Il Milione. The first 14 years of ERC funding to human past studies (SH6): an Italian perspective
Authors: Lago Giancarlo , Di Renzoni Andrea
Published: February 2022

This article addresses European Research Council (ERC) grants in the Archaeology and History panel (SH6). The study was conducted by considering the first two cycles of ERC funding (2007-2020). We introduce to eligibility criteria and evaluation process involved in ERC calls. We show the results of the analysis in terms of most awarded ‘countries’ per call (Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant, Advanced Grant), the profiles of researchers and the main research subjects of 360 granted funding. The inquire is extended to a systematic analysis regarding the profile of scientific members of the commissions (480 scholars) employed to evaluate the proposals. The outcome is that Italian institutions underperforming compared to other major European countries; the success rate of ‘Italian’ proposals is lower than the European average; young Italian researchers very rarely obtain Starting Grants. This is, we believe, partly due to some policies currently still in place – even if no longer sustainable - in Italian universities. There is some correlation between most awarded institutions (by country) and most employed panelists. In the final part, we show the main trending topics of ERC projects.
The Iron Age looks at Rome for the first time in audiovisuals: fiction, cultural imaginary and historical reality in Barbarians and Britannia
Authors: Gago Mariño Manuel , García Sánchez Jesús
Published: February 2022

Two recent fiction series produced for video-on-demand (VOD) platforms show the conflict between the Roman Empire and indigenous peoples from the perspective of the latter for the first time. Thus, transforming the traditional Roman historical genre into a more diverse and multifocal space. But, in Barbarians and Britannia this new audiovisual optic manages the representation of this historical reality in completely opposite ways.

Elisabeth Niklasson is lecturer at the School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen. She holds two master’s degrees in Cultural Heritage and Computational Archaeology from Gothenburg University, and a PhD in Archaeology from Stockholm University. She has long been interested in the ethical and political aspects of archaeological heritage, particularly relating to contemporary identity politics. A core part of her research has focused on European heritage policies, studying the influence of European Union (EU) funding schemes on archaeology. She has also reflected critically on the reception of aDNA in archaeology. In recent years, she has expanded her focus to analyse uses of the past by populist and extreme right movements in Europe, making vital contributions to our understanding of heritage in times of political polarization.
Public Archaeology in Greece: A Review of the Current State of the Field
Authors: Sakellariadi Anastasia
Published: February 2022

As far as archaeology deals with the past in the present, it is already a public endeavour; especially so in southern Europe, where contemporary identities are drawn from ancient cultures, such as the Greek and Roman. In Greece, the political role of the discipline marked antiquities as goods of the people and archaeology as a highly popular discourse. This led to the creation of a state mechanism to manage antiquities for the benefit, but ironically at the exclusion, of the people, in an authoritative top-down approach. In defiance, various actors participate in the public discourse about the past, cultural heritage and its roles today.

This paper will review the state of the field by bringing together research in public archaeology in Greece but also non-academic initiatives, such as NGOs and citizen movements. It is argued that public engagement, primarily through museum exhibitions - the most formal and controlled interface between archaeology and non-archaeologists – and cultural events in archaeological sites, is the primary aspect of public archaeology. While public archaeological discourse is overabundant and expansive though, critical research and analysis are lagging and conventional narratives remain broadly unchallenged.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND:

The role of smoking in the prognosis of bladder cancer may significantly impact clinical management. It is also a considerable burden to Taiwan’s economy and health of its citizens.

OBJECTIVE:

To search Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database to determine whether smoking affected overall and cancer-specific mortality of patients with bladder cancer.

METHODS:

We collected data on basic information, tumor stage, and comorbidities. Each smoking case was propensity score-matched by age, sex, and diagnosis year to one control individual among bladder cancer patients. The study comprised a never-smoke and an ever-smoke group, with each group including 4,728 patients after matching. We evaluated the association between smoking and mortalities in patients with bladder cancer. Cox proportional regression modeling was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of overall and cancer-specific mortality rates. Stratified analysis was also performed to estimate risk ratios of overall and cancer-specific mortalities in bladder cancer patients with and without a history of smoking history among different subgroups.

