Long-term alterations of ERP systems: lasting through relinquishment and regeneration
Authors: Dambrin Claire , Grall Bénédicte 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper highlights how technical devices last in organizations. Instead of focusing on the usual implementation or short-term post-implementation phases, this study aims to explore what happens to established technical devices.Design/methodology/approachThe authors build on a 10-year in-depth longitudinal case study examining a CRM package, a type of Enterprise Resource Planning system specialized in customer relationship management, in a door-drop advertising company. This case is based mainly on 35 interviews and four weeks of non-participant observation, made over three different periods.FindingsDrawing on the literature on drift and maintenance, this study investigates two tensions foregrounding lasting: one regarding the degree of human intervention on the technical device (object being maintained vs object maintaining itself) and one regarding the relationship to the initial expectations towards the technical device (relinquishment of certain hopes vs regeneration of interests). This case combines these tensions and allows to highlight four alterations in the CRM system to show how apparently stable devices keep on changing.Social implicationsIn a time of resource exhaustion, it is important to reflect upon our relationships to information technology and their modalities of lasting. By stressing that uses emerge from relinquishment and reduction, the authors wish to help organizations move towards more sustainable engagement with their technical devices in the long run.Originality/valueLasting is not just a matter of being maintained in a context of threat but also builds upon the capacities of a technical device to maintain itself. The self-alteration dynamics that the authors come up with, shedding and ramification, offer a dedramatized interpretation of maintenance that complements studies on institutional maintenance. The results also contribute to studies on technological drift. The authors stress that drifts are triggered by ties that run out, in particular, discontinuation of maintenance in the system. The durability of technical devices in organizations thus does not consist in always more uses or functionalities, but is also made of reductions and relinquishment.

Purpose
This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of triggers of psychological distress among Jordanian patients with heart failure (HF).

Design/methodology/approach
A phenomenological study was adopted. In-depth, semi-structured, audio-taped interviews were conducted for 25 patients with HF. The analysis was done using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Findings
The main theme of the findings can be expressed as “faced with stressors that are unable to cope with”, which encompasses circumstances and contexts associated with the psychological distress they faced. The following four sub-themes emerged from the data: being endorsed in significant life changes, feeling guilty about being a burden, financial burden aggravating stress and feeling overwhelmed by the fear of death.

Originality/value
The findings revealed that psychological distress is affected directly by many triggers. The findings indicate the need for informing health-care providers to support these patients and address the challenges and develop clinical guidelines to assess psychological distress among these patients.

Published: October 2022

AbstractFlowering crops are heavily managed during bloom to both promote pollination and prevent disease. Disease management practices can alter the floral microbiome, including pathogens and nontarget microbes. However, whether agrochemical presence or altered microbiome composition affect pollinator foraging and pollination services is unclear.We assessed effects of orchard management tactics and landscape context on the flower microbiome in almond,Prunus dulcis. Fourteen orchards (five conventional, four organic and five conventional with habitat augmentation) were sampled at early and peak bloom to characterize bacterial and fungal communities associated with floral tissues. The surveys were complemented by an artificial flower experiment to assess effects of fungicides and microbes on honey bee foraging. Finally, a field trial was conducted to test effects of fungicides and microbes on pollination.As bloom progressed, bacterial and fungal abundance and diversity increased across all floral tissue types and management strategies. The magnitude by which microbial abundance and diversity were affected varied, with proximity to apiaries and orchard management having notable effects on bacteria and fungi respectively.Experiments revealed that fungicides reduced nectar removal by honey bees; however, neither fungicide nor microbe treatments affected pollination, as measured through pollen tube initiation and growth.Synthesis and applications. Our results reveal that microbiota associated with flowers of a pollinator‐dependent crop are temporally dynamic and sensitive to management practices. However, pollination services in almond may be resilient to both agrochemical disturbance and microbial augmentation of flowers, the latter of which may become more prominent as microbial solutions to disease management are embraced in agroecosystems.

