Background and AimsEndoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) is used for the histopathological diagnosis of any type of gastrointestinal disease. Few adverse events are experienced with this procedure; however, the actual rate of adverse events remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the current status of cases that experienced adverse events related to the EUS‐FNA procedure used for histopathologic diagnoses.MethodsA retrospective analysis of cases with EUS‐FNA‐related adverse events in Japanese tertiary centers was conducted by assessing the following clinical data: basic case information, FNA technique, type of procedural adverse events, and prognosis.ResultsOf the 13,566 EUS‐FNA cases overall, the total number of cases in which adverse events related to EUS‐FNA occurred was 234. The incidence of EUS‐FNA‐related adverse events was ~1.7%. Bleeding and pancreatitis cases accounted for ~49.1% and 26.5% of all adverse events, respectively. Bleeding was the most common adverse event with only seven cases requiring blood transfusion. In cases with neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatitis was the most frequent adverse event. Needle tract seeding because of EUS‐FNA was observed during the follow‐up period in only ~0.1% of cases with pancreatic cancer. There was no mortality because of adverse events caused by EUS‐FNA.ConclusionsThis study revealed that the adverse events‐related EUS‐FNA for histopathologic diagnoses were not severe conditions, and had low incidence.

AbstractPurposeTo investigate the effects of various types of Dead Sea mud (DSM) on skin barrier properties over a period of four weeks.MethodsThe effects of a 4‐week application of three types of DSM (as is mud, mud with extra Dead Sea salt, and over the shelf mud) on the barrier properties of normal skin were investigated. Preparations were applied onto forearms of healthy volunteers every other day for 4 weeks, and skin hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin, erythema level, skin pH, skin elasticity, dermal thickness, and collagen content were measured at predefined circular areas on subjects’ forearms at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 4 during the treatment phase and on week 5 following a 1‐week regression period in which no mud was applied.ResultsThe use of DSM for 4 weeks was well tolerated with no noticeable changes in TEWL, skin pH, melanin, and erythema levels. A slight firming effect was observed in the forearms treated with salted DSM. Skin hydration was not significantly affected by any type of DSM. However, a slight drying effect of “as is” and “salted” DSM and slight hydration effect of “over the shelf” DSM were observed. This effect could be attributed to the content of DSM rather than to disruption of skin integrity as confirmed by TEWL values.ConclusionLong‐term use of all types of DSM did not compromise the barrier integrity of the skin. This provides dermatologists with needed information on safety of DSM and lack of skin disruption activity upon long‐term use.
Recovery‐oriented nursing care based on cultural sensitivity in community psychiatric nursing
Authors: Matsuoka Sumiko 
Published: December 2020

AbstractTransforming to recovery‐oriented care is an urgent issue in community psychiatric nursing in Japan. Because traditional psychiatry is still influential, nurses are required to possess cultural sensitivity to objectively view conflicts between values when providing recovery‐oriented care. If recovery‐oriented care based on cultural sensitivity is clarified, it would help nurses providing recovery‐oriented care in non‐recovery‐oriented environments. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify recovery‐oriented nursing care based on cultural sensitivity in community psychiatric nursing in Japan. A semi‐structured interview with 21 community psychiatric nurses and participant observations for seven of them were performed. A qualitative description was undertaken to analyse the data. The relationships between categories were examined. The study conforms to the COREQ checklist. Through the analysis, six categories were revealed: 1. Continuously reflecting on one’s own practice and the influence of the traditional mental health culture; 2. Constructing a partnership with clients to uphold their rights and responsibilities; 3. Having client‐centred dialogue to help them enjoy life and grow; 4. Supporting clients’ lives and strengthening their self‐management; 5. Working as a team to achieve clients’ wishes, which includes some risks, and 6. Maintaining a relationship between clients and the people who care for them. Category 1 was central and enclosed by categories 2, 3 and 4. Categories 5 and 6 were located outside of categories 1 to 4. The results showed cultural sensitivity enables recovery‐oriented care even in non‐recovery‐oriented environments and include recognizing the traditional mental health culture, understanding clients’ experiences and accepting other’s values.
Another Look at the Lady Tasting Tea and Differences Between Permutation Tests and Randomisation Tests
Authors: Hemerik Jesse , Goeman Jelle J. 
Published: December 2020

