Miscategorized subset‐knowers: Five‐ and six‐knowers can compare only the numbers they know
Authors: Krajcsi Attila , Reynvoet Bert 
Published: July 2023

AbstractInitial acquisition of the first symbolic numbers is measured with the Give a Number (GaN) task. According to the classic method, it is assumed that children who know only 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the GaN task, (termed separately one‐, two‐, three‐, and four‐knowers, or collectively subset‐knowers) have only a limited conceptual understanding of numbers. On the other hand, it is assumed that children who know larger numbers understand the fundamental properties of numbers (termed cardinality‐principle‐knowers), even if they do not know all the numbers as measured with the GaN task, that are in their counting list (e.g., five‐ or six‐knowers). We argue that this practice may not be well‐established. To validate this categorization method, here, the performances of groups with different GaN performances were measured separately in a symbolic comparison task. It was found that similar to one to four‐knowers, five‐, six‐, and so forth, knowers can compare only the numbers that they know in the GaN task. We conclude that five‐, six‐, and so forth, knowers are subset‐knowers because their conceptual understanding of numbers is fundamentally limited. We argue that knowledge of the cardinality principle should be identified with stricter criteria compared to the current practice in the literature.Research Highlights
Children who know numbers larger than 4 in the Give a Number (GaN) task are usually assumed to have a fundamental conceptual understanding of numbers.
We tested children who know numbers larger than 4 but who do not know all the numbers in their counting list to see whether they compare numbers more similar to children who know only small numbers in the GaN task or to children who have more firm number knowledge.
Five‐, six‐, and so forth, knowers can compare only the numbers they know in the GaN task, similar to the performance of the one, two, three, and four‐knowers.
We argue that these children have a limited conceptual understanding of numbers and that previous works may have miscategorized them.

External information seeking and organizational ambidexterity in SMEs: Does empowerment climate matter?
Authors: Bérard Céline , Cloutier L. Martin 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAccess to external information is considered crucial to achieving organizational ambidexterity (OA) while presenting specific challenges for SMEs due to their limited resources. However, little is known about how SMEs can best benefit from their external information‐seeking activities for OA purposes, given specific organizational practices. Our paper addresses this research gap by analyzing the effects of external information seeking (i.e., environmental scanning and external managerial networking) on OA while considering the moderating role of empowerment climate in SMEs. Based on a survey administered to CEOs of 1439 French manufacturing SMEs, our main results indicate that empowerment climate positively moderates the effect of scanning breadth on OA but negatively moderates the effect of networking depth. This suggests that SMEs should emphasize external information‐seeking activities that are appropriate to their level of empowerment climate so that the positive effects on OA can be fully realized.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether hydrogen‐rich bath has therapeutic effect on psoriasis and its molecular mechanism. Mice with imiquimod‐induced psoriasis were established and divided into groups. The mice were respectively treated with hydrogen‐rich water bath and distilled water bath. The changes of skin lesions and PSI scores of mice were compared after their treatments. HE staining was used to observe the pathological feature. The changes of inflammatory indexes and immune factors were analysed by ELISA and immunohistochemical staining. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was measured by the thiobarbituric assay (TBA) method. By naked eye, the severity of skin lesions in hydrogen‐rich water bath group was lower than that in distilled water bath group, and the psoriasis severity index (PSI) was lower (p < 0.01). The results of HE staining showed that the mice with distilled water bath had more abnormal keratosis, thickening of the spinous layer and prolongation of the dermal process, and more Munro abscess than the mice with hydrogen‐rich water bath. During the course of disease, the overall levels and peaks of IL‐17, IL‐23, TNF‐α, CD3+ and MDA in mice with hydrogen‐rich bath were lower than those in mice with distilled water bath (p < 0.05). In the skin, the mice treated with the hydrogen‐rich water bath also had lower peak of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels. It is concluded that hydrogen‐rich water bath can inhibit psoriasis inflammation and oxidative stress, relieve psoriasis skin lesions and accelerate the end of abnormal skin proliferation state, which shows a therapeutic and improving effect on psoriasis.