AbstractBioactive peptides (BPs) are protein fragments that benefit human health. To assess whether leftover green tea residues (GTRs) can serve as a resource for new BPs, we performed in silico proteolysis of GTRs using the BIOPEP database, revealing a wide range of BPs embedded in GTRs. Comparative genomics and the percentage of conserved protein analyses enabled us to select a few probiotic strains for GTR hydrolysis. The selected probiotics digested GTRs anaerobically to yield GTR‐derived peptide fractions. To examine whether green tea (GT) peptide fractions could be potential mediators of host–microbe interactions, we comprehensively screened agonistic and antagonistic activities of 168 human G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). NanoLC‐MS/MS analysis and thin‐layer chromatography allowed the identification of peptide sequences and the composition of glycan moieties in the GTRs. Remarkably, GT peptide fractions produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum APsulloc 331261, a strain isolated from GT, showed a potent‐binding activity for P2RY6, a GPCR involved in intestinal homeostasis. Therefore, this study suggests the potential use of probiotics‐aided GTR hydrolysates as postbiotic BPs, providing a biological process for recycling GTRs from agro‐waste into renewable resources as health‐promoting BPs.
Does Financial Statement Comparability Facilitate SEC Oversight?*
Authors: Nam Jonathan Sangwook , Thompson Rachel A. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis study examines the impact of cross‐firm financial statement comparability on regulatory oversight of accounting quality. Required to review each firm's periodic filings at least once every three years, the SEC learns about the degree to which a firm's accounting system is comparable to those of its peers. We posit that the SEC's ex ante knowledge about financial statement comparability, gleaned from prior‐year filing reviews, facilitates its evaluation of firms' accounting quality during the current‐year filing review. Consistent with the notion that comparable accounting systems enhance regulators' ability to identify discretionary accounting deviations, we find that the likelihood of the SEC issuing a comment letter for higher abnormal accruals increases with financial statement comparability. Further analysis reveals that the regulatory benefits from higher financial statement comparability are more salient when the SEC faces higher monitoring constraints in filing reviews. Moreover, our finding shows that comparable accounting numbers across firms help the SEC detect severe accounting violations that necessitate restatements. Overall, we provide novel evidence suggesting that higher financial statement comparability improves the efficacy of the SEC's oversight of accounting quality by reducing the information costs associated with cross‐firm comparisons.

AbstractCotton blue disease (CBD) and atypical‐CBD are the most important viral diseases of cotton plants in the southern region of South America. Common and atypical strains of cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV and CLRDV‐at, respectively) are thought to be causative agents of CBD and atypical‐CBD, respectively. Inoculation of test plants via aphid vectors is difficult, as is determining strains via molecular diagnosis; accordingly, it is difficult for breeders to evaluate the effects of blue disease‐associated virus infections in cotton lineages. In the present study, we attempted to circumvent these difficulties by producing six full‐length cDNA infectious clones from CLRDV and CLRDV‐at strains using the Gibson Assembly protocol. For inoculation of the infectious clones, a vacuum chamber‐mediated agroinfiltration protocol was adapted and applied. Using this protocol, 90%–100% of cotton plants became infected with the clones, which was not possible via syringe‐based agroinfiltration. A genotyping protocol based on RT‐qPCR targeting a specific region of the virus P0 protein was also developed, allowing rapid differentiation of CLRDV and CLRDV‐at. Applying this protocol to 68 field samples revealed that CLRDV‐at was dominant (50%) over CLRDV (5.8%) in single virus infections. These preliminary results imply that CLRDV‐at might occupy the ecological niche of CLRDV in the cotton fields of Brazil.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThis study examines substance use disorder (SUD) treatment utilization patterns in response to a pandemic.MethodRetrospective electronic medical record data were collected during three time periods (N = 390): “Pre‐COVID‐19” (12/02/2019–03/14/2020), “COVID‐19” (03/15/2020–06/30/2020), and COVID‐19 “Re‐entry” (7/01/2020–10/01/2020). Number of visits in each time period, SUD diagnosis, treatment modality (video, telephone, none), demographic, and clinical variables were examined. One‐way analyses of variance (ANOVA) and chi‐square analyses tested the relationships between treatment modality, demographics, clinical variables, and psychiatric emergency room (PER) visits. Binary logistic regressions examined the effect of treatment modality on PER use during COVID‐19 and Re‐entry, controlling for alcohol, opioid, and cocaine use disorders, age, and past‐year (pre‐COVID‐19) PER use.ResultsTreatment modality was associated with SUD (alcohol, cocaine, opioids), age, and PER visits. Veterans who primarily attended telephone appointments were more likely to require PER services compared to those attending video appointments. In the full model, alcohol use disorder (AUD), past‐year PER visits, and treatment modality (telephone visits) continued to be significantly associated with COVID‐19 PER use, while past‐year PER visits correlated with Re‐entry PER use.Conclusions and Scientific Significance:During COVID‐19, veterans whose main treatment modality was telephone were more likely to require PER services than veterans who were seen by video, even after controlling for age, AUD, opioid use disorder, and past‐year PER visits. This study is the first to have examined SUD treatment modality utilization patterns in response to COVID‐19. Findings suggest that treatment modality during the initial phase of COVID‐19 correlated with PER presentation.
Making wardrobe space: The sustainable potential of minimalist‐inspired fashion challenges
Authors: Martin‐Woodhead Amber 
Published: October 2022

