AbstractThe sea surface microlayer (SSML) is critical to air-sea exchanges of gases and primary aerosols. However, despite the extent of this boundary layer, little is known about its specific bacterial community (bacterioneuston) and how it may affect ocean-atmosphere exchanges. Here, we studied the bacterial community composition in the surface waters of three different basins of the Western Mediterranean Sea and assessed the selective air-sea transfer of marine bacteria through experimental nascent sea spray aerosol production in a 10 L tank with plunging jets. In situ, the bacterioneuston harbored basin-specific enriched taxa and followed a similar spatial pattern as the underlying bacterioplankton community. Aerosolization potential showed that sea spray taxa might be recruited from both the underlying water and the SSML, and that taxa enriched in the bacterioneuston were not always aerosolized. Our results suggest that the Mediterranean nutrient gradient, as well as pulse events such as dust deposition, affect the distribution of the bacterial community at the ocean-atmosphere interface, which may impact biogeochemical processes, climate regulation and bacterial dispersal through aerosolization.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe basic computations performed in the human early visual cortex are the foundation for visual perception. While we know a lot about these computations, a key missing piece is how the coding of visual features relates to our perception of the environment. To investigate visual feature coding, interactions, and their relationship to human perception, we investigated neural responses and perceptual similarity judgements to a large set of visual stimuli that varied parametrically along four feature dimensions. We measured neural responses using electroencephalography (N=16) to 256 grating stimuli that varied in orientation, spatial frequency, contrast, and colour. We then mapped the response profiles of the neural coding of each visual feature and their interactions, and related these to independently obtained behavioural judgements of stimulus similarity. The results confirmed fundamental principles of feature coding in the visual system, such that all four features were processed simultaneously but differed in their dynamics, and there was distinctive conjunction coding for different combinations of features in the neural responses. Importantly, modelling of the behaviour revealed that every stimulus feature contributed to perceptual judgements, despite the untargeted nature of the behavioural task. Further, the relationship between neural coding and behaviour was evident from initial processing stages, signifying that the fundamental features, not just their interactions, contribute to perception. This study highlights the importance of understanding how feature coding progresses through the visual hierarchy and the relationship between different stages of processing and perception.Author summaryThis study investigates the foundational computations in the human early visual cortex that underlie visual perception. Using electroencephalography (EEG), neural responses to 256 grating stimuli with variations in orientation, spatial frequency, contrast, and colour were measured in 16 participants. We explored how the neural coding of these visual features and their interactions relate to perceptual similarity judgments. Results confirmed simultaneous processing of all four features with distinct dynamics, revealing conjunction coding for various feature combinations. Behavioural modelling demonstrated that each stimulus feature contributes to perceptual judgments. This work emphasizes the significance of understanding feature coding progression through the visual hierarchy and its relationship to perception from early processing stages.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe frequency and severity of floods has increased in different regions of the world due to climate change. Although the impact of floods on human health has been extensively studied, the increase in the segments of the population that are likely to be impacted by floods in the future makes it necessary to examine how adaptation measures impact the mental health of individuals affected by these natural disasters. The goal of this scoping review is to document the existing studies on flood adaptation measures and their impact on the mental health of affected populations, in order to identify the best preventive strategies as well as limitations that deserve further exploration. This study employed the methodology of the PRISMA-ScR extension for scoping reviews to systematically search the databases Medline and Web of Science to identify studies that examined the impact of adaptation measures on the mental health of flood victims. The database queries resulted in a total of 857 records from both databases. Following two rounds of screening, 9 studies were included for full-text analysis. Most of the analyzed studies sought to identify the factors that drive resilience in flood victims, particularly in the context of social capital (6 studies), whereas the remaining studies analyzed the impact of external interventions on the mental health of flood victims, either from preventive or post-disaster measures (3 studies). There is a very limited number of studies that analyze the impact of adaptation measures on the mental health of populations and individuals affected by floods, which complicates the generalizability of their findings. There is a need for public health policies and guidelines for the development of flood adaptation measures that adequately consider a social component that can be used to support the mental health of flood victims.

