Servant leadership, transformational leadership, and customer satisfaction: An implicit leadership theories perspective
Authors: Shi Shuisheng , Zhou Mingjian 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDrawing on implicit leadership theory (ILT) research, we develop and test a model that explains why integrating transformational leadership and servant leadership may achieve enhanced leader effectiveness. Using a sample of 237 hairstylists and 474 of their customers representing 31 salons, we confirm the augmentation effects of transformational leadership and servant leadership on followers' perceptions of leader stereotypicality (i.e., the extent to which a leader matches followers' implicit theories of leaders) and on customer satisfaction. However, we do not find the hypothesized interaction effect of transformational and servant leadership. Implications are discussed and directions for future research are suggested.
Copredication and Complexity Revisited: A Reply to Löhr and Michel
Authors: Murphy Elliot 
Published: October 2022

AbstractHuman language affords the ability to attribute semantically distinct concepts to a single nominal, a process now commonly termed ‘copredication’. If we describe a lunch as being delayed but also filling , senses of distinct semantic categories (event, physical object) are simultaneously being accessed. Copredication is relevant to major debates in cognitive science, since it cuts to the core of how the lexicon is formatted, and how distinct lexico‐semantic representations relate to each other. The apparent scope and limits of copredication licensing can be explored via acceptability judgment and processing experiments, exposing certain replicable and generalizable patterns that apply across lexical types, syntactic structures, and different languages (Murphy 2021a, 2021b). As such, laying out the psycholinguistic terrain in which to address this phenomenon is crucial – and accounts that lack a valid psycholinguistic and empirical basis should be highlighted as problematic if they are to be accommodated and refined. Löhr and Michel (2022) claim that copredication acceptability is determined by a “set of expectations that are influenced by higher‐order priors associated with discourse context and world knowledge”. I will show that their model encounters a number of obstacles, and ends up unintentionally supporting an alternative model in Murphy (2019, 2021a, 2021b, 2021c), which they attempt to critique.

SummaryPruritus is a cross‐disciplinary leading symptom of numerous diseases and represents an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In contrast to acute pruritus, chronic pruritus (CP) is a symptom of various diseases that is usually difficult to treat. Scratching and the development of scratch‐associated skin lesions can alter the original skin status. In the presence of an itch‐scratch‐cycle, even secondary diseases such as chronic prurigo can develop. Chronic pruritus leads to considerable subjective suffering of those affected, which can result in restrictions on the health‐related quality of life such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, depressiveness, experience of stigmatization and/or social withdrawal up to clinically relevant psychic comorbidities. Medical care of patients should therefore include (a) interdisciplinary diagnosis and therapy of the triggering underlying disease, (b) therapy of the secondary symptoms of pruritus (dermatological therapy, sleep promotion, in the case of an accompanying or underlying psychological or psychosomatic disease an appropriate psychological‐psychotherapeutic treatment) and (c) symptomatic antipruritic therapy. The aim of this interdisciplinary guideline is to define and standardize the therapeutic procedure as well as the interdisciplinary diagnosis of CP. This is the short version of the updated S2k‐guideline for chronic pruritus. The long version can be found at www.awmf.org.
Prioritizing model trimming to prevent thinning during mouthguard thermoforming: Influence of increased height associated with an acute model angle
Authors: Takahashi Mutsumi , Bando Yogetsu 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackground/AimThe shape of the working model is one of the major factors affecting the thickness of thermoformed mouthguards. The aim of this study was to clarify the priority of model trimming to prevent thinning during mouthguard thermoforming.Materials and MethodsMouthguards were thermoformed using 4.0 mm thick ethylene‐vinyl‐acetate sheets and a vacuum forming machine. Working models were trimmed so that the angles of the labial surface to the model base were 100°, 90°, and 80°. The posterior height was unified to 30 mm, and the anterior heights were 30 mm (A100‐L), 35 mm (A90‐M), and 40 mm (A80‐H), respectively. When the sheet temperature reached 100°C, vacuum forming was performed. Six specimens were formed for each condition. Mouthguard thickness (incisal edge, labial surface, cusp, and buccal surface) was measured using a specialized caliper accurate to 0.1 mm. Differences in thickness reduction rate due to model shapes were analyzed by one‐way ANOVA and Bonferroni's multiple comparison tests.ResultsAt the incisal edge, there were no significant differences in the reduction rate of the thickness of the mouthguard according to model shapes. On the labial surface, cusp, and buccal surface, the smaller the model angle, the smaller the reduction rate of thickness, and significant differences were observed between A100‐L and A80‐H, and A90‐M and A80‐H. On the labial and buccal surfaces, A80‐H was more than 7.1% thicker compared with A100‐L and more than 5.6% thicker compared with A90‐M, and the thickness reduction rate was reduced when the model was trimmed to an acute angle. At the cusp, A80‐H was more than 4.3% thicker than A100‐L and A90‐M.ConclusionsIt is useful to trim the model at an acute angle in order to prevent thinning during mouthguard thermoforming, even if the anterior height of the model is increased.
Levodopa alters resting‐state functional connectivity more selectively in Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait

