Rethinking the pandemic narrative: An ordoliberal perspective
Authors: Trubnikov Dmitrii 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article analyses the Covid‐19 pandemic narrative through the lens of the ordoliberal concept of interdependence of orders. This approach explains why the measures adopted eschewed market‐based solutions and suggests what their real driving forces were. The ordoliberal approach asserts that the concentration of power problem is not only a direct outcome of the government response to the crisis, but is also the main cause of the ways chosen to deal with it. This power concentration reached very dangerous levels, which affected social, technological, political and even academic orders, forming the system of incentives that encouraged all crucial players to support the chosen methods.
Attitudes towards the rich in China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam
Authors: Zitelmann Rainer 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article is based on representative surveys conducted in China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam as part of the ongoing The Rich in Public Opinion project. While in Western countries 28 per cent of respondents say it is important for them to become rich, in the surveyed Asian countries the figure is 58 per cent. Social envy directed at the rich is much lower in Japan, South Korea and Vietnam than in Europe and the United States, while in China it is at a similar level to that in some Western countries. In particular, popular attitudes towards the rich are far more positive in Japan, South Korea and Vietnam than in Western countries, while in China they are more similar to those in Europe.
How might the United Kingdom's debt–GDP ratio be reduced? Evidence from the last 120 years
Authors: Wickens Michael 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article examines how the currently high level of the UK's debt–GDP ratio can be reduced. We consider whether anything can be learned from previous experience over the last 120 years by examining the contributions both to the increase in the debt–GDP ratio and to the reduction of the debt–GDP ratio by various components of the government budget constraint: the primary surplus, growth, inflation, and interest rates and payments. We also examine the effectiveness of policy in influencing these components. We conclude by considering what level of UK debt might be sustainable and whether this is economically and politically achievable.
Venezuela's collapse: Exogenous shock or institutional design?
Authors: Jraissati Jorge , Jakee Keith 
Published: July 2022

AbstractVenezuela was the fastest‐growing economy of the twentieth century until the 1970s, and it still has the world's largest known oil reserves. Yet in recent years, it has experienced the greatest economic collapse in South America's history, condemning 96 per cent of its people to poverty. Much of the existing literature blames foreign sanctions or a decline in oil prices, or both. We disagree, arguing the breakdown was caused by explicit institutional changes that politicised the oil industry and replaced market mechanisms with central planning. The institutional restructuring also disregarded monetary stability and basic infrastructure, including electricity supply, telecommunications, and even security.

AbstractHydroxyurea (HU) has proven benefit in sickle cell anemia (SCA), but HU is still underutilized. The Pediatric Sickle Cell Program of Northern Virginia prescribes HU regardless of symptoms to all SCA patients age ≥ 9 months and prospectively tracks outcomes. HU is dosed to maximum tolerated dosing (MTD), targeting 30% Hgb F. Longitudinal data from 2009 to 2019 encompassing 1222 HU‐eligible and 950 HU‐exposure patient‐years were analyzed in 2‐year intervals for hemoglobin (Hgb), fetal hemoglobin (Hgb F), hospitalizations, transfusions, and treat‐and‐release ED visits. Comparing HU‐eligible patients in the interval prior to HU implementation (2009–2011) to the last interval analyzed after HU implementation (2017–2019), HU usage increased from 33% to 93%, average Hgb increased from 8.3 ± 0.98 to 9.8 ± 1.3 g/dl (p < .0001), average Hgb F rose from 13 ± 8.7% to 26 ± 9.9% (p < .0001), hospitalizations decreased from 0.71 (95% CI 0.54–0.91) to 0.2 (95% CI 0.13–0.28) admissions/person‐year, sporadic transfusions decreased from 0.4 (95% CI 0.27–0.55) to 0.05 (95% CI 0.02–0.12) transfusions/person‐year. Treat‐and‐release ED visit rates remained unchanged, varying between 0.49 (95% CI 0.36–0.64) and 0.64 (95% CI 0.48–0.83) visits/person‐year. By the last interval, 72% of patients had Hgb ≥ 9 g/dl, 42% had Hgb F ≥ 30%, 79% experienced no hospitalizations, and 94% received no transfusions. Uniform HU prescription for SCA patients with close monitoring to achieve high Hgb F resulted in significant improvements in laboratory and clinical outcomes within 2 years, which continued to improve over the next 6 years. Rigorous HU implementation in a pediatric sickle cell population is feasible, effective, and sustainable.
Pollen‐based reconstruction reveals the impact of the onset of agriculture on plant functional trait composition
Authors: Veeken Annegreet , Santos Maria J. , McGowan Suzanne , Davies Althea L. , Schrodt Franziska 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe onset of agriculture improved the capacity of ecosystems to produce food, but inadvertently altered other vital ecosystem functions. Plant traits play a central role in determining ecosystem properties, therefore we investigated how the onset of agriculture in Europe changed plant trait composition using 78 pollen records. Using a novel Bayesian approach for reconstructing plant trait composition from pollen records, we provide a robust method that can account for trait variability within pollen types. We estimate an overall four‐fold decrease in plant size through agriculture and associated decreases in leaf and seed size. We show an increase in niche space towards the resource‐acquisitive end of the leaf economic spectrum. Decreases in leaf phosphorus might have been caused by nutrient depletion through grazing and burning. Our results show that agriculture, from its start, has likely been gradually impacting biogeochemical cycles through altered vegetation composition.
Occurrence of Ophraella communaLeSage (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Published: July 2022

