Colliding without crashing – how a collision of perspectives creates innovation
Authors: Majekodunmi Jess 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
Before the author became the Director of the Human Sciences Studio, the author was aware of many studies that established the value of diverse teams – especially for innovation. In 2020, Robyn Brennaman claimed in this very journal that “the business case has long since closed about the critical importance and value of diversity in the workplace”. Brennaman reasoned that homogeneity impedes innovation, that innovation is a precondition for business competitiveness, and therefore diversity has strategic value. And yet a truly diverse team – one that includes identity diversity, academic diversity and cognitive diversity – is too hard to find. The author explores three lessons learned from working with a team of people who think so differently to one another. The purpose of this article is to explore how a collision of perspectives can create innovation.

Design/methodology/approach
A viewpoint article based on the author’s experience in Innovation and position as Director | Human Sciences Studio at Accenture and winner of the Team Leader Award (Sponsored by Fujitsu) at the 2022 FDM everywoman in Technology Awards.

Findings
The author explores three lessons learned from working with a team of people who think so differently to one another. The deluge of information is a messy delight. Sharing knowledge alerts us to the our blind spots. Humility and vulnerability are vital.

Experimental removal of extracellular egg‐associated microbes has long‐lasting effects for larval performance

Published: September 2022

Abstract

Maternally transmitted microbes are ubiquitous. In insects, maternal microbes can play a role in mediating the insect immune response. Less is known about how ecological factors, such as resource use, interact with maternal microbes to affect immunity.

In the context of a recent colonization of a novel host plant by the Melissa blue butterfly Lycaeides melissa, we investigated the interaction between host plant use and vertically transmitted, extracellular egg‐associated microbes in determining the strength of the insect immune response.

We reared larvae on two different host plant species: a native host Astragalus canadensis and a novel host Medicago sativa. Egg‐associated microbes were removed through a series of antimicrobial egg washes prior to hatching. Immune response was measured through three assays: standing phenoloxidase (PO), total PO and melanization.

We detected strong effects of microbial removal. Egg washing resulted in larvae with an increased immune response as measured by total PO—contrary to reports from other taxa. The effect of washing was especially strong for larvae consuming the native host plant.

This result may explain why consumption of the egg casing is not a universal behaviour in insects, due to negative effects on larval immunity.

Published: September 2022

AbstractIntroductionTo analyze the anticoagulation effect of different local infusion methods of citrate underwent continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients.MethodsThe study adopted a single‐centre retrospective design. Critically ill patients were divided into conventional group and modified group based on the infusion methods of citrate.ResultsThe modified group had a longer mean treatment time (67.67 ± 18.69  hours vs. 52.11 ± 24.26 hours, p = 0.007), a lower transmembrane pressure (147.77 ± 66.85 cm H2O vs. 200.63 ± 118.66 cm H2O, p = 0.038), fewer citrate bag replacements (1.43 ± 0.50 times vs. 10.60 ± 3.19 times, p < 0.001), and more steady ionized calcium at the venous end (0.35 ± 0.06 mmol/L vs. 0.40 ± 0.05 mmol/L, p = 0.006) compared to the conventional group patients, with statistically significant differences. The incidences of citrate accumulation and tubing coagulation were marginally lower in the modified group.ConclusionThe modified local citrate infusion method can prolong treatment time, while reducing both the nursing workload and the occurrence of citrate accumulation.

