Published: July 2022

ObjectivesWhile most individuals physically injured at work will make a complete medical recovery, a portion of workers will experience persistent pain following their injury. This study estimated persistent pain prevalence and its association with health and return-to-work outcomes 18 months following the incidence of a disabling work-related injury.MethodsWe studied 1131 workers disabled by a work-related injury who were recruited from a sampling frame of disability benefit claimants in Ontario, Canada. Work injuries and claim benefits characteristics from administrative data were linked with measures of work status, pain symptoms, and physical and mental health obtained from telephone interviews completed 18 months postinjury. Associations of persistent pain symptoms with health and employment outcomes 18 months postinjury were estimated using multinomial and linear regression.ResultsRoughly 30% of participants reported no pain symptoms in the previous 4 weeks, 45% reported mild pain symptoms and 25% reported severe pain symptoms accompanied by substantial functional impairment. Workers with severe pain symptoms were more likely to not be currently working at 18 months (33%) vs those without pain symptoms (16%), and had poorer self-reported physical and mental health. Workers with severe pain symptoms had higher probabilities of benefit durations of 12–18 months (OR=9.35), higher lost-earnings costs (~47.7% higher) and higher healthcare expenditure costs at 18 months (~125.9% higher) compared with those with no pain symptoms.ConclusionsPersistent pain symptom prevalence 18 months postinjury is high among workers disabled by a work-related injury and associated with substantial functional impairment and longer wage replacement benefit duration.
Impoverishing effect of tobacco use in Vietnam

Published: July 2022

BackgroundTobacco consumption places a significant economic burden on households, which is particularly severe in developing countries like Vietnam. In a country where the social insurance system is weak and healthcare is often expensive, tobacco-consuming households may face a higher risk of living in poverty. Some evidence on the social consequences of tobacco consumption suggests that it might aggravate poverty and inequality in Vietnam; however, to the best of our knowledge, no research provides a reliable estimate of the impoverishing effect of tobacco use in the country thus far.ObjectivesThis study quantifies the direct impact of tobacco use on poverty, measured by a poverty head count and the total size of the poverty gap in Vietnam in 2018.MethodsBy deducting tobacco-related expenditure from the total household income, the authors recalculate the actual household disposable income and examine whether the households suffer from the state of secondary poverty. Data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey were used for calculation.Results(1) Total tobacco-related expenditure increased the number of poor people by 305 090 (0.31% of the country’s population) in 2018. More than one-third of those impoverished people are children, who should be considered victims of adults’ tobacco use. (2) Tobacco use increased the poverty gap by 0.08 percentage points from 2.20% to 2.28%. (3) The impoverishment effects of tobacco consumption vary across groups in society and appear to be more intense in rural areas, among ethnic minorities and in the two lowest quintiles of consumption.ConclusionThis study confirms the impoverishing effect of tobacco use in Vietnam (305 090 people) and that the effects are heterogeneous across population groups. Therefore, controlling tobacco use should be a part of the broader poverty reduction strategy in Vietnam and should be wisely targeted so as to reduce poverty effectively.
Breaching and liquefaction in subaqueous retrogressive flow slides
Authors: van den Ham Geeralt A. , De Groot Maarten B. , Mastbergen Dick R. , Van den Berg Jan H. 
Published: July 2022

Although retrogressive flow slides in subaqueous sandy slopes can be very large and cause substantial damage, the failure mechanisms of such slides are not very clear yet. This study analyses two well-monitored flow slides in a shoal margin in the Western Scheldt estuary in the Netherlands: a natural flow slide that eroded 300 m into the edge of the shoal and an artificially induced flow slide that was triggered by dredging and eroded only 30 m of the shoal margin. Both slides were simulated with a newly developed numerical model that describes the physics of slow retrogressive breaching and the much faster retrogression of statically liquefied fine to medium (silty) sands. The simulations show that the differences in trigger and size can be explained by assuming that in the larger slide both retrogressive breaching and static liquefaction took place, while in the smaller one only breaching occurred. The main contribution of retrogressive liquefaction to the larger slide was the generation of a temporary high-erosive density flow that proved sufficient to create such a high, near-vertical slope that the breaching process could continue over a long period and distance. It is therefore likely that both breaching and static liquefaction play a role in large natural flow slides.
The hydrogeological karstic chalk system of the Yport springs (Seine-Maritime, France): investigations and resource exploitation

