Patterns in Cognitive Phenomena and Pluralism of Explanatory Styles
Authors: Potochnik Angela , Sanches de Oliveira Guilherme 
Published: November 2019

AbstractDebate about cognitive science explanations has been formulated in terms of identifying the proper level(s) of explanation. Views range from reductionist, favoring only neuroscience explanations, to mechanist, favoring the integration of multiple levels, to pluralist, favoring the preservation of even the most general, high‐level explanations, such as those provided by embodied or dynamical approaches. In this paper, we challenge this framing. We suggest that these are not different levels of explanation at all but, rather, different styles of explanation that capture different, cross‐cutting patterns in cognitive phenomena. Which pattern is explanatory depends on both the cognitive phenomenon under investigation and the research interests occasioning the explanation. This reframing changes how we should answer the basic questions of which cognitive science approaches explain and how these explanations relate to one another. On this view, we should expect different approaches to offer independent explanations in terms of their different focal patterns and the value of those explanations to partly derive from the broad patterns they feature.
THE BLURRED LINE BETWEEN THEISTIC EVOLUTION AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN
Authors: Leidenhag Mikael 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIt is often assumed that there is a hard line between theistic evolution (TE) and intelligent design (ID). Many theistic evolutionists subscribe to the idea that God only acts through natural processes, as opposed to the ID assertion that God, at certain points in natural history, has acted in a direct manner; directly causing particular features of the world. In this article, I argue that theistic evolutionists subscribe to what might be called Natural Divine Causation (NDC). NDC does not merely provide a nonsupernaturalist and noninterventionist model of divine action, it provides a line of demarcation between TE and ID. I make the critique that NDC is philosophically untenable and argue, consequently, that the line between TE and ID is blurred.
TEILHARD DE CHARDIN, THE “SIX PROPOSITIONS,” AND THE HOLY OFFICE
Authors: Kemp Kenneth W. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractBetween 1924 and 1937, the Jesuit Curia in Rome repeatedly placed restrictions on what Jesuit priest‐paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was allowed to write on those aspects of human origins that, in the view of the Curia, had theological as well as scientific aspects. In 2018, David Grumett and Paul Bentley published an account of the first of those restrictions, together with a previously undiscovered document associated with that restriction. This article corrects a relatively important error in their historical narrative, offers an alternative to their comments about the case, and concludes by embedding the events of 1924–1925 in a slightly larger history of Teilhard's relations with the Jesuit Curia and with the Holy Office. That larger narrative shows that, while Grumett and Bentley's account was mistaken about the involvement of the Holy Office in the case they discuss, it was not wrong about the concerns of that Congregation in questions of human origins.

ObjectivesTo explore the relationship between popularity of mobile application (apps) for physical activity (PA) and their likely efficacy. The primary objective was to assess the association between app popularity (indicated by user ratings) and likely efficacy (indicated by the number of Behaviour Change Techniques (BCT) present). The secondary objective was to assess the relationship between user ratings and those BCTs that have been shown to be effective in increasing PA.DesignObservational study.Methods400 top-ranked free and paid apps from iTunes and Google Play stores were screened, and were included if the primary behaviour targeted was PA and they had stand-alone functionality. The outcome variable of user rating was dichotomised into high (4, 5 stars) or low (1, 2, 3 stars) rating.SettingiTunes and Google Play app stores.ParticipantsNo individual participants but the study used user-led rating system in the app store.Primary and secondary outcome measuresBCTs and user rating.ResultsOf 400 apps, 156 were eligible and 65 were randomly selected, downloaded and assessed by two reviewers. There was no relationship overall between star ratings and the number of BCTs present, nor between star ratings and the presence of BCTs known to be effective in increasing PA. App store was strongly associated with star ratings, with lower likelihood of finding 4 or 5 stars in iTunes compared with Google Play (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.76, p<0.001).ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that popularity does not necessarily imply the likelihood of effectiveness. Hence, public health impact is unlikely to be achieved by allowing market forces to ‘prescribe’ what is used by the public.

