Host country’s financial condition and FDI inflow: evidence from China
Authors: Shen Jun , Zhao Kai , Mo Minjie 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper investigates how the gap between the host country's actual and optimal financial conditions affects foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows through evidence from China.Design/methodology/approachThe authors first employ principal component analysis (PCA) to measure FDI target countries' actual financial conditions and use 30 OECD countries as a reference group to assess the optimal financial condition. The authors then estimate a two-way fixed effect model with panel data of China's outward FDI in 64 countries for the period 2003–2017 to get the regression results. The authors' results overcome endogeneity and are robust.FindingsResults show that (1) the gaps between host countries' actual and optimal financial conditions positively affect FDI inflows from China; (2) there is a heterogeneous effect between low-income and high-income countries. The gaps for high-income countries significantly increase FDI inflows from China, while the gaps are not significant for low-income countries.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors examine how the gap affects FDI inflows from China. An increase of 1% in the target country's gap promotes a 6.3% increase in FDI inflows. However, the authors do not explore what mechanisms are key to these results. The authors will explore these questions in the future.Originality/valueThis paper complements the influence factors of FDI and enriches theories of FDI. The gap between actual and optimal financial conditions plays an essential role in FDI flows across countries for policymakers.
A scoping review of the literature pertaining to burnout and leadership in mental health clinicians
Authors: Gravestock Jenny 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore what is known in the literature about leadership and burnout within mental health clinicians (MHC).

Design/methodology/approach
The Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework was used to conduct a systematised scoping review of three databases: PsycInfo, PubMed and CINAHL. To ensure a broad scope of the literature, Google, Google Scholar and three sources of grey literature were also searched.

Findings
In total 1,087 articles were identified and 36 were included in the final review, 23 of which were cross-sectional and correlational studies. There is a lack of experimental studies, longitudinal research and qualitative approaches. The literature repeatedly demonstrated an association between leadership and burnout; transformational-leadership style, good quality supervision, supportive relationships, positive communication and fostering autonomy are areas of interest.

Research limitations/implications
Future research activity should aim to follow the recommendations made in the literature; more experimental and longitudinal approaches are needed to support practical application of the findings.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge there is no other review which maps out the research pertaining to leadership and burnout among MHC. These findings can be used to guide future research to ensure that efforts are directed toward original, meaningful and practical ventures that will add to the evidence base and benefit clinical practice.
Labour's ‘Everyday Economy’: Why, How, and for Whom?
Authors: Berry Christine 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe literature on the ‘everyday’ or ‘foundational’ economy poses fundamental challenges to orthodox economic thinking. First, it implies a different way of thinking about economic success, based on good lives for all rather than growth for growth's sake. Second, it emphasises how dominant financialised business models undermine good outcomes for both workers and consumers. But, since the ‘everyday economy’ as a political frame does not make these issues explicit, it leaves room for them to be elided as part of Labour's post‐Corbyn rebranding. When Starmer's Labour has squarely confronted issues of power and ownership in the ‘everyday economy’—for example, with its proposed windfall tax on oil and gas firms or plans for publicly‐owned energy generation—it has reaped political dividends. However, it remains to be seen whether the party has the appetite to build on these interventions and set out a broader agenda for structural reform.

AbstractObjectivesThe objective was to conduct a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) to identify best practices, benefits, harms, facilitators, and barriers to the routine collection of sociodemographic variables in emergency departments (EDs).MethodsThis work is a systematic review and QES. We conducted a comprehensive search of Medline (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco), Cochrane Central (OVID), EMBASE (Ovid), and the multidisciplinary Web of Science Core database using peer‐reviewed search strategies, complemented by a gray literature search. We included citations containing perspectives on routine sociodemographic variable collection in EDs and recommendations on definitions or processes of collection or benefits, harms, facilitators, or barriers related to the routine collection of sociodemographic variables in EDs. We conducted this systematic review and QES adhering to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Two reviewers independently selected included studies and extracted data. We conducted a best‐fit framework synthesis and paired inductive thematic analysis of the included studies. We generated recommendations based on the QES.ResultsWe included 21 unique reports that enrolled 10,454 patients or respondents in our systematic review and QES. Publication dates of included studies ranged from 2011 to 2021. Included citations were published in Australia, Canada, and the United States. We synthesized 11 benefits, 14 potential harms, 15 barriers, and 19 facilitators and identified 14 best practice recommendations from included citations.ConclusionsHealth systems should routinely collect sociodemographic variables in EDs guided by recommendations that minimize harms and maximize benefits and consider relevant barriers and facilitators. Our recommendations can serve as a guide for the equity‐focused reformation of emergency medicine health information systems.
Loss of pulsatility with continuous‐flow left ventricular assist devices and the significance of the arterial endothelium in von‐Willebrand factor production and degradation

