Herbal infusions and health
Authors: Etheridge Christopher John , Derbyshire Emma 
Published: January 2020

PurposeIncreasingly, interest in and the uptake of herbal infusions has advanced, namely, owing to their bioactive properties and potential links to health. Given this, the purpose of the present review was to collate evidence from human trials for five popular herbal infusions.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic review comprised ten human trials (560 participants), investigating inter-relationships between herbal infusions consumption and health. Only human studies involving German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L. Asteraceae), ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe Zingiberaceae), lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L. Lamiaceae), peppermint (Mentha x spicata L. Lamiaceae)/spearmint (Mentha spicata L. Lamiaceae) and rosehip (Rosa canina L. Rosaceae) teas were included in the present paper.FindingsMost herbal infusions serve as a good source of flavonoids and other polyphenols in the human diet. Studies included in this paper indicate that herbal infusions (1-3 cups tended to be drank daily; infusion rates up to 15 min) could benefit certain aspects of health. In particular, this includes aspects of sleep quality and glycaemic control (German chamomile), osteoarthritic stiffness and hormone control (spearmint), oxidative stress (lemon balm) and primary dysmenorrhea (rosehip).Research limitations/implicationsOngoing research is needed using homogenous herbal infusion forms, brewing rates and volumes of water to further reinforce these findings. In the meantime, herbal infusions could provide a useful supplementary approach to improving certain aspects of well-being.Originality/valueThe present paper collates evidence from human trials for five popular herbal infusions.
Triangulation with video observation when studying teachers’ practice
Authors: Molbæk Mette , Kristensen Rune Müller 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss methodological issues concerning the use of video observation of a single lesson as a supplement to interviews when studying teachers’ practice and competencies.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a Danish follow-up study focused on teachers’ practice as a jumping-off point, the authors address both opportunities and challenges when triangulating interviews with video observations of a single lesson. The discussion is structured around the four challenges when using video observations presented by Derry et al. (2010), namely selection, technology, analysis and ethics.

Findings
Based on experiences from the follow-up study, the use of video observations for triangulation has the potential to nuance the meanings ascribed to teachers’ practice. This approach entails productive challenges that can support the more nuanced and diverse perspectives on teachers’ practice if used proactively.

Originality/value
Although there is a wide body of literature on conducting interviews and observations when studying teachers’ practice, the use of a combination of interviews and video observations is seldom addressed. This paper presents concrete experience of how to capture different aspects of teachers’ practice by triangulating data generated from interviews and from video observations in a research design with limited resources. The authors discuss what to consider when planning and conducting video observations of a single lesson as part of an interview-based study.
What a highly controversial ethnography says about tensions, problematizations and inequality in contemporary ethnographic practice and regulation
Authors: Au Anson 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to illuminate how inequality – in the way ethnography as a research tool itself is used – underwrites many of the methodological tensions in the recently published and widely-debatedOn the Run: Fugitive Life in an American Cityby Alice Goffman.Design/methodology/approachThe author conducts an in-depth, critical analysis ofOn the Runas an epistemological case to visualize methodological and moral challenges that burden ethnographic practice at large.FindingsThe author opens dialogue on undercover ethnography, the overreach of institutional review boards, privilege in the use of ethnography as a research tool, “Othering” and the exoticization of the underclass, and the boundary shift from observer to participant roles with deep immersion. The author unpacks these areas of contention toward the construction of a potential alternative combining public sociology with what is called a sociology of compassion.Originality/valueWhile the book provides an intimate, rich account of the experience of law among the underclass, the author demonstrates that it constitutes an epistemological case ideal for examining how the issues of pre-fieldwork preparation, positionality and deep immersion are conceived – and problematized – in mainstream ethnographic practice.
Backward supply chain information sharing: who does it benefit?
Authors: Han Zhaojun , Huo Baofeng , Zhao Xiande 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the effect of backward supply chain information sharing (SCIS) on the performance of different parties along supply chains.Design/methodology/approachUsing data collected from 617 Chinese manufacturers, this study examines the effect of information sharing from manufacturers to suppliers (ISMS) on supplier and manufacturer responsiveness in both two- and three-tier supply chains and the transferrable effect of information sharing from customers to manufacturers (ISCM) on supplier responsiveness. The authors use structural equation modeling and regression analysis to estimate the proposed relationships.FindingsISMS is positively related to supplier responsiveness in both two- and three-tier SCIS, whereas its effect on manufacturer responsiveness is conditional, indicating that upstream receiving parties benefit more from backward SCIS. ISCM is positively related to supplier responsiveness, demonstrating the transferable effect of backward SCIS.Practical implicationsWhen designing SCIS strategies, managers should take into account the unequal distribution of benefits from SCIS and the transferable effect of backward SCIS. Specifically, companies should always motivate their downstream partners to engage in SCIS, while they themselves need to be cautious with information sharing. They should also be aware that their information sharing behavior may benefit a third upstream party.Originality/valueThis study provides deep insights into the distribution of the benefits from SCIS among supply chain partners and suggests that the direction and the role supply chain partners play (as receiving or disclosing parties) in SCIS matter.
Movement difficulties in children with ADHD: Comparing the long‐ and short‐form Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency—Second Edition (BOT‐2)
Authors: Mancini Vincent , Rudaizky Daniel , Howlett Sarah , Elizabeth‐Price Jordan , Chen Wai 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAimsUp to 50% of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) also present with difficulties with motor proficiency. Several assessments of motor proficiency are available for occupational therapists, though the validity of these measures in an ADHD population requires further exploration. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the consistency of scores obtained using the long‐form and short‐form of the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency—Second Edition (BOT‐2) in a school‐age ADHD sample.MethodThe BOT‐2 long‐form was administered to 84 school‐age children (78 males) with ADHD; short‐form scores were extracted from the relevant long‐form items.ResultsLong‐form and short‐form total scores were highly correlated (r = .87), though the average short‐form score was significantly higher. As a categorical measure, 52 children were classified as “at‐risk” for movement difficulties by the long‐form; but only 36 by the short‐form, yielding a false‐negative rate of 30.77%. The sensitivity of short‐form could be improved by raising the cut‐off thresholds of short‐form scores as identified by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis but did not yield practical utility.InterpretationAs a continuous indicator (i.e. total scores), the short‐form is comparable to the long‐form. However, the short‐form overestimates the child's motor proficiency relative to the long‐form and yields an unacceptably high rate of false negatives as a categorical measure. The current revision of the short‐form is therefore not recommended as a screening nor diagnostic instrument in an ADHD population. In the absence of ADHD‐specific norms, use of the long‐form provides greater opportunity for occupational therapists to identify those at‐risk for movement difficulties. However, any assessment of motor proficiency should be accompanied by a broader comprehensive assessment to best understand a child's motor functioning.
China and Global Governance: Opportunistic Multilateralism
Authors: Kastner Scott L. , Pearson Margaret M. , Rector Chad 
Published: January 2020

