This research is aimed at delivering an approach to managing project delay causes in the Nigerian oil and gas industry and explore methods of improving assets and project efficiency, by identifying the correlation between them, the leading causes of delays, their impact on project, and a proactive recovery approach towards managing delays.
Protocolo de enfermería para prevenir, detectar y tratar las crisis disreflexicas del lesionado medular durante la urodinamia
Authors: Caminal Araujo María , Castillo Mestres Eulàlia , Hernández Pena Elena , Cunyat Martínez Alexandra
Published: February 2025

Una lesión medular puede producir parálisis parcial o total
de la movilidad voluntaria, alteraciones o ausencia de sensibilidad por
debajo del nivel de la lesión. Prácticamente todo paciente con lesión
medular padecerá una disfunción en los esfínteres, tanto vesical como
intestinal, que afectará su calidad de vida. Por tanto, la mayoría de
los pacientes con lesión medular presentan alteraciones funcionales de
la micción, ya sea en la fase de llenado como en la fase de vaciado.
La alteración de la dinámica miccional cuyo origen se encuentra en la
función neurológica se denomina vejiga neurógena.

La urodinamia es una prueba diagnóstica destinada a estudiar el
funcionamiento de la vejiga cuando hay presente alguna disfunción
de ésta. Una de las complicaciones más comunes en lesión medular es la
disreflexia autonómica, definida como una serie de reacciones que se
pueden desencadenar por estímulos no necesariamente dolorosos, sobre todo
aquellos que irritan o molestan al intestino o a la vejiga. Principalmente
se produce en aquellos pacientes con una lesión medular a nivel T6 o
por encima de este. Las exploraciones urológicas como el estudio
urodinámico, mal posicionamiento de una SVP o su obstrucción es una
causa frecuente de disreflexia autonómica.

Uno de los principales síntomas de la disreflexia autonómica es un
aumento de la presión arterial, habitualmente acompañado de cefalea,
por este motivo es importante saber la presión sanguínea habitual de la
persona. A pesar de los importantes trastornos que puede provocar la
disreflexia autonómica, esta puede ser asintomática. Por ese motivo,
la principal actuación será el control de la tensión arterial del
paciente, antes de la prueba diagnóstica y durante la realización de
esta. El objetivo es detectar cualquier cambio sutil y actuar con
rapidez, para así evitar riesgos mayores.
Indigeneity as Alive: Tommy Orange's Framework for a Present Tense People in There There
Authors: Riggio Greg
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the postmodern framework Tommy Orange crafts in There There to challenge hegemonic conceptions of indigeneity. These monolithic representations set limits on Indigenous peoples’ ability to see themselves represented in the present tense real-world, thus, limiting their ability to see themselves as present tense peoples. As Orange’s narrator-character states, “We’ve been fighting for decades to be recognized as present-tense peoples, modern and relevant, alive, only to die in the grass wearing feathers.” This usage of feathers is a reference to the process of being made into a relic in the American marketplace and historical narrative. Another of Orange’s characters repeats this idea by referring to it as a photocopy of a copy of the image of an “Indian” in a textbook. This paper analyzes the postmodern literary techniques Orange uses to indigenize sources of power in the contemporary world in order to create strategies for Indigenous peoples living today to be modern, relevant, and alive.
Prosthetic Versus Embodied Memory in Westworld's "Kiksuya" and Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer
Authors: Johnson Colleen
Published: February 2025

The creation of human-passing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both science fiction and the real world must interrogate the importance of materiality and embodiment in the development of personal identity and consciousness. While it may seem that both Uta Briesewitz’s episode of Westworld, entitled “Kiksuya,” and Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer [Emotion Picture] work on a theory of memory as disembodied digitizable information, the films actually put forth a more nuanced theory of memory and identity that aligns with recent work in neurobiology which—as described by José van Dijck—claims that memory is constituted by sensory feeling and emotion rather than being just a function of data processing. This theory of memory is portrayed in both works by the traces of deleted memory still accessible to the lead characters and their ability to distinguish between embodied memories of lived experience and implanted prosthetic memories.

