Neke dojmljive kolokacije u nadgrobnom govoru Nikole Modruškoga za Pietra Riarija (1474.)
Authors: Jovanovic Neven
Published: October 2022

On January 5, 1474, Cardinal Pietro Riario, the powerful nephew of pope Sixtus IV, died; Riario was buried on January 18. Nicholas, bishop of Modruš, a member of the cardinal's entourage, published immediately a short funeral oration which became quite popular during the papacy of Sixtus IV. Nicholas's oration modestly hides its humanist learning, explicitly citing only the Bible, although the sources of ideas and expressions in the oration include also Cicero, Horace, Lorenzo Valla, Plato, Firmicus Maternus, Aristotle, Augustine, Seneca, Petrus Damiani, Sidonius Apollinaris, Terence. A further group of linguistic parallels in the oration consists of memorable, notable phrases whose sources cannot be unambiguously identified. We list eleven examples of such phrases and their occurrences in other Latin texts (dicturus igitur; extremum amici munus; vel praestare possim vel polliceri; praecipuus fautor, cultor bonorum, curiae splendor, ornamentum civitatis; puerili aetate, virili tamen sensu; ipsa veritate verius; honesta hospitia; officiorum vicissitudine; lacrimis suffusum oculos; Simoniacae perfidiae praemia; caduca mundi felicitas; further 13 memorable collocations for which parallels were also found are recorded without documentation). Research of digitally accessible texts shows that the phrases were used and modified throughout antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, by the famous writers as well as in obscure documents. Such memorable collocations signalize general linguistic competence of Nicholas, bishop of Modruš; they were a feature of general use of Latin during the premodern period in Europe.
Church-Based Research: Using Theories, Concepts, and Operationalizations
Authors: Dunaetz David Robert
Published: October 2022

Church-based research requires working with abstract concepts ranging from sin to sanctification. Theories, concepts, and operationalizations allow us to work with these abstractions. Theories are sets of statements describing how some specific concepts relate to each other. Concepts are broad ideas that exist in our thinking that can be used to describe phenomena, both within and exterior to the church. If we measure the concepts in our theories, we can determine to what degree the relationships in our theories are true or discover under what conditions they are true. Sometimes concepts can be measured directly; other times they must be measured indirectly. Operationalizations are the specific processes used for measuring each of the concepts. As we test and refine our theories, we can more effectively accomplish the ministries to which we are called.

BPD Compass: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Short-Term, Personality-Based Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Sauer-Zavala Shannon , Southward Matthew W. , Fruhbauerova Martina , Semcho Stephen , Stumpp Nicole , Hood Caitlyn O.
Published: October 2022

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a heterogeneous condition that can be understood as the manifestation of three personality dimensions: neuroticism (i.e., high negative affectivity), agreeableness (i.e., low antagonism), and conscientiousness (i.e., low disinhibition). The purpose of the present study was to explore whether treatment with BPD Compass, a novel personality-based intervention for BPD, results in greater reductions in BPD symptoms, neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness compared to a waitlist control (WLC) condition. We also aimed to characterize within-treatment effects for participants assigned to the BPD Compass condition and evaluate patients’ satisfaction with treatment. Participants (N = 51; Mage = 28.38; 83.3% female; 93.8% white; 54.2% sexual minority) meeting DSM-5 criteria for BPD were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of BPD Compass. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 18 sessions of BPD Compass or complete an 18-week waiting period. BPD Compass led to larger reductions in BPD symptoms (assessor-rated [ = –.47] and self-reported [ = –.62]) and neuroticism (β = –.37), but not agreeableness (β = .08) or conscientiousness (β = .10), compared to the WLC condition. Within the BPD Compass condition, pre- to post-treatment improvements in BPD symptoms, neuroticism, and conscientiousness were significant and large in magnitude (Hedges’ gs: –1.38- –1.08). Patients were highly satisfied with BPD Compass and generally perceived it to be an appropriate length. Thus, BPD Compass may be an accessible and useful complement to more specialty or intensive treatments for BPD.
Effort expenditure decreases risk aversion when dealing with gains but not losses
Authors: Dora Jonas , Inzlicht Michael
Published: October 2022

