Through this study, the authors provide a systematic review of the extant literature on brand hate and shed light upon future research directions. The comprehensive review subsumes a rigorous analysis of peer‐reviewed articles using the stimulus‐organism‐response model to delineate the extant literature. This study also advances a conceptual framework to facilitate the understanding of consumers’ hatred for brands. Finally, the study utilizes theory, context, characteristics, method framework to outline future research agenda and offers valuable implications for practitioners.
Performance pay and alcohol use in Germany
Authors: Baktash Mehrzad B. , Heywood John S. , Jirjahn Uwe 
Published: January 2022

AbstractPrevious studies show that performance pay can benefit firms and workers by increasing productivity and wages. Yet, performance pay can also have unintended consequences for worker health. Using data from the German Socio‐Economic Panel, we examine the hypothesis that alcohol use as “self‐medication” is a natural response to the stress and uncertainty associated with performance pay. We find that the likelihood of consuming each of four types of alcohol (beer, wine, spirits, and mixed drinks) is higher for those receiving performance pay even controlling for a long list of economic, social, and personality characteristics and in sensible instrumental variable estimates. We also show that the number of types of alcohol consumed is larger for those receiving performance pay and that the intensity of consumption increases.
An inventory hub location model for multi‐coal‐fired coastal power plants: a case study in Guangdong district
Authors: Han Peixiu , Sun Zhuo , Liu Zhongbo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe increasing demand for electric power is an established trend in China, of which coal power accounts for a large proportion. This paper proposes an inventory hub location model considering multi‐type coal to minimize the total transportation and inventory cost in a multi‐coal‐power supply chain. A second‐order cone programming method is adopted to convert the original model. The exact solutions of the small‐scale real case show that the model can greatly reduce the total costs by CPLEX. For real‐world large‐scale cases, a customized greedy randomized adaptive search simulated annealing algorithm is devised and tested to obtain near‐optimal solutions within a reasonable time. The research has strong practical guiding significance for the management of the thermal coal supply chain.

Published: January 2022

AbstractAimMicrobial communities often vary spatially in how they assemble and knowledge is lacking about which factors determine the biogeography of host‐associated microbiomes. Our aim is to assess the relative importance of spatial, environmental and host‐associated factors on microbial community composition of an important defoliating insect.LocationBoreal forests in eastern Canada (Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador).TaxonThe eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) and its associated bacterial communities.MethodsWe characterized bacterial communities associated with spruce budworm larvae using bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. We quantified how much of the variation in these bacterial communities could be explained by (1) environmental conditions, (2) the microbiome of foliage the larvae were eating, (3) host tree species and (4) spatial structure as quantified using Moran's Eigenvector Maps (MEMs).ResultsBudworm larval microbiomes varied significantly among sites and between host tree species. Larvae bacterial community structure was strongly correlated with the structure of bacterial communities taken from paired foliage samples. Spatial structure, foliage bacterial communities and host tree species collectively explained almost one‐sixth of the variation in budworm bacterial communities while environmental conditions did not explain variation on their own.Main conclusionsLepidopteran microbiomes primarily originate from the foliage diet. However, subtle differences in microbial communities between larvae and foliage suggest that some bacteria establish and grow in the budworm microbiome, and that dispersal of bacteria from sources other than foliage as well as differences in environmental filtering between larval bodies and foliage play a role in the assembly of the budworm microbiome. While spatial location and spatial structure were also important drivers of spruce budworm bacterial community composition, none of the environmental variables we measured could explain the variation among sites, and identifying the drivers of this spatial variation remains an open question that will need to be addressed by future studies.

