TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions that promote the request, offer, and occurrence of mediation between enduring rivals are analyzed, and the results of the analysis point to a disconnect among enduring rivalries between the factors that the literature highlights as promoting mediation success and those that promote mediation onset.
Abstract: In this article, I analyze the conditions that promote the request, offer, and occurrence of mediation between enduring rivals. Although the mediation literature has devoted considerable attention to the form that mediation takes, the approaches that mediators use, and the conditions under which it is successful, little attention has been given to the conditions under which mediation is most likely to occur. The results of the analysis point to a disconnect among enduring rivalries between the factors that the literature highlights as promoting mediation success and those that promote the onset of mediation. This disconnect is particularly apparent in the conditions that prompt third-parties to offer mediation.

TL;DR: Microbiomes of urine and swabs were remarkably similar, regardless of STI status of the subjects, suggesting urine can be used to characterize urethral microbiomes when swabs are undesirable, such as in population-based studies of the urethra or where multiple sampling of participants is required.
Abstract: Urine is the CDC-recommended specimen for STI testing. It was unknown if the bacterial communities (microbiomes) in urine reflected those in the distal male urethra. We compared microbiomes of 32 paired urine and urethral swab specimens obtained from adult men attending an STD clinic, by 16S rRNA PCR and deep pyrosequencing. Microbiomes of urine and swabs were remarkably similar, regardless of STI status of the subjects. Thus, urine can be used to characterize urethral microbiomes when swabs are undesirable, such as in population-based studies of the urethral microbiome or where multiple sampling of participants is required.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a Layers of Workplace Influence theory to guide their study of whistleblowing among public accounting audit seniors, examining professional commitment, organizational commitment versus colleague commitment, and moral intensity of the unethical behavior on two measures of reporting intentions.
Abstract: We employ a Layers of Workplace Influence theory to guide our study of whistleblowing among public accounting audit seniors. Specifically, we examine professional commitment, organizational commitment versus colleague commitment (locus of commitment), and moral intensity of the unethical behavior on two measures of reporting intentions: likelihood of reporting and perseverance in reporting. We find that moral intensity relates to both reporting intention measures. In addition, while high levels of professional identity increase the likelihood that an auditor will initially report an observed violation, the auditor’s commitment to the organization drives perseverance in reporting. Results may assist organizations and researchers in their understanding of antecedents to whistleblowing as a form of corporate governance and of the effect of these antecedents on whistleblowing perseverance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used spontaneously active neuronal networks derived from dissociated embryonic murine spinal cord and auditory cortex and grown on substrate-integrated thin-film microelectrodes to determine characteristic responses to the cannabinoid agonists anandamide and methanandamide (MA) reversibly inhibited spike and burst production in both tissue types.

TL;DR: Etoricoxib was comparable in efficacy to indomethacin at a dosage of 50 mg 3 times daily, and it was generally safe and well tolerated.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of etoricoxib and indomethacin in the treatment of patients with acute gout. Methods A randomized, double-blind, active-comparator study was conducted at 42 sites. A total of 189 men and women (≥18 years of age) who were experiencing an acute attack (≤48 hours) of clinically diagnosed gout were treated for 8 days with etoricoxib, 120 mg/day (n = 103), or indomethacin, 50 mg 3 times a day (n = 86). The primary efficacy end point was the patient's assessment of pain in the study joint (0–4-point Likert scale) over days 2–5. Safety was assessed by adverse experiences (AEs) occurring during the trial. Results Etoricoxib demonstrated clinical efficacy comparable to that of indomethacin in terms of the patient's assessment of pain in the study joint. The difference in the mean change from baseline over days 2–5 was –0.08 (95% confidence interval –0.29, 0.13) (P = 0.46), which fell within the prespecified comparability bounds of –0.5 to 0.5. Secondary end points over the 8-day study, including the onset of efficacy, reduction in signs of inflammation, and patient's and investigator's global assessments of response to therapy, confirmed the comparable efficacy of the two treatments. The etoricoxib-treated patients had a numerically lower incidence of AEs (43.7%) than did the indomethacin-treated patients (57.0%) and a significantly lower incidence of drug-related AEs (16.5% versus 37.2%; P < 0.05). Conclusion Etoricoxib at a dosage of 120 mg once daily was confirmed to be an effective treatment for acute gout. Etoricoxib was comparable in efficacy to indomethacin at a dosage of 50 mg 3 times daily, and it was generally safe and well tolerated.