RESULTS:

The overall and specific mortality ratio of patients who were ever smokers were 1.15-fold and 1.16-fold, respectively, compared with those of never smokers (overall: 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06–1.26, P = 0.0014; specific: 95% CI, 1.03–1. 03, P = 0.0176). Patients with bladder cancer who smoked and had significantly higher overall and specific mortality rates were those with Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)≥3 (overall: P = 0.0119; specific: P = 0.0092), diabetes mellitus (DM; overall: P = 0.0046; specific: P = 0.0419), and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC; overall: P = 0.0038; specific: P = 0.0014).

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall and specific mortality rates were significantly higher in the ever-smoke group than in the never-smoke group. The ever-smoke group with male sex, CCI≥3, DM, and NMIBC had increased risks for overall and specific mortality.

Authors: Zhang Fan , Li Gang , Jin Lifang , Jia Chao , Shi Qiusheng , Wu Rong
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and optimize the additional diagnostic value of Doppler imaging for malignant NMLs detected by US. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The characteristics of 233 NMLs in Doppler imaging were analyzed, and different Adler grades of intralesional vessels were selected as the diagnostic cutoffs on Doppler imaging: grade 1 in the full cohort and in women < 40 years, and grade 0 in women ≥40 years. The diagnostic performance of US and US + Doppler imaging were calculated and compared with that of mammography. RESULTS: The AUC of US + Doppler was larger than that of US alone in each group (P < 0.001). In the full cohort, addition of Doppler imaging increased specificity of US, but decreased sensitivity. However, by use of different diagnostic cutoffs in the two subgroups, it was possible to achieve high sensitivity and specificity simultaneously, which were 100% and 75.8% in women < 40 years, 94.7% and 69.5% in women ≥40 years, respectively. The AUC + Doppler was comparable to that of mammography in the full cohort and in women ≥40 years. In women < 40 years, the AUC of the combination was larger than that of mammography (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Doppler imaging, with different Adler grades used as cutoffs in older versus younger women, can improve the specificity of US for the diagnosis of malignant NMLs without losing sensitivity. In younger women, US + Doppler imaging may be better than mammography.

Published: February 2022

Background: Certain classes of antihypertensive medication may have different associations with cognitive impairment. Objective: To examine the association between prevalent use of antihypertensive medications that stimulate (thiazides, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, angiotensin type I receptor blockers) versus inhibit (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers) type 2 and 4 angiotensin II receptors on cognitive impairment among older adults residing in Veterans Affairs (VA) nursing homes for long-term care. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Long-term care residents aged 65 + years admitted to a VA nursing home from 2012 to 2019 using blood pressure medication and without cognitive impairment at admission. Main exposure was prevalent use of angiotensin II receptor type 2 and 4-‘stimulating’ (N = 589), ‘inhibiting’ (N = 3,219), or ‘mixed’ (N = 1,715) antihypertensive medication regimens at admission. Primary outcome was any cognitive impairment (Cognitive Function Scale). Results: Over an average of 5.4 months of follow-up, prevalent use of regimens containing exclusively ‘stimulating’ antihypertensives was associated with a lower risk of any incident cognitive impairment as compared to prevalent use of regimens containing exclusively ‘inhibiting’ antihypertensives (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74–0.93). Results for the comparison between ‘mixed’ versus ‘inhibiting’ regimens were in the same direction but not statistically significant (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.88–1.06). Conclusion: For residents without cognitive impairment at baseline, prevalent users of regimens containing exclusively antihypertensives that stimulate type 2 and 4 angiotensin II receptors had lower rates of cognitive impairment as compared to prevalent users of regimens containing exclusively antihypertensives that inhibit these receptors. Residual confounding cannot be ruled out.
A Systematic Review of Prospective Memory Interventions Across Stages of Dementia-Related Disorders
Authors: Rice Michaela , Davalos Deana , Thomas Michael L.
Published: February 2022

