The Origins of Divergent and Oscillating Modes of Religiosity
Authors: Mulholland Peter , Salazar Carles 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIn his 1995 ethnographyInside The Cult, Harvey Whitehouse argued that theorists have not been able to construct a satisfactory picture of religious behavior because they overlook “the way in which religion is handled cognitively” (1995, 194–220). In this essay, we will argue that, although Whitehouse's cognitive theory of “modes of religiosity” helps to explain many of the features and underlying dynamics of divergent ways of being religious, it doesn't take sufficient account of the diverse ways in which socialization can affect people's cognitive and religious development. Taking Whitehouse's ethnography as a basis for arguing for a more psychoanalytically informed approach, we will try to show how recent findings in the fields of neuroscience and developmental psychology can be used to build on Whitehouse's theory and produce a more comprehensive theoretical framework for explaining how nature, culture, nurture, and psychology interact to produce divergent and oscillating modes of religiosity.

Published: August 2020

AbstractTotal dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation generated by dams is known to cause gas bubble trauma (GBT) and mortality in fish, but despite many studies on the topic, there have been no recent attempts to systematically review the data. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to determine how different levels of TDG supersaturation in laboratory experiments impact mortality and GBT outcomes of freshwater fishes. We also examined all TDG laboratory studies on freshwater fish to identify research gaps in the GBT literature. Factors that improved the linear mixed‐effects models and Cox proportional hazards models of the relationship between TDG supersaturation and time to 50% mortality, time to 10% mortality, time to the appearance of bubbles in the gills and time to external GBT symptoms include depth, temperature, oxygen‐to‐nitrogen ratios, species, body mass, the interaction between TDG and depth and author group for one or more of the models of the relationship between TDG and GBT outcomes. Of the 99 GBT studies we found in our search, 74% quantified mortality outcomes, with limited assessment of quantitative behavioural, histological and performance outcomes. Moreover, the majority of studies were conducted on salmonids. We therefore recommend additional studies on non‐salmonid species to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of GBT and community effects with use of more diverse sublethal outcomes. We also recommend random subject allocation to treatments, complete reporting, consistent methods between treatments and the use of control groups (which were often lacking) for more rigorous experimental designs.

AbstractGut contents of Pacific saury Cololabis saira during their feeding migration through a transition zone between subtropical and subarctic waters in the North Pacific Ocean are reported. Geographic changes in feeding habits and preferences are described for the months of June and July, for the years 2012, 2016, and 2017. Pacific saury prey comprised 27 taxa. Cluster analysis based on numerical abundance of these prey taxa in guts indicated six Pacific saury feeding types (A to F) existed. Of these, types A–E occurred in low sea surface temperature waters (<ca 14°C). Gut content weight and gut fullness index were greater in types A, B, and E, with copepods Neocalanus plumchrus/flemingeri and/or N. cristatus contributing highly to carbon‐base weight. Although small euphausiids occurred in guts, guts were also often empty, suggesting feeding was less active at higher sea surface temperatures (>ca 14°C). Feeding patterns reveal N. plumchrus/flemingeri tended to be important prey species in areas west of ca 175°E, whereas Pacific saury feed mainly and selectively on N. cristatus in eastern areas, indicating a longitudinal difference in the trophic pathway from zooplankton prey to Pacific saury. These spatial differences in trophic pathways improve our understanding of nutritional intake in the commercially important Pacific saury during its feeding migration, and the effects this might have on fish size and weight, and associated commercial value.

AbstractIntroduction and AimKnowledge on patterns of beliefs about the illness (illness cognitions) can provide insight into individual differences in adjustment to haemophilia. The current study aimed to identify (a) which sociodemographic and disease characteristics were associated with illness cognitions and (b) which illness cognitions were associated with health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in young adult men with haemophilia, besides sociodemographic and disease characteristics.MethodsYoung adult men (18‐30 years) with haemophilia in the Netherlands participated in an online multicentre cross‐sectional study. Participants completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Young Adult version (PedsQL_YA). Potential sociodemographic determinants were assessed with the Course of Life Questionnaire (CoLQ) and illness cognitions with the Illness Cognition Questionnaire (ICQ). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess potential determinants of illness cognitions and HRQOL.ResultsSeventy young adult men with haemophilia (mean age 24.7 years, SD 3.5) participated. Born outside the Netherlands (β −0.24) and >1 bleed past 6 months (β −0.32) were associated with less acceptance of the disease. More acceptance was associated with better HRQOL in all domains: β 0.23‐0.39. More helplessness was associated with worse total (β −0.30) and physical (β −0.42) HRQOL. Disease benefits, sociodemographic and disease characteristics were not associated with HRQOL.ConclusionIllness cognitions are associated with HRQOL in young adult men with haemophilia. Early recognition and identification of illness cognitions are important to facilitate support and psychosocial treatment to optimize young adults’ well‐being. Extra attention is needed for young adult men with frequent bleeds because they are at risk of lowered levels of acceptance of the disease.

