Published: May 2023

Background: Bariatric surgery is gaining popularity, particularly in women of child-bearing age and its impact on future reproductive potential and pregnancies is indeed an important consideration in a country with a high prevalence of obesity. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to identify the effect of bariatric surgeries on subsequent pregnancies complications and outcomes, labour and neonatal complications, as well as future fertility. Methods: This study involved a single-center retrospective review of 66 females of reproductive age (18–48 years old) who underwent bariatric surgery in the period of 2014 and 2020, and their pregnancy and reproductive circumstances were compared pre and post surgery. Data was obtained through an online questionnaire filled by data collectors through a phone interview with the participants, in addition to reviewing their past medical records. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Results: The results revealed a significant increase in the incidence of low-birthweight infants post bariatric surgery (p = 0.041), compared to the same participants’ pregnancies before surgery. In addition, significant decrease in the incidence of gestational diabetes was demonstrated. Women in this study were also less likely to have a miscarriage after the bariatric surgery. Conclusions: Pregnancy following bariatric surgery poses potential challenges regarding reproductive outcomes, despite the positive impact of weight reduction. Further future large scale, multi-center research is required to fully understand the reproductive and obstetric implications of bariatric surgery. Moreover, Patients should receive education on the effect of bariatric surgery on their future pregnancies.

Background: One main issue to be considered in young patients diagnosed with early breast cancer (BC) is the impact of oncological treatments on fertility and future chances of conception. Current guidelines recommend a comprehensive addressing of oncofertility as part of the management of premenopausal BC patients, including counselling on available assisted reproduction technologies and fertility preservation (FP) strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic represented a potential hurdle to the integration of these procedures into clinical practice. This study aims to describe the time-related evolution in addressing oncofertility issues. Methods: This retrospective mono-institutional observational study considered 206 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) or adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET), diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40 or younger in the years 2014–2015 and 2020–2021. Time-related evolution in addressing oncofertility during oncological consultations and adoption of a fertility or ovarian function preservation (OFP) method were analyzed comparing the two different timeframes. Results: Comparing the two cohorts 2014–2015 and 2020–2021, we found a significant difference in the presence of fertility discussion records (37.4% vs 57.9%, p < 0.01), and in the application of OFP/FP techniques (54.5 vs 78.5%, p < 0.01). In the two cohorts there was a significant difference in OFP (57.6% vs 70%, p = 0.03) and FP techniques application rates (5.1% vs 19.6%, p < 0.01). In the study population, age at diagnosis resulted to influence clinicians’ approach towards counseling and/or OFP/FP strategies (87.3% in patients <35 years old (yo) vs 56.7% in older patients, p < 0.01). In the 2020–2021 cohort, age resulted less influential in the choice of using an OFP/FP strategy (87% vs 72.1%, p = 0.18). A higher rate of documented fertility discussion and/or OFP/FP techniques application was recorder in patients who had not had children before BC diagnosis (80.6% vs 64.5%, p = 0.02). When considering only the 2020–2021 timeframe, parity no longer significantly affected the prescription of an OFP/FP strategy (80.4% vs 78.3%, p = 0.93). Conclusions: This study on real world data demonstrates the progressive evolution in the way clinicians approach oncofertility issues, showing a greater attention across years, with more BC patients receiving a dedicated counseling, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: Sexual and reproductive health is an integral part of the health and well-being of adolescents. In this paper, the authors summarized the outline of the problems of sexual violence against children, with special emphasis on that against girls. The commentary was written from the point of view of general gynaecologists, sexologists, obstetrics and gynaecology nurses, clinical psychologist, and dermatologist. Mechanism: For the convenience of the readers’ better understanding, we described things in the following order; first, we explained the concept of child sexual abuse, then we discussed symptoms of sexual violence against children, and special attention was given to the issue of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD). Lastly, we emphasized general principles of physical diagnostics in the case of suspicion of sexual harassment of children. Findings in Brief: This work reveals the importance of holistic care of sexual assault victims. Conclusions: The cooperation of gynaecologists with dermatologists, medical examiners, paediatricians, psychologists, and dieticians is essential to interdisciplinary collaboration for children. Acquaintance by doctors with symptoms that can be a sign of sexual abuse of a child is necessary. If they appear in the form of physical injuries or STDs, they will probably be possible to diagnose only by medical service.

