Uncertainty due to pandemics and epidemics and the behavior of Travel & Leisure stocks in the UK, the USA and Europe
Authors: Salisu Afees , Tchankam Jean Paul 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the response of Travel & Leisure (T&L) stocks of some advanced economies (the USA and United Kingdom) as well as Europe to uncertainty due to pandemics and epidemics. The motivation for the study is derived from the expectation that pandemics and epidemics which are infectious would limit activities and events that require physical interactions such as those associated with T&L, and therefore, returns on related investments may decline during this period.Design/methodology/approachThe authors formulate a model in line with Westerlund and Narayan (2012, 2015) where uncertainty due to infectious diseases is included as a predictor in the valuation of T&L stocks while also controlling for endogeneity bias (for omitted variables bias), conditional heteroscedasticity effect (typical of high frequency data) and persistence (typical of most financial and economic time series).FindingsThe authors’ results suggest that contrary to the negative impact of previous cases of pandemics and epidemics on the T&L stocks, the behavior of these stocks during COVID-19 pandemic is modest owing to the positive nexus between equity market volatility due to infectious diseases (EMV-ID) (our proxy for pandemics and epidemics) and the T&L returns during the COVID-19 period. The authors maintain that investors in this market need not panic as the market tends to be resilient to pandemics over time albeit with a lower resilience during daily trading. The results leading to this conclusion are robust to alternative measures of the COVID-19 pandemic.Originality/valueThe peculiarity of this paper on T&L stocks is premised on the introduction of the new datasets for infectious diseases, and the need to include the COVID-19 pandemic given its peculiarity. Essentially, we utilize the Bakeret al.(2020) dataset which captures all the pandemics including COVID-19 and a complementary dataset on the COVID-19 pandemic using an alternative approach.
New mobility technologies as incentive to location decisions: relocation strategy in the automotive industry
Authors: Turienzo Javier , Lampón Jesús F. 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the new technologies that condition location strategy and enable the reindustrialization of European countries involved in the automotive industry. Business relocation has seen an upsurge in recent years. The development of the technologies linked to new mobility (connected, autonomous and electric vehicles) in European countries is increasing interest in relocating high value activities in origin countries to preserve high quality jobs and maintain competitive advantage.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyzes the changes in location factors and relocation trends through qualitative research based on a multiple case study methodology of first level suppliers in the automotive industry.FindingsThis study reveals the capacity technology has to reconfigure the automotive value chain and to change traditional location factors and relocation trends. The results show relevant differences between the traditional components production divisions characterized by offshoring processes, in a continuous decrease of activity and deindustrialization, and the new technologies divisions linked to new mobility with strong growth, reshoring of the high value activities, reindustrialization plans and links with research and development. For these new mobility divisions, protection of innovation to prevent the core knowledge transfer and strong collaboration with local research institutions are key in this highly technological location context.Originality/valueThe research analyzes the impact of new mobility technologies on the relocation processes in the automotive industry through an original approach based on the evolution of traditional suppliers with divisions linked to new mobility.
Leader boundary-spanning behavior and creative behavior: the role of need for status and creative self-efficacy
Authors: Kim Seckyoung Loretta , Lee Donghwan , Yun Seokhwa 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine the positive relationship between leader's boundary-spanning behavior and employee creative behavior. Moreover, the research investigates a three-way effect by exploring leader's boundary-spanning behavior, need for status and creative self-efficacy on employee creative behavior.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 260 supervisor-subordinate dyads from various companies in South Korea. The research tests the hypotheses through a hierarchical regression analysis.FindingsThe authors provided empirical evidence that leader's boundary-spanning behavior positively related to employee creative behavior. Moreover, the result demonstrated that the effect of leader's boundary-spanning behavior on creative behavior was the strongest in the context of high need for status and high creative self-efficacy.Research limitations/implicationsThe research contributes to the three streams of literature on boundary spanning, creativity, and leadership by exploring leaders' boundary-spanning behavior, employees' need for status, and employees' creative self-efficacy.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that organizations should promote leaders' boundary-spanning behavior, thereby enhancing employees' creative behavior. Also, the study highlights the critical role of individual factors, such as the need for status and creative self-efficacy, and situational factors that determine the level of creative behavior.Originality/valueIntegrating the componential model of creativity and the interactionist perspective of creativity, this research examines the positive influence of leaders' boundary-spanning behavior on creative behavior. Furthermore, the research exhibits how leader's boundary-spanning behavior, need for status and creative self-efficacy could develop creative conditions to promote employee creative behavior.
Factors that make a destination fascinating and motivate (re)visit
Authors: Pessoa Rosângela Andrade , Oliveira Oderlene , Souza Lucas Lopes Ferreira 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to identify how destination fascination is perceived by all participants involved in the tourism sector.