The Supermarket: Consumerism, Simulation, and the Fear of Death in Don DeLillo's White Noise
Authors: Hamdi Houda
Published: February 2025

Through a study of Don Delillo’s metafictional novel, White Noise, this paper portrays the ways in which the novel reflects upon the postmodern American world of consumerism and simulation. The space of the supermarket reveals not only the post-modern subject’s obsession with the erratic shopping mode of life, but also the detachment of the subject from the reality of the product he or she buys. Polyphony or the diversity of discourses, similar to the Bakhtin’s theory of the marketplace in his definition of the novelistic genre, translates the invasion of media communications, advertising, TV commercials, and conversations in the daily life of the contemporary fictional characters. These discourses, in their polyphonic aspect, function as mediated representations which obstructs the subject’s relationship with reality. This paper demonstrates that, behind the surface, the supermarket, as both a space and a metaphor for the world of Simulacra and consumerism, hides another existentialist issue—man’s fear of death. The supermarket is, therefore, not only interpreted as a metaphor for the American Simulacra and consumerism, but also as a self-reflexive element which, in Bakhtinian terms, reflects the polyphonic nature of the fictional world of the novel. The paper discusses Gladney couple’s defence mechanism strategies to defy or repress death, and the metafictional nature of ‘white Noise’ which fears its own hermeneutic closure, another name for death.
Identity and Difference: Understanding Subjectivity through Wittgenstein's Family Resemblances
Authors: Martorelli Paul
Published: February 2025

This paper examines how the traditional subject of identity politics might be reimagined to enable less regulated subjects capable of politically mobilizing on their own behalf. The paper reads the oral arguments of Hollingsworth v. Perry as a text that relies on and produces the modern subject, that is, a subject constituted as the sum and unity of its various identities. Studying Wittgenstein’s “family resemblances” as an account of a heterogeneous subject, the paper argues that this formation not only pluralizes the subject but also produces subjects capable of resisting the impulse to definitively determine membership criteria during political mobilization on behalf of particular identities.
Pain in someone else's body: Plural Subjectivity in Stargate SG-1
Authors: Ferebee K.M.
Published: February 2025

Lennard Davis, in his work on visualizing the disabled body, argues that at root the body is inherently and always already fragmented. The unified “whole body” is, therefore, hallucinatory in nature—an imaginary figure through which the body’s multiplicity is repressed. There is much in this view that is consonant with posthumanism, which so often seeks to destabilize the “whole” and singular one in favor of the multiple, the fragmentary, and the hybrid. Yet despite these considerations of the body as fragmentary, little attention has been paid to the value of considering the body not only as fragmentary, but also as potential fragment. What might we learn by rejecting anthropocentric assumptions about the body-mind’s inherent completeness, and exploring the radically plural ontologies offered by visions of shared, joint, or group body-minds? This paper turns to science fiction as a source of such visions, considering depictions of symbiotic and hive minds through the non-traditional models of ontology and agency. While science fiction has traditionally represented plural being as a troubling and fearful injury to wholeness, this paper aims to highlight the symbiotic Tok’ra of television series Stargate SG-1 as a model of excess being that not only challenges the naturalization of the “complete” body, but also asks us to interrogate presumed boundaries between self and other.
Cyborg Incorporated: Mechanics, Aesthetics, and Cyborg Narrativity in David Cronenberg's Videodrome and eXistenZ
Authors: Robaard Meike
Published: February 2025

Reflecting on the ubiquity of screens in contemporary life, this paper seeks to suggest that we inhabit a “cyborgian condition” in which (human) bodies (and self-understanding) are composed with technology. Upon analyzing David Cronenberg’s Videodrome (1983) and eXistenZ (1999), and in engaging with existent theoretical discourse, this paper studies the movement and appearance of arguably posthuman performing bodies on the screen, and the ways in which they can be accounted for as special narrative vehicles. Drawing upon Donna Haraway’s primarily text-based exploration of the cyborg’s radical potentiality, and Daniel Punday’s literary analysis of corporeal narratology, this paper introduces the concept of “cyborg narrativity” by emphasizing the unique “aesthetic” and “mechanical” properties of cinematic (that is, visual) storytelling. In examining cyborg typologies and presenting “cyborg narrativity” as a way of approaching the “new” body image(s) that technological changes propel, this paper incorporates Cronenberg as a co-theorist, making visible new ways of understanding “being(s) in technology.”
A Doctor's Lasting Echo: The Unspoken Cry for Help
Authors: Lindley Katarina
Published: February 2025

In the hallowed halls of medicine, where life and death dance a delicate cotillion, there exists a shadow seldom spoken of the suicide of doctors. This essay is not a statistical analysis or a call to action; it's a lament, a heartfelt reflection on the lives of those who, paradoxically, save lives while silently suffering.