AbstractMinimalist fashion has become a key element of the wider minimalist movement that promotes reducing one's wardrobe space to a bare minimum of essential items (or a ‘capsule wardrobe’) with few, quality items that coordinate. Minimalist‐inspired ‘fashion challenges’, in which participants are challenged to only wear a certain number of garments over a certain time period, have also gained increasing momentum, particularly in the USA and the UK. This study considers ‘Project 333’ (in which participants must only wear 33 items of clothes over a three‐month period), and the ‘Six Items Challenge’ (which requires participants to only wear six garments over 6 weeks), to explore their potential to encourage sustainable fashion (non‐)consumption. This is achieved via an analysis of 20 blog posts of individuals reflecting on their own participation in the two challenges and an auto‐ethnography of my own participation in the Six Items Challenge. The research reveals that while just over half of participants mentioned sustainability as a motivation or outcome of their participation in a fashion challenge, the challenges' focus on garment reduction, re‐use, repair, and not shopping while partaking in them, renders them sustainability driven in practice. Almost all challenges also mentioned personal benefits of conducting a fashion challenge (such as money and time saved plus greater fashion creativity), which could be seen as a helpful way in which to encourage their uptake. However, the paper also considers the idealisation of ‘perfect’ minimalist wardrobe spaces and subsequent fashioned identities and issues regarding who has the pecuniary means to embrace the quality over quantity narrative of the challenges. The paper therefore concludes that fashion challenges do have the potential to encourage more sustainable fashion practices, but they simultaneously raise tensions regarding idealised minimalist fashioned identities.
Industrial cluster policy and transaction networks: Evidence from firm‐level data in Japan

Published: October 2022

AbstractCluster policy is designed to facilitate inter‐firm networking. We examine industrial clusters in Japan based on firm‐level transaction data. Cluster firms significantly expand transaction networks not only with local firms but also with firms in the agglomerated core Tokyo. We confirm the robustness of the results with historical policy experience of the regions as an instrumental variable and the cluster participation in a later period for a placebo test. By disaggregating firms in their relationships with financial institutions, we find that cluster firms expanding networks with firms in Tokyo are financed mainly by regional banks.
Black affirming pedagogy: Reflections on the premises, challenges and possibilities of mainstreaming antiracist black pedagogy in Canadian sociology
Authors: Robinson Oral 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAntiblackness, anti‐Black racism and other oppressions work within systems such as capitalism, white supremacy and globalization. As a system, Canadian higher education institutions are complicit with the oppression of Black, Indigenous and racialized peoples. Anti‐oppressive and antiracist pedagogies attempt to challenge institutional power and oppression but face resistance within the academy and wider society. This paper articulates Black Affirming Pedagogy as an additional anticolonial, antiracist, pro‐Black teaching praxis aimed at furthering educators’ resiliencies and capacities for cultivating transformations and social change. Pro‐Black affirmations of Blackness, allyship/solidarity, humanity, diverse knowledge, and action are discussed alongside strategies for praxis. Risks of engaging in Black Affirming Pedagogy and suggestions for overcoming them are also highlighted.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBreast cancer is among the most common malignant cancers in women. B‐cell‐specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI‐1) is a transcriptional repressor that has been shown to be involved in tumorigenesis, the cell cycle, and stem cell maintenance. In our study, increased expression of BMI‐1 was found in both human triple negative breast cancer and luminal A‐type breast cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues. We also found that knockdown of BMI‐1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation and migration in vitro and in vivo. Further mechanistic research demonstrated that BMI‐1 directly bound to the promoter region of CDKN2D/BRCA1 and inhibited its transcription in MCF‐7/MDA‐MB‐231. More importantly, we discovered that knockdown of CDKN2D/BRCA1 could promote cell proliferation and migration after repression by PTC‐209. Our results reveal that BMI‐1 transcriptionally suppressed BRCA1 in TNBC cell lines whereas, in luminal A cell lines, CDKN2D was the target gene. This provides a reference for the precise treatment of different types of breast cancer in clinical practice.
A Bayesian network predicting survival of cervical cancer patients—Based on surveillance, epidemiology, and end results