Background: There is a critical need to develop effective interventions for cognitive impairments associated with dementia-related disorders (i.e., Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, mild cognitive impairment). Prospective memory (PM), or the ability to create and carry out future intentions, is one cognitive domain that is impaired in individuals with dementia-related disorders. Effective treatment of PM could significantly improve daily functioning, level of independence, and quality of life. Objective: To date, there have been a number of studies investigating potential interventions, but these interventions have not been comprehensively reviewed and compared across the stages of dementia-related disorders, as is the aim of the current review. Methods: This review examined 21 studies on the success of intervention strategies for prospective memory in patients with dementia-related disorders. Results: All the studies demonstrated positive effects of intervention on PM abilities, but there are questions concerning ecological validity, length of positive effects on PM, and a lack of diversity of interventions across the different stages of dementia-related disorders. Conclusion: Future research should address these issues by incorporating daily functioning activities and caregiver support into the intervention process, as well as investigating these interventions at more severe stages of dementia-related disorders.

Published: February 2022

Background: There are few Arabic language functional scales for patients with dementia. The Bristol Activity of Daily Living Scale (BADLS) was designed and validated for use in patients with dementia. Objective: Our study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the BADLS to the Arabic language for people with neurocognitive decline and dementia. Methods: The original BADLS scale was translated to the Arabic language followed by face validity assessment through a pilot testing in five Arabic countries. The Arabic BADLS was assessed in a sample of 139 participants and their caregivers for concurrent and convergent validity. Results: The Arabic BADLS had excellent internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha 0.95 (95% CI 0.93–0.96). Likewise, the Arabic BADLS had strong convergent validity with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (r = –0.82, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Arabic BADLS is a valid scale that can used to assess the functional performance of people living with dementia.
Consequences of Hyperphosphorylated Tau in the Locus Coeruleus on Behavior and Cognition in a Rat Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Kelberman Michael A. , Anderson Claire R. , Chlan Eli , Rorabaugh Jacki M. , McCann Katharine E. , Weinshenker David
Published: February 2022

Background: The locus coeruleus (LC) is one of the earliest brain regions to accumulate hyperphosphorylated tau, but a lack of animal models that recapitulate this pathology has hampered our understanding of its contributions to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology. Objective: We previously reported that TgF344-AD rats, which overexpress mutant human amyloid precursor protein and presenilin-1, accumulate early endogenous hyperphosphorylated tau in the LC. Here, we used TgF344-AD rats and a wild-type (WT) human tau virus to interrogate the effects of endogenous hyperphosphorylated rat tau and human tau in the LC on AD-related neuropathology and behavior. Methods: Two-month-old TgF344-AD and WT rats received bilateral LC infusions of full-length WT human tau or mCherry control virus driven by the noradrenergic-specific PRSx8 promoter. Rats were subsequently assessed at 6 and 12 months for arousal (sleep latency), anxiety-like behavior (open field, elevated plus maze, novelty-suppressed feeding), passive coping (forced swim task), and learning and memory (Morris water maze and fear conditioning). Hippocampal microglia, astrocyte, and AD pathology were evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Results: In general, the effects of age were more pronounced than genotype or treatment; older rats displayed greater hippocampal pathology, took longer to fall asleep, had reduced locomotor activity, floated more, and had impaired cognition compared to younger animals. TgF344-AD rats showed increased anxiety-like behavior and impaired learning and memory. The tau virus had negligible influence on most measures. Conclusion: Effects of hyperphosphorylated tau on AD-like neuropathology and behavioral symptoms were subtle. Further investigation of different forms of tau is warranted.

Published: February 2022

Stroke, characterized as a neurological deficit of cerebrovascular cause, is very common in older adults. Increasing evidence suggests stroke contributes to the risk and severity of cognitive impairment. People with cognitive impairment following stroke often face with quality-of-life issues and require ongoing support, which have a profound effect on caregivers and society. The high morbidity of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) demands effective management strategies, in which preventive strategies are more appealing, especially those targeting towards modifiable risk factors. In this review article, we attempt to summarize existing evidence and knowledge gaps on PSCI: elaborating on the heterogeneity in current definitions, reporting the inconsistent findings in PSCI prevalence in the literature, exploring established or less established predictors, outlining prevention and treatment strategies potentially effective or currently being tested, and proposing promising directions for future research.
Retrograde Procedural Memory in Parkinson’s Disease: A Cross-Sectional, Case-Control Study
Authors: Pauly Laure , Pauly Claire , Hansen Maxime , Schröder Valerie E. , Rauschenberger Armin , Leist Anja K. , Krüger Rejko ,   on behalf of the NCER-PD Consortium
Published: February 2022