AbstractBackgroundPulsed‐field ablation (PFA) yields a novel ablation technology for atrial fibrillation (AF). PFA lesions promise to be highly durable, however clinical data on lesion characteristics are still limited.ObjectiveThis study sought to investigate PFA lesion creation with ultrahigh‐density (UHDx) mapping.MethodsConsecutive AF patients underwent PFA‐based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using a multispline catheter (Farwave, Farapulse Inc.). Additional ablation, including left atrial posterior wall isolation (LAPWI) and mitral isthmus ablation (MI) were performed in a subset of persistent AF patients. The extent of PFA‐lesions and decrease of LA‐voltage were assessed with pre‐ and post PFA UHDx‐mapping (Orion™ catheter and Rhythmia™ 3D‐mapping system, Boston Scientific).ResultsIn 20 patients, acute PVI was achieved in 80/80 PVs, LAPW isolation in 9/9 patients, MI ablation in 2/2 (procedure time: 123 ± 21.6 min, fluoroscopy time: 19.2 ± 5.5 min). UHDx‐mapping subsequent to PVI revealed early PV‐reconnection in five case (5/80, 6.25%). Gaps were located at the anterior‐superior PV ostia and were successfully targeted with additional PFA. Repeat UHDx mapping after PFA revealed a significant decrease of voltage along the PV ostia (1.67 ± 1.36 mV vs. 0.053 ± 0.038 mV, p < .0001) with almost no complex electrogram‐fractionation at the lesion border zones. PFA‐catheter visualization within the mapping system was feasible in 17/19 (84.9%) patients and adequate in 92.9% of ablation sites.ConclusionFor the first time illustrated by UHDx mapping, PFA creates wide antral circumferential lesions and homogenous LAPW isolation with depression of tissue voltage to a minimum. Although with a low incidence, early PV reconnection can still occur also in the setting of PFA.

AbstractBackground and AimA multicenter randomized controlled trial reported a better R0 resection rate for intermediate‐sized (10–20 mm) colorectal polyps with underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) than conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (CEMR). To clarify whether UEMR removes enough submucosal tissue in the removal of unpredictable invasive cancers, we investigated the cutting plane depth with UEMR versus CEMR.MethodsThis was a post‐hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial in which 210 intermediate‐sized colorectal polyps were removed in five Japanese hospitals. One pathologist and two gastroenterologists independently reviewed all resected specimens and measured the cutting plane depth. The cutting plane depth was evaluated as (i) maximum depth of submucosal layer and (ii) mean depth of submucosal layer, calculated using a virtual pathology system.ResultsWe identified 168 appropriate specimens for the evaluation of the cutting plane depth, resected by UEMR (n = 88) and CEMR (n = 80). The median resection depth was not significantly different between UEMR and CEMR specimens, regardless of the measurement method ([i] 1317 vs 1290 μm, P = 0.52; [ii] 619 vs 545 μm, P = 0.32). All specimens in the UEMR and CEMR groups contained substantial submucosa and no muscularis propria.ConclusionsThe cutting plane depth with UEMR was comparable with that with CEMR. UEMR can be a viable alternative method that adequately resects the submucosal layer for the histopathological assessment of unpredictable submucosal invasive cancers.

Published: January 2022

AbstractAimThe diagnosis and treatment of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in pregnancy is challenging due to its rarity. We aim to analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of HLH in pregnancy, and to discuss effective diagnostic and treatment options.MethodsThirteen patients with HLH during pregnancy who were diagnosed and treated at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2000 to December 2019 were studied retrospectively. We collected data on treatment regimens and on maternal and pregnancy outcomes.ResultsAll patients had a singleton pregnancy, with a median age of 28 years (range, 22–33 years) and a median gestational age of 23 weeks (7–36 weeks). Twelve patients received corticosteroids, and four patients (with/without intravenous immunoglobulin) showed a curative effect. Two patients who were treated with dexamethasone and etoposide after termination of pregnancy achieved complete remission. Two patients attained remission after termination of pregnancy. Four pregnant women died, and the mortality rate was 30.8% (4/13). Fetal or neonatal death up to 1 week after delivery occurred in eight (61.5%) pregnancies.ConclusionsEarly diagnosis and treatment are important for maternal survival, and corticosteroids are the first choice for most patients with HLH during pregnancy. For patients who do not respond to corticosteroids, etoposide and termination of pregnancy may be life‐saving.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 in subgingival plaque and periodontal diseases. Meta‐analysis of observational studies
Authors: Arduino Paolo G. , Cabras Marco , Lodi Giovanni , Petti Stefano 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackground and objectivesThis meta‐analysis of observational studies (PROSPERO registration number CRD42021236054) sought to investigate strength and generalizability of the association of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1) in subjects with plaque‐induced gingivitis and periodontitis, since the data from literature are contrasting.Material and methodsCase–control and cross‐sectional studies, investigating HSV‐1 in subgingival plaque/crevicular fluid and periodontal status, were searched through MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. From each study the crude odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95CI) was extracted, and the pooled OR was assessed for periodontitis, chronic and aggressive, and gingivitis. The meta‐analytic method was chosen based on the level of heterogeneity. The generalizability of results, determined by the meta‐analysis bias, was investigated through secondary analyses including sensitivity analyses for study quality, publication bias, and study inclusion, and subgroup analyses for quality of scientific journals that published the primary studies, world Region, subgingival plaque sampling method and study design.ResultsTwelve studies were included (738 cases, 551 controls). The pooled ORs were 4.4 (95CI, 1.9–10.2) for any periodontitis; specifically, 2.8 (95CI, 1.0–8.3) for chronic periodontitis, 11.8 (95CI, 5.4–25.8) for aggressive periodontitis and 4.8 (95CI, 2.1–11.0) for gingivitis. These estimates were statistically significant, excluding for chronic periodontitis, resulting marginally significant (p = .05). Secondary analyses on any and aggressive periodontitis, and, partly, chronic periodontitis corroborated the results, while the material was insufficient for secondary analyses on gingivitis.ConclusionsThe results obtained indicated that HSV‐1 is associated with periodontitis, while data about gingivitis are inconclusive. HSV‐1 investigation in subgingival plaque could help assess periodontitis risk and severity and, if causal association were confirmed, could contribute to its control.
Labor & delivery unit closures most impact travel times to birth locations for micropolitan residents in Iowa

