State control and stock price crash risk: new evidence of the conservatism of state-owned enterprises
Authors: Xie Feng , Anderson Hamish D. , Chi Jing , Liao Jing 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis paper examines the impact of state control on stock price crash risk given whether and how ownership structure affects stock price crash risk is relatively underexplored.Design/methodology/approachThe sample includes 2,285 Chinese firms listed in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. Panel data is used for conducting the analysis and endogeneity is addressed with instrumental variable estimation and by testing how stock price crash risk is affected when the ultimate controller changes from a private-owned company to a state-owned enterprise.FindingsThe authors find that state control is negatively associated with future stock price crash risk. The mechanism analysis shows that state control reduces stock price crash risk through the implementation of conservative corporate policies. Furthermore, the impact of state control is more pronounced with more intensive state involvement, e.g. in strategic industries and when a company's ultimate controller is a non-corporate government agency or the central government.Originality/valueThis paper enriches the literature on the controversy of the role of state control and the results of this study highlight the importance of the conservatism of state control on reducing stock return tail risk. The authors also add to the literature on the importance of the policy-risk sharing effect of state ownership.
Health-care undergraduate student’s attitudes towards mental illness following anti-stigma education: a critical review of the literature
Authors: Pursehouse Lucy 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
There has been growing awareness underpinned with legislative recognition of the need to reduce the stigma attached to mental health. Education is seen as an integral factor for this endeavour. The purpose of this paper is to review existing literature to determine both positive and negative attitudinal changes of health-care-related undergraduate students towards mental illness after a training intervention within higher education.

Design/methodology/approach
A search of papers written in the English Language was conducted between 2004 and 2021, using CINAHL, Eric, Educational Research Complete, Medline, psychINFO and SocIndex. Search terms used were undergraduate, attitudes or perceptions, mental illness/mental ill health, education, stigma and students.

Findings
In total, 24 studies were critically reviewed, which included experimental, descriptive and exploratory designs. The appraisal of papers used recognised evaluation tools to review the methodological quality. Findings suggest that overall, anti-stigma education has a significant positive effect for student attitudinal change.

Research limitations/implications
Mental health anti-stigma education is beneficial for changing attitudes, however, more bio-medically framed training is less powerful for initiating change. Learning from those with the lived experience appears to have a more sustainable impact as indicated in some of the studies. There is a need for more exploratory research to gain further knowledge on the critical educational mechanisms that may foster more long-term reframing of positive attitudes towards mental health.

Practical implications
Training providers need to consider the compelling evidence base surrounding anti-stigma pedagogy that supports the use of individuals with experience of mental ill health within the educational processes.

Social implications
Mental health stigma has potential for profound negative impact on individuals and at a wider societal level. Education is central to enable learners to consider their attitudes to mental illness to reduce stigmatising attitudes. Students on health-care-related courses are influential in becoming catalysts for change.

Originality/value
This paper has critically reviewed the literature examining the attitudes of health-care-related undergraduate students following anti-stigma education, offering insights into some of positive and negative attitudinal changes and opinions of the event. In particular contributing to an understanding on the important components for eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health.

Published: September 2022

PurposeThe COVID-19 lockdown has forced many organizations and employees to work from home. In such uncertain and unprecedented context, it is crucial for organizations to stimulate their employees’ creativity to adapt to new working environment and thus to sustain and improve organizational performance. This paper aims to examine how to stimulate employees’ creativity by focusing on their online knowledge sharing (OKS) behaviors, their use of online platforms and their organizations’ innovation climate in a working from home (WFH) context because of the lockdown. For empirical analysis, this research uses data from Vietnam – a developing country in the Southeast Asia.Design/methodology/approachData are collected from employees working in Ho Chi Minh City but WFH during the COVID-19 lockdown. Structural equation models are used for analyzing the data.FindingsOnline platform use and organizational innovation climate are positively associated with creativity directly and indirectly via the mediating roles of internal and external OKS.Research limitations/implicationsThis research provides policymakers, organizational leaders and managers with an important evidence on how to stimulate creativity by emphasizing the roles of knowledge sharing, online platforms and innovation climate. Accordingly, relevant practical implications are also drawn to sustain or improve organizational performance in the context of WFH context because of COVID-19 lockdown. This research also contributes to knowledge management literature by providing an evidence on the relationships between online platform use, organizational innovation climate, OKS and creativity.Originality/valueThis research is among the early attempts that explore the associations between employees’ use of online platforms, their organizations’ innovation climate, their internal and external OKS behaviors and their creativity in the context of WFH because of a lockdown.

