Reviewing corporate social responsibility communication: a legitimacy perspective
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to answer the call for CSR communication research to develop and substantiate outcomes that may better explain CSR communication strategies and practices. The paper takes the research a step further, exploring the role of legitimacy in CSR communication research.Design/methodology/approachA literature collection methodology, combined with directed content analysis, was used to identify central themes in the literature.FindingsThe following categories of studies were identified: perception, impact and promotion studies; image and reputation studies; performance studies; and conceptual/rhetorical studies. Addressed from a legitimacy perspective, the study found that the most important types of legitimizing communicative practices articulated in the four types of studies were related to: seeking knowledge about stakeholders through perception, impact and promotion activities; monitoring and controlling the environment through image and reputation activities; creating stakeholder value through collaboration and engagement; and persuading and convincing stakeholders through rhetorics, CSR models and concepts. The study also found that practices and activities related to perceiving stakeholders’ expectations, needs and requirements are assumed to be most effective for corporations aiming at building or maintaining legitimacy.Originality/valueThe key contribution of the paper lies in exploring how corporate legitimacy is anticipated and extrapolated in the CSR communication literature, including which pinpointed CSR communication strategies and practices are assumed to be more effective than others in bridging stakeholders’ perceptions of corporations’ social and environmental actions. Until date, no reviews exist of the role of legitimacy in CSR communication research.

Comparison of Genetic Variants and Manifestations of OTUD6B-Related Disorder: The First Mexican Case
The intellectual disability syndrome characterized by seizures and dysmorphic features was initially described in 2017 and was associated with genetic variants in the OTUD6B gene, identified by exome sequencing (ES) in a large cohort. This multisystem disorder primarily affects the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal, and the skeletal systems. In this article, we describe the first Mexican patient diagnosed by ES. The homozygous c.433C>T (p.Arg145*) variant of the OTUD6B gene confirmed this intellectual disability syndrome. In addition to seizures and other more frequently reported manifestations of this condition, this is the third patient with associated hypothyroidism and hypogammaglobulinemia, underscoring the value of screening for these conditions in other patients. The current challenge with this patient is to ensure medical management of his seizures and provide him with a better quality of life. The possibilities of additional therapeutic approaches may increase by understanding the physiopathology of the involved pathways.

Comparison of Different Sampling Methods to Catch Lymphatic Filariasis Vectors in a Sudan Savannah Area of Mali
ABSTRACT. There is a need for better tools to monitor the transmission of lymphatic filariasis and malaria in areas undergoing interventions to interrupt transmission. Therefore, mosquito collection methods other than human landing catch (HLC) are needed. This study aimed to compare the Ifakara tent trap type C (ITTC) and the Biogents sentinel trap (BGST) to the HLC in areas with different vector densities. Mosquitoes were collected in two villages in Mali from July to December in 2011 and 2012. The three methods were implemented at each site with one ITTC, one BGST, and one HLC unit that consisted of one room with two collectors—one indoor and the other outdoor. The Anopheles collected in 2011 were individually dissected, whereas those from 2012 were screened in pools using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to determine the maximum infection prevalence likelihood (MIPL) for Wuchereria bancrofti and Plasmodium falciparum. The dissection of the females also allowed to assess the parity rates, as well its results. Over the 2 years, the HLC method collected 1,019 Anopheles, yields that were 34- and 1.5-fold higher than those with the BGST and ITTC, respectively. None of the dissected Anopheles were infected. The RT-PCR results showed comparable MIPL between HLC and ITTC for W. bancrofti with one infected pool from each trap’s yield (respectively 0.03% [0.0009–0.2%] and 0.04% [0.001–0.2%]). For P. falciparum, no infected pool was recovered from BGST. The ITTC is a good alternative to HLC for xenomonitoring of program activities.

