Do products branded with handwritten scripts suffer more amid product-harm crises?
Authors: Bai Rubing , Ma Baolong , Hu Zhichen , Wang Hong 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore whether products branded with handwritten scripts suffer more from the effects of product-harm crises than other brands. Most studies on handwritten scripts focus on their positive effects, such as humanizing a product or creating an emotional tie with consumers. However, seldom have researchers investigated the negative effects of handwritten scripts. This paper goes some way to filling this gap.

Design/methodology/approach
Five experimental studies were conducted to test three hypotheses. These experiments provide evidence of the negative effects of handwritten scripts. In addition, they reveal the mechanisms that lead to these outcomes and outline the boundary conditions of the negative effects.

Findings
Framed by attribution theory, three conclusions can be drawn from the experiments: when a product-harm crisis occurs, consumers react with greater negativity toward the brand using handwritten scripts than to those using machine typefaces. The negative effect is explained by a serial mediation process that follows the pattern: typeface → perceived humanization → brand responsibility → brand attitude. The negative effect decreases when the crisis is perceived to be an accident.

Originality/value
This paper enriches the theory of marketing in terms of both handwritten scripts and product-harm crises, providing valuable guidance for enterprises that use handwritten scripts in their marketing activities.
It's about the type of career: The political ambition gender gap among youth wing members

Published: October 2022

AbstractOne of the main supply‐side explanations for women's underrepresentation in politics is the gender gap in nascent political ambition. While this has been examined in terms of electoral ambition, the aspiration to pursue non‐electoral careers within parties has been overlooked. In our study, we therefore investigate whether both types of ambition – electoral and non‐electoral – vary among young women and men participating in a key entry point for political careers in Western democracies: party youth wings. To do so, we surveyed almost 2,000 members of six centre‐left and centre‐right youth wings in Australia, Italy and Spain. We find that while, as expected, women in youth wings display lower levels of electoral ambition, they are almost as likely as men to express non‐electoral ambition. Furthermore, and contrary to our expectations, we show that women in centre‐right youth wings are no less interested in pursuing electoral and non‐electoral political careers than women in centre‐left ones. Our study thus provides new insights into the gendered nature of political ambition, highlighting that women's lower interest in electoral office does not necessarily reflect reduced interest in a political career.

AbstractPulsed electric field (PEF) and osmotic dehydration (OD) pretreatment can accelerate the time‐consuming drying process and minimize its high energy demands. The effect of PEF and OD pre‐processing conditions and osmotic solution composition on mass transfer kinetics (water loss, solid gain, water activity) and quality properties (color, texture, total sensory quality) during OD and subsequent air‐drying (AD) of pumpkin was studied. Application of PEF (2.0 kV/cm–1500 pulses) significantly enhanced mass transfer during subsequent air‐drying (increased effective diffusivity coefficient Des and drying rate kdrying, respectively). PEF and OD treatments led to a significant reduction of the processing time by 12 and 10%, respectively (p < 0.05). The maximum reduction of processing time by 27% (p < 0.05) (compared to untreated sample) resulted in combined use of PEF and OD as pretreatments prior to AD. When PEF pretreatment was combined with OD prior to AD, the corresponding energy was by 50% less than the respective energy required for nonprocessed samples.Practical ApplicationPulsed electric fields (PEF) and osmotic dehydration (OD) can be applied for the production of air‐dried pumpkin cuts of superior quality (in terms of quality and sensory characteristics) and reduced energy requirements (as a result of total processing time decrease).

AbstractZooplankton play a key role in aquatic ecosystems constituting an essential intermediate component in aquatic food webs. Cladocerans in particular are widely studied as model of generalist filter feeders. At the regional level, the cladoceran Daphnia spinulata is found in numerous habitats with wide conductivity range (160 μS cm−1 to 14.000 μS cm−1), but information about the species's tolerance range or life history is scarce. Our objective was to generate essential information about D. spinulata's life history and the main parameters related to two contrasting salinity levels representative of water bodies of the pampean plain. Results obtained in laboratory bioassays showed that individuals at low conductivity (700 μS cm−1) had more moults, a lower mortality and a higher life expectancy at birth, a higher generation time, and an earlier peak density than those at high‐conductivity treatments (5000 μS cm−1). The maximum density reached was similar for both conductivities indicating a similar growth capability attained by different strategies. Moreover, the results indicated that D. spinulata at different conductivities was able to reproduce, with the offspring thus contributing to population growth. This study provided a knowledge of the life history strategies of this endemic cladoceran at two different conductivities, thus generating crucial information on the population dynamics and for evaluating the species's role as a possible salinity indicator in pampean water bodies. Nevertheless, future investigations will be necessary in order to identify the absolute limits of tolerance and the optimum conductivity for this species and determinate which stressors will act as a mictic stimuli.