Published: January 2022

AbstractPurposeContinued closure of rural hospitals and labor & delivery units can impact timely access to care. Iowa has lost over a quarter of its labor & delivery units in the previous decade. Calculating how travel times to labor & delivery services have changed, and where in the state the largest travel times take place, are important for understanding access to this critical service.MethodsUsing parental address and facility location from birth certificate data in Iowa from 2013 to 2019, travel times to birth facility are assessed for rural, micropolitan, and metropolitan parents, as well as for complicated versus noncomplicated births and Medicaid versus non‐Medicaid recipients.FindingsParts of the state have travel times that are consistently greater than 30 minutes over the duration of the study. The largest increases in travel times are found among micropolitan residents, particularly those experiencing complicated births. Travel times are consistently the longest for rural residents but increased only slightly over the study time period.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that access to hospital‐based obstetric care is most changed for residents of small towns rather than rural or larger city residents.

Published: January 2022

AbstractTransvenous lead extraction (TLE) is used for lead infection, lead debulking, venous recanalization and device upgrades. Lead extraction is performed using specialized tools including locking stylets, mechanical or rotating sheaths, femoral snares or laser sheaths. The most feared complications associated with lead extraction are bleeding, vascular tear, cardiac avulsion and tamponade. Despite technological progress, the incidence of major procedural complications including death remains slightly above 1%. This case depicts an asymptomatic left common carotid artery (LCCA) to left innominate vein arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after laser‐assisted TLE successfully treated with an endovascular covered stent.

SummarySUMOylation is involved in various aspects of plant biology, including drought stress. However, the relationship between SUMOylation and drought stress tolerance is complex; whether SUMOylation has a crosstalk with ubiquitination in response to drought stress remains largely unclear. In this study, we found that both increased and decreased SUMOylation led to increased survival of apple (Malus × domestica) under drought stress: both transgenic MdSUMO2A overexpressing (OE) plants and MdSUMO2 RNAi plants exhibited enhanced drought tolerance. We further confirmed that MdDREB2A is one of the MdSUMO2 targets. Both transgenic MdDREB2A OE and MdDREB2AK192R OE plants (which lacked the key site of SUMOylation by MdSUMO2A) were more drought tolerant than wild‐type plants. However, MdDREB2AK192R OE plants had a much higher survival rate than MdDREB2A OE plants. We further showed SUMOylated MdDREB2A was conjugated with ubiquitin by MdRNF4 under drought stress, thereby triggering its protein degradation. In addition, MdRNF4 RNAi plants were more tolerant to drought stress. These results revealed the molecular mechanisms that underlie the relationship of SUMOylation with drought tolerance and provided evidence for the tight control of MdDREB2A accumulation under drought stress mediated by SUMOylation and ubiquitination.
Achieving equitable food security: How can food bank mobile pantries fill this humanitarian need
Authors: Stauffer Jon M. , Vanajakumari Manoj , Kumar Subodha , Mangapora Theresa 
Published: January 2022

