Simply the best? Star performers and high‐potential employees: Critical reflections and a path forward for research and practice
Authors: Kehoe Rebecca R. , Collings David G. , Cascio Wayne F. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn recent decades, scholars’ and practitioners’ interest in star performers and high‐potential employees (HiPos) has increased dramatically. To date, however, researchers have considered these two classifications of exceptional talent in relative isolation of one another, despite the fact that they are widely considered to comprise organizations’ most valuable employees. The current article identifies and explores key intersections in the heretofore‐siloed streams of research on star employees and HiPos. In so doing, we identify core assumptions, highlight questions that emerge at focal intersections, and offer a foundation for the cross‐fertilization of insights to strengthen the scholarly and practical impact of inquiry related to both groups. We then consider the implications of four significant recent trends in the world of work – increased employee mobility; greater focus on issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace; cross‐cultural issues; and the broader set of technological changes that are shaping the workplace – for research and practice related to stars and HiPos. Along the way, we highlight the integral and path‐breaking contributions of publications in Personnel Psychology to our knowledge about organizations’ best talent.
Is Jessie right to end her life?
Authors: Landau Iddo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPresupposing that our consideration of ethical issues can be enriched by examining literary works, this paper focuses on Marsha Norman's play ‘night, Mother. The play describes the last hour and a half in the life of Jessie, a young woman who decides to die by suicide. Before ending her life, Jessie explains to her mother her reasons for her suicide. In the context of the play, these are presented as quite weighty and as, perhaps, justifying her decision. Scholarly research on the play has also treated Jessie's suicide favorably. In this paper I argue that Jessie, and people in similar conditions, are wrong to die by suicide. Among other points, I criticize Jessie's arguments from the impossibility to improve life; the assured termination of suffering; the badness of the world; and the right for suicide. I also criticize arguments in the scholarly literature that view Jessie's suicide favorably, such as the arguments from independence, heroism, authenticity, and emotional closeness.

AbstractThis investigation reports the quality‐by‐design (QbD) assisted novel templated approach for developing cancer cell‐specific and laser‐activatable nanoseeds (AuraTherm) for targeted photothermal ablation of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). AuraTherm was nanometric in size as characterized by SEM, TEM and particle analysis (80.28 ± 2.56 nm; −21.80 ± 0.17 mV) with hemocompatibility and neutrality towards blood components. AuraTherm showed reversible photothermal effect (ΔT: 37 ± 1.2°C → 49.4 ± 1.5°C; 15 min; 2.4 W cm−2) employing near‐infrared 808 nm laser (NIR‐808). The targeted cytosolic localization led to a significant anticancer activity as evaluated using apoptosis assay, cell cycle analysis, Intracellular ROS generation assay, cellular uptake and receptor binding assay. The NIR‐808 laser‐responsive photothermal ablation of cancer cell was found to be more effective compared to without NIR‐808 laser‐treated counterparts, suggesting the fundamental role of photothermal ablation in the treatment of TNBC.

AbstractPhotodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) is a therapeutic technique, minimally invasive, which is currently used to treat cancerous lesions and tumors that have been in the spotlight for its potential over the recent decades. Nonetheless, PDT still needs further development to become a first‐option treatment for patients. This review compiles recent progress in several aspects of the current research in the constantly growing area of PDT to overcome the main challenges as an attempt to serve as a guide and reference for newcomers into this research area. This review has been prepared to highlight the use of chemical modifications on photosensitizers to improve their solubility, photostability, selectivity and phototoxicity. Additionally, the use of liposomes and cavitands as drug delivery systems to aid in the biodistribution and bioaccumulation of photosensitizers is presented. Also, the combination of PDT with chemotherapy or immunotherapy as an option to boost and improve treatment outcomes is discussed. Finally, the inhibition of antioxidant enzymes as a strategy for a synergistic effect to ameliorate the performance of the photosensitizers in PDT is presented as an alternative for future researchers.
