Scenarios of change in the realized climatic niche of mountain carnivores and ungulates
Authors: Dragonetti Chiara , Mendez Angarita Valeria Y. , Di Marco Moreno 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMountains are among the natural systems most affected by climate change, and mountain mammals are considered particularly imperiled, given their high degree of specialization to narrow tolerance bands of environmental conditions. Climate change mitigation policies, such as the Paris Agreement, are essential to stem climate change impacts on natural systems. But how significant is the Paris Agreement to the survival of mountain mammals? We investigated how alternative emission scenarios may determine change in the realized climatic niche of mountain carnivores and ungulates in 2050. We based our predictions of future change in species niches based on how species have responded to past environmental changes, focusing on the probabilities of niche shrink and niche stability. We found that achieving the Paris Agreement's commitments would substantially reduce climate instability for mountain species. Specifically, limiting global warming to below 1.5°C would reduce the probability of niche shrinkage by 4% compared with a high‐emission scenario. Globally, carnivores showed greater niche shrinkage than ungulates, whereas ungulates were more likely to shift their niches (i.e., face a level of climate change that allows adaptation). Twenty‐three species threatened by climate change according to the IUCN Red List had greater niche contraction than other species we analyzed (3% higher on average). We therefore argue that climate mitigation policies must be coupled with rapid species‐specific conservation intervention and sustainable land‐use policies to avoid high risk of loss of already vulnerable species.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe global pet trade is a major risk to biodiversity and humans and has become increasingly globalized, diversified, digitalized, and extremely difficult to control. With billions of internet users posting online daily, social media could be a powerful surveillance tool. But it is unknown how reliably social media can track the global pet trade. We tested whether Instagram data predicted the geographic distribution of pet stores and the taxonomic composition of traded species in the emerging pet trade in ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). We visited 138 online stores selling ants as pets worldwide and recorded the species traded. We scraped ∼38,000 Instagram posts from ∼6300 users referencing ants as pets and analyzed comments on post and geolocation (available for ∼1800 users). We tested whether the number of Instagram users predicted the number of ant sellers per country and whether the species referenced as pets on Instagram matched the species offered in online stores, with a particular focus on invasive species. The location of Instagram users referencing ants as pets predicted the location of ant sellers across the globe (R2 = 0.87). Instagram data detected 439 of the 631 ant species traded in online stores (70%), including 59 of the 68 invasive species traded (87%). The number of Instagram users referencing a species was a good predictor of the number of sellers offering the species (R2 = 0.77). Overall, Instagram data provided affordable and reliable data for monitoring the emerging pet trade in ants. Easier access to these data would facilitate monitoring of the global pet trade and help implement relevant regulations in a timely manner.

AbstractIntroductionAlcohol abstinence remains common among adults globally, although low and middle‐income countries are experiencing declines in abstention. The effect of alcohol policies on lifetime abstinence is poorly understood. The International Alcohol Control (IAC) policy index was developed to benchmark and monitor the uptake of effective alcohol policies and has shown strong associations with alcohol per capita consumption and drinking patterns. Uniquely, the index incorporates both policy ‘stringency’ and ‘impact’, reflecting policy implementation and enforcement, across effective policies. Here we assessed the association of the IAC policy index with lifetime abstinence in a diverse sample of jurisdictions.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of the relationship between the IAC policy index score, and its components, and lifetime abstinence among adults (15+ years) in 13 high and middle‐income jurisdictions. We examined the correlations for each component of the index and stringency and impact separately.ResultsOverall, the total IAC policy index scores were positively correlated with lifetime abstinence (r = 0.76), as were both the stringency (r = 0.62) and impact (r = 0.82) scores. Marketing restrictions showed higher correlations with lifetime abstinence than other policy domains (r = 0.80), including restrictions on physical availability, pricing policies and drink‐driving prevention.Discussion and ConclusionOur findings suggest that restricting alcohol marketing could be an important policy for the protection of alcohol abstention. The IAC policy index may be a useful tool to benchmark the performance of alcohol policy in supporting alcohol abstention in high and middle‐income countries.