AbstractNowadays, large quantities of berries are still being dumped or used for composting and animal feeding. The objective of this study was to customize a technological design for appropriate valorization of blueberry pomace into a shelf‐life–stable, dark purple multifunctional ingredient, containing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei), by freeze‐drying. The main anthocyanins in blueberries freeze‐dried inoculated pomace are malvidin 3‐O‐glucoside, peonidin 3‐O‐glucoside, and cyanidin 3‐O‐glucoside. A viable cells content of 4.75×108 CFU/g DW was found after freeze‐drying and the ability of the freeze‐dried powder to inhibit the DPPH radical was 171.98 ± 1.73 mMol Trolox/g DW. The results obtained from CIElab analysis show a tendency to red and blue, characteristic of blueberry anthocyanins. The bioaccesibility of anthocyanins from blueberry powder was 37.8% and the probiotic survival rate after passing through the digestion process was 49.56%. The inhibitory potential of the obtained powder on α‐amylase, pancreatic lipase, and α‐glucosidase and tyrosinase was assessed. A significant antidiabetic potential of the powder was found, with IC50 values for α‐amylase of 2.61 ± 0.24 mg/ml and for α‐glucosidase of 1.37 ± 0.01 mg/ml, significantly lower when compared to corresponding drugs used in current practices. The powder also showed a significant potential to inhibit tyrosinase, supporting the hypothesis that the pomace resulting from juice and wine manufacturing may be successfully used to develop multifunctional ingredients with significant health benefits.Practical ApplicationNowadays, food scientists and industry are seeking technological alternatives to obtain functional ingredients, due to the global interest in translating and applying scientific knowledge to address consumers’ health issues. In our study, a freeze‐drying customized design involving the use of the blueberry pomace, pectin, and Lactobacillus casei was applied to develop an ingredient with multiple functions. Besides a remarkable color, the powder showed good antioxidant activity, in vitro cells viability, and inhibitory activity against some metabolic syndrome–associated enzymes.
Leveraging aid for trade to mobilize climate finance in the least developed countries
Authors: Adhikari Ratnakar 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe LDCs, which are not only highly vulnerable and least prepared to face climate‐related challenges but also resource‐strapped, can leverage AFT to mobilize climate finance. This, however, requires better appreciation of the need to enhance coordination, build capacity and achieve synergies between two important sources of development finance. Since this is an under researched area, this paper has made the attempt to fill the void by exploring, with the help of examples and where possible, various possibilities that exist. While indirect support for feasibility studies and project preparation can contribute to the foundational work in leveraging climate finance, direct support such as co‐financing, developing proof of concept or de‐risking projects to attract private investment, including through blended financing modality, is important to unlock the financing potential. At the same time, there is a need to maintain the right balance between mitigation and adaption when it comes to climate finance. One major limitation of the paper is that, in the interest of brevity, it narrowly focuses on select modalities and instruments such as development finance and private investment.
More than words: Geopolitics and language
Authors: Medby Ingrid A. , Thornton Pip 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this editorial introduction, we introduce the special section on Geopolitics and Language. We provide a brief overview of some of the ways in which geopolitical scholarship has engaged with themes of language to date, noting in particular the legacy of critical geopolitics – and indeed work that has emerged from its foundation. Further we discuss language itself, a concept we suggest is often implicit but rarely explicitly considered in geographical work. That is, despite rich bodies of work on, for example, the textual and discursive, there is still much to explore in the broader sense of the linguistic. This includes a growing body of work on speech and sound, translation, and decolonisation – all of which also point to the need to go further in geographical and geopolitical engagement with language. The aim of the paper, however, is finally to introduce the section's papers and their specific theoretical and empirical concerns. And this, we argue, is more than words of introduction but also an invitation – to further engagement and geopolitical curiosity.
Biases in reporting of adverse effects in clinical trials, and potential impact on safety assessments in systematic reviews and therapy guidelines
Authors: Westergren Tone , Narum Sigrid , Klemp Marianne 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundClinical trials are an important source of adverse effects data, including analyses in systematic reviews and recommendations in therapy guidelines. Trial publication bias may have profound effects on safety perceptions. This MiniReview presents and discusses biases in reporting of safety data in clinical trials and the implications for systematic reviews and guidelines.ObjectivesThe objectives of this work are to analyse risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in systemic corticosteroid trials and to assess adverse effects reporting in a fluoxetine trial in depression (Treatment for Adolescents With Depression Study [TADS]) and descriptions of adverse effects in adolescent depression therapy guidelines.MethodsWe performed literature reviews and descriptive analyse of clinical trials with corticosteroids, and publications from the TADS trial. Risk of gastrointestinal bleeding from corticosteroids was analysed by meta‐analysis.FindingsGastrointestinal bleeding definitions varied considerably between trials. The incidence was significantly increased in hospitalized, but not in ambulant, patients compared to placebo. We identified several biases concerning TADS safety reporting, including severity thresholds and nonpublication of most adverse effects data beyond the initial 12 weeks. Therapy guidelines on adolescent depression mentioned suicidality risk, but many failed to mention other adverse effects.ConclusionsWe identified several pitfalls in adverse effects reporting in clinical trials. These include heterogeneous disease definitions, reporting thresholds, and incomplete reporting. Trial bias may have great impact on risk assessments in systematic reviews and meta‐analyses.