Satirical strikes and deadpanning diplomats: Stiob as geopolitical performance in Russia–US relations
Authors: Hemment Julie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article examines humor as geopolitical performance in the context of Russia–US political communication. Humor has featured prominently in the mass‐mediated performances of Russian state actors since 2012. Public officials such as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have engaged in ambiguous play and satirical borrowings via the circulation of memes and other political theatrics. “Russiagate”—the scandal about Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election—proved to be a particular flashpoint. I draw on recent scholarship in anthropology and media studies as well as prior ethnographic work to account for these humorous performances and consider the work that they do. Dominant analyses view this humor in militarized terms, regarding it as part of a deliberate “hybrid war” strategy. I contend that deadpanning diplomats like Lavrov are produced when a transformed Soviet‐era humorous form, stiob, intersects with a hybridized and transnationally dialogic global media context, resulting in a volatile form of geopolitical communication. In taking this state propagated humor and the confusion it generates as ethnographic objects, I contribute to anthropological interrogations of the politics of post‐truth.
How patients with dementia influence caregiver burden using the Dementia Assessment Sheet for Community‐based Integrated Care System‐21 items (DASC‐21) and Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI)
Authors: Yoshino Hiroshi , Takechi Hajime 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundDementia is a disease that is frequently associated with significant caregiving burden. The present study was conducted on patients with dementia in order to investigate the causes of caregiver burden using the Dementia Assessment Sheet for Community‐based Integrated Care System‐21 items (DASC‐21) and Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI).MethodsThe study subjects consisted of 206 elderly patients (mean age: 80.9 ± 5.9 years) with dementia in an outpatient clinic. Current age, gender, type of dementia, Mini‐Mental State Examination, Hasegawa Dementia Scale‐Revised, Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the DASC‐21 were investigated. Caregiver burden was assessed by using the ZBI. Behavioural and Psychological Symptom of Dementia (BPSD) were evaluated by using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Simple regression analysis for the ZBI was performed with respective risk factors as independent variables. Thereafter, multiple regression analysis was performed.ResultsThe mean ZBI score was 28.0 ± 18.1, whereas mean DASC‐21 score was 44.4 ± 13.2. Simple regression analysis for the ZBI was performed with respective risk factors as independent variables. The DASC‐21 (P < 0.001), CDR (P < 0.001), NPI (P < 0.001), and GDS (P = 0.034) were significantly associated with the ZBI. For each item of the DASC‐21, Memory (P < 0.001), Orientation (P < 0.001), Solving issues/Common sense (P < 0.001), Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) outside the home (P < 0.001), IADL inside the home (P < 0.001), Physical ADL① (P < 0.001) and Physical ADL② (P = 0.014) were also significantly associated with the ZBI. To find the independent association of the ZBI, multiple regression analysis was performed. The results showed that DASC‐21 (P < 0.001) and NPI (P < 0.001) had significant correlation. For each item of the DASC‐21, Memory (P = 0.014) and Solving issues/Common sense (P < 0.001) were also shown to have significant correlation.ConclusionsBoth BPSD, cognition and IADL have affected caregiver burden. The DASC‐21 is useful for determining the causes of caregiver burden of dementia patients.
Reviving the Distinction between Positive and Negative Human Rights
Authors: Wibye Johan Vorland 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIncreasingly firm rejections of the distinction between positive and negative human rights as incoherent have created a gap between theory and practice, as well as tensions within legal doctrinal and philosophical literature. This article argues that the distinction can be preserved by means of a structural account of the interaction of duties within human rights, anchored in case law on the right to freedom of assembly in Article 11, the right to free elections in Article 3 of Protocol 1, and the right to security as enshrined in Articles 2, 3, 5, and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

AbstractBiofouling, the biological process leading to the accumulation of microorganisms, has been promoted for over a decade in aquaculture, particularly in biofloc technology, biofilm‐based systems and recently aquamimicry. However, the science behind biofouling is largely unknown in aquaculture. This document brings the science behind the biofouling process, reviews and analyses available information about the different phases of such a unique natural process. In aquatic or high humidity environments, substrata rapidly become colonized by microbes. After molecules form a thin film on any surface, bacterial adhesions occur and bacteria–bacteria, bacteria–eukaryotes and bacteria–substrate interactions take place; bacterial adhesion entails the production of adhesins and polysaccharides production. Coaggregation continues after irreversible adhesion, but the activated genes during the adhesion process associated with flagella and pili are suppressed in this stage. Throughout the process, bacteria communicate by excreting signalling or self‐inducing molecules, and other bacteria recognize these molecules that serve as a sort of checkpoint associated with their accumulation. Thereafter, the maturation phase is achieved and usually characterized by a colony equilibrium; some bacteria and other microorganisms achieve prominence in the colony, and many of the members have their functions and contributions to the microbial community. Finally, the detachment involves a complex but coordinated process involving several environmental signals, signal transduction pathways and effectors, promoting biofilm or biofloc split and dispersal to start the process again. In conclusion, biofouling is a complex, multifaceted process, but a deeper understanding of it and its consequent regulation would benefit microorganism‐based aquaculture.
