Lone Star Wars: LNGs, communities and globalization versus local resistance in the Laguna Madre region of coastal South Texas
Authors: Garrett Terence , Sementelli Arthur 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This study aims to theoretically contextualize the liquefied natural gas (LNG) issue using Bauman and Debord. More generally, this research provides a theoretical and qualitative context to understand the LNG issue in discussions of environmental management, globalization and local government.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses Boje’s narrative case study approach to analyze the politics around localized resistance movements to LNG production in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). Specifically, this study examines the data collected from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, personal interviews and public declarations (newspapers, blogs, social media) to create an historiographical account of LNGs in the RGV to analyze the Laguna Madre resistance case regarding three LNG companies.

Findings
The development of LNG in Laguna Madre has been at least temporarily halted. This is considered partially because of the pandemic, reduced demand and local resistance. In the Laguna Madre case, controlling narratives by the LNG resistance appeared to be an essential component of their overall strategy.

Originality/value
Understanding the impact of energy development locally and globally becomes increasingly important, as access to fossil fuels become more limited. This case helps understand the overall adverse actions taken by LNGs to exploit communities, individuals and the environment while illustrating practical tools being used to resist the less desirable elements of energy development.

Abstract

Natural forest succession after disturbances is one of the most important restoration strategies. However, the responses of ecosystem multifunctionality during natural forest succession remains poorly understood in forest ecosystem.

Here we evaluated how the ecosystem multifunctionality including nutrient cycling, carbon stocks, water regulation, decomposition, wood production and symbiosis develops using a chronosequence, and identified the key factors contributing to the variations in the ecosystem multifunctionality during natural forest succession.

We provide evidence that the ecosystem multifunctionality gradually increased along with succession stages. The individual functions of carbon stocks and water regulation also exhibited increasing patterns with stand development. The microbial diversity were more principal factors than plant diversity and soil properties for the explanation of changes in the ecosystem multifunctionality. The regression analysis showed that the diversity of bacteria, general fungi, actinomycetes, nematodes, G+ bacteria and G− bacteria significantly and positively associated with ecosystem multifunctionality. Soil nematodes exhibited significantly positive correlation with most of the individual functions.

Synthesis and applications. Taken together, our results demonstrate that natural forest restoration plays a key role in promoting ecosystem multifunctionality, and emphasize the importance of soil microbial diversity for the maintenance of ecosystem functions and health.
An innovative approach combining metabarcoding and ecological interaction networks for selecting candidate biological control agents

Published: September 2021

AbstractClassical biological control (CBC) can be used to decrease the density of invasive species to below an acceptable ecological and economic threshold. Natural enemies specific to the invasive species are selected from its native range and released into the invaded range. This approach has drawbacks, despite the performance of specificity tests to ensure its safety, because the fundamental host range defined under controlled conditions does not represent the actual host rangein natura, and these tests omit indirect interactions within community.We focus onSonchus oleraceus(Asteraceae), a weed species originating from Western Palearctic that is invasive in many countries and notably in Australia. We explore how analyses of interaction network within its native range can be used to (a) inventory herbivores associated to the target plant, (b) characterize their ecological host ranges and (c) guide the selection of candidate biocontrol agents considering interactions with species from higher trophic levels. Arthropods were collected from plant community sympatric toS. oleraceus, in three bioclimatic regions, and interactions were inferred by a combination of molecular and morphological approaches.The networks reconstructed were structured in several trophic levels from basal species (plant community), to intermediate and top species (herbivorous arthropods and their natural enemies). The sub‐network centred onS. oleraceus‐related interactions contained 116 taxa and 213 interactions. We identified 47 herbivores feeding onS. oleraceus, 15 of which were specific to the target species. Some discrepancies with respect to published findings or conventional specificity tests suggested possible insufficient sampling effort for the recording of interactions or the existence of cryptic species. Among potential candidate agents, six exhibited interactions with natural enemies.Synthesis and applications. Adopting a network approach as prerequisite step of the classical biological control programme can provide a rapid screening of potential agents to be tested in priority. Once ecological host range defined, we suggest that priority should be given to agent used by a minimum species, and, when they exist, to agents that possess enemies from the most distant taxonomical group from those occurring in the range of introduction.
Fatherhood in Labour Zionist Children's Literature: Space, Masculinity and Hegemony in Mandate Palestine
Authors: Boord Matan 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis article analyses the connection between gender and fatherhood in Labour Zionist children's literature during the formative years of the Zionist project which preceded the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Contrary to most similar social movements in the interwar period, Labour Zionism was leading a settler‐colonial project with the imperative to expand the Jewish presence throughout the country, making the category of space particularly relevant to the success of its hegemonic project. This article contributes to the understanding of the role of gender in the process of Zionist settlement and colonisation, and at the same time calls for more attention to the entanglement of gender and masculinity with space in the study of colonial history.