SummaryThe statistical literature is known to be inconsistent in the use of the terms ‘permutation test’ and ‘randomisation test’. Several authors successfully argue that these terms should be used to refer to two distinct classes of tests and that there are major conceptual differences between these classes. The present paper explains an important difference in mathematical reasoning between these classes: a permutation test fundamentally requires that the set of permutations has a group structure, in the algebraic sense; the reasoning behind a randomisation test is not based on such a group structure, and it is possible to use an experimental design that does not correspond to a group. In particular, we can use a randomisation scheme where the number of possible treatment patterns is larger than in standard experimental designs. This leads to exactpvalues of improved resolution, providing increased power for very small significance levels, at the cost of decreased power for larger significance levels. We discuss applications in randomised trials and elsewhere. Further, we explain that Fisher's famous Lady Tasting Tea experiment, which is commonly referred to as the first permutation test, is in fact a randomisation test. This distinction is important to avoid confusion and invalid tests.

AbstractC/CoLaxFe2−xO4 (with x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) composites were compounded by using a high‐temperature hydrolysis. X‐ray Diffraction (XRD) and X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) results show that doping of La ions does not alter the spinel crystal structure and partially replaces Fe ions. Results of Field‐Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) mapping prove that with the doping of La ions, the grains are refined, and the carbon shell on the surface exists. The effect of doping of La ions on microwave absorption performance of the composites was systematically studied. It is found that an optimal reflection loss (RL) of −49.56 dB is achieved at 4.96 GHz, as the composition is C/CoLa0.2Fe1.8O4. Meanwhile, the sample C/CoLa0.3Fe1.7O4 shows excellent effective absorption bandwidth. Specifically, when the matching thicknesses are 4 and 5 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth is 4 GHz, covering the C band and Ku band, thus realizing multiband absorption. The synergistic effects of the enhanced dipole polarization related to the doping of La ions, improved interface polarization of the core‐shell structure, and the magnetic loss originated from CoLaxFe2−xO4 are responsible for the optimal microwave absorption performance. Therefore, this C/CoLaxFe2−xO4 composite material has the prospect of a multiband high‐efficiency microwave absorber.
Think Manager–Think Parent? Investigating the fatherhood advantage and the motherhood penalty using the Think Manager–Think Male paradigm
Authors: Morgenroth Thekla , Ryan Michelle K. , Sønderlund Anders L. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractMen remain overrepresented in leadership positions, due in part to a think manager–think male (TMTM) association whereby stereotypes of men are more similar to stereotypes of manager than are stereotypes of women. Building on research into the motherhood penalty and fatherhood advantage, we extend Schein's TMTM paradigm to investigate whether parenthood exacerbates the phenomenon. In Study 1 (N = 326), we find clear support for a fatherhood advantage, such that fathers are described as more similar to managers compared to either men in general, women in general, or to mothers. We did not find evidence for a motherhood penalty. Indeed, mothers, compared to women in general, were seen as more similar to managers (a motherhood advantage within women), while relative to fathers, mothers were seen as less similar to managers, thus, a gender penalty remained within parenthood. We replicate these findings in a preregistered Study 2 (N = 561), and further show that patterns are similar for ideal managers (prescriptive manager stereotypes, Study 1) and leaders more generally (Study 2). Taken together, the results suggest that gender and managerial stereotypes do not reveal a simple fatherhood advantage and motherhood penalty. Rather, stereotypes of parenthood may provide benefits for both mothers and fathers—suggestive of a parenthood advantage, at least in terms of stereotype content.

