The Ukrainian refugee crisis: Unpacking the politics of pet exceptionalism
Authors: Sandvik Kristin Bergtora 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe rescue of pets soon became part of the humanitarian narrative of the attack on Ukraine. The open‐door policy on companion animals from Ukraine—a high‐risk country for rabies—in terms of regulatory modifications and the provision of services could be described as one of ‘pet exceptionalism’. While the influx of pets and the response to it has significance for the international refugee regime, there has been scant scholarly engagement with the movement of pets across borders during emergencies. To bridge academic knowledge gaps and suggest policy lessons, the article discusses how the management of the Ukraine pet influx fits with existing regulatory regimes and policy priorities governing companion animals, and the tensions involved. Drawing on a 6‐month desk study (March–August 2022)—the article considers the events, interactions and policy choices which shape how companion animals are received. Using the UK and Norway as examples, it suggests that the aim of the resources and procedures directed at caring for pets and helping owners is pragmatic—to safeguard biosecurity and enforce regulations while also protecting animal health and psychosocial well‐being. The term ‘pet civic consciousness’ is used to consider the notion of pets as family members, and how trust in government and understandings of biosecurity and regulatory requirements are filtered through cultural and linguistic lenses. The article identifies biosecurity, juridification, resource allocation and ethical issues of fairness across refugee populations and the intrinsic value of companion animals as central topics for future discussion.

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic may impact the development of infants' social communication patterns with their caregivers. The current study examined continuity, stability, and bidirectional associations in maternal and infant dyadic Emotional Availability (EA) before and during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Participants were 110 Israeli mother‐infant dyads (51% girls) that were assessed prior to (Mage = 3.5 months) and during (Mage = 12.4 months) the pandemic. At both time points, mother‐infant interactions were observed during play (nonstressful context) and tasks designed to elicit infant frustration (stressful context). Maternal and child EA were coded offline. Maternal EA demonstrated no significant mean‐level changes from before to during the COVID‐19 pandemic, whereas infant responsiveness and involvement increased over time. Stability and bidirectional associations in EA differed by context and were evident only in the stressful context. Mothers' perceived levels of social support further moderated these associations. Specifically, infants' pre‐pandemic responsiveness and involvement predicted maternal EA during the pandemic only when mothers reported low levels of social support. Our findings suggest that maternal and child EA were not adversely impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, patterns of EA demonstrated moderate‐to‐no stability over time, suggesting considerable individual differences in trajectories of EA.
Improving Probabilistic Record Linkage Using Statistical Prediction Models

Published: December 2022

SummaryRecord linkage brings together information from records in two or more data sources that are believed to belong to the same statistical unit based on a common set of matching variables. Matching variables, however, can appear with errors and variations and the challenge is to link statistical units that are subject to error. We provide an overview of record linkage techniques and specifically investigate the classic Fellegi and Sunter probabilistic record linkage framework to assess whether the decision rule for classifying pairs into sets of matches and non‐matches can be improved by incorporating a statistical prediction model. We also study whether the enhanced linkage rule can provide better results in terms of preserving associations between variables in the linked data file that are not used in the matching procedure. A simulation study and an application based on real data are used to evaluate the methods.