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundPatients on continuous flow ventricular assist devices (CF‐VADs) are at high risk for the development of Acquired von‐Willebrand Syndrome (AVWS) and non‐surgical bleeding. von Willebrand Factor (vWF) plays an essential role in maintaining hemostasis via platelet binding to the damaged endothelium to facilitate coagulation. In CF‐VAD patients, degradation of vWF into low MW multimers that are inefficient in facilitating coagulation occurs and has been primarily attributed to the supraphysiological shear stress associated with the CF‐VAD impeller.MethodsIn this review, we evaluate information from the literature regarding the unraveling behavior of surface‐immobilized vWF under pulsatile and continuous flow pertaining to: (A) the process of arterial endothelial vWF production and release into circulation, (B) the critical shear stress required to unravel surface bound versus soluble vWF which leads to degradation, and (C) the role of pulsatility in on the production and degradation of vWF.Results and ConclusionTaken together, these data suggests that the loss of pulsatility and its impact on arterial endothelial cells plays an important role in the production, release, unraveling, and proteolytic degradation of vWF into low MW multimers, contributing to the development of AVWS. Restoration of pulsatility can potentially mitigate this issue by preventing AVWS and minimizing the risk of non‐surgical bleeding.
Flexible labour market and trade unions: Surprising career paths of Dutch sub‐Saharan Africans

Published: November 2022

AbstractStarting from the empirical evidence that minorities are more likely to work on flexible contracts, we investigated the existence of an ethnic gap in flexible contracts between the native Dutch population and sub‐Saharan African immigrants between 2006 and 2012. The migrant group is taken as a test case of ‘outsiders’. This study found, quite surprisingly and contrary to what several theories predict, that the expected ethnic gap in job status between the two groups disappeared in the 6 years between 2006 and 2012. Many sub‐Saharan Africans successfully transformed their flexible contracts into permanent ones, catching up with the native Dutch by 2012. The analysis of the statutory provisions showed that the workforce numerical composition in the cleaning industry was important for the inclusiveness of sub‐Saharan immigrants. This numerical compositional effect was facilitated by the collective agreements negotiated by trade unions, agreements that were extended to temp workers. Sub‐Saharan Africans, overrepresented in the cleaning industry, have benefited disproportionally from the settled agreements. We thus conclude that trade unions can improve the inclusion of migrants not only by explicitly focusing on migrant representation but also by targeting sectors with an overrepresentation of migrants.
Long‐term sperm storage in eusocial Hymenoptera
Authors: Degueldre Félicien , Aron Serge 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTIn internally fertilizing species, sperm transfer is not always immediately followed by egg fertilization, and female sperm storage (FSS) may occur. FSS is a phenomenon in which females store sperm in a specialized organ for periods lasting from a few hours to several years, depending on the species. Eusocial hymenopterans (ants, social bees, and social wasps) hold the record for FSS duration. In these species, mating takes place during a single nuptial flight that occurs early in adult life for both sexes; they never mate again. Males die quickly after copulation but survive posthumously as sperm stored in their mates' spermathecae. Reproductive females, also known as queens, have a much longer life expectancy, up to 20 years in some species. Here, we review what is currently known about the molecular adaptations underlying the remarkable FSS capacities in eusocial hymenopterans. Because sperm quality is crucial to the reproductive success of both sexes, we also discuss the mechanisms involved in sperm storage and preservation in the male seminal vesicles prior to ejaculation. Finally, we propose future research directions that should broaden our understanding of this unique biological phenomenon.
‘The invisible babies’: Exploring the ecosystemic challenges and opportunities of childcare for undocumented asylum‐seeking infants and toddlers
Authors: Mayer Yael 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper examines the case of community daycares for undocumented children of asylum‐seeking families in Israel named the ‘Babysitters’. It explores how lack of support and national solutions for childcare leads to temporal and unregulated childcare solutions that may risk children's lives and development. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory is utilized in this paper to explore the challenges and opportunities of early childhood education for young children in asylum‐seeking families. The analysis reveals how the lack of clear policies, absence of national responsibilities, and existing societal barriers to early childhood education compelled asylum‐seeking parents in Israel to use the ‘Babysitters’ community daycares for infants and toddlers. Putative solutions that require policy change could help address youngsters' early childhood education needs in asylum‐seeking families and align with human rights and international treaties.
Infectious mononucleosis is associated with an increased incidence of NAFLD