Design/methodology/approach
An exploratory and qualitative study was undertaken based on a literature review and three focus groups with travelers and tourism and marketing professionals.

Findings
The findings revealed that different perceptions precede a destination fascination among the three groups and that the construction of fascination is related to other variables. Through consulting the three groups, 12 variables were identified, and a framework was proposed addressing the background of destination fascination and how it relates to memorable experiences and the intention to (re)visit. Another important finding is the need for tourism professionals to collaborate with marketing professionals to meet tourists’ expectations. In addition, it was found that fascination can occur before visiting a place.

Originality/value
This paper advances the literature on four points: it presents evidence that fascination can occur even before visiting a destination; it verifies which variables are related to the multidimensional construct of destination fascination and how this relationship is observed by the three distinct groups; it identifies how the construction of destination fascination occurs; and it explains how tourism and marketing professionals can help fulfill travelers’ wishes.

Hsa_circ_0097922 promotes tamoxifen resistance and cell malignant behaviour of breast cancer cells by regulating ACTN4 expression via miR‐876‐3p
Authors: Liang Xiuju , Liu Xiao , Song Zhonghua , Zhu Jian , Zhang Jinqing 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAn increasing number of findings have verified the critical roles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human cancers, and chemotherapy resistance is a poor prognostic factor for breast cancer (BC). This study is designed to explore the function of hsa_circ_0097922 in the tamoxifen resistance of breast cancer. Hsa_circ_0097922, microRNA‐876‐3p (miR‐876‐3p), and alpha‐actinin 4 (ACTN4) level were detected by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). Cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were detected by Cell Counting Kit‐8 (CCK‐8), 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU), and flow cytometry, wound healing and Transwell assays. Protein levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), B‐cell lymphoma‐2 (Bcl‐2), cleaved caspase 3, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), and ACTN4 were determined using western blot assay. Using bioinformatics software, the binding between miR‐876‐3p and hsa_circ_0097922 or ACTN4 was predicted, followed by confirmation by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull‐down assays. A xenograft tumour model in vivo analysed the biological role of hsa_circ_0097922 on BC tumour growth and drug resistance. Hsa_circ_0097922 and ACTN4 were increased, and miR‐876‐3p was decreased in tamoxifen resistance BC cells. Moreover, hsa_circ_0097922 knockdown can block BC cell malignant behaviour and tamoxifen resistance in vitro. Mechanically, hsa_circ_0097922 acted as a sponge of miR‐876‐3p to regulate ACTN4 expression. Hsa_circ_0097922 silencing increased the drug sensitivity of BC in vivo. Hsa_circ_0097922 might regulate BC cell malignant behaviour and tamoxifen resistance partly by regulating the miR‐876‐3p/ACTN4 axis, hinting at a promising therapeutic target for the BC treatment.
State of the Field: Disability History
Authors: BLACKIE DANIEL , MONCRIEFF ALEXIA 
Published: July 2022