Published: December 2022

AbstractWorkplace prejudice‐reduction efforts tend to be short lived at best, and can even arouse defiance, or a desire to oppose requests or rules, in employees. The motivational approach of self‐determination theory (SDT) describes how communicating about prejudice reduction can be scaffolded in ways that inspire genuine motivation and avoid eliciting defensive responses. From an SDT perspective, such autonomy‐supportive communications take the perspective of the employee, provide choice about how to best approach attitude change, provide a rationale or compelling reason for the importance of change, offer structure through explaining the consequences of bias, and avoid the use of shame to compel change. In two multi‐wave studies with British police officers and staff, we hypothesized that employees would report lower prejudice (operationalized as having less antagonistic attitudes toward police forces investing in diversity) when they perceived forces to communicate about prejudice in autonomy‐supportive ways (Studies 1 and 2). We also tested whether this association would be explained by lower defiance when perceiving the force to communicate in autonomy‐supportive ways (Study 2). Results supported the main effect of perceived autonomy‐supportive communication relating to lower prejudice in multi‐wave (Study 1, n = 1226) and longitudinal data (Study 2, n = 232). We consider implications for communicating about prejudice‐reduction efforts in the workplace.
Downsizing decisions: The joint influence of equity incentives and behavioral biases
Authors: Lopez Thomas J. , Pollard Troy , Reitenga Austin , Stinson Shane 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAlthough new investment can be viewed as a decision to pursue projects from a wide number of growth opportunities with easily discernible (and presumably preferable) risk profiles, downsizing (e.g., through layoffs, plant closings, asset divestitures, etc.) is a dichotomous choice to either abandon or continue an existing project where the relative risk between these options is not clear. Our evidence suggests that vega in the pre‐downsizing period is associated with risky investment that necessitates future downsizing. We further find that contemporaneous vega is associated with a greater likelihood of downsizing. On the other hand, our evidence suggests that delta is a significant impediment to downsizing. We examine the influence of behavioral factors in the decision‐making process and find downsizing decisions are discouraged by managerial overconfidence but encouraged by managers’ aversion to ambiguity. Finally, we investigate whether equity incentives and behavioral factors lead to better downsizing decisions. We find that downsizing firms with high ambiguity perform better after downsizing relative to their matched pair with lower ambiguity.

AbstractAimThe most popular sources of information on species distributions are the expert‐derived maps and georeferenced occurrences, mainly those compiled by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). These sources have been constantly used with biogeographical and conservation goals. However, their degree of accuracy in representing geographical biodiversity patterns remains poorly understood. Here, we compared both sources of information on species distributions to estimate global patterns of richness and species composition of threatened vertebrates on marine islands.LocationGlobal.TaxonTerrestrial vertebrates.MethodsWe gathered distributional data of all threatened terrestrial vertebrate species inhabiting 22,471 marine islands worldwide from GBIF and expert derived maps. Then, to assess strengths and biases from each source, using geographical information systems, we calculated and compared: (a) species richness per island, (b) general patterns of richness and (c) the number of shared species from both sources per island.ResultsThere were dramatic differences between the information derived from both data sources. The species richness estimated with expert‐derived maps resulted in 10 more species per island, on average, than the estimations obtained from GBIF data. The mean proportion of shared species per island (between both data sources) was very low (3.1% of the species), and the general patterns of richness were markedly different. The most significant differences occurred in tropical areas and Europe.ConclusionDifferences between the two sources emerged from intrinsic biases: expert‐derived maps tend to overestimate species' counts, whereas GBIF occurrences tend to do the opposite, except for some well‐sampled regions where both data types converge. Our findings suggest that previous global assessments performed with these information sources on species distributions, especially those focusing on protected areas, should be carefully considered.
Patientology revisited: Toward tailored care pathways
Authors: Schneider‐Kamp Anna , Nielsen Helle Lykke , Sodemann Morten 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundConcepts such as patient‐centred care, patient empowerment and patient participation have challenged our understanding of what it means to be a patient and what role patients play in care pathways. Consequently, patientology as the medical sociological and anthropological study of patients is currently being reconceptualized through perspectives of health as individualized and privatized capital.AimsThis article explores the potential of such a patientological perspective to enhance our understanding of and tailor care pathways. Particularly, we aim to investigate how such a perspective can contribute to tailoring care pathways to the capacities of individual patients and their relatives.Materials & MethodsWe elaborate on an emerging health capital‐theoretic model for patientology and study its potential for optimizing care pathways through two distinct cases of care contexts: communicative challenges in the context of integrative primary care for vulnerable chronically ill multi‐morbid patients and the potential of parent involvement in the acute hospitalization of children suspected to be affected by multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.ResultsOur results shed light on the importance of cultural and social capital of patients and their relatives in the design of effective tailored care pathways. We find that a lack of cultural and social capital presents a significant barrier to effective communication between patients and the healthcare professionals involved in their care pathways. We also find that understanding the cultural and social capital of relatives provides an entry point to their effective involvement in the care pathways of their children.Discussion & ConclusionThe implications of these findings extend beyond the concrete care contexts studied. This article contributes to our understanding of care pathways through a perspective of health inequalities being based on differences in health capital and demonstrates how the health capital‐theoretic patientology model facilitates the systematic development of guidelines for healthcare professionals to assess patients' resources and tailor their care pathways accordingly.