Background: Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress accelerates the process of apoptosis in tissues. Dilleniaindica (DI) is a medicinal plant, and its fruit contains many therapeutic properties. The therapeutic activity of the Methanolic Fruit Extract (MFE) of DI in attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis in the liver and kidney tissues of alloxan-induced diabetic mice was analyzed in the present study. Methods: High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profiling of MFE was conducted. GLUT4 protein expression analysis and lipid peroxidation assays were conducted to check for MFE effect by administering in diabetic mice. An ultrastructural study was conducted for both the tissues. In apoptotic studies, the TUNEL assay and apoptotic protein expression analysis was conducted. Results: High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profiling of MFE showed the presence of two crucial antioxidants, ascorbic acid, and naringenin. In GLUT-4 protein expression analysis, MFE suppresses hyperglycemia by upregulating GLUT4 protein expression. Lipid peroxidation assay showed a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) upon MFE administration in diabetic mice. An ultrastructural study was conducted, and MFE was found to restore cellular alterations in diabetic tissues. In apoptotic studies, the TUNEL assay shows that MFE treatment showed fewer apoptotic cells than the diabetic group. The study also observed decreased caspase 3 protein expression and increased Bcl-2 protein expression. Conclusions: Therefore, it is inferred from the study that MFE can exert a protective effect by suppressing hyperglycemia and modulating oxidative stress and apoptosis in alloxan-administered diabetic mice.

Africa, a continent of 1.3 billion people, had 326 researchers per one million people in 2018 (Schneegans, 2021; UNESCO, 2022), despite the global average for the number of researchers per million people being 1368 (Schneegans, 2021; UNESCO, 2022). Nevertheless, a strong research community is a requirement to advance scientific knowledge and innovation and drive economic growth (Agnew, et al., 2020; Sianes, et al., 2022). This low number of researchers extends to scientific research across Africa and finds resonance with genomic projects such as the African BioGenome Project (Ebenezer, et al., 2022).The African BioGenome project (AfricaBP) plans to sequence 100,000 endemic African species in 10 years (Ebenezer, et al., 2022) with an estimated 203,000 gigabases of DNA sequence. AfricaBP aims to generate these genomes on-the-ground in Africa. However, for AfricaBP to achieve its goals of on-the-ground sequencing and data analysis, there is a need to empower African scientists and institutions to obtain the required skill sets, capacity and infrastructure to generate, analyse, and utilise these sequenced genomes in-country. The Open Institute is the genomics and bioinformatics knowledge exchange programme for the AfricaBP (Figures 1 & 2). It consists of 10 participating institutions including the University of South Africa in South Africa and National Institute of Agricultural Research in Morocco. It aims to: develop biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics curricula targeted at African scientists, promote and develop genomics and bioinformatics tools that will address critical needs relevant to the African terrain such as limited internet access, and advance grassroot knowledge exchange through outreach and public engagement such as quarterly training and workshops.

