Diversificación Forestal, perspectivas socioeconómicas y ambientales para la realidad chilena.
Authors: Löewe Muñoz Verónica , Lisoni Cornejo Sergio
Published: December 2024

A pesar del éxito de la industria forestal chilena, en términos económicos y tecnológicos, se identifica una alta concentración de especies, regiones productoras y grandes empresas, lo que limita los beneficios sociales y genera conflictos ambientales. Además, los bosques nativos enfrentan degradación por prácticas históricas extractivas y falta de manejo sustentable. En este contexto, el artículo aborda la diversificación forestal en Chile, analizando sus implicancias socioeconómicas, ambientales y productivas, proponiéndola como una solución estratégica, que promueva el cultivo de especies no tradicionales y modelos productivos innovadores como la agroforestería y la arboricultura. Estas prácticas pueden mejorar la sostenibilidad, fomentar la equidad social e impulsar el desarrollo rural. Concluye que el enfoque multipropósito de diversificación puede equilibrar los intereses productivos, ecológicos y sociales, fomentando un desarrollo forestal más inclusivo y sostenible en Chile.

Published: December 2024

Food-borne diseases are a global concern, exacerbated by unchecked urbanization and population growth. They have a significant impact on public health and economy. Brazil, known for its vibrant mass events, such as the Rock in Rio festival, presents a unique challenge concerning food safety. This study focused on the microbiological assessment of ready-to-eat foods at the 2022 9th Rock in Rio mass event. Over the seven event days, 102 ready-to-eat food samples from the 30 vendors at the festival were collected. The foods were assessed according to the Brazilian Resolution No. 724/2022 and Normative Instruction No. 161/2022. Microbiological analysis revealed ten (9.80%) samples were unsatisfactory and three (2.94%) had intermediate safety. Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus were among the predominant microorganisms identified. Although no foodborne disease outbreaks were associated with the Rock in Rio event, the attributed establishments incurred appropriate penalties in line with health regulations. The findings emphasize the risk associated with mass event food service practices. Overall, this study highlights the critical role of Health Surveillance in proactively ensuring public health during mass events and underscores the significance of disseminating these findings for improving future control measures in similar settings.
Time for a reparations programme for those bereaved during the Troubles?
Authors: Moffett Luke
Published: December 2024

Compensation schemes for criminal injuries have been practised in numerous countries for over 60 years. Northern Ireland in 1968 introduced a criminal injury compensation scheme to ensure that victims were not left with the burden of the harm and loss caused by criminal acts. However, with the onset of the ‘Troubles’ in 1969 and the deaths of thousands of people, the scheme was inadequate in responding to protracted violence that left many people unemployed or with multiple casualties in their family. This article outlines some of the findings of archival research on compensation claims during the height of the Troubles. It argues that basing the compensation scheme on income and dependence of a deceased loved one caused arbitrary amounts being paid to those killed in the same incident or in the same family. It also had sharp gender dimensions that discriminated against women and girls as both claimants and for their loved ones when they were killed. This article suggests that, to redress the inadequacies of the compensation scheme during the Troubles for those who were killed, a bereavement payment scheme needs to be established and it outlines some considerations on who would be eligible.

Authors: González Morales Felipe , Lougarre Claire , Craig Sarah , Angeleri Stefano
Published: December 2024

On 16 May 2023, the launch of Dr Stefano Angeleri’s book, Irregular Migrants and the Right to Health, in which we all participated, developed into an enriching discussion on the need to challenge a restrictive and selective human rights approach to the health of migrant populations. On that occasion, we came up with the idea of drafting a short ‘author-meets-readers’ piece which is a format that allows a more dynamic engagement than a book review, helping to demonstrate not just the quality of a book being published but also the different responses to it and how they prompt ideas for future research. Therefore, the structure of this review is as follows: the first three sections feature critical feedback on the book’s topical issues from Professor Felipe González Morales, Dr Claire Lougarre and Dr Sarah Craig respectively. In the fourth section, Dr Angeleri provides a brief engagement with these perspectives.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The primary aim of our study is to compare job stress, burnout and anger management in surgical (in operating room) and internal medicine residents, and the secondary aim is to evaluate whether there is a relationship between burnout, anger management and job stress. Method: Following ethics committee approval, surgical and internal medicine residents were asked to fill out an online survey regarding job stress, burnout scale, and anger management. While the Copenhagen burnout inventory is defined in three dimensions: personal burnout, work-related burnout and patient-related burnout, the anger questionnaire consists of 4 parts: anger-inside, anger-outside, anger management and trait anger. Results: The burnout level according to the cutoff value for a total of 139 residents (surgery, n=74 and internal medicine, n=65) was 73%, and a higher prevalence was observed in surgical residents (77%) than in internal medicine residents (68%) (p=0 .01). It was determined that total and work-related burnout, trait anger and job stress scales were significantly higher in the surgical group. When burnout was evaluated in all residents, it showed a strong correlation with the job stress scale and a moderate correlation with anger. The job stress scale also showed moderate correlation with anger. Job stress (p=0.019) and personal burnout (0.002) were found to be higher in women, especially surgical residents, than in men.Conclusion: Our study showed that burnout, job stress, and trait anger were higher in surgical residents than in internal medicine residents, and burnout had a strong correlation with job stress and a moderate correlation with anger. Key Words: Residents, Surgery; burnout; job stress; anger