AbstractThe “triple burden” of aging population, hypertension, and mental health problems making elderly in Asia is more vulnerable. There is evidence of a bidirectional relationship between mental health and hypertension, which results in lower quality of life, lower rate of treatment adherence, and higher mortality among elderly individuals. It is essential to overcome known barriers and care for the elderly with high‐risk factors in order to address these burdens. This review revealed that elderly with hypertension were more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. Therefore, debunking myths, creating awareness regarding mental health, and increasing access to mental health resources through holistic community‐based programs would greatly reduce such problems and optimize the chances of success in controlling hypertension‐related problems.
Enhancing resistant starch content in brown rice using supercritical carbon dioxide processing
Authors: Matsubara Masahiro , Nakato Yasuhisa , Kondo Eiichi 
Published: December 2020

AbstractDietary fiber and resistant starch (RS) play a key role in suppressing the increase in blood glucose levels. Whole grains such as brown rice (BR) which have a higher content of dietary fiber and important nutrients, are common products used for the maintenance of human health. The higher RS content in BR is suggested to contribute significantly to blood glucose level maintenance in cooperation with dietary fiber. We aimed to enhance the RS levels in BR using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) processing which is typically undertaken by the reactor packed with BR and filled carbon dioxide in a state of supercritical fluids developed with above critical temperature and pressure, and a suitable operating duration as an alternative to conventional methods. This innovative process expectedly enhanced the RS content, promoted gelatinization, and eliminated the foul odors causing appetizing control. In addition, this processing method is highly effective for the removal of pollutions such as pesticides and inactivation of microbial contaminants in food. Therefore, scCO2 processing is a promising alternative to conventional methods.Practical ApplicationProcessing RS in cereals using scCO2 is an innovative alternative to conventional processes such as heat‐moisture treatment and annealing, autoclaving and retrogradation cycles, high hydrostatic pressure, and extrusion that are commonly used to promote RS formation in food products to improve human health and consequently contributes to the control of blood glucose levels after a meal. The innovative scCO2 process is considerably simple, easily operable, and environmentally friendly and safe due to the use of nontoxic CO2 as a solvent. This process has great potential for application in the extraction of pesticides and fats and the inactivation of microbes in food products. Therefore, scCO2 processing will be useful as a food processing method that helps maintain human health.

AbstractBackground and AimEndoscopic evaluation of disease activity, including mucosal healing, is poorly established in Crohn's disease. We previously reported that patients with a Lewis score (LS) on capsule endoscopy < 270 had a lower risk of exacerbation without additional treatment. This study investigated prognostic predictors in patients undergoing capsule endoscopy and determined the optimal LS cut‐off value.MethodsIn a retrospective single‐center study, 102 patients with Crohn's disease who underwent capsule endoscopy were reviewed. We reviewed the clinical course and the patients' characteristics, Crohn's Disease Activity Index, laboratory findings, LS, and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) for factors potentially associated with Crohn's disease‐related emergency hospitalization. Subsequently, we prospectively enrolled 66 patients with Crohn's disease and analyzed clinical outcomes according to these factors.ResultsIn the retrospective study, LS ≥ 270 and PNI < 45 were identified as independent predictors of Crohn's disease‐related emergency hospitalization with hazard ratios of 9.48 and 3.01, respectively. Even in patients with LS ≥ 270, cumulative hospitalization rates decreased after intervention based on capsule endoscopy findings. The prospective study confirmed that patients with LS ≥ 270 or PNI < 45 had a significantly higher risk of Crohn's disease‐related emergency hospitalization and that additional treatment reduced the risk of relapse.ConclusionsLS and PNI are the best available prognostic predictors in patients with Crohn's disease without gastrointestinal stenosis and can guide decisions on treatment escalation. Patients with LS ≥ 270 and PNI < 45 were at increased risk for exacerbation, and additional treatments should be considered for this group.