Separate lines of research suggest that people tend to avoid mental effort, but also value it. Evidence for this effort paradox in the same context is scarce. We tested whether people discount effort prior to the investment of effort and value effort following its investment. In three preregistered experiments (total N = 450), participants repeatedly chose between executing a low-effort task for a small reward and a high-effort task for a larger reward. Participants then chose whether or not to gamble with their rewards. As people tend to become more risk averse as subjective value increases, we reasoned that participants would be less likely to gamble with rewards the harder they had to work for them. In Studies 1 and 2, we framed the experiment in terms of gaining rewards. In Study 3, we framed the experiment in terms of losing rewards. In all three studies, effort was discounted prospectively, meaning people demanded higher rewards to invest more effort. Contrary to our predictions, we found that people were more likely to gamble with the rewards the more effort it required to obtain them, but only when the rewards were framed in terms of gains (Studies 1 and 2). Collectively, these results suggest that any potential effort paradox is unlikely to occur when people are aware of the association between investing effort and gaining rewards. Our results also imply a novel hypothesis, namely that the aversive feeling accompanying effort might motivate people to engage in risky behavior.

Blackpill Science: Involuntary Celibacy, Rational Technique, and Economic Existence under Neoliberalism
Authors: Burton Anthony G.
Published: October 2022

Background: This article explores the “scientific blackpill,” used by those in contemporary digital incel communities to describe living as involuntarily celibate. To take the scientific blackpill is to both see and develop a rigid social hierarchy that attempts to explains the incel’s sexual and social lacks.

Analysis: Through a discourse analysis of the largest web forum for self-identified “incels,” this article finds that the “scientific blackpill” acts as a Foucauldian “technology of the self,” designed to both explain and reverse the incel’s perceived social oppressions.

Conclusion and Implications: Designed in an attempt to emulate the objectifying behaviour of masculinity under neoliberalism, the blackpill legitimates the very social behaviours that devalue the incel’s social existence.
Lost in the Information Maze: Understanding the Multiple Drivers of QAnon Online Conspiracy Theories
Authors: Hodson Jaigris , Gosse Chandell
Published: October 2022

Background: The conspiracy community known as QAnon rose to prominence in the mainstream media over the last several years. To curb its spread, social media platforms have blocked QAnon-related activity.

Analysis: A review of the scholarly literature related to QAnon and conspiracy theories in general shows how conspiratorial ideation can best be understood as a response to an uncertain social, political, and digital environment.

Conclusions and Implications: We argue in favour of an ecological approach, highlighting the forces that make people vulnerable to QAnon-related conspiracies and other types of misinformation. This article demonstrates how interventions need to be made at policy, cultural, educational, and community levels in addition to platform-based interventions.
On the Structure of the Beserman Dictionary Based on the Materials of T. I. Teplyashina
Authors: Maksimov Sergey Anatolyevich
Published: October 2022

This work is devoted to description of the microstructure (dictionary entry) of the Beserman dictionary, which is compiled based on the materials of T. I. Teplyashina. Besermans are small people who live compactly in the North West of Udmurtia. From the point of view of linguistics they speak a special dialect of the Udmurt language. The Besermans have a stable ethnic and linguistic identity, which is different from the Udmurt. At the beginning of the 21st century, the language of Besermans has become an object of considerable interest for linguists. Field materials were embodied in two dictionaries, a monograph and scientific articles. The most significant contribution to the study of the Beserman dialect was made by T. I. Teplyashina, who published the monograph “The Language of the Besermans”. Most of her materials, which were systematized in a field file, remained unused. The scientist's field file representing the Beserman speech of speakers born in the century before last can be called a unique linguistic heritage, waiting to be processed and implemented as a dictionary. Our dictionary will contain lexical and textual materials published in monographs and previously unpublished. This article examines in detail the structure of the dictionary, which has no analogues, at least in the lexicography of the Ural-Volga region.

OBJECTIVE

This study was designed to assess how postoperative opioid prescription dosage could affect patient-reported outcomes after elective spine surgery.

METHODS

Patients enrolled in the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) from January 2020 to September 2021 were included in this study. Opioid prescriptions at discharge were converted to total morphine milligram equivalents (MME). A reference value of 225 MME per week was used as a cutoff. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on prescribed total MME: ≤ 225 MME and > 225 MME. Primary outcomes included patient satisfaction, return to work status after surgery, and whether improvement of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 4-question short form for physical function (PROMIS PF) and EQ-5D was met. Generalized estimated equations were used for multivariate analysis.