Received Probability of Orbital-Angular-Momentum Modes Carried by Diffraction- and Attenuation- Resistant Beams in Weak Turbulent Oceans
High performance underwater wireless optical communication systems are the key to the construction of high quality underwater optical communication networks. However, seawater absorption and seawater turbulent diffraction should be the main factors limiting the performance of underwater optical communication systems. For this reason, we established the probability model of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode received by the communication system to study the influence of the absorbable turbulent seawater channel on the underwater optical communication system with an anti-diffraction and anti-attenuation random (DARR) beam as the signal carrier. In the study, the DARR beam with a large truncated Gaussian aperture was adopted as the signal carrier, seawater absorption was characterized by the complex refractive index of seawater, and seawater turbulence was described by the power spectrum of the refractive index of seawater. By analyzing the relationship between the received probability of the OAM mode of DARR beams and the dissipation rate of kinetic energy per unit of mass of fluid, the ratio of temperature and salinity, dissipation rate of the mean-squared temperature, and other parameters, we show that one can select longer wavelength, smaller OAM quantum number and smaller received diameter to increase the received probability of OAM signal modes. The disturbance of turbulent seawater to the OAM modes with different quantum numbers carried by the DARR beam is less than the corresponding OAM modes carried by the Laguerre–Gaussian beam. Our paper shows that the DARR beam can mitigate the absorption and disturbance of turbulent seawater.

Recent Advances in Metallic Nanoparticle Assemblies for Surface-Enhanced Spectroscopy
Robust and versatile strategies for the development of functional nanostructured materials often focus on assemblies of metallic nanoparticles. Research interest in such assemblies arises due to their potential applications in the fields of photonics and sensing. Metallic nanoparticles have received considerable recent attention due to their connection to the widely studied phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance. For instance, plasmonic hot spots can be observed within their assemblies. A useful form of spectroscopy is based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This phenomenon is a commonly used in sensing techniques, and it works using the principle that scattered inelastic light can be greatly enhanced at a surface. However, further research is required to enable improvements to the SERS techniques. For example, one question that remains open is how to design uniform, highly reproducible, and efficiently enhancing substrates of metallic nanoparticles with high structural precision. In this review, a general overview on nanoparticle functionalization and the impact on nanoparticle assembly is provided, alongside an examination of their applications in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

t10,c12-CLA decreases adiposity in peripubertal mice without dose-related detrimental effects on mammary development, inflammation status, and metabolism
The trans 10, cis 12-conjugated linoleic acid (10,12-CLA) isomer reduces adiposity in several animal models. In the mouse, however, this effect is associated with adipose tissue inflammation, hyperinsulinemia and hepatic lipid accumulation. Moreover, 10,12-CLA was recently shown to promote mammary ductal hyperplasia and ErbB2/Her2-driven mammary cancer in the mouse. Reasons for detrimental effects of 10,12-CLA on the mouse mammary gland could relate to its effect on the mammary fat pad (MFP), which is essential for normal development. Accordingly, we hypothesized that mammary effects of 10,12-CLA were mediated through the MFP in a dose-dependent manner. Female FVB mice were fed 10,12-CLA at doses of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, or 0.5% of the diet from day 24 of age, and effects on mammary development and metabolism were measured on day 49. The 0.5% dose reduced ductal elongation and caused premature alveolar budding. These effects were associated with increased expression of inflammatory markers and genes shown to alter epithelial growth (IGF binding protein-5) and alveolar budding (TNF-α and receptor of activated NF-κB ligand). The 0.5% dose also caused hyperinsulinemia and hepatic lipid accumulation. In contrast, the 0.1% 10,12-CLA dose had no adverse effects on mammary development, metabolic events, and inflammatory responses, but remained effective in decreasing adipose weights and lipogenic gene expression. These results show that a low dose of 10,12 -CLA reduces adiposity in the mouse without negative effects on mammary development, inflammation, and metabolism, and suggest that previously reported detrimental effects relate to the use of excessive doses.

Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Pancreatic Beta-Cell Glucose Sensitivity
Abstract Context Pancreatic beta-cell glucose sensitivity is the slope of the plasma glucose-insulin secretion relationship and is a key predictor of deteriorating glucose tolerance and development of type 2 diabetes. However, there are no large-scale studies looking at the genetic determinants of beta-cell glucose sensitivity. Objective To understand the genetic determinants of pancreatic beta-cell glucose sensitivity using genome-wide meta-analysis and candidate gene studies. Design We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis for beta-cell glucose sensitivity in subjects with type 2 diabetes and nondiabetic subjects from 6 independent cohorts (n = 5706). Beta-cell glucose sensitivity was calculated from mixed meal and oral glucose tolerance tests, and its associations between known glycemia-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genome-wide association study (GWAS) SNPs were estimated using linear regression models. Results Beta-cell glucose sensitivity was moderately heritable (h2 ranged from 34% to 55%) using SNP and family-based analyses. GWAS meta-analysis identified multiple correlated SNPs in the CDKAL1 gene and GIPR-QPCTL gene loci that reached genome-wide significance, with SNP rs2238691 in GIPR-QPCTL (P value = 2.64 × 10−9) and rs9368219 in the CDKAL1 (P value = 3.15 × 10−9) showing the strongest association with beta-cell glucose sensitivity. These loci surpassed genome-wide significance when the GWAS meta-analysis was repeated after exclusion of the diabetic subjects. After correction for multiple testing, glycemia-associated SNPs in or near the HHEX and IGF2B2 loci were also associated with beta-cell glucose sensitivity. Conclusion We show that, variation at the GIPR-QPCTL and CDKAL1 loci are key determinants of pancreatic beta-cell glucose sensitivity.