Published: May 2023

Many commercial data acquisition and processing solutions use proprietary formats for data storage. This often leads to data being locked up in formats that are only accessible by using the original software, which may lead to problems when the software becomes unsupported, changed or otherwise unavailable. Therefore, strategies should be established to ensure long-term, independent, and unified access to data in such formats. This access is particularly important when valuable medical experiments cannot be repeated easily. In this work, we demonstrate PyDapsys, a solution to gain open access to data that was acquired using a proprietary recording system. PyDapsys enables us to open the recorded files directly in Python and therefore secures efficient and open access to existing and prospective data. It further allows a direct streamline into the developed open-source software for microneurography data analysis.
The Nature of Online Talk: Incivility of Opposing Views and Affective Polarization
Authors: Goel Natasha , Merkley Eric
Published: May 2023

Affective polarization is on the rise. Increasing polarization is often attributed to the nature of political discussion on social media platforms, but little is known about the affective consequences of the incivility of online discussion. This study adopts a trust game to consider whether people punish the incivility of both out-partisans and co-partisans and whether there are gender-related differences in punishment. It also examines whether incivility can have spillover effects on broader out-party hostility. Five pre-registered hypotheses are tested using a pair of survey experiments fielded to a sample (N=974) of adult Canadian partisans. We find that participants punish the incivility of co-partisans but not out-partisans. However, incivility may spill over and heighten hostility towards out-parties more generally. Finally, we do not find evidence that women are more likely to be punished for incivility. Our findings highlight significant nuance with respect to the effects of incivility on trust and affective polarization, as well as the expectations of civility people hold for individuals online.

Internal attention modulates the functional state of novel stimulus-response associations in working memory
Authors: Formica Silvia , Palenciano Ana F , Vermeylen Luc , Myers Nicholas E. , Brass Marcel , González-García Carlos
Published: June 2023

Information in working memory (WM) is crucial for guiding behavior. However, not all WM representations are equally relevant simultaneously. Current theoretical frameworks propose a functional dissociation between ‘latent’ and ‘active’ states, in which relevant representations are prioritized into an optimal (active) state to face current demands, while relevant information that is not immediately needed is maintained in a dormant (latent) state. In this context, task demands can induce rapid and flexible prioritization of information from latent to active state. Critically, these functional states have been primarily studied using simple visual memories, with attention selecting and prioritizing relevant representations to serve as templates to guide subsequent behavior. It remains unclear whether more complex WM representations, such as novel stimulus-response associations, can also be prioritized into different functional states depending on their task relevance, and if so how these different formats relate to each other. In the present study, we investigated whether novel WM-guided actions can be brought into different functional states depending on current task demands. Our results reveal that planned actions can be flexibly prioritized when needed and show how their functional state modulates their influence on ongoing behavior. Moreover, they suggest the representations of novel actions of different functional states are maintained in WM via a non-orthogonal coding scheme, thus are prone to interference.
Observed Correlations between Person-means Depend on Within-person Correlations
Authors: Haslbeck Jonas M B , Epskamp Sacha
Published: June 2023

Intensive longitudinal data have become a common data type across psychological disciplines in the last decade. A key issue in the analysis of such data is the separation of within-person and between-person effects. This problem is well studied for the effect of between-person effects, such as varying intercepts, on within-person parameters, such as cross-lagged effects. In this paper, we discuss a less appreciated effect of within-person correlations on correlations between person-wise means. Using simulations and an analytical derivation, we show how observed correlations between personwise means are a function of both population between-person correlations and within-person correlations. This has implications for the interpretation of statistical relationships between personwise means, for example when estimated directly from the data or within stepwise approaches to estimating multilevel vector autoregressive models, such as in the popular R package mlVAR. We discuss implications for applied research and possible strategies to avoid this problem.

Policy Agenda Setting in Public Health Dentistry: Implementing North America’s First Universal School-Based Dental Program in Saskatchewan
Authors: Marchildon Gregory P.
Published: May 2023

Abstract.