AbstractHistorical studies of bodily and cognitive difference have flourished in the past decade. This article surveys recent work in disability history to provide a sense of the state of the field today. Concentrating on work published in English, the article outlines three main pillars of the field: its political impetus; its commitment to a sociocultural approach to disability, and its insistence that disability constitutes a powerful category of historical analysis. Following this, the article discusses the sources and methods used by disability historians, as well as some of the ethical issues their work raises. Major themes and areas of strength in the field are also identified. The article concludes by suggesting how disability history might develop in the future and encourages disability historians to push beyond a Cartesian separation of body and mind when considering human difference.
Marital betrayal, culture and prejudice
Authors: Galiás Iraci 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn our consulting rooms we find, depending on the period, certain conditions that relate closely to current cultural prejudices. In our culture, divorce and the reconstituted family can bring both creativity but also emotional difficulty, often triggered by marital betrayal. This paper explores marital betrayal in relation to childhood experiences of fidelity, infidelity and the lack of love. It asks whether there is a cultural prejudice related to marital fidelity, and whether sexuality only belongs in a loving couple, whether this is a patriarchal contract, and what role the anima plays in a loving bond; this is related to ‘altericide’ and need for respect for the other, as the libido seeks ‘living symbols’.
The symbolic and non‐symbolic aspect of image: clinical and cultural reflections
Authors: Kawai Toshio 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIt is fundamental for analytical psychology to understand images symbolically. However, Jung was aware of the non‐symbolic and direct appearance of image in synchronistic visions and dreams. Therefore, there are two aspects of the non‐symbolic: literal and synchronistic. Firstly, the pathology of the non‐symbolic was explored in psychosomatic syndromes, trauma, borderline syndromes and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Then the historical and cultural considerations show that dreams were shared and understood directly and non‐symbolically in Japanese medieval times. Historically, the symbolic aspect emerged through the loss of this directness and is characteristic for the modern, western, and adult consciousness. However, the increasing prevalence of ASD and ambiguity between reality and virtual reality show that the contemporary world is again dominated by directness and the non‐symbolic, which can be called ‘postmodern consciousness’.
How to maintain mental health in today's world?
Authors: Mandacarú Guerra Maria Helena R. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractConsumerism favours the culture of the disposable, excessive extroversion, and superficiality. Data manipulation, the shadow of information technology, harms individual and collective lives. In a world filled with prejudice, intolerance, violence and social inequality, nature is neglected putting our survival at risk. The lack of appreciation for subjectivity and self‐knowledge and the demand for greater performance foster physical and emotional problems expressed through anxiety, depression, anguish and burnout.It is thus urgent to develop a pattern of consciousness that allows us to overcome polarization and cope with the opposites by the means of dialogue and an appreciation of the dialectical and symmetrical relationship between the polarities. Carlos Byington, in his symbolic psychology, named this the archetypal pattern of alterity, and considered it the basis of solidarity, respect for difference, democracy and sustainability.
Borderline states: a topography of contemporary psyche
Authors: Ancona de Faria Alvaro 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis paper presents a discussion of issues concerning the concept of borderline personality disorder. We start from the constitution of the borderline structure, and move towards understanding particular aspects of borderline development, both on an individual and a collective level. This discussion is based on the examination of a progression in three different concentric circles: first, the context of child‐parent relationships; second, interpersonal relationships established in the school environment; and, finally, an amplification of some aspects of contemporary culture that could be related to the current importance of this condition.
Archetype and epigenetics – approximations: contributions of epigenetics to the clinical practice of analytical psychology
Authors: Caetano Aurea Afonso M. , Machado Teresa Cristina 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn this paper we address the question of epigenetics by evidencing some mechanisms related to gene expression, which, we understand, can in a way be used as metaphors for movements occurring during the psychotherapeutic process.The possibility of a dialogue between epigenetics and analytical psychology begins with the hereditary and archetypal question and takes shape in the dimension of the analytical encounter. Through the Jungian attitude model, we propose a way of moving between the two sciences.This paper provides a brief review of the concept of archetype, covering recent publications. It then describes the main mechanisms of epigenetics and, finally, addresses the analytical process and presents the authors’ proposal to consider the archetypal expression in the light of epigenetics.
Interculturality: a place to experience multiplicity
Authors: Butler David , Steinwascher Stella Maximo 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe mobility of people around the world is nothing new and brings with it different impacts on interpersonal relationships. In this paper we will reflect on this subject starting from certain questions: what dialogues can be had from those who bring new ideas from their travels with the keepers of traditions in their communities? Is it possible to entertain the image of a pluralistic and globalized world? We begin by tracing the movement of peoples through the centuries, the two major ways in life which developed: nomadism and sedentarism – and how the differences generated conflicts and discrimination. Finally, we reflect on the attributes of the god Hermes from which there is the possibility of creating space to live out our intercultural encounters with reciprocity and generosity within the hospitality ritual of ‘giving and receiving’.

AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the association between mode of delivery and subsequent maternal sexual wellbeing.DesignProspective birth cohort study.SettingAvon (in Bristol area), UK.PopulationParticipants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).MethodsMode of delivery was abstracted from obstetric records and sexual wellbeing measures were collected via a self‐report questionnaire. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation, and ordinal logistic regression models for ordered categorical outcomes were adjusted for the covariates maternal age at delivery, pre‐pregnancy body mass index, diabetes during pregnancy, socio‐economic position, parity, depression and anxiety.Main outcome measuresSexual enjoyment and frequency at four time points postpartum (between 33 months and 18 years) and two types of sex‐related pain (pain in the vagina during sex and elsewhere after sex) at 11 years postpartum.ResultsWe found no association between mode of delivery and sexual enjoyment (e.g. adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.11, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.97–1.27 at 33 months) or sexual frequency (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.88–1.12 at 33 months). Caesarean section was associated with an increased odds of pain in the vagina during sex at 11 years postpartum as compared with vaginal delivery in the adjusted model (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.46–2.08).ConclusionsThese findings provide no evidence supporting associations between caesarean section and sexual enjoyment or frequency. However, mode of delivery was shown to be associated with dyspareunia, which may not be limited to abdominal scarring.
Location distribution of randomly acquired characteristics on a shoe sole

Published: July 2022

AbstractFootwear comparison is used to link between a suspect's shoe and a shoeprint found at a crime scene. Forensic examiners compare the two items, and the conclusion reached is based on class characteristics and randomly acquired characteristics (RACs), such as scratches or holes. An important question concerns the distribution of the location of RACs on shoe soles, which can serve as a benchmark for comparison. This study examines the probability of observing RACs in different areas of a shoe sole using a database of approximately 13,000 RACs observed on 386 outsoles. The analysis is somewhat complicated as the shoes are differentiated by shape and contact surface, and the RACs' locations are subject to measurement errors. A method that takes into account these challenges is presented. All impressions are normalized to a standardized axis to allow for inter‐comparison of RACs on outsoles of different sizes and contact areas, and RACs are localized to one of 14 subareas of the shoe sole. Expected frequencies in each region are assumed to be Poisson distributed with rate parameters that depend on the subarea and the contact surface. Three different estimation approaches are studied: a naive crude approach, a shoe‐specific random effects model, and an estimate that is based on conditional maximum likelihood. It is shown that the rate is not uniform across the shoe sole and that RACs are approximately twice as likely to appear at certain locations, corresponding to the foot's morphology. The results can guide investigators in determining a shoeprint's evidential value.
Work, development, and refusal in urban Ethiopia
Authors: DI NUNZIO MARCO 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTMarxist autonomists and postwork theorists argue that work ought to be refused. Refusing work, they say, is the first step toward breaking the moral nexus between work, entitlement, and citizenship that constrains people from imagining progressive political projects. In this theorization, the refusal of work is a strategy for revolution. But ethnographic research shows us that acts of refusal can also take place outside the conjunctures of revolutionary change. They can be ordinary, individual, and often invisible. In urban Ethiopia, acts of refusal occurred during an economic boom, when work seemed as if it might have delivered on its promise of collective and individual empowerment. In these circumstances, refusal was less about the possibilities of a revolution and more about the terms of poor people's adverse incorporation through work. Acts of refusal consisted of workers’ individual and ordinary attempts to recapture some ownership over their lives in a moment when work both integrated and marginalized workers.
