Being and becoming a nurse: Toward an ontological and reflexive turn in first‐year nursing education
Authors: Jenkins Karen , Kinsella Elizabeth Anne , DeLuca Sandra 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIn this paper, we call for an ontological and reflexive turn in first‐year nursing education. An ontological turn focuses on formation, the ‘being’ and ‘becoming’ of a nurse, and emphasizes the value of nursing knowledge. First‐year nursing students often possess romanticized ideals about being a nurse that devalues the knowledge and expertise of nurses. We posit a thoughtful ontological orientation within nursing education that shifts the emphasis toward becoming skillful nurses, with expertise grounded in nursing perspectives. A focus on formation includes discussions regarding ideologies, dominant perspectives, and reflexive explorations of students’ views of nursing juxtaposed with the realities of nursing practice. We propose ontologic reflexivity as an approach to consider what perspectives are prioritized (or not) within the nursing classroom. Within pedagogical dialogic spaces, ontologic reflexivity calls on educators to create opportunities for students to learn the value of nursing knowledge along with other forms of knowledge. We consider ways in which an ontological and reflexive turn within the first year of nursing education may contribute to the formation of nursing students who value nursing knowledge, are open‐minded to various forms of knowledge, and possess an intentional reflexive way of being.
A practical and ethical toolkit for last‐minute refusal of anesthetic in children
Authors: Massie John , Skinner Adam , McKenzie Ian , Gillam Lynn 
Published: May 2021

AbstractChildren's fear of a procedure, including the anesthetic, is a common issue that operating theatre staff face. This fear is generally mitigated by preesthetic preparation and information sharing. Last‐minute refusal of a procedure creates unique difficulties for the anesthetist and proceduralist. Refusal for a procedure raises issues of whether the dissent is binding, and if not, how best to get the child to theatre without creating moral injury. In this case review of a young adolescent who refuses to go to the operating theatre, we explore practical and ethical options to resolve the situation. We discuss respect for persons (including assent and consent), best interests, truth‐telling, harm minimization, and restraint. The importance of a postevent debrief is discussed. We also assess the value of a clinical ethics service with team members embedded in clinical teams.
Eternalism as Therapy: Mourning the Death of Michael Besso
Authors: Sweeney Paula 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIt is often assumed that an eternalist and a presentist will have the same emotional response to life's events because, regardless of one's metaphysical beliefs, we all have the same phenomenological experience of time passing and it is this experience that is relevant to emotional response. I question the assumption that beliefs about the metaphysics of time can have little impact on one's emotional responses and establish the position that scientific and metaphysical beliefs can offer succour.

AbstractBackgroundFluoroscopic‐guided lumbar procedures have increased in daily pain practice because the lumbar spine is one of the most common sources of pain. Interventional pain fellows must develop a minimum number of skills during their training in order to achieve the competences without neglecting radiological safety. However, medical training in fluoroscopic‐guided interventions is being affected by the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) situation.MethodsThe objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a phantom model for lumbar injection as a training strategy during the COVID‐19 pandemic in fellows of interventional pain. The study was divided into theoretical and practical modules. The hands‐on practice was performed in a lumbar model phantom where fellows were evaluated in four fluoroscopically guided approaches: intra‐articular facet block (IAFB), medial branch block (MBB), transforaminal block (TFB), and interlaminar block (ILB) divided in 5 sessions. The aim was to make as many punctures as possible in every session. We measured total procedural performance (TPP), total needle hand time (TNH), and total radiation dose generated by the fluoroscopic machine (TRD) during each procedure. Additionally, a survey was applied to evaluate confidence and satisfaction before and after training.ResultsA total of 320 lumbar punctures were completed. The results were statistically significant in all approaches attempted (p < 0.01). The fellow’s survey for satisfaction and confidence demonstrated a significant difference between pre and post‐test (p < 0.01).ConclusionsThe results of this study highlight the importance of adaptations and adoption of new educational models. The use of the phantom model for simulation could be a strategy for other emerging situations, like the COVID‐19 pandemic. Including this practice in the interventional pain programs could lead to better results for the patient and operator radiology safety.
Halcyon days: the heyday of the Photogrammetric Society?
Authors: Wickens E. H. , Dallas R. W. A. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe Photogrammetric Society existed as an independent learned society for some 50 years, from the 1950s to 2001. This period coincided with the growth of photogrammetry in the UK to become a well‐recognised and widely adopted methodology. A detailed history of the Society during that period was published by Atkinson and Newton in 2002. This paper attempts to give a more personalised view of the role and achievements of the Society through the eyes of a number of Society members. It focuses on the period from the 1970s to the 1990s – the heyday of the Society?

