Thomas Aquinas and the complex simplicity of the rational soul
Authors: Skrzypek Jeremy W. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThomas Aquinas holds that the rational soul is not only, like other created immaterial substances, mereologically simple, in that it is completely lacking in any kind of material parts, but also mereologically complex, in that it includes within its composition its own essence, an act of existence, and various powers. Aquinas's account of the mereological complexity of the rational soul introduces several tensions with his understanding of the soul as the substantial form of the body and his larger ontology of the human person. After providing an overview of several key mereological notions operative in Aquinas's thought, and an overview of the mereological simplicity and mereological complexity of immaterial substances in his ontology, I introduce three potential concerns for the Thomistic account, all of which might have been avoided had Aquinas instead understood the rational soul to be entirely mereologically simple—serving as the source and subject of, but bearing some other nonmereological relation to, the aforementioned parts. Though Aquinas does not pursue this simpler solution, I argue that he already has built into his ontology the resources to make such a solution consistent with the rest of his thought.

AbstractObjectiveMany people want to have healthy facial skin. They tend to check their skin’s condition by touching their face with their hands. In the cosmetic industry, we need to understand what consumers are perceiving in a tactile sense when touching their own facial skin. The purpose of this study was to investigate these observation methods in order to systematically understand people’s haptic exploratory procedures (HEPs).MethodsThirty‐four participants living in the United States and twenty‐two participants living in Japan freely explored their faces and answered which side felt more closely related to the six tactile adjectives. A new analysis was applied to classify the observed HEPs into six classifications within two categories and three sizes of contact area by experts.ResultIt was confirmed that the new task was useful to observe the HEPs for participants from United States and Japan. The US participants’ HEPs for ‘moisturized’ were mainly a middle‐sized contact area using a stroking motion. On the other hand, Japanese participants’ HEPs for ‘moisturized’ (‘shittori’ in Japanese) mainly used a pushing movement. Moreover, the US participants’ HEPs for ‘soft’ included both pushing and stroking, but Japanese participants HEPs for ‘soft’ (‘yawarakai’ in Japanese) were again mainly pushing.ConclusionThis study suggests that the proposed analysis method enables the systematic understanding of HEPs when checking the skin, along with the cross‐cultural differences affecting those procedures. These systematic findings could allow cosmetic formulators to have a better understanding of the tactile sensations consumers themselves are feeling in a variety of different global markets.

AbstractAlthough the internet plays a significant role in daily activities, particularly shopping, some individuals are reluctant to shop online due to distrust in the online environment. This research aims to investigate trust barriers to online shopping from the relevant literature and prioritize them in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. After reviewing the relevant literature, 18 barriers were extracted and a questionnaire based on these barriers was distributed among 150 internet users to rank three criteria of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), namely severity, occurrence, and detection. Afterward, using the entropy method based on FMEA in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment, the priority of each barrier was assessed. The findings showed that the most important barriers to trust in online shopping are ‘privacy risk’, ‘lack of feel‐and‐touch associated with online purchases’, ‘psychological risk’, ‘social risk’ and ‘feeling that e‐vendors are pretending to care about buyers’ welfare’. Based on the findings, marketing managers should focus on improving and promoting the infrastructure security of their online shopping sites, providing comprehensive information, and benefiting from influencers and celebrities’ endorsements in order to increase customer trust.