AbstractBackgroundFor early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection is considered the most effective treatment strategy and curative treatment. Unfortunately, even after complete resection, almost half of all patients with stage I–IIIA NSCLC relapse and die. Although the possibility of a cure for postoperative recurrence of NSCLC is significantly low, the course of subsequent treatment can possibly affect overall survival (OS). Here, we examined the association of relapse‐free survival (RFS) and post‐progression survival (PPS) with OS in patients with postoperative recurrence of NSCLC.MethodsWe evaluated 128 patients with NSCLC who underwent complete resection between January 2007 and December 2018. The association between RFS and PPS on OS was examined at the patient level.ResultsSpearman's rank correlation and linear regression analyses revealed that PPS was strongly correlated with OS (r = 0.83, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.72), whereas RFS was weakly associated with OS (r = 0.56, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.37). Additionally, the performance status at relapse and administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors were significantly correlated with PPS.ConclusionsPPS was significantly more strongly correlated with OS than was RFS in patients with postoperative recurrence of NSCLC. These results suggest that therapy following postoperative recurrence affects OS. Therefore, it is necessary to validate these promising results in a large prospective study.

AbstractBackgroundPostoperative air leaks are a common complication after lung surgery. They are associated with prolonged hospital stay, increased postoperative pain and treatment costs. The treatment of prolonged air leaks remains controversial. Several treatments have been proposed including different types of sealants, chemical pleurodesis, or early surgical intervention. The aim of this review was to analyze the impact of autologous blood pleurodesis in a systematic way.MethodsA systematic review of the literature was conducted until July 2020. Studies with more than five adult patients undergoing lung resections were included. Studies in patients receiving blood pleurodesis for pneumothorax were excluded. The search strategy included proper combinations of the MeSH terms “air leak”, “blood transfusion” and “lung surgery”.ResultsTen studies with a total of 198 patients were included in the analysis. The pooled success rate for sealing the air leak within 48 h of the blood pleurodesis was 83.7% (95% CI: 75.7; 90.3). The pooled incidence of the post‐interventional empyema was 1.5%, with a pooled incidence of post‐interventional fever of 8.6%.ConclusionsCurrent evidence supports the idea that autologous blood pleurodesis leads to a faster healing of postoperative air leaks than conservative treatment. The complication rate is very low. Formal recommendations on how to perform the procedure are not possible with the current evidence. A randomized controlled trial in the modern era is necessary to confirm the benefits.
“Revenue Generating Machines”? London’s Local Housing Companies and the Emergence of Local State Rentierism
Authors: Penny Joe 
Published: September 2021

AbstractSince 2010, faced with deep austerity measures, 27 London councils have set up a housing company to acquire, develop, and manage housing. Following 40 years of privatisation, these council‐owned companies have been celebrated as a post‐neoliberal municipal alternative to the hegemony of market‐led urban policy. By developing commodified real estate and monetising rising land values, they promise to deliver well‐designed housing, generate long‐term fiscal rents, and secure local state autonomy. Drawing on in‐depth empirical research, this paper develops a situated political economic critique of the limitations, contradictions, and risks of local housing companies in London. Framed as a “critical case”, providing insight into the politics of speculative urban provisioning and land value extraction, I argue that local housing companies represent a mode of municipal statecraft—a local state rentierism—that leans into and reproduces a political economy of financialisation and rentierism with potentially long‐term implications for collective urban provisioning.

