HR specialists in the spotlight: aggregating popular culture representations to highlight the underlying occupational image
Authors: Bissola Rita , Imperatori Barbara 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study adopts the popular culture lens to investigate the collective understanding behind the human resources (HR) occupations.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical study analyzes 129 characters from 87 movies, television (TV) series, books and comics. The measurement model was tested using structural equation modeling and cluster analysis identified five HR representations in the popular culture.FindingsPopular culture reflects five HR representations: The Executor, the Hero, the Buddy, the Bore, and the Good-time person. Results suggest that public opinion pays scarce attention to the so-called HR “strategic position” while underlining the need for a more socially responsible HR approach.Originality/valueThe authors' study serves as a means for integrating past research on HR role and reputation, occupational image, self-identity and popular media. While most scholars have addressed popular culture as a single case and paid almost no attention to the HR domain, this article complements the literature by offering a fruitful way to distil HR summative popular culture representations, thus advocating for both a theoretical and a methodological contribution.
Optimal prototype design of dry textile electrode-based compression pants for surface electromyography measurements
Authors: Lee Hyojeong , Lee Yejin 
Published: October 2022

PurposeTo provide guidelines for the development of textile electrode compression pants that collect reliable signals during surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements and maintain a comfortable level of pressure.Design/methodology/approachTo increase skin adhesion, 12 textile electrode bands for biceps brachii were prepared according to a combination of variables, namely, the type of the textile electrode, the pressure level and the presence or absence of an electrolyte. The dry textile electrode adopted herein was developed in terms of the size and material of the contact area, and a new electrode design was proposed. After examining the optimal design conditions by measuring the sEMGs during isometric exercise of the biceps brachii, prototype pants were designed based on the design variables that gave the most promising evaluation results. The completed prototype pants were verified through isometric thigh muscle exercises.FindingsIt was confirmed that the textile electrode was capable of EMG measurement with an excellent signal quality. Upon considering the comfort of wearing the device and the cost efficiency of dry electrodes, prototype pants that adopted a fit relative to a light clothing pressure (i.e. thigh: 1.3–1.9 kPa), and combined both silicon and silver thread embroidery with a wide contact area for stability, were designed and their sEMG measurements were confirmed.Originality/valueIn this study, wearable clothing based on textile electrodes was developed to ensure a comfortable fit from the wearer's perspective, and a design method was proposed for the development of low-cost SmartWear electrodes and circuits.

PurposeThis study aimed to explore the relationships between school cost, school quality, and students' achievement in private schools in the UAE. Moreover, it also aimed to determine the extent to which socio-economic factors influence student outcomes.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative survey research design was employed by distributing a survey to students' parents in private schools (n = 400) who were selected randomly. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Therefore, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, linear regression, and multiple regression analysis were used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between the variables.FindingsA significant positive association was found between school costs and school quality. Furthermore, parents reported that their children's outcomes were significantly associated with the costs that they paid to schools. Additionally, school quality had a significant impact on students' achievement and explained approximately 38% of the variation in students' achievement. The results also demonstrated a significant association between school cost, parents' income, and students' outcomes.Originality/valueThis study explores the relationships between school cost, school quality, and students' achievements. Additionally, it examines the influence of socioeconomic factors on the relationships between the study variables. The context of this study is the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

AbstractBackgroundMany patients with polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) complicated by digital gangrene have poor outcomes and related research information is limited. Our aim is to identify the associated risk and prognostic factors in PAN patients with digital gangrene.Patients and MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 148 PAN patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from Octorber 2001 to December 2018. Forty‐seven (31.8%) PAN patients had digital gangrene. The average age was 40.4 ± 17.9 years.ResultsThe presence of digital gangrene was correlated with current smoking (P = .008, odds ratio [OR] 2.99, 95% CI, 1.33–6.73), eosinophil elevation (P = .003, OR 4.21, 95% CI, 1.62–10.91) and elevated leukocytes (P = .001, OR 4.26, 95% CI, 1.86–9.78). Thirty‐two (68.1%) gangrene patients received methylprednisolone pulse therapy and all of these patients were treated with cyclophosphamide. Nine patients suffered irreversible organ injury and 2 died. Survival analysis showed higher serum C‐reactive protein (CRP) was associated with poor prognosis in patients with gangrene (log‐rank P = 0.042 and generalized Wilcoxon P = .020).ConclusionsPAN patients with current smoking and eosinophil elevation were more prone to digital gangrene and a high serum CRP level predicted poor outcomes. The CRP level should be efficiently controlled to ensure a good prognosis.