Abstract

The small town of Yport in the northern part of the Pays de Caux, Normandy, is located on the shore of the English Channel between Étretat and Fécamp, at the outlet of a long dry valley that incises the chalk plateau. Eight hundred metres to the east, at the base of a cliff, is a cluster of springs, the ‘Fontaines d'Yport’, that emerge on the foreshore. Given their high discharge, measured at between 1 and 2.5 m

, the Le Havre authorities have been interested in these springs since the 1960s, in determining their origin, locating the karst conduit, developing them, and investigating the boundaries and vulnerability of the groundwater basin. Today, one third of the drinking water that supplies the Le Havre conurbation comes from the Yport wells, and investigations into their vulnerability and protection of their resource continues.
Seismic geomorphology of the Chandeleur submarine landslide in the northern Gulf of Mexico

Published: July 2022

Abstract

The Chandeleur Submarine Landslide Complex occurs on the upper Mississippi Fan of the Gulf of Mexico in approximately 1100 m of water, 200 km SE of New Orleans, Louisiana. This part of the Mississippi Fan received high sedimentation throughout the Pleistocene, causing high pore fluid pressure and abundant slope failures, though few as large as the Chandeleur. Given its large size, proximity to major coastal cities and seafloor infrastructures, we examine the Chandeleur Slide to understand what led to the initial slope failure and decipher its post-failure transport behaviour using 2D and 3D multichannel seismic surveys, high-resolution bathymetric data, and well logs. We find a large sediment mass with a translational-rotational behaviour that was displaced to the south/SE up to 40 km from the source area. The Chandeleur Slide includes extensional faulting in the headscarp area and compressional structures in the toe where confined by a natural ramp-like structure. Beneath the Chandeleur Slide, we identify a regional sand-rich unit (called the Blue Unit) that is known to be overpressured. Beneath the Blue Unit we observe an upward-migrating salt diapir. We suggest one possible scenario for the origin of the Chandeleur Slide is the combined effects of an upward-migrating salt diapir impinging on an already overpressured Blue Unit, leading to the initial failure. The initial failure was followed by retrogressive headwall retreat northward, which created the prominent scarp on the seafloor. In total, the Chandeleur Slide complex covers an area of about 1000 km

The aim of this study was at exploring the clinical effect of CT images based on multiplanner reformation (MPR) combined with a preoperative psychological nursing intervention model in sinusitis patients undergoing general anesthesia. Sixty sinusitis patients who received MPR-based CT examination and general anesthesia were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the control group (

) and the experimental group (

n

). The control group used traditional preoperative education. The experimental group added the psychological nursing intervention based on traditional preoperative education. The blood pressure and heart rate before and after the operation, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score before and after intervention, and satisfaction were comprehensively assessed. The results showed that CT based on MPR could observe the lesions and anatomical structures of the sinus wall and sinus in detail from multiple angles. The blood pressure (systolic blood pressure

In summary, the preoperative psychological care model has a positive role in reducing the tension and anxiety of patients before general anesthesia surgery and CT based on MPR is important for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis. This study provides a theoretical reference for the clinical treatment of patients with sinusitis.

Abstract

Background:
Current epidemiologic evidence indicates that smoking is associated with a lower endometrial cancer risk. However, it is unknown if this association is causal or confounded. To further elucidate the role of smoking in endometrial cancer risk, we conducted complementary observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Methods:
The observational analyses included 286,415 participants enrolled in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition and 179,271 participants in the UK Biobank, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used. In two-sample MR analyses, genetic variants robustly associated with lifetime amount of smoking (n = 126 variants) and ever having smoked regularly (n = 112 variants) were selected and their association with endometrial cancer risk (12,906 cancer/108,979 controls from the Endometrial Cancer Association Consortium) was examined.