ObjectivesMany studies showed better outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) when compared with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (P‐GBD) in which most tubes were left in situ. However, no studies have directly compared EUS‐GBD with P‐GBD after tube removal (ex situ). We compared the long‐term outcomes of EUS‐GBD and ex situ or in situ P‐GBD in high surgical risk patients with acute cholecystitis.MethodsWe reviewed the records of 182 patients (EUS‐GBD, n = 75; P‐GBD, n = 107) who underwent gallbladder drainage. The procedural outcomes, long‐term outcomes, and adverse events were compared.ResultsThe EUS‐GBD group and the P‐GBD group had similar rates of technical and clinical success. Early adverse events were less common in the EUS‐GBD group (5.5% vs. 18.9%, P = 0.010). The long‐term outcomes were evaluated in 168 patients (EUS‐GBD, n = 67; P‐GBD ex situ, n = 84; P‐GBD in situ, n = 17). The rate of cholecystitis recurrence in the EUS‐GBD group (6.0%) was similar to that in the P‐GBD ex situ group (9.6%, P = 0.422), but significantly lower than that in the P‐GBD in situ group (23.5%, P = 0.049). P‐GBD in situ was a significant predictor of recurrent cholecystitis (hazard ratio 14.6; 95% confidence interval 2.9–72.8).ConclusionThe long‐term recurrence rate of acute cholecystitis in patients who underwent EUS‐GBD was comparable to that in patients whose P‐GBD could be removed. However, patients in whom P‐GBD could not be removed showed higher rates of recurrent cholecystitis than patients with EUS‐GBD.

AbstractAimsHybrid closed‐loop (HCL) systems are characterised by integrating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with insulin pumps that automate insulin delivery via specific algorithms and user‐initiated insulin delivery. The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness of HCLs on HbA1c, time‐in‐range (TIR), hypoglycaemia frequency and quality of life measures in children and young people (CYP) with T1D, and their carers.MethodsPatients were recruited prospectively into the National Health Service (NHS) England real‐world HCL observational study from the 1st of August 2021 to the 10th of December 2022 from eight paediatric diabetes centres in England.ResultsThere were 251 CYP (147 males, 58%) with T1DM recruited with a mean age at recruitment of 12.3 (SD 3.5) (range 2–19) years. Eighty nine per cent of the CYP were of white ethnicity, 3% Asian, 4% black and 3% mixed ethnicity, and 1% were recorded as others. The HCL systems used in the study were: (1) Tandem Control‐IQ AP system, which uses the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump (Tandem Diabetes Care, San Diego, CA) with the Dexcom G6® CGM (Dexcom, San Diego, CA) sensor; (2) Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G (Medtronic, Northridge, CA) and (3) CamAPS FX (CamDiab, Cambridge, UK.) All systems were fully funded by the national health service.ConclusionsThe results of the NHS England Closed Loop Study in Children and Young People showed improvements in glycaemic control, TIR, frequency of hypoglycaemia, hypoglycaemia fear and quality of sleep for children and young people when using HCL for 6 months. Hypoglycaemia fear and quality of sleep were also improved for their parents and carers at 6 months.
Following the ‘hype’: The role of leisure practices during ‘homeland’ visits in transnational youth's way of relating to Ghana
Authors: Akom Ankobrey Gladys 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDrawing on 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork in the Netherlands and Ghana, this paper combines ‘return’ mobilities literature and youth studies to analyse the role of leisure practices during ‘homeland’ visits in transnational youth's way of relating to Ghana when they are entering into adulthood. Using the notion of mobility trajectories, the paper shows that leisure practices facilitate young people's ability to establish and renew intimate transnational relationships with diasporic friends, and Ghana‐based same‐generation relatives and romantic partners. Differing from earlier stays in Ghana, young people expressed their emerging sense of independence by exploring alternative sides of the country with these peers, based on common interests and belonging to the same life‐cycle cohort. The findings add complexity to the notion of the ‘homeland’ as a monolithic place of reconnecting with family and roots by drawing attention to the intersection between young people's pathways to adulthood and transnational mobility.