AbstractOphraella communa, a potential biological control agent for Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed), was recorded from Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2020 for the first time. In the present paper, we report its occurence in other localities in the country. The species was found on A. artemisiifolia, an important invasive alien plant species that causes human health issues and negative impacts on crop yields. All stages of the insect were found in four locations in the northern part of the country where ragweed is highly invasive. A high level of damage on leaves indicates that it has already been established in the area for some time. According to the literature, O. communa might have two generations per year in Bosnia and Herzegovina and relative humidity might play a major role in population development.

Published: July 2022

AbstractField surveys conducted in December 2021 in two regions in Portugal revealed the occurrence of the invasive plant species Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. (silverleaf nightshade), following records from the web portal BioDiversity4All. The first population was found at Costa da Caparica, municipality of Almada (Lisbon region), in an abandoned area located in an urban environment and next to the ocean, presenting a small infestation to date (ca. 200 stems). The second population was found in an abandoned field located in an agricultural area at Cano, municipality of Sousel (Northern Alentejo region). The infestation was large (>0.5 ha) and may serve as a reservoir for future invasions in nearby arable fields and olive groves. Negative effects reported in the literature for S. elaeagnifolium include competition with native vegetation, reduces crop yields and is toxic for livestock. Therefore, eradication attempts should be applied promptly in the Costa da Caparica site to eliminate the invasive alien plant before further spread. Monitoring actions and control of the population are the measures to prevent further dispersal of the plant in agricultural land in the Cano site.
Mate selection in China: Trends and determinants

Published: July 2022

AbstractObjectiveUsing pooled data from the 2010, 2012, and 2014 China Family Panel Studies, this paper elucidates the internal heterogeneity among non‐arranged marriages by examining changing patterns and determinants of mate selection in China from 1950 to 2014.BackgroundPrevious research has documented a decline in arranged marriages and a rise in self‐initiated marriages in the Asian context.MethodsThis study uses two measures to capture the nuanced nature of mate selection, namely, arranged versus non‐arranged marriages among all couples, and introduced versus self‐initiated marriages among non‐arranged couples.ResultsWhile arranged marriages declined rapidly and were replaced mostly by introduced marriages before 1980, after 1980, self‐initiated marriages began to increase. Urbanization and better education led to more non‐arranged marriages, particularly through self‐initiated means. The influence of county‐level per capita GDP on mate selection is quadratic.ConclusionThe two‐stage transitions in mate selection reflect the importance of accounting for both structural and ideational factors in explaining these changes.ImplicationsWe challenge the assumed unilinear change from arranged marriages to self‐initiated marriages along the processes of economic development. The intensified economic pressures may have driven some young adults back to introduced, even arranged, marriages.
The rising threat of climate change for arthropods from Earth's cold regions: Taxonomic rather than native status drives species sensitivity