AbstractUS policy toward the People's Republic of China (PRC) has come under increasing attack in Washington, as a growing chorus of analysts paints the PRC has a revisionist power seeking to undercut existing multilateral institutions. We observe, however, that China's approach to multilateralism varies across different issue areas, and we argue and show that China's approach differs depending on the strategic landscape of any given context. We conclude that it is thus a mistake to view China through a single lens as either a ‘revisionist’ or a ‘status‐quo’ power.
Nitric oxide: To be or not to be an endocrine hormone?
Authors: Bahadoran Zahra , Carlström Mattias , Mirmiran Parvin , Ghasemi Asghar 
Published: January 2020

AbstractNitric oxide (NO), a highly reactive gasotransmitter, is critical for a number of cellular processes and has multiple biological functions. Due to its limited lifetime and diffusion distance, NO has been mainly believed to act in autocrine/paracrine fashion. The increasingly recognized effects of pharmacologically delivered and endogenous NO at a distant site have changed the conventional wisdom and introduced NO as an endocrine signalling molecule. The notion is greatly supported by the detection of a number of NO adducts and their circulatory cycles, which in turn contribute to the transport and delivery of NO bioactivity, remote from the sites of its synthesis. The existence of endocrine sites of synthesis, negative feedback regulation of biosynthesis, integrated storage and transport systems, having an exclusive receptor, that is, soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), and organized circadian rhythmicity make NO something beyond a simple autocrine/paracrine signalling molecule that could qualify for being an endocrine signalling molecule. Here, we discuss hormonal features of NO from the classical endocrine point of view and review available knowledge supporting NO as a true endocrine hormone. This new insight can provide a new framework within which to reinterpret NO biology and its clinical applications.