AbstractThe sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is characterized by the production of tuberous roots rich in starch and is one of the most produced and consumed vegetables in Brazil. Botryosphaeriaceae, among other fungi, are known to cause root and stem rot of sweet potato. However, no representative and accurate study has been performed for the correct identification of these fungal species in sweet potato in Brazil. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with root and stem rot of sweet potato and confirm their pathogenicity. Tuberous roots and stems of sweet potato with rot symptoms were collected in production fields and markets and used for fungal isolations. The identification of fungi was based on the morphology of reproductive structures and phylogenetic analyses of the gene regions ITS, tef1‐α, and rpb2. The following species were identified: Lasiodiplodia theobromae, L. hormozganensis, Macrophomina phaseolina, M. euphorbiicola, M. pseudophaseolina, and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. For the pathogenicity test, one representative isolate for each species was inoculated in healthy tuberous roots and in 30‐day‐old healthy seedlings. Black and necrotic lesions on tuberous roots and stems were observed in all replications and resulted in the death of some seedlings. This is the first report of L. hormozganensis, M. pseudophaseolina, and M. euphorbiicola, as causal agents of the stem and root rot of sweet potato and N. dimidiatum as a causal agent of stem rot worldwide.

AbstractAcclimation of plants to water deficit involves biochemical and physiological adjustments. Here, we studied how ultraviolet (UV)‐B exposure and exogenously applied hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) potentiates drought tolerance in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. xanthi nc). Separate and combined applications for 14 days of 1.75 kJ m−2 day−1 UV‐B radiation and 0.2 mM H2O2 were assessed. Both factors, individually and combined, resulted in inhibition of growth. Furthermore, the combined treatment led to the most compacted plants. UV‐B‐ and UV‐B + H2O2‐treated plants increased total antioxidant capacity and foliar epidermal flavonol index. H2O2‐ and UV‐B + H2O2‐pre‐treated plants showed cross‐tolerance to a subsequent 7‐day moderate drought treatment, which was assessed as the absence of negative impact on growth, leaf wilting, and leaf relative water content. Plant responses to the pre‐treatment were notably different: (1) H2O2 increased the activity of catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (EC 4.3.1.5), and peroxidase activities (EC 1.11.1.7), and (2) the combined treatment induced epidermal flavonols which were key to drought tolerance. We report synergistic effects of UV‐B and H2O2 on transcription accumulation of UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8, NAC DOMAIN PROTEIN 13 (NAC13), and BRI1‐EMS‐SUPPRESSOR 1 (BES1). Our data demonstrate a pre‐treatment‐dependent response to drought for NAC13, BES1, and CHALCONE SYNTHASE transcript accumulation. This study highlights the potential of combining UV‐B and H2O2 to improve drought tolerance which could become a useful tool to reduce water use.
Testing by Betting: A Strategy for Statistical and Scientific Communication
Authors: Shafer Glenn 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe most widely used concept of statistical inference—the p-value—is too complicated for effective communication to a wide audience. This paper introduces a simpler way of reporting statistical evidence: report the outcome of a bet against the null hypothesis. This leads to a new role for likelihood, to alternatives to power and confidence, and to a framework for meta-analysis that accommodates both planned and opportunistic testing of statistical hypotheses and probabilistic forecasts. This framework builds on the foundation for mathematical probability developed in previous work by Vladimir Vovk and myself.
Causal mechanisms in the analysis of transnational social policy dynamics: Evidence from the global south
Authors: Kuhlmann Johanna , ten Brink Tobias 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe aim of this Regional Issue is to generate new findings on social policy dynamics in the Global South and on the transnational factors that shape them. It suggests that the concept of causal mechanisms is particularly well suited for analyzing these dynamics. This introduction presents the concept of causal mechanisms, as well as different approaches to analyzing mechanisms in transnational social policy dynamics. It then summarizes the key findings of the individual articles, which utilize a plurality of mechanism‐based approaches to enable a fine‐grained analysis and explanation through in‐depth case studies, covering the fields of pensions, health, vocational education, long‐term care, immigrant welfare rights, and food subsidies. Finally, the introduction reflects on the implications of the findings for the study of transnational social policy dynamics, and how the study of causal mechanisms can enrich our understanding of these processes.
Informality during migration, “conversion” within and across national spaces: Eliciting moral ambivalence among informal brokers
Authors: Ho Elaine Lynn‐Ee , Ting Wen‐Ching 
Published: May 2021