AbstractBackground and AimsEsophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has been identified as an aerosol‐generating procedure (AGP) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The risk of AGP and benefits of utilizing protective measures have never been fully studied.MethodsA randomized control, open‐label study in patients scheduled for diagnostic EGD between September and December 2021 was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned to either head box group or without head box group (control group). Particles were measured with six‐size particle counters at the nurse anesthetist and endoscopist position. Primary composite outcomes were the mean difference of aerosol particle levels during and before EGD at the nurse anesthetist face position and at the endoscopist face position. Secondary outcomes were factors increasing aerosol particle levels and safety of the head box.ResultsFrom 196 enrolled patients, 190 were analyzed. Baseline characteristics were not different between the two groups. The mean distance between endoscopist face and patient mouth was 67.2 ± 4.9 cm. The mean differences of 0.3‐, 0.5‐, and 1.0‐μm particles during the procedure and at baseline before the procedure at nurse anesthetist position and the mean differences of 0.3‐μm particles at the endoscopist position was found to have decreased in the head box group and increased in the control group (P < 0.001, 0.001, 0.014, and P < 0.001, respectively). Cough, burping, and body movement increased aerosol particles. No additional adverse events were observed in the head box group.ConclusionsEGD with the head box is safe and can reduce significant aerosolization to endoscopy personnel including nurse anesthetists and endoscopists.
Data‐driven models employed to waste plastic in China: Generation, classification, and environmental assessment

Published: December 2022

AbstractIt is crucial to precisely predict the generation of plastic waste and realize its fine classification in terms of policy demand and environmental benefits. Only a few studies have used the date‐driven model to forecast the amount of plastic waste. The benefits of classifying the plastic waste using deep learning have also been only scarcely reported in the literature. Therefore, this study used the Prophet model to estimate the amount of plastic waste from 2005 to 2025. Four types of Visual Geometry Group Networks based on Transfer Learning (TLVGGNet) were performed for classifying the plastic waste. Potentials of saved energy, the reduction of green‐house gases emission (GHG), and air pollutants were also discussed under different scenarios (current recycling system and TLVGGNet system). The results showed that the amount of waste plastic was anticipated to be 26.44 Mt in 2020 and 33.18 Mt in 2025 in China. The method of transfer learning could shorten the training time and improve the performance of the TLVGGNet‐11 model in the test dataset (41.6–68.1%). Moreover, TLVGGNet‐16 was considered to be the most optimum model for plastic waste classification in terms of training time (83.94 s), accuracy (75.5%), precision (76.9%), recall (75.5%), and F1 score (75.1%). The TLVGGNet‐16 system contributes about 12.15–15.97% in terms of electricity‐savings. Compared with the current recycling system, the amount of CO2 emissions saved and reduction in CH4 emissions could be more than 8–10% and 0.4–0.5%, respectively, in the TLVGGNet‐16 system. The saved VOCS and NOX emissions were within the ranges of 34.84–127.22 billion kg and 93.64–414.14 billion kg between 2017 and 2025 using the method of deep learning.

AbstractNow is the time to refocus efforts in urban research and design. A changing climate and extreme weather events are presenting unique challenges to urban systems around the world. These challenges illuminate the social barriers that accompany disruptive events such as resource inequities and injustices. In this perspective, we provide three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems that help to address these matters. The three research priorities are: (1) social equity and justice, (2) circularity, and (3) digital twins. Conceptual context and future research directions are provided for each. For social equity and justice, the future directions are mandatory equity analysis and inclusionary practices, understanding and reconciling historical injustices, and intentional integration with diverse community stakeholders. For circularity applications, they are better metrics for integration, more robust evaluation frameworks, and dynamic modeling at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Future directions for digital twins include developing principles to reduce complexity, integrating model and system components, and reducing barriers to data access. These research priorities are core to meeting several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., 1—No Poverty, 8—Decent Work and Economic Growth, 10—Reduced Inequalities, and 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities). Useful social and technical matters are discussed throughout, where we highlight the importance of prioritizing localized research efforts, provide guidance for community‐engaged research and co‐development practices, and explain how these priorities interact to align with the evolving field of industrial ecology.
Seasonal variations in gonadosomatic index and seminal quality of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri collinsi)