De novo kin: sharing data, shielding persons, and forging relatedness in precision medicine
Authors: Navne Laura E. , Svendsen Mette N. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractComparing, sharing, and shielding children's biological and biographical data in genetic databases and on Facebook are central moves when geneticists and families search for diagnoses for children with rare diseases. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Denmark, we show that the work of linking children carrying the same genetic mutations forges new sibling‐like forms of relatedness between them. With the concept of ‘datasociality’, we add new layers to ‘biosociality’ by capturing the ways in which biological information is increasingly mediated by digital and algorithmic processes in the genomic era. In the process of both sharing data and securing anonymity, unrelated children become related through qualities of otherness.

Published: September 2022

AbstractPost‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is now performed routinely in some medical examiner's offices, and the images are typically interpreted by forensic pathologists. In this study, the question of whether pathologists appropriately identify significant PMCT findings and incorporate them into the death investigation report and the cause and manner of death (COD and MOD) statements was addressed. We retrospectively reviewed 200 cases where PMCT was performed. The cases were divided into four categories: (1) full autopsy without radiology consultation (n = 77), (2) external exam without radiology consultation (n = 79), (3) full autopsy with radiology consultation (n = 26), (4) external exam with radiology consultation (n = 18). A radiologist (not the consult radiologist) read the PMCT images, and a pathologist (not the case pathologist) reviewed the case pathologist's post‐mortem examination report in tandem to determine any PMCT findings omitted from the report. Omitted findings were classified into error types according to a modified Goldman classification including Major 1: Unrecognized fatal injury or pathology that would change COD and/or MOD, and Major 2: Unrecognized fatal injury or pathology that would not change COD and/or MOD. A total of 13 Major errors were identified (6.5%), and none definitively changed the MOD. All four Major‐1 errors which could change the COD were found in Category 2. Of 9 Major‐2 errors, 2 occurred in Category 1, 6 occurred in Category 2, and 1 occurred in Category 4. In conclusion, forensic pathologists who routinely utilize computed tomography (CT) interpret CT images well enough to reliably certify the COD and MOD.
Using social network analysis to examine gun violence
Authors: Gill Lexi M. , Fox Andrew M. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractResearch has found gun violence is a social contagion that spreads from one individual to another. To understand the social networks of violence, previous research has used social network analysis, a tool that explores the relationships between social actors. Most of the prior research uses coarrest data and incident reports to produce social networks. The current study incorporates the use of an underused data source, ballistic evidence, to better understand gun violence. The aim was to identify drivers of gun violence and to examine network concentration. Specifically, National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) leads and associated criminal incidents in combination with all incident reports were collected from a large urban county in the Pacific Northwest between 2015 and 2017. Social network analysis was conducted to produce a NIBIN network to demonstrate the connections between incidents where the same firearm was used. Social network analysis was also conducted to identify individuals who were the most involved in gun violence. Results reveal gun violence is very interconnected as many of the same firearms were discharged in multiple different incidents with several other individuals involved, indicating a connection between these individuals. This demonstrates the utility of using ballistic evidence beyond using only incident and coarrest data because it provides more information that directly relates to gun violence and the transfer of guns. Additionally, this can be very useful for law enforcement agencies to identify who is integral in the gun violence networks that can be helpful for prevention and intervention strategies.