AbstractConditions of precarity, irregularity, and illegality are often associated with informality. Yet the functional and analytical value of informality as a condition and process underpinning the migration industry and infrastructure has yet to be fully investigated. This paper considers first, how is informality constructed within national space and across national spaces (i.e., transnationally) during migration? Second, in the context of migration, what does informality reveal of the binaries associated with legality/illegality and morality/immorality? Third, what does inhabiting informality as a “negotiated space” achieve for the various stakeholders who are involved in mediating migration? We address these questions through a study of how foreign domestic workers (FDWs) migrate from Myanmar to work in Singapore. Although FDWs can secure legal documents from Singapore (the receiving country), the government of Myanmar (the sending country) considered migration for domestic work illegal until it lifted a ban on such migration in April 2019. Even so, the government will to formalise and enforce legal migration in Myanmar has been lagging, alongside a lack of traction for multi‐stakeholder collaboration in this direction. Through discussing informality during the recruitment, training, and deployment stages, we draw attention to how informal brokers experience “moral ambivalence,” a condition that can be seen as a resource that illuminates new political and social subjectivities, as well as a means for the brokers to manage risks and uncertainties during migration.
Foundation stone of empire: The role of Portland stone in ‘heritage’, commemoration, and identity
Authors: Butler‐Warke Alice , Warke Matthew R. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIn 2013, Portland Stone, a creamy white limestone from the Isle of Portland in Dorset, was named the world’s first “Global Heritage Stone Resource” (GSHR) by the Heritage Stone Task Group, a sub‐commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences. The criteria for GSHR designation are ambiguous, with the Task Group championing Portland Stone’s “cultural value” and “heritage,” neither of which are critically interrogated. In this paper we undertake a detailed critical discourse analysis of Hansard entries mentioning Portland Stone between 1803 and 2020. We reveal that the use of Portland Stone is intertwined with colonial oppression, class subjugation, empire politics, structural racism, and a mythologised, England‐centric vision of British national identity. In celebrating the use of Portland Stone as part of Britain’s “heritage”, we are condoning a narrative of Britishness that is exclusionary and whitewashed, and that supports an elite rewriting of national and international history. Drawing on critical heritage literature, we argue that the Heritage Stone Task Group must urgently reconsider their uncritical appraisal of “heritage” and “culture” and consult with social science colleagues to ensure that all voices are heard. Our study shows that through the history and nature of their usage, the rocks beneath our feet, our natural foundation, can become imbued with notions of regional and national identity, belonging and exclusion, memory and loss – they can become a powerful manifestation of symbolic and unequal power structures. While British society’s attention is turned to the imprint of colonialism, empire, and race on our geographies, we urge further consideration of the built environment: the very stones that construct our towns and cities, the plinths on which statues are erected, tell stories of oppression and domination that are an important part of British history, culture, and heritage.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe a case of Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome of adrenocortical failure in a cat with Klebsiella spp. infection.Case SummaryA 12‐year‐old male neutered domestic short‐haired cat was referred for respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. The cat remained comatose despite successful weaning from the ventilator and developed a Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia. On day 4 of hospitalization, the cat acutely deteriorated with profound hypotension, azotemia, and hyperkalemia, which rapidly progressed to cardiac arrest. Necropsy findings revealed massive adrenal hemorrhage and intralesional bacteria, termed Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome. Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome was suspected to have been the cause of acquired adrenocortical insufficiency and sudden death of the cat.New or Unique InformationTo the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of sepsis causing Waterhouse–Friderichsen syndrome in a veterinary species.
Trauma responsive care model: An Aotearoa New Zealand research informed practice model for residential group homes
Authors: Greer Andrea 
Published: May 2021