AbstractThe high-risk clones ofAcinetobacter baumannii, called international clones (ICs), span several ICs, IC1 to IC7 being the most reported. Among them, IC2 represents the main lineage causing outbreaks worldwide. IC2 presents a great diversity of sub-lineages with different sequence types (ST). Despite successful global spread, the occurrence of IC2 is rarely reported in Latin America, including Brazil. Here, through genomic analysis, we investigated 16 IC2/ST2 strains obtained from a clinical setting in Brazil (2022). These strains represented carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii(CRAB) with an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) profile, with most showing some resistance to tigecycline. Overall, these strains showed susceptibility only to polymyxins, thus leading to restricted therapeutic choices. Based onin silicoanalysis, the relationship between Brazilian CRAB genomes and IC2/ST2 genomes circulating in the world, particularly in South America, was established. The Brazilian IC2 strains belonged to three discrete and distinct sub-lineages, being more associated with IC2/ST2 genomes from countries in Europe, North America and Asia, suggesting their epidemiological link. These Brazilian strains were characterized by the co-presence ofblaOXA-23 andblaOXA-66, in addition to the genes APH(6), APH(3”), ANT(3”), AAC(6’),armA, and the efflux pumpsadeABC andadeIJK, associated with the XDR/CRAB phenotype. Furthermore, the three sub-lineages presented three distinct capsules, KL7, KL9 and KL56, the latter not yet associated with IC2 genomes. A large set of virulence genes was also identified in the genomes:adeFGH/efflux pump, the siderophoresbarAB,basABCDFGHIJ andbauBCDEF,lpxABCDLM/capsule,tssABCDEFGIKLM/T6SS,pgaABCD/biofilm.

SummaryQuiescence is a common cellular state, required for stem-cell maintenance and microorganismal survival under stress conditions or starvation. However, the mechanisms promoting quiescence maintenance remain poorly known. Plasma membrane components segregate into distinct microdomains, yet the role of this compartmentalization in quiescence remains unexplored. Here, we show that Flavodoxin-like proteins (FLPs), ubiquinone reductases of the yeast eisosome membrane compartment, protect quiescent cells from lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Eisosomes and FLPs expand specifically in respiratory-active quiescent cells, and mutants lacking either show accelerated aging, defective quiescence maintenance, and accumulate peroxidized phospholipids with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). FLPs are essential for the extra-mitochondrial regeneration of the lipophilic antioxidant ubiquinol. FLPs, alongside the Gpx1/2/3 glutathione peroxidases, prevent iron-driven, PUFA-dependent ferroptotic cell death. Our work is the first description of ferroptosis-protective mechanisms in yeast and introduces plasma membrane compartmentalization as an important factor for the long-term survival of quiescent cells.

AbstractThe activity of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) is fine-tuned by the phosphorylation status of the MLCP target subunit 1 (MYPT1), which is determined by the antagonistic effects of Rho kinase (ROCK) and cAMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinases (PKA and PKG). PKA is composed of two regulatory (PKA-R, of which four variants exist) and two catalytic (PKAcat) subunits. PKA is targeted to the vicinity of its substrates by binding to A kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). MYPT1 is part of a complex signaling node that includes kinases and other enzymes involved in signal transduction. We hypothesized that MYPT1 might function as an AKAP to target PKA to the MLCP signaling node. Using a combination of immunoprecipitation, affinity pulldown andin situproximity ligation assay (PLA) in human platelets and endothelial cells, we show that MYPT1 directly interacts with all four PKA-R variants and mapped the interaction to a 200 residues long central region of MYPT1. The interaction does not involve the docking and dimerization domain of PKA-R typically required for binding to AKAPs. Using peptide array overlay we identified K595, E676 and the PKA/ROCK kinase substrate motif R693/R694/S695/T696 as critical for the interaction. Substitution of S695, T696 or both by aspartic acid or the corresponding phosphorylated residue abolished binding. Our findings reveal that MYPT1 functions as a non-canonical AKAP to anchor PKA to the vicinity of non-phosphorylated S695/T696, where PKA-R would prevent PKAcat, and potentially also ROCK, from interacting with and phosphorylating MYPT1.

AbstractThe evolutionarily conserved Crumbs (CRB) polarity complex, which consists of the core components CRB3a, PALS1 and PATJ, plays a key role in epithelial cell-cell contact formation and cell polarization. Recently we observed that deletion of onePals1allele in mice results in functional haploinsufficiency characterized by renal cysts. To address the role of PALS1 at the cellular level, we generated PALS1 knockout MDCKII cell lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The loss of PALS1 resulted in increased paracellular permeability indicative of an epithelial barrier defect. This barrier defect was associated with a redistribution of several tight junction-associated proteins from bicellular cell-cell contacts to tricellular junctions. The regulation of tight junction protein localization at bicellular junctions by PALS1 was dependent on its interaction with PATJ. Together, our data uncover a critical role of PALS1 in the correct positioning of tight junction proteins to bicellular junctions.

