Damned if you do, damned if you don't: How formerly incarcerated men navigate the labor market with prison credentials*
Authors: Lindsay Sadé L. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAlthough employment is central to successful reentry, formerly incarcerated people struggle to find work because of criminal stigma, poor education, and sparse work histories. Prison credentials are proposed as one solution to alleviate these challenges by signaling criminal desistance and employability. Evidence regarding their efficacy, however, is inconsistent. In this article, I develop a novel explanation—the prison credential dilemma—highlighting the numerous and contradictory ways employers may interpret prison credentials as positive and negative signals. Drawing on 50 qualitative interviews with formerly incarcerated men in Franklin County, Ohio, I examine how the prison credential dilemma and the uncertainty it produces shape their job search strategies and pathways to employment. I find that participants concealed or obscured institutional affiliations of prison credentials on job applications to signal employability rather than their criminal records. In job interviews, however, prison credentials were used to divert conversations away from their criminal record toward skills and criminal desistance via the use of redemptive narratives. Participants also attempted to acquire credentials outside of prison and/or pursued temporary, precarious jobs, aspiring for such physically strenuous and poorly paid work to materialize into stable employment. This study has implications for prison programming as well as policies and practices aiming to improve reentry outcomes.
Enhancing learning in small businesses

AbstractThis study addresses knowledge gaps relating to how small business owner/managers facilitate employee learning and how distinctive characteristics of small businesses affect employee learning. Data were collected through interviews with owner/managers and employees and observation of conditions in the physical, social, and organisational environments that might help or hinder informal learning. The findings provide a situated, context‐sensitive, and triangulated account relating to two research questions. We find that owner/manager physical and social proximity to employees is a key facilitating factor. Proximity creates the potential for owner/managers to facilitate learning through modelling, provision of immediate feedback and guidance. The owner/manager's positive influence on learning stemming from their physical and social proximity to employees is accentuated by owner/managers employing management styles facilitative of learning. Our findings suggest that a “family‐like” culture and the social cohesion in the businesses had enabling effects on employee participants' informal learning, while their lack of opportunities for formal learning would have inhibiting effects.
Genesis of the Taishanmiao Au Deposit in the Ningshan–Zhenan Ore Field, South Qinling Orogen, China: Evidence from Geochemical, Geochronological and S‐Pb‐H‐O Isotopical Study

AbstractThe Taishanmiao Au deposit is in the western part of the Ningshan–Zhenan ore field, in the South Qinling orogen. Based on geological and geochemical features, we propose that the Taishanmiao Au deposit is a magmatic‐hydrothermal type of deposit. All samples have high SiO2, K2O + Na2O contents and differentiation index values, low CaO, MgO, P2O5, and TiO2contents, are enriched in high field‐strength elements, and depleted in large ion lithophile element. The stable isotopeδ34S values of pyrite vary from 6.8%–7.8%, and the H‐O isotopic compositions of quartz from quartz‐pyrite veins indicate the ore‐forming fluid is a mixture of a small amount of magmatic‐hydrothermal solution and groundwater. Lead isotope ratios of pyrite and silicalite can show that the ore‐forming materials were derived from a mixed source containing mantle and crustal materials. At the same time, the LA‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb dating of monzogranite is 198.4 ± 4.2 Ma. Combined with the regional geological background, the intracontinental extension in the late collisional orogeny and large‐scale lithospheric thinning associated with mantle uplift may lead to large‐scale mineralisation in the region.