ObjectiveLow neighbourhood socioeconomic status (NSES) has been linked to a higher risk of overweight/obesity, irrespective of the individual’s own socioeconomic status. No meta-analysis study has been done on the association. Thus, this study was done to synthesise the existing evidence on the association of NSES with overweight, obesity and body mass index (BMI).DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles published until 25 September 2019.Eligibility criteriaEpidemiological studies, both longitudinal and cross-sectional ones, which examined the link of NSES to overweight, obesity or BMI, were included.Data extraction and synthesisData extraction was done by two reviewers, working independently. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for the observational studies. The summary estimates of the relationships of NSES with overweight, obesity and BMI statuses were calculated with random-effects meta-analysis models. Heterogeneity was assessed by Cochran’s Q and I2statistics. Subgroup analyses were done by age categories, continents, study designs and NSES measures. Publication bias was assessed by visual inspection of funnel plots and Egger’s regression test.ResultA total of 21 observational studies, covering 1 244 438 individuals, were included in this meta-analysis. Low NSES, compared with high NSES, was found to be associated with a 31% higher odds of overweight (pooled OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.47, p<0.001), a 45% higher odds of obesity (pooled OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.74, p<0.001) and a 1.09 kg/m2increase in mean BMI (pooled beta=1.09, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.50, p<0.001).ConclusionNSES disparity might be contributing to the burden of overweight/obesity. Further studies are warranted, including whether addressing NSES disparity could reduce the risk of overweight/obesity.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017063889

Published: November 2019

ObjectivesThe diagnosis and treatment of acute leukaemia (AL) affect physical, psychosocial and existential functioning. Long-lasting treatment periods with impaired immune system, hygienic and social restrictions challenge patient well-being and rehabilitation as compared with other individuals with cancer. This study elucidates how AL patients, treated with curative intent in an outpatient setting, assess their physical, psychosocial and existential capability during and following treatment, and furthermore reports on the health initiatives offered to support their rehabilitation.Design, setting, participants and interventionsWe conducted qualitative, semi-structured individual interviews with 16 AL patients, 6 months after end of treatment in the patients’ homes. This was the final interview, in a line of three, carried out as part of a larger qualitative study.ResultsThe data were analysed thematically through an inductive ongoing process consisting of four steps. The final step, selective coding, resulted in the three categories: physical activity, mental well-being and social activity. None of the patients were satisfied with their physical capability at the time of interview and experienced substantial impairment of functional capabilities. All patients struggled with anxiety and expressed a need for continuous progress in treatment and well-being to feel safe. It took an unexpected large effort to regain a meaningful social life, and patients still had to prioritise activities.ConclusionsAL patients suffered physically, psychologically and existentially throughout their illness trajectory. Rehabilitation initiatives deriving from the healthcare system and municipalities held room for improvement. Future programmes should pay attention to the contextual changes of treatment of this patient group and individuals’ changing needs and motivation of physical exercise.

ObjectivesWe aimed to analyse the healthcare seeking behaviours (HSB) of populations with different migration status and examine the relationship between migration status and HSB.DesignA secondary analysis of cross-sectional data of China Labor-force Dynamics Survey wave 2016, which was conducted by the Sun Yat-sen University every 2 years since 2010.Setting29 provinces/cities/autonomous regions in mainland China, excluding Tibet and Hainan province.Participants3522 respondents in a condition in the previous 2 weeks or during the last 12 months were analysed.Main outcome measuresThe migration status included internal migrants (IMs), returned population, rural residents and urban residents. The HSB including health services utilisation and choice of health facilities for their health services. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine the association between migration status and HSB.Results2193 and 1898 of 3522 respondents were in need of outpatient services (having a condition in the previous 2 weeks) or inpatient services (being asked to use the inpatient services during the last 12 months). Compared with urban residents, the returned population (OR=0.66, 95% CIs 0.49 to 0.89) and rural residents (OR=0.65, 95% CIs 0.51 to 0.82) were less likely to have an unmet need for outpatient services. The latter tended to choose lower-level hospitals, while the IMs preferred the lowest-level healthcare facilities for health services. After controlling for confounding factors, the results above did not reach any statistical significance.ConclusionAssociation between migration status and HSB might be through enabling resource and needs. Returned population, IMs and rural residents tended to choose low-level hospitals for their health service needs, but this association was mainly associated with their poorer social and economic resources. Improving their social and economic resources would be helpful for reducing the barriers of HSB.