AimsGastric dysplasia is a risk factor for synchronous and subsequent gastric carcinoma. Distinguishing gastric dysplasia from reactive changes is subject to interobserver disagreement and is a frequent reason for expert consultation. We previously used assessment of surface cell polarity (the ‘four lines’) as a key feature to decrease equivocal diagnoses in Barrett oesophagus. In the current study, we examined for the presence or absence of the four lines in gastric dysplasia and reactive gastropathy.Materials and methodsThe study includes all (n = 91) in‐house biopsies with at least gastric dysplasia from the surgical pathology archives of two academic institutions during a 5‐year period from 2008 to 2012. A reactive gastropathy group (n = 60) was created for comparison.ResultsThe dysplasia/neoplasia group was comprised of 14 biopsies of gastric foveolar‐type dysplasia, 59 of intestinal‐type dysplasia, 14 with dysplasia in fundic gland polyps, three pyloric gland adenomas and one oxyntic gland adenoma. Loss of surface cell polarity was seen in all 88 dysplasia cases with evaluable surface epithelium. All 57 reactive gastropathy cases with evaluable surface epithelium showed intact surface cell polarity except in focal areas directly adjacent to erosions in 17 cases, where the thin wisp of residual surface mucin could not be appreciated on haematoxylin and eosin.ConclusionSurface cell polarity (the four lines) was lost in all gastric dysplasia biopsies with evaluable surface epithelium and maintained in all biopsies of reactive gastropathy. Caution should be taken in using this feature adjacent to erosions in reactive gastropathy.
Petrography and geochemistry of manganiferous rocks in the Mankwadzi area in the southern Kibi‐Winneba metavolcanic belt, Ghana: Implications for genesis of Mn formations in the Birimian of West Africa

Published: August 2020

AbstractManganiferous rocks in the Mankwadzi area in the southernmost portion of the Kibi‐Winneba metavolcanic belt, one of several Mn occurrences in the Paleoproterozoic Birimian of Ghana, are hosted in hornblende schist and amphibolite. These rocks are, in places, intruded by hornblende dyke. In outcrop, the manganiferous rocks appear to be conformable with the host schist and amphibolite, are macroscopically dark, fine‐grained and structurally massive to distinctly banded. Observed alternating light and dark occasionally macro‐folded bands suggest post‐depositional deformation of both light and dark bands. Microscopic observations revealed that the light bands are dominantly Si‐rich and the dark bands mainly of opaque minerals. Whole rock analyses of the manganiferous rocks show high contents of MnO (16.75–27.4 wt%) suggesting that the opaque minerals are likely rich in Mn. The analyzed rock samples show moderate to strong enrichments in light rare earth elements compared to heavy rare earth elements. Whereas the manganiferous rocks show perceptibly negative Eu anomaly, host hornblende schist and hornblende dyke do not. Eu anomaly in amphibolite samples is, however, uncertain as the three samples analyzed gave positive, negative and no Eu anomalies. Based on the field characteristics, microscopic and geochemical features, we suggest that the Mn occurrence in the Mankwadzi area originated via sedimentary deposition and was later modified by metamorphism, hydrothermal and/or supergene processes similar to manganiferous occurrences at Nsuta and Tambao in the Birimian of West Africa.