Composition of fine‐grained sediment in the Hikurangi Trough: Evidence for intermingling among axial gravity flows, transverse gravity flows and margin‐parallel ocean currents
Authors: Underwood Michael B. 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTThe International Ocean Discovery Program cored five sites during Expeditions 372 and 375 to investigate the Hikurangi margin, offshore Poverty Bay, North Island, New Zealand. Trench‐wedge deposits were recovered at Site U1520, and the frontal accretionary prism was cored at Site U1518. Based on X‐ray diffraction analyses of the clay‐sized fraction, illite and smectite are the dominant clay minerals. Compositional scatter is unusually large, and a well‐defined mixing trend is evident between illite‐rich and smectite‐rich end members. The proportion of smectite ranges from 9 to 59 wt.% at Site U1518 and from 12 to 62 wt.% at Site U1520. Nearby slope deposits at Sites U1517 and U1519 are more homogeneous, with consistently higher proportions of smectite. The East Cape Current is probably responsible for transporting smectite‐rich suspensions towards the south‐west from sources that include the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Illite‐rich muds require different sources and different routing paths to the trench. Some suspended sediment probably originated in the Waipaoa watershed on the North Island, entering the trench via Māhia Canyon. Other gravity flows probably started in Kaikōura Canyon or Cook Strait and moved towards the north‐east, down the trench's axial channel. The influence of turbidity currents on clay composition changes with water depth, as do the effects of reworking by contour currents and the role of passive hemipelagic settling. The broad continuum of clay compositions in the trench is enhanced by variable amounts of mixing among multiple ocean currents and fluctuating durations of suspension within a bottom nepheloid layer. That complexity deviates from the paradigm of turbidite‐dominated trench wedges. The margin's compositional diversity also complicates the goal of predicting or modelling three‐dimensional variations in frictional, geotechnical and hydrogeological properties. Those lithological properties are important because they affect slope stability along strike and changes in fault‐slip behaviour along the subduction interface.

BackgroundUniversity students often exhibit high levels of sedentary behavior that is negatively associated with cognition and mood. On the other hand, light‐intensity physical activity (LIPA) may improve cognitive performance and mood. Therefore, this study investigated the acute effect of LIPA breaks during prolonged sitting on attention, executive functioning, and mood.MethodsA randomized crossover design was used in this study. In total, 21 healthy adults (15 women, age = 24 ± 3 years, BMI = 23 ± 2 kg/m2) completed three prolonged sitting conditions: (1) without a demanding cognitive task (SIT), (2) with a demanding cognitive task (COGN), and (3) with every 25 min sitting interrupted by a 5‐minute walk (INTERRUPT). Attention, executive function (response inhibition, task shifting, and working memory updating), and mood were assessed before and after each condition.ResultsLinear mixed models analyses showed that prolonged sitting frequently interrupted by LIPA (INTERRUPT) or with cognitively demanding activities (COGN) significantly improved task shifting compared to SIT. However, INTERRUPT did not significantly improve task shifting compared with COGN. No significant acute effects on attention, response inhibition, working memory updating, or mood were found.ConclusionsFrequent LIPA breaks or cognitively demanding activities have a selective, acute positive impact on one aspect of cognitive performance compared to idle sitting. No evidence was found that LIPA breaks have an acute improvement in attention, executive function, and mood compared to sitting with cognitive loading. To further investigate the effect of PA on cognitive performance, it is necessary to consider cognitive loading and control for the cognitive activity during sitting in the experimental design.
