Blame and culpability in explaining changes in perceptions of corporate social responsibility and credibility
Authors: Souiden Nizar , Chaouali Walid , Aldás‐Manzano Joaquín , Rachid Jamali Dima 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis study uses the sequential updating mechanism and draws on several theories, such as the attribution theory, the self‐perception theory and the shame theory, to explain the interplay between consumers' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate credibility. It contends that both CSR and corporate credibility undergo the sequential updating mechanism. A two‐stage model (before and after a corporate public relation [PR] crisis) is used to investigate how individuals' perceptions of CSR and credibility are determined by their blame attribution to the firm, their self‐culpability, as well as their prior perceptions of CSR and credibility. To test the research hypotheses, four samples were collected from Spain (224 and 244) and the United Kingdom (307 and 236). Respondents had to state their opinions in relation to a Spanish and a British company operating in the fashion industry. For the model estimation, the SmartPLS 3 was used. The results show that consumers' perception of a firm's liability has a significant impact on their feeling of culpability, which in turn strongly and negatively affects their perceptions of the firm's CSR and credibility. In addition, consumers' prior perceptions of CSR and credibility play a relevant role in regulating and offsetting the final effect of a corporate PR crisis.
Advocacy and self‐advocacy in Malta: Reflections on the lives of Maltese people with intellectual disability from the 1950s to the present day
Authors: Callus Anne‐Marie , Bonello Isabel , Micallef Brian 
Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundThis article presents an overview and discussion of the main developments in the lives of persons with intellectual disability in Malta over the last 70 years in residential services, education, employment, friendships and relationships, culture, sport and leisure activities, having a say in one's own life and how people look at persons with intellectual disability. It also discusses who were the people who played important parts in these developments.Materials and MethodsThe article is written by an academic and two self‐advocates with lived experience of intellectual disability. The first author wrote the literature review tracing developments in the disability sector in Malta. These topics were then discussed by the three authors.ResultsThanks to these developments, persons with intellectual disability can live more independently in their community and develop their potential, including the ability to speak for themselves. However, many persons with intellectual disability do not have a say over how they live their lives and experience a lot of control. Very often, it is other people who decide for them. Persons with intellectual disability should enjoy relationships in which they are cared for and they care for others. They should also play an important part in the development of services that are aimed at them.ConclusionsThe authors composed a poem which reflects the main issues that the two self‐advocates consider to be the most important: support, other people's attitudes and knowing what persons with intellectual disability want.

AbstractTo clarify the survival process of walleye pollock larvae of the Japan Pacific stock in relation to the individual egg size, we estimated the original relative egg diameter from the diameter of the hatch check formed on larval sagittal otoliths. Significant positive correlations were obtained between egg diameter and embryonic body length, yolk sac volume, and lapillar otolith diameter in 3‐year groups (2013–2015 year classes) collected with a plankton net in Funka Bay. Embryos before hatching were without a check; however, checks were observed on all larval otoliths just after hatching. The check diameters showed significant positive regressions to age at collection (days after hatching) in 2014 and 2015 year classes, however not in the 2013 year class. Diameters of eggs collected with a ring net in Funka Bay gradually increased from 2013 to 2015 year classes. During the 2013–2015 spawning seasons, the proportion of adult females of the 2007 and 2009 year classes, which had relatively high abundances, gradually increased to higher proportions with age (43%, 57%, and <73%, respectively), indicating that the mechanism by which the eggs gradually became larger. The low water temperature experienced by the spawners ca. 2 months earlier, advancement in spawner age, and increase of repeat spawners (at least twice in their life time) would contribute to the increase in egg size and growth and survival rate of walleye pollock larvae.
Hidradenitis suppurativa: a review of current treatment options
Authors: Lewandowski Miłosz , Świerczewska Zuzanna , Barańska‐Rybak Wioletta 
Published: February 2022

AbstractHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, progressive, debilitating, recurrent inflammatory skin disease characterized by the occurrence of very severe, persistent, painful nodules, abscesses, and fistulas, most commonly found in the skin folds of the axilla, groin, gluteal, and perianal areas. The pathogenesis of HS is still not completely understood; currently, it is considered to be an immune‐mediated inflammatory illness (IMID). Due to the significant decrease in the patients' quality of life and a delayed beginning of a treatment, the selection of the appropriate therapy is extremely important in these patients. Regardless of the fact that there are multiple treatment options for HS, no uniformly effective therapy has been found. All the guidelines underline the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the disease, which enables providers to create the right management of HS. This article aims to provide updates on the current treatment options of acne inversa to raise awareness and improve the management of the disease.
Putting humour to work: To make sense of and constitute organizations
Authors: Huber Guy 
Published: February 2022

AbstractHow do people use humour to make sense of and constitute organizations? To understand this, I consider humour as a dynamic discursive practice, through which people (re)produce, complicate and potentially transform relations of power in the workplace. To extend the reach of humour research to this end, I have reviewed and synthesized the literature on humour to identify five contextual resources for agentic sensemaking in the use of humour through which discourses are destabilized and critiqued. I then consider six discursive practices, exercised through humour, that generate power and help constitute organizations. To complete my conceptual framework, I identify and discuss five potential avenues for future research on humour and power at work. I aim to inspire researchers to associate, use and analyse the processes in my framework to generate critically orientated evidence of how people use humour to substantiate organizational/workplace realities. I conclude that humour offers rich potential to better understand how people subjectively constitute organizations in practice.
A penalty decomposition algorithm with greedy improvement for mean‐reverting portfolios with sparsity and volatility constraints
Authors: Mousavi Ahmad , Shen Jinglai 
Published: February 2022

AbstractMean‐reverting portfolios with few assets, but sufficient variance, are of great interest for investors in financial markets. Such portfolios are straightforwardly profitable because they include a small number of assets whose prices not only oscillate predictably around a long‐term mean but also possess enough volatility. Roughly speaking, sparsity minimizes trading costs, volatility provides arbitrage opportunities, and mean‐reversion property equips investors with ideal investment strategies. Finding such appealing portfolios can be formulated as a nonconvex quadratic optimization problem with an additional sparsity constraint. To the best of our knowledge, there is no method in the literature that directly solves this problem with its solution achieving favorable theoretical properties. In this paper, we develop an efficient two‐stage algorithm for solving this problem which, in the worst case, provably obtains a stationary point and further, demonstrates numerical efficiency. In the first stage of our algorithm, we apply a tailored penalty decomposition method for finding a stationary point of this nonconvex problem. For a fixed penalty parameter, the block coordinate descent method is utilized to find a stationary point of the associated penalty subproblem. In the second stage, we improve the result from the first stage via a greedy scheme that solves restricted nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs). We show that the optimal value of such a QCQP can be obtained by solving their semidefinite relaxations. Numerical experiments on S&P 500 are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic caused collateral damage to patients with acute and chronic conditions. In this mono‐centre cross‐sectional study, we sought to evaluate the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In June 2020, we sent an anonymous survey to 109 patients, who were diagnosed with HS in our outpatient clinic from May 2018 to April 2020. Fifty patients (45.9%) completed and returned the survey. Forty‐five participants (90.0%) denied any cancellation of hospitalisation due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Hospitalisation was postponed in 8% of cases and cancelled in 2%. Compared to prior to the pandemic, fewer patients consulted their primary physician for changing wound dressings and more changed the dressings themselves or were assisted by their family members. 13% of patients avoided doctor visits due to fear of COVID‐19 and 26.1% minimised doctor visits. The Dermatology Life Quality Index showed a moderate to very severe impact on patients' Quality of Life (mean score = 10.06). Only one patient used telemedicine. Due to limited access to primary care and fear of COVID‐19, the pandemic had a detectable impact on the hospital management of patients with HS in our facility. Telemedicine still plays a negligible role in primary wound care.