AbstractThe compressibility of shale matrix reflects the effects of reservoir lithology, material composition, pore structure and tectonic deformation. It is important to understand the factors that influence shale matrix compressibility (SMC) and their effects on pore size distribution (PSD) heterogeneity in order to evaluate the properties of unconventional reservoirs. In this study, the volumes of pores whose diameters were in the range 6–100 nm were corrected for SMC for 17 shale samples from basins in China using high‐pressure mercury intrusion and low‐temperature nitrogen gas adsorption analyses, in order to investigate the factors influencing the SMC values. In addition, the variations in fractal dimensions before and after pore volume correction were determined, using single and multifractal models to explain the effects of SMC on PSD heterogeneity. In this process, the applicability of each fractal model for characterizing PSD heterogeneity was determined using statistical analyses. The Menger and Sierpinski single fractal models, the thermodynamic fractal model and a multi‐fractal model were all used in this study. The results showed the following. The matrix compression restricts the segmentation of the fractal dimension curves for the single fractal Menger and Sierpinski models, which leads to a uniformity of PSD heterogeneity for different pore diameters. However, matrix compression has only a weak influence on the results calculated using a thermodynamic model. The SMC clearly affects the multifractal value variations, showing that the fractal dimension values of shale samples under matrix compression are small. Overall PSD heterogeneity becomes small for pores with diameters below 100 nm and the SMC primarily affects the PSD heterogeneity of higher pore volume areas. The comparison of fractal curves before and after correction and the variance analysis indicate that the thermodynamic model is applicable to quantitatively characterize PSD heterogeneity of shale collected from this sampling area. The results show that PSD heterogeneity increases gradually as micro‐pore volumes increase.
Thalassinoides Ichnofabrics of Lower Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation (Stage 4, Toyonian) on the Yangtze Platform, South China: Improving Paleoenvironmental Interpretations

AbstractAn analysis of Thalassinoides ichnofabrics in the Cambrian Stage 4 Longwangmiao Formation from six sections near Chonqing in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Block of South China was conducted to promote the understanding of the paleoenvironment of this period. Thalassinoides ichnofabrics are divided into three types according to their morphology, bioturbation index, abundance and related parameters: banded, mottled and grid. The completeness of the ichnofabrics gradually increases from banded to grid, the scale of the burrows expands, and the structure transitions from two‐dimensional to three‐dimensional. Malacostracans, phyllocarids and enteropneusts are the most likely burrowers. The findings reveal that frequent changes in paleoenvironmental conditions are the dominant factors for generating the various Thalassinoides ichnofabrics. The changes in depositional rate, substrate properties and nutrient levels affect the behavior and building patterns of the burrowers, thus leading to the diversity of Thalassinoides ichnofabrics. In the lower Longwangmiao Formation beds, many incomplete Thalassinoides burrow systems were built in the substrates with terrigenous detrital minerals, revealing significant environmental pressure on the burrowers. Later, the Thalassinoides burrows went into complete three‐dimensional boxworks. At the end of the stage, bioturbation almost disappeared, which indicates that burrowers were finding it difficult to survive in the harsh environment.

AbstractBackgroundSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. Recently, a method to classify SCLC by the expression status of four transcription factors, ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1, was proposed. Here, we investigated the potential relationships between expression of these four transcription factors and the effect of lurbinectedin.MethodsmRNA and protein expression of ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 were quantified in eight SCLC cell lines and analyzed for potential correlations with drug sensitivity. In addition, ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 expression were evaluated in 105 resected cases of high‐grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung, including 59 resected cases of SCLC.ResultsBased on the results of qRT‐PCR and western blot analyses, the eight SCLC cell lines examined were classified into NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 subtypes, as well as five ASCL1 subtypes. There were no correlations between cell line subtype classification and drug sensitivity to cisplatin, etoposide, or lurbinectedin. Next, we compared relative mRNA expression levels of each transcription factor with drug sensitivity and found that the higher the mRNA expression level of POU2F3, the lower the IC50 of lurbinectedin. Evaluation of resected SCLC tissue revealed that the composition of subtypes defined by the relative dominance of ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 was as follows: 61% ASCL1, 15% NEUROD1, 14% POU2F3, 5% YAP1, and 5% all‐negative.ConclusionIn our experiments, high mRNA expression of POU2F3 in SCLC cell lines correlated with the effect of lurbinectedin.
Geographic Peer Effects in Management Earnings Forecasts*