As the global energy landscape evolves, these strategies offer a roadmap for navigating uncertainties and fostering resilience across energy supply networks.
Retroperitoneal mass presenting as stress urinary incontinence: A rare case presentation
Authors: Nilsen Nichole , Fraiman Aviv , A Leach Douglas
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The management of urologic injuries at the time of midurethral sling placement is well described but lacks specific guidance on when further anatomic investigation may be warranted. We present a rare case of an upper urinary tract problem and retroperitoneal mass causing lower urinary tract symptoms, specifically severe stress urinary incontinence.

Case Report: A 54-year-old female with stress urinary incontinence underwent attempted retropubic midurethral sling placement that was abandoned after repeated urinary tract injury at time of placement. A computed tomography (CT) urogram that was completed after repair of the injury identified a large retroperitoneal mass encasing the right kidney and ureter. Subsequent resection of this mass resulted in immediate resolution of the patient’s stress urinary incontinence.

Conclusion: Though urologic injuries at time of midurethral sling placement can be due to anatomic variation, further investigation is not often pursued. In the absence of relevant guidelines, clinically significant anatomic abnormalities may often be missed and left unaddressed. Though we present a rare case of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) that resolved after large mass resection, there are several risk factors present in this case that may inform clinicians when to pursue further evaluation and management.

Human performance in identifying masked face
Authors: Sezgin Nurdan
Published: December 2024

Humans who spend most of their time looking at faces throughout their lives can be quite successful in facial recognition. When faces are partially covered by medical masks, glasses and accessories, this identification success may decrease. The purpose of this study is to determine how successfully people who witnessed the events can identify faces that are mostly covered by medical masks in the event that a crime is committed. The study referred to 195 participants and used 40 facial images (20 masked, 20 unmasked). The obtained data was statistically analyzed using SPSS 20.0, including frequency analysis, regression analysis, and ANOVA. While there was no substantial difference in identification performance across sexes, age had an impact on identification. However, participants identified medical masked faces more accurately than unmasked ones.

Climate-induced migration: Global legal implications and human rights challenges
Authors: Precious Oluwaseun Okedele  , Onoriode Reginald Aziza  , Portia Oduro  , Akinwale Omowumi Ishola
Published: December 2024

Climate-induced migration is an escalating phenomenon influenced by environmental changes, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, desertification, and droughts, which displace millions worldwide. This article examines the complex global legal implications and human rights challenges associated with climate-induced migration. Despite increasing recognition of the issue, there remains a lack of international legal frameworks specifically addressing the rights and protections of climate migrants. This deficiency leaves migrants vulnerable to human rights violations and, in many cases, without adequate legal status in host countries. The study explores how existing frameworks, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, fall short in addressing the unique circumstances of climate migrants, who often do not meet the traditional criteria of refugees. Through case studies, the article assesses the impact of climate-induced migration on affected populations and the response of regional and international organizations. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive legal response to ensure the protection, rights, and dignity of climate migrants, alongside proactive strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Finally, the article recommends developing new legal instruments or adapting current frameworks to accommodate this emerging category of migrants, balancing national sovereignty concerns with global human rights commitments.

Times Tables Rock Stars has become a popular digital intervention used in schools across the world. Through a mobile phone and tablet app schools can set homework and competitions in their school to encourage children to practise their times tables both during and outside of school. The app uses colourful characters and gamified incentives, such as the opportunity to earn coins, to engage pupils and keep them motivated in their times tables practice. In England, Times Tables Rock Stars is marketed to primary schools in the context of the now statutory multiplication tables check (MTC) for pupils at the end of year four. Schools who sign up are able to access specific support in relation to the MTC, including a game within the app which mirrors the format of the MTC test. However, as yet there have not been any formal research studies exploring the effectiveness of Times Tables Rock Stars. Therefore, the following critique explores other research into similar digital interventions to start to address the question of whether Times Tables Rock Stars could be a useful intervention for increasing pupils’ multiplication tables fluency.

Ghosts within the educational machine: Are hidden young carers going with their needs unmet?
Authors: Iacomelli Luisa , Sargeant Cora
Published: December 2024

Supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health is a top priority for the Department of Education (DfE). Young carers (YCs) are a particularly vulnerable group in the community who are at increased risk of poor emotional wellbeing and absenteeism (Becker & Sempik, 2019; Kaiser & Schulze, 2015; Robison et al., 2020). In the UK, there is a statutory duty to identify these children, assess their needs and appropriately support them (DfE, 2014; Pickup, 2021). Several factors make it increasingly difficult to recognise YCs; these children are hidden, akin to ‘ghosts’ in the education system, with needs that become magnified by their invisibility. Research in the field highlights that intervention could be similarly effective for YCs and for children experiencing Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA), with successful intervention focusing on providing emotional support, tailored support plans, building trusting adult relationships and a sense of belonging at school (Chian, 2022; Seddon, 2024; Woolfson et al., 2006). Several implications are explored, and various recommendations are made for educational psychologists’ involvement, such as working on both a systemic and individual level to advocate for the YC. Gaining the voice of YCs is crucial to knowing how best to support them, and subsequently evoking change within educational policy.
Systematic review: Correlates of depression in adults with an intellectual disability: A systematic review of quantitative studies
Authors: Kerry Emily
Published: December 2024