ObjectivesPatient experience is being widely considered in the evaluation of healthcare service quality, which is a key target for public hospitals under China’s New Healthcare Reform. This study aimed to illustrate patients’ experiences in county-level public hospitals, and identify aspects that need to be improved.Setting and participantsBetween 2016 and 2018, a cross-sectional study with 500 outpatients and 800 inpatients was conducted in 10 county-level public hospitals from Shandong Province, Hubei Province and Chongqing Municipality.MethodA three-part questionnaire was used to evaluate patients’ experiences during their visits to hospitals. It comprised a questionnaire for basic information, the Picker Patient Experience (PPE-15) Questionnaire and the overall evaluation (a 3-point Likert scale to express patients’ satisfaction and patient loyalty). Patients’ experiences were classified according to six dimensions (information transmission and patient education, respect for patient preference, emotional support, physical comfort, involvement of family or friends and continuity of medical service). Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate patient experience.ResultsA total of 1241 valid questionnaires were analysed. The mean PPE-15 score was 41.33 (range, 23–56). The better the patient experience and satisfaction, the higher the patient loyalty (p<0.001). Except for hospital disparities, patients’ age and occupation status had a significant impact on patient experience (p<0.05). Of the six dimensions, the physical comfort score was the highest, while the respect for patient preference score was the lowest. Additionally, a strong correlation was found between the respect for patient preference dimension and patients’ overall satisfaction with their treatment experience.ConclusionsHospital managers and staff members should pay close attention to the preferences of patients and their families to improve patient experience.

Published: November 2019

ObjectivesThe user experience, content and conditions for use of an online dance-health surveillance system (Performing artist and Athlete Health Monitor, PAHM) was examined through a focus group interview with professional ballet dancers.MethodsNine professional dancers (56% female (n=5), average age=27.56± 5.17) completed biweekly questionnaires using the PAHM, including questions on health problems, injuries, mental complaints and illnesses. After 6 weeks, nine dancers participated in a focus group interview to investigate the user experience, content and conditions for use of the PAHM. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.Results25 of the 27 questionnaires were completed (response rate of 93%). Dancers were positive about using the PAHM. They recommend to clarifying the questions about pain and injury, expanding items on mental health, including items on workload, sleep, rest and nutrition, and receiving feedback regarding their own results. Dancers were reluctant regarding sharing their personal data with others. Data on an aggregated level can be shared because this might gain insight into the association between scheduling, workload and injury risk.ConclusionThe user experience of the monitor contributes to the willingness of dancers to keep using the PAHM. Dancers recommended adjusting the content in the PAHM to match their dance activities and health problems. The conditions for using the PAHM effectively within a company are a safe and trusting culture. Even though the PAHM alone cannot change the culture in a ballet company, it can play a role in the communication between staff and dancers.
Detection of Campylobacter species in different types of samples from dairy farms

Published: November 2019

BackgroundLivestock, domestic pets and wildlife can be intestinal carriers of thermotolerant Campylobacter species. These reservoirs can in turn contaminate the environment and food products, thus creating pathways to campylobacteriosis in human beings. The purposes of this study were to investigate sampling strategies applied for surveillance of Campylobacter on dairy cattle farms and to identify the presence and species of Campylobacter in different age groups.MethodsBoot sock and faecal samples were collected from five dairy herds from three age groups—cows, heifers and calves younger than 12 months—and from milk filters.ResultsCampylobacter species were isolated in 152 of 250 samples, of which 93 isolates were identified as C jejuni, 51 as C hyointestinalis, two as C lari and one as C coli, whereas five isolates could not be identified to species level. Campylobacter species were isolated from 86 of 110 faecal samples, 60 of 97 sock samples and six of 43 milk filter samples.ConclusionFaecal samples were the optimal sample type for detection of Campylobacter on dairy farms. However, taking multiple types of samples could be recommended in order to optimise the recovery rate and variety of Campylobacter species detected when investigating the presence of Campylobacter on dairy farms.
Impact of chiral hyperonic three-body forces on neutron stars
Authors: Logoteta Domenico , Vidaña Isaac , Bombaci Ignazio 
Published: November 2019