Published: October 2022

ObjectivesTo develop a surgical technique to achieve greater depth of the neovaginal cavity in transgender patients undergoing scrotovaginoplasty, and to propose a method for restoring neovaginal integrity in case of lack of genital skin or reduction of the depth due to scarring after infections or ischaemic processes.MethodsEight patients were selected to undergo scrotovaginoplasty with scrotal graft and peritoneal flap augmentation in one operating session as a modification of Zhao's original technique. The age of the patients ranged from 25 to 65 years. The first step of the procedure was standard penile inversion vaginoplasty, avoiding suturing of the superior side of the skin cylinder. The skin cylinder was pushed into the abdominal cavity through the perineal access. Afterwards a laparoscopic/robotic approach was used: a single peritoneal flap was harvested from the posterior bladder surface, incised, dissected, pedicled on the neovaginal dome, overturned and and sutured all‐round to the neovagina. The sides were adapted to obtain a ‘cul‐de‐sac’.ResultsThe average operating time was 6 ± 1.5 h, and patients’ hospitalization lasted 6 days. There were no intra‐ or postoperative complications. Postoperative management was the same as that usually reported in BJUI for patients undergoing standard scrotovaginoplasty.ConclusionsThe use of this technique represents a good solution for increasing neovaginal depth by harvesting a large peritoneal vascularized flap, without significantly affecting postoperative management or increasing complications, as frequently observed using the colovaginoplasty technique.
Adaptive ankle impedance control for bipedal robotic upright balance

