ABSTRACTObjectivesPregnant women had a large demand for diagnosis and treatment, but the clinical research was not sufficient, and there were many barriers for pregnant women to participate in clinical research. This study aimed to systematically identify these barriers and facilitators, map them with Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs) to inform the development of interventions promoting pregnant women's involvement in clinical research.MethodsThis was a mixed‐methods systematic review. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and related references were searched. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed‐methods studies exploring barriers and facilitators to pregnant women's participation in clinical trials were included. The barriers and facilitators were extracted, after transforming the quantitative data into qualitative data, all qualitative data were used to thematic synthesis. The identified barriers and facilitators were mapped into TDF and BCTs.ResultsA total of 103 studies (66 qualitative, 24 quantitative, and 13 mixed‐methods) were included. Three main themes were formed: personal factors, environmental factors and research characteristics, with identified barriers and facilitators within each theme. “Knowledge,” “Environmental Context and Resources,” and “Beliefs about Consequences” were the main domains where barriers and facilitators identified by pregnant women and researchers were mapped in TDF. Additionally, the barriers and facilitators identified by pregnant women also mapped on “Social Influences” and “Goals.” “Instruction on how to perform a behavior,” “restructuring the physical environment,” “salience of consequences,” “social support (unspecified),” “goal setting (outcome)” were the main BCTs identified based on barriers and facilitators.ConclusionsThe barriers and facilitators to clinical research participation identified in this study involved three main themes of personal, environmental, and research characteristics, which mainly mapped to five TDF domains. Based on these barriers and facilitators, 23 BCTs were identified. Future research should focus on developing behavior change interventions, assessing their efficacy and implementability.
Can Collaboration Promote Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence From the Lab
Authors: Gomez Martinez Francisco , Onderstal Sander , Schinkel Maarten Pieter 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTDo agreements among competitors regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) promote public‐interest objectives? We address this question theoretically and experimentally in a duopoly framework in which firms choose between offering a “fair” and an “unfair” good to consumers. When the unfair good is traded, a negative externality is imposed on a third party. We vary whether or not the firms are allowed to coordinate on the type of good they sell, while remaining in price competition. We experimentally find, as the theory predicts, that only pairs of firms with low other‐regarding preferences take the opportunity to coordinate CSR to differentiate their products, implying an increase in trade of the fair good. Yet there is an indication that consumers are harmed on balance. In the total sample, there is no significant impact on the fraction of fair goods traded, average market prices, producer surplus, and consumer surplus. Other‐regarding preferences seem more important drivers of socially responsible behavior than opportunities for firms to coordinate their CSR activities.

ABSTRACTThe protection of forest resources and the safe trade of forest products require phytosanitary measures to reduce the risk of pest movement to novel environments. Heat treatment is a widely available, efficient and effective method to produce phytosanitary wood products destined for trade. Defining the minimum effective heat treatment dose required to cause the mortality of insects in wood products reduces the risk of spreading pests to novel environments with the lowest possible energy cost, which in turn reduces environmental impacts and provides confidence in current guidelines for heat treatment regulations. The minimum effective heat treatment dose (time and temperature) for Agrilus anxius (bronze birch borer) prepupae was determined using the Humble water bath applying heat in vitro. Heat treatment was assessed using a controlled increase in temperature to simulate the heat ramp applied to wood in industrial kilns and conventional heat chamber operations. Target temperatures between 51°C and 56°C for exposure durations of 15 and 30 min were tested to determine the minimum effective dose. Prepupal A. anxius did not survive exposure to 53°C, 54°C, 55°C or 56°C for 30 min or 54°C and 56°C for 15 min. Chronic or delayed mortality was observed at 53°C for 15‐min treatments. Evaluating the effect of specific heat treatment parameters for other forest pests is recommended to identify and validate the minimum temperature and time required to cause the mortality of wood pests in order to avoid introducing non‐indigenous species with wood products and limit pest movement.
The value of social capital in small business lending: Evidence from the Small Business Administration program
Authors: Duong Huu Nhan , Nguyen Thu Ha , Vu Van Hoang 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWe explore how social capital influences small business lending under the Small Business Administration (SBA) program. We find that banks reduce loan spreads for SBA borrowers located in counties with high social capital. This effect is stronger among SBA Express lenders or when lenders face higher information asymmetry, but weaker during periods of more government assistance and SBA guarantee. Firms located in higher social capital counties are also less likely to default on their loans. Overall, our findings highlight the role of social capital—as an important source of soft information— in the pricing and performance of small business loans.