AbstractTo inform seroepidemiological studies, we characterized the IgG‐ responses in COVID‐19 patients against the two major SARS‐CoV‐2 viral proteins, spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N). We tested 70 COVID‐19 sera collected up to 85 days post‐symptom onset and 230 non‐COVID‐19 sera, including 27 SARS sera from 2003. Although the average SARS‐CoV‐2 S and N‐IgG titers were comparable, N‐responses were more variable among individuals. S‐ and N‐assay specificity tested with non‐COVID‐19 sera were comparable at 97.5% and 97.0%, respectively. Therefore, S will make a better target due to its lower cross‐reactive potential and its' more consistent frequency of detection compared to N.
A fuzzy approach to decision‐making in sea‐cage aquaculture production
Authors: Luna Manuel , Llorente Ignacio , Cobo Angel 
Published: August 2020

AbstractDespite the rapid growth in productivity and scale of business production of aquaculture companies in the last few years, their economic results have still experienced very high volatility. This can be partly explained by the increasing complexity of management issues and the strong changes in seafood consumption patterns. But, above all else, companies' results are affected by the conditions of high uncertainty in the decision‐making processes, due to the large number of biological, technical, economic, and environmental influencing factors, many of them beyond the control of managers. In this context, the number of variables, scenarios, and the volume of data to be considered in decision‐making is increasing and, therefore, technological advances are becoming much more accepted and requested. This work presents a fuzzy model that allows aquaculture producers to easily manage the uncertainty regarding climate change and market price scenarios when they are facing production decisions, such as the choice between traditional or ecological production. To that end, this novel approach uses the fuzzy pay‐off method to estimate the companies' economic performance and a discrete multicriteria decision‐making technique (fuzzy TOPSIS) to integrate economic, environmental, and product quality criteria in the selection of the most appropriate production alternative.

Published: August 2020

AbstractAimTo develop and test the psychometric properties of three instruments that measure Person‐centred Caring: as Personalization, Participation and Responsiveness.DesignA three‐phase mixed methods design used two frameworks: content validity determination and quantification; consensus‐based standards for selection of health measurement instruments.MethodsA narrative literature review identified the domain definition. A systematic review of instruments provided the basis for item pools, which were refined by focus groups (N = 4) of multidisciplinary staff and service users (N = 25) and cognitive interviews (N = 11) with service users. Scale content validity indexes were calculated. Three cross‐sectional surveys were conducted between April 2015 and June 2016. The instruments' psychometric properties tested included factor structure, internal consistency and construct validity. Convergent validity was tested, hypothesizing that: Personalization related to relational empathy; Participation related to empowerment; and Responsiveness related to trust.ResultsScale content validity indexes were ≥0.96 in all instruments. Response rates were 24% (N = 191), 15% (N = 108) and 19% (N = 124). Two factors were revealed for the Personalization and Responsiveness instruments and one factor for the Participation instrument. All had acceptable: reliability (Cronbach's Alpha >0.7); construct validity (>50%); and convergent validity (Spearman's correlation coefficient >0.25, p < 0.05).ConclusionThis study composed definitions and instruments that reflect the multidisciplinary teams' caring behaviours, which have acceptable reliability and validity in the community population. Further psychometric testing of Participation and Responsiveness instruments should be undertaken with a larger sample.ImpactThe instruments can be used to monitor the variability of multidisciplinary teams' caring behaviours; research effective interventions to improve caring behaviours; and increase understanding of the impact of caring on health outcomes.
How can hospitals engage their current employees in the recruitment of qualified nurses? A referral bonus and self‐determination perspective

Published: August 2020

AbstractAimsTo investigate the impact of promising a referral bonus and an autonomous referral request on nurses’ referral likelihood and the quality of their referrals.DesignWe applied a 2 × 2 between‐participants factorial design with referral bonus and autonomous referral request as experimental variables.MethodsIn May 2019, 110 nurses working in Belgian hospitals were shown a fictitious e‐mail with a request from their employer to look for potential new‐hires and filled out an online survey measuring referral likelihood and quality.ResultsPromising a referral bonus did not affect nurses’ referral likelihood and quality. Instead supporting self‐determination theory, nurses exposed to the autonomous request were more likely to refer and assure referral quality than those exposed to the controlling request.ConclusionHospitals can increase nurses’ referral likelihood and quality by framing their referral request in an autonomy‐supportive way.ImpactRecruiting nurses are more important than ever in the current Covid‐19 crisis. Our findings offer practical insights on how hospitals can engage their employees in the recruitment of nurses (i.e. through framing referral requests in an autonomy‐supportive way).