Published: October 2022

AbstractUpright balance control is a fundamental skill of bipedal robots for various tasks that are usually performed by human beings. Conventional robotic control is often realized by developing accurate dynamic models using a series of fixed torque‐ankle states, but their success is subject to accurate physical and kinematic models. This can be particularly challenging when external disturbing forces present, but this is common in unstructured robotic working environments, leading to ineffective robotic control. To address such limitation, this paper presents an adaptive ankle impedance control method with the support of the advances of adaptive fuzzy inference systems, by which the desired ankle torques are generated in real time to adaptively meet the dynamic control requirement. In particular, the control method is initialised with specific external disturbing forces first representing a general situation, which then evolves whilst performing in a real‐world working environment by acting on the feedback from the control system. This is implemented by initialising a rule base for a typical situation, and then allowing the rule base to evolve to specific robotic working environments. This closed loop feedback and action mechanism timely and effectively configures the control system to meet the dynamic control requirements. The proposed control method was applied to a bipedal robot on a moving vehicle for system validation and evaluation, with robotic loads ranging from 0 to 1.65 kg and external disturbances in terms of vehicle acceleration ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 , leading to robotic swing angles up to and anti‐disturbance timespans up to 8.5 s. These experimental results demonstrate the power of the proposed upright balance control method in improving the robustness, and thus applicability, of bipedal robots.
More than just child's play: Enhancing the class experience through role‐playing in children's law
Authors: Heldman Jessica K. , Fellmeth Robert C. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIssues impacting children, families, and communities involve an array of weighty interests rooted in a variety of consequential historical, legal, and political precedents. For more than 30 years, students in the course Child Rights and Remedies have explored these precedents while honing their critical thinking and advocacy skills through role play. Students are each assigned a role for the duration of the semester—a child advocate/child's attorney, a parent advocate/parent's attorney, a state attorney, among others—from which to analyze cases relevant to children. Students are asked to identify the strongest legal and policy arguments supporting the position of someone in their assigned role and to prepare to raise and defend the position in class. A recent innovation—developed as a result of mandated virtual instruction— expands student exploration of child‐ and family‐related topics through contribution to a current events blog. This article will briefly discuss the benefit of role play in legal education followed by detailed guidance on using the approach to explore four key child rights cases. The article also includes the blog assignment description as well as example blog entries and responses.
Using experiential learning to create an inclusive classroom, promote equity, and develop professional identity
Authors: Gibbs Tianna N. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis Article outlines a pedagogical approach that uses experiential learning to create an inclusive family law classroom, promote equity, and prepare students for law practice through the development of knowledge, skills, and professional identity. The Article describes and analyzes a series of in‐class exercises I designed to teach third party custody doctrine and build multiple foundational lawyering skills—such as statutory interpretation, client interviewing, client‐centered lawyering, and oral advocacy—in a single class session. The class is comprised of highly interactive, short exercises that require students to apply, analyze, and evaluate the legal doctrine. Although I developed the exercises as a series of learning activities for a single clinic seminar session, they can be used in any combination in one or more classes in doctrinal, experiential, and clinical courses that focus on or include family law. Faculty can incorporate these experiential exercises into a course effectively and efficiently without a complete overhaul of the course design, and regardless of the length of class sessions.
If these blackboards could talk 2: The Fem‐Crit classroom
Authors: Rosario Lebrón Aníbal 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this article, I explain how I came to redefine my teaching philosophy as Fem‐Crit to ensure that I train students in gender‐conscious lawyering. First, I discuss how even though Crits' and Feminists' pedagogical approaches focus on breaking down hierarchies in the law, Crit pedagogies can remain male‐constructed and privileged, especially for cis‐man professors like myself. Recognizing these shortcomings, I highlight the importance of labeling my teaching as Fem‐Crit as a self‐accountability measure. Departing from this understanding, I revisit my conclusion from a previous article that the law school classroom should be a battlefield and recognize that a Fem‐Crit formulation of the classroom encompasses more than conflict and it also includes meeting conflict with anti‐subordination responses. I follow with my reflections on the challenges, methods, and experiences in socializing students to become Fem‐Crit lawyers. In that part, I discuss how each of the tenets that I had previously identified as core components of a Crit classroom should look for a Fem‐Crit professor. I conclude my reflection by sharing how Fem‐Crit pedagogy has led me to believe that this didactic practice ultimately entails bringing activism into the classroom and the classroom into activism.
Family law with skills ten years later: Experiential education in the introductory family law course
Authors: Schepard Andrew 
Published: October 2022

AbstractHofstra's Law School's Family Law with Skills Course (FLWS) incorporates experiential education into an introductory family law course. This article describes FLWS' recent experiential curricular innovations: (1) a transition to online learning; (2) the Navigator Program in which students provide legal information (in contrast to legal advice) to self‐represented litigants in divorce actions; (3) a forum with leadership from the divorce bar nationwide that introduces law students to the nature and future of family law practice; and (4) a divorce representation simulation in which law students counsel a client with consulting help from a psychologist, asset valuator and dispute resolution expert. This article describes the contribution each of these innovations makes to the education of family law students and how they are organized. It concludes that experiential education should be part of the education of future family lawyers in the interests of improving the quality of the representation they provide and their commitment to the field.

AbstractBackground and AimHelicobacter pylori eradication has been shown to reduce the risk of gastric cancer (GC), with the number of eradication therapy cases on the rise. However, GC can still occur after successful treatment, and the histological differences prior to eradication in patients with and without GC are unclear. This study investigated the pre‐treatment histological risk factors for GC development following eradication therapy.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled consecutive adult patients diagnosed as having H. pylori infection between April 2004 and December 2018. Atrophy and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were histologically assessed according to the updated Sydney System. The operative link on gastritis assessment and the operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM) were evaluated as well.ResultsOf the 247 patients analyzed in this study, 11 (4.5%) experienced GC after eradication therapy. Histological IM scores in the GC group were significantly higher at all gastric biopsy sites (p < .05), and the proportion of OLGIM III/IV stage was significantly greater in GC patients (81.8% vs. 31.8%, p < .01). For GC prediction, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for IM score at the lesser curvature of the corpus was the highest among all biopsy sites and not inferior to OLGIM results.ConclusionsPatients with histological IM prior to H. pylori eradication, especially at the lesser curvature of the corpus, may be at elevated risk for GC development after eradication therapy and require close surveillance.
Commentary: The potential of sleep research to contribute to our understanding on antisocial behaviour – a reflection on Brown, Beardslee, Frick, Steinberg and Cauffman (2022)
Authors: Rowe Richard 
Published: October 2022