Doctors, often perceived as invincible heroes, are in reality, just as vulnerable as the patients they care for. The relentless pursuit of perfection in the medical profession leaves little room for personal struggles. This is where the story unfolds, in the silent corners of a physician's mind where despair can take root.

Authors: Blomberg Per
Published: February 2025

In recent decades, the statistics education community has focused extensively on research aimed at modernising mathematics curricula by integrating powerful statistical concepts relevant to the 21st century. As a result, the professional development needs of statistics teachers are evolving. There is an increasing demand for teachers to be well-equipped to teach foundational statistical concepts, including inferential statistics, and gaining these insights has become essential. This paper presents findings from an educational design research study conducted with participants in primary teacher education. The study outlines a design principle with three sub-components, intended to guide teacher training in statistical inference. The conclusion highlights the importance of statistical inference as a central theme in statistics education, with significant implications for school statistics and curriculum evaluation.
The use of spreadsheet tools in assessment: an instrumented technique perspective
Authors: Winnberg Mattias
Published: February 2025

A challenge in computer-based assessment, especially when introducing specific digital tools, is balancing mathematics assessment with students’ computer skills. This exploratory qualitative study aims to investigate aspects of student-tool-interaction, essential to consider when designing digital tools for assessment. Eight 15-year-old students worked in pairs with three digital test items employing interactive spreadsheet tools, followed by semi-structured interviews. The combined analysis of observations of students’ interactions with the items and the interviews indicates difficulties in using basic spreadsheet functions – despite their conceptual understanding of the tools. The main implications of the findings emphasize the importance of integrating digital tools into learning situations before assessment, and not taking basic tool-related techniques for granted.
INDONESIA’S DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: THE PATH OF STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES GLOBAL EXPANSION
Authors:   Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar, Bachtiar Farahdiba Rahma
Published: February 2025

Following the Asian Crisis, many believed that the era of the developmental state model had ended. However, amidst debates of pros and cons, there was a strong tendency to observe that, before the Jokowi administration, several Indonesian government policies were highly interventionist. This article examines the possibility that the developmental state model will no longer continue in Indonesia, which is merely a myth. Using a qualitative research approach that draws on various literature, including data from 2022–2024 and field research findings in Indonesia during the 2015–2021 period, this article argues that the developmental model has evolved toward a more practical and pragmatic approach. However, this article takes a different perspective than previous literature on Indonesia's developmental state model. By focusing on state-owned enterprises (SOEs) such as PT Perkebunan Nusantara, PT Semen Indonesia, and PT Pertamina, the article highlights three main points: first, the formation of holding companies enables SOEs to become strong economic players; second, the ambition behind the creation of these holdings is political; and third, the expansion trend reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening the role of SOEs in national development. These three points indicate that Indonesia has transformed into a neo-developmental state model, at least since the SBY administration, followed by Jokowi. Ultimately, although the global expansion policy faces challenges, this does not signify the failure of Indonesia as a developmental state.

Distributed optical fiber temperature measurement system is widely used in substation, power cable, natural gas transmission pipeline and other temperature measurement fields. It can continuously measure the temperature information of each position along the sensing. Raman distributed optical fiber temperature measurement system demodulates the temperature information based on Raman Stokes scattered light and anti-Stokes scattered light power, and the Raman scattering light power directly affects the temperature measurement accuracy. So, it is a challenging work to control the hardward of the system to ensure the feasiblity of the Raman sacttering signals. The laser pulse power, and the gain of avalanche photodetector may vary randomly in the system, resulting in fluctuations in the acquired Raman scattered light power data. Therefore, a scheme of Raman distributed fiber temperature measurement system based on dynamic calibration is proposed in this paper, and by setting the temperature calibration unit and combining the proposed power correction algorithm and the previous calibration data, the Raman Stokes scattered light and Raman anti-Stokes scattered light power are calibrated to the same laser pulse power level and avalanche photodetector gain, so as to improve the temperature measurement accuracy of the system. For the performance demonstration of the new scheme, the experimental system adopts 50ns laser pulse to carry out temperature measurement experiments with 4.6km long single-mode fiber. The results show that: within temperature measurement range from 35 ℃ to 95 ℃, based on the traditional temperature demodulation algorithm, the temperature deviation measured is within -5.8 ℃ to+1.0 ℃, and the root mean square error is 4.0 ℃, and by the dynamic calibration algorithm, the deviation of deviation measured is within -0.8℃ ~ +0.9℃ and the root mean square error is 0.5℃. Therefore, the new Raman distributed optical fiber temperature measurement system proposed in this paper has the function to dynamically correct the Raman scattered light power to surpress influence caused by instability of the key devices such as pluse laser, avalanche photodetector and improve the temperature measurement accuracy, which is valuable in practical engineering applications.

