AbstractAimTo: (1) investigate the importance of outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) within a core outcome set (COS) for multimorbidity (at least two chronic health conditions) risk in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP); (2) investigate the feasibility of OMIs within the COS in international clinical research settings in adolescents and adults with CP; and (3) describe the associations between the COS data and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels.MethodEighty‐three individuals with CP completed a survey on health outcomes: physical behaviour, nutrition, sleep, endurance, body composition, blood pressure, blood lipids, and glucose. A cross‐sectional study assessed the feasibility of the COS in 67 adolescents and adults with CP (mean age 30y, SD 15y 1mo, min–max: 14–68y, 52.2% male) at four centres. Prevalence of multimorbidity risk and associations with GMFCS levels are described.ResultsMost participants rated physical behaviour, nutrition, sleep, and endurance as very important. Body composition, blood pressure, nutrition, and sleep were highly feasible since data were collected in 88% or more participants who consented to having the assessments. Physical behaviour, cardiorespiratory endurance, and blood draws were collected in less than 60% of participants. Total time sedentary (ρ=0.53, p<0.01) and endurance (ρ=−0.46, p<0.01) were significantly associated with GMFCS level.InterpretationThe COS identified that most participants had poor sleep quality and endurance, did not have healthy diets, and showed increased sedentary behaviour. Individuals with CP valued these outcomes as most important, suggesting a need to assess these modifiable behaviours in this population. Objective measures of physical behaviour and cardiorespiratory endurance in the COS required additional personnel, time, and participant burden. We recommend that healthcare providers should perform a simpler first screen using questionnaire‐based assessments and then focus the use of the remainder of the COS if required for the patient.

AbstractDisease outbreaks induced by humans increasingly threaten wildlife communities worldwide. Like predators, pathogens can be key top‐down forces in ecosystems, initiating trophic cascades that may alter food webs. An outbreak of mange in a remote Andean protected area caused a dramatic population decline in a mammalian herbivore (the vicuña), creating conditions to test the cascading effects of disease on the ecological community. By comparing a suite of ecological measurements to pre‐disease baseline records, we demonstrate that mange restructured tightly linked trophic interactions previously driven by a mammalian predator (the puma). Following the mange outbreak, scavenger (Andean condor) occurrence in the ecosystem declined sharply and plant biomass and cover increased dramatically in predation refuges where herbivory was historically concentrated. The evidence shows that a disease‐induced trophic cascade, mediated by vicuña density, could supplant the predator‐induced trophic cascade, mediated by vicuña behaviour, thereby transforming the Andean ecosystem.
Is money really left on the table? The role of regular investors in IPO pricing
Authors: Geranio Manuela , Mazzoli Camilla , Palmucci Fabrizio 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWe study how ongoing relationships between lead underwriters and institutional investors affect initial public offering (IPO) pricing. By introducing a new approach, we find that stronger relationships reduce the partial adjustment of the offer price, leaving ‘excess underpricing’ that favors regular investors, especially in hot IPOs, while generating an agency cost for issuers. At the same time, stronger relationships lead to higher offer prices, since they reduce information asymmetries and uncertainty in the primary market. This ‘excess price adjustment’ creates value for issuers. Taken together, these two apparently contradictory results reveal a win‐win outcome for issuers and regular investors.
Contemporary environment and historical legacy explain functional diversity of freshwater fishes in the world rivers