AbstractBackgroundThere is a scarcity of published data on the dermoscopic morphology of lip squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its variability according to the histological differentiation degree and patient’s ethnicity as per skin phototype.ObjectivesTo evaluate the dermoscopic features of SCC of the lips and identify possible dermoscopic clues that may aid in differentiation between well‐differentiated, moderately‐differentiated, and poorly‐differentiated lesions, as well as between “fair” skin (Fitzpatrick skin phototypes I‐III) and “dark” skin (Fitzpatrick skin phototypes IV‐VI).MethodsThe clinical profile and dermoscopic images of patients of any age and either gender with histologically confirmed lip SCC collated from seven dermatological centers were retrospectively evaluated for dermoscopic clues as per certain predefined criteria.ResultsA total of 60 lesions from 60 patients were included in the analysis. Histologically, well, moderate, and poordifferentiation were seen in 24 (40%), 14 (23.3%), and 22 (36.7%) of the lesions, respectively. Other than the presence of brown‐to‐gray dots/globules, which was exclusively seen in cases with dark phototypes (19.4% P = 0.035), no other dermoscopic feature was statistically significant in differentiating between the two skin types. Some dermoscopic findings were observed specifically with statistical significance: perivascular white halos (P = 0.049) and whitish‐yellow background in well‐differentiated lesions (P = 0.003); pink background in moderately‐differentiated lesions (P = 0.003); and red background with dense vascularity in poorly‐differentiated lesions (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe presence of vessels, scale/crust, and keratinization‐associated white structures were the most common dermoscopic clues in lip SCC.

Published: November 2020

SummaryPesticides play a key role in agriculture and food production by controlling the insects, weeds, plant pathogens and microbial contaminations. Although they are useful in some aspects, their inappropriate application can induce health problems including carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, neurodegenerative diseases and disruption of endocrine system. In this respect, efficient strategies should be applied to reduce pesticide residue in foodstuffs. Several methods have been proposed in food processing for reduction of pesticides residue. Recently, detoxification via microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria and probiotics has been extensively studied and degradation of pesticides through hydrolytic enzymes has been introduced as the possible mechanism and it has been highlighted that some probiotics harbour pesticide‐degrading genes. The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in detoxification of pesticides.

AimTo analyse workplace health promotion interventions implemented exclusively for the female population.BackgroundThe differences in biological, psychological and social characteristics, as well as the type of work carried out by men and women, make it necessary for workplace health promotion to be specific for each group. This study focussed on working women.IntroductionWorkplace health promotion interventions are centred on increasing the well‐being and health of the employees. Occupational health nurses play an essential role in the implementation of these interventions.MethodsA systematic review was carried out using the MEDLINE and Scopus databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.ResultsTwelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Two lines of interventions were found: (1) promotion of breastfeeding (16.6%) and (2) promotion of physical activity and other healthy lifestyles (83.4%). The interventions studied underlined promoting breastfeeding, preventing a sedentary lifestyle, improving body composition, reducing cardiovascular risk, relieving premenstrual symptoms, time of breastfeeding after returning to work, and showing favourable results.DiscussionThe lack of studies on the subject and the medium‐to‐low quality of the articles included in the review have made it difficult to analyse workplace health promotion interventions, making it necessary to continue research in this area.ConclusionThere are very few occupational health promotion interventions targeting women (1.9%), and the majority of them focus on promoting physical activity. It is worrying that specific aspects of women's health are poorly addressed.Implications for nursing practice and health policyThe work of the occupational nurse essentially is to guarantee the health of women in the workplace, being the key figure in the research and development of gender‐related policies in the field of public health.

Published: November 2020

AbstractPrior findings suggest that firms reduce investment when they face a higher degree of domestic economic policy uncertainty. In this paper, we provide a new finding that corporate investment of U.S. firms also declines when Chinese economic policy uncertainty rises, after controlling for U.S. economic policy uncertainty. Additional analysis suggests that the result is stronger for firms located in states with larger exports to China, implying the importance of global supply chain link in understanding firms' investment decisions.

