The Challenges of Collecting Digital Evidence Across Borders
Authors: Antoliš Krunoslav
Published: October 2023

In the modern world, the use of ICT communication technologies has become an integral part of life. ICT infrastructure is the bearer of digital traces of both legal and illegal activities performed through it. However, for something to become digital evidence, it must be obtained by law and by a person authorised by law. Namely, the virtual infrastructure, especially the Internet and the new challenges brought to us by cloud architectue due to its physical positioning outside national borders, calls into question the legality of searching and collecting digital evidence outside national borders. This paper analyses the legal basis for collecting digital evidence in cyberspace internationally, such as the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, the US Cloud Act, the Australian Decryption Act and the European GDPR. Although the Court of Justice of the European Union declared invalid the decision of the European Commission (EU) 2016/1250 on the adequacy of data protection provided through the EU-US Privacy Shield, experts must not stop looking for a solution to the apparent problem. The paper intends to support decision-makers in taking clear national positions regarding the above controversial legal norms and their mutual conflict. The paper compares the legal consequences of such collection, and the acceptability of such digital evidence, and such collection may also be associated with a breach of the privacy of a legal and private entity.

MAGNETIC FIELD CONTROL IN AN ANALYTIC PLATFORM FOR ASSESSMENT OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA
Authors: DOBRE ALIN-ALEXANDRU , ILIE-SANDOIU ALINA-MONICA , MOREGA ALEXANDRU-MIHAIL , GHEORGHIU EUGEN
Published: October 2023

The paper presents a conceptual, analytical platform with various pathogen detection applications, based on a hybrid magnetic field source, comprised of permanent magnets and solenoid coils fixed on the same magnetic yoke that acts as a magnetic flux concentrator. The magnetic field creates magnetization forces that guide functionalized paramagnetic microparticles through the volume of an analyte sample, in order to capture targeted pathogens. The presence of bacteria is sensed with an additional electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) module attached to the system, at high-frequency electrical fields. The magnetic field control is studied using mathematical modeling and numerical simulation in several geometry setups, coil excitation, and remanent flux density values.

PERAN GURU BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING TERHADAP PERILAKU BELAJAR SISWA KELAS IX SMP NEGERI 1 SIDOHARJO
Authors: Halleyda Nuriah , Anggraini Murdiasih
Published: October 2023

Guidance and counseling is a school component that provides counseling services to students. One of the duties of the guidance and counseling teacher/counselor is to help develop students' potentials in a positive direction, including having good study habits. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the guidance and counseling teacher's role on the learning behavior of class IX students at SMP Negeri 1 Sidoharjo. The method used is quantitative with a correlation approach. From the simple linear regression statistical test with SPSS which was carried out, the result was that the correlation value (R) was 0.129. From this output, the coefficient of determination (R square) is 0.17, which implies that the effect of the independent variable (the role of the guidance and counseling teacher) on the dependent variable (learning behavior) is 1.7%, the calculated F value = 2.227, with a significance level of > 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is no influence of the role of the counseling teacher on student learning behavior. Thus, the first hypothesis in this study can be rejected.

Authors: Wulandari Arum
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the scientific argumentation profile of students with the socio-scientific issue (SSI) approach in physics learning. This qualitative descriptive research uses the SSI approach. Data collection used interviews, observation, reflection, and Padlet-assisted learning techniques. The results showed that learning physics with the Padlet-assisted SSI approach could improve scientific argumentation skills. The results of the teacher's interviews, observations, and reflections show that the challenges of Padlet learning are the depth of the material and time constraints. Further, SSI research can be developed in other subjects with the principles of developing students' character and soft skills.
Electrical Resistance Sintering: A Promising Tool To Process Cocrmo Alloy Samples With Exceptional Mechanical Properties
Authors: García de la Cruz Lucía , Lagos Miguel , Alvaredo Paula , Torralba José Manuel , Campos Mónica
Published: October 2023

Electrical resistance sintering (ERS) is an ultrafast sintering process that uses high current densities and pressure to consolidate samples in a few seconds. These conditions enable the consolidation of powder partially retaining its original characteristics. Such characteristics can be modified by low energy mechanical milling, deforming superficially the powder while retaining its spherical shape. CoCrMo alloy is widely used for biomedical applications and requires a good combination of strength and ductility, which can be achieved with customized microstructure that features the proper phase distribution and grain size. This research investigates the use of ERS as a promising tool to fabricate CoCrMo samples from powder processed at different milling times, for exceptional mechanical properties. Microstructures are studied by means of SEM/EBSD and XRD and mechanical properties evaluated in terms of hardness.

