® and CEE on the inflammatory cascade was assessed using monocytes‐derived dendritic cells (Mo‐DC) stimulated with membranes or biofilms of the C. acnes phylotype IA1. Finally, the effect of CEE on the Th17 pathway was studied using C. acnes stimulated sebocyte 2D cultures and 3D skin tissue models containing preactivated Th17 cells.ResultsMyrtacine® had an anti‐virulence effect, evident as a significant and strong inhibition of the expression of several virulence factor genes by 60%–95% compared to untreated controls. Myrtacine® and CEE significantly inhibited proinflammatory cytokine (IL‐6, IL‐8, IL‐12p40 and TNF‐α) production by Mo‐DC in response to C. acnes phylotype IA1. Interestingly, these two ingredients resulted in synergistic inhibition of most cytokines when used in combination. Finally, we demonstrated an inhibitory effect of CEE, in solution or formulated at 0.3%, specifically on IL‐17 release by Th17 lymphocytes in a C. acnes‐stimulated sebocyte 2D cultures and by Th17‐lymphocytes integrated in a 3D skin models.Conclusions2D and 3D models were developed to represent relevant and specific pathways involved in acne. Myrtacine® and CEE were shown to alter one or more of these pathways, indicating their potential beneficial effects on this disease.
Does the famine experience of board chair hamper innovation?
Authors: Jebran Khalil , Yang Zhen , Chen Shihua , Ali Syed Tauseef 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study examines whether and how the famine experiences of board chairs influence the innovation of their firms. Results using a sample comprising 8882 firm‐year observations from Chinese firms during the period 2003 to 2017 reveal that the board chair's famine experience has a negative effect on innovation. This negative effect is strengthened by famine intensity and high uncertainty. The obtained results are robust to alternative measures, endogeneity issues, omitted variables, and sample selection bias. Additional analyses showed that the relationship between board chair's famine experience and innovation is mediated by cash holdings and R&D investment. The overall results contribute to imprinting theory by explaining that early‐life famine experiences of board chairs create survival threat imprints among them, eventually affecting their later‐life behaviors. The findings also provide implications by highlighting how the early‐life traumatic experiences of executives adversely influence their firms outcomes.
Does the presentation reform of R&D expenses in China ease financial constraints in corporate innovation?
Authors: li Zhou , liu Bin , Liu Yuanyuan 
Published: February 2023

AbstractFocusing on a sample of 9387 observations in China over the period 2016−2019, this paper empirically examines whether the presentation reform of R&D expenses that is changed from notes to income statements, mitigates corporate financial constraints of Chinese listed companies. Findings offer evidence that the financial constraints of firms decrease after the policy change, which is owing to the alleviation of information asymmetry. Further analysis reveals that the effect of the presentation reform on financial constraints is less prominent among companies that are state‐owned, audited by the “Big four” and of higher institutional ownership. Overall, our study provides evidence supporting the influences of the format reform of financial reports and has implications for information users, regulators, and standard setters.
Antiretroviral treatment reveals a novel role for lysosomes in oligodendrocyte maturation

Published: January 2023

AbstractWhite matter deficits are a common neuropathologic finding in neurologic disorders, including HIV‐associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). In HAND, the persistence of white matter alterations despite suppressive antiretroviral (ARV) therapy suggests that ARVs may be directly contributing to these impairments. Here, we report that a frontline ARV, bictegravir (BIC), significantly attenuates remyelination following cuprizone‐mediated demyelination, a model that recapitulates acute demyelination, but has no impact on already formed mature myelin. Mechanistic studies utilizing primary rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) revealed that treatment with BIC leads to significant decrease in mature oligodendrocytes accompanied by lysosomal deacidification and impairment of lysosomal degradative capacity with no alterations in lysosomal membrane permeability or total lysosome number. Activation of the endolysosomal cation channel TRPML1 prevents both lysosomal deacidification and impairment of oligodendrocyte differentiation by BIC. Lastly, we show that deacidification of lysosomes by compounds that raise lysosomal pH is sufficient to prevent maturation of oligodendrocytes. Overall, this study has uncovered a critical role for lysosomal acidification in modulating oligodendrocyte function and has implications for neurologic diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction and white matter abnormalities.image

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundOral licen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease and may have immunological background. Both intralesional injection of PRP and steroids succeeded in treating and decreasing recurrence of the disease.Patients and MethodsTwenty‐four participants with clinically diagnosed as OLP were enrolled in this study. We separated the patients in 2 groups, 12 patients in group A were treated by intralesional PRP every two weeks for 2 months or stopped if healing occurred earlier. Group B (12 patients) treated by intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) (20 mg) every two weeks for 2 months or may be less if healing occurred earlier. The response of OLP lesions to treatment was evaluated by reduction of lesional areas, REU scores, and NRS scores. The patients with complete response (CR; 80%–100% reduction in the lesion area) were followed for 3 months biweekly.ResultsThere was a statistically significant decrease in REU and pain score in both groups after treatment compared to before. There was a statistically increase in frequency of side effects among patients received PRP especially pain compared to those treated by steroid. Also, recurrence of the disease after treatment during follow‐up for 3 months was more significant among patients treated by PRP.ConclusionIntralesional PRP is a good and safe modality for treatment of OLP and intralesional TA. However, there were some side effects and recurrence of disease after follow‐up for three months in patients treated by PRP more than those treated by TA.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of broadband light (BBL) combined with intradermal injection of tranexamic acid for treating melasma.Methods120 women with melasma admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to April 2022 were randomly categorized into the following groups: control group, treated with 250 mg tranexamic acid given orally twice daily, except during menstruation; group I, treated with BBL (Sciton, Inc., USA) monthly; group II, received intradermal injections of tranexamic acid monthly; and group III, treated with BBL with intradermal injection of tranexamic acid monthly. Treatment in each group lasted three months. The MASI (Melasma Area Severity Index) and VISIA (Canfield VISIA Complexion Analysis) were used for evaluation.ResultsAfter treatment course, MASI scores and VISIA brown spot and red zone ranking improved in all four groups (p < 0.05). The decrease in MASI scores and improvement rates of VISIA brown spot and red zone rankings were not significantly different among the control group, group I, and group II; however, the decreased MASI scores and improvement rates of VISIA brown spot and red zone rankings were significantly higher in group III than in the other three groups (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe effect of BBL combined with the intradermal injection of TA in the treatment of melasma is remarkable. This combination therapy can be an alternative and effective treatment for managing melasma.