ABSTRACTBackgroundPost‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIHP) predominantly affects patients with melanin‐rich skin, significantly impacting them psychosocially due to more frequent and severe pigmentary changes. In this study, the efficacy of a novel depigmenting agent 2‐mercaptonicotinoyl glycine (Melasyl) in a dermocosmetic (DC) serum formulation is assessed as a stand‐alone treatment of PIHP without sunscreen.Materials and MethodsThirty‐two Mauritian subjects aged 18–50 years of phototype IV–VI presenting mild acne (GEA2) and moderate to severe PIHP (PAHPI > 10) participated in this study. Subjects applied the DC serum twice a day on the whole face for 3 months. Efficacy was assessed through PAHPI score, mean darkness of lesions (0–8 scores), and colorimetric measurements at D0, D14, D28, D56, and D84. Self‐perceived efficacy, tolerability, stigmatization, cosmeticity, and satisfaction were also gathered.ResultsA significant decrease of 15.8% (p < 0.05) in PAHPI score was reported at D84. The PAHPI score showed marked changes (p < 0.05) in pigmentation intensity at D56. Visible significant changes in mean darkness were observed from D28, with a 25.1% decrease at D84. A significant brightening effect was observed in both the spots and adjacent areas, with their mean ITA values increasingly converging toward the ITA of the non‐treated, non‐exposed zone. This effect was more pronounced in the spots, which showed a significant increase from −34.1 to −14.2 by D14. Instrumental measurements revealed a 60% reduction in spot color intensity at D84 compared to the adjacent area Delta E (p < 0.05), significant from D14. Subjects reported self‐perceived improvements in appearance and well‐being that matched clinical results, enhancing their quality of life and satisfaction. The product was reported as very well tolerated by the subjects after 84 days of usage.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the efficacy and tolerability of the serum in the treatment of post acne PIHP. Good clinical results are confirmed by the objective measurement of the ITA and Delta E. Cosmeticity was excellent and will help observance in real life. The reduction of the stigmatization score illustrates the impact of PIHP and its improvement over time. These results can be considered highly encouraging with the new serum, as in real life, its use in combination with a UVA/visible light filtration sunscreen would probably increase patients benefit.

ABSTRACTFeed cost represents about 70% of the total production costs of rabbit farms. There is little research on the usage of Berseem and Fenugreek seeds as substitutes for soybeans in rabbit diets. The current investigation was conducted to assess the influence of dietary inclusion of Fenugreek and/or Berseem seeds at varying levels as a substitute for soybean meal on reproductive performance, milk production, maternal behaviour, economic efficiency, mammary gland and ovarian histology, and relative expression of reproductive genes of New Zealand White rabbit does. Eighty fully grown New Zealand White does weighing between 2.75 and 3.00 kg live weight and aged 5–6 months old were utilized. Rabbits were allocated into four groups (20 rabbits/group): control group (basal diet), T1 (5% fenugreek), T2 (15% Berseem seeds), and T3 (2.5% Fenugreek with 7.5% Berseem seeds). We noticed that the dietary inclusion of Fenugreek and/or Berseem seeds significantly improved weight and total weight gain of litters. The increased body weight and decreased feed costs were accompanied by improved return parameters, including total return, net return economic efficiency, and relative economic efficiency, particularly in the T2 and T3 groups. Moreover, milk yield was increased in treated groups compared with those fed basal diet. The improved milk yield was associated with the enhancement of mRNA expression of the prolactin gene and improved mammary morphological characteristics, especially in the T1 group. Indeed, a rabbit does in T2 group revealed an earlier nest building, a higher nest quality, and an increased willingness to nurse. While those in T1 group presented the highest percentages of kits with full bellies. Interestingly, T2 and T3 had large mature follicles (preovulatory follicles) and few numbers of small follicles which was associated with a marked upregulation of mRNA levels of follicular stimulating hormone gene. It would be concluded that the dietary inclusion of Berseem seeds as a complete or partial replacement for soybean in New Zealand white rabbits' diet could be used to enhance the growth performance of litter and improve doe's milk production, maternal behaviour, and economic efficiency.
The role of home polygraphy sleep studies in the diagnosis of catathrenia
Authors: Shakespeare Joanna , Parkes Edward David 
Published: December 2024

SummaryCatathrenia is an uncommon sleep disorder. Having been originally classified as a parasomnia it is now considered a sleep related breathing disorder. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing catathrenia which demonstrates a classic pattern of a deep inhalation followed by a protracted exhalation, accompanied by groaning sounds. Home polygraphy sleep studies are widely used to assess for sleep disordered breathing and have previously been demonstrated to yield sufficient evidence to warrant a suspicion of catathrenia, later confirmed by PSG. We present sleep studies from five patients presenting with fragmented sleep and daytime somnolence. Two were clinically suspicious for a diagnosis of catathrenia with the remaining patients suspected as having obstructive sleep apnea. Analysis of their sleep studies identified changes in flow and effort consistent with those found on PSG in catathrenia. Analysis of concomitant sound recordings revealed groaning and moaning sounds different to any recorded snoring. Our findings demonstrate that polygraphy sleep studies demonstrating an initial positive inflection in flow, immediately followed by a fall in flow and a slow attenuation in both thoracic and abdominal effort signals are suggestive of a catathrenia diagnosis. Careful analysis of traces is required to prevent misdiagnosis of central events.

