“Going into the Field”
Authors: Gyawali Varsha , Selim Yvette 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article examines two female researchers’ fieldwork experiences researching the transitional justice process in post-conflict Nepal. Drawing on social anthropology and applied research, it explores the complexities of researcher positionality, including their gender and social status, and addresses the challenges of engaging with the “local” and managing emotions. The authors argue that researchers need to move beyond self-awareness and sit in the complex, liminal space to examine the changing agency between researched and researchers. This article also contributes to the insider/outsider dichotomy and promotes two primary reflexive practices in ethnographic research. It contributes to discussions on intersectionality of researchers’ positions, emphasizing the relational and situational nature of social identities, and the need for a nuanced understanding of the fluidities of researchers’ roles in the field.
The Power of Water
Authors: Haugegaard Rikke 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Building on fieldwork with the Danish Frogman Corps and the Ghana Navy Special Boat Squadron (Ghana Navy SBS), this article discusses how naval special warfare operators train for combat by learning to maneuver in water. The article argues that operators familiarize themselves with underwater work through “water habituation.” It presents unique ethnographic data from sessions, where operators learn to perform edgework by navigating the space between uncertainty and control. The article contributes to discussions about professional edgework and socialization, analyzing how operators learn to control their emotions when preparing for combat. In understanding naval special warfare, it holds, we need to study the trained, controlled response to emotions of fear. Thus, the learned ability to enter “a state of calmness” during extreme situations makes these operators an efficient political tool able to conduct high-risk operations worldwide.
Dirty Borders, Clean Women
Authors: Whittaker Catherine , Dürr Eveline 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
How do Mexican-American women in the US-Mexico borderlands respond to insecurity relating to multiple forms of discrimination? The present article compares the experiences of women of different class and ethnic backgrounds to analyze their gendered watchfulness in response to the racialized and classed anti-immigrant vigilance of privileged Anglo-Americans. We argue that, in a context of ongoing coloniality, maintaining an exploitable racialized and gendered sub-worker class requires conjuring the illusion of the border as a necessary security feature. Mexican-American women's watchfulness strategies, including professionalism, beauty practices, and artistic performances, instead makes visible the ways in which the border as the margin of the state actively produces insecurity and violence. Viewing security from the margins of the margins allows us to expand and decolonize previous understandings.

scoping review
Authors: Tramontano Marco , Polo Nicoletta , Bustos Amaranta Orejel , Lisi Danilo , Galeoto Giovanni , Farsetti Pasquale 
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:
The SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) has generated a threat to
global health, determining the need for healthcare for large numbers of
people in an extremely short time

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the management changes in the neurorehabilitation
services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS:
An electronic search was conducted in September 2021 by 2
independent reviewers in the following databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), the
Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic
Reviews. All studies on organizational and welfare changes resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic in neurorehabilitation services were
included. Screening of titles, abstracts, and full texts and data
extraction were undertaken independently by pairs of reviewers.

RESULTS:
The summary of results was reported following the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for
scoping reviews. Electronic searches after the screening of title and
abstract identified 80 studies, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. A
narrative summary of results of all included studies were reported in a
tabular format.

CONCLUSIONS:
Different organizational models were adopted in neurorehabilitation
during the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the therapies time frame, the
physical and mental health of healthcare professionals and the
caregiver’s workload. There is still uncertainty about the effectiveness
of these new therapeutic strategies on the management of
neurorehabilitation services and future studies should explore the
effect on the patients’ needs.
Identification and Evaluation of Different Roots of Ophiopogon Japonicus
Authors: Song Jiuhua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract: The tuberous root of Ophiopogon japonicus is a traditional Chinese medicine, with the main function of moistening the lungs, nourishing yin, generating fluids, and relieving coughs. The fibrous root was connected to the tuberous root, but as a non-medicinal part, it has been discarded. However, due to the shortage of Ophiopogon japonicus resources and might be due to similarities in color and smell, fibrous roots tend to be used as tuberous roots to relieve the pressure of demand. So, Ophiopogon japonicus might suffer from quality inconsistencies. To address these challenges, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chemical quantitative fingerprinting was adopted to evaluate and discriminate the fibrous root and tuberous root from the whole chemical profile level. In this sample extraction procedure, chromatographic conditions were optimized to obtain a comprehensive and detailed metabolomic fingerprint. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), gray relational analysis (GRA), PCA (principal components analysis) and PLS-DA (partial least squares discriminant analysis), were used to evaluate and distinguish the different parts of Ophiopogon japonicus from Leshan. The results showed that there were significant differences in the content of bioactive components between tuberous roots and fibrous roots. This research provides a new insight into quality control and comprehensive evaluation of different parts of Ophiopogon japonicus