Potential for Early Noninvasive COVID-19 Detection Using Electronic-Nose Technologies and Disease-Specific VOC Metabolic Biomarkers
The established efficacy of electronic volatile organic compound (VOC) detection technologies as diagnostic tools for noninvasive early detection of COVID-19 and related coronaviruses has been demonstrated from multiple studies using a variety of experimental and commercial electronic devices capable of detecting precise mixtures of VOC emissions in human breath. The activities of numerous global research teams, developing novel electronic-nose (e-nose) devices and diagnostic methods, have generated empirical laboratory and clinical trial test results based on the detection of different types of host VOC-biomarker metabolites from specific chemical classes. COVID-19-specific volatile biomarkers are derived from disease-induced changes in host metabolic pathways by SARS-CoV-2 viral pathogenesis. The unique mechanisms proposed from recent researchers to explain how COVID-19 causes damage to multiple organ systems throughout the body are associated with unique symptom combinations, cytokine storms and physiological cascades that disrupt normal biochemical processes through gene dysregulation to generate disease-specific VOC metabolites targeted for e-nose detection. This paper reviewed recent methods and applications of e-nose and related VOC-detection devices for early, noninvasive diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections. In addition, metabolomic (quantitative) COVID-19 disease-specific chemical biomarkers, consisting of host-derived VOCs identified from exhaled breath of patients, were summarized as possible sources of volatile metabolic biomarkers useful for confirming and supporting e-nose diagnoses.

Exclus ou citoyens ? Les pauvres devant les sciences sociales
A logic of exclusion-inclusion nowadays dominates the debate on poverty and social policies, namely through categories such as underclass and social exclusion. Thus, poverty becomes an essentially moral problem, rather than political, and the poor are treated as a group apart. Though different, both concepts work to reinforce the fracture separating the poor, and increasing a process of erosion of citizenship ties—what Madeleine Rébérioux denounces as being today a crisis not only of work, but of political and civic ties as well.

A Flexible Localization Method of Multi-Constrained Free-Form Surface Based on the Profile Curves
The precision forming process is currently used for many difficult-to-cut parts such as aero-engine blades. However, satisfying the tolerance requirement of the forming accuracy is difficult. Thus, precision machining is used to ensure final accuracy of the part. The error of the near-net shape caused by the thermal process cannot be ignored in the machining process. If the cutting tool path is generated in terms of the design blade model, it would be too difficult to satisfy the material allowance and tolerance requirement of the design blade. In this paper, we propose a new flexible localization method to reconstruct a to-be-cut surface which improves the qualification rate. In this method, the tolerance and material allowance requirements are transformed into optimization constraints. Furthermore, the profile curves of the to-be-reconstructed blade surface are converted into the optimization variables. The material allowance distribution of the to-be-reconstructed surface needs to be as uniform as possible. Through this optimization, the profile curves of the blade surface at the specified height are obtained and used to evaluate the to-be-cut blade model. Finally, a typical compressor blade model is used to verify the proposed method. The results show that the approach can meet the tolerance requirements and ensure sufficient material allowance for the near-net shape blades.

OPTIMAL BURN-IN PROCEDURES IN A GENERALIZED ENVIRONMENT
Burn-in procedure is a manufacturing technique that is intended to eliminate early failures. In the literature, assuming that the failure rate function of the products has a bathtub shape the properties on optimal burn-in have been investigated. In this paper burn-in problem is studied under a more general assumption on the shape of the failure rate function of the products which includes the traditional bathtub shaped failure rate function as a special case. An upper bound for the optimal burn-in time is presented under the assumption of eventually increasing failure rate function. Furthermore, it is also shown that a nontrivial lower bound for the optimal burn-in time can be derived if the underlying lifetime distribution has a large initial failure rate.