ABSTRACTInfant undernutrition, defined by length‐ and weight‐based indices, is common in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), but corresponding deficits in head size have received less attention. In a cohort of term newborns in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we compared the severity of deficits (vs. World Health Organization Growth Standards) in head circumference (HC), length and weight at birth and every 3 months until 2 years of age (n range across timepoints: 843–920). We estimated the mean and 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles of HC‐, length‐ and weight‐for‐age z‐scores (HCZ, LAZ and WAZ, respectively). Differences between HCZ and LAZ (or WAZ) were analyzed using paired t tests and quantile regression. We also derived HCZ using height‐age instead of chronological age at 3–24 months. Mean HCZ was significantly higher than mean LAZ and WAZ at birth, but HCZ was significantly lower than LAZ at 6, 9 and 12 months and the HCZ and LAZ deficits were similar from 15 to 24 months. Mean HCZ was lower than WAZ at all ages beyond birth. Patterns were broadly consistent at the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. The HCZ deficit remained evident when HC was standardized using height‐age at all ages beyond birth, indicating HC was reduced relative to body size. In conclusion, among term‐born children in Dhaka, HCs were smaller than international standards at all ages up to 2 years, and there was no evidence of postnatal head sparing. Consideration should be given to routine measurement of HC in population health surveys in LMICs.
Effect of eHealth Interventions on Symptom Management in CABG Surgical Patients: A Systematic Review
Authors: Aydin Aydanur , Celik Sevilay Senol 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of eHealth interventions on symptom management outcomes of patients undergoing CABG surgery. A systematic review was performed on CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, and Scopus from 2006 to June 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute's evaluation tools for RCT and quasi‐experimental studies were used to assess the methodological quality of the publications included in this review and to determine the extent to which each publication addressed the possibility of bias in its design. The raters' agreement was determined by using Cohen's kappa test, which yielded a kappa coefficient of 0.51. (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023398498). A systematic analysis of 11 publications involving 2.586 patients showed that the eHealth intervention effectively increased activity and self‐management. eHealth interventions, which are also effective in the management of psychological problems, had results that were partially effective in pain management and effective in quality of life. Digital healthcare has become an important component of patient care. Nurses providing care should be aware that eHealth interventions are showing promising results in patient care.

ABSTRACTChildhood nutrition is critical for development however maternal feeding attitudes may influence feeding practices and subsequent outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate mothers' attitudes toward their children's feeding process and its relationship with characteristics and children's nutritional problems. One hundred thirty‐five mother–child couples who attended the Social Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic of a hospital participated in the study. Researchers administered a survey form during face‐to‐face interviews. The form included demographic details about mother–child couples and two surveys. The first survey asked about child nutritional problems, and the second one comprised the Mother's Attitudes Towards the Feeding Process Scale (MATFPS). MATFPS provides five factors that including negative affect during meal, attitudes about insufficient/unbalanced feeding, negative feeding strategies, forced feeding, and reaction to the viewpoints of others. There was a negative correlation between mothers' “negative affect during meal” factor score and children's BMI (p < 0.05). The mean MATFPS scores of the mothers whose children had nutritional problems were statistically higher than others (p < 0.05). In conclusion, to ensure healthy nutrition for children, mothers may benefit from education to develop positive attitudes and proper feeding practices.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTWork engagement in oncology nurses is crucial for improving nurse practice and healthcare outcomes. The study aimed to define and understand work engagement from the perspective of experienced oncology clinical nurses. This qualitative descriptive study used purposive sampling to select 15 oncology nurses from a University Oncology Hospital in Türkiye. Participants had at least 3 years of experience and volunteered for the study. Data were collected through face‐to‐face interviews using a “Nurse Data Form” and a “Semi‐structured Interview Form.” The analysis identified six themes and 12 sub‐themes. These themes include a sense of engagement, personal resources, organizational resources, professional resources, elements specific to the nature of oncology, and areas that need improvement. Sub‐themes indicate that facilitators of work engagement included altruism, job satisfaction, teamwork, and nursing competencies. Nurses may require assistance in caring for patients with high psychosocial demands, long‐term care or repetitive hospitalizations. In conclusion, nurses emphasized the facilitating and challenging factors in work engagement in the oncology clinics. This study suggests that oncology nurses' work engagement can be enhanced by empowering them professionally, individually, and organizationally.

Summary
Gephyrocapsa huxleyi is a prevalent, bloom‐forming phytoplankton species in the oceans. It exhibits a complex haplodiplontic life cycle, featuring a diploid‐calcified phase, a haploid phase and a third ‘decoupled’ phase produced during viral infection. Decoupled cells display a haploid‐like phenotype, but are diploid.
Here, we investigated the fate of decoupled cells during culture observations and we compared the transcriptome profiles and the cellular ultrastructure of the three life cycle cell types.
We found that decoupled cells can revert to the calcified form in the absence of viral pressure, revealing the ability of G. huxleyi to modulate cell differentiation as a function of external conditions. Ultrastructural analyses showed distinct nuclear organization with variations in chromatin volume. Transcriptomic analyses revealed gene expression patterns specific to each life phase. These included multiple regulatory functions in chromatin remodeling, broader epigenetic mechanisms and life cycling, likely contributing to cell differentiation. Finally, analyses of available host–virus transcriptomes support life cycle transition during viral infection.
This study provides cellular and molecular foundations for nuclear remodeling and cell differentiation in coccolithophores and the identification of gene markers for studying coccolithophore life cycles in natural populations.