Die Debatte um den richtigen Umgang mit zivilem Klimaschutzungehorsam von Klima-Aktivistinnen und Klima-Aktivisten bleibt im Fluss. Sichtweisen, die auf Basta-Legalismus („Recht muss Recht bleiben“) hinauslaufen, verstellen den Blick auf die strafverfassungsrechtlichen Implikationen, die mit der Verfolgung organisierten Klimaprotests als organisierter Kriminalität durch Vereinigungen einhergehen. Der robusten Strafverfolgung organisierten Klimaprotests wegen Gründung oder Beteiligung an einer kriminellen Vereinigung stehen in der Demokratietheorie wurzelnde Bedenken entgegen. Sie haben auf Ebene der Verhältnismäßigkeit staatlicher Reaktionen bislang noch keine ausreichende Beachtung gefunden.

Authors: Jumiarti Jumiarti , Addinia Nur Muslimah  , Alfa Reza Antafani  , Ery Budi
Published: October 2023

Speech intelligibility is an important factor in verbal communication. Children with intellectual disabilities with intellectual disabilities will face difficulties in communicating due to reduced speech intelligibility. This condition will affect social skills, mental mental state, and academics. Articulatory misplacement is one of the factor that makes difficulties in articulation accuracy.  Method: Using a single subject experiment, with a one group pretest-posttest design.  The participant was a 7-year-old girl with articulation disorder /m/ in the initial position of the word and had never received speech therapy. Data collection was conducted through interviews with the client's parents, direct observation of the client, tests, and document studies. Speech therapy was conducted for 10 sessions with an emphasis on bilabial phonetic placement exercises. Perceptual assessment by comparing the ability to produce /m/ in the initial position of the word before and after therapy. Results: In the evaluation assessment, there has been no improvement in the client's ability to produce /m/ in the initial position of the word. Conclusion: The use of the phonetic placement method to improve the ability to produce /m/ in the initial position of words has not been effective for children with intellectual disabilities in this case. Suggestion: It may be possible to increase the frequency of therapy to see more significant improvement, and adjust the therapy materials.

Published: October 2023

Proper management of nitrogenous fertilizers is of paramount importance for economical crop production and sustainable soil-water-atmosphere ecosystem. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of different nitrogen fertigation levels on cauliflower crop through drip irrigation. The nitrogen fertilizer (urea) was applied in 35 equal doses with irrigation water applied at alternate day through drip irrigation system. Soil moisture in the soil profile of different treatments was recorded at fortnight interval. The observed moisture content tended to decrease with increase in radial distance from the drip lateral at all soil depths. The soil moisture tended to decrease with increase in soil depth at all radial distances, throughout the soil profile, during whole crop period, in all the treatments. The cauliflower yield with N-fertigation of 90 kg ha-1 (75% of Recommended dose of N), 120 kg ha-1 (100% RDN) and 150 kg ha-1 (125% RDN) was found to be 221 q ha-1, 231 q ha-1 and 234 q ha-1 respectively. The water use efficiency (WUE) was calculated to be 80.7 kg m-3, 84.2 kg m-3 and 85.4 kg m-3 under 75% RDN, 100% RDN and 125 % RDN respectively. The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was found to be 245.6 kg kg-1, 192.2 kg kg-1 and 156 kg kg-1 under 75% RDN, 100% RDN and 125% RDN respectively. The increased N-fertigation level did not improve the cauliflower yield and WUE much but reduced the NUE to a great extent.
Relation between cultural dimensions and their impact on preference of conflict styles
Authors:   Wyższa Szkoła Ekonomii i Informatyki w Krakowie, Rachwał -Mueller Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