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study aimed to build a comprehensive model for predicting the overall survival (OS) of cervical cancer patients who received standard treatments and to build a series of new stages based on the International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO) stages for better such predictions. We collected the cervical cancer patients diagnosed since the year 2000 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Cervical cancer patients who received radiotherapy or surgery were included. Log‐rank tests and Cox regression were used to identify potential factors of OS. Bayesian networks (BNs) were built to predict 3‐ and 5‐year survival. We also grouped the patients into new stages by clustering their 5‐year survival probabilities based on FIGO stage, age, and tumor differentiation. Cox regression suggested black ethnicity, adenocarcinoma, and single status as risks for poorer prognosis, in addition to age and stage. A total of 43,749 and 39,333 cases were finally eligible for the 3‐ and 5‐year BNs, respectively, with 11 variables included. Cluster analysis and Kaplan‐Meier curves indicated that it was best to divide the patients into nine modified stages. The BNs had excellent performance, with area under the curve and maximum accuracy of 0.855 and 0.804 for 3‐year survival, and 0.851 and 0.787 for 5‐year survival, respectively. Thus, BNs are excellent candidates for predicting cervical cancer survival. It is necessary to consider age and tumor differentiation when estimating the prognosis of cervical cancer using FIGO stages.

AbstractBackgroundThe main objectives of this study were to determine whether known risk factors for trabeculectomy failure similarly influence gelatin stent outcomes and to identify surgical factors which may optimise success.MethodsA retrospective, observational study was conducted at a single centre in Perth, Western Australia over 24 months. Two‐hundred and sixty‐two eyes of 207 patients underwent XEN‐45 stent surgery with various forms of glaucoma. Surgical and postoperative data on subjects undergoing XEN‐45 stent surgery was collated. Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction success was determined using three criteria: 1; IOP <18 mm Hg, 2: IOP <15 mm Hg and 3: >25% IOP reduction from baseline. Kaplan–Meier, mixed effects Cox Proportional hazard model and Chi‐Square test were used to measure survival of functioning stents.ResultsThe success rates at a maximum of 2 years after surgery by criteria 1, 2 and 3 were 61.3%, 26.2% and 28.9% in primary open angle glaucoma (n = 243), 18.8%, 16.9%, 21.4% in angle closure glaucoma (n = 11), 0%, 0%, 66.7% in congenital glaucoma (n = 5) and 0% in uveitic glaucoma (n = 3). No significant reduction in success was found in those eyes that had prior ocular surgery (all p > 0.07).ConclusionsPrior cataract or trabeculectomy surgery does not appear to adversely affect gelatin stent outcomes over 2 years follow up. Gelatin stent surgery appears to have less IOP reduction effect compared to trabeculectomy at 2 years.
Investigation and Simulation of Diffraction on Rough Surfaces

Published: October 2022

AbstractSimulating light–matter interaction is a fundamental problem in computer graphics. A particular challenge is the simulation of light interaction with rough surfaces due to diffraction and multiple scattering phenomena. To properly model these phenomena, wave‐optics have to be considered. Nevertheless, the most accurate BRDF models, including wave‐optics, are computationally expensive, and the resulting renderings have not been systematically compared to real‐world measurements. This work sheds more light on reflectance variations due to surface roughness. More specifically, we look at wavelength shifts that lead to reddish and blueish appearances. These wavelength shifts have been scarcely reported in the literature, and, in this paper, we provide the first thorough analysis from precise measured data. We measured the spectral in‐plane BRDF of aluminium samples with varying roughness and further acquired the surface topography with a confocal microscope. The measurements show that the rough samples have, on average, a reddish and blueish appearance in the forward and back‐scattering, respectively. Our investigations conclude that this is a diffraction‐based effect that dominates the overall appearance of the samples. Simulations using a virtual gonioreflectometer further confirm our claims. We propose a linear model that can closely fit such phenomena, where the slope of the wavelength shifts depends on the incident and reflection direction. Based on these insights, we developed a simple BRDF model based on the Cook–Torrance model that considers such wavelength shifts.
