Authors: Othman Elham H. , Shatnawi Fedaa , Alrajabi Omymah , Alshraideh Jafar Alasad 
Published: November 2019

BackgroundNursing classification systems are used to report nursing practices and maintain a unified documentation language. Nursing interventions classification (NIC) and nursing outcomes classification (NOC) are among the recognized terminology systems.AimTo examine the extent of reporting NIC/NOC in nursing research.DesignA systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.Data SourcesA literature search in three electronic databases was performed.ResultsA total of (18) articles were included. Nine studies were conducted to describe the commonly used NIC/NOC, six studies validated the effectiveness of classification systems, and two studies compared different nursing classification systems.ConclusionThe available evidence is limited by the quality of the studies. We recommend examining the use of NIC/NOC in nursing documentation using an experimental design.
When Do Campaign Effects Persist for Years? Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Authors: Jäger Kai 
Published: November 2019

AbstractA unique revote allows for a natural experiment to evaluate whether campaign effects can last for nearly a decade: A right‐wing conservative party missed the 5% threshold in a German state by a mere vote in 2007, but the Constitutional Court ordered a revote in a single precinct over potential election fraud. After a one‐sided campaign focusing on law and order, the party's vote share increased more than sixfold. By comparing the precinct with its direct surroundings, the study shows that the revote campaign had long‐lasting effects on vote choice and broader security‐sensitive behavior. Residents in the revote precinct installed more warning signs on their property to deter burglars. They were not more supportive of right‐wing attitudes but were more likely to believe that election fraud reoccurred. Based on habitual‐voting and social‐norm theories, the study suggests that persuasion could be durable if candidates provide an unchallenged interpretation of political events.

Published: November 2019

AbstractAimTo assess implementation of the Israel Neonatal Society's 2008 guidelines for universal community assessment of jaundice within 72 hours of discharge from birth hospitalisation.MethodsMothers of newborns were interviewed at Maternal Child Health Clinics in the Jerusalem District, Israel, and asked whether their newborn had been evaluated for jaundice within the recommended time frame. Newborn discharge letters from Israeli hospitals were assessed for appropriate inclusion of instructions for early follow‐up for jaundice.ResultsOut of 659, 217 (32.9%) mothers whose newborns were at low risk for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia reported an examination within 72 hours of discharge. Eighteen (8.3%) were referred for a bilirubin test. In contrast, 99.1% (109/110) of high‐risk newborns who were specifically invited for a bilirubin test the day following discharge complied. Out of 26, 12 (46.2%) hospital discharge letters specified both a time limit of 72 hours post‐discharge and jaundice as a reason for early follow‐up.ConclusionThe early community surveillance rate for jaundice was low, contrasting with near universal compliance in those who received a specific instruction for a post‐discharge bilirubin blood test. Inclusion of specific written instructions in hospital discharge summaries was also low and may contribute to poor implementation of guidelines.
Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices

Published: November 2019

Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts and shells, have not been extensively analysed for starch remains. Moreover, there has been no comparison of culinary practices between The Bahama archipelago and the Greater Antilles (the presumed origin of foodways transported to The Bahama archipelago). The paper investigates 60 bivalve shell artefacts for starch remains, which were recovered from three archaeological sites: El Flaco and La Luperona (Dominican Republic), and Palmetto Junction (Turks & Caicos Islands). In contrast to ethnohistorical narratives that characterize shell tools exclusively as manioc peelers, the starch remains recovered in this study suggest a broader suite of plants and functions. The results provide evidence that a diversity of plants (Dioscorea spp., Dioscorea trifida L., Fabaceae, Ipomoea batatas L., Manihot esculenta Crantz, cf. Zea mays L., cf. Acrocomia media O. F. Cook, and Zingiberales) were prepared with these shells. This new evidence contributes to ongoing discussions about culinary practices in the Caribbean and other related late precolonial (c.800–1500 ce) foodways.

