description: Emotional labor is a recent topic of interest in library and archival work, and research has explored how library professionals experience emotional labor in the workplace. However, there is a significant gap in the literature in terms of addressing how archive workers, from their own perspective, process and regulate emotional labor. The purpose of this study is to fill a gap in knowledge by exploring emotional labor and emotion regulation strategies through the perspective of archive workers. In particular, this study will examine how archive workers are essentially “grief workers,” and may experience trauma due to the nature of archival work.

description: The researchers and staff of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) have taken great care to document and celebrate its fifty-five-year history. Now, with the retirement of many of FPG’s unofficial history keepers, sustainable stewardship for the archive is needed. This project addresses the transition of FPG’s materials from a collection of documents and photographs into an archive. By creating a collection development policy and access plan, decisions such as acquisition, weeding, and usage of materials will now be guided by procedures and policies. This project’s goal was to remove the responsibility stewardship for the archive from individuals and transition to a sustainably practices within the communications and marketing department of FPG. The collection development policy and access plan were developed with context provided an analysis of the current archival collection and six semi-guided interviews with FPG researchers and staff.

description: The present article reports on findings from a survey administered in (country anonymised) to a national representative sample of parents of children aged 0-8 around their sharenting behaviour. We first frame sharenting as a complex phenomenon where gendered, generational and agentic matters intertwine and mingle in complex ways. We then report results from a cluster analysis aimed at identifying different sharenting styles reflecting the scale and scope of parents’ sharing behaviour among our sample. The relationships between sharenting styles and parents’ socio-demographics, as well as parental practices of privacy management are further explored and reported. Altogether, findings provide insights into the experience of sharenting in family life pointing to a variety of sharing practices, while also showing first that sharenting represents a key site of identity performance for young mothers, and then how parents negotiate and manage related issues of agency and privacy.

Shifting the Narrative: A content analysis of first-generation student portrayal in Library and Information Science literature

Content analysis

description: The goal of this study was to understand what first-generation college students’ (FGS) portrayal in Library and Information Science (LIS) literature reveals about characterizations researchers make when attempting to identify, explain, and understand the needs of FGS. Specifically, it sought to better understand how perceptions of first-generation students in LIS literature have changed and whether the needs and behaviors of first-generation students are portrayed with deficit or asset-based thinking. All nine articles analyzed were published between 2008 and 2020 and were subject to content analysis. The findings demonstrate a tendency towards deficit-based portrayals of FGS, which can cause unintended harm to students. This paper suggests ways to approach FGS students in more productive, asset-based ways such as adopting critical librarianship practices, normalizing help-seeking behavior, and diversifying who can be an authority on the library. By dismantling deficit thinking and instead engaging students with an asset-based approach, academic librarians can acknowledge the unique needs of FGS without diminishing the complexities of their lives.

description: Presolar grains are trace components in chondrite matrices. Their abundances and compositions have been systematically studied in carbonaceous chondrites but rarely in situ in other major chondrite classes. We have conducted a NanoSIMS isotopic search for presolar grains with O- and C-anomalous isotopic compositions in the matrices of the unequilibrated ordinary chondrites Semarkona, Meteorite Hills 00526, and Northwest Africa 8276. The matrices of even the most primitive ordinary chondrites have been aqueously altered and/or thermally metamorphosed, destroying their presolar grain populations to varying extents. In addition to randomly placed isotope maps, we targeted recently reported, relatively pristine Semarkona matrix areas to better explore the original inventory of presolar grains. In all samples, we found a total of 122 O-anomalous grains (silicates + oxides), 79 SiC grains, and 22 C-anomalous carbonaceous grains (organics, graphites). Average matrix-normalized abundances are 151 ppm O-anomalous grains, 53 ppm SiC grains and 56 ppm carbonaceous grains in Semarkona, 55 ppm (O-anom.), 22 ppm (SiC) and 3 ppm (carb.) in MET 00526 and 12 ppm (O-anom.), 15 ppm (SiC) and 1 ppm (carb.) in NWA 8276. In relatively pristine ordinary chondrites and in primitive carbonaceous and C-ungrouped chondrites, the O and C isotopic composition of presolar grains and their matrix-normalized abundances are similar, despite the likely differences in chondrite-formation time and nebular location. These results suggest a relatively homogenous distribution of presolar dust across major chondrite-forming reservoirs in the solar nebula. Secondary asteroidal processes are mainly responsible for differences in presolar grain abundances between and within chondrites, highlighting the need to identify and target the most pristine chondrite matrices for such studies.