Objectives:Individuals living with an intellectual disability are at a greater risk of experiencing depression when compared to the general population, with rates of up to 39% having been reported. Examining factors associated with symptoms of depression in this clinical group may help us to better understand the higher prevalence as well as identify targets for prevention and management. The current systematic review investigated factors that have been examined in the literature related to self-reported symptoms of depression in adults with intellectual disabilities.

Method:The current review was conducted in line with PRISMA standards. A systematic search of four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsychInfo and Cochrane Library) was conducted in October 2023. Search terms relating to correlates (e.g. association, correlation and/or regression) of depression in people with intellectual disabilities formed the search strategy. Quality appraisal was conducted using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Results are narratively synthesised.

Results:The search identified 6238 unique articles. After screening, seventeen papers were eligible. Factors associated with depression were synthesised into seven categories: psychological (cognitions, anxiety, hopelessness and, self-esteem), social (social support, relational, and social disadvantage), environmental (unique life events and negative life events), health-related (poor health), behavioural (challenging behaviour and reassurance seeking), treatment-related (pharmaceutical medication and attendance to therapy), and demographic factors (age, gender and IQ). Categories were ordered based on the number of relevant findings. Ten different patient report outcome measures of depression were used, only two of which were developed specifically for use with populations with intellectual disability.

Conclusion:Overall, research has tended to focus more on psychological and social risk factors of depression in this clinical group, when compared to environmental, health-related, behavioural, treatment-related, and demographic factors. The variety of self-report depression measures utilised suggests that there is not a clear consensus on measures of depressive symptoms in populations with intellectual disability. Findings have implications for research and clinical practice.
Systematic review: Exploring the experiences of caring for a family member with intellectual disabilities displaying behaviours that challenge and/or mental health difficulties: A meta-ethnography review
Authors: Yates Lucy
Published: December 2024

Background:Individuals with intellectual disabilities experiencing mental health difficulties and/ or behaviours that challenge are a unique population due to the complexity of difficulties and care needs. Little is known about the experiences of family members caring for these individuals, particularly following Transforming Care, and forms the focus of this review.

Method:Five electronic databases (APA PsychInfo, Web of Science, PubMed, MedLine, and CINAHL) were systematically searched, resulting in 14 qualitative studies being included in the meta-ethnography. Family carers were informal carers of individuals with intellectual disabilities, with papers focussing on their experiences of their family members behaviours that challenge and/or mental health. The review included literature dated from 2012 onwards, conducted within the UK. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Checklist was used to quality assess the included papers.

Findings:Three key themes and a line-of argument were developed: (i) Carers Wear Many Hats; (ii) Square Services, Round Needs; (iii) A Journey of Many Lows and Some Highs. Carers spoke of the psychosocial strains arising from the multi-faceted caregiving roles, including advocacy and educational. Services could be more burdensome than helpful, with carers navigating and battling complex systems to obtain support. This contributed to carers feeling powerless and isolated, though there were reports of good practice too. Carers highlighted the significant impacts on their wellbeing and quality of life, alongside some gaining positive experiences.

Conclusions:Overall, despite the development of services following Transforming Care, family carers spoke of unhelpful experience of care services. The findings highlight the importance of involving carers in decision-making, providing carer-specific support, and increased person-centred and contextually-tailored care. Enhanced partnership and signposting between services would be beneficial, alongside a key point of contact. Providing staff training, including around the implementation of reasonable adjustments, would help make services more accessible and reduce the burden on family carers.
Residential Care Staff’s Experiences of Supporting Adults with a Learning Disability Who Are Impacted by Trauma
Authors: Sydney Katie
Published: December 2024

Background:People with a learning disability are disproportionately affected by trauma. Despite this, there is a relative paucity of research focused on how they can be best supported.

Aim:The aim of the present research was to explore how care/support workers in residential care settings respond to and support people with a learning disability who are impacted by trauma.

Method:12 residential care/support workers recruited through purposive sampling participated in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of supporting adults with a learning disability who were impacted by trauma.

Results:Using Reflexive Thematic Analysis, five themes and nine subthemes were generated. The five themes were: Grappling with the meaning of trauma; Negotiating relationships as a means to helping; The emotional weight of the work; Space to think is essential and Navigating a dysfunctional and harmful system.

Conclusion:Care/support workers play a vital role in supporting people with a learning disability who are impacted by trauma. A number of recommendations can be made based on the findings of this research in order to improve care for people with a learning disability who are impacted by trauma within residential services, as well as support for staff working in them.