RESULTS

Regression analysis revealed that patients who had postoperative opioids prescribed with > 225 MME were less likely to be satisfied with surgery (adjusted OR [aOR] 0.81) and achieve PROMIS PF MCID (aOR 0.88). They were also more likely to be opioid dependent at 90 days after elective spine surgery (aOR 1.56).

CONCLUSIONS

The opioid epidemic is a serious threat to national public health, and spine surgeons must practice conscientious postoperative opioid prescribing to achieve adequate pain control. The authors’ analysis illustrates that a postoperative opioid prescription of 225 MME or less is associated with improved patient satisfaction, greater improvement in physical function, and decreased opioid dependence compared with those who had > 225 MME prescribed.

Published: October 2022

This report studies the intersection between digital campaigning in elections, and political finance and its regulation in the Asia and the Pacific region. In so doing, it connects the digital disruption with an existential threat to democracies across the world―money in politics. Political finance poses the danger of not only ‘policy capture’ but also, in worse scenarios, state capture by monied interests.  The report maps out the nature and extent of digital campaigning in the Asia and the Pacific region, with a focus on five country case studies (Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan and Kyrgyzstan), and it studies the regulation of digital campaigning under political finance laws. It analyses the democratic implications of digital campaigning for political finance and its regulation. Recommendations are provided for regulating the nexus between digital campaigning and political finance to enhance the benefits of digital campaigning for democracies in the Asia and the Pacific region.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common untreatable cause of lobar hemorrhages and cognitive decline in the older population. Subset of patients present with its inflammatory subtype with rapid decline in cognitive functions and neurological deficits. Most commonly the underlying pathophysiology of this disease is deposition of insoluble amyloid protein into blood vessel walls which results in vessel fragility leading to local neurotoxicity which may eventually leads to lobar hemorrhages and cognitive decline. The term “Amyloid Spell” encompasses transient focal neurological deficits which is commonly misdiagnosed as seizures or transient ischemic attack in the emergency department. Radiologic findings in these patients may reveal microbleeds, cortical superficial siderosis, white matter hyperintensities, and cerebral edema which support the clinical diagnosis which could be otherwise challenging. CAA diagnostic criteria require CT (Edinburgh Criteria) or MRI imaging, or neuropathology. The diagnosis can be suspected without imaging or neuropathology but cannot be confirmed. This review article provides a critical outlook on different types of presentations, updated diagnostic criteria and management of CAA patients illustrating underlying mechanisms associated with neuronal injury secondary to amyloid deposition.
How older adults’ health beliefs affect intention to perform COVID-19 self-examination: A reasoned action approach
Authors: Lai Kim Piew , Chong Siong Choy , Lin Binshan
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 self-examination is a significant part of the national recovery plan against the virus. Although it is easier to perform COVID-19 self-examination (CSE), only a small percentage of people prefer it. There are no precise statistics on CSE in Malaysia, but informal data from news agencies imply low CSE. Lack of awareness and conflicting information about the reliability of CSE results may have raised concerns about CSE’s efficacy and effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates how Malaysian older adults’ health beliefs influence their intention to perform CSE. The study developed a framework combining illness threats (ITH), perceived barriers (PBA), medical motivations (MMO), and control over illness (COI) from the Health Belief Model (HBM) with the Reasoned-Action Approach’s attitude (ATT), perceived control (PCO), and intention (INT). METHODS: Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analyses were conducted with AMOS 26 software to determine the influence of HBM on older adults’ attitude, perceived control, and intention. The study collected 200 data for the pilot study and 400 data for hypotheses testing. RESULTS: ITH, MMO, and COI have positive effects, whilst PBA affects ATT negatively. ITH and COI positively impact PCO, and PCO has a greater significant effect on INT than ATT. CONCLUSION: Given the HBM’s role in influencing older adults’ intention to perform COVID-19 self-examination, providing different levels of care and emphasising the perception of knowledge of illness are especially beneficial. Several recommendations are made to ensure that CSE remains relevant for older adults’ well-being, although COVID-19’s impact has become more stabilised.
Perivascular Space Predicts Brain Hypometabolism of Individuals with Underlying Amyloid Pathology