AbstractBackgroundThe impact of obesity interventions on dietary intake in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity is unclear. This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of the dietary component of weight management interventions on the change in diet in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity.MethodsEligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published between 1975 and 2020 were identified by a systematic search following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Meta‐analyses of eligible study outcomes were performed using statistical software. A multilevel random effects model was used with three significant random effects fitted using restricted maximum likelihood estimation.ResultsThis review identified 109 RCTs, including 95 that reported at least one statistically significant dietary outcome change and 14 reporting no significant dietary change. Results from the meta‐analyses (n = 29 studies) indicated that, compared to control groups, intervention groups achieved significantly greater reductions in mean total energy intake at ≤6 months (−194 kcal day−1, 95% confidence interval = −275.80 to −112.90 kcal day−1, P < 0.001) and up to 12 months (−112 kcal day−1 95% confidence interval = −218.92 to −5.83 kcal day−1) P = 0.038), increases in fruit and/or vegetable intakes over 2–12 months (n = 34, range +0.6 to +1.5 servings day−1) and reductions in consumption of sugar‐sweetened beverages (n = 28, range −0.25 to −1.5 servings day−1) at 4–24 months follow‐up.ConclusionsObesity interventions with a dietary component have a modest but sustained impact on reducing total energy intake and improving intakes of specific food groups in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. High quality RCTs that are powered to detect change in diet as a primary outcome are warranted.

AbstractPentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, composing one of the largest protein families in plants, are involved in RNA binding and regulation of organelle RNA metabolism at the post‐transcriptional level. Although several PPR proteins have been implicated in endosperm development in rice (Oryza sativa), the molecular functions of many PPRs remain obscure. Here, we identified a rice endosperm mutant named floury endosperm 18 (flo18) with pleiotropic defects in both reproductive and vegetative development. Map‐based cloning and complementation tests showed that FLO18 encodes a mitochondrion‐targeted P‐type PPR protein with 15 PPR motifs. Mitochondrial function was disrupted in the flo18 mutant, as evidenced by decreased assembly of Complex I in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and altered mitochondrial morphology. Loss of FLO18 function resulted in defective 5′‐end processing of mitochondrial nad5 transcripts encoding subunit 5 of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogenase. These results suggested that FLO18 is involved in 5′‐end processing of nad5 messenger RNA and plays an important role in mitochondrial function and endosperm development.
POLLUTION'S ROLE IN REDUCING URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

Published: December 2020

AbstractThis paper surveys the recent literature exploring the consequences of urban pollution in the developing world for a city's productivity and resident quality of life. The environmental Kuznets curve literature predicts that developing nations will experience significant environmental degradation as a byproduct of economic development. In contrast, the recent literature that we review reverses this logic by arguing that geographic areas featuring lower levels of pollution will experience economic growth through improvements in health and human capital. In an economy where pollution reduces worker productivity, inhibits child development and repels the skilled from living in such an area, those cities featuring less pollution have a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining the skilled. Given the central role that human capital plays in urban economic growth, such cities will be more likely to achieve sustainable long‐term growth.
The Private Production of Safe Assets

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTUsing high‐frequency, granular panel data on short‐term debt securities issued in Europe, we study the existence, empirical boundaries, and fragility of private assets' safety. We show that only securities with the shortest maturities, issued by banks (certificates of deposit, or CDs), benefit from a safety premium. The supply of such CDs responds positively to excess safety demand. During periods of stress, this relation vanishes for all issuers of private securities, even though their aggregate volumes do not collapse. Other dimensions of heterogeneity, including issuers' balance sheets or their domicile countries' fiscal capacity, are less relevant for private safety.
One confession, multiple chronotopes: The interdiscursive authentication of an apology in an international criminal trial
Authors: D’hondt Sigurd 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis paper presents an interdiscursive analysis of a public apology made before the International Criminal Court (ICC) by a Malian Islamist accused of the destruction of cultural heritage in Timbuktu. It analyzes (a) how the defendant's apology metapragmatically inserts itself into a multiplicity of chronotopes and (b) how the two defense counsels subsequently reformulate that apology as part of a ‘confessional chronotope’, thereby decoupling it from its immediate trial surroundings. The entextualization of this confessional chronotope, and the modifications of the trial's participation framework it proposes, reveal how ICC trial actors navigate the multiple tensions facing this emergent form of globalized criminal justice.