SummaryBackgroundProton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are well tolerated in the short term but have recently been associated with increased long‐term cardiovascular risk in observational studies.AimsTo evaluate long‐term risks of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischaemic stroke (IS) associated with PPI vs H2‐receptor antagonist (H2RA) therapy in adults without pre‐existing cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseaseMethodsUsing administrative claims data (2008–2018), we emulated a target trial comparing MI and IS risks in new users of PPIs vs H2RAs. Treatment was identified using dispensed prescriptions. MI and IS were defined using hospital discharge codes. Inverse probability weighting was used to adjust for confounding, and Cox models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs). Survival curves were estimated using weighted Kaplan‐Meier estimators.ResultsWe identified 1 143 948 new users of PPIs and 36 229 new users of H2RAs who were free of prevalent cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. The mean follow‐up time was 6.2 years for PPI initiators and 5.3 years for H2RA initiators. After 10 years, the HRs for MI and IS were 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80‐1.16) and 0.98 (95% CI: 0.89‐1.08), respectively.ConclusionsThis analysis of claims data of a large German health insurer did not provide evidence that PPI therapy increased the risk of MI or IS in the first decade after treatment initiation.
Enhancing work‐life balance using a resilience framework
Authors: Marques Vanda C. , Berry Gregory R. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractWork‐life balance is achieved when equilibrium between work and other life domains is viable and sustainable. The benefits of having work and non‐work life in balance impact both individual employees and employers. The benefit of work‐life balance to employees includes less stress and a sense of personal control over schedules and responsibilities. The benefit to employers is that a more satisfied and less stressed workforce has potential for greater stability and productivity. Although work‐life balance research identifies work‐life balance issues, the research is vague in terms of resolving and fixing problems or conflict. Insights from the research on resilience provide a framework of moving toward resolution once work‐life balance issues are identified. The resilience framework identifies behaviors/tasks/responsibilities as either energy and life enhancing or energy and life depleting. Although every individual has unique work‐life balance issues, the universal key for improved work‐life balance is to increase the weight and impact of enhancers and reduce the weight and impact of depleters. This paper offers an analytical resilience framework for examining and improving work‐life balance, supplemented with three mini‐cases followed by work‐life balance and resilience analysis of the cases, demonstrating the strength and benefits of the resilience framework.

Published: September 2021

AimsPalivizumab is a monoclonal antibody which can prevent infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Due to its high cost, it is recommended for high‐risk infants only. We aimed to determine the proportion of infants eligible for palivizumab treatment in England who receive at least one dose.MethodsWe used the Hospital Treatment Insights database, which contains hospital admission records linked to hospital pharmacy dispensing data for 43 out of 153 hospitals in England. Infants born between 2010 and 2016 were considered eligible for palivizumab if their medical records indicated chronic lung disease (CLD), congenital heart disease (CHD) or severe immunodeficiency (SCID), and they met additional criteria based on gestational age at birth and age at start of the RSV season (beginning of October). We calculated the proportion of infants who received at least one dose of palivizumab in their first RSV season, and modelled the odds of treatment according to multiple child characteristics using logistic regression models.ResultsWe identified 3712 eligible children, of whom 2479 (67%) had complete information on all risk factors. Palivizumab was prescribed to 832 of eligible children (34%). Being born at <30 weeks' gestation, aged <6 months at the start of RSV season, and having two or more of CLD, CHD or SCID were associated with higher odds of treatment.ConclusionIn England, palivizumab is not prescribed to the majority of children who are eligible to receive it. Doctors managing these infants may be unfamiliar with the eligibility criteria or constrained by other considerations, such as cost.