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimRegional taxonomic diversity (species richness) is strongly influenced by a joint effect of the current processes (habitat and energy availability) and historical legacies (past climate and geography), but it is still unclear how those historical and current environmental drivers have shaped the functional diversity of species assemblages.Major taxa studiedFreshwater fish.LocationGlobal.Time period1960s–2000s.MethodsWe combined the spatial occurrences over 2,400 river basins world‐wide and the functional traits measured on 10,682 freshwater fish species to quantify the relative role of the habitat, climate and historical processes on the current global fish functional diversity. To avoid any correlation between taxonomic diversity and functional diversity, we controlled for differences in the number of species (species richness) between rivers. Functional diversity was considered through three complementary facets: functional richness, functional dispersion and functional identity.ResultsThe habitat‐related variables explained most of the gradient in functional richness, verifying the habitat size–diversity hypothesis. In contrast, the historical climate–geography legacies markedly imprinted the functional dispersion and functional identity patterns, leading to a balanced influence of the current and historical processes. Indeed, the distribution of morphological traits related to fish dispersal was explained largely by the glaciation events during the Quaternary, leading to strong latitudinal gradients.Main conclusionsThis study provides new insights into the role of historical and current environmental determinants on the functional structure of fish assemblages and strengthens the proposal that the independence of facets of functional diversity from the species richness makes them essential biodiversity variables to understand the structure of communities and their responses to global changes.
Consumer behavior in sustainable fashion: A systematic literature review and future research agenda
Authors: Busalim Abdelsalam , Fox Grace , Lynn Theo 
Published: February 2022

AbstractDuring the last decade, sustainable fashion has attracted increasing attention from policymakers, firms, and consumers. This interest is also reflected in consumer behavior research in this area. Notwithstanding this, there are few systematic literature reviews from a consumer behavior perspective. The purpose of this paper is to systematically review and critically assess the studies on consumer behavior in sustainable fashion to identify the research gap in this context and inform a future research agenda. A total of 167 journal articles were identified, and a final sample of 88 articles were synthesized. A descriptive analysis was performed to examine the research methods, research trends, and theoretical underpinnings. Separately, a synthetic analysis was performed using the Stimulus‐Organism‐Response (S‐O‐R) framework. Findings reveal a significant increase in the volume of publications since 2009. Qualitative, experimental, cross‐cultural, and longitudinal studies are significantly less represented in the literature. No evidence of research using big data techniques were identified. Much of the research published is not adequately grounded in theory. The findings also suggest that the consumer attitude‐behavior gap requires further exploration. This review fills a need to summarize the current state of consumer behavior in sustainable fashion literature and provides valuable insights into the existing marketing corpus on the topic. Moreover, the review identifies a number of outstanding research gaps that can inform future research.
Payout policies, government ownership, and financial constraints: Evidence from Vietnam

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of government ownership on payout policies, cash holdings, capital expenditures, and borrowing costs for firms in Vietnam. Using the central hypothesis that state‐owned firms (SOEs) are less financially constrained than privately‐owned firms, we provide several main findings. First, we reveal that SOEs typically pay higher dividends, have higher total payouts, but undertake lower repurchases than privately‐owned firms. Second, we find that SOEs have less need to hoard cash and spend less of their cash flow on capital expenditures than non‐state‐owned firms. Finally, our research indicates that SOEs have lower borrowing costs than privately owned firms. These findings support the view that, in frontier markets, firms with non‐state ownership can mitigate the adverse effects of financial constraints by decreasing total payouts to shareholders and instead using their cash flow to increase cash holdings or capital spending.

AbstractA facile method to synthesis of CaWO4:Ln3+ nanocrystals and transparent CaWO4:Ln3+/polystyrene (PS) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) copolymer films with outstanding luminescent property and high transparency is proposed. The average diameter of CaWO4:Ln3+ nanorods is 3.3 ± 3 nm, and the average length is 40.3 ± 20 nm. The as‐prepared CaWO4:Ln3+/PS or PMMA copolymer films with high solids loading (>5 vol%) exhibit excellent near‐ultraviolet absorption and outstanding visible transparency under the naked eye. The experiment results about the relationship between the solids loading and the film transparency are compared and analyzed. These optical results suggest that our nanorod has a versatile strategy for producing highly transparent functional luminescent composites, which indicates the promising applications in the field of optoelectronics in the future.