East Tanjung Jabung District is one of the rice barns in Jambi Province, with rice production in 2022 reaching 24,562 tons of GKG, making it the 3rd largest district in rice production in Jambi Province. However, the district faces several problems related to the rice supply chain, such as long supply chains and poor information flow due to inadequate infrastructure. This study aims to understand the rice supply chain mechanism in East Tanjung Jabung Regency. A descriptive analysis method using the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) approach was used in this study. Farmers were randomly sampled to obtain 72 farmers, while traders were sampled using the snowball sampling method. The results show that the majority of rice production in this district is aimed at meeting local and out-of-region markets, with development targets including increased production and distribution. The supply chain structure involves farmers, village intermediaries, rice mills, district intermediaries, and retailers. They select partners based on price, experience, personal relationships, trust, and information disclosure. Agreements between farmers and traders are informal, while the government provides support through various programs and assistance. Transactions in the supply chain are conducted in cash. Farmers, rice millers, and traders have resources. There are six patterns of supply chain channels, with smooth financial flows, but barriers to product and information flows.

The relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study of the American population
Authors: Qiu Lanlan , Wu Bo 
Published: December 2024

BackgroundHypertension can damage multiple target organs. The younger the age of onset of hypertension is, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complication of hypertension, but few studies have investigated the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.ObjectiveWe investigated the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.MethodWe analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2018. A total of 30,613 participants were assigned to one of four groups. Group 1, no hypertension (n = 19,516); Group 2, age of onset &lt;35 years (n = 2,180); Group 3, 35≤ age of onset &lt;45 years (n = 2,128); and Group 4, age of onset ≥45 years (n = 6,789). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.ResultsAfter adjusting for potential confounders, a younger age at onset of hypertension was associated with a greater risk of developing CKD compared with the absence of hypertension (Group 2 OR: 2.52, 95% CI: 1.53–4.14, P &lt; 0.001; Group 3 OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.01–2.51, P = 0.048; Group 4 OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.00–2.38, P = 0.050).ConclusionsThere was a strong association between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD. The younger the age of onset of hypertension is, the greater the risk of CKD.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundCardiovascular biomarkers are crucial for monitoring cancer therapy-related cardiac toxicity, but the effects on early stage are still inadequate. To screen biomarkers in patients with breast cancer who receive anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, we studied the behavior of six biomarkers during chemotherapy and their association with chemotherapy-related cardiac toxicity.MethodsIn a prospective cohort of 73 patients treated with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, and heart-fatty acid binding protein were measured at baseline, during chemotherapy cycle (C1–C6). According to whether arrhythmia occurred, patients were divided into two groups (healthy group or arrhythmias group), and basic clinical characteristics were collected and compared. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were conducted to investigate the association between the changes in biomarkers and arrhythmia.ResultssST2 levels increased significantly from baseline to C1 (P &lt; 0.01). NT-proBNP levels decreased from baseline to C1 and C5 (P &lt; 0.01). The logistic regression analysis showed a greater risk of arrhythmia was associated with interval changes in sST2 [odds ratio (OR): 1.27; 95% CI: 1.03–1.56; P = 0.024] and NT-proBNP (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.70–0.98; P = 0.029). The ROC curves showed that ΔsST2, ΔNT-proBNP, and ΔsST2 + ΔNT-proBNP had good predictive value for arrhythmia (areas under the curves were 0.631, 0.633, and 0.735, respectively, P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsEarly changes in sST2 and NT-proBNP levels offer additive information for early arrhythmia prediction in breast cancer patients who receive anthracycline-containing chemotherapy.

Published: December 2024

ObjectiveThis study compared the value of different systemic immune-inflammatory markers for evaluating coronary collateralization (CC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic total occlusion (CTO).MethodsSystemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inﬂammation response index (SIRI) and pan-immune-inﬂammation value (PIV) were calculated at admission in 1409 T2DM patients with CTO. The degree of coronary collaterals was estimated using the Rentrop scoring system and categorized into poor (Rentrop score 0 or 1) or good (Rentrop score 2 or 3) CC. The predictors of poor CC were determined by multivariate regression analysis, and the diagnostic potential of these indexes was analyzed by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.ResultsSII, SIRI and PIV levels increased stepwise across Rentrop score 0–3, with significantly higher levels in patients with poor CC than in those with good CC (P &lt; 0.001). After adjusting for confounders, SII, SIRI and PIV (per tertile) remained independent factors for poor CC. SII predicted poor CC better than SIRI and PIV (AUC: 0.758 vs. 0.680 and 0.698, all P &lt; 0.001). There existed an interaction between blood concentration of HbA1c and SII (P &lt; 0.001), with high SII levels being associated with a greater risk (OR: 5.058 vs. 2.444) and providing a better predictive ability for poor CC (AUC: 0.817 vs. 0.731) in patients with HbA1c &lt; 6.5% compared to those with HbA1c ≥ 6.5%.ConclusionOur study shows that elevated SII provides a better prediction for poor CC in T2DM patients with CTO especially at good glycemic control.