Advanced Crisis Management in Enterprise Networks: An Exploratory Study on the Effects of the Pandemic
Creators: name: Gentili, Luigi
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this article is to show the results of an exploratory study on crisis management in business networks. Using sociological research and the case study methodology, twenty-four questionnaires were handed out to managers of interorganizational networks, representative of the associations they belonged to. These are privileged witnesses, active in the most relevant production sectors. The research was carried out on a national level, region by region. The results describe an evolving business trend. According to the respondents, business networks are more efficient when dealing with a crisis. Flexibility, mutual support and territorial roots are the assets that make enterprise networks more competitive. By examining the data we can devise a new socializing practice, carried out in a structure with shared organization. According to the research findings, the identity dimension of business networks needs a deeper understanding. Network branding is a step in that direction. The correlation between network branding and Industry 4.0 policies, another important factor that emerges from the research results, allows us to create a matrix with four styles of crisis management. Together they make up a map of networks management, classified according to the response given to the current pandemic crisis. The advanced crisis management style in the matrix described in this article is an emerging form of inter-firm coordination.

Household Budget Management and Financial Behaviour of the Italian Family in Times of Crisis
Creators: name: Di Maggio, Umberto
name: Lo Verde, Fabio Massimo
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: Why are Italians at the bottom of international rankings on financial literacy? Why do they fail to make speculative financial choices and have a marked aptitude for precautionary saving? Using a Weberian perspective on household “budget management” [haushalt] and analysing the results of recent research (e.g. OECD, CONSOB and Bank of Italy), the authors argue that there are always “good reasons” and thus specific rationality that encourages people to save and reject financial speculation. This economic choice emanates from cognitive bias, financial socialisation, financial literacy, and environmental conditions. The hypothesis is that Italian households demonstrate a weaker attitude towards financial speculation and a better tendency to save because they devote more attention to consumption, which, unlike financial investments, increases and strengthens personal well-being and family relational ties. Finally, the authors affirm the social relevance of specific financial rationality, leading to a typical precautionary behaviour toward saving rather than investing. This particular attitude aims to reduce the perception of uncertainty, and this is just what is happening in the current crisis scenario.

Education and Democracy: The Third Way in Karl Mannheim
Creators: name: Canta, Alba Francesca
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: It is the traumatic events that break the harmony of the world and cause an abrupt turn that devastates all areas of society. Of these, the crisis of democracy and education is one of the harshest: the ability of an individual to actively participate in improving his life and society is in jeopardy. Is there a way forward to build a democratic society? What are the most appropriate methods? What are the main factors that drive this process? These are the questions that K. Mannheim had formulated while witnessing devastating events of his time, and that led him to talk about reconstruction and a new form of democracy, the only form of government capable of putting the individual and the exercise of responsible freedom at the centre (Cesareo & Vaccarini 2009). Mannheim thought it was possible to drive this kind of democratic process through a. democratic planification, which fosters the human development and the participation of all but that, at the same time, guarantees people’s freedom, equality, and dignity; b. democratic education, which represents the main driving factor of this process, capable to form a “new man” which knows how to live in society. The main objective of the essay, is to analyze on a theoretical level Mannheim’s proposal for democracy, highlighting especially the possibility of democratic planning and the importance of education for democracy, describing the steps beyond Mannheim’s analysis. The author thus helps us to understand our Europe today, the problems that afflict it and the possible solutions that contemporary scholars are trying to offer.