Background:

The analysis of the procedural memory is particularly relevant in neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease, due to the central role of the basal ganglia in procedural memory. It has been shown that anterograde procedural memory, the ability to learn a new skill, is impaired in Parkinson’s disease. However, retrograde procedural memory, the long-term retention and execution of skills learned in earlier life stages, has not yet been systematically investigated in Parkinson’s disease.

Objective:

This study aims to investigate retrograde procedural memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. We hypothesized that retrograde procedural memory is impaired in people with Parkinson’s disease compared to an age- and gender-matched control group.

Methods:

First, we developed the CUPRO evaluation system, an extended evaluation system based on the Cube Copying Test, to distinguish the cube copying procedure, representing functioning of retrograde procedural memory, and the final result, representing the visuo-constructive abilities. Development of the evaluation system included tests of discriminant validity.

Results:

Comparing people with typical Parkinson’s disease ( n = 201) with age- and gender-matched control subjects ( n = 201), we identified cube copying performance to be significantly impaired in people with Parkinson’s disease ( p = 0.008). No significant correlation was observed between retrograde procedural memory and disease duration.

Conclusion:

We demonstrated lower cube copying performance in people with Parkinson’s disease compared to control subjects, which suggests an impaired functioning of retrograde procedural memory in Parkinson’s disease.
Relación entre calidad de vida y estrategias de afrontamiento asociadas a programas de integración interdiciplinar
Authors: Gonzalez Antunes Gabriela
Published: February 2022

Este trabajo es una recopilación bibliográfica que relaciona dos variables: Calidad de Vida y Estrategias de Afrontamiento. La primera de estas variables es entendida como las percepciones del individuo de su posición en la vida, en un tiempo y espacio determinado, en el contexto de la cultura y el sistema de valores en los que vive. En relación con sus objetivos, expectativas, estándares y preocupaciones. Mientras que, la segunda variable como los esfuerzos cognitivos y conductuales en constante cambio que se llevan a cabo para manejar, y sobreponerse a las situaciones específicas externas y/o internas que son evaluadas como excedentes o desbordantes de los recursos del individuo. Dicho esto, el presente estudio a través de una revisión bibliográfica ha podido dar cuenta de una relación altamente positiva en las variables, ya que, al poseer mayores herramientas de afrontamiento, el individuo logra percibir una mayor satisfacción con su vida. A su vez esta relación entre variables va emparejada a numerosos estudios y programas de integración interdisciplinar que tienen como objetivo generar una mirada integradora del vivenciar de los pacientes y sus familias.

Authors: Bracamonte Lorena María , Gonzalez-Argote Javier
Published: February 2022

Introducción: El liderazgo es la capacidad que tiene un individuo de influir sobre las personas y se clasifica de acuerdo con el estilo y como este es percibido. Ello determina en muchos casos la productividad del grupo. Buenas condiciones laborales se traducen en satisfacción laboral, pero para lograrlo se deben sortear problemas que deberán ser resueltos. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre liderazgo y la satisfacción laboral en un hospital de Buenos Aires en el primer semestre del 2021.Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y de corte transversal, con diseño observacional. Se utilizó como técnica la encuesta y como instrumento el cuestionario. Resultados y discusión: El 58,9% de los encuestados identifican el liderazgo democrático siendo mayor el transaccional con 71,2%. El 83,6% de los licenciados en enfermería están satisfechos con el estilo de liderazgo que son ejercidos. Se evidencia que existe relación entre el estilo de liderazgo y el nivel de satisfacción en el 100% de los enfermeros cuando el liderazgo es autocrático y transicional. El estilo de liderazgo más común en la administración de los servicios es el transformacional seguido por el transaccional y el democrático. Se identificó que no existe relación significativa entre estilos de liderazgo y satisfacción laboral, confirmado con la prueba de Chi- cuadrado de Pearson, obteniendo un valor 15,0 y p = 0,2414. Conclusiones: No existe relación entre el estilo de liderazgo y la satisfacción laboral del enfermero en un hospital de Buenos Aires, durante el periodo en estudio.