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundWe hypothesized that seasonal variations in testicular biometry in Saimiri collinsi are influenced by body mass and that testicular enlargement is related to improved seminal quality. Therefore, the gonadosomatic index (GSI) can be a tool to determine reproductive seasons and the predictors of seminal quality.MethodsBody mass, testicular biometry, and semen samples were obtained from eight adult males monthly and evaluated.ResultsIn the non‐fattening/non‐reproductive season, the body mass and GSI decreased and increased, respectively, in the fattening. A positive correlation was only observed between the GSI and seminal volume. During fattening, high seminal volume and normal morphology were observed, but sperm concentrations were low.ConclusionThe GSI cannot be used as a predictor of seminal quality, but selective pressure to improve seminal quality may increase the chances of fertilization at fattening. The GSI provides new information on seasonality and can be used to identify reproductive seasons in squirrel monkeys.

AbstractObjectiveLong‐term and high exposure to UV radiation can lead to the development of skin photoaging diseases. Therefore, there is an ongoing need for more natural and safe drugs to prevent or treat skin photoaging diseases.MethodsThe Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform database were used to collect the active compounds and corresponding targets of Cnidii Fructus, Arnebiae Radix, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Poria, and Borneolum. The GeneCards database and the NCBI Gene database were used to collect the targets of skin photoaging diseases. The STRING database was used to construct a protein–protein interaction network formed by the intersecting targets of drugs and diseases. The Metascape database was applied for Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis of the targets. Molecular docking between active compounds and targets was verified by Autodock. After that, the skin photoaging model of mice was established and treated with MP gel. The skin characterization on the back of mice was observed, and the ameliorative effect of MP gel on skin photoaging was evaluated by histological and epidermal thickness assays. The MDA content and SOD activity were measured. Caspase‐3 expression in mouse skin tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction assay, and Western blot.ResultsThe results of network pharmacology experiments showed that the natural drugs have multi‐component, multi‐target therapeutic disease characteristics. The results of animal studies showed that MP gel improved the health of photoaged skin, promoted skin structural integrity, had antioxidant properties and significantly inhibited caspase‐3 expression.ConclusionThe experimental validation of the results of the preliminary network pharmacology analysis was carried out in animal experiments, which confirmed part of the mechanism of action of MP gel in the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDWhen children and youth feel connected to their school, family, and others in their community, they are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and experience negative health. Disruptions to school operations during the COVID‐19 pandemic have led many teachers and school administrators to prioritize finding ways to strengthen and re‐establish a sense of connectedness among students and between students and adults in school.METHODSWe conducted a systematic search of peer‐reviewed literature that reported on US‐based research and were published in English from January 2010 through December 2019 to identify classroom management approaches that have been empirically tied to school connectedness‐related outcomes in K‐12 school settings.FINDINGSSix categories of classroom management approaches were associated with improved school connectedness among students: (1) teacher caring and support, (2) peer connection and support, (3) student autonomy and empowerment, (4) management of classroom social dynamics, (5) teacher expectations, and (6) behavior management.IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITYPrioritizing classroom management approaches that emphasize positive reinforcement of behavior, restorative discipline and communication, development of strong, trusting relationships, and explicitly emphasize fairness has potential to promote equitable disciplinary practices in schools.CONCLUSIONSClassroom management approaches most linked to school connectedness are those that foster student autonomy and empowerment, mitigate social hierarchies and power differentials among students, prioritize positive reinforcement of behavior and restorative disciplinary practices, and emphasize equity and fairness.