AbstractIntroductionThe difference in the incidence and characteristics of silent cerebral events (SCEs) after radiofrequency‐based atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation between the different mapping catheters and indices used for guiding radiofrequency ablation remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the incidence and characteristics of postablation SCEs between the following two groups: Group C, Ablation Index‐guided ablation using two circular mapping catheters with CARTO (Biosense Webster); Group R, local impedance‐guided ablation using one mini‐basket catheter and one circular mapping with Rhythmia (Boston Scientific).Methods and ResultsOf 211 consecutive patients who underwent an AF ablation and brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging after the ablation, 120 patients (each group, n = 60) were selected by propensity score matching. SCEs were detected in 37 patients (30.8%). Group R had a higher incidence of SCEs (51.7% vs. 10.0%; p < .001) and more SCEs per patient (median, 3 vs. 1, p = .028) than Group C. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that nonparoxysmal AF and being Group R were independent positive predictors of SCEs (odds ratios, 6.930 and 15.464; both p < .001). On the follow‐up MR imaging, all SCEs in Group C and 87.9% of the SCEs in Group R disappeared (p = .537).ConclusionsGroup R had a significantly higher incidence of SCEs than Group C. Most probably the use of a complexly designed basket mapping catheter is the reason for the difference in the incidence of SCEs but further validation is needed. A nonparoxysmal form of AF may also increase the risk of SCEs during these ablation procedures.

AbstractAims/IntroductionPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher bone fracture risk than patients without diabetes. Although denosumab (Dmab) is a potent bone resorption inhibitor, its efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of switching to Dmab from bisphosphonates (BP) or a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.Materials and MethodsThis was a three medical institutions, prospective, observational study for postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose T‐score of femoral neck or lumbar spine bone mineral density was under −1.0 standard deviation, even after >6 months of BP or SERM administration. After obtaining consent, participants were treated for osteopenia/osteoporosis by either continuing BP (BP‐BP group)/SERM (SERM‐SERM group), or by switching to Dmab (BP‐Dmab or SERM‐Dmab groups). Changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolism marker levels were evaluated after 6 months.ResultsA total of 48 patients were included in this study, and each group comprised 12 patients. No significant difference existed in baseline characteristics among the groups. The average age and glycated hemoglobin were 71 ± 8 years and 7.2 ± 0.9%, respectively. In the SERM‐Dmab group, lumbar spine bone mineral density was significantly increased by 5.0% compared with the SERM‐SERM group (P < 0.04). Serum bone‐specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase 5b were significantly decreased in the BP‐Dmab and SERM‐Dmab groups compared with the BP‐BP and SERM‐SERM groups, respectively.ConclusionsSwitching to Dmab from BP or SERM is beneficial to prevent osteoporosis progression in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
High Sequence Divergence but Limited Architectural Rearrangements in Organelle Genomes of Cyanophora (Glaucophyta) Species

Published: November 2020

AbstractCyanophora is the glaucophyte model taxon. Following the sequencing of the nuclear genome of C. paradoxa, studies based on single organelle and nuclear molecular markers revealed previously unrecognized species diversity within this glaucophyte genus. Here, we present the complete plastid (ptDNA) and mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes of C. kugrensii, C. sudae, and C. biloba. The respective sizes and coding capacities of both ptDNAs and mtDNAs are conserved among Cyanophora species with only minor differences due to specific gene duplications. Organelle phylogenomic analyses consistently recover the species C. kugrensii and C. paradoxa as a clade and C. sudae and C. biloba as a separate group. The phylogenetic affiliations of the four Cyanophora species are consistent with architectural similarities shared at the organelle genomic level. Genetic distance estimations from both organelle sequences are also consistent with phylogenetic and architecture evidence. Comparative analyses confirm that the Cyanophora mitochondrial genes accumulate substitutions at 3‐fold higher rates than plastid counterparts, suggesting that mtDNA markers are more appropriate to investigate glaucophyte diversity and evolutionary events that occur at a population level. The study of complete organelle genomes is becoming the standard for species delimitation and is particularly relevant to study cryptic diversity in microbial groups.