Male ejaculation acutely suppresses sexual motivation in male mice. In contrast, relatively little is known about how male ejaculation affects sexual motivation and sexual behavior in female mice. How the brain responds to completion of mating is also unclear. Here, by using self-paced mating assay, we first demonstrate that female mice show decreased sexual motivation acutely after experiencing male ejaculation. By using brain-wide analysis of activity-dependent labeling, we next pinpointed the medial preoptic area as a brain region strongly activated during the post-ejaculatory period. Furthermore, using freely moving
in vivo
calcium imaging to compare neural activity of inhibitory and excitatory neurons in the medial preoptic area, we revealed that a subset of the neurons in this region respond significantly and specifically to male ejaculation but not to female-to-male sniffing or to male mounting. While there were excitatory and inhibitory neurons that showed increased response to male ejaculation, the response magnitude as well as the proportion of neurons responding to the event was significantly larger in the inhibitory neuron population. Next, by unbiased classification of their responses, we also found a subpopulation of neurons that increase their activity late after the onset of male ejaculation. These neurons were all inhibitory indicating that male ejaculation induces a prolonged inhibitory activity in the medial preoptic area. Lastly, we found that chemogenetic activation of medial preoptic area neurons that were active during post-ejaculatory period, but not during appetitive or consummatory periods, were sufficient to suppress female sexual motivation. Together, our data illuminate the importance of medial preoptic area as a brain node which encodes a negative signal that sustains low sexual motivation state after the female mice experience ejaculation.

Los ecosistemas rocosos-coralinos poseen hábitats altamente heterogéneos y comunidades de peces funcionalmente diversas. En estos ecosistemas, los microhábitats coralinos juegan un papel importante al proporcionar un subconjunto de los recursos disponibles a la criptofauna, entre los que destacan los peces arrecifales criptobentónicos (PACB) por su alta abundancia y diversidad. Este grupo íctico, que mide menos de 5 cm de longitud en su etapa adulta, presenta un camuflaje visual y conductual altamente especializado, lo que a menudo resulta en su subrepresentación en los estudios. Debido a la escasez de estudios y la alta complejidad taxonómica de los PACB, exploramos la asociación entre los PACB y el coral masivo Porites panamensis en Bahía de los Ángeles, Golfo de California, y el sustrato rocoso. Hipotetizamos que la densidad de PACB será mayor en microhábitats coralinos debido a que estos microhábitats son tridimensionalmente más complejos. Se realizaron 2 muestreos extractivos en marzo y octubre de 2022 (n = 16). En total, se recolectaron 238 individuos de 14 especies de peces pertenecientes a 5 familias; el 76.62% de la abundancia total estuvo representada por 5 especies, y las familias Gobiidae, Tripterygiidae y Chaenopsidae fueron las mejor representadas. La densidad promedio de PACB en los microhábitats de P. panamensis fue 2 veces mayor que en los microhábitats rocosos (W = 46.5, P = 0.036). Además, la estructura y composición del ensamblaje de PACB fue diferente entre los microhábitats (Pseudo-​F = 4.41, P = 0.004). Los resultados demuestran la importancia de P. panamensis como microhábitat y su influencia en la configuración bentónica de los PACB. Ante el creciente deterioro de la cobertura coralina y la pérdida de la complejidad estructural del hábitat, los resultados de este estudio son cruciales para entender los cambios a largo plazo en la criptofauna.
The winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine – Victor Ambros and Gary Ravcan
Authors: Borinskaia Svetlana
Published: February 2025