AbstractParaquat is responsible for an extremely high case‐fatality rate poisoning. Mortality prediction remains a major issue since evidence to support benefits of routinely used treatments is lacking. We aimed to develop an easy‐to‐use prediction flowchart not requiring the ingestion time, for which accuracy is frequently questionable, and to evaluate the effectiveness of routinely used pharmacological therapies on mortality. We designed a two‐centre cohort study including consecutive paraquat‐poisoned adults with confirmed diagnosis based on serum/urine paraquat measurement. We built a flowchart using a multivariate analysis of death predictors and analysed the outcome according to the administered therapies. Overall, 256 patients were enrolled. Mortality rate was 75%. Independent death predictors on admission were serum creatinine (odds ratio [OR], 5.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.97–13.05) and serum paraquat concentration (OR, 2.26; CI, 1.66–3.09). The area‐under‐the flowchart curve was 0.91. Overall sensitivity and specificity were 81.5% and 94.8%, respectively. More survivors than non‐survivors of severe poisoning received methylprednisolone (P = 0.04). While not significantly differing in severity, methylprednisolone‐treated patients had better survival (P = 0.04). To conclude, we defined an efficient flowchart to predict mortality in paraquat poisoning at presentation, even if ingestion time is undetermined. Methylprednisolone seems effective to improve the outcome, especially in the most severe cases.
Evolution of normal fault displacement and length as continental lithosphere stretches
Authors: Pan Sophie , Bell Rebecca E. , Jackson Christopher A.‐L. , Naliboff John 
Published: September 2021

AbstractContinental rifting is accommodated by the development of normal fault networks. Fault growth patterns control their related seismic hazards, and the tectonostratigraphic evolution and resource and CO2 storage potential of rifts. Our understanding of fault evolution is largely derived by observing the final geometry and displacement (D)‐length (L) characteristics of active and inactive fault arrays, and by subsequently inferring their kinematics. We can rarely determine how these geometric properties change through time, and how the growth of individual fault arrays relate to the temporal evolution of their host networks. Here we use 3D seismic reflection and borehole data from the Exmouth Plateau, NW Shelf, Australia to determine the growth of rift‐related, crustal‐scale fault arrays and networks over geological timescales (>106 Ma). The excellent‐quality seismic data allows us to reconstruct the entire Jurassic‐to‐Early Cretaceous fault network over a relatively large area (ca. 1,200 km2). We find that fault trace lengths were established early, within the first ca. 7.2 Myr of rifting, and that along‐strike migration of throw maxima towards the centre of individual fault arrays occurred after ca. 28.5 Myr of rifting. Faults located in stress shadows become inactive and appear under‐displaced relative to adjacent larger faults, onto which strain localises as rifting proceeds. This implies that the scatter frequently observed in D‐L plots can simply reflect fault growth and network maturity. We show that by studying complete rift‐related normal networks, rather than just individual fault arrays, we can better understand how faults grow and more generally how continental lithosphere deforms as it stretches.

Published: September 2021

BackgroundAdmission rates to child and adolescent mental health inpatient units in Germany are substantial (58.831 admissions in 2019). Historically, different treatment pathways have not been available. The evidence suggests that home treatment could be an alternative. The objective of this study was to assess the long‐term stability of treatment gains among children and adolescents treated for serious mental health problems with home treatment (HT) as compared with inpatient treatment‐as‐usual (TAU).MethodsHundred patients were enrolled and randomized into an intervention (HT n = 54) and control group (TAU n = 46). Follow‐up data were available after 8.4 months (n = 78) (T3) and after 4.3 years (n = 51) (T4). The primary outcome measured was overall level of functioning, for which the Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) was used. Secondary outcomes included severity of patient impairment and parental competency in dealing with their child's symptoms, measured using the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOSCA). A qualitative interview with parents was performed at T3 and T4.ResultsTreatment effects remained stable for both groups at T3 and T4 (p < .001). After 4.3 years 70% of the parents in the intervention group stated satisfaction with the treatment received, while only 36.8% of the parents within the control group rated themselves as satisfied. 43.7% of parents in the home treatment group reported that the most helpful aspect of this pathway was the prompt and intensive professional help and advice they received as primary caregivers at home.ConclusionsHome treatment may be considered a viable alternative to inpatient care.