Results:
In the observational analysis, lifetime amount of smoking and ever having smoked regularly were associated with a lower endometrial cancer risk. In the MR analysis accounting for body mass index, a genetic predisposition to a higher lifetime amount of smoking was not associated with endometrial cancer risk (OR per 1-SD increment: 1.15; 95% confidence interval: 0.91–1.44). Genetic predisposition to ever having smoked regularly was not associated with risk of endometrial cancer.

Conclusions:
Smoking was inversely associated with endometrial cancer in the observational analyses, although unsupported by the MR. Additional studies are required to better understand the possible confounders and mechanisms underlying the observed associations between smoking and endometrial cancer.

Impact:
The results from this analysis indicate that smoking is unlikely to be causally linked with endometrial cancer risk.

Accountability as Constructive Dialogue: Can NGOs Persuade States to Conserve Biodiversity?
Authors: Ulloa Ana Maria 
Published: July 2022

AbstractState-to-state accountability has greatly failed to improve compliance with multilateral environmental agreements. As this is also the case in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), this article explores how and with what effect nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) persuade states to fulfill their commitments to conserve biodiversity. The article conceptualizes accountability as learning-enabling dialogue with the potential to influence state behavior through the provision of constructive criticism. The underlying argument is that NGOs can contribute to overcoming implementation challenges by engaging in constructive dialogue with states. The triangulation of interviews with NGOs, CBD documents, and gray literature suggests that NGOs can challenge or even prevent states’ inertia by establishing critical but cooperative multilevel partnerships with states to advance implementation. Reconceptualizing accountability as constructive dialogue may contribute to realizing the transformative potential of accountability. However, more evidence is needed to understand the roles of NGOs in fostering learning and the impact of learning on improving implementation, compliance, and environmental outcomes.
Neuropsychological Evidence for a Motor Working Memory Subsystem Related to Apraxia

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Recent evidence in healthy participants suggests that a motor subcomponent of working memory (mWM) may exist. We investigated whether this mWM is impaired in patients with a motor-dominant left hemisphere (LH) stroke and apraxia. Furthermore, we hypothesized that a deficient mWM contributes to deficits in motor cognition, that is, apraxia, in LH stroke. The study included 52 patients with LH stroke and 25 age-matched controls. Patients were classified into LH stroke patients with and without apraxia based on deficits in gesture imitation and object use. All participants were examined using the block span test (visuospatial WM), the digit span test (verbal WM), and a novel mWM task. In the latter, participants were presented with static pictures depicting three different actions: actions with objects, meaningless actions, and meaningful actions. In the mWM task, LH stroke patients with apraxia performed worse than age-matched controls. Notably, LH stroke patients with apraxia showed more pronounced mWM deficits than those without apraxia. These results remained significant even after controlling for visuospatial and verbal WM deficits. Regression analyses revealed that LH stroke patients' mWM deficits predicted deficits in imitation. Data provide neuropsychological evidence for a motor subsystem of WM and suggest that deficits in mWM contribute to the severity of apraxia in LH stroke patients.
Neural Dynamics Underlying Cognitive Control Modulated by Reinforcement Learning of Irrelevant Stimulus–Response Associations