Published: October 2022

AbstractFreezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although PD dopaminergic medication (L‐DOPA) seems to generally reduce FOG severity, its effect on neural mechanisms of FOG remains to be determined. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of L‐DOPA on brain resting‐state functional connectivity in individuals with FOG. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was acquired at rest in 30 individuals living with PD (15 freezers) in the ON‐ and OFF‐ medication state. A seed‐to‐voxel analysis was performed with seeds in the bilateral basal ganglia nuclei, the thalamus and the mesencephalic locomotor region. In freezers, medication‐state contrasts revealed numerous changes in resting‐state functional connectivity, not modulated by L‐DOPA in non‐freezers. In freezers, L‐DOPA increased the functional connectivity between the seeds and regions including the posterior parietal, the posterior cingulate, the motor and the medial prefrontal cortices. Comparisons with non‐freezers revealed that L‐DOPA generally normalizes brain functional connectivity to non‐freezers levels but can also increase functional connectivity, possibly compensating for dysfunctional networks in freezers. Our findings suggest that L‐DOPA could contribute to a better sensorimotor, attentional, response inhibition and limbic processing to prevent FOG when triggers are encountered but could also contribute to FOG by interfering with the processing capacity of the striatum.This study shows that levodopa taken to control PD symptoms induces changes in functional connectivity at rest, in freezers only. Increases (green) in functional connectivity of GPe, GPi, putamen and thalamus with cognitive, sensorimotor and limbic cortical regions of the Interference model (blue) was observed. Our results suggest that levodopa can normalize connections similar to non‐freezers or increases connectivity to compensate for dysfunctional networks.

AbstractThe goal of this study was to examine the prevalence of WNT10A and RUNX2 mutations and assess their potential impact on the phenotype of non‐syndromic tooth agenesis. The study included 30 participants with non‐syndromic tooth agenesis, divided into hypodontia (n = 24) and oligodontia forms (n = 6), and 42 unaffected family members. Genomic DNA from buccal epithelial cells was used for polymerase chain reaction amplification of functionally important exons of the WNT10A and RUNX2 genes. Direct sequencing reactions were performed to confirm the presence of mutations. The trend of increasing prevalence of WNT10A mutations and a slight increase in the prevalence of RUNX2 mutations were revealed in tooth agenesis cases compared to unaffected family members. There was a higher prevalence of hypodontia than oligodontia, increased frequency of females over males with missing teeth, and a wide phenotypic variability was observed in individuals and families analyzed. The common missense mutations (p.Phe228Ile, p.Arg113Cys, p.Asp217Asn, and p.Gly165Arg) and c.114‐56T>C in the WNT10A gene and in‐frame‐deletion/insertions (11A, 24Q, 30Q), synonymous variant c.240G>A, and 424‐33dupC in the RUNX2 gene were identified. These findings highlight an important role of WNT10A and RUNX2 mutations in the genetic etiology of non‐syndromic tooth agenesis.

Published: October 2022

AbstractGlobal climate change has led to more extreme thermal events. Plants and animals harbour diverse microbial communities, which may be vital for their physiological performance and help them survive stressful climatic conditions. The extent to which microbiome communities change in response to warming or cooling may be important for predicting host performance under global change. Using a meta‐analysis of 1377 microbiomes from 43 terrestrial and aquatic species, we found a decrease in the amplicon sequence variant‐level microbiome phylogenetic diversity and alteration of microbiome composition under both experimental warming and cooling. Microbiome beta dispersion was not affected by temperature changes. We showed that the host habitat and experimental factors affected microbiome diversity and composition more than host biological traits. In particular, aquatic organisms—especially in marine habitats—experienced a greater depletion in microbiome diversity under cold conditions, compared to terrestrial hosts. Exposure involving a sudden long and static temperature shift was associated with microbiome diversity loss, but this reduction was attenuated by prior‐experimental lab acclimation or when a ramped regime (i.e., warming) was used. Microbial differential abundance and co‐occurrence network analyses revealed several potential indicator bacterial classes for hosts in heated environments and on different biome levels. Overall, our findings improve our understanding on the impact of global temperature changes on animal and plant microbiome structures across a diverse range of habitats. The next step is to link these changes to measures of host fitness, as well as microbial community functions, to determine whether microbiomes can buffer some species against a more thermally variable and extreme world.
Tribological behavior and wear mechanism of C/C–SiC brake discs based on third‐body layer