Published: October 2022

AbstractSpatial synchrony occurs when the abundance of populations in different locations rise and fall together. This pattern is caused mainly by dispersal and spatially correlated environmental stochasticity. The levels of spatial synchrony can vary between species, yet little is known about which species traits can explain this interspecific variation. In addition, traits may have different degrees of influence on spatial synchrony levels because of their differences in plasticity. We hypothesized that conservative traits—reproductive and morphological—will best explain interspecific variation in synchrony, while those that may vary according to the environment—feeding and habitat preference—will be weakly related to this interspecific variation. We evaluated the spatial synchrony of freshwater fish species in a highly fragmented river in the Neotropical region and related the levels of synchrony to seven predictors: diet, reproductive traits (migration, fecundation, parental care and spawning), position in the water column, niche breadth, body size, body shape and average temporal occurrence of each species. The fish species showed low levels of spatial synchrony but a high interspecific variation (correlation values ranging from −0.11 to 0.41). We found that this variation was mainly related to species' reproductive traits, that is, sedentary species with partial spawning and without parental care had higher mean spatial synchrony than species with the opposite characteristics. In contrast, more plastic traits (diet and habitat preferences) were poor predictors of mean spatial synchrony. We speculate that, despite the low spatial synchrony found, if extreme impacts continue to occur in the basin at the regional scale, it may negatively affect local fish populations in a synchronous manner, resulting in increased risk of simultaneous declines.

AbstractObjectivePerinatal emotional well‐being is more than the presence or absence of depressive and anxiety disorders; it encompasses a wide range of factors that contribute to emotional well‐being. This study compares perinatal well‐being between women living in metropolitan and rural regions.DesignProspective, longitudinal cohort.Participants/settingEight hundred and six women from Victoria and Western Australia recruited before 20 weeks of pregnancy and followed up to 12 months postpartum.Main outcome measuresRurality was assessed using the Modified Monash Model (MM Model) with 578 in metropolitan cities MM1, 185 in regional and large rural towns MM2‐MM3 and 43 in rural to remote MM4‐MM7. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV (SCID‐IV) was administered at recruitment to assess depression, and symptoms of depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Post‐natal Depression Scale and the State and Trait Anxiety Scale, respectively. Other measures included stressful events, diet, exercise, partner support, parenting and sleep.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive disorders did not differ across rurality. There was also no difference in breastfeeding cessation, exercise, sleep or partner support. Women living in rural communities and who also had depression reported significantly higher parenting stress than metropolitan women and lower access to parenting activities.ConclusionsOur study suggests while many of the challenges of the perinatal period were shared between women in all areas, there were important differences in parenting stress and access to activities. Furthermore, these findings suggest that guidelines and interventions designed for perinatal mental health should consider rurality.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe predictive role of sperm motility and morphology was recently detected in a large sample of more than 20000 assisted reproductive technology (ART) fresh cycles. However, the complete ART procedure consisted of both fresh and frozen‐embryos transfers and only a comprehensive evaluation of the entire process could really confirm if these parameters really predict the ART success. The aim of the study was to evaluate which sperm parameter could predict the success of ART.MethodsA retrospective, real‐world data analysis was performed, enrolling all couples attending ART from 2008 to 2021, including both fresh and frozen cycles and both in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra‐cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures.ResultsFresh cycles success (considering live birth rate) was predicted by female age (1.04 [1.02–1.06]), injected oocytes (0.96 [0.93–0.99]), embryo number (0.79 [0.75–0.83]) and progressive sperm motility (0.98 [0.97‐0.99]). On the contrary, frozen cycle outcomes were predicted only by sperm motility (0.97 [0.95–0.99]). This prediction was confirmed in IVF but not in ICSI cycles.ConclusionBoth female and male parameters predicted the ART success considering the entire path. However, frozen cycle success was predicted only by progressive sperm motility in IVF cycles, suggesting that the potential amelioration of this male parameter is relevant to improve ART success. Those couples expected to obtain the highest embryos after fertilization (low female age and better semen parameters) will have more attempts with frozen cycles and thus would benefit from a potential treatment focused to improve sperm parameters.
Health professionals' experiences with the PEDI‐UG: What do Ugandan occupational therapists say about the utility and value of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI‐UG) for children with disabilities?