This paper proposes a broad perspective for studying the influence of cultural dimensions and their influence on the process of choosing conflict management styles Definition of both culture and that of conflict are presented. Analytical review of research on the conflict styles and their relation with dimensions of culture are presented in this article. Within the paper following cultural dimensions are considered in the context of conflict management styles: individualism and collectivism, high and low power distance as well as high and low uncertainty avoidance. All models of cultural dimensions are considered within the cultural dimensions framework of Hofstede (1981). In case of individualism there is preference for an avoiding style of conflict management and in collectivist cultures typical choice is that of compromising and obliging conflict style. In case of high power distance avoiding conflict style is likely to be chosen by members of High Power cultures. Few studies cover the problem of power distance and conflict style preference, however, we may assume that the individual will chose conflict style that allows him to maintain either low or high power distance typical for his own culture. Finally the paper shows connection of low uncertainty avoidance and the choice of collaborative and compromising conflict styles. The implications of conflict resolution styles across cultures for the future research and implementation in organizations as well as in international relations are discussed.
Development of reference material 8103 :
Authors: Koepke Amanda A , Splett Jolene D
Published: October 2023

A new Reference Material (RM), designated RM 8013, has been developed for the temperature and enthalpy calibration of differential scanning calorimeters (DSCs). The addition of this new RM expands the applicable range of NIST’s DSC-related calibration standards to include sub-ambient temperatures and represents an attractive alternative to the previous option, Standard Reference Material® (SRM®) 2225, which was discontinued in 2017. RM 8103 was sourced from a single lot of high-purity ( 99%) adamantane. The transition temperature of RM 8103 has been determined to be equal to (-64.58 ± 0.20) °C, while the enthalpy of transition has been determined to be equal to (21.64 ± 0.34) J·g-1. Both values were determined via DSC measurements using an instrument calibrated with certified reference materials obtained from two different national metrology institutes. This document provides all relevant measurement and analysis details for the development of RM 8103.

Peran Guru Pendidikan Pancasila Dan Kewarganegaraan Dalam Meningkatkan Disiplin Belajar Peserta Didik Di SMK Letris Indonesia 1 Tangerang Selatan
Authors: Siona Putri , Rustandi Roni
Published: October 2023

Learning discipline is very important for students to achieve achievement. Therefore, the role of the teacher is needed in achieving it. The purpose of this research is to find out how the role of Pancasila and Citizenship Education teachers plays in increasing the awareness of students' learning discipline at SMK Letris Indonesia 1 South Tangerang. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects of the study were the Deputy Head of Student Affairs, Guidance and Counseling Teachers, Civic Education teachers, and students at SMK Letris Indonesia 1 South Tangerang. To collect data, researchers used observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the role of Civics teachers in improving learning discipline at SMK Letris Indonesia 1 South Tangerang as motivators, facilitators, managers, demonstrators, mentors, evaluators, and models has not run optimally. This is evidenced by the violations committed by students, such as arriving late to school, falling asleep while studying, and not doing assignments on time. The inhibiting factors are families who cannot be invited to work together and the students themselves who are not aware of the importance of discipline.

Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) is an act implemented in the year 2003 to curb terrorism by monitoring university enrollments of international students with F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas (§ 8 CFR 214.3). Along with this, § 8 CFR 214.3(g): Record keeping and reporting requirements were implemented. Under this, the focus of this policy analysis is § 8 CFR 214.3(g)(1): Student records. This process was established by implementing Student Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVP). Although there are benefits of this policy, many educators raised concerns over its functionality in benefitting international students.
Le concept d’élève peut-il échapper au maximalisme moral ?
Authors: Roelens Camille
Published: October 2023

Cet article procède de la philosophie politique et de l’éthique interdisciplinaire de l’éducation et de la formation. Il questionne ce qu’il peut s’agir au juste d’« élever » chez l’enfant quand on le qualifie, dans sa scolarisation, d’élève, et la part qu’y tient l’idée de perfectionnement moral. Nous montrons d’abord que l’oeuvre durkheimienne renferme des ressorts compréhensifs précieux pour comprendre une conception maximaliste de l’éthique de l’élève - elle-même inscrite dans une perspective perfectionniste – aux sources de l’école républicaine en France, et qui conserve une influence aussi durable que désormais problématique (1). Nous dégageons ensuite les linéaments d’une éthique minimaliste de l’élève à même d’en prendre le contrepoint, et tâchons de montrer qu’elle est plutôt en congruence avec le cadre axiologique des démocraties libérales avancées (2). Une ouverture conclusive nous permet enfin d’esquisser quatre sauf-conduits possibles pour nous aider à échapper, sur ces bases, à l’héritage paternaliste du concept d’élève.
L’éthique de l’élève se construit au quotidien
Authors: Pachod André
Published: October 2023

