Citizens' perceptions of the legitimacy of independent agencies: The effects of expertise‐based and reputation‐sourced authority
Authors: Rimkutė Dovilė , Mazepus Honorata 
Published: January 2025

AbstractLegitimacy is a central concern for independent agencies tasked with shaping policies. While expertise‐based and reputation‐sourced authority bases are assumed to be relevant for agency legitimacy, their individual and joint effects on citizens' perceptions lack comprehensive examination. To address this gap, the study integrates insights from bureaucratic politics, bureaucratic reputation, and cognitive psychology. Our survey experiment with Dutch citizens, focusing on the European Food Safety Authority, suggests that expertise‐based authority positively affects perceived agency legitimacy, while a negative reputation has detrimental effects. Furthermore, expertise‐based authority moderates the impact of reputation, amplifying positive effects and mitigating negative ones. This implies that agencies are more susceptible to reputational threats when they lack expertise‐based authority. The study advances the theoretical tenets of bureaucratic reputation theory and offers effective strategies for agencies to strengthen their legitimacy among the most critical audience in democratic political systems—citizens.
Can Adjust the Fiscal Expenditure Structure Promote Inclusive Green Growth? Empirical Evidence From China
Authors: Wu Yanghong , Song Li , Zhou Xiaoliang 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn the context of the intensification of the contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure in China, the adjustment of fiscal policy with Inclusive Green Growth as the development goal is conducive to improving the efficiency of the use of fiscal funds. Therefore, it is necessary to empirically test how the fiscal expenditure structure affects Inclusive Green Growth. Through the theoretical combing of the influence mechanism of Inclusive Green Growth and fiscal expenditure structure, the corresponding research hypotheses are put forward; Based on this, China's Regional Panel Data from 2007 to 2019 is selected as the data of the investigation period, and a two‐way fixed effect model is set; Finally, the proposed hypothesis is empirically tested and analyzed. The results show that fiscal economic constructive expenditure has a “U” shaped nonlinear impact on Inclusive Green Growth. Fiscal social security expenditure and fiscal ecological protection expenditure have a significant positive impact on Inclusive Green Growth; Grouping sample regression analysis is consistent in the overall direction of fiscal expenditure structure; Marketization index, human capital, and environmental regulation all have a positive moderating effect on the impact relationship.
Nutritional Support in the ICU

Abstract
Critical illness is a complex condition that can have a devastating impact on health and quality of life. Nutritional support is a crucial component of critical care that aims to maintain or restore nutritional status and muscle function. A one-size-fits-all approach to the components of nutritional support has not proven beneficial. Recent randomized controlled trials challenge the conventional strategy and support the safety and potential benefits of below-usual calorie and protein intakes at the early, acute phase of critical illness. Further research is needed to define optimal nutritional support throughout the intensive care unit stay. Individualized nutritional strategies relying on risk assessment tools or biomarkers deserve further investigation in rigorously designed, large, multicenter, randomized, controlled trials. Importantly, although nutritional support is crucial, it might not be sufficient to enhance the recovery of critically ill patients. Thus, achieving the greatest efficacy may require individualized nutritional support combined with early, prolonged physical rehabilitation within a multimodal, holistic care program throughout the patient's recovery journey.

AimTo explore factors at different socioecological levels that affect mental health service delivery from primary healthcare (PHC) facilities of Arghakhanchi district, a western hilly district of Nepal.BackgroundMental health service delivery has seen four transformational shifts from Alma Ata to Astana Declaration. Mental Health Gap Action Programme has facilitated the delivery of evidence-based interventions on mental, neurological and substance use disorders by non-specialised health workers in PHC settings as well as advocated scaling up of mental healthcare through integration of mental health in PHC.MethodsA cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted in Arghakhanchi district of Nepal from July to August 2019 that collected information through face-to-face key informant interviews of 16 purposively selected participants using validated interview guidelines. Thematic analysis was performed using RQDA package for EZR software. Validation of translated transcripts, member checking and inter-coder percent agreement were performed to maintain rigour in the study.ResultsLack of mental health training and no authority to prescribe psychotropic medications coupled with lack of mental health commodities acted as barriers for mental health service delivery. Awareness regarding mental health and modalities of treatment to the community and provision of training and authority to prescribe psychotropic medicines were recommended by the participants for proper mental health service delivery.ConclusionsAwareness regarding mental illness treatment modalities to the community and mental health training for healthcare service providers would help increase mental health service delivery from PHC facilities. Moreover, strengthened referral system and availability of psychotropic medicines at the PHC level would assist in mental health service delivery from PHC facilities. However, regular monitoring and supervision of the services being delivered is essential.