Hunger occurs in all locations around the globe, from developing to developed countries. In fact, there were over 37 million food insecure individuals (those without access to consistent nutritious food) in the United States in 2018, and this number increased in recent years due to the COVID pandemic. In many countries, food banks are used to consolidate food donations from individuals or government agencies and then provide that food to local partner agencies (such as food pantries and soup kitchens), who distribute it to food insecure individuals. As nonprofit humanitarian organizations, food banks strive to achieve geographic equity in their food distribution, so one area (or county) is not favored over others. However, food banks also want to maximize food distribution with their limited budgets. This equitable distribution versus cost balancing act is made even more challenging since food banks experience extreme variability in both the supply (donations) of food and partner agencies' capacity to deliver food to the food insecure. Our paper focuses on how mobile pantry programs, additional food bank storage capacity, and improved partner agency capacity can be utilized to address this supply and distribution capacity variability while considering food expiration times. Mobile pantry programs allow food banks to distribute food directly to the food insecure by sending their own trucks and employees to locations where food is most needed. Although all three of these approaches can be helpful, our results show that mobile pantries are a more effective approach to achieve high equity levels. This is especially true in the case of produce with relatively short expiration times. We also find that utilizing mobile pantry programs can increase equitable partner agency distribution considerably, because even small amounts of mobile pantry distribution in under‐served areas allow for more equitable partner agency distribution in areas with available partner agency distribution capacity. Our research is based on data from our partner food bank, but our modeling and extensive sensitivity analysis should be applicable to many food banks with a similar collection and distribution structure.
Serving the Law or Playing Politics? The Strategic Use of U.S. Attorney Appointments
Authors: Kinane Christina M. , Mattioli Lauren 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe strategic nature of presidential appointments and politicization of federal prosecution have flourished as separate strains of research. This article opens a dialogue between them by theoretically developing expectations for the three distinct origins of interim U.S. Attorneys. The expectations are tested using an original, continuous data set of all 93 U.S. Attorney positions for 1987 to 2016, which, unlike any other study, includes details of appointment and service for Senate‐confirmed and interim appointees. We find that the opportunity to realize his agenda and divergence from his predecessors motivates the president's revealed preference for interim United States Attorneys of his own choosing.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this cross‐sectional study was to compare explosive strength and underpinning contractile, hypertrophic, and neuromuscular activation characteristics of long‐term maximum strength‐trained (LT‐MST; ie, ≥3 years of consistent, regular knee extensor training) and untrained individuals. Sixty‐three healthy young men (untrained [UNT] n = 49, and LT‐MST n = 14) performed isometric maximum and explosive voluntary, as well as evoked octet knee extension contractions. Torque, quadriceps, and hamstring surface EMG were recorded during all tasks. Quadriceps anatomical cross‐sectional area (QACSAMAX; via MRI) was also assessed. Maximum voluntary torque (MVT; +66%) and QACSAMAX (+54%) were greater for LT‐MST than UNT ([both] p < 0.001). Absolute explosive voluntary torque (25–150 ms after torque onset; +41 to +64%; [all] p < 0.001; 1.15≤ effect size [ES]≤2.36) and absolute evoked octet torque (50 ms after torque onset; +43, p < 0.001; ES = 3.07) were greater for LT‐MST than UNT. However, relative (to MVT) explosive voluntary torque was lower for LT‐MST than UNT from 100 to 150 ms after contraction onset (−11% to −16%; 0.001 ≤ p ≤ 0.002; 0.98 ≤ ES ≤ 1.11). Relative evoked octet torque 50 ms after onset was lower (−10%; p < 0.001; ES = 1.14) and octet time to peak torque longer (+8%; p = 0.001; ES = 1.18) for LT‐MST than UNT indicating slower contractile properties, independent from any differences in torque amplitude. The greater absolute explosive strength of the LT‐MST group was attributable to higher evoked explosive strength, that in turn appeared to be due to larger quadriceps muscle size, rather than any differences in neuromuscular activation. In contrast, the inferior relative explosive strength of LT‐MST appeared to be underpinned by slower intrinsic/evoked contractile properties.