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2024 has been awarded to American biologists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Short RNA molecules that bind to messenger RNAs and suppress protein synthesis on them were discovered by Ambros and Ruvkun in the early 1990s in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, used in biological laboratories as a model animal. Over time, it turned out that these short molecules, called microRNAs, along with other protein-non-coding RNAs, play an important role in controlling cellular processes not only in the nematode in which they were first discovered, but also in multicellular plants and animals and some single-celled organisms. MicroRNAs play an important role in the evolution of morphological diversity, which grows not so much due to the emergence of new genes, but due to the complication of cellular «bureaucracy», the processes of controlling the switching on and off of genes in different tissues and organs at different stages of individual development. Currently, the use of microRNA as a diagnostic biomarker of human and animal diseases and as a basis for the development of new approaches to the treatment of various diseases is being studied.
Three Battles of the Duke of Burgundy: The Behaviour of John the Fearless on the Battlefield
Authors: Ernazarov Kamil
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of medieval military leadership on the example of one of the most famous commanders of the late Middle Ages – John the Fearless. The study focuses on the changing behavior of the duke on the battlefield. To study John’s behavioral patterns, we use modern reconstructions of battles in which the duke took part, literary works that the ruler could read, texts by the duke himself, and information about the cultural attitudes of chivalry in the late Middle Ages. An analysis of the above material allows us to come to the following conclusions: a military leader could enter the battle from the first minutes of the battle like other warriors. Another model of behavior implied that the commander would not initially personally participate in the battle, being at the head of the main (central) detachment of the army. Following different patterns of behavior depended on the characteristics of the military campaign and the objectives of the opposing sides in the battle, on the status and personal experience of the commander and on the nature of the command of the army – united or individual.

Published: February 2025

Для крупных мегаполисов, лишённых значительных промышленных производств, вклад в повышение качества окружающей среды во многом обеспечивается переходом к более экологичным видам транспорта, в частности электротранспорту на водороде. В мире активно развиваются проекты по внедрению электротранспорта на водородных топливных элементах в городскую среду: автобусов, грузовых и легковых автомобилей, среди которых водоробус отечественной компании ПАО “КамАЗ”. Принципиальной необходимостью для эффективной эксплуатации транспортного средства в климатических зонах России служит система запуска энергоустановки при отрицательных температурах окружающей среды вплоть до -40 °С. Представленные в работе стратегии обеспечат сохранение мощностных характеристик батарей, что создаст преимущества для водородных энергоустановок при сравнении с литиевыми батареями.
On one approach to solving mixed problems for materials of different reologies
Authors: Babeshko Vladimir
Published: February 2025

The article proposes a unified approach that allows high-precision investigation of mixed, including contact problems for materials of different rheologies. This problem arose due to the emergence of new heterogeneous structural materials, anisotropic composites, electronic semiconductors, and the detection of changes in the properties of even homogeneous materials when their scales change. In this regard, it could be useful to study mixed and contact tasks used in structures in such way, so that the result remains true when changing the properties of materials, switching to other rheologies, changing external influences on the object. As a rule, in most publications, research and solutions of contact problems using analytical, asymptotic or numerical methods were limited to research for homogeneous materials in static or dynamic cases. One approach is proposed in this paper, which allows us to study and solve contact problems in the same way for a fairly wide range of anisotropic composites in static and dynamic modes. It is based on the application of the block element method and the properties of the series of exponents forming analytical functions.
Assessment of vulnerability of coastal zone ecosystems of the Sea of Azov. Economic development indices
Authors: Arkhipova Olga
Published: February 2025

The attractiveness of the coastal zone for economic development requires a comprehensive study of the potential of the natural complexes of these territories. Since coastal zones experience significant environmental stress, there is a need to build a model for assessing the vulnerability of coastal zone ecosystems based on the analysis of the existing system of indices. The object of the study is the economic space - the coast of the Sea of Azov, within the administrative-territorial entities of the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region. The purpose of the study is to assess the indices of economic development and their impact on the region’s ecosystems. The study is based on official statistics of the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region, as well as data on wetlands located in the study areas. Based on the analysis previously conducted by the authors, the object-pressure-endurance-resilience model was selected. The dynamics of the selected indices for the period from 2015 to 2021 was traced. To select the optimal economic development strategy (OEDS), one of the methods of multi-criteria analysis of alternatives was used. The result was a ranking of municipalities by their proximity to the OEDS. This study uses the Similarity Search method implemented in ArcGis Pro. Sustainable development of the coastal zone is a dynamic process that should ensure a balance of economic, social and environmental factors. It should be noted that there is a need to balance the economic development of territories and environmental protection measures.

Systemic hypertension in dogs is a clinically significant condition often associated with underlying diseases. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of hypertension in dogs. A total of 214 dogs (149 males and 65 females, irrespective of age and breed) were surveyed randomly at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, between May and October 2024. This study comprised of 81 clinically healthy dogs and 133 dogs diagnosed with various systemic co-morbidities. Blood pressure measurements were performed using a Doppler Vet BP machine following ACVIM guidelines (Acierno et al.,2018). Clinical Hypertension (SAP ≥160 mmHg) using Doppler NIBP was recorded in 39 dogs, resulting in an overall prevalence of 18.22%. Secondary hypertension was more common (27.81%) compared to primary hypertension (2.46%), reinforcing the strong association between hypertension and concurrent diseases. Age-wise analysis revealed a higher prevalence in dogs over 8 years (30%), suggesting an age-related predisposition. Male dogs (76.92%) were more frequently affected than females (23.07%). Breed predisposition was observed, with Labrador Retrievers (33.3%) and German Shepherds (23.07%) showing the highest occurrence.