Perceived Stigmatization and Disclosure among Individuals in Consensually Nonmonogamous Relationships
Authors: Valadez Adrian M. , Rohde Jaqueline , Tessler Jessica , Beals Kristin 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe current study aimed to identify common themes regarding stigma and identity disclosure among individuals in Consensually Nonmonogamous (CNM) relationships. Researchers conducted semistructured interviews with participants (N = 8) to gather information about their current or previous CNM relationship(s). Utilizing an Inductive Latent Thematic approach within a Constructivist framework, results indicated that the majority of the participants acknowledged CNM as being a stigmatized identity and were most likely to disclose their relationship to others if the target message recipient was perceived to be affirming and open minded. Several participants discussed their experiences and the potential consequences of being outed. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe objective of this study was to develop a prediction equation for methane‐related traits in beef cattle and evaluate this equation using datasets with different cattle breeds and roughage rates. Enteric methane emission (CH4, l/day) was measured using open‐circuit respiration chambers. Dry matter intake (DMI, kg/day), body weight (BW, kg), daily gain (DG, kg), total digestible nutrients (TDN, %DMI), and roughage rate (Rrate, %) were used as independent variables, and methane‐related traits—CH4, CH4 per DMI (CH4/DMI, l/kg), and methane conversion factor (MCF, %)—were used as dependent variables. The best‐fit equations to predict methane‐related traits using a total of 76 records were CH4 = –676.7 + 0.04194 × BW + 29.88 × DMI + 7.883 × TDN + 4.367 × Rrate, CH4/DMI = –52.24 – 1.193 × 10–3 × BW – 5.905 × DG + 1.077 × TDN + 0.5008 × Rrate, and MCF = –11.43 – 5.308 × 10–4 × BW – 1.223 × DG + 0.2336 × TDN + 0.1157 × Rrate. The predictive ability of the developed equations differed between roughage rates but not between breeds. For CH4, the predictive ability of the developed equations was better compared with previously reported equations in the low roughage rate dataset, but not in the high roughage rate dataset. Our results suggest that the developed equations of methane‐related traits can be applied in beef cattle fed with low roughage diets.

Published: January 2020

AbstractQuestionsHow does small‐scale soil disturbance influence establishment dynamics of native and exotic species along roadsides? Does soil disturbance provide potential opportunities to exotic invasions along elevational gradients? Does the established plant community after disturbance reflect the surrounding vegetation?LocationPrealps, Italy.MethodsTo disentangle the role of elevation and soil disturbance in promoting exotic invasions, we performed a manipulative experiment along 12 roads spanning an elevational gradient of ca. 1,200 m. Additionally, we sampled species richness of native and exotic plants in the surroundings of the experimental plots.ResultsSoil disturbance reduced species richness of native plants, total plant biomass and vegetation cover compared to the undisturbed plots. The decrease in species richness of natives and plant biomass was stronger at higher than lower elevations, suggesting higher colonization opportunities for exotics. However, exotic species richness did not increase with disturbance, probably due to a low propagule and colonization pressure. We observed strong species replacement between control and disturbed plots, indicating that plant communities established after disturbance were not a subset of species communities already occurring in the surrounding vegetation.ConclusionsWith increasing elevation, disturbance had a stronger negative effect on native than on exotic species. Higher elevations, hitherto considered to have low invasibility, may provide new potential colonization opportunities for exotics but only if disturbance is coupled with an increased propagule pressure. Disturbance along roadsides promoted the establishment of species that did not occur in the surrounding vegetation.
The development of the clinical assessment tool “Health and Everyday Functioning in Young Children with Cancer”

Published: January 2020

AbstractBackgroundYoung children's experiences of everyday life with cancer are vital in guiding care. The universal and interdisciplinary language of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF‐CY) has wide reaching effects for the care of young children in need. The aim of this study was to select and validate the content of a clinical assessment tool (CAT) for health and everyday functioning in young children with cancer.MethodsA comprehensive set of ICF‐CY codes (n = 70) mapping everyday function and health was previously identified from the transcripts of 12 interviews with young children with cancer and their parents at a paediatric oncology centre in the west of Sweden. Three transcripts were from data collected shortly after diagnosis, three transcripts from 6 months after diagnosis, three transcripts from 12 months after diagnosis, and three transcripts from 18 months after diagnosis. The present study involved the development of items based on the ICF‐CY codes.ResultsThe CAT consists of 52 items grouped in four dimensions: “the child herself/himself,” “the child's everyday life,” “the child's need for support,” and “the child's contacts with health care.”ConclusionThe questions correlate well with known research results and highlight areas that are important for health and everyday life for young children with cancer. This tool, based on children's experiences, can be used by both parents and health care personnel such as nurses to highlight aspects of health and function in everyday life for the young child with cancer that otherwise might be missed. This novel approach using the ICF‐CY could be used to guide the delivery of care towards living an everyday life with a long‐term illness.
Meningeal lymphatic network: The middleman of neuroinflammation
Authors: Pal Sarit , Rao Shilpa , Louveau Antoine 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe central nervous system was long thought to be an immune‐privileged organ, notably because of its lack of conventional lymphatic drainage. Years of scientific observations and the recent (re)discovery of the meningeal lymphatic system has brought new insights into the relationship of the brain with the peripheral immune system. The extended meningeal lymphatic network has been shown to be a major route for the circulation of molecular and cellular cerebrospinal fluid constituents to the cervical lymph nodes, and participates in the maintenance of brain function and the development of neurological disorders. In this review, we discuss the functional anatomy of the meningeal lymphatic network, its role in neuro‐inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders, and its therapeutic potential.
Inclusive foster care: How foster parents support cultural and relational connections for Indigenous children
Authors: Oliver Carolyn 
Published: January 2020