AbstractBackgroundAllergic sensitization to storage mites has mostly been related to occupational exposures like farming, grain/cattle handling, whereas for non‐occupational settings, storage mite sensitization has been attributed to cross‐reactivity with house dust mite (HDM) allergens.ObjectiveWe aimed to describe the prevalence of allergic sensitization to storage mites, co‐sensitization to HDM allergens and respiratory symptoms in Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.MethodsThe population comprised of 1180 participants born 1945‐1972 of the third follow‐up of the population‐based cohort European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) in Aarhus, Bergen, Reykjavik and Uppsala. A clinical examination included skin prick tests (SPT) to Lepidoglyphus destructor, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Acarus siro and common inhalant allergens, as well as standardized interviews.Results8% were sensitized to HDM and 10% to storage mite, with some variation by study centre: Reykjavik 13%, Bergen 8% and Aarhus 7%. In Uppsala, only L destructor (3%) was measured. Storage mite sensitization was higher among men (11%) than women (8%). Among storage mite sensitized, 44% were also sensitized to HDM. Storage mite sensitization was associated with asthma and nasal allergies, but not with age, education, pet keeping or place of upbringing.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceIn this Northern European population‐based study, allergic sensitization to storage mite was as common as HDM sensitization. Storage mite sensitization was, independently of HDM sensitization, associated with respiratory symptoms and asthma. Our findings suggest that storage mite sensitization should be evaluated with regard to inclusion into the common inhalant allergen panel in Northern Europe.
Parameterization, Feature Extraction and Binary Encoding for the Visualization of Tree‐Like Structures
Authors: Lichtenberg N. , Lawonn K. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe study of vascular structures, using medical 3D models, is an active field of research. Illustrative visualizations have been applied to this domain in multiple ways. Researchers made the geometric properties of vasculature more comprehensive and augmented the surface with representations of multivariate clinical data. Techniques that head beyond the application of colour‐maps or simple shading approaches require a surface parameterization, that is, texture coordinates, in order to overcome locality. When extracting 3D models, the computation of texture coordinates on the mesh is not always part of the data processing pipeline. We combine existing techniques to a simple parameterization approach that is suitable for tree‐like structures. The parameterization is done w.r.t. to a pre‐defined source vertex. For this, we present an automatic algorithm, that detects the tree root. The parameterization is partly done in screen‐space and recomputed per frame. However, the screen‐space computation comes with positive features that are not present in object‐space approaches. We show how the resulting texture coordinates can be used for varying hatching, contour parameterization, display of decals, as additional depth cues and feature extraction. A further post‐processing step based on parameterization allows for a segmentation of the structure and visualization of its tree topology.

Published: November 2019

AbstractEnsemble of classifiers can improve classification accuracy by combining several models. The fusion method plays an important role in the ensemble performance. Usually, a criterion for weighting the decision of each ensemble member is adopted. Frequently, this can be done using some heuristic based on accuracy or confidence. Then, the used fusion rule must consider the established criterion for providing a most reliable ensemble output through a kind of competition among the ensemble members. This article presents a new ensemble fusion method, named centrality score‐based fusion, which uses the centrality concept in the context of social network analysis (SNA) as a criterion for the ensemble decision. Centrality measures have been applied in the SNA to measure the importance of each person inside of a social network, taking into account the relationship of each person with all others. Thus, the idea is to derive the classifier weight considering the overall classifier prominence inside the ensemble network, which reflects the relationships among pairs of classifiers. We hypothesized that the prominent position of a classifier based on its pairwise relationship with the other ensemble members could be its weight in the fusion process. A robust experimental protocol has confirmed that centrality measures represent a promising strategy to weight the classifiers of an ensemble, showing that the proposed fusion method performed well against the literature.