Abstract

Riverine floodplains serve as an important link between terrestrial and aquatic systems, as the rising and falling of water drive spatial food web subsidies that are critical to the functioning and stability of ecosystems. As these systems are increasingly impacted by hydrological alterations and climate change, it is important to understand how floodplain spatial food web subsidies may respond to changing environmental conditions.

Here, we examine the interannual variation in the structure of a sunfish (Lepomis spp.) prey subsidy from freshwater marshes into the mangrove‐lined creeks of Rookery Branch in the Florida Coastal Everglades that occurs during seasonal dry downs. We evaluate how the structure of this subsidy relates to prior temperature and hydrological regimes based on a 16‐year electrofishing dataset. We also characterise the intra‐annual relationship between marsh water depths and sunfish migration patterns that underlie this subsidy.

We found that interannual variation in the abundance and diversity of the sunfish prey subsidy was best explained by the minimum water temperature occurring within 90 days prior to peak abundance sampling periods, with lower minimum water temperatures associated with higher sunfish abundance and diversity. In contrast, interannual variations in the biomass of the sunfish prey subsidy were positively related to marsh flooding duration over 30 cm depth during the prior wet season. Intra‐annual models estimated peak sunfish abundance and biomass values in riverine habitats to occur during the transition between wet and dry periods when marsh depths are between 10 and 15 cm.

Multivariate analysis of community abundance and biomass composition revealed that minimum water temperatures played an important role in structuring the prey subsidy, while the effect of flooding duration was weak. These results provide important insight into how floodplain prey subsidies may be altered under future climate and hydrological regimes and inform ecosystem‐based water management decisions.
Automated Estimation of Aquifer Parameters from Arbitrary‐Rate Pumping Tests in Python and MATLAB
Authors: Benson David A. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractInspired by the analysis by Mishra et al. (2012) of variable pumping rate tests using piecewise‐linear reconstructions of the pumping history, this article contains a derivation of the convolutional form of pumping tests in which the pumping history may take any possible form. The solution is very similar to the classical Theis (1935) equation but uses the Green's function for a pumped aquifer given by taking the time derivative of the well function . This eliminates one integration inside another and renders the convolution including the pumping history about as computationally demanding as calculating the well function alone, so that the convolution can be completed using handy mathematical software. It also allows nonlinear well losses, and because an easily‐computed deterministic model exists for all data points and pumping history, an objective function may include all data, so that errors are reduced in calculating any nonlinear‐well losses. In addition, data from multiple observation wells may be used simultaneously in the inversion. We provide codes in MATLAB and Python to solve for drawdown resulting from an arbitrary pumping history and compute the optimal aquifer parameters to fit the data. We find that the subtleties in parameter dependencies and constructing an appropriate objective function have a substantial effect on the interpreted parameters. Furthermore, the optimization from step‐drawdown tests is typically nonunique and strongly suggests that a Bayesian inversion should be used to fully estimate the joint probability density of the parameter vector.