Published: November 2020

AbstractOur knowledge on the anatomy of the first dinosaurs (Late Triassic, 235–205 Ma) has drastically increased in the last years, mainly due to several new findings of exceptionally well‐preserved specimens. Nevertheless, some structures such as the neurocranium and its associated structures (brain, labyrinth, cranial nerves, and vasculature) remain poorly known, especially due to the lack of specimens preserving a complete and articulated neurocranium. This study helps to fill this gap by investigating the endocranial cavity of one of the earliest sauropodomorphs, Buriolestes schultzi, from the Upper Triassic (Carnian—c. 233 Ma) of Brazil. The endocranial anatomy of this animal sheds light on the ancestral condition of the brain of sauropodomorphs, revealing an elongated olfactory tract combined to a relatively small pituitary gland and well‐developed flocculus of the cerebellum. These traits change drastically across the evolutionary history of sauropodomorphs, reaching the opposite morphology in Jurassic times. Furthermore, we present here the first calculations of the Reptile Encephalization Quotient (REQ) for a Triassic dinosaur. The REQ of B. schultzi is lower than that of Jurassic theropods, but higher than that of later sauropodomorphs. The combination of cerebral, dental, and postcranial data suggest that B. schultzi was an active small predator, able to track moving prey.

AbstractAims and objectivesWe aimed to investigate the anxiety of nurses who are supporting Wuhan in fighting against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection and explore relevant influencing factors.BackgroundThe COVID‐19 outbreak poses a major threat to public health worldwide. Nurses play an important role in this epidemic. However, available data on the mental health among these nurses are limited.DesignA descriptive, cross‐sectional survey was performed.MethodsAn online questionnaire was completed by 200 nurses who went to Wuhan to help to fight against COVID‐19 from another province. Data collection tools include the Chinese version of the Stress Overload Scale (SOS), the Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and General Self‐Efficacy Scale (GSES). Descriptive, single‐factor correlation and multiple regression analyses were used in exploring related influencing factors. Reporting followed the STROBE guidelines.ResultsThe scores of SAS, SOS and GSES range from 20 to 80, 22 to 110 and 10 to 40, respectively, and the SAS (31.79 ± 7.32) and SOS (40.19 ± 12.92) and GSES scores (24.83 ± 6.60) were obtained. Anxiety was positively correlated with stress (r = .679, p < .001) but negatively correlated with self‐efficacy (r = −.326, p < .001). Multiple regression analysis showed that professional qualification, sleep, stress and self‐efficacy were the main factors affecting nurse anxiety (p = .006, <.001, <.001, .039, respectively).ConclusionsNurses who are supporting Wuhan in fighting against COVID‐19 were under a low level of anxiety.Relevance to clinical practiceThe current study suggests work stress reduction might be a key factor in reducing anxiety and maintaining mental health to support nurses who are fighting against COVID‐19 infection.
A scoping review of the integration of ethics education in undergraduate nursing high‐fidelity human simulation‐based learning

Published: November 2020

AbstractAims and objectivesTo systematically assemble, examine and map the extant literature pertaining to the integration of ethics education in high‐fidelity simulation‐based learning experiences in nursing undergraduate programmes.BackgroundThe value of ethics education for undergraduate nursing students is well established in the literature. Whether high‐fidelity human simulation (HFHS) supports the development of ethical reasoning or positively impacts the acquisition of ethical knowledge and reasoning skills in undergraduate nursing students is inconsistently addressed.DesignA scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework.MethodCINAHL, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses A&I, MEDLINE, Web of Science, ERIC, Scopus, PsycINFO, and the Joanna Briggs Institute EBP databases were searched for English‐language manuscripts published between 2012 and 2020. The PRISMA‐ScR was used.ResultsEight papers that met the inclusion criteria were extracted for this review. Three broad categories were identified: the ‘what’ in ethics education, the ‘how’ of ethics education and the ‘when’ of ethics education in high‐fidelity human simulation.ConclusionThe integration of ethics education into simulation‐based learning has the potential to positively promote nursing students' ability to develop knowledge of and skills in ethical practice. However, the inclusion of ethics education scenarios in HFHS is a relative new teaching innovation in undergraduate nursing education. As such, there continues to be no consensus on the ‘what’, ‘how’ or ‘when’ of ethics education for best practice in ethics education for undergraduate nursing programmes.Relevance to clinical practiceQuality improvement processes and research studies are needed to determine: the types of ethical dilemmas and debriefing sessions and optimal timing of HFHS ethics simulation in undergraduate nursing education, student support needed for running HFHS, and the learning needs of nurse educators seeking to incorporate ethics within HFHS.
