Mood induction through imitation of full‐body movements with different affective intentions
Authors: Schmidt Eva‐Madeleine , Smith Rebecca A. , Fernández Andrés , Emmermann Birte , Christensen Julia F. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractTheories of human emotion, including some emotion embodiment theories, suggest that our moods and affective states are reflected in the movements of our bodies. We used the reverse process for mood regulation; modulate body movements to regulate mood. Dancing is a type of full‐body movement characterized by affective expressivity and, hence, offers the possibility to express different affective states through the same movement sequences. We tested whether the repeated imitation of a dancer performing two simple full‐body dance movement sequences with different affective expressivity (happy or sad) could change mood states. Computer‐based systems, using avatars as dance models to imitate, offer a series of advantages such as independence from physical contact and location. Therefore, we compared mood induction effects in two conditions: participants were asked to imitate dance movements from one of the two avatars showing: (a) videos of a human dancer model or (b) videos of a robot dancer model. The mood induction was successful for both happy and sad imitations, regardless of condition (human vs. robot avatar dance model). Moreover, the magnitude of happy mood induction and how much participants liked the task predicted work‐related motivation after the mood induction. We conclude that mood regulation through dance movements is possible and beneficial in the work context.

Abstract
Insect biological control agents may be released in relatively few locations; thus, the rate of spread is critical to predicting the spatial distribution of the agent.
Exotic dung beetles have been introduced into Australia since the 1960s to bury dung, reduce bush fly populations, increase pasture productivity and improve livestock health.
We use a stochastic cellular automata model to predict the historical occupancy and abundance of introduced dung beetles in the South West agricultural region of Western Australia. The model predicts the spread of four species of dung beetles in six‐month time steps for 10 years following initial release. Our model includes release locations, species‐specific ecological parameters, dung resource availability and weather variables.
The average rate of spread varied between species from a high of ca. 79 km/year (Euoniticellus intermedius) to a low of 28 km/year (Onthophagus taurus). Thus, after 10 years, the area of spread varied between 99,175 and 34,175 km2 and abundance varied from 88,100 to 4,189 beetles/km2.
These findings provide an estimate of the spread patterns of dung beetles. The model can be used to guide future dung beetle release programmes in Australia and elsewhere.

AbstractObjectivesWe aimed to quantify the risk of death following a positive test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) among individuals with haematological malignancies, stratified by virus variants and type of malignancy.MethodsUsing the Danish nationwide registries, we conducted a population‐based cohort study among individuals who received a discharge diagnosis of haematological malignancies during the 5 years prior to testing positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 (February 2020–April 2023). All individuals were followed for 30 days after a positive test, and overall and time‐stratified case fatality risks (CFR) were estimated.ResultsWe identified 7154 individuals with a history of haematological malignancies who tested positive for SARS‐CoV‐2. Among these, we observed 223 deaths, yielding a CFR of 3.1%. The CFR was highest at the beginning of the pandemic (10%) and gradually declined to 1.9% during the period of Omicron BA1/BA2 predominance. The highest CFR was observed among individuals with acute leukaemia (CFR 6.2%, adjusted relative risk 1.95, 95% confidence interval 1.33–2.88) compared to individuals with lymphoma (CFR 3%).ConclusionsWe observed a reduction in the CFR over time, which may be attributed to new treatments, COVID‐19 vaccination and the emergence of less aggressive variants.

Published: September 2023

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that involves the development of programs designed to replicate human cognitive processes and the analysis of complex data. In dermatology, which is predominantly a visual‐based diagnostic field, AI has become increasingly important in improving professional processes, particularly in the diagnosis of psoriasis. In this review, we summarized current AI applications in psoriasis: (i) diagnosis, including identification, classification, lesion segmentation, lesion severity and area scoring; (ii) treatment, including prediction treatment efficiency and prediction candidate drugs; (iii) management, including e‐health and preventive medicine. Key challenges and future aspects of AI in psoriasis were also discussed, in hope of providing potential directions for future studies.
Effect of texture evolution and defect on the crack initiation of a Ni‐based superalloy electron beam welded joint