Compromised skin barrier induced by prolonged face mask usage during the COVID‐19 pandemic and its remedy with proper moisturization

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundProlonged face mask usage, a daily practice for the public due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, creates high levels of humidity underneath the mask, which may cause unexpected skin concerns.ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of repeated mask usage on the face by comparing skin properties inside and outside of the mask‐covered areas.MethodsA double‐blinded, randomized, split‐face clinical study was conducted with 21 healthy female participants who wore face masks at least 6 h every day for 1 week, with one side of their face treated with a moisturizer three times daily. On day 8, after 5 h of wearing the mask, skin properties (sebum, hydration, and trans‐epidermal water loss [TEWL]) were evaluated at 15, 60, and 120 min post‐mask removal, followed by barrier disruption and recovery assessment.ResultsMask usage weakened stratum corneum (SC) on facial skin compared to uncovered areas, including reduced SC hydration (p < 0.02 at 15 min) and increased TEWL in response to tape stripping challenge (p < 0.03 after stripping). In addition, sebum production also increased after mask removal (p < 0.01 at 15 min). Notably, a daily moisturizer mitigated these effects by increasing SC hydration (p < 0.001) and improving SC resilience against barrier disruption.ConclusionDaily prolonged usage of a facial mask, essential due to the COVID‐19 situation, generated a high‐humidity microenvironment and led to compromised SC, which was revealed by a barrier challenge technique. Moreover, proper facial moisturization may help to maintain skin homeostasis and prevent the barrier impairment caused by repeated mask usage.
Academic self‐concept in physics: A multidimensional and hierarchical model based on learning targets
Authors: Jahanifar Mojtaba 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe academic self‐concept (ASC) is a domain‐specific construct, which plays an influential role in academic motivation and choices. Although some ASC models and instruments have been developed for mathematics and science, none have been specifically designed to measure the physics ASC. Therefore, this study focuses on designing and validating a model for measuring the physics ASC. In the proposed model, students' physic academic self‐perception is measured by a novel instrument called Physics Academic Self‐Concept Inventory (PASCI) based on domain‐specific learning targets. The major physics learning targets considered in the PASCI design are physics knowledge, attitudes toward physics, and physics‐related skills. Confirmatory factor analysis and psychometric methods are used to test and validate the proposed model and the PASCI instrument on the data collected from 861 male and female students attending secondary high schools in Iran. The results indicate that the devised model has appropriate fit measures and robust structural validity so that in multiple group analysis, model parameters are invariant. The author suggests that the idea of physics ASC should be modeled as a hierarchical and multidimensional structure based on physics learning targets to be effectively helpful to physics education researchers and teaching physics in classrooms.
Interaction pattern analysis for WebGIS usability evaluation
Authors: Unrau René , Kudekar Aditya , Kray Christian 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWeb‐based geographic information systems (WebGIS) are increasingly common and accessed by various types of users. However, evaluating their usability is hard, as interactions with the map and provided functionality can be complex. We present a novel approach to remotely assess WebGIS usability and identify design flaws by logging user interface (UI) interactions and applying pattern mining techniques to the resulting datasets. We conducted an online user study with 40 participants in a realistic WebGIS scenario to validate the approach. The results show that applying this concept can provide insights into user strategies and can reveal usability issues, which can help to improve UIs for WebGIS. Designers can use the methods presented here to assess the usability of their WebGIS rapidly and at scale without carrying out expensive and lengthy in‐person user studies. This article also contributes to a better understanding of the challenges and limitations of remotely conducted usability evaluations for WebGIS.
Clinical consequences of a 30‐day interval between antibody identifications
Authors: Steele Jasmine , Herman Michele , Norfolk Adam , Haspel Richard L. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundWhile studies have shown that antibody detection may be delayed if an antibody identification (ABID) is not performed every 3 days, little data exist on the potential major risk of an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (aHTR).Study Design and MethodsAt our institution, if no change in the screen, or a positive crossmatch, ABIDs are performed every 30 days. Between January 1, 2015 and May 31, 2019, all new antibodies detected within 28 days of a prior transfusion were identified. Testing results and patient charts were reviewed for evidence of hemolysis. The $211 patient charge was used to determine the cost for ABIDs performed during the studied time period.ResultsFor 36 patients, a new clinically significant alloantibody was detected within 28 days of an antigen‐positive transfusion. Only one of these patients had a history of prior alloimmunization and put at possible risk due to the ABID policy. For this patient, while there was less than the expected increment to an antigen‐positive unit, there was no clinical or laboratory evidence of an aHTR. During this same time, 6095 ABIDs were performed, at a cost of approximately $1.29 million, and 72,665 red cell transfusions occurred.ConclusionWith an ABID every 30 days, only one patient, over 4.5 years, was put at potential risk for hemolysis from one transfusion (0.001% of the total units transfused during the time period). While antibody detection may be delayed, performing ABIDs every 30 days saves money and medical laboratory scientist time and should be balanced against potential patient harm.