The Saskatchewan Dental Plan in Canada was the first universal dental care plan for children in North America. Based on a similar New Zealand program, it would take over two decades from the time that the provincial government first considered the New Zealand policy until a final decision was made to implement the program. This article reviews the reasons for the long gestation of the policy, including the hostility of organized dentistry in Saskatchewan and Canada and the caution of the government’s bureaucracy. It would take until a social democratic government was elected in 1971 before the political stream joined with the pre-existing problem and policy streams to open the policy window. Established in 1974, the program was terminated in 1987 due to opposition of organized dentistry combined with the pro-market ideology of a newly elected government.
Mobilisation et participation citoyennes par les procès environnementaux : le laboratoire des contentieux climatiques
Authors: Rochfeld Judith
Published: May 2023

Certaines des mobilisations actuelles revendiquant des politiques climatiques plus offensives revêtent les formes du « procès climatique ». Sous cette formule, on entend réunir toutes les actions en justice menées par des individus ou des associations, (quand ce ne sont pas des collectivités territoriales ou des villes) à l’encontre d’États jugés insuffisamment actifs en matière de lutte contre le dérèglement climatique ou d’entreprises considérées comme particulièrement impliquées dans des émissions de gaz à effet de serre nocives. Or, si l’utilisation du procès en tant qu’outil de mobilisation d’une société civile et d’« arènes » de débat ne constitue nullement une nouveauté, ceux « climatiques » présentent néanmoins quelques particularités qui poussent à formuler et vérifier l’hypothèse selon laquelle ils composeraient une forme de gouvernance citoyenne, marginale et polycentrique, d’un grand commun mondial.
Du refus du nucléaire aux mobilisations contre le charbon : les mouvements environnementalistes allemands entre bifurcation et imbrication
Authors: Hebert Jules , Schmid Lucile
Published: May 2023

Au long de la décennie 1970, alors que l’Allemagne est séparée par le rideau de fer, des mouvements environnementalistes puissants se développent. En Allemagne de l’Ouest le refus de l’implantation des centrales nucléaires réunit agriculteurs, militants pacifistes et écologistes ; à l’Est ce sont les enjeux de qualité de vie face à aux pollutions industrielles qui sont déterminants. Le parti des Verts allemands ( Grünen) créé en 1980, est issu de ces mouvements. Il a installé sa légitimité institutionnelle en confortant les mouvements environnementalistes dans son action au pouvoir dans les Länder, à l’échelle fédérale ensuite. Autour d’épisodes emblématiques comme le renoncement à construire la centrale de Wyhl, ou l’action des rebelles de l’électricité de Schönau qui préfigure la transition énergétique citoyenne ( Bürgerenergiewende), les enjeux énergétiques sont devenus un sujet de débat démocratique. En 2023, la sortie du charbon, et particulièrement du lignite, se pose désormais avec acuité alors qu’un tiers de l’électricité allemande en est issue. De nouveaux mouvements, comme Ende Gelände, nourris par les mobilisations climatiques de la jeunesse dans le monde et en Europe, occupent mines et villages, dénonçant la mollesse des gouvernements et exigeant des engagements immédiats. Alors que les Grünen sont partie prenante du gouvernement depuis 2021, et que la guerre en Ukraine retarde la transition vers une économie décarbonée, ces mouvements déterminés, organisés et médiatiques annoncent une nouvelle étape de l’écologie politique allemande.

The article deals with the problem of the typology of the blended learning models that require the certain didactic conditions. In this regard, the various approaches to classifying blended learning models and determining its didactic nature in American, European and Russian scientific literature are analyzed. A critical view is offered on the research experience of the blended learning modeling, interpretation of the concepts of «the didactic conditions» and «the organizational-didactic model». The purpose of this article is to analyze the scientific understanding of the blended learning models typology and related didactic conditions. This led to the use of the comparative analysis methods and generalization. The results of the study show that the idea of the didactic nature of the blended learning, which combines technological and pedagogical principles, has become permanent in the scientific literature. Blended learning requires developed electronic information environment containing high-quality and diverse content that can form an individual learning trajectory, provide a personal virtual educational space, and monitor and record student learning achievements. And the didactic role of the teacher is also changing, who cannot do without confident IT competencies. He is responsible for shaping the content of the educational program, strengthening the individual approach to learning, and managing the planning of training. Existing attempts to classify blended learning models are, as a rule, incomplete and boil down to identifying a set of modeling criteria. As an illustration, examples of the optimal solutions to the problem of modeling and differentiation of didactic conditions are given, their influence on the teacher’s role and the requirements for a digital educational environment are shown.