INTRODUCTION: This article presents a research-informed model of trauma responsive care for use in residential care practice social work settings with children and young people in Aotearoa New Zealand. The model was developed from a qualitative project which sought to address the research question “Does the quality of relationships with staff members have a positive impact on outcomes for children who reside in group home settings?”METHODS: Using semi-structured, in-depth interviews, eight children were interviewed regarding their experience of relationships while living within supervised group homes (SGHs). In order to gain multiple perspectives on this topic, six biological parents and two legal guardians of children were interviewed and focus group discussions were held with staff members from three SGHs. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes identified from the findings.FINDINGS: Five dominant themes were identified from the children’s and parent’s interviews. The central theme was the importance of relationships; that relationship is the key when working with children who have experienced trauma. Children who have experienced trauma need to feel safe in the context of relationships and benefit from bottom-up interventions in order to heal from their traumatic experiences.CONCLUSION: A research-informed model of trauma responsive care was constructed from study findings informed by two principal bodies of knowledge: (1) attachment theory; and (2) neuroscience. The resultant trauma responsive care model provides a framework of strategies for anyone working with children in residential care settings who have experienced trauma and/ or attachment difficulties.
Work–Life Balance in Athletic Training: A Perspective of the Athletic Trainer’s Spouse
Authors: Singe Stephanie Mazerolle , Mensch James 
Published: May 2021

Informal support systems, such as spouses, friends, and family members, have been identified as possible facilitators to achieving a work–life balance (WLB) for athletic trainers. Little, however, is known about the spouse and their experiences facilitating a WLB. A total of 17 spouses (11 females and six males) of full-time athletic trainers completed our study. The participants journaled their responses to 14 open-ended questions that pertained to WLB. A general inductive approach revealed three major themes: (a) living in time blocks, (b) frequent work schedule changes, and (c) the duty of multiple roles within the family construct. Three more themes emerged as strategies that spouses utilize: (a) intentional planning, (b) adaptation, and (c) workplace integration. Although spouses face many challenges in their own lives, they acknowledge their support toward their spouse’s WLB. Spouses reported overall satisfaction with their current WLB but identified many ways it could be improved.
Sprinters Report Poorer Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome Outcomes Compared With Endurance Runners Over the Course of a Competitive Track Season
Authors: Balsamo Leah M. , Clark Kenneth P. , Morrison Katherine E. , Cattano Nicole M. 
Published: May 2021

Context: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is an overuse injury studied in endurance (ED) runners with minimal data on sprint (SP) athletes. Incorporating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into clinical practice with running athletes may provide an objective way to track and treat MTSS. Purpose: To investigate PROMs as a means to monitor MTSS and general wellness in all running (i.e., ED and SP) track athletes during a competitive season. Results: The PROMs overall showed few MTSS symptoms and good global health (mean MTSS score: 0.35 ± 0.85, mean Global Health score: 33.6 ± 3.5). Sprinters reported significantly poorer MTSS scores and Global Health scores (0.544, 95% confidence interval, CI, [0.370, 1.050], p = .04]; 32.50, 95% CI [30.84, 34.16], p = .028) than ED runners (0.04, 95% CI [0.000, 0.041]; 35.5, 95% CI [33.29, 37.65]). There was a main deteriorating effect over time for the MTSS score (p = .047). Conclusions: Sprinters reported more symptoms than ED runners and need to be further researched as an independent population. The PROMs may be useful in tracking symptoms and modifying practices for individual track athletes.
Assessing and Maximizing Collegiate Athletes’ Psychological Skills Under Constraints: A Preseason Brief Intervention Approach
Authors: Chu Tsz Lun (Alan) , Petrie Trent A. 
Published: May 2021

Time and access to teams may be limited for sport psychology professionals, particularly those working in the college sport setting. Thus, learning how to intervene with teams and individual athletes within short, defined timeframes becomes essential for working effectively in this environment. In this article, using de Shazer’s solution-focused brief therapy along with Weinberg and Williams’s steps of psychological skills training, the authors describe the development and implementation of a brief intervention under time-limited circumstances (15 days, 15 min/day) through a preseason training program with a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women’s volleyball team. Then, they present data and evaluations based on the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 and athlete feedback, which support program effectiveness. They further reflect on the program strengths (e.g., individualization) and challenges (e.g., limited coach involvement) to provide recommendations for intervening briefly, yet systematically and effectively, to maximize athletes’ psychological skills under constraints.