AbstractBackgroundJob satisfaction and retention of healthcare staff remains an ongoing issue in many health systems. Huddles have been endorsed as a mechanism to improve patient safety by improving teamwork, collaboration, and communication in teams.AimThis study aims to synthesises the literature to investigate the impact of huddles on job satisfaction, teamwork, and work engagement in multidisciplinary healthcare teams.MethodsFive academic databases were searched to conduct a systematic review of peer‐reviewed literature published from January 2000 to January 2020. Articles were included if they (1) featured a daily huddle, were conducted in a healthcare setting, and involved a multidisciplinary team and (2) measured variables including job satisfaction, work engagement, or teamwork. Results were reported in accordance with the systematic synthesis without meta‐analysis and preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analysis guidelines. We identified 445 articles of which 12 met the eligibility criteria and are included in this review.ResultsAll 12 included studies found a predominantly positive impact on teamwork and job satisfaction. None of the studies discussed or reported evidence of the impact of huddles on work engagement. This review highlights the value of a daily multidisciplinary healthcare team huddle in improving job satisfaction and teamwork for the healthcare staff involved. However, there is a dearth of high‐quality, peer‐reviewed evidence regarding the direct impact of huddles on job satisfaction, teamwork and in particular on work engagement. Further research—particularly controlled studies on adoption, implementation and outcomes for healthcare team culture—is needed to further assess this intervention.

AbstractThe export of grapes from one country to another is dependent on the grape's quality that should pass the strict phytosanitary requirements of the importing country. There is a requirement of fumigation of grapes with CO2 and SO2 at specified concentrations for a certain period besides the other pack‐house protocols and export standards. This study was focused to develop and establish an electronically controlled model fumigation chamber for the treatment of grapes in the grapes‐producing region. The gas injection and evacuation systems are electronically operated, and the fumigant concentration can be varied according to the requirement. Heaters of 2 kW are fitted inside the chamber to maintain the treatment temperature above 16°C for grapes fumigation. The fumigation chamber was found leak‐proof during pressurized helium leak testing. The CO2 and SO2 gas concentrations can be maintained between 600 and 60,000 ± 100 ppmv and 10 and 10,000 ± 2 ppmv, respectively, for 1–90 min (1% is equivalent to 10,000 ppmv). The fumigation of grapes with 6% CO2 for 30 min followed by fumigation with 1% SO2 for 30 min ensured 100% mortality of the adult fruit fly (Drosophilla melanogaster). This chamber may also be used for the fumigation treatment of other fruits, vegetables, nuts, and so on, as per the time and concentration of gases required for the 100% mortality of target pest. Nevertheless, the protocol for such treatments should be developed for other fruits, and the effect of the gases on the quality of the products should be studied.Practical ApplicationsThe developed automated fumigation chamber for treatment of grapes with CO2 and SO2 is an effective measure for disinfesting the grapes from invasive pests like Drosophilla suzukii, spiders, and so on. This would help in overcoming phytosanitary measures put in place by many grapes importing countries like New Zealand, Australia, and so on. These countries offer huge market potential for export of Indian grapes, and if the trade barriers are overcome, it would lead to earning huge foreign exchange. Furthermore, the developed automated fumigation chamber can be used as an integral part of horticultural pack houses both for domestic as well as international trade as it would eliminate most of the adult field pests at preliminary stages before pack‐house operation.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundFruit intake, including consumption of 100% fruit juice, is generally associated with a better diet quality and overall health. However, fruit and vegetable intakes are below recommendations in many countries.MethodsThe present study examined fruit juice intake and total energy and nutrient intakes according to juice consumption or non‐consumption in participants in the National Dietary and Nutrition Survey Rolling Programme 2014–2016 in the UK (n = 2723) and the Individual and National Study on Food Consumption 2006–2007 (n = 4079) in France. Total energy and nutrient intakes were also estimated for scenarios in which orange juice with pomace was either added to the daily diet or replaced 100% orange juice or beverages containing fruit juice.ResultsFruit juice consumers had higher intakes of fruits and vegetables than non‐consumers, were more likely to reach 5‐a‐day targets for fruit and vegetable consumption, and had significantly higher intakes of folate, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and fibre. Juice consumers also had higher total energy and sugar intakes, but lower body mass index than non‐juice consumers. Modelling consumption of orange juice with pomace increased fibre and potassium intakes in orange juice consumers, and also increased fibre, most micronutrients, and 5‐a‐day achievements in non‐juice consumers.ConclusionsThese national survey results demonstrate that fruit juice consumers in the UK and France had higher intakes of fruits and vegetables than fruit juice non‐consumers, and significantly higher intakes of several micronutrients and fibre. Furthermore, modelling of consumption of orange juice with pomace increased fibre and select micronutrient intakes, particularly among fruit juice non‐consumers.