AbstractObjectivesThe COVID‐19 pandemic presented both serious health threats and economic hardships, which were reflected in increased rates of mood and anxiety symptoms. We examined two separate distress domains, health worries and work distress, as predictors of mood and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, we considered whether these two domains might be uniquely associated with the development of dysfunctional beliefs, as a proposed mechanism to account for increased symptoms during the pandemic. Two separate models were considered to examine if associations remained stable through the first year of the pandemic.MethodsParticipants (N = 2152) were a representative sample of Florida adults. They completed online surveys at three waves: Wave 1 (April–May 2020), Wave 2 (May–June 2020), and Wave 3 (December–February 2021). Participants completed measures of COVID‐19 health worry and work distress, anxiety, and depression. They also reported their level of hopelessness and helplessness (indices of dysfunctional beliefs).ResultsIn an early pandemic model (Wave 1‐Wave 2), health worry directly and indirectly predicted anxiety and depression via dysfunctional beliefs. In contrast, work distress only indirectly predicted both outcomes. In a longer‐term model (Wave 2‐Wave 3), health worry had direct and indirect effects on downstream anxiety but not depression. Pandemic work distress had no effect on depression or dysfunctional beliefs; however, it was associated with less anxiety.ConclusionsAlthough health worry and work distress predicted later symptoms of anxiety and depression, they appeared to operate through different pathways. These findings provide guidance for the development of more effective interventions to reduce the impact of pandemics.

ObjectivesWe aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic extravascular stent in treatment of nutcracker syndrome by transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach.MethodsSeventy‐six patients with nutcracker syndrome were retrospectively enrolled from a tertiary referral center, and underwent transperitoneal (63 patients) or retroperitoneal (13 patients) laparoscopic extravascular stent from March 2011 to December 2020. Surgical parameters, complications, imaging and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed.ResultsAll procedures were successfully carried out without open conversion. The median operation time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital day were 120 (interquartile range [IQR]: 90–144) min, 20 (IQR: 10–30) ml, and 7 (IQR: 6–9) days. At a median follow‐up of 52 (range: 9–127) months, 60 (79%) patients had complete symptom resolution, 14 (18%) patients had significant symptom improvement, and 2 (3%) patients reported no symptom improvement. Ninety‐four percent (50/53) of hematuria, 91% (30/33) of proteinuria, and 89% (25/28) of flank/abdominal pain resolved after extravascular LRV stenting. No significant differences were detected in surgery parameters and recovery rates of clinical symptoms between two approaches (each p > 0.05). However, patients with transperitoneal approach need longer to achieve complete recovery compared with retroperitoneal approach (8.7 vs. 1.5 months, p = 0.016).ConclusionsLaparoscopic extravascular stent performed either transperitoneally or retroperitoneally is a feasible and effective option in treatment of nutcracker syndrome. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic extravascular stent required shorter time to achieve complete recovery, which should be considered whenever possible in surgical decision‐making.
Learning limb‐specific contingencies in early infancy
Authors: Sen Umay , Gredebäck Gustaf 
Published: September 2022

AbstractMost research with the mobile paradigm has the underlying assumption that young infants can selectively move the limb causing the contingent feedback from the mobile while avoiding irrelevant motor responses. Contrary to this long‐held belief, others have argued that such differentiation ability is not fully developed early in life. In the current study, we revisited the traditional mobile paradigm with a contemporary research approach (using high‐precision motion capture techniques, a yoked‐control design, and a large sample size) to investigate whether response differentiation ability emerges before 5 months of age. The data collected from 76 infants (aged between 115 and 159 days) revealed that infants can learn sensorimotor contingencies by increasing the movement of the connected leg relative to their baseline level. However, they did not differentially increase the movement of the leg causing an effect in the environment compared with that of other limbs. Our results illustrate that response differentiation ability emerges later than previously suggested.
Online versus face‐to‐face cheating: The prevalence of cheating behaviours during the pandemic compared to the pre‐pandemic among Turkish University students