Importance

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) can have an ischemic stroke (IS) despite oral anticoagulant (OAC) treatment. Knowledge regarding the association between OAC discontinuation and the subsequent risk of recurrent IS in patients with AF is limited.

Objectives

To determine the risk of recurrent IS in patients with AF receiving OAC and to evaluate the association between OAC discontinuation and the risk of recurrent IS.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This is a nationwide cohort study of patients aged 50 years or older in Denmark who had AF and an IS (entry IS) and were initiating or restarting subsequent OAC treatment after being discharged between January 2014 and December 2021. Patients were followed up for recurrent IS until June 2022. Within this study cohort, a nested case-control analysis was performed in which patients with recurrent IS were matched to patients receiving OAC who had not yet experienced a stroke. Data were analyzed from May 25, 2023, to April 18, 2024.

Exposure

Use of OAC at the time of recurrent IS or the equivalent date in matched controls based on redeemed prescriptions.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was recurrent IS. Crude and adjusted cumulative incidences of recurrent IS and all-cause mortality were calculated in cohort analyses, and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were determined for recurrent IS associated with OAC discontinuation in nested case-control analyses.

Results

The study cohort included 8119 patients (4392 [54.1%] male; mean [SD] age, 78.4 [9.6] years; median (IQR) CHA2DS2-VASc score, 4.0 [3.0-5.0]). Over a mean (SD) follow-up of 2.9 (2.2) years, 663 patients had a recurrent IS, of whom 533 (80.4%) were receiving OAC at the time of their recurrent IS. The crude cumulative incidence of recurrent IS at 1 year was 4.3% (95% CI, 5.9%-7.1%), and the crude cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 15.4% (95% CI, 14.7%-16.2%). Adjusted analysis showed similar results. Patients who discontinued OACs had a higher risk of recurrent IS (89 cases [13.4%], 180 controls [6.8%]; aOR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.57-2.89) compared with patients still receiving OAC.

Conclusions and Relevance

The risks of recurrent IS and mortality were high in patients with AF despite secondary prevention with OAC, and OAC discontinuation doubled the risk of recurrent IS compared with patients who continued OAC. This finding highlights the importance of OAC continuation and the need for improved secondary stroke prevention in patients with AF.
Determining Associations Between Intervention Amount and Outcomes for Young Autistic Children

Published: June 2024

Importance

Health professionals routinely recommend intensive interventions (ie, 20-40 hours per week) for autistic children. However, primary research backing this recommendation is sparse and plagued by methodological flaws.

Objective

To examine whether different metrics of intervention amount are associated with intervention effects on any developmental domain for young autistic children.

Data Sources

A large corpus of studies taken from a recent meta-analysis (with a search date of November 2021) of early interventions for autistic children.

Study Selection

Studies were eligible if they reported a quasi-experimental or randomized clinical trial testing the effects of a nonpharmacological intervention on any outcome in participant samples comprising more than 50% autistic children 8 years or younger.

Data Extraction and Synthesis

Data were independently extracted by multiple coders. Meta-regression models were constructed to determine whether each index of intervention amount was associated with effect sizes for each intervention type, while controlling for outcome domain, outcome proximity, age of participants, study design, and risk of detection bias. Data were analyzed from June 2023 to February 2024. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary predictor of interest was intervention amount, quantified using 3 different metrics (daily intensity, duration, and cumulative intensity). The primary outcomes of interest were gains in any developmental domain, quantified by Hedges g effect sizes.

Results

A total of 144 studies including 9038 children (mean [SD] age, 49.3 [17.2] months; mean [SD] percent males, 82.6% [12.7%]) were included in this analysis. None of the meta-regression models evidenced a significant, positive association between any index of intervention amount and intervention effect size when considered within intervention type.

Conclusions and Relevance

Findings of this meta-analysis do not support the assertion that intervention effects increase with increasing amounts of intervention. Health professionals recommending interventions should be advised that there is little robust evidence supporting the provision of intensive intervention.