ObjectiveWe examined time perspective in patients with amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Prior research has shown that aMCI is associated with difficulties in experiencing time duration and succession. However, this line of inquiry has not been extended to time perspective. We examined associations between aMCI and multiple dimensions of time perspective including perceived orientations and relationships among the past, present, and future.MethodThirty aMCI patients and thirty‐three healthy controls participated. Measures were the Time Orientation Scale (TOS), the Time Relation Scale (TRS), and the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), as well as a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.ResultsThe TRS was associated with aMCI. Patients with aMCI were more likely to perceive that time was unrelated than the healthy older adults. Among patients with aMCI, an unrelated time perspective was associated with poorer performance in executive function measures. However, aMCI was not associated with the TOS or the ZTPI.ConclusionsPatients with aMCI have difficulty in perceiving relationships among the past, present, and future. This could be the consequence of deficits in executive functions. This research suggests that patients with aMCI may have limited understanding for how their current behaviours are related to both their past and future.

AbstractBackgroundLipoid proteinosis (LP) or Hyalinosis Cutis et Mucosae or Urbach–Wiethe disease is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by an amorphous hyaline material deposition in the skin mucosa and viscera. The clinical symptoms of this disease often begin in childhood, which persist throughout life. Skin manifestations include inflammation, scaling, acne, and eventually ulceration, and hyaline amorphous deposits in these areas of the wound cause a waxy and thick appearance on the skin. In addition, wounds leave atrophic scars like chickenpox.AimHerein, we present the first case of LP in the north of Iran; although LP is a sporadic disease, it occurs all around the world, with about 400 cases worldwide having been reported thus far.PatientWe report the case of a 28‐year‐old female patient with a history of skin lesions on her face, scalp, extremities, and buttock, as well as hoarse cry, respiratory problems, dysphagia, and migraine since childhood. There was no evidence of other clinical presentations. A biopsy was taken from the lesions, and the patient was diagnosed with LP. A laryngeal laser was performed for the patient, and peeling creams were used for her skin lesions.ResultAccording to previous findings, there has been no case report of LP with systemic symptoms in the north of Iran.
Alarin: A new predictive marker in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A case–control study

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimThere is scant evidence concerning the relationship of alarin concentrations for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) status in the existing literature. Therefore, we aimed to reveal the relationship about predictive value of serum alarin concentrations for PCOS risk in infertile women.MethodsThis prospective case–control study included a total of 151 infertile women who met eligibility criteria of the study. Infertile women diagnosed with PCOS formed the study group (n = 80). Women with diagnoses of unexplained infertility constituted the control group (n = 71). The biochemical analyses of serum concentrations of lipid profiles, estradiol (E2), follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), anti‐Mullerian hormone (AMH) and alarin were performed.ResultsThere were no differences for the study parameters, including age, body mass index, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, total triglyceride, E2, and FSH levels in either group. Serum LH, AMH, alarin concentrations, and antral follicle counts had higher values in the PCOS group compared with the controls. Correlation analysis revealed that serum alarin levels were significantly positively correlated with LH and AMH levels, only in the PCOS group. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that infertile women with high alarin concentrations were significantly more likely to develop PCOS (OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 0.095–0.332, p < 0.001).ConclusionHigher serum concentrations of alarin and a positive correlation with serum LH levels were found in infertile women with PCOS. This evidence supported that high alarin concentrations might play a role in the development of PCOS.