Published: September 2023

AbstractElectron beam welding (EBW), a high‐quality and precise joining process, is widely used in aerospace manufacturing. In this study, through in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) fatigue experiments and X‐ray computed tomography (CT) scanning technology, we revealed the fatigue crack initiation and propagation mechanism in GH4169 superalloy EBW joints under different post‐welding heat treatment conditions. The welded pores have a decisive effect on the fatigue properties of direct aging treatment welded joints. Fatigue cracks initiate from pore defects on the surface or in the subsurface. Due to the heterogeneous microstructure in weld seam, fatigue cracks tend to grow along the primary dendrite axis and secondary dendrite arms. Besides, in homogenization and aging treatment specimen, intergranular fatigue cracks tend to nucleate in the slip zone of large grains and twin boundaries. Although homogenization treatment can eliminate segregation, it also results in significant grain growth in both weld seam and base material.
Negotiating work, family, and traffic: Articulations of married women's employment decisions in Greater Jakarta
Authors: Setyonaluri Diahhadi , Utomo Ariane 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe international literature on women and work calls on scholars to consider geographical, sociocultural, and institutional contexts governing women's employment dynamics over their life course. In Indonesia (and other lower middle‐income regions in Southeast Asia), female labor force participation is lower in urban areas than rural areas. The largest drop‐off occurs after marriage and childbearing. In this article, we argue that class and spatial context matters in examining the relationship between gender norms, gendered mobilities, and employment outcomes in mega‐urban settings. Using qualitative research, we probe beyond conventional demographic studies to explore the dynamics of married women's (decisions to stay, leave, change, or return to) employment in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia's largest urban core. Our participants were discouraged from employment participation by norms that prioritize married women's role as primary caregivers, and spatial and workplace/regulatory constraints. Our analysis underscores how the participants' employment‐related decisions consistently revolve around the concept of opportunity costs, defined as conflicts and tensions arise from mother's time away from children due to gender norms, lack of childcare and flexible formal employment options, and the long working and commuting hours in Greater Jakarta. Economic pressures for women to participate in the labor market are not matched by work–family policies, which are still rooted in entrenched ideals of women as wives and mothers.
Exploring the influence of job demands and resources on organisational justice views in a sample of correctional staff
Authors: Lambert Eric G. , Solinas‐Saunders Monica , Hogan Nancy L. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study examined the influence of job demands (role ambiguity, role conflict, role overload and dangerousness) and job resources (job variety, supervisor structure and training views) on employee perceptions of procedural justice, general perceptions of distributive justice, and specific perceptions of distributive justice. Using a sample of 160 employees at a high‐security prison, the regression analyses found that only demands of role conflict was inversely correlated with procedural justice and both distributive justice measures. Role ambiguity was inversely related to procedural but was not related to either dimension of distributive justice. Furthermore, dangerousness was inversely associated with distributive justice (both general and specific), but it was not correlated with procedural justice. Among the job resources, job variety was positively associated with procedural and both distributive justice measures. Supervisor structure was predictive of procedural but not distributive justice. Role overload, and training views had non‐significant relationships with all the justice measures.
Recent developments on utilising diverse plant seed flours as novel functional ingredients for noodle formulation and their impact on quality attributes
Authors: Roobab Ume , Maqsood Sajid 
Published: September 2023