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Human behavioral studies have shown that reward has multifaceted (motivational, learning, and emotional) effects on cognitive control. Past studies have extensively explored the neural underpinning of the motivational effect of reward on cognitive control, but less is known on the other components. The present study investigates the learning effect of reward on cognitive control with a novel paradigm reinforcing task-irrelevant stimulus–response (S-R) associations. We manipulated the contingency of irrelevant spatial stimulus–response–reward between participants (n = 54) in an orthogonal Simon task during EEG recording. The behavioral results showed that the orthogonal Simon effect in RTs and error rates increased or reversed when performance-contingent reward always followed spatially compatible or incompatible trials. The EEG results showed that the initial incorrect activation of the lateralized readiness potential, reflecting response preparation based on irrelevant spatial S-R associations, was present in the incompatible or compatible condition when reward always followed compatible or incompatible trials. Meanwhile, the P3b amplitude also showed a similar pattern of increase or reversal depending on the contingency of irrelevant stimulus–response–reward. These findings suggest that the brain used reward-strengthened irrelevant spatially compatible or incompatible S-R associations to predict responses. Moreover, the frontocentral N2 amplitude and theta band (4–8 Hz) power showed similar reward-related increase or reversal in the conflict effect, suggesting that there was conflict when the response predicted by the reward-strengthened irrelevant S-R associations was different from the correct response. Taken together, these results suggest that reinforcement learning of irrelevant spatial S-R associations can modulate cognitive control.
Canary in a Coal Mine: Infant Mortality and Tradeoffs Associated with Mid-20th Century Air Pollution
Authors: Clay Karen , Lewis Joshua , Severnini Edson 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This paper examines the health tradeoffs associated with the historical expansion in coal-fired electricity generation in the United States. We combine newly digitized data on all major coal-fired power plants for the period 1938–1962 with two complementary difference-in-differences strategies. Coal-fired plants imposed large negative health externalities that were partially offset by the benefits of local electricity generation. The health impacts varied widely according to initial electricity access and evolved as the stock of generating capacity expanded over the sample period. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for both current and future payoffs when designing environmental regulation.
Skeptical Employers: Experimental Evidence on Biased Beliefs Constraining Firm Growth
Authors: Caria Stefano A. , Falco Paolo 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Does low trust in workers discourage firms from hiring? We conduct an experiment in Ghana with real entrepreneurs who have the option to hire anonymous workers for a trivial but tedious task. Shirking attracts no penalty and completion of the task is an indicator of trustworthiness. We elicit employers’ expectations and study how they change with random signals of workers’ previous behavior. We find that employers underestimate workers’ trustworthiness, which reduces hiring and profits. Negative signals lower employers’ expectations, while positive signals do not affect them. This asymmetry can help to sustain an equilibrium with limited experimentation and biased beliefs.
The Effect of Incarceration on Mortality
Authors: Norris Samuel , Pecenco Matthew , Weaver Jeffrey 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This paper analyzes the effect of incarceration on mortality using administrative data from Ohio between 1992 and 2017. We first document that long-run survival is higher among the incarcerated than similar nonincarcerated defendants. Using event study designs centered around the time of release, we show why: mortality risk halves during the period of incarceration, with large reductions in murders, overdoses, and natural causes of death. However, incarceration does not increase postrelease mortality, and so the overall effect is increased longevity. These estimates reflect the high-risk environment faced by defendants when not incarcerated and suggest noncarceral policies to reduce these risks.
Trade, Gravity, and Aggregation

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Gravity equations are an important tool in empirical international trade research. We study to what extent sector-level parameters can be recovered from aggregate gravity equations estimated via Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood. We show that in the leading case where trade cost regressors do not vary at the sector level, estimates obtained with aggregate data have a clear interpretation as a weighted average of sectoral elasticities. Otherwise the estimates are biased, but researchers may possibly infer the direction of the bias. We illustrate our results by revisiting Baier and Bergstrand’s (2007) influential study of the effects of free trade agreements.
La mystification autobiographique : un problème et une ressource. Le cas de Claude Lévi-Strauss
Authors: Stoczkowski Wiktor 
Published: July 2022

Résumé
Claude Lévi-Strauss a souvent souligné l’importance que revêtait pour lui la découverte précoce du marxisme dont l’inspiration l’aurait ensuite constamment accompagné dans son travail d’anthropologue. Cette affirmation est devenue un leitmotiv des travaux consacrés à Lévi-Strauss, sans que personne ne se soit soucié d’en vérifier le bien-fondé. De nombreux indices attestent pourtant que Lévi-Strauss s’est livré à une mystification autobiographique. Afin d’en saisir la signification, l’article se propose de reconstituer le contexte du milieu intellectuel parisien des années 1950, lorsque cette mystification a vu le jour, et d’expliquer les raisons qui ont poussé Lévi-Strauss à entretenir cette fiction encore une trentaine d’années plus tard. Le but de cet argument est de montrer que la ruse autobiographique habilement mise en scène, loin de n’être qu’un obstacle herméneutique, peut également devenir une ressource qui aide à lever le voile sur des pans oubliés de l’histoire.