Published: October 2022

Background: Reduced signal on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a valid proxy for neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Perivascular space (PVS) is believed to be associated with AD pathology and cognitive decline. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations of PVS with FDG-PET and cognitive performance based on the burden of amyloid pathology. Methods: We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). MRI-visible PVS in basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semi-oval (CSO) were visually classified as: none/mild, moderate or frequent/severe. The association of PVS with brain FDG-PET was explored based on the burden of amyloid pathology, where a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) t-tau/Aβ42 with the ratio≥0.27 was defined as high amyloid pathology. Moreover, the relationships between PVS and cognitive performance variables (ADNI-MEM and ADNI-EF) were studied. Results: For participants with higher tau/Aβ42 ratio, CSO-PVS severity was independently associated with lower FDG-PET. There were significant interaction effects between moderate or frequent/severe CSO-PVS and time on FDG decline in people with high amyloid pathology. The interaction between CSO-PVS and time (follow-up) was consistently associated with ADNI-MEM and ADNI-EF decline in individuals with high amyloid pathology. Conclusion: The study established the differential utility of PVS in BG and CSO for predicting brain metabolism. These findings suggest that CSO-PVS serves as a contributing factor to brain metabolism and cognitive decline associated with amyloid pathology.

Background: In the United States, dementia specialty centers affiliated with centers of excellence for research hold promise as locations to develop innovative, holistic care in care systems otherwise siloed by discipline or payer. Objective: We conducted foundational research to inform development of patient-and family-centered palliative care interventions for dementia specialty centers. Methods: We interviewed persons living with dementia (PLWD), current, and former care partners (CP) recruited from a specialty dementia clinic and purposively selected for variation across disease syndrome and stage. A framework method of thematic analysis included coding, analytic matrices, and pattern mapping. Results: 40 participants included 9 PLWD, 16 current CPs, and 15 former CPs of decedents; 48% impacted by Alzheimer’s disease dementia. While help from family, support groups and adult day centers, paid caregiving, and sensitive clinical care were invaluable to PLWD, CPs, or both, these supports were insufficient to navigate the extensive challenges. Disease-oriented sources of distress included symptoms, functional impairment and falls, uncertainty and loss, and inaccessible care. Social and relational challenges included constrained personal and professional opportunities. The obligation and toll of giving or receiving caregiving were challenging. Clinical care challenges for PLWD and/or CPs included care fragmentation, insufficient guidance to inform planning and need for expert interdisciplinary clinical care at home. Conclusion: Findings highlight the breadth and gravity of gaps, which surpass the disciplinary focus of either behavioral neurology or palliative care alone. Results can inform the development of novel interventions to add principles of geriatrics and neuropalliative care to dementia care.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease have difficulty maintaining independent living abilities as the disease progresses, causing an increased burden of care on family caregivers and the healthcare system and related financial strain. This patient group is expected to continue to expand as life expectancy climbs. Current diagnostics for Alzheimer’s disease are complex, unaffordable, and invasive without regard to diagnosis quality at early stages, which urgently calls for more technical improvements for diagnosis specificity. Optical coherence tomography or tomographic angiography has been shown to identify retinal thickness loss and lower vascular density present earlier than symptom onset in these patients. The retina is an extension of the central nervous system and shares anatomic and functional similarities with the brain. Ophthalmological examinations can be an efficient tool to offer a window into cerebral pathology with the merit of easy operation. In this review, we summarized the latest observations on retinal pathology in Alzheimer’s disease and discussed the feasibility of retinal imaging in diagnostic prediction, as well as limitations in current retinal examinations for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

Background: Lewy body dementia is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia, but data concerning the onset age and clinical features in the prodromal stage remain limited in China. Objective: To investigate the associations between onset age and clinical manifestations of cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies in a large-sample cohort. Methods: We included 74 patients with mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI-LB), 533 patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), 118 patients with Parkinson’s disease with MCI (PD-MCI), and 313 patients with Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) in this multicenter cohort from 22 memory clinics of China from 1 January 2018 to 31 March 2022. The onset age, clinical manifestations, and neuropsychological assessments were recorded and analyzed after reviewing the medical records. Results: The average onset age of memory loss was 68.28 (±7.00) years, and parkinsonism happened 2.00 (±1.24) years later for patients with MCI-LB. The average onset age of parkinsonism was 60.56 (±8.96) years, and the memory loss happened 3.49 (±3.02) years later for patients with PD-MCI. Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and visual hallucinations were frequently reported in MCI-LB, DLB, and PDD, while visual hallucinations were least frequently reported in PD-MCI. Lower scores of MMSE and depression, and higher scores of activities of daily living and delusions, were independently associated with older onset age in DLB. Conclusion: The onset of PD-MCI precedes MCI-LB, and memory loss occurs 3 years after parkinsonism. The onset age is associated with cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms in process.

