Published: June 2024

Potato industry supports millions of people worldwide and plays a significant role in the global food security. It is an important pillar to Kenyas’ economy. Low yields in potato production is a key challenge in Kenya, with an average yield of 9.8 metric tonnes per hactare, far below other major potato world producers, and therefore need to boost sustainable productivity. Low productivity of potatoes as a key component in agricultural food value chain system is a major concern because of its’ impact on food security. The objective of this review was therefore to establish factors contributing to the low yields and mitigation strategies to strenghten farmers’ resiliency against these challenges for enhanced sustainable productivity. Factors established attributed to the low yields include quality seeds inadequacy, climate change adverse effects, poor agronomic practices, pests, diseases and inadequacy in supportive services. Principles guiding resiliency in socio-ecological systems were considered as a guide to a pathway through which irish potato farmers resiliency can be strengthened against these factors. Mitigation measures identified and recommended include enhancing accessibility of quality seed by farmers; promotion of digital agricultural solutions and advisory services; adaptation of climate smart agricultural innovations practices; capacity building of farmers on good agronomic practices; implementation of developed policies to cushion farmers from exploitation; formation and strengthening of farmer groups and associations; development of appropriate infrastructures; supporting of research and extension.

How do debates surrounding animal welfare intersect with efforts to control 'Invasive alien species'?
Authors: Liu Kedi
Published: June 2024

How would you define “invasive alien species”? Have you met any of theseindividuals? Do you understand their life experiences? There is an immenselyintertwined linkage between ecology and language. Namely, “how humans treateach other and the natural world is influenced by our thoughts, concepts, ideas,ideologies and world-views” (Stibbe 2021, 2). Which are actively shaped andperpetuated by language. So what do we mean when we use the phrase “invasivealien species”? Languages and discourses have been exploited to perpetuateinequalities, hidden in our everyday communication “of unlimited economicgrowth as the main goal of society” (Stibbe 2021, 3). Theorised by critical discourseanalyst Teun Van Dijk (2006, 139), ideologies are often “mapped onto discourse”,typically “expressed in terms of their own underlying structures”, such as thefrequent use of “us” and “the others”. This paper is guided by the perspective ofcritical animal and media studies, which insists the vitalness of revelation of hownonhuman animals are communicated. It explores the phenomena of “invasivespecies management” from three areas: (i) discourse-adaptation which helps tojustify this on-going act; (ii) the main beneficiaries of such conduct; and (iii) ethicalconcerns for such human intervention. The aim is to investigate the justifiedcruelty that is majorly overlooked, and purposely hidden by mainstreaminformation sources, searching for a fuller picture of the reality of “invasive speciesmanagement”.

In this study, we aimed to describe the relationship between the clinical, laboratory, and lung computed tomography (LCT) characteristics of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and determine the severity of pneumonia in these patients.
Methods: The pneumonia severity index (PSI) score system, LCT images, and laboratory parameters at the time of first presentation to the emergency department were examined to assess the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia in 225 adult patients.
Results: In this study, a significant relationship was found between COVID-19-associated mortality and male gender (p=0.045), advanced age (p

A key question in evolutionary epidemiology is to determine differences in the conditions that may allow some mutant strains to spread in a population where a resident strain is already circulating. Evolutionary invasion analyses assume that the immunity is long-lasting for previously infected individuals making it difficult to study straits such as immune escape. We relax this last assumption and allow the environment faced by the mutant to fluctuate outside of any epidemiological equilibrium. We introduce an original two-strains non-Markovian model that accounts for realistic immunity waning and cross-immunity, inspired by the case of SARS-CoV-2 variants. We show that mutants with increased contagiousness or with some immune escape abilities are more likely to invade the population. We also show that the timing of the introduction of mutant strain in the population is key because it is associated with the population’s immunisation status. Our results underline the importance of immune waning and non-equilibrium dynamics of infectious disease evolution.