AbstractHow do foster parents support the relational and cultural connections of Indigenous children in care? The answer matters; the well‐being of Indigenous children depends on these connections. At one of Canada's largest Indigenous child welfare agencies, we implemented inclusive foster care, an approach requiring foster parents to engage with the family, community, and cultural life of the child for whom they care. Fifteen years later, we present findings from a thematic analysis of interviews with 13 foster parents who participated in a mixed methods study exploring inclusive foster care. We discuss foster parent strategies to support the child's family relationships: setting clear boundaries, rolling with inconsistency, and understanding the family's (hi)stories. Strategies to strengthen cultural connectedness include visiting traditional territory, using personal initiative and Indigenous knowledge, and engaging in school‐based and “multi‐purpose” cultural opportunities. Drawing on foster parent stories of success, we propose ways for social workers, foster parents, and policymakers to address the cultural and relational disruption that characterizes the experience of Indigenous children in care in colonial settler societies.
Predation of frog eggs by the water strider Gerris latiabdominis Miyamoto (Hemiptera: Gerridae)
Authors: Watanabe Reiya , Fujino Yuma , Yokoi Tomoyuki 
Published: January 2020

AbstractWater striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) are predators found on the water surface that prey mainly on arthropods. The feeding on other organisms (dead vertebrates, fishes and tadpoles) is a rare event. To our knowledge, predation of frog eggs by water striders has not yet been reported. We observed that adult water striders, Gerris latiabdominis Miyamoto, 1958 (Hemiptera: Gerridae), preyed on the eggs of three frog species, Pelophylax nigromaculata Hallowell, 1861 (Anura: Ranidae), Rana japonica Boulenger, 1879 (Anura: Ranidae), and Rhacophorus schlegelii Günther, 1858 (Anura: Rhacophoridae). We found predation by the water striders affects the survival rate of frog eggs floating on the water surface. We suggest that this hunting event would occur in water bodies in which water striders and frogs coexist, especially the region where their phenology overlaps.
Efficacy and safety of adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/d for the treatment of focal seizures: A pooled post hoc analysis of four randomized, double‐blind, phase III studies

Published: January 2020

AbstractObjectiveThis post hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/d received as modal dose, which may have differed from randomized dose, for treatment of focal seizures.MethodsData were pooled from four randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, phase III studies of adjunctive perampanel in patients (aged ≥12 years) with focal seizures, with/without focal to bilateral tonic‐clonic (FBTC) seizures: studies 304 (NCT00699972), 305 (NCT00699582), 306 (NCT00700310), and 335 (NCT01618695). Efficacy assessments included median percentage reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days and seizure‐freedom rates for patients receiving placebo and perampanel 4 mg/d (modal dose). Treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed in patients receiving perampanel 4 mg/d at their TEAE onset. Outcomes were also assessed with/without enzyme‐inducing antiseizure medications (EIASMs).ResultsThe full analysis set included 979 patients with focal seizures (placebo: n = 616 [235 with FBTC seizures]; perampanel 4 mg/d: n = 363 [134 with FBTC seizures]). Compared with placebo, perampanel 4 mg/d conferred significantly greater median percentage reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days for focal (12.6% vs 21.1%; P = .0004) and FBTC seizures (17.4% vs 49.8%; P < .0001), and seizure‐freedom rates for focal (0.8% vs 3.6%; P = .0018) and FBTC seizures (11.1% vs 18.7%; P = .0424). Seizure improvements with perampanel 4 mg/d were greater without EIASMs than with EIASMs. For assessment of TEAEs, overall 1376 patients with focal seizures received perampanel 4 mg/d at any time (FBTC seizures, n = 499). TEAEs with perampanel 4 mg/d occurred in 419 of 1376 (30.5%) and 148 of 499 (29.7%) patients with focal and FBTC seizures, respectively; most common was dizziness. The proportion of TEAEs was similar with or without EIASMs.SignificanceThis post hoc analysis showed adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/d was efficacious and well tolerated in patients with focal seizures, with or without FBTC seizures. This dose may be a valuable treatment option in patients unable to tolerate higher perampanel doses up to 12 mg/d.