AbstractBackgroundInflammatory biomarkers are potentially useful targets for pulpal diagnostic tests that can identify pulp status and predict vital pulp treatment (VPT) outcome, however, their accuracy is unknown.Objectives(1) Calculate sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of previously investigated pulpitic biomarkers; (2) Determine if biomarker levels discriminate between clinical diagnoses of pulpitis based on the presence or absence of spontaneous pain (3) Evaluate if biomarker level can predict VPT outcome.MethodsSearches: PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid SP, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus in May 2023. Inclusion: prospective and retrospective observational studies and randomized trials. Participants were humans with vital permanent teeth and a well‐defined pulpal diagnosis. Exclusion: deciduous teeth, in vitro and animal studies. Risk of bias was assessed with modified‐Downs and Black quality assessment checklist. Meta‐analysis was performed using bivariate random effect model in Meta‐DiSc 2.0 and RevMan and the quality of the evidence was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation.ResultsFifty‐six studies were selected, reporting >70 individual biomolecules investigating pulpal health and disease at the gene and protein level. Most studies were of low and fair quality. Among the biomolecules investigated, IL‐8 and IL‐6 demonstrated a level of diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity, specificity and DOR to discriminate between healthy pulps and those exhibiting spontaneous pain suggestive of IRP (low‐certainty evidence). However, none was shown to have high DOR and the ability to discriminate between pulpitic states (very low certainty evidence). Limited data suggests high levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 correlate with poorer outcomes of full pulpotomy.DiscussionThe inability of identified molecular inflammatory markers to discriminate between dental pulps with spontaneous and non‐spontaneous pain should shift the focus to improved study quality or the pursuit of other molecules potentially associated with healing and repair.ConclusionsLow‐quality evidence suggests IL‐8 and IL‐6 demonstrated level of diagnostic accuracy to discriminate between healthy pulps and those exhibiting spontaneous pain. There is a need for standardized biomarker diagnostic and prognostic studies focusing on solutions that can accurately determine the degree of pulp inflammation.RegistrationPROSPERO CRD42021259305.
LABOR SUPPLY IN THE EXTENDED HOUSEHOLD: ECONOMIES OF SCALE, SELF‐SELECTION, AND THE INTRAHOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES IN SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Donni Olivier , Badaoui Eliane El 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article studies labor supply in the extended household (composed of two families living together). The extended household structure affects the incentives to work of household members for at least three reasons: economies of scale, cash transfers between the families living in the extended household, and easier childcare arrangements. We develop a structural model incorporating these components and taking into account the self‐selection process into extended households. We then estimate this model with South African data and provide an explanation for the differences in participation rates between nuclear and extended households.
Investigation on consumer perception and acceptance of wheat beer using sorted napping and rate‐all‐that‐apply (RATA) questions

Published: July 2023

SummaryThis study aimed to investigate consumer perceptions and acceptance of wheat beer products. Twelve samples were evaluated using the sorted napping (SN) (n = 44) to classify them based on similarity, and the samples were divided into six groups. Based on the SN results, six representative samples with different attributes were used for further consumer testing. The consumers (n = 102) rated the likings, and the intensities of the attributes were evaluated using rate‐all‐that‐apply (RATA) questions. Although the six samples were classified into different segments by SN, no difference was found in consumer acceptance. For the segmentation of consumer groups by their liking patterns of the samples, the consumers were divided into three clusters. Interestingly, the intensities of most of the RATA terms did not differ by cluster; however, the intensities of very few RATA terms were evaluated differently by cluster. In particular, S6 in Cluster 3, which had the lowest acceptability among the samples, was relatively high in bitterness and alcohol flavour. Characteristics such as bitterness and alcohol flavour, which can be affected by personal traits (e.g. sensitivity to bitterness), were related to the drivers of dislike for wheat beer products.

Published: July 2023

AbstractAimTo explore the impact and interrelated pathway of work environment, career adaptability, and social support on the transition process and outcomes among new nurses.BackgroundThe transition issue affecting new nurses has been discussed for many decades. However, the exact interplay of various factors influencing the transition process and outcomes needs further exploration.MethodsA cross‐sectional, descriptive survey design was employed, and a convenient sample of 1628 new nurses from 22 tertiary hospitals in China was surveyed between November 2018 and October 2019. Mediation model analysis was used to analyze the data, and the STROBE checklist was used to report the study.FindingsThe transition status mediated the effects of work environment, career adaptability and social support, and had a significantly positive influence on their intention to remain and job satisfaction. Among the influencing factors, the work environment had the most significant positive impact on both the intention to remain and job satisfaction.ConclusionWork environment was found to be the most significant factor affecting both the transition status and outcomes of new nurses. The transition status played an important mediating role between the influencing factors and the transition outcomes, whereas career adaptability was found to mediate the impact of social support and work environment in the transition process.Implications for nursing and nursing policiesThe results underscore the critical role of the work environment and demonstrate the mediating effects of transition status and career adaptability in the transition process of new nurses. Therefore, dynamic evaluation of the transition status should serve as the foundation for developing targeted supportive interventions. Such interventions should also focus on enhancing career adaptability and fostering a supportive work environment to facilitate the transition of new nurses.