AbstractIn Cerrado humid areas, veredas are considered as hygrophilous communities, with an herbaceous/shrub stratum in open areas and an arboreal stratum in forest areas. We identified the sexual and reproductive systems of woody species, and the distribution of these systems among the different habitats and plants habits in this ecosystem. We investigated whether the occurrence of sexual and reproductive systems may be related to ecological and/or evolutionary factors and if hermaphroditism predominates in open areas. In this case, we evaluated which reproductive strategies promote cross‐pollination and which species are dependent on pollinating agents to promote the reproductive process. We selected the species according to a phytosociological study, using plots distributed in parallel transects and allocated in the hygrophilous forest and open areas. Floral morphology analyses, self‐pollination treatments, presence of barriers that prevent self‐pollination, phylogenetic signal and literature survey were performed. We did not find phylogenetic signal evidence for the traits evaluated. Most species are trees, followed by shrubs and sub‐shrubs. Dioecy predominated among tree species in the open area, with hermaphroditism more related to shrub species in the open areas. Shrubs and sub‐shrubs were mainly represented by autogamous and apomictic species. Despite autogamy and apomixis were related to the open areas, we found no significant difference between the habitats. In veredas, that are considered a poorly resilient environment that has constant problems with recent anthropogenic activities, we expected a high number of autogamous and apomictic species. However, the results showed that most species have characteristics that promote allogamy and are pollinating agents dependent for reproduction.
Women's responses to prenatal genetic diagnosis and attitudes to termination of pregnancy after non‐invasive prenatal testing: An online survey of Western Australian women
Authors: Long Sarah , O'Leary Peter , Dickinson Jan E. 
Published: September 2022

BackgroundNon‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) has expanded from detecting chromosome aneuploidy to testing for a variety of genetic conditions, including some select single gene disorders. As next generation sequencing/whole exome sequencing technology develops, it may be possible to expand NIPT of cfDNA to identify hundreds of single gene and chromosomal disorders in a fetus, thereby increasing the complexity of pretest counselling and parental decision‐making.AimThe aim of this study was to assess the views of women on the phenotypes of genetic conditions potentially detectable with expanded NIPT that they would consider severe enough to warrant pregnancy termination.Materials and MethodsUsing multiple clinical scenarios, we asked women via an online survey about the early detection of several well‐described genetic phenotypes in pregnancy that in theory could be detected by expanded NIPT.ResultsTwo hundred and nineteen women participated in this study. There was high support for early diagnosis and the option for termination of pregnancy in conditions perceived as severe (52–71%). Women expressed a preference for testing to be provided by general practitioners and assigned a high value to genetic counselling support (75–90%). In the case of a continuing pregnancy, women recognised the essential role of ongoing psychosocial counselling for family members and childhood early intervention programs.ConclusionWomen expressed clear preferences for termination of pregnancy for severe conditions and as early in gestation as feasible. Information and support from genetic counsellors are a highly valued resource in decision‐making following a prenatal diagnosis of a fetal genetic abnormality.

AbstractBackgroundEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, food‐driven allergic disease, characterized by eosinophil‐rich inflammation in the esophagus. The histopathological and clinical features of EoE have been attributed to overproduction of the type 2 cytokines IL‐4 and IL‐13, which mediate profound alterations in the esophageal epithelium and neutralizing of their shared receptor component (IL‐4Rα) with a human antibody drug (dupilumab) demonstrates clinical efficacy. Yet, the relative contribution of IL‐4 and IL‐13 and whether the type II IL‐4 receptor (comprised of the IL‐4Rα chain in association with IL‐13Rα1) mediates this effect has not been determined.MethodsExperimental EoE was induced in WT, Il13ra1−/−, and Krt14Cre/Il13ra1fl/fl mice by skin‐sensitized using 4‐ethoxymethylene‐2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazolin (OXA) followed by intraesophageal challenges. Esophageal histopathology was determined histologically. RNA was extracted and sequenced for transcriptome analysis and compared with human EoE RNAseq data.ResultsInduction of experimental EoE in mice lacking Il13ra1 and in vivo IL‐13 antibody‐based neutralization experiments blocked antigen‐induced esophageal epithelial and lamina propria thickening, basal cell proliferation, eosinophilia, and tissue remodeling. In vivo targeted deletion of Il13ra1 in esophageal epithelial cells rendered mice protected from experimental EoE. Single‐cell RNA sequencing analysis of human EoE biopsies revealed predominant expression of IL‐13Rα1 in epithelial cells and that EoE signature genes correlated with IL‐13 expression compared with IL‐4.ConclusionsWe demonstrate a definitive role for IL‐13 signaling via IL‐13Rα1 in EoE. These data provide mechanistic insights into the mode of action of current therapies in EoE and highlight the type II IL‐4R as a future therapeutic target.