AbstractAimsTo describe the real‐world prevalence and consequences of hypertriglyceridaemia.Materials and methodsWe searched two large patient databases, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2007–2014) and the Optum Research Database, as well as electronic medical records from two Kaiser Permanente regions.ResultsThe NHANES data showed that ~26% of US adults, including nearly one‐third of statin users, had at least borderline hypertriglyceridaemia (triglycerides [TGs] ≥1.69 mmol/L), and ~40% of adults with diabetes had levels of ≥150 mg/dL despite statin use. The Optum analyses demonstrated that those with TG levels ≥1.69 mmol/L who were on statins had a significantly increased risk of composite initial major cardiovascular (CV) events (hazard ratio [HR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19–1.34; P < 0.001 vs. patients with TGs <150 mg/dL). This was accompanied by increased healthcare utilization and direct healthcare costs (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08–1.16; P < 0.001). In the analyses of the Kaiser Permanente records, patients with diabetes and TG levels 2.26–5.64 mmol/L had significantly higher adjusted incidence rates of non‐fatal myocardial infarction (rate ratio 1.30, 95% CI 1.08–1.58; P = 0.006), non‐fatal stroke (rate ratio 1.23; 95% CI 1.01–1.49; P = 0.037) and coronary revascularization (rate ratio 1.21; 95% CI 1.02–1.43; P = 0.027), but not unstable angina (rate ratio 1.33; 95% CI 0.87–2.03; P = 0.185) compared with patients with TG levels <1.69 mmol/L.ConclusionsReal‐world analyses suggest that elevated TGs are prevalent and commonly associated with increased CV risk. CV outcomes trials in patients with established hypertriglyceridaemia will clarify whether strategies to reduce TG levels can ameliorate residual CV risk in patients taking statins.
Shifts in the community composition of caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) in a subtropical river over three decades

Published: November 2019

1. Trichoptera is an ecologically and taxonomically diverse order, and caddisfly species are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic threats to larval habitats, rivers, and streams.2. This study evaluated long‐term changes in caddisfly communities of the Ogeechee River, a subtropical blackwater river in the south‐eastern U.S. Coastal Plain, to understand how changes manifest as a result of ongoing human impacts. Two datasets separated by more than 30 years were used, each representing a 2‐year monthly quantitative sampling effort (1981–1983; 2015–2017).3. Community structure of the Ogeechee River caddisflies significantly changed, though not in ways that were predicted. The average sensitivity values of the caddisfly community declined, contrary to the expectation that increasing human impacts on a river ecosystem would promote the survival of more pollution‐tolerant taxa.4. Generic richness increased in the 2010s from the 1980s, perhaps as a result of relaxed competition following declines of large, dominant taxa. The increases in various taxa have resulted in similar overall abundance metrics between time periods, although other studies of Ogeechee River invertebrates indicate that the biomass of the new taxa is far lower than that produced by the assemblages of the 1980s. Functional richness, evenness, and dispersion were higher in the 2010s, but divergence was not.5. This suggests that more nuanced monitoring efforts, focused on the threats to ecological function and the role of caddisflies (and other sensitive freshwater organisms), will be required to evaluate the changes in community structure and determine which taxa are most adversely affected.
Distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative multiple criteria decision‐making methods for healthcare management in West China Hospital

Published: November 2019

AbstractIntuitionistic multiplicative sets use an asymmetric, unbalanced scale to express information from positive, negative, and indeterminate information. They have been found capable of comprehensively and objectively representing a person's intuitive understanding and hence have attracted much attention. Distance techniques are widely used to measure the degree to which arguments deviate from one another. Several fuzzy set extensions have been developed, but little research has been conducted on measures of distance between intuitionistic multiplicative sets. In this paper, we start by presenting a variety of measures of the distance between intuitionistic multiplicative sets, including Hausdorff distance measures, weighted distance measures, ordered weighted distance measures, and continuous weighted distance measures. We then develop a distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative‐technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method and a distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative‐Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje method for handling multiple criteria decision‐making problems with intuitionistic multiplicative evaluation information. To demonstrate the practical application of these distance measures and the proposed methods, we provide a case study of hospital management of inpatient admission. The paper ends with comparative analyses of the two methods and some concluding remarks.
Young Adult Women's Perceptions of Their Maritally Violent Fathers
Authors: Haselschwerdt Megan L. , Maddox Lauren , Hlavaty Kathleen 
Published: November 2019