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTBecause of clear economic links among industry peers, prior work has focused on documenting industry peer effects in various settings. Yet, while links also exist among firms in the same geographic area, few studies document geographic peer effects. We fill this gap by examining whether there are geographic peer effects in management earnings forecasts. We find that the likelihood that a firm voluntarily provides an earnings forecast is sensitive to the extent to which other firms in the same geographic area provide earnings forecasts. This geographic peer effect in forecasting is stronger for firms with greater exposure to local institutional investors, and when firms do forecast, liquidity improves more when a larger fraction of their geographic peers forecast. Furthermore, we use instrumental variable techniques to help alleviate the concern that these geographic peer effects are driven by omitted local economic factors that can lead firms to make similar disclosure decisions. Overall, our findings suggest that geographic peer effects in disclosure choices arise in part due to firms responding to capital market incentives created by local investors. Our study, therefore, contributes to the literature by documenting a unique dimension of forecasting decisions.
Business Partnering in Risk Management: A Resilience Perspective on Management Accountants' Responses to a Role Change*
Authors: Tillema Sandra , Trapp Rouven , van Veen‐Dirks Paula 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTThis study uses a resilience perspective to examine the opportunities and challenges that management accountants may experience when they are given a role as a business partner in risk management. Drawing on insights from an in‐depth case study in a large European bank, our study sheds light on management accountants' responses to a change from a compliance‐oriented role to a business partner role. In the bank studied, part of the management accountants' new role was to balance various performance objectives and thereby to incorporate risk considerations in managerial decision‐making. Our findings suggest that this role challenged the management accountants due to the ambiguity inherent in the role and also due to unfavorable conditions that surrounded the role change. We find that these circumstances culminated in a move backward, with the management accountants falling back on practices that were consistent with the values and beliefs they had developed in their previous role. In doing so, they emphasized what the resilience literature labels “well‐learned responses.” These responses contributed to an emphasis on a narrow risk management approach and had implications for the management accountants' long‐term position within the organization. We discuss these findings against the background of previous research that suggests that management accountants move forward to the business partner role by engaging in job crafting (i.e., adapting their work) or identity work (i.e., redefining their role identity). By utilizing the concepts of lingering identities and identity asymmetries to explain the management accountants' move backward, we also shed light on new facets related to role identity.
Metabolic response to increasing environmental temperature in the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei

AbstractPlasticity and variability of morphological and physiological traits are common characteristics that allow invasive species to survive, establish and spread to new environments. In order to study the metabolic response of the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker) (Mytilidae), which has spread through South America and Asia, oxygen consumption was measured under three different acclimation temperatures (18, 22 and 27°C). After an acclimation period of at least 7 days, oxygen consumption was measured and analysed as functions of length and mass. Biochemical composition was also investigated on specimens collected under natural conditions. Environmental scanning electron microscopy determined that the elemental composition and crystalline structure of the shells were normal as described for L. fortunei previously. Average oxygen consumption per mussel was 1.63 ± 0.12 μmol O2 h−1 for an average ash‐free dry weight (AFDW) of 58.7 ± 3.0 mg. The average standard metabolic rate (SMR) per mussel was 14.94 ± 1.30, 30.04 ± 3.38, and 47.10 ± 3.54 μmol O2 gAFDW−1 h−1, at 18, 22 and 27°C, respectively. Significant higher SMR values were recorded at 27°C than at lower temperatures. This metabolic response allows L. fortunei to survive, reproduce and spread across a wide range of habitats, including tropical and subtropical environments in South America.

Published: March 2022

AbstractGlobally, high‐amplitude variation in weather (e.g. precipitation) is increasing in frequency and magnitude. This appears to be so for the southernMurray‐DarlingBasin, Australia, where droughts of unprecedented (in the instrumental record, extending back to the mid‐1800s) depth and duration (1997–first half of 2010; second half of 2012–) are being punctuated by extreme wet periods, albeit of shorter duration (‘Big Wet’, second half of 2010–first half of 2012). We have previously reported on the responses of floodplain‐forest birds to the cessation of the longest recorded drought (‘Big Dry’, 1997–first half of 2010), but we found little evidence of a rebound, at least shortly after the Big Wet. However, we reasoned that there may have been insufficient time for the birds to have responded in that short time, so we repeated the survey program 5 years after the end of the Big Wet (2017). Bird occurrences, reproductive activity and success were substantially greater compared with late in the Big Dry (2009) than they had been soon after the Big Wet (2013). However, bird occurrences still fell well below measurements in theearly‐BigDry (1998), so that the avifauna appears to be in decline, most probably because the length of drought periods far exceeds that of wet periods giving the birds too little time to recover fully.
Productive Workfare? Evidence from Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program
Authors: Gazeaud Jules , Stephane Victor 
Published: March 2022

AbstractPublic works programs have long been a popular policy tool to reduce poverty and build productive infrastructure. Although an extensive literature has documented the effect of these programs on poverty, there is virtually no evidence on the productive effect of the infrastructure. This paper attempts to start filling this gap in the context of the Productive Safety Net Program—a large‐scale public works program implemented in Ethiopia since 2005. Under the program, millions of beneficiaries received social transfers conditional on their participation in activities such as land improvements and soil and water conservation measures. We examine the value of these activities using a satellite‐based indicator of agricultural productivity and (reweighted) difference‐in‐differences estimates. Results show that the program is associated with limited changes in agricultural productivity. The upper bound of the main estimate is equivalent to a 2.2% increase in agricultural yield. This contrasts with existing narratives and calls for more research on the productive effects of public works.