AbstractBackgroundElevated intrascrotal temperature has been suggested as a risk factor for testicular cancer, which is the most common neoplasm among young men. Varicocoele was linked to increased intrascrotal temperature, but whether it is associated with testicular cancer is unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the possible association between varicocoele at adolescence and the incidence of testicular cancer at adulthood.Design, setting, and participantsThis nationwide, population‐based, historical cohort study includes 1,521,661 Israeli male adolescents (mean age 17.5 ± 0.4 years), who were screened for varicocoele during the years 1967–2012, as part of their medical assessment prior to compulsory military service. The mean follow‐up was 18 ± 4.2 years.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisThe diagnosis of testicular cancer was ascertained from linkage of records to the the Israeli National Cancer Registry. Survival analysis was applied.ResultsIn total, 53,210 adolescents were diagnosed with varicocoele stages 2 and 3 prior to military service. Of 1988 (0.13% of the total cohort) men who were diagnosed with testicular cancer during follow‐up, 54 (0.1%) had varicocoele prior to military service, while 1934 (99.9%) did not; p = 0.213. The age at cancer diagnosis and the distribution of seminomas versus non‐seminomas did not differ significantly between those with and without varicocoele in adolescence. In a multivariable analysis controlling for sociodemographic factors, varicocoele was not associated with testicular cancer; odds ratio = 0.816 (CI: 0.615–1.083).ConclusionsVaricocoele in adolescents was not found to be associated with testicular cancer in young adults.Patient summaryIn light of the theoretical association between varicocoele and testicular cancer, we conducted this large population study. We found no association between varicocoele in young adulthood and testicular cancer later in life.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundSinonasal epithelial malignancies are uncommon tumours but represent a challenge to treatment given their close proximity to the orbit, brain and cranial nerves. Traditional external surgical approaches have potential for significant functional and cosmetic morbidity. An endoscopic approach provides the surgeon with good access for tumour removal and enables surveillance postoperatively. This study aimed to assess outcomes of an endoscopic approach to sinonasal epithelial malignancy and evaluate factors that may influence its utility.MethodsA case series was performed involving consecutive patients treated with endoscopic or endoscopic‐assisted surgery for epithelial sinonasal malignancy. Stratification included TNM staging, histopathology, surgical approach, margin status, perineural involvement and adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. At follow‐up, complications, local control, nodal status and evidence of distant metastases were recorded. Statistical analyses to identify risk factors for developing recurrence and survival differences were performed.ResultsThirty‐five patients were assessed in this study (59.2 ± 11.4 years, 42.9% female). T stage at presentation was T1 in 11.4%, T2 in 17.1%, T3 in 22.9% and T4 in 48.6%. The 3 and 5 year disease specific survival were 91.3% (SE 5) and 71.1% (SE 10). The only factors to influence survival outcomes were perineural invasion of tumour and positive margins at the time of initial surgery. Large tumours did not limit the utility of an endoscopic approach.ConclusionEndoscopic approach is a safe and oncologically equitable treatment approach to external approaches in the management of epithelial sinonasal malignancy. As with external approaches, perineural invasion of malignance is a poor prognostic factor.