Published: October 2022

AbstractC/C–SiC composites are promising candidates for heavy‐duty tracked vehicle brake discs. A third‐body layer (TBL) can be formed on the surface of C/C–SiC self‐mated brake discs, which has an important impact on tribological behavior and wear mechanism of brake discs. Herein, the formation conditions and evolution process of TBL and its effect on friction and wear properties were investigated. An appropriate braking pressure and speed (P and V) are beneficial to the cutting of asperities and refinement of wear debris on the contact surface, which are preconditions for the formation of original TBL. The original TBL can be formed under the P·V of 12, 15, and 16, which effectively improve braking stability and reduce the wear rate. During the continuous braking process, the original TBL undergoes growth, stabilization, destruction, and regeneration. Under the frictional heat and compressive stress, wear debris gradually evolves into a uniform and dense TBL. The average coefficient of friction and wear rate reach to the lowest value of .446 and 38.5 × 10−3 cm3/MJ, respectively. A continuous high temperature in the later stages of braking leads to severe oxidative wear. The newly formed TBL covers the original surface to form a multilayered structure, indicating the TBL undergoes destruction and regeneration.

Published: October 2022

AbstractSi3N4 ceramics were prepared by hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) methods using low content (5 mol%) Al2O3–RE2O3(RE = Y, Yb, and La)–SiO2/TiN as sintering additives/secondary additives. The effects of sintering additives and sintering methods on the composition, microstructures, and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) were investigated. The results show that fully density Si3N4 ceramics could be fabricated by rational tailoring of sintering additives and sintering method, and TiN secondary additive could promote the density during HP and SPS. Besides, SN‐AYS‐SPS possesses the most competitive mechanical properties among all the as‐prepared ceramics with the Vickers hardness as 17.31 ± .43 GPa and fracture toughness as 11.07 ± .48 MPa m1/2.