Si la recherche documentaire confirme largement l’éthique de l’enseignant, elle ne mentionne pas de titres, ni d’ouvrages, ni d’articles spécifiques sur l’éthique de l’élève. Celle-ci serait-elle absente des préoccupations des sciences de l’éducation, de la formation initiale et continue des enseignants, de l’exercice quotidien en classe et à l’école? Supposée, elle demande à être explicitée, en contraste avec deux termes voisins de sens et souvent confondus : la morale et la déontologie. En référence à Paul Ricoeur, l’éthique sera approchée comme la visée de la vie bonne de l’élève, dans la classe et à l’école. Pour que l’éthique de l’élève puisse se construire au quotidien, diverses conditions et postures sont à activer par l’enseignant pédagogue et éducateur et par l’élève sujet et acteur.
Les dimensions philosophiques et politiques de la laïcité : une mise en perspective France-Belgique
Authors: Vivarelli Clémentine , Wolfs José-Luis
Published: October 2023

La notion de laïcité comporte deux dimensions : politique et philosophique-éthique. Classiquement, la conception française renvoie principalement à la première et la conception belge à la seconde. Or, les évolutions récentes montrent des débats vifs en France – sur le plan philosophique et éthique – entre laïcité « républicaine » et laïcité « libérale » et, en Belgique, des initiatives du monde laïque sur le plan politique : souhait de création d’un cours de philosophie et citoyenneté commun à tous, débats autour de l’inscription possible du principe de laïcité dans la Constitution. L’article met en perspective les évolutions récentes de la laïcité dans les deux pays.
Remettre « l’école » au coeur de nos établissements d’enseignement. Se réapproprier l’école comme forme pédagogique1
Authors: Masschelein Jan , Simons Maarten
Published: October 2023

Aujourd’hui, la question du « changement éducatif » est largement débattue. Un tel changement, comme nous pouvons l’entendre, est nécessaire pour plusieurs raisons : l’hétérogénéité linguistique croissante, la diversité culturelle, les avancées technologiques, et la corrélation persistante entre le milieu social et la réussite scolaire. Dans ce contexte, le terme « éducatif » semble faire référence à la pratique institutionnelle de l’école. Mais qu’entend-on par école? Dans notre contribution, nous proposons quelques éléments de ce que nous appelons une perspective pédagogique interne sur l’école et sur l’apprentissage scolaire laquelle clarifie son potentiel émancipateur en tant que forme pédagogique. Ceci nous permettra ainsi d’aborder la question du changement éducatif d’un angle différent et d’étayer un plaidoyer visant à rescolariser l’école. Nous (1) faisons d’abord la distinction entre une perspective interne et les diverses perspectives externes relatives à l’école. Nous (2) détaillons ensuite les hypothèses de base, les opérations et les expériences de l’école comme forme pédagogique en soulignant (3) que l’école est techniquement, pédagogiquement et pratiquement composée, et en (4) révélant très brièvement la façon dont l’école a été domestiquée et l’est encore aujourd’hui. Enfin, (5) nous suggérons quelques enjeux à relever afin de créer ou de réinventer l’école d’aujourd’hui, en faisant sommairement le lien avec la formation des enseignants.
I confini dell’amore e della violenza: i sentimenti malati
Authors: Dambone Carmelo
Published: October 2023

Violence against women has become a widespread, endemic factor in our society. The violent act is transversal and does not distinguish class and social class. It is difficult to find the causes but it certainly appears evident that violence flows into a need to keep women in a condition of subordination. We often wonder what drives a person who claims to love their partner to commit violent actions against them. The answer to this question is by no means simple, and many scientific studies over time have tried to give an answer by addressing the topic from various perspectives. To better understand these dynamics, however, we need to take a step back and talk about human relationships and family building, starting from two antithetical concepts: love and violence.
Quale il destino di Eros? “Tra” ossessione d’amore e amore vero
Authors: Marianelli Massimiliano
Published: October 2023