AbstractAimTo determine the prevalence and risk factors for dating violence and the correlations between dating violence and violence in social networks, anxiety and depression among nursing students.DesignA cross‐sectional and correlational study.MethodsThis study was conducted with nursing degree students at Spanish university during May 2021. A total of 248 nursing students completed an online survey. The online survey included sociodemographic variables, the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory, the Social Network Violence Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Chi‐squared test, Pearson's correlation and logistic regression were used.ResultsOf the participants, 13.3% were men and 86.7% were women. A total of 53.2% had experienced and/or perpetrated dating violence. About violence in social networks, 22.2% of the participants had perpetrated it, and 20.2% had been victims of it. Strong correlations were found between experiencing and perpetrating dating violence. Significant associated factors were cohabitation with a partner, alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status and history of dating violence.ConclusionsDating violence is a serious problem given its high prevalence among the surveyed nursing students, who, as future health professionals, must know how to recognize and react to possible cases of abuse.ImpactThe study results add to international literature that men and women university nursing students are equally susceptible to intimate partner violence and report similar prevalence of dating violence. Also, dating violence is correlated with increased levels of anxiety and depression. It seems to be necessary to implement training programmes that help minimize the problem and identify possible cases.
Forestry clear‐cuts increase environmental temperatures, affecting the ecophysiological responses of specialized beetles in fragmented landscapes
Authors: Barahona‐Segovia Rodrigo M. , Grez Audrey A. , Veloso Claudio 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe forestry practice of clear‐cutting (the removal of all woody vegetation) results in a range of negative impacts on ectotherm physiology and behaviour. Organisms in these habitats can experience elevated body temperature due to increases in air and soil temperature, affecting their performance. In this study, we evaluated the effect of ambient temperature (air and soil), habitat type (clear‐cut, forest edge and forest interior) and season (summer and autumn) on body temperature, microhabitat use and velocity of the thermosensitive ground‐beetleCeroglossus chilensis. We found that body temperature ofC.chilensisincreased with higher soil temperature in summer, especially in clear‐cuts, although body temperature decreased rapidly when sheltering in microhabitats (e.g. dead logs, plants and leaf litter). Leaf litter and dead logs were more frequently selected in native forest and clear‐cuts, respectively, but in clear‐cuts, dead logs and plants have up to 4°C higher than the optimal preference ofC. chilensis. Higher soil temperature and lower activity levels of beetles were observed in clear‐cuts in summer than in the other two habitat types, and beetles moved faster in the interior of the native forest than in other habitats regardless of the season. Our results suggest thatC. chilensisis a bioindicator of changes in ambient temperatures occurring after forest fragmentation by forestry. We suggest that the management and maintenance of thermal shelters in clear‐cuts could lessen the negative effects of high temperatures on thermosensitive beetles in fragmented forest landscapes.

AbstractPolymerase chain reaction assays of eight yellow mosaic disease (YMD) affected moth bean samples using specific primers indicated the presence of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV), Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Horsegram yellow mosaic virus (HgYMV) in two samples (Mo1 and Mo5) and two of these three viruses in remaining six samples. Sequence data analysis of Mo1 and Mo2 revealed the involvement of multiple DNA‐A and DNA‐B molecules in both samples. Further analysis of DNA‐A and DNA‐B molecules confirmed the presence of three viruses viz., MYMIV, MYMV and HgYMV, in Mo1 and of two MYMV and HgYMV in Mo2 samples. Analysis of common region (CR) sequences of components (DNA‐A and DNA‐B) of each virus indicated >85% nucleotide identity confirming them to be cognate and species integrity. The recombination analysis revealed the presence of a total of six putative recombination events in the viruses under study. In a phylogenetic analysis of DNA‐A sequences of the viruses under study with bipartite legume‐infecting begomoviruses and some selected old and new world begomoviruses, MYMIV, MYMV and HgYMV grouped with respective virus species. Similar grouping and clustering were found in the DNA‐B sequences also. The present study reports infection by HgYMV in moth bean and the association of three viruses (MYMIV, MYMV and HgYMV) with moth bean yellow mosaic disease for the first time. The presence of mixed infection of begomoviruses provides opportunities for the exchange of DNA between the species which may lead to the development of new strain/virus species.

Published: February 2022

SummaryAcoustic stimulation synchronized to slow oscillations in scalp electroencephalograms has been shown to enhance sleep features, which makes it promising in boosting cognitive functions as well as in the treatment of some sleep disturbances. Nevertheless, scalp electrode sensors are resource intensive and poorly tolerated by sleeping patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential usability of in‐the‐ear electroencephalography to implement auditory closed‐loop stimulation during sleep. For this, we evaluated the agreement between slow oscillation recordings obtained through the in‐ear sensor and those obtained simultaneously from standard scalp electrodes during naps of 13 healthy subjects. We found that in‐ear activity provided enough information to automatically detect sleep slow oscillations in real‐time. Based on this, we successfully enhanced scalp slow oscillations using auditory single‐cycle closed‐loop brain‐state‐dependent stimulation based on in‐ear signals acquired in 11 further subjects. We conclude that in‐ear sensors provide a feasible technology for the enhancement of sleep patterns, and could pave the way for new clinical applications in the near future.