AbstractIntroductionThe rise in the number of cesarean sections (CS) is a major health public problem which concerns nearly all countries. It is suggested that the Ten Group Classification System be adapted to a procedure of audit/feedback cycles, which could have an effect on CS practice. Therefore, we aimed to study changes in CS rates between maternity wards in a perinatal network after implementation of the Ten Group Classification System in an audit with feedback.Material and methodsThis was a retrospective pre–post study of all births from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2018, in a French perinatal network of 10 maternity wards in the Yvelines district of France. All live births occurring at a gestational age ≥24 weeks in the network were included. During the pre‐period (1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014), the audit and feedback provided only overall CS rates. During the post‐period (1 January 2015 to 31 December 2018), CS rates for each Robson Ten Group Classification System group were provided. Regression models, adjusted for maternal characteristics and maternity ward, were used to compare CS rates globally and for each group of the system. Variability of CS rates between maternity wards was analyzed using the coefficients of variation.ResultsThere were 51 082 women who delivered during the pre‐period and 63 964 during the post‐period. The overall CS rate did not decrease (24.5% during the pre‐period vs 25.1% during the post‐period). There were no significant differences in CS rates for any group of the Ten Group Classification System after adjustment for maternity, maternal age and sociodemographic characteristics, nor did audit implementation decrease CS rate variability between maternity wards or within groups of the system.ConclusionsImplementation of an audit‐and‐feedback cycle using the Ten Group Classification System did not decrease either CS rates or variability between maternity wards.

ABSTRACTPurposeTo present real‐world adalimumab (ADA) efficacy and safety outcomes in non‐infectious uveitis (NIU) from a single United Kingdom (UK) tertiary centre.MethodsRetrospective review of adult patients with NIU treated with ADA. Data were collected at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The primary goal was to evaluate the rate of treatment failure, using the VISUAL‐I/II studies criteria, during 12 months of follow‐up. Secondary aims were to quantify corticosteroid‐sparing effect; to identify safety issues; to assess change in visual acuity; to identify reasons for treatment failure and to compare treatment outcomes at 6 and 12 months for patients classified as active or inactive at baseline.ResultsFifty‐one patients (102 eyes) with mean age of 48.3 years were included. One third had a known underlying systemic disease and 47.6% had panuveitis. The most common indication for ADA was failure to respond to oral immunosuppression. Treatment failure occurred in 9/51 patients (10 eyes) after 6 months and 13/51 (20 eyes) patients after 12 months. The need for rescue treatment in the 12 months prior to ADA was significantly associated with treatment failure at 12 months. The mean prednisolone dosage was <10 mg/day at 6 and 12 months. There were no serious adverse events.ConclusionPatients with NIU who received ADA therapy for 12 months were likely to achieve disease control, to stabilize or improve visual acuity, to experience a reduction in immunosuppression and to reduce corticosteroid dosage. No new safety events were observed.

AbstractPurposeThe incidence of diabetes continues to increase across the world. As the number of patients rises, so does the need for educated health care professionals. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains one of the primary complications in diabetes, and screening has proved to be a cost‐effective measure to avoid DR‐related blindness. Denmark has an established screening programme, but no formal training of the people responsible for analysing retinal images.MethodsWe here present an online learning platform that offers a diabetic eye screening course for health care professionals undertaking screening responsibility in the Region of Southern Denmark. The course is divided into lectures, each focussed on identifying different levels of DR or detecting related lesions. The course is free to use on‐demand, contains instructional videos, interactive tests and exercises, and it is concluded with a certification test. The tools on the platform can in addition be used to generate data for research purposes, such as comparing users or experts in detection of lesions or annotating data for the development of machine learning models.ResultsMore than 150 participants have so far completed the course, and the platform is being adopted for education in other regions of Denmark.