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundNon‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the leading cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Although various genetic and lifestyle‐related risk factors have been identified, its pathophysiology has not yet been fully unravelled. While acute EBV infection in the setting of infectious mononucleosis can lead to acute hepatitis, the long‐term hepatic sequelae of infectious mononucleosis are still poorly understood.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 13,859 patients with and 13,859 matched individuals without infectious mononucleosis from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA). Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between infectious mononucleosis and NAFLD.ResultsWithin 10 years of the index date, 2.64% of patients with infectious mononucleosis and 1.78% of individuals without infectious mononucleosis had been diagnosed with NAFLD (p < .001). The incidence of NAFLD was 263.9 cases per 100,000 person‐years among individuals with infectious mononucleosis and 164.5 cases per 100,000 person‐years among those without. Multivariable regression analyses indicated that infectious mononucleosis was significantly associated with the incidence of NAFLD (HR: 1.73) both among women (HR: 1.73) and among men (HR: 1.70). In age‐stratified analyses, the association between infectious mononucleosis and NAFLD was most pronounced for the groups aged between 41 and 50 years (HR: 2.94) and >50 years (HR: 2.68).ConclusionInfectious mononucleosis is significantly associated with the incidence of NAFLD in a large cohort from Germany. These findings suggest a pathophysiological involvement of EBV in the development of NAFLD and could stimulate research efforts to better understand the pathophysiology of this emerging global medical burden.

AbstractIntroduction and AimStrength exercise training is advised for people with hemophilia (PWH); however, few studies have been published and have methodological limitations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive elastic resistance training on quality of life and perceived functional abilities in PWH.MethodsParticipants were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 10) or control (n = 10) group. The intervention group performed progressive moderate‐vigorous elastic resistance training (2 days/week, a total of 8 weeks), focusing on the muscles of the knee, elbow, and ankle joints. The control group continued its usual daily activities for 8 weeks. Quality of life (A36 Hemofilia‐QoL®) and perceived functional abilities (Haemophilia Activities List) were assessed at baseline and an 8‐week follow‐up.ResultsThe intervention group improved the quality‐of‐life dimension of joint damage perception in comparison to the control group (p = .015, large effect size). Regarding perceived functional abilities, the intervention group improved lying, sitting, kneeling, and standing (p = .006, small effect size), and complex lower extremities activities (i.e., walking short and long‐distance, and up‐down stairs) (p = .006, small effect size) compared to the control group. No other significant differences were observed.ConclusionsEight weeks of progressive moderate‐vigorous elastic resistance training in PWH improve the quality‐of‐life dimension of joint damage perception and perceived functional abilities (lying/sitting/kneeling/standing, and complex lower extremities activities). Our results suggest a limited effect of the program on the other items of quality of life measured by the questionnaire as emotional functioning, mental health, and social relationships. Importantly, no serious adverse effects occurred.

AbstractObjectiveProgressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1 (EPM1) is caused by biallelic alterations in the CSTB gene, most commonly dodecamer repeat expansions. Although transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)–induced long‐interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) was previously reported to be normal in EPM1, short‐interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) was reduced. We explored the association between these measures and the clinical and genetic features in a separate group of patients with EPM1.MethodsTMS combined with electromyography was performed under neuronavigation. LICI was induced with an inter‐stimulus interval (ISI) of 100 ms, and SICI with ISIs of 2 and 3 ms, and their means (mSICIs) were expressed as the ratio of conditioned to unconditioned stimuli. LICI and mSICI were compared between patients and controls. Nonparametric correlation was used to study the association between inhibition and parameters of clinical severity, including the Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS); among patients with EPM1 due to biallelic expansion repeats, also the association with the number of repeats was assessed.ResultsThe study protocol was completed in 19 patients (15 with biallelic expansion repeats and 4 compound heterozygotes), and 7 healthy, age‐ and sex‐matched control participants. Compared to controls, patients demonstrated significantly less SICI (median mSICI ratio 1.18 vs 0.38; p < .001). Neither LICI nor SICI was associated with parameters of clinical severity. In participants with biallelic repeat expansions, the number of repeats in the more affected allele (greater repeat number [GRN]) correlated with LICI (rho = 0.872; p < .001) and SICI (rho = 0.689; p = .006).SignificanceOur results strengthen the finding of deranged γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic inhibition in EPM1. LICI and SICI may have use as markers of GABAergic impairment in future trials of disease‐modifying treatment in this condition. Whether a higher number of expansion repeats leads to greater GABAergic impairment warrants further study.