Circling the divide: Gendered invisibility, precarity, and professional service work in a UK business school
Authors: Seymour Kate 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWithin UK business schools, there are large numbers of female and feminized white‐collar professional service (PS) employees in disproportionately low‐paid, low‐status roles, but surprisingly, they are largely invisible within the literature on sexism and gender inequalities in academia. This paper conceptualizes PS experiences by examining how forms of gendered invisibility affect professional staff working in the hybrid “third” space between academic and administrative realms. I develop a conceptual analysis of invisibility—of invisible work and as invisible worker—arising from the performance of professional and academic work. This allows me to analyze and distinguish forms of what I call service, professional and professional‐academic housework, demonstrating how these are thoroughly imbricated in dominant patriarchal cultural ideologies of gender. In developing this schema, I draw self‐reflexively on my own experiences of “circling the divide” within a UK business school, developing a rich, multi‐perspectival account of the ways visibility and invisibility were experienced in the role of a particular third space professional and “academic‐in‐waiting.” This paper therefore contributes a systematic conceptualization of gendered invisible housework performed by PS staff within a politicized third space of UK business schools. It also brings often hidden PS “academics‐in‐waiting” into the literature on feminized precarity in the academy.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectiveA combined treatment using both low‐frequency (20 kHz) and high‐frequency ultrasounds (1.63 MHz) is a promising new process to stabilize emulsions with minimalist formulation. In order to optimize process parameters, a Doehlert experimental design was performed with oil‐in‐water emulsions, presently used for cosmetic products, composed of water, caprylic/capric triglycerides and oleic acid.MethodsEffects of treatment time, oil content and oleic acid content were studied on emulsion properties (droplet size, polydispersity index, ζ‐potential and yield of oil incorporation) and on emulsion stability after a 28‐day storage (creaming index, Turbiscan stability index (TSI) and oil release).ResultsFrom experimental data, a model was established that allowed to study effects of each parameter and their interactions on emulsion formation and stability. Oleic acid content had a great impact on emulsion formation: It reduced droplet size, PDI and ζ‐potential and increased yield of oil incorporation. However, a critical value could be highlighted, beyond which oleic acid effects reversed. Treatment time had an important beneficial effect on emulsion stability as it decreased creaming index, TSI and oil release after 28 days of storage. Oil content had a negative effect on emulsion formation and on emulsion stability. However, treatment time and oil content often had a beneficial synergistic effect.ConclusionThe optimized conditions for emulsion processing were obtained through a desirability approach. They were experimentally validated.
Fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis in consumer research: A systematic literature review
Authors: Diwanji Vaibhav Shwetangbhai 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe traditional symmetrical methods may not be sufficient for effectively examining the asymmetries that are evident in the real‐world complex consumption context in the form of pandemic, and other technological, sociocultural, environmental, and geo‐political factors. As a result, the use of innovative and asymmetrical methods such as fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), which draws from the complexity theory could help better predict and explain consumer decisions in the age of disruptions. Through a comprehensive method‐based systematic literature review of 129 research articles published in the consumer behavior research literature, this study helps to identify the key trends, leading publication sources and contributors, and the current knowledge structure of consumer research using fsQCA. In doing so, this review also sheds light on the state of diversity within this particular area of research. The findings help identify the key future avenues for utilizing fsQCA within consumer research. This review is a useful resource for practitioners to gain a direct access to key consumer research scholars for identifying the constructs (e.g., antecedents, mediators, moderators, enablers, inhibitors) shaping consumer behaviors to inform strategic decisions.
Immune–stem cell crosstalk in the central nervous system: how oligodendrocyte progenitor cells interact with immune cells

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe interaction between immune and stem cells has proven essential for homeostasis and regeneration in a wide range of tissues. However, because the central nervous system was long considered an immune‐privileged organ, its immune–stem cell axis was not deeply investigated until recently. Research has shown that oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), a highly abundant population of adult brain stem cells, establish bidirectional interactions with the immune system. Here, we provide an overview of the interactions that OPCs have with tissue‐resident and recruited immune cells, paying particular attention to the role they play in myelin regeneration and neuroinflammation. We highlight the described role of OPCs as key active players in neuroinflammation, overriding the previous concept that OPCs are mere recipients of immune signals. Understanding the mechanisms behind this bidirectional interaction holds great potential for the development of novel therapeutic approaches limiting neuroinflammation and promoting myelin repair. A better understanding of the central nervous system's immune–stem cell axis will also be key for tackling two important features shared across neurodegenerative diseases, neuroinflammation and myelin loss.