Despite green sugarcane harvesting being promoted in Thailand, with some limitations on the use of harvesting machines, green sugarcane harvesting is practiced manually in many sugarcane fields. Although the environmental benefit seems clear, this harvesting practice’s social implications are yet unknown. This study assessed social performances of green and burnt manual sugarcane harvesting in North-Eastern Thailand, the region hosting the largest sugarcane plantation area, using the Social Life Cycle Assessment technique. Data collection was undertaken by surveys. The performance reference points method was applied to assess the different stakeholder’s social performances. Key stakeholder groups examined were workers, local community, and farm owners. The main social issues included in this study are fair wages, working conditions, health and safety, local employment, economic development, social responsibility, and satisfaction of occupation. The results showed that the social performances of green and burnt sugarcane harvesting were generally similar except for the local community group. This is mainly due to the health impact of sugarcane burning on the local community. Different issues cause the farmers to harvest the burnt sugarcane; for example, labor shortage in the harvesting season and the difficult working conditions for green harvesting, causing the farm owners to bear higher costs. For these reasons, mechanized harvesting is suggested to help promote green harvesting to reduce local air pollution. However, technology development is in urgent need to make the harvesting machines more affordable and applicable to all geographical conditions.

Introdução: Ações de controle dos cânceres do colo do útero e de mama têm sido monitoradas no Brasil por meio da utilização de dados disponíveis nos sistemas de informação que registram exames de rastreamento e investigação diagnóstica desses cânceres. Objetivo: Avaliar a cobertura dos sistemas de informação para o controle dos cânceres do colo do útero e de mama do Brasil. Método: Estudo transversal utilizando dados de exames citopatológicos do colo do útero, histopatológicos do colo do útero e de mama, e mamografias, registrados no Siscolo, Sismama, Siscan e SIA/SUS, segundo Região e Unidade Federativa entre 2008-2019. Calcularam-se as proporções anuais de exames informados apenas no SIA/SUS e realizou-se uma análise descritiva entre as Regiões e ao longo dos anos. Resultados: A cobertura foi maior para exames citopatológicos (perda de 20% no período) e menor para histopatológico de mama (perda de 37,1% no período). A partir de 2015, verificou-se menor cobertura para todos os exames e, em 2019, redução nos patamares de perda. Conclusão: A cobertura dos sistemas variou no período, sendo maior para citopatológicos do colo do útero, o que indica que o tempo é um importante fator na consolidação dos sistemas.

Background: The 2019 Coronavirus Outbreak (COVID-19) is a global health emergency. Several methods are used to diagnose COVID-19, including the RT-PCR and the Rapid Antigen Test. Purpose: The aim of this analysis is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the RT-PCR and the Rapid Antigen Test methods. Method : The information for this study came from three sources (Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar), and a literature search was conducted in October 2020. MeSH and a checklist prism were used to see if the analysis was feasible (title, abstract, and full text). The data is tabulated and a narrative analysis is used to present the information. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria as a result of this study. The existing study is divided into two parts based on the theme: sensitivity, specificity of the RT-PCR method and the sensitivity, specificity of the antigen rapid test method(n=10) and the sensitivity, specificity of the antigen rapid test method(n=2). Sex, symptoms, Ct value determination, sensitivity values, and logistical constraints are some of the factors that influence the analysis of the RT-PCR process. Meanwhile, the type of sample, the officer who takes the swab, the duration of exposure, the virus material, and other confounding factors all affect the rapid test antigen method's review. Result : The sensitivity values for the Rapid Antigen Test using RT-PCR were 50.5% -100% and 11.7%-93.9%. The Rapid Antigen Test by RT-PCR has a specificity of 98.4%-100% and a 92%-100%. Conclusion: The RT-PCR is superior to the Rapid Antigen Test in terms of sensitivity and specificity.