AbstractPolar and alpine regions are changing rapidly with global climate change. Yet, the impacts on biodiversity, especially on the invertebrate ectotherms which are dominant in these areas, remain poorly understood. Short‐term extreme temperature events, which are growing in frequency, are expected to have profound impacts on high‐latitude ectotherms, with native species being less resilient than their alien counterparts. Here, we examined in the laboratory the effects of short periodic exposures to thermal extremes on survival responses of seven native and two non‐native invertebrates from the sub‐Antarctic Islands. We found that survival of dipterans was significantly reduced under warming exposures, on average having median lethal times (LT50) of about 30 days in control conditions, which declined to about 20 days when exposed to daily short‐term maxima of 24°C. Conversely, coleopterans were either not, or were less, affected by the climatic scenarios applied, with predicted LT50 as high as 65 days under the warmest condition (daily exposures at 28°C for 2 h). The native spider Myro kerguelensis was characterized by an intermediate sensitivity when subjected to short‐term daily heat maxima. Our results unexpectedly revealed a taxonomic influence, with physiological sensitivity to heat differing between higher level taxa, but not between native and non‐native species representing the same higher taxon. The survival of a non‐native carabid beetle under the experimentally imposed conditions was very high, but similar to that of native beetles, while native and non‐native flies also exhibited very similar sensitivity to warming. As dipterans are a major element of diversity of sub‐Antarctic, Arctic and other cold ecosystems, such observations suggest that the increased occurrence of extreme, short‐term, thermal events could lead to large‐scale restructuring of key terrestrial ecosystem components both in ecosystems protected from and those exposed to the additional impacts of biological invasions.
Planning for Managed Aquifer Recharge Projects
Authors: McCurry Gordon , Pyne David 
Published: July 2022

AbstractManaged aquifer recharge (MAR) involves the intentional recharge of water to aquifers for subsequent recovery or for environmental benefits. It is an increasingly common water resources management strategy but, despite its use for many decades, is unfamiliar to many. This lack of widespread understanding makes it essential that MAR projects are developed using a systematic, comprehensive and transparent approach. This paper outlines a proven and successful approach to planning and developing MAR projects. The process includes three steps, consisting of developing project objectives, developing evaluation criteria for potential MAR projects, and, after collecting and evaluating pertinent data, ranking potential projects against those criteria. Project objectives help define the data that should be collected and the evaluation criteria that are relevant to consider. Commonly used criteria include those relating to water supply, aquifer restoration, water quality and environmental protection. Key evaluation criteria that are discussed in more detail include the availability of water that would be used for recharge, the suitability of receiving aquifers to accept and retain the recharged water, and the compatibility of recharged water with the aquifer into which it is placed. Potential MAR projects can be ranked objectively by quantifying the evaluation criteria and assigning ranking scores to them. The potential project that best meets the project objectives will score the most favorably. Using a quantitative and objective process to evaluate and rank potential projects will increase support by project stakeholders and increase the likelihood that the project will be successful.
Psychopathological symptoms in dermatology: A basic approach toward psychocutaneous disorders
Authors: Rahman Syed Minhaj , Abduelmula Abrahim , Jafferany Mohammad 
Published: July 2022

AbstractDermatological conditions impact not only an individual's physical body but also their psychological health. Similar to how cutaneous conditions can affect one's psychological health, worsening psychological conditions can exacerbate or even induce dermatological conditions. There are four common psychiatric pathologies typically found in dermatology practices: depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, obsessive–compulsive disorder behaviors, and psychosis. Common cutaneous disorders associated with these psychopathological symptoms include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, and delusions of parasitosis. The goal of this review is to examine the relationship between these four psychopathological symptoms with common psychodermatological conditions and to help providers better diagnose and implement appropriate psychological support to treat their patients.

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of our study was to establish reference ranges for neonatal coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters and to investigate their relationship with gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW).MethodsA single‐centre prospective study was conducted in all healthy neonates born in our hospital during the study period, excluding those with maternal or neonatal disorders and diseases that affect haemostasis. The following parameters were measured: fibrinogen, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) as well as factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII, von Willebrand (vWF), protein C, free protein S, antithrombin (AT), activated protein C resistance (APCr), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1).ResultsStudy population consisted of 327 neonates. Fibrinogen, AT III, proteins C and S, PAI‐1, vWF and factors II, V, VIII, IX, XI and XII were positively correlated, while PT, aPPT, INR, APCr and tPA were negatively correlated with GA and BW. Proteins C and S, factors II, VIII, IX, XI and vWF, as well AT III and PAI‐1 had a significant positive linear correlation with GA, while aPTT had a significant negative one. Fibrinogen, and factors V, VII and XII had a significant positive linear correlation with BW, while factor VIII, tPA, as well PT and INR had a significant negative one.ConclusionFibrinogen, AT III, proteins C and S, PAI‐1, vWF and factors II, V, VIII, IX, XI and XII increase with GA and BW.