The concept of love, as explored by Plato and Aristotle, reveals the innate human desire for connection and relationships. It serves as a bridge between the mortal and the immortal, the temporal and the eternal. This article delves into the profound nature of love as depicted in Euripides’ tragedy, Medea, where the central theme revolves around the obsessive nature of love and its destructive consequences. However, the tragedy also raises deeper questions about the very essence of love and its potential for deep connections based on reciprocity, trust and respect. Furthermore, it explores the notion of “uprooting” as a central element in Medea’s story, shedding light on the consequences of the breaking of ties and the degeneration of the human being. Love, in its essence, embodies the delicate balance between assimilation and destruction of otherness, perpetuating the dynamic and elusive nature of human existence.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with higher fracture risk, despite normal or high bone mineral density. We reported that bone formation genes (SOST and RUNX2) and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) were impaired in T2D. Thus, we investigated Wnt signaling regulation and its association with AGEs accumulation in T2D. We obtained bone tissue from 15 T2D and 21 non-diabetic postmenopausal women undergoing hip arthroplasty. Bone histomorphometry revealed a trend of low mineralized volume in T2D. We showed that gene expression of Wnt agonists LEF-1 and WNT10B were lower in T2D. Accordingly, WNT5A and SOST gene expression were higher, while collagen (COL1A1) was lower in T2D. Importantly, AGEs content was associated with SOST and WNT5A, but inversely correlated with LEF-1 and COL1A1. Finally, SOST was also associated with glycemic control and disease duration. These findings suggest that Wnt signaling and AGEs could be the main determinants of bone fragility in T2D.

Background

Cellular senescence is an age-related physiological process that contributes to tissue dysfunction and accelerated onset of chronic metabolic diseases including hypertension. Indeed, elevation of blood pressure in hypertension coincides with premature vascular aging and dysfunction. In addition, onsets of metabolic disturbance and osteopenia in patients with hypertension have also been reported. It is possible that hypertension enhances premature aging and causes progressive loss of function in multiple organs. However, the landscape of cellular senescence in critical tissues affected by hypertension remains elusive.

Materials and Methods

Heart, liver, bone, hypothalamus, and kidney were collected from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age- and sex-matched normotensive Wistar rats (WT) at 6, 12, 24 and 36 weeks of age (n = 10 animals/group). Changes in mRNA levels of senescence biomarkers namely cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors (CDKIs), i.e., Cdkn2a (encoding p16Ink4a) and Cdkn1a (encoding p21cip1) as well as senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs), i.e., Timp1, Mmp12, Il6 and Cxcl1, were determined. Additionally, bone collagen alignment and hydroxy apatite crystal dimensions were determined by synchrotron radiation small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) techniques.

Results

Real-time PCR revealed that transcript levels of genes encoding CDKIs and SASPs in the heart and liver were upregulated in SHR from 6 to 36 weeks of age. Expression of Timp1 and Cxcl1 was increased in bone tissues isolated from 36-week-old SHR. In contrast, we found that expression levels of Timp1 and Il6 mRNA were decreased in hypothalamus and kidney of SHR in all age groups. Simultaneous SAXS/WAXS analysis also revealed misalignment of bone collagen fibers in SHR as compared to WT.

Conclusion

Premature aging was identified in an organ directly affected by high blood pressure (i.e., heart) and those with known functional defects in SHR (i.e., liver and bone). Cellular senescence was not evident in organs with autoregulation of blood pressure (i.e., brain and kidney). Our study suggested that cellular senescence is induced by persistently elevated blood pressure and in part, leading to organ dysfunction. Therefore, interventions that can both lower blood pressure and prevent cellular senescence should provide therapeutic benefits for treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic consequences.

Background and Objectives: The guidelines for cochlear implantation (CIs) are expanding, and the number of CI procedures performed on the elderly is increasing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results and safety of cochlear implantation in the elderly, as well as to evaluate the predictive factors on CI outcomes.Subjects and Methods: The study included 56 patients aged ≥40 years, who received CIs between 2009 and 2020. They were divided into two groups: 27 younger adults (40-64 years) and 29 elderly (>64 years). The study compared their pre- and postoperative speech perception and category of auditory performance (CAP) scores, surgical complications, and hospitalization periods. It also evaluated associated factors in the elderly group by examining categorical and continuous variables and postoperative CAP score.Results: There was a significant improvement in speech recognition tests (both word and sentence) and CAP scores in both groups compared to the pre-implantation scores (p<0.001). Postoperative results were slightly lower in the elderly group than in younger adults for sentence recognition and CAP scores, except for word recognition. No significant associated factors were found on postoperative CAP scores, except for etiology. Postoperative CAP significantly improved in the sudden hearing loss group compared to the groups with other etiologies (p=0.045). The elderly group had more comorbidities than that in the younger adult group (p=0.026), but there were no significant differences in postoperative complications and hospitalization periods.Conclusions: While speech recognition and CAP scores were relatively lower in the elderly group compared to the younger adults, the elderly group showed significant improvements in audiological results after CI. Moreover, CI was safe and well tolerated in elderly patients.