Background: Clinical trials now test promising therapies in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Participant willingness to enroll in different types of preclinical AD trials is understudied and whether the FDA approval of aducanumab affected these attitudes is unknown. Objective: To evaluate preferences toward three preclinical AD trial scenarios and whether the FDA approval of aducanumab changed willingness to participate among potential trial participants. Methods: Through an electronic survey, we asked enrollees in a recruitment registry age 50-79 to rate their willingness (using a 6-point Likert scale) to enroll in three hypothetical preclinical AD trial scenarios: an in-clinic infused monoclonal antibody intervention, a home-infused monoclonal antibody intervention, and an oral BACE inhibitor intervention. We administered the survey before and after the FDA approval of aducanumab. We used a generalized estimating equation model to assess group differences in preference for the trial scenarios. We used a paired t-test to determine if willingness to participate (using total willingness across three scenarios as the outcome) changed after the FDA decision. Results: At baseline, the mean participant willingness was highest in the in-clinic infusion scenario. There was no significant change in willingness to participate, overall, after the FDA decision. Participants who were independently aware of the FDA’s decision (prior to the second survey) demonstrated reduced willingness to participate; participants unaware of the FDA decision demonstrated no change. Conclusion: Willingness to participate in preclinical AD trials may have been negatively affected by the FDA’s decision to approve aducanumab among those aware of the decision.

Published: October 2022

Background: There is limited epidemiological research on the incidence of young onset dementia (YOD). Estimates of YOD incidence in New Zealand are extrapolated from international studies that do not reflect New Zealand’s population and ethnic diversity. Objective: To determine the incidence of YOD in the geographical area served by the Waikato District Health Board Methods: All new inpatient and outpatient in the age range 30–64 years with a documented diagnosis of dementia at Waikato Hospital between 1 January 2014 –31 December 2016 were identified. Incidence rates were calculated by 5-year age-band, sex, and ethnicity. Results: 64 incident cases of YOD were included. Incidence rates for all cause YOD were 13.3 (95% CI 10.3–17.0) and 22.7 (95% CI 17.5–29.1) per 100,000 person-years in the age range 30–64 years and 45–64 years respectively. The incidence rate in Māori (20.0, 95% CI 11.4–32.4) was higher compared to non-Māori (12.0, 95% CI 8.9–15.9), but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.09). Conclusion: The incidence of YOD in this study is similar to global estimates. Incidence may be higher in Māori compared to non-Māori, highlighting the need for culturally appropriate approaches to dementia prevention, intervention, and care.

Modern medicine and healthcare systems focus on diagnosing, treating, and monitoring diseases in clinical practice. However, contemporary disease burden is driven by chronic diseases, whose determinants occur across multiple levels of influence, from genetics to changes in the natural, built environments to societal conditions and policies. Conventional discipline-specific approaches are useful for the discovery and accumulation of knowledge on single causes of disease entities. Multidisciplinary collaborations can facilitate the identification of the causes of diseases at multiple levels, while interdisciplinary collaboration remains limited to transferring tools from one discipline to another, perhaps creating new disciplines (molecular epidemiology, etc). However, these forms of disciplinary collaboration fall short in capturing the complexity of chronic disease. In addition, these approaches lack sufficient power to generate knowledge that is translatable into implementable solutions, because of their failure to provide a holistic view limited their ability to capture the complexity of real-world problems. Transdisciplinary collaborations gained popularity in health research in the 1990 s, when disciplinary researchers began to develop integrated research frameworks that transcended discipline-specific methods. Using cancer research as an example, this position paper describes the nature of different disciplinary collaborations, reviews transdisciplinary research projects funded by the US National Cancer Institute, discusses frameworks to develop shared mental models in teams and to evaluate transdisciplinary collaboration, highlights the role of team science in successful transdisciplinary health research, and proposes future research to develop the science of team science.