Published: April 2023

PurposeThis study's purpose is to explore the difference in employee voice behavior along with its modalities and employee perceived control in a remote vs an in-office work situation.Design/methodology/approachEmployees who worked remotely and in-person at a local municipal government in the Great Lakes Region of the United States were surveyed.Findings Findings suggest voice behavior and perceived control are stable attitudes and not impacted by a move from in-person to remote work. Participants indicated both Zoom staff meetings and Zoom one-to-one meetings with their supervisor were important; however, only Zoom one-to-one meetings with the supervisor were indicated to be satisfactory.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that organizations considering moving some of their operations to a fully remote work situation would not experience differences in employee voice or perceived control. Implications related to utilizing specific communication modalities are also discussed.Originality/valueThis is the only study that focuses on differences in employee voice, its modalities and perceived control comparing in-person vs remote work.
Listening to strangers more than friends: how recommendations from close- (vs distant-) others influence consumption
Authors: Dong Meichen , Saini Ritesh 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate how recommendations from close- versus distant-others influence consumer preferences. This paper explores how the consumption setting (public vs private) differentially affects the relative weight given to recommendations from these two sources.

Design/methodology/approach
Through five scenario-based experiments and an internal meta-analysis, this paper examines whether consumers are more likely to follow recommendations from distant- (vs close-) others in public consumption settings. As a test of the underlying process, this study also investigates the mediating role of distinctiveness-signaling motivation in why consumers overweight recommendations from distant others in public settings, and the moderating role of atypical product design.

Findings
The findings of this study support the hypothesis that recommendations from distant-others have a greater impact on consumer preferences in public consumption contexts, as opposed to recommendations from close-others. This result can be attributed to the heightened salience of consumers’ distinctiveness-signaling motives in public consumption contexts, leading them to prioritize exhibiting uniqueness over conforming to close-others’ recommendations. However, this study also reveals that the presence of alternative sources of distinctiveness, such as atypically designed products, can mitigate this effect, leading consumers to seek conformity to close-others’ recommendations even in public consumption contexts.

Research limitations/implications
This research did not look into the possible culture impact on the nonconforming consumption behavior. Previous research indicates that in collectivist cultures, nonconformity and distinctiveness are valued less (Kim and Drolet, 2003). This may imply that even with provoked signaling motives, collectivist consumers may not exhibit divergence from close-others. In fact, they may do the exact opposite and possibly become even more conforming to recommendations from close-others.

Practical implications
This research shed light on the business practice regarding word-of-mouth (WOM). Specifically, this research results suggest that for publicly consumed product, companies may need to seek a nontraditional WOM and use less WOM from consumer’s close-others.

Originality/value
Marketers often use referrals and recommendations from close-others to shape consumers’ preferences. In contrast, this study shows that for publicly consumed products, consumers may diverge from conforming to their close-others.
Cultural communication differences in initial public offering documentation: the case of China
Authors: Irizarry Quintero Anamari , Rodríguez Ramírez Javier , Villafañe-Rodríguez Camille 
Published: April 2023

PurposeWritten communication differences across cultures can set the tone for effective or disastrous business relationships. Although English has been the go-to language in business, managers from different countries can significantly differ in how they convey the firms' information. This study explored these differences by examining the documentation presented by foreign corporations as part of their initial public offering (IPO) in the USA, particularly Chinese firms.Design/methodology/approachThis work examined cultural-related differences in written communications by looking at foreign corporations' descriptions of their strengths, strategies and challenges included in F-1 documents submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the IPO process. The sample consisted of 97 American depositary receipts (ADRs) identified in the Bank of New York Mellon's ADR directory from 2003 to 2015.FindingsThis study found that Chinese firms significantly differ from other countries' firms in depicting their strengths, strategies and challenges.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations have to do with the sample size. Future research may address this by considering other depositary markets, not just the USA.Originality/valueThe results will be significant for potential ADRs investors; they must be conscious of these differences in the written documentation submitted by Chinese firms compared to other foreign firms. The market should also be aware of these differences, as the Chinese seem less open to sharing information about the under spinning of their operations and financial prospects.

Community-based model of tourism development in a biosphere reserve context
Authors: Darvishmotevali Mahlagha , Rasoolimanesh S. Mostafa , Dorbeiki Mazdak 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This study aims to introduce and evaluate a model of host community support for sustainable tourism development (SSTD) based on the influential factors contributing to community support in a biosphere reserve.

Design/methodology/approach
Partial least squares structural equation modeling using SmartPLS 3 software is applied to analyze data collected from 473 residents of the Miankaleh Biosphere Reserve, Iran.

Findings
The findings reveal that the locals’ community support is affected by their level of environmental awareness, opportunity and attitudes toward SSTD. However, the results do not reveal an influence of environmental knowledge and community attachment on SSTD. The findings enrich the existing literature on community attitude predictors by showing that locals’ SSTD level is not consistently based on common predictors. Such support strongly depends on host communities’ attitudes toward supporting tourism, which is definitely not the same among residents. It is imperative to know whether people’s attitudes arise from a desire to protect the area or for reasons of self-interest.

Originality/value
The findings provide further support for the tenets of the segmentation approach and challenge existing knowledge on host communities’ attitudes about factors influencing residents toward SSTD. The findings have several practical implications regarding community participation for regional and national authorities and destination policymakers.