AbstractAimTo explore hospital managers' perceptions of the Rapid Response Team.DesignAn explorative qualitative study using semi‐structured individual interviews.MethodsIn September 2019, a qualitative interview study including nineteen hospital managers at three managerial levels in acute care hospitals was conducted. Interview transcripts were analysed with an inductive content analysis approach, involving researcher triangulation in data collection and analysis processes.FindingsOne theme, ‘A resource with untapped potential, enhancing patient safety, high‐quality nursing, and organisational cohesion’ was identified and underpinned by six categories and 30 sub‐categories.ConclusionThe Rapid Response Team has an influence on the organization that goes beyond the team's original purpose. It strengthens the organization's dynamic cohesion by providing clinical support to nurses and facilitating learning, communication and collaboration across the hospital. Managers lack engagement in the team, including local key data to guide future quality improvement processes.ImplicationsFor organizations, nursing, and patients to benefit from the team to its full potential, managerial engagement seems crucial.ImpactThis study addressed possible challenges to using the Rapid Response Team optimally and found that hospital managers perceived this complex healthcare intervention as beneficial to patient safety and nursing quality, but lacked factual insight into the team's deliverances. The research impacts patient safety pointing at the need to re‐organize managerial involvement in the function and development of the Rapid Response Team and System.Reporting MethodWe have adhered to the COREQ checklist when reporting this study.“No Patient or Public Contribution”
Clinical metabolic monitoring to inform metabolic dysregulation in sepsis
Authors: Graham Julie‐Kathryn , Nasser Emily R. , Jenkins Danisha , Quillin‐Mcewan Molly , Kelley Christina 
Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to offer further evidence of the utility of metabolic monitoring in early recognition of sepsis. Metabolic derangement in sepsis is of increasing interest. Sepsis was redefined as a dysregulated host response to infection, and studies have since emerged advising that disrupted metabolic pathways in sepsis may interfere with the host's ability to convert oxygen to useable energy. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is a metabolic monitoring technology that measures oxygen consumption (V02) and resting energy expenditure (REE). IC offers clinically important, specific information in terms of patient's metabolic state and has been shown to differentiate patients with sepsis from those without. Additionally, IC is more specific than predictive equations used as the established standard for clinical nutrition.Research Methods and ProceduresData for this retrospective descriptive study were obtained from chart review of records of critically ill patients who received metabolic monitoring while under the care of the nutrition support team. Data were retrieved from January through March of 2020. The cases included were from January 2018 through January 2020. Variables included key demographics, sepsis diagnosis and specific metabolic variables of cellular respiration and energy expenditure.ResultsFor this all‐male sample (N = 56), mean age was 56 years (±17.5). Significant differences were noted in V02 between the two groups of cases (sepsis and non‐sepsis); (p = .026, Cohen's d = 0.618); and REE (p = .032, Cohen's d = 0.607). A strong association was found between V02 and sepsis (Eta 0.981). REE as measured by IC was statistically more specific than predictive equation (p < .001, Cohen's d = 0.527).ConclusionsVO2 and REE were significantly altered in subjects with sepsis in this study, demonstrating that IC may be a useful tool in identifying sepsis. This study was based on an earlier pilot which yielded similar results. Indirect calorimetry can be easily performed clinically, offering specific metabolic information that can be helpful in the determination of a diagnosis of sepsis.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution to this manuscript. The study design, analysis of retrospective data, and manuscript preparation were completed entirely by the authors.Implications for Clinicians

Sepsis remains one of the number one killers of hospitalized patients globally

Current means of identifying sepsis remain overly sensitive and under‐specific, making recognition of sepsis challenging for Emergency Clinicians

Metabolic monitoring can be done easily in the clinical setting by nurses and respiratory therapists.

Metabolic monitoring has the capability of offering further information specific to the identification of sepsis, and to further understanding of the altered metabolic phenotype of patients with sepsis