AbstractAimEstablish linkages between components of the Self‐ and Family Management Framework and outcomes of the Nursing Outcomes Classification to evaluate the comprehensiveness of outcomes addressing self‐ and family management in the Nursing Outcomes Classification.DesignDescriptive study.MethodsExperts conducted a six‐step process to establish linkages: (1) preliminary mapping of all relevant nursing outcomes to the framework; (2) development of checklists for team members serving as ‘identifiers’ and ‘reviewers’; (3) mapping all relevant nursing outcomes to the framework; (4) final agreement on mapped outcomes; (5) establishment of inter‐rater reliability; and (6) discussion of findings with authors of the Self‐ and Family Management Framework.ResultsThree hundred and sixty‐three nursing outcomes were identified as related to the management of chronic disease across all components of the framework: outcomes related to patient self‐management (n = 336), family functioning (n = 16) and family caregivers (n = 11).ConclusionThe Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes comprehensively address self‐management, and, less so, family functioning, and caregivers.Implications: Established linkages can be used by nurses to track and support patient and family management outcomes across the care continuum.Patient or public contributionLinking standardized nursing outcomes to the Self‐ and Family Management Framework can assist in goal setting and measurement of nursing care during chronic disease management. This work can help describe to funders, policy makers and others invested in health care reform the specific contributions of nurses to self‐ and family management of chronic disease.ImpactThis paper demonstrates the linkages between components of the Self‐ and Family Management Framework and Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes. The results of this study offer the opportunity to quantify the impact of nursing care and enhance nursing practice for patients with chronic conditions as well as contribute to developing Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes that consider self‐management processes.
Does the threat of takeover affect default risk?
Authors: Balachandran Balasingham , Duong Huu Nhan , van Zijl Tony , Zudana Arfian Erma 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe examine the impact of the threat of takeovers on default risk. Using a sample of 50,189 firm‐year observations for US firms over the period 1990–2015, we find that the threat of takeovers has a negative relation with default risk. We use difference‐in‐difference analysis to address potential endogeneity concerns and propensity score matching to control for self‐selection bias. The results are robust to alternative measures of default risk and exclusion of the dot com and financial crisis periods. Our results also hold after controlling for Governance Index and Entrenchment Index. We identify improvement in performance and earnings quality in response to the threat of takeovers as channels underlying our main result. The effect of the threat of takeovers on default risk is more pronounced for firms with opaque information environment and low institutional ownership. Our findings provide important insights for the market for corporate control as a disciplining mechanism in reducing default risk.
Managerial myopia and the unintended real consequences of conditional conservatism
Authors: Chung Byung Hun , Collins Daniel W. , Song Jane Z. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe examine whether the demand for conditional conservatism produces unintended real consequences that are exacerbated by managerial incentives to report higher earnings. We document a robust positive association between conditional conservatism and real earnings management (REM), particularly for firms whose CEOs face greater compensation incentives and capital market incentives to report higher earnings. Using mediation analyses, we find that conservatism has a negative indirect relation with future returns via REM over the next 1–3 years. In additional tests, we find that the relation between conservatism and REM is attenuated for firms with higher debt‐to‐equity, which suggests that debtholders moderate the negative relation between conditional conservative reporting and REM. Our findings suggest that, in contrast to its monitoring benefit, conditional conservatism can exacerbate managerial myopia, resulting in negative consequences for future firm value.
Population structure of mud flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus from the south‐western Atlantic Ocean

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe mud flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus (Pleuronectiformes, Paralichthyidae) inhabits shallow waters of low salinities and mud bottoms in the temperate marine coastal regions of the Bonaerensean Ecoregion of the Argentinean Biogeographic Province in the south‐western Atlantic Ocean. Specimens of P. orbignyanus were collected from Lagoa dos Patos (LDP) (southern Brazil), Mar Chiquita (MCH) and Marisol (MAR) both located in Buenos Aires (Argentina), and San Antonio Oeste (SAO) in the San Matías Gulf, Rio Negro (Argentina). A fragment of the mitochondrial DNA of the Control Region and seven microsatellite loci were characterized. In the Control Region, P. orbignyanus showed high variability, low nucleotide diversity, mild population expansion and a coalescence time of 35,000 years before the present. Flounders provided evidence of a genetic structure between the sampling sites LDP, MCH, MAR vs. SAO. On the other hand, P. orbignyanus displayed a lower to moderate contemporary genetic structure among all samples except between LDP and MCH. With no evidence of isolation by distance, this analysis supports a model of limited gene flow that is likely to be associated with a consistent larvae retention in all sampling sites. In addition, the present connectivity is ascribed to a lower migration process from SAO in the San Matías Gulf congruent with the prevailing littoral drift.