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundDuring the COVID‐19 period, academics and higher education institutions have shown deep concern about academic integrity related to measurement and evaluation issues that have arisen in online education.ObjectivesTo address this concern, this paper examined the prevalence of cheating behaviour among university students before and during the pandemic by comparing self‐reported cheating behaviours of students and academics' perceived levels of cheating behaviours of their students.MethodsA correlational design was employed aligned with study objectives.Results and ConclusionsThe results indicate that although both groups reported a significant increase in cheating incidents in online education, instructors' perceived frequency of student cheating is remarkably greater than students' self‐report cheating incidents. Contrary to the perceptions of instructors and stakeholders in education, students did not report a very drastic cheating increase in online education during the pandemic. The strongest predictive power for online cheating behaviours was the cheating behaviours in face‐to‐face education. Whereas the sensitivity of institutions and course instructors toward cheating behaviour was negatively associated with cheating behaviours in face‐to‐face education, this situational factor did not show a significant effect in distance education. Regarding individual factors, we found a significant relationship between cheating behaviours and gender, discipline, whereas no significant relationship was found in terms of student GPA. Consequently, in order to minimize the threats to the validity of scores associated with cheating, faculty should be supported through faculty development programs and resources so that they can develop authentic assessment strategies for measuring higher‐order thinking skills.

AbstractBackgroundThis study sought to evaluate the short and midterm efficacy and safety of the novel very high power very short duration (vHPvSD) 90 W approach compared to HPSD 50 W for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation as well as reconnection patterns of 90 W ablations.Methods and ResultsConsecutive patients undergoing first AF ablation with vHPvSD (90 W; predefined ablation time of 3 s for posterior wall ablation and 4 s for anterior wall ablation) were compared to patients using HPSD (50 W; ablation index‐guided; AI 350 for posterior wall ablation, AI 450 for anterior wall ablation) retrospectively. A total of 84 patients (67.1 ± 9.8 years; 58% male; 47% paroxysmal AF) were included (42 with 90 W, 42 with 50 W) out of a propensity score‐matched cohort. 90 W ablations revealed shorter ablation times (10.5 ± 6.7 min vs. 17.4 ± 9.9 min; p = .001). No major complication occurred. 90 W ablations revealed lower first pass PVI rates (40% vs. 62%; p = .049) and higher AF recurrences during blanking period (38% vs. 12%; p = .007). After 12 months, both ablation approaches revealed comparable midterm outcomes (62% vs. 70%; log‐rank p = .452). In a multivariable Cox regression model, persistent AF (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.442, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.035–2.010, p = .031) and increased procedural duration (HR: 1.011, 95% CI: 1.005–1.017, p = .001) were identified as independent predictors of AF recurrence during follow‐up.ConclusionsAF ablation using 90 W vHPvSD reveals a similar safety profile compared to 50 W ablation with shorter ablation times. However, vHPvSD ablation was associated with lower rates of first‐pass isolations and increased AF recurrences during the blanking period. After 12 months, 90 W revealed comparable efficacy results to 50 W ablations in a nonrandomized, propensity‐matched comparison.

Published: September 2022

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to compare the environmental footprint of eight inter‐dental cleaning aids.Materials and MethodsA comparative life cycle analysis was conducted based on an individual person using inter‐dental cleaning aids every day for 5 years. The primary outcome was a life cycle impact assessment. This comprised of 16 discrete measures of environmental sustainability (known as impact categories), for example, greenhouse gas emissions (measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent, or kg CO2e), ozone layer depletion (measured in kilograms of chloroflurocarbon equivalent, or kg CFCe), and water use (measured in cubic metres). Secondary outcomes included normalized data, disability‐adjusted life years, and contribution analysis.ResultsInter‐dental cleaning using floss picks had the largest environmental footprint in 13 of 16 impact categories. Depending on the environmental impact category measured, the smallest environmental footprint came from daily inter‐dental cleaning with either bamboo inter‐dental brushes (five impact categories, including carbon footprint), replaceable head inter‐dental brushes (four impact categories), regular floss (three impact categories), sponge floss (three impact categories), and bamboo floss (one impact category).ConclusionsDaily cleaning with inter‐dental cleaning aids has an environmental footprint that varies depending on the product used. Clinicians should consider environmental impact alongside clinical need and cost when recommending inter‐dental cleaning aids to patients.