SummaryNoodles are popular food items in many cultures and are consumed by people of all ages worldwide. As consumers become more health conscious, there is an increased interest in incorporating nutritious and health‐promoting ingredients into traditional foods. Compared to wheat flour, which has a high total carbohydrate content and low protein quality, plant seed flour is rich in proteins, fibres and other essential nutrients. This review aimed to compare the nutritional value, cooking characteristics and sensory qualities of noodles made with various plant seed flours with those of traditional wheat flour‐based noodles. This review covers various types of seed flours from fruit and vegetable seeds, herbs and plants, oilseeds, cereal and pseudocereal seeds, legumes and edible seeds and examines how these flours affect the quality parameters of noodles, such as texture, colour, flavour and cooking time. The addition of plant‐based seed flours to noodles can enhance their nutritional value and offer healthier options for consumers. However, it is crucial to consider the effects of these flours on noodle quality to ensure that the final product meets consumers' expectations. The addition of seed flour to functional noodles is of significant scientific and practical importance because it can help reduce food waste, enhance nutrition and provide functional benefits to the final product.
The contribution of informal learning in the integration process of immigrants into the labour market: Individual and organisational perspectives in selected sectors
Authors: Annen Silvia 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn Germany and Canada, the integration of immigrants into the labour market is closely related to the various approaches towards the recognition and validation of informal learning. This paper aims to analyse the informal learning measures undertaken by immigrants as well as those offered by employers in the health and information and communication technology sectors during the labour market integration process. The study focused on nurses as well as IT project managers and programmers. The comparison focuses on the occurrence and quality of the four dimensions of the dynamic model of informal learning from an individual and an organisation perspective. The results show similarities between these two perspectives regarding the relevance of the four dimensions in the integration of immigrants into the labour market. In addition, clear differences between the two investigated sectors as well as country‐specific differences appear.
Emancipation really matters: Why family firms might be a preferable choice for Syrian refugees in Egypt? An exploratory study
Authors: Mousa Mohamed , Abdelgaffar Hala 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study explores the relations within the current broader literature on migration and entrepreneurship and specifically investigates the extent to which Syrian refugees in Egypt prefer to establish family businesses and why. A qualitative research method is employed by conducting semi‐structured interviews with 45 Syrian partner/managers of micro, small and medium‐sized family businesses in Egypt. Thematic analysis was used to determine the main ideas in the interview transcripts. Syrian refugees in Egypt were found to prefer to establish family businesses. And the following were considered to be the main antecedents of such preference: action resources (economic challenges and poor salaries in the host country; refugee financial insolvency; refugees' limited social network), emancipation values (refugees' trust in working with each other; refugees' intention to pay back the support/gratitude perceived from the host country) and civic entitlement (governmental support to family businesses).
A facility location problem for extracurricular workshop planning: bi‐level model and metaheuristics
Authors: Polino Sahori , Camacho‐Vallejo José‐Fernando , Villegas Juan G. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper presents a facility location problem with capacitated multiservice facilities in which the allocation of the users is based on their preferences. The problem arises from an educational program, where a government agency or a nongovernmental organization (NGO) offers extracurricular workshops to elementary school students. These workshops promote the development of academic, social, or cultural skills of the students. This problem is formulated as a bi‐level program. The government/NGO is associated with the upper level, which aims to minimize the costs for opening workshops in different schools and the costs of allocating students to each workshop. The lower level is related to the students and seeks to optimize their global preferences for the offered workshops. To solve this problem, we propose a single‐level reformulation and two metaheuristics (a path‐relinking metaheuristic (PRM) and an iterated local search (ILS) procedure). The best performing method is the PRM that generates saturated initial random solutions following a drop heuristic approach. After different phases of improvement (with drop and exchange heuristics), the solutions undergo a path‐relinking procedure. The trajectory between the initial solution and the best solution found so far is explored using a randomized backward path‐relinking strategy that thoroughly explores the neighborhood of the best solution. Computational experimentation indicates that the proposed PRM metaheuristic is effective and efficient. The results obtained provide better upper bounds in shorter running times than the ones obtained by the single‐level reformulation or the ILS procedure. Finally, the application to a realistic case study of Apodaca municipality in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, shows that large‐scale instances can be solved efficiently using the proposed metaheuristic.
The efficacy of utility functions for multicriteria hospital case‐mix planning