AbstractBackgroundAortic and aortoiliac thrombosis in dogs causes disease and death.ObjectiveTo describe the procedure and outcomes for stenting the caudal aorta and aortoiliac trifurcation.AnimalsSeven client‐owned dogs that underwent aortic/aortoiliac stenting for treatment of thrombosis.MethodsRetrospective multi‐center investigation. Medical records were reviewed for dogs that underwent stenting of the aorta or aortoiliac trifurcation between 2008 and 2020. Information collected included history, signalment, clinicopathologic data, diagnostic imaging, procedure reports, and outcomes.ResultsSeven dogs with an occlusive thrombus located at or near the aortic trifurcation were included. Four of 7 dogs were non‐ambulatory. Hind limbs were paretic in 5 dogs, paralyzed in 1 dog, and claudication alone was noted in 1 dog. Five of the 7 dogs had protein‐losing nephropathy (PLN). Of 5 dogs with PLN, 1 had protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) and controlled hypothyroidism and 1 had caudal aortic chondrosarcoma. Two dogs had no identified underlying disease. Angiography was performed before catheter directed thrombolysis and stent placement. No deaths occurred during the procedure. Postoperative complications included pain (4/7), bruising and edema (3/7), bruising only (1/7), and edema only (1/7). Median survival time (MST) of the 7 dogs was 264 days (range, 1‐1053 days). Five of 7 dogs were ambulatory within 2 days of stenting and survived to discharge with a MST of 425 days (range, 208‐1053 days).Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceStenting of the aorta and aortoiliac trifurcation can provide an apparently safe and effective treatment with rapid return to ambulation for some dogs with aortic thrombosis.
Assessing technological trends through patent landscaping: The case of Bitcoin
Authors: Cavalheiro Gabriel M. do C. , Cavalheiro Mariana B. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWith the appearance and the growing attention obtained by Bitcoin worldwide, the demand for cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technology is being driven forward at a great speed. Therefore, given the rapid valuation and strong price volatility of Bitcoin in combination with the huge potential for expansion that cryptocurrencies are expected to hold, the ability to develop technologies to help users and financial institutions carrying out transactions based on Bitcoins is also highly sought. To improve understanding of the technological trends associated with the recent valuation explosion of Bitcoin, this study assesses patent filing patterns associated with Bitcoin‐based technologies. More specifically, this study provides robust empirical evidence pointing out that the recent increased visibility of Bitcoin also motivated a strong increase in patent filings addressing technologies related to Bitcoin, thereby turning this particular cryptocurrency into a technological hotspot. Additionally, we present evidence that most Bitcoin technologies address data processing issues, rather than electric signal processing, or hardware technologies. Another relevant finding concerns the geographical concentration of patent applications, as the majority of applicants are based in highly heterogeneous countries, such as United States, China, and South Korea.

Published: February 2022

AbstractVenous thrombosis is a frequent complication in cancer and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and a leading cause of cancer‐related death worldwide, and it is associated with preexisting cirrhosis in 90% of cases. Patients with cirrhosis acquire complex alterations in their haemostatic system that may predispose them to bleed or thrombotic complications. There is growing evidence that HCC may tilt the haemostatic equilibrium in cirrhosis towards hypercoagulability, thus increasing the risk of venous thrombosis. Previously described mechanisms of HCC‐driven thrombophilia include thrombocytosis and increased platelet activation/function, increased fibrinogen concentration/polymerization, enhanced thrombin generation, hypofibrinolysis, and release of tissue factor‐expressing microvesicles. Nevertheless, there are currently no specific guidelines on risk stratification and management of thromboprophylaxis in patients with cirrhosis and HCC. Our review endeavours to summarize the latest findings on epidemiology, risk factors and pathogenesis of non‐malignant venous thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis and HCC, and provide evidence in support of tailored management of thrombotic risk in these patients.