AbstractBackgroundThe Uganda version of Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI‐UG) was culturally adapted and validated from the PEDI‐US, a tool used to evaluate the functional capability of children with or without disability aged 6 months to 7.5 years in the areas of self‐care, mobility and social domains. A group of Ugandan occupational therapists with experience of using PEDI‐UG participated in this study to explore the question: What do Ugandan occupational therapists say about the utility and value of the PEDI‐UG for children with disabilities?MethodsA qualitative research design was chosen to explore the participants' viewpoints concerning the utility and value of the PEDI‐UG for children with disabilities. Purposive sampling was used to recruit health professionals for the focus group discussions. Focus group discussions were carried out with 18 occupational therapists and nurses. Thematic analysis was performed to establish patterns and themes.ResultsSeveral challenges concerning the contextual use of PEDI‐UG were reported. For example, PEDI‐UG being culturally adapted in two languages (English and Luganda) makes it difficult for health professionals to use it for children whose caregivers are non‐English or non‐Luganda speakers. In addition, participants reported adapting the way they asked the assessment questions, struggling with how they interpreted the scores and observing the child's skills if required during PEDI‐UG interviews with caregivers.ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that health professionals are challenged with the use of the PEDI‐UG assessment in diverse cultural contexts and/or languages. These challenges are important considerations for the PEDI‐UG translation in different Uganda cultural languages and training health professionals on the use and value of PEDI‐UG for children with disabilities.

ZusammenfassungHintergrund und ZieleEine asymmetrische Verteilung von Melanomen zugunsten der linken Körperhälfte wurde wiederholt beschrieben.Patienten und MethodikIn einer prospektiven Querschnittstudie untersuchten wir bei 702 Patienten einer dermatologischen Klinik die Verteilung melanozytärer Nävi zwischen der linken und der rechten Körperhälfte. Außerdem bestimmten wir retrospektiv das Verhältnis von links zu rechts (L/R) von primären Melanomen, Lymphknotenmetastasen und Nävi in Sentinel‐Lymphknoten (SN) bei 2004 konsekutiven Melanomfällen.ErgebnisseDie L/R‐Ratios für kutane Nävi und Melanome betrugen 1,23 (95 %‐Konfidenzintervall [KI] 1,12–1,36) sowie 1,6 (95 %‐KI 1,37–1,88). Sowohl bei kutanen Nävi als auch bei Melanomen wurde der Linksüberschuss hauptsächlich in intermittierend lichtexponierter Haut gefunden. In der Nävuspopulation waren 92,4 % Rechtshänder. Die Tumordicke nach Breslow und die Ulzerationsrate waren bei linksseitigen oder rechtsseitigen primären Melanomen ähnlich.SchlussfolgerungenMelanozytäre Nävi und Melanome sind numerisch häufiger auf der linken Körperhälfte zu finden. Wir nehmen asymmetrische Sonneneinstrahlung als ursächlich an. Die große Mehrheit der Rechtshänder könnte ihre Körperhaltung bei Aktivitäten im Freien unbewusst so ausrichteten, dass das Licht von links einfällt. Dadurch wird der Schattenwurf durch den dominanten Arm, die Schulter oder den Kopf vermieden.

Published: October 2022

ZusammenfassungHumane Herpesviren gehören zu den DNA‐Viren und zählen zu den häufigsten Erregern viraler Infektionen beim Menschen. Nach der Primärinfektion mit einem dieser Viren kommt es typischerweise zur Latenz mit dem Potenzial späterer Reaktivierungen, die häufiger symptomatisch sind und zum Arztbesuch führen als die Primärinfektion. In der täglichen Praxis sind Infektionen mit dem Herpes‐simplex‐Virus (HSV) und dem Varizella‐zoster‐Virus (VZV) am häufigsten vertreten. Sofern HSV‐Primärinfektionen klinisch manifest werden, gehen sie häufig mit Allgemeinsymptomen einher. HSV‐Reaktivierungen verlaufen meist harmlos und selbstlimitierend und präsentieren sich als gruppierte Bläschen auf erythematösen Grund (herpetiform). Die VZV‐Primärinfektion führt zum klinischen Bild der Varizellen (Windpocken). Bei Immunsuppression kann es zu komplizierten (nekrotisierenden, ulzerierenden, hämorrhagischen, generalisierten) Verläufen kommen. Die VZV‐Reaktivierung manifestiert sich klinisch als Herpes zoster (Gürtelrose) und kann mit starken akuten Schmerzen einhergehen.Die Diagnosestellung erfolgt meist klinisch. Therapeutisch stehen Topika und systemische Virostatika zur Verfügung. Das adäquate therapeutische Management umfasst das Erkennen und Behandeln von Komplikationen wie der möglichen Beteiligung weiterer Organsysteme und Schmerzen. Eine Infektion in der Schwangerschaft kann zur Übertragung auf das ungeborene Kind führen.

AbstractPsoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by abnormal proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes (KCs), angiogenesis and skin inflammation. Transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) are tRNA‐derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), which possess regulatory functions in many diseases. Their potential roles in the pathological development of psoriasis have not been established. We first identified differentially expressed (DE) tRFs from psoriatic skin lesions using small RNA sequencing, and collected additional clinical samples for validation. Then, we investigated the function and mechanism of target tRFs in vitro. As a result of our investigation: we identified 234 DE transcripts in psoriatic skin lesions compared with normal controls. Further functional analysis showed the downregulation of tRF‐Ile‐AAT‐019 in psoriatic lesions plays a critical role in pathogenesis since it could target 3′UTR of the serine protease serpin protein E1 (SERPINE1) gene. We next demonstrated that tRF‐Ile‐AAT‐019 could suppress SERPINE1, thus leading to decreased expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor but increased expressions of keratinocytes (KCs) differentiation markers including Keratin1 and Involucrin. In conclusion, tRF‐Ile‐AAT‐019 plays a protective role in the pathological progression of psoriasis via targeting SERPINE1, resulting in regulation of KCs differentiation and vascular proliferation biomarkers and providing a potential novel targeting pathway for the disease treatment.
Congruence couple therapy for alcohol use and gambling disorders with comorbidities (part II): Targeted areas and mechanisms of change

Published: October 2022

AbstractStudy of change mechanisms is important to advance theory development and to reveal the active components that make a critical difference in treatment. Improved outcomes in a randomized controlled trial that favored Congruence Couple Therapy (CCT) vs individual‐based Treatment‐as‐Usual (TAU) were correlated within each group. Partial correlations were used to test for mediation effects. The aggregate correlation coefficient of improved variables in addiction and mental health, couple adjustment, emotion regulation (ER) and life stress was moderate for CCT and weak for TAU. CCT showed greater number of mediating effects among improved variables than TAU. The prominence of the process mechanism of improved ER with its mediating effects for addiction and psychiatric symptoms evidenced in both groups is noteworthy, but ER improvement was significantly associated with improved couple adjustment only in CCT. Reduction in life stress in CCT was associated with a broader range of improvements in CCT compared to TAU. Correlation patterns were substantiated by CCT participants’ endorsement of treatment targets emphasizing relationship, communication, emotion, problem solving, addiction and intergenerational issues of trauma. TAU participants reported significantly lower endorsements for these treatment targets. The correlation of ER and couple adjustment suggested as a key process mechanism should be further elucidated in future studies to differentiate relationship‐based vs individual‐based models and their respective outcomes for primary clients and partners. These findings are considered preliminary, requiring larger samples and advanced modelling among variables to provide a more profound mechanism analysis.
Central bank independence in Latin America: Politicization and de‐delegation
Authors: Bodea Cristina , Garriga Ana Carolina 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn the last three decades, legal delegation of monetary policy to independent central banks (CBI) has achieved the status of a global norm of good governance. The recent backlash against this independence is an important but understudied trend. Our article analyzes the potential for delegation reversals with a focus on Latin America where CBI was effective in maintaining price stability, but placed important policy constraints on governments. We theorize that, in the shadow of the global norm for CBI, the increasing distance in preferences between the government and the central bank, and the procedural hurdles to change the status quo, explain the intensity of challenges to the delegation contract or the delegated agent. An analysis of the frequency of irregular central bank leadership replacements, and instances of politicization and de‐delegation show the plausibility of our argument. We also show that, in Latin America, reforms de‐delegating monetary policy have been small, balancing the needs that justified delegation in the first place, but rolling back the most stringent constraints placed on financing the government.