Dependency of dynamical ejections of O stars on the masses of very young star clusters

description: Massive stars can be efficiently ejected from their birth clusters through encounters with other massive stars. We study how the dynamical ejection fraction of O star systems varies with the masses of very young star clusters, Mecl, by means of direct N -body calculations. We include diverse initial conditions by varying the half-mass radius, initial mass-segregation, initial binary fraction and orbital parameters of the massive binaries. The results show robustly that the ejection fraction of O star systems exhibits a maximum at a cluster mass of $10^{3.5}$ Msun for all models, even though the number of the ejected systems increases with cluster mass. We show that lower mass clusters (Mecl ~ 400 Msun ) are the dominant sources for populating the Galactic field with O stars by dynamical ejections, considering the mass function of embedded clusters. About 15 per cent (up to 38 per cent, depending on the cluster models) of O stars of which a significant fraction are binaries, and which would have formed in a 10 Myr epoch of star formation in a distribution of embedded clusters, will be dynamically ejected to the field. Individual clusters may eject 100 per cent of their original O star content. A large fraction of such O stars have velocities up to only 10 km/s. Synthesising a young star cluster mass function it follows, given the stellar-dynamical results presented here, that the observed fractions of field and runaway O stars, and the binary fractions among them can be well understood theoretically if all O stars form in embedded clusters.

On Modelling Sputtering of Interstellar Grain Ices

description: In the interstellar medium (ISM), the formation of complex organic molecules (COMs) is largely facilitated by surface reactions. However, in cold dark clouds, thermal desorption of COMs is inefficient because of the lack of thermal energy to overcome binding energies to the grain surface. Non-thermal desorption methods are therefore important explanations for the gas-phase detection of many COMs that are primarily formed on grains. Here we present a new non-thermal desorption process: cosmic ray sputtering of grain ice surfaces based on water, carbon dioxide, and a simple mixed ice. Our model applies estimated rates of sputtering to the 3-phase rate equation model Nautilus-1.1, where this inclusion results in enhanced gas phase abundances for molecules produced by grain reactions such as methanol (CH$_{3}$OH) and methyl formate (HCOOCH$_{3}$). Notably, species with efficient gas phase destruction pathways exhibit less of an increase in models with sputtering compared to other molecules. These model results suggest that sputtering is an efficient, non-specific method of non-thermal desorption that should be considered as an important factor in future chemical models.

description:
Exploratory factor analysis is a widely used framework in the social and behavioral sciences. Since measurement errors are always present in human behavior data, latent factors, generating the observed data, are important to identify. While most factor analysis methods rely on linear relationships in the data‐generating process, deep learning models can provide more flexible modeling approaches. However, two problems need to be addressed. First, for interpretation, scaling assumptions are required, which can be (at least) cumbersome for deep generative models. Second, deep generative models are typically not identifiable, which is required in order to identify the underlying latent constructs. We developed a model that uses a variational autoencoder as an estimator for a complex factor analysis model based on importance‐weighted variational inference. In order to receive interpretable results and an identified model, we use a linear factor model with identification constraints in the measurement model. To maintain the flexibility of the model, we use normalizing flow latent priors. Within the evaluation of performance measures in a talent development program in soccer, we found more clarity in the separation of the identified underlying latent dimensions with our models compared to traditional PCA analyses.

description: The article proposes an analysis of the visual artworks present in the Rigaer Straße area in Berlin. The artworks located in this city area are expressions of dissent against gentrification, real estate groups and other social actors, such as police. With reference to the scientific literature on urban art, the paper proposes visual artworks in Rigaer Straße as a useful element in interpreting actions of social groups in the German capital. In addition, the article proposes visual sociology as a field for analysing urban change and interpreting the city’s visual emergencies, consistently with the sociological tradition of Walter Benjamin and Siegfried Kracauer.

The proportion of patients in the United States receiving postsurgical opioids exceeding recommended thresholds increased between 2006 and 2015

description: Background: Studies have found that patients routinely receive more opioids than medically necessary for adequate postsurgical pain management. This excess prescribing contributes to unused supply, increasing the risk of diversion and nonmedical use. In response to the US opioid crisis, opioid prescription (Rx) limits have been implemented on a state-by-state basis beginning in 2016, with 32 states currently enforcing prescribing limits.

Objectives: Among a broad cohort of opioid-naïve surgical patients in the US, examine trends in 1) the proportion filling opioid Rxs for postsurgical pain, and 2) the initial volume prescribed.