Self-efficacy, which is a key determinant of physical activity (PA), fluctuates in a specific way for each individual and is influenced by emotional or physiological states. However, studies have only investigated the temporal variability of self-efficacy at the between-person level and excluded people with severe psychological distress, whereas depressive and anxiety symptoms could have a negative effect on self-efficacy patterns. We examined the effects of a 12-week PA intervention on daily self-efficacy level among women with breast cancer and psychological distress. Series of N-of-1, with an ABA’ design, were carried out. Phase A and A’ (2 weeks each) represented pre- and post-intervention measures. During the 16 weeks of the study, sixteen participants daily reported their self-efficacy, depression, and anxiety levels. A significant increase of self-efficacy for PA has been found for 9 participants during and/or after the intervention phase. Different temporal patterns of self-efficacy were observed during those phases.
Pupil size at encoding predicts the temporal structure of memory

Episodic memories are temporally organized: items experienced close together in time during encoding are later remembered together. We examined how spontaneous attentional fluctuations during encoding, measured with pupil diameter, affect this temporal organization. We hypothesized that smaller pupil sizes would index worse attentional states that disrupt the ability to link items over time. Healthy young adults (N = 71) encoded object images while eye tracking was performed. Memory was tested with free recall. We then examined recall organization as a function of pupil size at encoding. As hypothesized, the temporal structure of recall was disrupted when pupil sizes were smaller vs. larger at encoding. Secondary analyses showed that these results were specific to pupil diameter: fluctuations in response times predicted task errors but not the temporal organization of memory. Together, these results show that pupil size provides a window into the cognitive operations that shape the temporal structure of memory.
Exploring Mental Health Literacy in Canada: A Mixed-Method Cross-Sectional Study

Mental health literacy (i.e., mental health-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior; MHL) may be a key to reducing the burden of mental illness on the health system and to improving the overall population’s mental health through facilitating upstream mental health promotion. The purpose of this mixed-method study is to explore the correlates of MHL in Atlantic Canada and assess the ability of residents to correctly diagnose a disorder, identify potential causes, and propose suitable treatments based on the medical model or a social prescribing model. A sample of Atlantic Canadians (N = 254) participated in this cross-sectional study which included vignettes and measures of overall MHL, level of contact with people living with mental illness, and social distance preferences from people with mental illness. We found that a) social connections were more commonly prescribed for generalized anxiety relative to the medical model treatment recommendations, b) panic disorder was least likely to be correctly identified, c) general anxiety was disproportionately thought to be caused by external factors, d) only social distance predicts MHL beyond demographics and level of contact, and e) household (not individual) conservative orientation negatively predicts MHL. Efforts to improve MHL and thus reduce the burden of mental illness on the Atlantic Canada health system could be informed by increasing knowledge of the causes and treatments of generalized anxiety disorder, increasing residents’ ability to recognize disorders beyond depression (e.g., panic disorder), and reduce stigma by fostering comfort for those living near individuals with mental illness.
Inconclusive prospective effect of sleep delay on problematic smartphone use: A simulated reanalysis and comment on Zhao et al. (2024)
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Bo
Published: June 2024

Based on findings from analyses with cross-lagged panel models, Zhao et al. (2024) concluded that sleep delay may increase problematic smartphone use (PSU). Here, we simulated data to resemble the data used by Zhao et al. We used triangulation and fitted complementary models to the simulated data and found contradicting increasing and decreasing effects of initial sleep delay on subsequent change in PSU. These divergent findings suggest that it is premature to assume an increasing effect of sleep delay on PSU and the conclusion by Zhao et al. in this regard can be challenged. It is important for researchers to be aware that correlations, including adjusted cross-lagged effects, do not prove causality in order not to overinterpret findings, something that appears to have happened to Zhao et al. We recommend researchers to triangulate by fitting complementary models to their data in order to evaluate if observed effects may be due to true causal effect or if they appear to be spurious.
Psychological Distress and Negative Life Events Among University Stu-dents: Mapping Patterns of Exposure and Impact

Published: June 2024

Background: Early adulthood and commencing university coincide with new life circumstances for many students which increases exposure to negative life events (NLE). Such events can have lasting impacts on student mental health. An exploratory study was conducted in a student sample to examine the frequency of NLE, event co-occurrence, and associated mental health outcomes. Methods: Six-hundred-and-fifty university students completed the Negative Life Events Scale for Students and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale. Normative data was examined for NLE’s experienced by women and men across the lifespan, and in the last 12-months to provide an overview of students’ experience. An exploratory factor analysis on the experience of NLE in the last 12-months examined co-occurrence of events and associated vulnerability. Results: Ninety-eight percent of students experienced at least one NLE, and 50% were experienced in the last 12-months. Events relating to academic problems and domestic violence were associated with poorer mental health, were common, and occurred relatively recently. Six factors were identified demonstrating some NLE co-occur. Conclusions: These findings confirm the high prevalence of NLE among university students, with psychological/addiction issues and academic pressures had the strongest associations with poorer mental health. Findings may inform targeted student mental health support programs.