AbstractIntroductionCryoballoon (CB)‐guided ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is established in symptomatic AF patients. This study sought to determine the safety and efficacy of CB pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in young adults.Methods and ResultsA total of 93 consecutive patients aged <45 years referred to our center for AF ablation were included in this observational study. All patients received CB‐guided PVI according to a standardized institutional protocol. Follow‐up was performed in our outpatient clinic using 72‐h Holter monitoring and periodic telephone interview. Recurrence was defined as any AF/atrial tachycardia (AT) episode >30 s following a 3‐month blanking period. A propensity matched control group consisting of patients older than 45 years were used for further evaluation. Mean age was 35 ± 7 years, 22% suffered from persistent AF, 85% were male. Mean follow‐up was 2.6 ± 2 years. At the end of the observational period, 83% of patients were free of any AF/AT episodes. There was an excellent overall 12‐month success rate of 92%. In comparison to a matched group the overall recurrence rate was noticeably lower in the young group (15% vs. 27%). Increasing age was associated with a hazard ratio of 1.16 for recurrence. In a multivariate analysis model, left atrial diameter remained as significant predictor of AF/AT recurrence. The complication rate was low, no permanent phrenic nerve palsy was observed.ConclusionCB‐guided PVI in young adults is safe and effective with favorable long‐term results. It may be considered as first‐line therapy in this relatively healthy population.

AbstractInflammatory cytokine‐induced cell apoptosis is important for initiation and progression of chronic heart failure (CHF). Non‐coding RNAs, including long non‐coding RNAs and microRNAs, have emerged as critical regulators of this pathological process. The role in regulating inflammation and induction to cell apoptosis in CHF is not well understood. This study found CHF patients had elevated serum miR‐939‐5p, with greater increase in New York Heart Association (NYHA) I‐II patients than in NYHA III‐IV. Moreover, miR‐939‐5p was positively correlated with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in NYHA III‐IV patients, while not in NYHA I‐II. Further study showed miR‐939‐5p mimics promoted cell proliferation and inhibited inflammatory cytokine‐induced apoptosis of HUVECs and H9C2, while inhibition of endogenous miR‐939‐5p produced the opposite effects. Induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) were identified as target genes of miR‐939‐5p. Additionally, lncRNA‐NOS2P3 acted as an endogenous sponge RNA to inhibit miR‐939‐5p expression, regulate the expression of iNOS/TNFα and control inflammation‐induced cells apoptosis. These suggest that CHF patients exhibited elevated serum miR‐939‐5p level especially in NYHA I‐II grades. And lnc‐NOS2P3‐miR‐939‐5p‐iNOS/TNFα pathway regulated inflammatory cytokine‐induced endothelial and myocardial cells apoptosis and provided a promising strategy for diagnosis and treatment of CHF.

AbstractAimThis cross‐sectional study aimed to examine the diagnostic ability of salivary matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐9 lateral flow test (LFT) point‐of‐care (POC) kit and develop an algorithm for diagnosis of periodontitis.Materials and MethodsThrough Seoul National Dental Hospital, 137 participants (46 LFT negatives, 91 LFT positives) were recruited. For salivary diagnostics, 150 μl of the unstimulated saliva was applied to LFT‐POC kit. To make a diagnosis of periodontitis, stage II‐IV in modified new international classification system was used. Covariates encompassing age, sex, smoking and obesity were evaluated through face‐to‐face interview. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used for quantification of salivary MMP‐9. To develop a diagnostic algorithm, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Receiver operating characteristic curve was applied for evaluating diagnostic ability.ResultsDiagnostic ability of salivary MMP‐9 LFT‐POC test was 0.82 (sensitivity of 0.92, specificity of 0.72) in total participants. Diagnostic algorithm using POC test resulted in a response equation, that is algorithm score = −3.675 + 2.877*LFT + 0.034*age + 0.121*sex + 0.372*smoking + 0.192*obesity. Diagnostic ability of the algorithm was 0.88 (sensitivity of 0.92, specificity of 0.85) with cut‐off score of 0.589.ConclusionsSalivary MMP‐9 LFT‐POC kit showed appropriate diagnostic ability for periodontitis and would be an efficient tool for screening of periodontitis.