Authors: Li Noelani H. Y. , Li Christopher I.
Published: January 2025

Importance

Black and Hispanic women in the US experience higher incidence rates of aggressive molecular subtypes of breast cancer, including triple-negative disease. However, how these rates are changing, particularly across different age groups, has not been well documented.

Objective

To assess changes in overall and subtype-specific breast cancer incidence rates in the US by age and race and ethnicity.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This cohort study used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program cancer registry data from 22 US cancer registries on 1 123 658 females who received a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer from 2010 to 2019. Statistical analysis was conducted from August 2023 to October 2024.

Exposures

Age and race and ethnicity.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Age-adjusted incidence rates of invasive breast cancer overall and across the 4 major molecular subtypes by age and by race and ethnicity, as well as their associated annual percentage changes using Joinpoint Trend Analysis software.

Results

Of the 1 123 658 participants in the study, 219 112 (19.5%) were younger than 50 years, 409 257 (36.4%) were aged 50 to 64 years, and 495 289 (44.1%) were 65 years or older. A total of 141 703 participants (12.6%) were Hispanic, 3253 (0.3%) were non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native, 78 306 (7.0%) were non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander, 124 560 (11.1%) were non-Hispanic Black, 769 043 (68.4%) were non-Hispanic White, and 6793 participants (0.6%) had an unknown race and/or ethnicity. Overall, breast cancer incidence rates increased 0.5% per year from 2010 to 2019. Variation by race and ethnicity was observed, with increases of 1.4% per year among Hispanic females, 1.9% per year among non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native females, and 2.1% per year among non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander females, while rates increased only 0.8% per year among non-Hispanic Black females and 0.5% per year among non-Hispanic White females. In subtype analyses, increases of the greatest magnitude in recent years were observed in the incidence rates of triple-negative breast cancer per year among participants aged 65 years or older (Hispanic females, 2.3%; non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander females, 5.5%; and non-Hispanic Black females, 4.3%), while remaining unchanged among non-Hispanic White females.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this cohort study of 1 123 658 females with breast cancer over the 10-year period from 2010 to 2019, there were substantial differences in trends in the incidence rates of breast cancer overall and by subtype across different racial and ethnic groups. Further research is needed to understand the factors associated with these trends.
Risk Factors for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Before 3 Months of Age
Authors: Tirta Maria , Rahbek Ole , Kold Søren , Husum Hans-Christen
Published: January 2025

Importance

Two meta-analyses published in 2012 found breech presentation, family history of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), female sex, and primiparity to increase the risk of DDH. However, the DDH definition, reference tests, and the age of the examined children varied considerably, complicating the translation of those findings to current screening guidelines.

Objective

To evaluate the association of previously proposed risk factors with the risk of sonography-verified DDH.

Data Sources

A literature search strategy used MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms and text words associated with DDH and prognostic studies or risk factors. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched on November 23, 2023, to identify the cohort.

Study Selection

Criteria included articles that were in English and published from January 1, 1980, to November 23, 2023. Eligible studies included randomized clinical trials and cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies that involved participants younger than 3 months in whom a diagnosis of DDH was made by hip ultrasonography using the criterion standard Graf method, reported information on 1 or more of the proposed risk factors, and reported the final diagnosis.

Data Extraction and Synthesis

Collected variables included an evaluated risk factor, the number of infants with a risk factor, the number of infants without risk factors, and the number of infants with and without DDH in the at-risk group and in the no-risk group. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) reporting guidelines.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The main outcome measures were risk of DDH (using odds ratios [ORs]) for each of the risk factors.