In the current phase of research, we propose an attempt to reveal the concept and content of career directions from the perspective of training a professionally centered personal activity capable of communicating effectively. Foreign language training is an indivisible part of the general professional training at the university. In the psychological and pedagogical aspect, foreign language culture is another tool of communicative potential and a resource that provides opportunities for a future successful career. The reading skills development and foreign language receptive vocabulary understanding contribute to the lexical skills formation in professional communication and activity. The information-communication technologies use in teaching foreign languages and natural-science subjects in English at the higher education level plays a significant role in educational process. ICT technologies in the choice of the text content and vocabulary direct the learner to mobilize knowledge as much as possible, go to simplifying the vocabulary of the word stock, change the complex, unknown thing to the known, and simpler one, in order to still express the main and major content. This type of technology helps to solve a practical problem where students can present some results of work on the introduction and activation of foreign-language receptive vocabulary in a specific subject area and thematic section. Thus, the effectiveness of specialized professionally-orientated foreign language teaching in a non-linguistic university depends on the properly organized selection of technologies and the method of selecting vocabulary, dividing it into active and receptive, including it in various kinds of tasks and exercises

During the period of perestroika, new terms were thrown into the public consciousness, which led to the reformatting of many traditional values, concepts and categories. Conceptual confusion has led to the need to build models of social transformations and appropriate modeling of the consequences of government decisions. As an example of real practice, the state guidelines of social transformations, improvement of the public administration system in Kazakhstan, as well as difficulties in the implementation of the adopted regulatory legal acts are considered. Accordingly, the necessity of preliminary substantiation of the method of social transformations and modeling of interaction of subjects as the most important conditions for the adoption of regulatory legal acts of the country is justified. In the study, using the speculative language of schematic images and the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, an innovative method of transforming negative activity situations, in particular, preventing and resolving problems in the activity and interaction of subjects, is derived. This method is the basis for constructing the initial «cell» – a model of a system object. As an illustration, a sample of building an effective country is given. The results of the study are recommended for use as basic criterion units of analysis, design of regulatory legal acts and creation of consistent systems of activity.

The relevance of the research in this article is due to the problem of rendering the evaluation function of texts, taking into account their uniqueness and informative literacy in the use of various literary sources in the framework of the exclusion of plagiarism and a large proportion of borrowing. The purpose of the article is to develop methodological parameters of the model of writing and verification of written works with an analysis of their content in the fact of detecting plagiarism of writing texts. The leading method to investigate this problem was testing developed by V. Sinyavsky and B.A. Fedorishin's «Methodology for assessing communicative and organizational abilities», which allows us to identify the main functional characteristics necessary for performing written works with a high level of uniqueness, in the form of answers to questions or writing informational texts, which will allow us to identify the main methodological criteria in the development of study methods to avoid plagiarism, and also conducted a survey of teachers for significant factors assessment of knowledge in their diverse functioning when checking student texts. The article presents the methodological foundations of the model of writing and checking students' written works for their uniqueness, including factors for evaluating the competent information part, personal analysis based on conclusions and statements at the level of the degree of expression of personal attitude to the subject of the text, and methodical gradual disclosure of the topic based on the deep knowledge of the teaching staff of publications on a given topic, which will create the opportunity to see the borrowing of the text of other authors, the direction of thought and attitude to the described problem of the student, and it will also create conditions for timely corrective work in the identified elements that need this. The developed model of evaluation of written works creates conditions for the activation of independent work at the level of analysis, development of thinking, communication, search, which makes it possible to strengthen the quality of educational activities among students, and will avoid plagiarism at the level of other works, as well as create an opportunity to determine the availability of knowledge and skills at the level of the individual's personality, which is of practical importance for the field of education.