Abstract.We study the effects of the nucleon-nucleon-lambda (NN$ \Lambda$Λ three-body force on neutron stars. In particular, we consider the NN$ \Lambda$Λ force recently derived by the Jülich-Bonn-Munich group within the framework of chiral effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order. This force, together with realistic nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon interactions, is used to calculate the equation of state and the structure of neutron stars within the many-body non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. Our results show that the inclusion of the NN$ \Lambda$Λ force leads to an equation of state stiff enough such that the resulting neutron star maximum mass is compatible with the largest currently measured ( $ \sim 2 M_\odot$∼2M⊙ neutron star masses. Using a perturbative many-body approach we calculate also the separation energy of the $ \Lambda$Λ in some hypernuclei finding that the agreement with the experimental data improves for the heavier ones when the effect of the NN$ \Lambda$Λ force is taken into account.
Process, Analyze and Visualize Telecommunication Network Configuration Data in Graph Database
Authors: Lehotay-Kéry Péter , Kiss Attila 
Published: November 2019

In network telemetry systems, nodes produce vast number of configuration files based on how they are configured. Steps were taken to process these files into databases to help the work of the developers, testers and customer support to focus on the development and testing and to be able to give advice to the customers about how to configure the nodes. However, the processing of these data in relational database manager system is slow, hard to query and the storage takes huge disk space. In this paper, we are presenting a way to store the data produced by these nodes in graph database, changing from relational database to NoSQL environment. With our approach, one can easily represent and visualize the network of machines. In the end, we are going to compare the inserting, querying time and storage size in different database manager systems. The results could also be used for other types of configuration data too from other kinds of machines to show the connection between them and query them easily.

Abstract

Platelets promote metastasis, however, their role in tumor growth remains controversial. Here, we investigated the effect of platelet interactions with colorectal tumor cells. Platelets extravasated into the tumor microenvironment and interacted with tumor cells in a cadherin-6–dependent manner. The interaction induced platelet spreading, release of their granule content, and the generation of three types of microparticles (iMP) that expressed platelet markers, tumor markers, or both. The presence of iMPs was confirmed in colorectal cancer tissue specimens. Platelets significantly reduced tumor growth and increased intratumoral macrophages. This was mediated by iMP recruitment of macrophages via the chemoattractants RANTES, MIF, CCL2, and CXCL12 and activation of their tumor cell killing capacity through IFNγ and IL4, which led to cell-cycle arrest of tumor cells in a p21-dependent manner. In contrast, in the bloodstream, iMPs activated endothelial cells and platelets and induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells, promoting metastasis. Altogether, these results indicate that depending on the environment, local or bloodstream, the consequences of the interactions between platelets and a tumor may promote or prevent cancer progression.

Significance:
Tumor cell interaction with platelets produces chimeric extracellular vesicles that suppress primary tumor growth by activating tumor-eliminating macrophages, while promoting metastasis through EMT and endothelial activation.
Botulinum Toxin Type A Improves Function According to Goal Attainment in Adults with Poststroke Lower Limb Spasticity in Real Life Practice

Published: November 2019

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for adult lower limb spasticity. However, data are inadequate to determine BoNT-A efficacy for active function. This study evaluated functional goal achievement (measured by goal attainment scaling [GAS]) following lower limb BoNT-A injection in clinical practice. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Phase 4, postmarketing, multicenter, prospective, observational study (NCT01444794) in adults with poststroke lower limb spasticity receiving one BoNT-A injection cycle. Assessments were at baseline (pretreatment), 1 month ±7 days (visit 1), and 3–5 months posttreatment (visit 2). Primary outcome measure was GAS; additional assessments included Modified Ashworth Scale, Demeurisse Motricity Index, 10-meter walk test, and Disability Assessment Scale. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 100 enrolled patients, 94 completed the study. Most common primary treatment goals at baseline were improving mobility (57.5%) and positioning (18.1%). At visit 2, 88.3% achieved their primary goal; 87.0% (<i>n</i> = 47/54) for mobility, and 100.0% (<i>n</i> = 17/17) for positioning. In total, 79.1% of patients achieved their secondary goals. Two factors were predictive of primary goal achievement: time since stroke onset (OR 0.907; 95% CI 0.827–0.995; <i>p</i> = 0.038); and absence of stiff knee spasticity pattern (OR 0.228; 95% CI 0.057–0.911; <i>p</i> = 0.036). All functional scales showed improvements; walking speed (mean [SD]) improved by 0.06 (0.13) and 0.05 (0.20) m/s at visits 1 and 2, respectively. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> BoNT-A injection for lower limb spasticity led to high goal achievement rates in patient-centered GAS evaluation and functional and symptomatic improvements. BoNT-A may therefore deliver clinically meaningful functional improvements in real-life practice.