A growing body of work indicates that sleep problems are associated with antisocial behaviour in young people. This opens up the opportunity for interventions that improve sleep to reduce antisocial behaviour. Brown et al. (2022) provide important new leads that can help to target interventions, highlighting that the relationship may be most relevant to aggressive offending and that it is consistent across adolescence and young adulthood. The within‐individual design adopted in this study has a number of methodological strengths. This commentary evaluates the effectiveness of the approach in terms of accounting for confounding effects and addressing temporal ordering. Directions for future research to build on the target paper are considered.
To self or not to self? Absence of mate choice despite costly outcrossing in the fungus Podospora anserina

Published: October 2022

AbstractFungi have a large potential for flexibility in their mode of sexual reproduction, resulting in mating systems ranging from haploid selfing to outcrossing. However, we know little about which mating strategies are used in nature, and why, even in well‐studied model organisms. Here, we explored the fitness consequences of alternative mating strategies in the ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina. We measured and compared fitness proxies of nine genotypes in either diploid selfing or outcrossing events, over two generations, and with or without environmental stress. We showed that fitness was consistently lower in outcrossing events, irrespective of the environment. The cost of outcrossing was partly attributed to non‐self recognition genes with pleiotropic effects on fertility. We then predicted that when presented with options to either self or outcross, individuals would perform mate choice in favour of the reproductive strategy that yields higher fitness. Contrary to our prediction, individuals did not seem to avoid outcrossing when a choice was offered, in spite of the fitness cost incurred. Our results suggest that, although functionally diploid, P. anserina does not benefit from outcrossing in most cases. We outline different explanations for the apparent lack of mate choice in face of high fitness costs associated with outcrossing, including a new perspective on the pleiotropic effect of non‐self recognition genes.

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this article, the concentration of watermelon juice by HR98PP membrane was investigated at 30 and 40 bar of operating pressure. The semi‐empirical model of permeate flux was determined. The predominant fouling mechanism in the concentration was found to be complete blocking by Hermia's model. Recovery yield and content of total solid, lycopene and antioxidant capacity in concentrate was analyzed. Results indicated that, concentration of watermelon juice by HR98PP at 40 bar exhibited the higher effectiveness than that at 30 bar. At 40 bar and 2.25 of CF, contents of total sugar (TS), lycopene, and antioxidant capacity in concentrate were 171.31 g/L, 83.9 mg/L, and 124.74 mg TEAC/L, respectively. Recovery yields of TS, lycopene, and antioxidant capacity in concentrate were 98.67%, 90.03%, and 82.39%, respectively. Maximum CF value of concentration at 40 bar of operating pressure was 2.64. The mathematical model was built for estimation of the change in contents of lycopene and TS versus time. Maximum theoretical content of lycopene and TS at 40 bar were estimated as 185 mg/L and 341 g/L, respectively. The cleaning procedure with NaOH solution at pH 10 could fully recovery permeate flux after the concentration. Results imply that, concentration of watermelon juice by HR98PP was feasible.Practical ApplicationsRO filtration is a method that is commonly used for concentration of fruit juice. In this study, the watermelon juice was concentrated with RO to increase concentration of substances. This solution can be applied in factories producing concentrated juice, fruit powder. Operating pressure and models have been evaluated. Fouling mechanism and flux model have also been researched. From the mathematical model studies, influence of process parameters on the concentration process and operating time were derived which will be helpful to apply and scale‐up in industry.