Published: October 2022

AbstractIntroductionSodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, or gliflozins, are used as mono or combined therapy in the management of diabetes. Genital infections are the most common reported adverse effect, as a result of induced glycosuria. Cutaneous features of patients experiencing vulval symptoms while on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy have not been clearly described in published literature. We have observed a specific inflammatory vulvitis with psoriasiform features in patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors, related to candidiasis in most cases.Methods and resultsDemographic and treatment outcomes of 11 patients with characteristic inflammatory changes after starting SGLT2 inhibitors were extracted from electronic records. Ninety‐one percent (n = 10) had candidiasis, treated with fluconazole. Six (54.5%) were able to continue SGLT‐2 inhibitors through the addition of topical treatments, but five patients had to discontinue the drug.ConclusionsSGLT2 inhibitors can result in characteristic inflammatory vulvitis. Treatment with topical agents and single‐dose antifungals may allow patients to continue their therapy to achieve improved glycemic control. In resistant cases, discontinuation of the drug is necessary. We highlight this effect so that early treatment can be initiated to alleviate symptoms and recognition of underlying cause.
Karl Barth's Theology of God as the Absolute Person: Decision and the Problem of the Counterfactuals
Authors: Mannen Sara 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article argues that the tension identified by maximalist interpreters in Barth's theology between his concrete identification of Jesus Christ with the essence of God and affirmation of counterfactual possibilities is motivated by Barth's theology that God is the absolute person. Barth's theology of divine personhood includes an element of self‐mastery over Godself. It is demonstrated that Barth uses the concept of decision and counterfactual claims to secure God's Lordship over Godself and avoid any necessity of compulsion in God's actions. God is the absolute person, a self‐determining and self‐motivated intentional agent, which Barth utilises to secure God's irreducible, full presence in God's gracious turning towards us in revelation and reconciliation.
Seeing, Embodying, and Proclaiming Christ
Authors: Behr John 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis essay examines the way Irenaeus of Lyons describes Blandina in her martyrdom: seen by others as embodying Christ and so encouraging them to also bear witness and be born into life by the Virgin Mother, the Church. It explores in particular Irenaeus' exegetical moves, so as to regain a sense of the unity of theology and exegesis as a transformed and transforming vision, which in turn extends the incarnation of Christ into the present in those who also take up the cross. In this way Irenaeus offers a way of understanding the unity of the discipline of theology and a vision of life and the Church that speaks to our contemporary situation.
From the migration crisis to the COVID‐19 pandemic, (im)possible regularization of migrants in Italy and Spain
Authors: Aris Escarcena Juan Pablo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe reception of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in camps has become a common phenomenon in Europe, discursively linked to the historical ‘crisis’ of mass movements towards the region. Camps and irregularity are two key issues in understanding the special impact that the COVID‐19 pandemic has had on migrants and refugees. This article explores connections between the ‘campization’ of migrant and refugee reception and the current debates for and against migrant regularization in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic in Southern Europe (Spain and Italy). The analysis uses qualitative methodology based on multi‐site ethnographic fieldwork (pre‐COVID‐19 pandemic); informal remote interviews with migrants and refugees; and analysis of political, media and legislative discourses.
Emotions, inequalities and crises: Ecuadorian migrants in Europe during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Authors: Herrera Gioconda , Espinosa Maria Cristina Carrillo , Lara‐Reyes Ruth 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article examines narratives of transnational belonging and transnational practices of care between a group of Ecuadorian migrants in Spain and Italy and their families and friends in Ecuador during the first semester of the COVID‐19 pandemic in 2020. Drawing on the concepts of transnational affective economies (Wilding et al., International Journal of Cultural Studies, 2020, 23, 639), the circulation of care (Baldassar & Merla, Transnational families, migration and the circulation of care: understanding mobility and absence in family life. Routledge Taylor and Francis Group, London, New York, 2014) and transnational forms of belonging (Boccagni & Baldassar, Emotions, Space and Society, 2015, 16, 73), we look at how despite their still precarious social and labour conditions in destination—which were exacerbated during the pandemic—Ecuadorian migrants activated different forms of belonging and transnational care. Findings reveal that emotions had a crucial role in enabling the transnational circulation of care between family members and friends and a revival of migrants' sense of national belonging. We argue that the crisis generated by COVID‐19 was the occasion for migrants to revisit their sense of belonging as well as their awareness of south–north inequalities since they experienced the crisis simultaneously in Ecuador, Spain and Italy. At the same time, emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger and concern for their families and communities triggered subjective understandings of local and global inequalities that reaffirmed their migration project.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study aimed to examine the perceived stress and body image in burn patients and the relationship between these two variables. This is a descriptive and cross‐sectional study. The study included total of 144 patients who had burn injuries, received treatment in a research and training hospital and were scheduled to be discharged. The data were collected prospectively by the researchers, using descriptive methods, Kruskal Wallis test, paired samples t test, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Of the patients, 59% were between the ages of 18 and 35 years, 68.1% were male, 65.3% had second‐degree burns, 77.1% had burn surfaces ranging between 10% and 20% of their body, and 54.9% had autograft surgery. The burn patients aged 51 years and over had higher perceived stress than younger patients, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.05). As the percentage of burn surface increased, the perceived stress increased, and the perceived body image weakened (P < 0.05). The burn patients with autograft surgery had lower perceived stress and higher perceived body image than those without autograft surgery, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.01). This study found an inverse relationship between perceived stress and body image in burn patients, which was affected by the percentage of burn surface and autograft surgery. Relevant interventions are suggested to increase perceived body image in burn patients and reduce their perceived stress.
Larotrectinib induces autophagic cell death through AMPK/mTOR signalling in colon cancer

Published: October 2022

AbstractLarotrectinib (Lar) is a highly selective and potent small‐molecule inhibitor used in patients with tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion‐positive cancers, including colon cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms specifically in patients with colon cancer have not yet been explored. Our data showed that Lar significantly suppressed proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells. In addition, Lar suppressed the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, as evidenced by elevation in E‐cadherin (E‐cad), and downregulation of vimentin and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2/9 expression. Furthermore, Lar was found to activate autophagic flux, in which Lar increased the ratio between LC3II/LC3I and decreased the expression of p62 in colon cancer cells. More importantly, Lar also increased AMPK phosphorylation and suppressed mTOR phosphorylation in colon cancer cells. However, when we silenced AMPK in colon cancer cells, Lar‐induced accumulation of autolysomes as well as Lar‐induced suppression of the EMT process were significantly diminished. An in vivo assay also confirmed that tumour volume and weight decreased in Lar‐treated mice than in control mice. Taken together, this study suggests that Lar significantly suppresses colon cancer proliferation and migration by activating AMPK/mTOR‐mediated autophagic cell death.