ObjectiveTo qualitatively examine fathering and father–child relationships from the perspective of young adult women who grew up with maritally violent fathers.BackgroundMaritally violent men are consistently described as volatile, unresponsive, self‐centered, and often abusive. Yet domestic violence (DV) perpetrators are not homogenous, suggesting that maritally violent fathers may not be homogenous either. The revised tripartite model of father involvement and Johnson's typology of DV were applied to better understand how maritally violent men father.MethodA theoretical thematic analysis was conducted based on interview data from a volunteer sample of 23 young adult women who were exposed to father‐perpetrated marital violence during childhood and adolescence.ResultsFindings were consistent with the small body of literature on fathering by maritally violent men, suggesting that these men as fathers are generally volatile, lack warmth and responsiveness, are disengaged, and sometimes are controlling and abusive. Nevertheless, dissimilarities in fathering and father–child relationships over time were identified such that participants categorized into coercive controlling violence exposure reported uniformly negative fathering experiences, whereas greater variability existed within the situational couple violence groups' recollections of their fathers over time.ImplicationsFindings suggest that practitioners should take into consideration the context in which DV occurs when working with maritally violent men as fathers, while erring on the side of caution and safety for victimized women and their children.
Awareness‐raising activities for community residents about decision‐making regarding end‐of‐life care: A nationwide survey in Japan municipalities

Published: November 2019

AimThe purpose of the present study was to clarify the current state of awareness‐raising activities to educate residents about decision‐making regarding end‐of‐life care using a nationwide survey of municipalities in Japan.MethodsA cross‐sectional questionnaire‐based survey of all municipalities in Japan (n = 1741) was carried out. We asked one representative from each municipality whether or not there were ongoing municipality‐led activities to raise awareness and educate the community about end‐of‐life care decisions. A logistic regression analysis was carried out to examine the regional characteristics associated with running municipality‐led awareness‐raising activities. Additionally, we investigated the creation and contents of awareness‐raising materials targeting residents.ResultsThe questionnaire was completed by 1145 municipalities (valid response rate 65.8%). We found that 39.4% of the municipalities surveyed were currently running or planning activities about end‐of‐life care. Municipalities with active public awareness campaigns had a significantly higher financial capability index than inactive municipalities. Awareness‐raising materials targeting residents were created in 134 of the municipalities. The most frequently mentioned components of the materials were the importance of articulating one's intentions with regard to end‐of‐life care services in advance, sharing those feelings with the family and revisiting them repeatedly (73.9%), and the explanation of home healthcare and long‐term care services (47.7%).ConclusionsThe present findings suggest that cities with tight budgets are unable to carry out activities to raise awareness and educate residents about end‐of‐life care. Thus, it is important to pursue the implementation of further national‐level initiatives and funding support for municipalities. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20: 72–77.

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe densification of CaLa2S4 (CLS) powders prepared by combustion method was investigated by the use of Field‐Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST) and Hot Pressing (HP). CLS powders were sintered using FAST at 1000°C at different pressures and heating rates and sintered by HP under 120 MPa from 800°C to 1100°C for 6 hours with a heating rate of 10°C/min. Comparison of both techniques was further realized by use of the same conditions of pressure, dwell time, and heating rate. Complementary techniques (XRD, SEM‐EDS, density measurements, FTIR spectroscopy) were employed to correlate the sintering processes/parameters to the microstructural/compositional developments and optical transmission of the ceramics. Both sintering techniques produce ceramics with submicrometer grain size and relative density of about 99%. Nevertheless, HP is more suitable to densify CLS ceramics without fragmentation and also reach higher transmission than FAST. Transmission of 40%–45% was measured out of a possible maximum of 69% based on the Fresnel losses in the 8‐14 μm window when HP is applied at 1000°C for 6 hours under 120 MPa. In both techniques, ceramics undergo reduction issues that originate from graphitic sintering atmosphere.
Enhancement of electrical properties in the ternary PMN–PT–PZ through compositional variation, crystallographic texture, and quenching

Published: November 2019

AbstractTernary compositions of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbZrO3–PbTiO3 (PMN–PZT) piezoelectric ceramic have been investigated with an aim to optimize the electrical properties for piezoelectric applications. Quenching from temperatures above the Curie point was proved to enhance the properties up to two folds in the 0.40PMN–0.25PZ–0.35PT composition. This enhancement is believed to have arisen as a result of the freezing of defect dipoles in their random distribution, and thus prevention of their domain pinning effect. Texturing the optimum composition using BaTiO3 template particles through templated grain growth process and quenching the textured ceramic led to further enhancement with piezoelectric charge coefficient increasing from 190 to 750 pC/N, relative permittivity increasing from 860 to 1815 and remanent polarization increasing from 16 to 30 μC/cm2.