Published: November 2022

AbstractChemokines are a group of small proteins that induce chemoattraction and inflammation and contribute to the differentiation and homeostasis of various cell types. Here we explored the role of chemokines, extracellular matrix production, and myofibroblast differentiation in self‐assembled skin equivalents (SASE), a three‐dimensional (3D) skin‐equivalent tissue model. We found that the expression of three chemokines, C‐C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 20, C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) 5, and CXCL8, increased with differentiation to myofibroblasts. Addition of recombinant CCL20 to human skin fibroblast induced collagen Type I alpha 2 gene expression, but did not affect the expression of alpha smooth muscle actin expression. Conversely, siRNA gene knockdown of CCL20 effectively inhibited the expression of collagen Type I gene and protein. Furthermore, when the CCL20 gene in fibroblasts was knocked down in SASE, collagen Type I synthesis and stromal thickness were decreased. Taken together, these results have indicated the utility of SASE in understanding how cytokines such as CCL20 positively regulate extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen Type I production during myofibroblast differentiation in 3D tissues that mimic human skin.
Ductile failure and damage localization in Al6061‐T6 characterized by in situ X‐ray computed tomography and neural network segmentation
Authors: Seede Raiyan , Johnson Kyle , Noell Philip J. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDamage initiation and localization in uniaxial tension tests of an Al6061‐T6 alloy are evaluated and quantified using in situ X‐ray computed tomography and a neural network segmentation strategy. This segmentation strategy offers significant advantages over traditional thresholding in quantifying microstructural and damage evolution metrics. Void nucleation was observed to occur throughout the deformation process, whereas void volume did not grow significantly until later stages of deformation. Localized analysis determined that void nucleation begins in and around the necked region during the early stages of deformation, whereas limited damage nucleation occurs outside of the neck until late stages of deformation. Lastly, inhomogeneities in void and particle spacing in the initial undeformed state of the material are observed to correlate well with the location of damage localization and necking during deformation. These results provide new insights into the ductile failure of Al alloys and how preexisting defects influence damage and rupture.
Linking multiple hypotheses to a unifying framework of range‐size variation: A case study with American oaks (Quercus spp.)
Authors: Wu Yingtong , Ricklefs Robert E. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAimClosely related species vary greatly in range size. To understand what drives range‐size variation, we established an integrative framework focusing on two causal pathways: the amount of currently suitable habitat (ASH) and range filling (i.e., the occupancy of ASH). Instead of testing different hypotheses in isolation, we linked four hypotheses to this unifying framework: we tested the niche breadth and niche position hypotheses, which explain range‐size variation via effects on ASH; we also tested the colonization ability and post‐glacial migration lag hypotheses, which explain range‐size variation via range filling.LocationThe Americas.Time periodLast Glacial Maximum (LGM) to present.Major taxa studiedOne hundred and eighty‐three oak species.MethodsWe extracted locality records and measured range size as the area of occupancy (AOO) and extent of occurrence (EOO). We used Maxent models and current environmental layers to quantify ASH, niche breadth and niche position. We used seven phenotypic traits as proxies of colonization ability. We calculated post‐glacial accessibility to currently suitable habitat, in addition to the proportion of currently suitable habitat covered by LGM ice sheets. Using structural equation models and regression models, we tested the four hypotheses. Finally, we examined how ASH and range filling contributed interactively to range‐size variation by quantifying variance and covariance.ResultsOur results supported all four hypotheses. Additionally, we found that variance in ASH and range filling contributed to a similar extent to variance in AOO, with almost zero covariance between ASH and range filling. In contrast, range filling accounted for almost all the variance in EOO, and we detected a significant negative covariance between ASH and range filling.Main conclusionsIn oaks, factors associated with range filling are at least as important as niche properties in determining range size. Our framework is generalizable to other study systems for testing the contributions of two pathways, ASH and range filling, to range‐size variation.