Methods: We identified patients undergoing surgery in MarketScan (2006–2015) and Medicare (2007–2015) claims. We defined the index opioid Rx for postsurgical pain as the first opioid filled in the week surrounding surgery following 180 days with no prior use. To reflect recent policy recommendations, we examined the proportion of patients whose index opioid Rx exceeded 7 days supply, 40 quantity dispensed (QTY), or 300 morphine milligram equivalents (MME).

Results: We identified 5,148,485 opioid-naïve surgical patients in MarketScan (mean age = 45), of whom 2,957,115 (55%) received an index opioid (median: days supply = 5; QTY = 30; MME = 240). The proportion of all patients with an index opioid Rx increased from 51% in 2006 to 62% in 2013, followed by a decline to 42% in 2015. Among patients receiving an index opioid, the proportion receiving >7 days supply increased monotonically, nearly doubling between 2006 (11%) and 2015 (19%). Similarly, the proportion of patients receiving >40 QTY more than doubled throughout the study period, rising from 14% in 2006 to 29% in 2015, and the proportion receiving >300 MME rose from 21% in 2006 to 34% in 2015. Parallel analyses in Medicare found that the proportion receiving post-op opioids continued to increase through 2015, with parallel trends of increasing proportions of patients filling index opioid Rxs above defined thresholds throughout the study period.

Conclusions: Between 2005 and 2013, there was an increase in both the probability of opioid receipt for postsurgical pain, and the proportion of Rxs exceeding recommended thresholds. While the proportion of patients filling opioids began to decline in 2014 among the MarketScan population, the proportion of high threshold Rxs continued to increase. Understanding trends in post-surgical prescribing are vital in informing and evaluating policies aimed at reducing unnecessary opioid exposure and curbing the opioid crisis in the US.

description: В данной статье, опираясь на многочисленные исследования в области социального проектирования и практический опыт реализации социальных проектов, обосновывается актуальность вовлечения молодежи в деятельность по реализации идей проектов, целью которых является воспитание подрастающего поколения в духе патриотизма, уважения к старшим, любви к окружающей действительности, бережного отношения к историческому прошлому своей страны; описаны возможности социальных проектов в развитии гражданской ответственности и гражданского долга перед ветеранами ВОВ. Погружение в проект потребует от преподавателя глубокого осознания всех психолого-педагогических механизмов влияния на обучающихся. В ходе проектирования самым трудным для преподавателя является выполнение роли независимого консультанта. Проектные задачи, встраиваясь в воспитательную деятельность, меняют тип взаимоотношений между студентом и педагогом, способствуют созданию условий для успешной социализации студентов, формированию у них патриотизма.
National Plan of Recovery and Resilience and Digitalization of Public Administrations: New Opportunities for Old Challenges for Social Work
Creators: name: Zenarolla, Anna
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: The object of this paper is to encourage contemplation on the opportunities and problems the contemporary digital era presents for social work. Due to the rapid adoption of digitalization in Public Administrations mandated by National Plan of Recovery and Resilience and National Social Plan 2021-2023, it is important to keep in mind a number of theoretic and methodological tenets in order to avoid reducing social service digitalization to a purely technical issue and to make the most of the opportunities it presents for social work in order to successfully adapt to the specific approach and intervention goals. The reflection is based on observations made while monitoring the creation and implementation of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region’s Informational System for Social Services (ISSS) and the digitization of the Cartella Sociale, used by social workers across all the region’s social services. The paper highlights the significance of considering ISSS not just as a tool for gathering information describing reality but, more importantly, as a tool for its users to advance their knowledge and build relationships with their client and one another. Due to this, it suggests concentrating the informational tools and systems on social workers’ daily tasks and developing them with their direct and ongoing engagement.

description: The collective purchasing organization, Opioid Safety and Naloxone Network (OSNN) Buyers Club, provides over half of all community-based naloxone distributed in the country and is able to do so at a 30x lower cost than retail nasal spray. But, dwindling supply of the overdose reversal antidote is currently forcing community-based programs to heavily ration. The projected shortfall for 2021 is 1 million naloxone doses. We estimate 12,000 to 18,000 avoidance overdose deaths. In this white paper, we provide a summary about the OSNN Buyers Club purchasing patterns and the estimated toll of the naloxone shortage.