Results

Of 5363 studies screened, 20 studies comprising 64 543 infants were included. Breech presentation (OR, 4.15 [95% CI, 2.62-6.57]), family history of DDH (OR, 3.83 [95% CI, 2.05-7.15]), female sex (OR, 2.50 [95% CI, 1.74-3.59]), oligohydramnios (OR, 3.76 [95% CI, 1.66-8.53]), and high birth weight (OR, 2.00 [95% CI, 1.60-2.49]) were associated with a significant increased risk of DDH. Cesarean delivery, primiparity, multiple births, low birth weight, and prematurity were not associated with DDH risk. Heterogeneity was high (I2 > 70.00%) in all of the tested factors except high birth weight (I2 = 0%). The subgroup analysis was performed to investigate these heterogeneities.

Conclusions and Relevance

The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that family history and breech presentation were associated with a significant increase in the risk of sonography-verified DDH in infants younger than 3 months, and a DDH risk increase of female sex was found to be lower than previously reported. A risk increase was detected for oligohydramnios, which has not been included in many screening programs and might also be considered as a referral criterion for hip ultrasonography.

Published: January 2025

Importance

The rise of high-potency opioids such as fentanyl makes buprenorphine initiation challenging due to the risks of precipitated withdrawal, prompting the exploration of strategies, such as low-dose initiation (LDI) of buprenorphine. However, no comparative studies on LDI outcomes exist.

Objective

To evaluate outpatient outcomes associated with 2 LDI protocols of buprenorphine among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) using fentanyl.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This cohort study analyzed data on adults with OUD who self-reported daily fentanyl use and underwent buprenorphine initiation using LDI. Data were extracted from the electronic health records of 2 substance use disorder treatment clinics using a specialty behavioral health pharmacy in San Francisco, California, from May 2021 to November 2022.

Exposures

Type of LDI protocol selected by individuals: 4-day or 7-day protocol.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was successful buprenorphine initiation, defined as self-reported LDI completion and pickup of a refill maintenance prescription, and buprenorphine retention. Logistic regression with generalized estimating equations assessed associations between LDI protocol (4-day vs 7-day) and successful initiation, adjusting for multiple attempts, age, gender identity, race and ethnicity, and housing status. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate buprenorphine retention, and survival curves were adjusted using a fitted Cox proportional hazards regression model.

Results

A total of 126 individuals (median [IQR] age, 35 [29-44] years; 90 identified as men [71%]; 26 [21%] identified as Black or African American, 20 [16%] as Latine, and 66 [52%] as White individuals) with 175 initiation attempts were included. Across attempts, 72 (41%) had a 4-day LDI protocol and 103 (59%) had a 7-day protocol. Initiation was successful in 60 attempts (34%), including 27 (38%) among 4-day protocol and 29 (28%) among 7-day protocol attempts. Buprenorphine retention rate at 28 days was 21% for a 4-day protocol and 18% for a 7-day protocol. Logistic regression found no significant differences between LDI protocols and successful initiation, while repeated LDI attempts had lower odds of success (second attempt: adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.30 [95% CI, 0.14-0.66]; third or more attempt: AOR, 0.22 [95% CI, 0.09-0.53]). Unadjusted and adjusted survival models did not detect a significant difference in retention between LDI protocol types.

Conclusions and Relevance

This cohort study found that among people with OUD using fentanyl and attempting outpatient LDI of buprenorphine, successful buprenorphine initiation and retention rates were low. Future studies should examine interventions to improve LDI success and increase buprenorphine uptake and retention.

Still Lost in the Mall—False Memories Happen and That's What Matters
Authors: Wade Kimberley A. , Riesthuis Paul , Bücken Charlotte , Otgaar Henry , Loftus Elizabeth F.
Published: January 2025

For more than 25 years, psychologists have explored how people can develop rich false memories. Murphy et al. (2023) replicated the original “lost in the mall” study (Loftus and Pickrell 1995), demonstrating that 35% of participants developed false beliefs or memories. Andrews and Brewin (in press) reanalyzed Murphy et al.'s data, concluding that participants who developed false memories reported 25% of the suggested details and 50% of their reports were potentially real memories. Based on this, Andrews and Brewin posited that only 4% of Murphy et al.'s participants developed false memories. We take issue with Andrews and Brewin's conclusions. Given human memory is reconstructive, we should expect participants' reports to contain remnants of accurate memories, self or schematic knowledge, or speculation. Moreover, even low false memory rates can be practically important. What matters is that suggestive influences can lead to substantial memory distortions and even plant new events that had not occurred.