Abstract

Aims
Two introgression lines (ILs), 182Q20 and 200A12, which had chromosomal segments introgressed from Hordeum bulbosum in H. vulgare backgrounds, were identified to show seedling resistance against Puccinia hordei, possibly attributed to two resistance genes, Rph22 and Rph26, respectively. This study characterized the phenotypic responses of the two genes against P. hordei over different plant development stages.

Methods and Results
Using visual and fungal biomass assessments, responses of ILs 182Q20, 200A12 and four other barley cultivars against P. hordei were determined at seedling, tillering, stem elongation and booting stages. Plants carrying either Rph22 or Rph26 were found to confer gradually increasing resistance over the course of different development stages, with partial resistant phenotypes (i.e. prolonged rust latency periods, reduced uredinia numbers but with susceptible infection types) observed at seedling stage and adult plant resistance (APR) at booting stage. A definitive switch between the two types of resistance occurred at tillering stage.

Conclusions
Rph22 and Rph26 derived from H. bulbosum were well characterized and had typical APR phenotypes against P. hordei.

Significance and Impact of the Study
This study provides important insights on the effectiveness and expression of Rph22 and Rph26 against P. hordei during plant development and underpins future barley breeding programmes using non-host as a genetic resource for leaf rust management.
Identification of a candidate sex determination gene in Culaea inconstans suggests convergent recruitment of an Amh duplicate in two lineages of stickleback
Authors: Jeffries Daniel L. , Mee Jonathan A. , Peichel Catherine L. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractSex chromosomes vary greatly in their age and levels of differentiation across the tree of life. This variation is largely due to the rates of sex chromosome turnover in different lineages; however, we still lack an explanation for why sex chromosomes are so conserved in some lineages (e.g. mammals, birds) but so labile in others (e.g. teleosts, amphibians). To identify general mechanisms driving transitions in sex determination systems or forces which favour their conservation, we first require empirical data on sex chromosome systems from multiple lineages. Stickleback fishes are a valuable model lineage for the study of sex chromosome evolution due to variation in sex chromosome systems between closely‐related species. Here, we identify the sex chromosome and a strong candidate for the master sex determination gene in the brook stickleback, Culaea inconstans. Using whole‐genome sequencing of wild‐caught samples and a lab cross, we identify AmhY, a male specific duplication of the gene Amh, as the candidate master sex determination gene. AmhY resides on Chromosome 20 in C. inconstans and is likely a recent duplication, as both AmhY and the sex‐linked region of Chromosome 20 show little sequence divergence. Importantly, this duplicate AmhY represents the second independent duplication and recruitment of Amh as the sex determination gene in stickleback and the eighth example known across teleosts. We discuss this convergence in the context of sex chromosome turnovers and the role that the Amh/AmhrII pathway, which is crucial for sex determination, may play in the evolution of sex chromosomes in teleosts.

AbstractBackground and AimPotassium‐competitive acid blockers (P‐CABs) can be used to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection. We aimed to evaluate the impact of treatment duration (7 vs 14 days) on successful H. pylori eradication with P‐CAB‐based triple therapy in Korea, where clarithromycin resistance rate is high.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who received first‐line treatment for H. pylori infection with tegoprazan‐based triple therapy (50 mg tegoprazan + 1000 mg amoxicillin + 500 mg clarithromycin twice daily for 1 or 2 weeks). The primary endpoint was the eradication rate in intention‐to‐treat (ITT) analysis.ResultsOf the 948 patients included in the study, 435 and 513 received 7‐day and 14‐day tegoprazan‐based triple therapy, respectively. The eradication rate was higher in the 14‐day therapy group than in the 7‐day therapy group (ITT, 63.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 59.3–68.3%] vs 78.6% [95% CI, 74.9–81.9%], respectively, P < 0.001; per‐protocol, 70.5% [95% CI, 65.8–74.8%] vs 85.1% [81.7–88.1%], respectively, P < 0.001). Overall adverse event rates did not differ between the two groups. Although six patients in the 14‐day treatment group discontinued the prescribed medications due to adverse events, four of them (67%) discontinued the medication within 4 days.ConclusionsThe 14‐day tegoprazan‐based triple therapy showed a superior eradication rate and acceptable adverse events compared with the 7‐day tegoprazan‐based triple therapy. A 14‐day treatment regimen may be required when H. pylori infection is treated with tegoprazan‐based triple therapy in regions with high clarithromycin resistance.