Authors: Burdett Robert L. , Corry Paul , Yarlagadda Prasad , Cook David , Birgan Sean 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA new approach to perform hospital case‐mix planning (CMP) is introduced in this article. Our multicriteria approach utilizes utility functions (UF) to articulate the preferences and standpoint of independent decision makers regarding outputs. The primary aim of this article is to test whether a utility functions method (UFM) based on the scalarization of aforesaid UF is an appropriate quantitative technique to (i) distribute hospital resources to different operating units and (ii) provide a better capacity allocation and case mix. Our approach is motivated by the need to provide a method able to evaluate the trade‐off between different stakeholders and objectives of hospitals. To the best of our knowledge, no such approach has been considered before in the literature. As we will later show, this idea addresses various technical limitations, weaknesses, and flaws in current CMP. The efficacy of the aforesaid approach is tested on a case study of a large tertiary hospital. Currently UF are not used by hospital managers, and real functions are unavailable, hence, 14 rational options are tested. Our exploratory analysis has provided important guidelines for the application of these UF. It indicates that these UF provide a valuable starting point for planners, managers, and executives of hospitals to impose their goals and aspirations. In conclusion, our approach may be better at identifying case mix that users want to treat and seems more capable of modeling the varying importance of different levels of output. Apart from finding desirable case mixes to consider, the approach can provide important insights via a sensitivity analysis of the parameters of each UF.
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty using the hyaluronic acid filler VYC‐25L: Safety and patient satisfaction in a retrospective analysis of 492 patients
Authors: Jalali Arash 
Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundAesthetic treatment of the nose with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is increasingly popular but carries a small risk of major complications. Large patient cohorts are required to better understand this risk.AimsTo evaluate safety and patient satisfaction in a large series of nonsurgical rhinoplasty treatments with the HA filler, VYC‐25L, in “real world” clinical practice.MethodsThis was a retrospective analysis of consecutive adult patients undergoing nonsurgical rhinoplasty with VYC‐25L by a single injector between January 2020 and July 2022. All patients received initial treatment (typically ~0.3–0.5 mL of filler) and touch‐up at 4–6 weeks (~0.1–0.3 mL). Safety data were collected throughout a mean follow‐up of 11.1 months. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the FACE‐Q Satisfaction with Nose and Satisfaction with Outcome questionnaires.ResultsA total of 492 patients were included (984 treatment sessions including touch‐ups). Of these, 467 (94.9%) were female and the mean age was 30.0 years. All treatments were associated with early transient edema; other adverse events included bruising (n = 123; 25%), residual asymmetry (n = 18; 3.7%), and suspected localized vascular occlusion (n = 3; 0.6%). The latter cases were easily resolved with hyaluronidase injection plus oral steroid and aspirin. No patients experienced infection, necrosis, blindness, lumps, granuloma, or delayed‐onset nodules. Mean Rasch‐transformed FACE‐Q scores were 90.2% for Satisfaction with Nose and 99.2% for Satisfaction with Outcome.ConclusionsIn a large cohort of patients treated in routine practice based on a systematic approach, nonsurgical rhinoplasty with VYC‐25L was safe and effective.
Tracing social connections in the Victorian Jewish Writers Project
Authors: Katzir Brandon , Katzir Lindsay 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn March 2022, we launched the Victorian Jewish Writers Project (VJWP), a digital collection of texts written by nineteenth‐century British Jews accompanied by short articles on significant authors, places, and events of the Anglo‐Jewish world. When we began building the collection in 2021, our conceptual framework was clear: Victorian Jewry is underrepresented both in Jewish Studies and Victorian Studies, so we would create a resource to supply primary texts and some analytical information to anyone interested. Despite our familiarity with archive theory, we considered our role in the project as little more than what Latour calls intermediaries, or “mere informants.” Yet, the process of digitizing and publicizing a canon, particularly a canon tied to a cultural heritage, is an inherently social act, and in this article we will explore the modes of social engagement inherent in creating and maintaining digital archives. In particular, we make use of Latour’s actor‐network theory to understand the relationships forged by archives in digital spaces.

Published: September 2023

AbstractPopulation‐scale genome resequencing of endangered animals may contribute to gaining an understanding of how genomes vary as population sizes become smaller, as well as the functional implications of such variation. In this study, we analysed structural variations and gene presence and absence variations in the genomes of population of the endangered crocodile lizards. We found that the frequencies of some genes showed significant differences between crocodile lizards in different regions, indicating the influence of environmental selection, as well as potential contributions from demography and isolation, in shaping gene presence and absence variations. The haplotype diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes was also found to differ among crocodile lizards inhabiting different regions. These findings indicate that well‐designed interbreeding of crocodile lizards from different regions may facilitate the exchange of genes between different lizard populations and increase the haplotype diversity of MHC genes, which may be beneficial for the survival of these lizards. Our findings in this study, based on differences in gene structural variation, provide new insights into genomic variation and may contribute to the conservation of endangered animals.