The Coronavirus Tradeoff -- Life vs. Economy: Handling the Tradeoff Rationally and Optimally

description: The recent coronavirus outbreak has made governments face an inconvenient tradeoff choice, i.e. the choice between saving lives and saving the economy, forcing them to make immensely consequential decisions among alternative courses of actions without knowing what the ultimate results would be for the society as a whole. This paper attempts to frame the coronavirus tradeoff problem as an economic optimization problem and proposes mathematical optimization methods to make rationally optimal decisions when faced with trade-off situations such as those involved in managing through the recent coronavirus pandemic. The framework introduced and the method proposed in this paper are on the basis of the theory of rational choice at a societal level, which assumes that the government is a rational, benevolent agent that systematically and purposefully takes into account the social marginal costs and social marginal benefits of its actions to its citizens and makes decisions that maximize the society's well-being as a whole. We approach solving this tradeoff problem from a static as well as a dynamic point of view. Finally, we provide several numerical examples clarifying how the proposed framework and methods can be applied in the real-world context.
Measuring Price Risk Aversion through Indirect Utility Functions: A Laboratory Experiment

description: The present paper introduces a theoretical framework through which the degree of risk aversion with respect to uncertain prices can be measured through the context of the indirect utility function (IUF) using a lab experiment. First, the paper introduces the main elements of the duality theory (DT) in economics. Next, it proposes the context of IUFs as a suitable framework for measuring price risk aversion through varying prices as opposed to varying payoffs, which has been common practice in the mainstream of experimental economics. Indeed, the DT in modern microeconomics indicates that the direct utility function (DUF) and the IUF are dual to each other, implicitly suggesting that the degree of risk aversion (or risk seeking) that a given rational subject exhibits in the context of the DUF must be equivalent to the degree of risk aversion (or risk seeking) elicited through the context of the IUF. This paper tests the accuracy of this theoretical prediction through a lab experiment using a series of relevant statistical tests. This study uses the multiple price list (MPL) method, which has been one of the most popular sets of elicitation procedures in experimental economics to study risk preferences in the experimental laboratory using non-interactive settings. The key findings of this study indicate that price risk aversion (PrRA) is statistically significantly greater than payoff risk aversion (PaRA). Additionally, it is shown that the risk preferences elicited under the expected utility theory (EUT) are somewhat subject to context. Other findings imply that the risk premium (RP), as a measure of willingness to pay for insuring an uncertain situation, is statistically significantly greater for stochastic prices compared to that for stochastic payoffs. These results are robust across different MPL designs and various statistical tests that are utilized.

description: We investigate the stellar populations of 25 massive, galaxies ($\log[M_\ast/M_\odot] \geq 10.9$) at $1.5 < z < 2$ using data obtained with the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) on the ESO VLT. Targets were selected to be quiescent based on their broadband colors and redshifts using data from the 3D-HST grism survey. The mean redshift of our sample is $\bar{z} = 1.75$, where KMOS YJ-band data probe age- and metallicity-sensitive absorption features in the rest-frame optical, including the $G$ band, Fe I, and high-order Balmer lines. Fitting simple stellar population models to a stack of our KMOS spectra, we derive a mean age of $1.03^{+0.13}_{-0.08}$ Gyr. We confirm previous results suggesting a correlation between color and age for quiescent galaxies, finding mean ages of $1.22^{+0.56}_{-0.19}$ Gyr and $0.85^{+0.08}_{-0.05}$ Gyr for the reddest and bluest galaxies in our sample. Combining our KMOS measurements with those obtained from previous studies at $0.2 < z < 2$ we find evidence for a $2-3$ Gyr spread in the formation epoch of massive galaxies. At $z < 1$ the measured stellar ages are consistent with passive evolution, while at $1 < z \lesssim2$ they appear to saturate at $\sim$1 Gyr, which likely reflects changing demographics of the (mean) progenitor population. By comparing to star-formation histories inferred for "normal" star-forming galaxies, we show that the timescales required to form massive galaxies at $z \gtrsim 1.5$ are consistent with the enhanced $α$-element abundances found in massive local early-type galaxies.