Published: January 2025

ObjectivesWe explored how to improve communication about low-risk lesions including labels, language and other strategies.DesignQualitative description and thematic analysis to examine the transcripts of telephone interviews with patients who had low-risk lesions and physicians; and mapping to Communication Accommodation Theory to interpret themes.SettingCanadaParticipants15 patients: 6 (40%) bladder, 5 (33%) prostate and 4 (27%) cervix lesions; and 13 physicians: 7 (54%) cervix, 3 (23%) bladder and 3 (23%) prostate lesions.Main outcome measuresPatient and physician views of labels, language and other strategies to improve communication about low-risk lesions.ResultsPatients and clinicians held discordant views about low-risk lesion label impact, preferences and rationale. All labels prompted confusion and anxiety among patients. In contrast, physicians perceived that patients understood that labels they used across all label categories (abnormal, precursor-to-cancer and cancer) implied low risk for cancer progression. Patients preferred abnormal cells, particularly when first learning of their diagnosis, and desired additional information to distinguish their diagnosis from cancer and justify treatment. In contrast, physicians favoured precursor-to-cancer and cancer labels out of habit, to match labels that patients saw elsewhere (online, charts) and to convince patients to attend follow-up and treatment visits. However, patients and physicians largely agreed on the need for 16 strategies that could improve communication about low-risk lesions including language (eg, plain language, situate low-risk lesions on cancer spectrum) and complementary communication strategies (eg, longer appointments, visual aids, connect patients with support services or groups).ConclusionsThe findings build on prior research by revealing that modifying labels is not the only or best strategy needed to improve communication about low-risk lesions. Ongoing research should examine how best to implement the strategies recommended by patients and physicians.

ObjectiveOlder adults are prone to unplanned emergency department (ED) return visits (URVs). Knowledge about patient perspectives on the preventability and reasons for these URVs is limited and lacks a representable ED study population. This study aims to determine the proportion of URVs and to explore the preventability and underlying causes as perceived by a wide range of older adults and their caregivers.DesignA multicentre mixed-methods study.SettingThe ED of one academic and one regional hospital in the Netherlands.ParticipantsPatients aged ≥70 years with a URV within 30 days after the index ED visit, consecutively sampled during a 6-week period.Outcome measurementsQuantitative data regarding patient and clinical characteristics and perceived preventability of a URV were prospectively collected and analysed using descriptive statistics. Underlying causes of a URV were collected by semistructured interviews with patients and caregivers. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse the interview transcripts.ResultsOut of 1291 patients of 70 years and older, 151 patients had a URV (11.7%). In total, 64 patients were included after informed consent (42.4%). A total of 33 patients (51.5%) found their URV preventable. Perceived causes for a URV were categorised in six themes: (1) suboptimal treatment of health complaints, (2) premature hospital discharge, (3) poor assessment and arrangement of postdischarge needs, (4) patient and caregiver behaviour, (5) lack of advance care planning and insight in treatment options and (6) deficits in general practitioner care.ConclusionsOur high rate of preventable URVs (51.5%) perceived by patients and caregivers underscores the importance to reduce URVs among older adults. Perceived causes in this study add other unexplored themes to the existing knowledge and create support for further research and interventional opportunities.

Published: January 2025

ObjectivesPatient-sharing networks based on administrative data are used to understand the organisation of healthcare. We examined the patient-sharing networks between different professionals taking care of patients with mental health or substance use problems.DesignRegister study based on the Register of Primary Health Care visits (Avohilmo) that covers all outpatient primary health care visits in Finland.SettingWe used the register data covering the visits for the service providers of seven municipalities, adult patients with at least one visit to a health and social service centre within one of the municipalities and visits during the year 2021.ParticipantsWe first selected patients with mental health or substance use problems based on psychiatric diagnoses and information on service type and then identified the professionals (N=1566) visited. A patient-sharing relationship was defined between two professionals if a same patient had visited both of them at least once.Primary outcome measuresWe analysed the potential associations of the network structure and the nodal attributes (municipality, belonging to a certain occupational group and the service type) with nodal formation using Exponential Random Graph Models.ResultsThe main findings showed that two professionals were more likely to share patient(s) when they belonged to the same occupational group, provided similar types of services or worked in the same municipality. Being a physician was associated with having more connections to other professionals than belonging to other occupational groups (OR for nurses 0.70, 95% CI 0.69 to 0.7 and for other occupations 0.83, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.84). Shared patients among different professionals were also more probable when the patients were shared with the professionals working within mental health or substance use services compared with outpatient healthcare services (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.61 to 1.67).ConclusionsPatient-sharing contacts were mainly homogenous, supporting the tendency of people to have connections with similar people. The results also highlight the role of the physicians as important partners in the patient-sharing networks.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionIt is complicated and time-consuming to care for tracheostomised patients, and many informal caregivers are said to feel a variety of burdens, although we are unsure of the specifics of this burden. This scoping review aims to identify and examine the caregiver burden encountered by informal caregivers of patients with tracheostomy.Methods and analysisThis scoping review will be carried out in accordance with Arksey and O’Malley and its extended framework, along with adherence to the guidelines provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review checklists. Searches will be conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO via EBSCO, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL via EBSCO databases, as well as grey literature sources from the inception of the databases to July 2024. Additionally, reference lists of included studies will be manually reviewed for further sources. The quality of included studies will be assessed using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool, involving at least two reviewers in all steps of the review process. Data charting will be conducted in a narrative format, encompassing the study’s objectives and questions. This review will also aim to identify any existing research gaps.Ethics and disseminationThis review protocol does not involve ethical disclosure. This scoping review will identify the burden for informal caregivers of tracheostomy-dependent people and share the results via professional organisations, conferences and scholarly publications.Trial registration numberThis protocol was preregistered with the Open Science Framework (CENTER FOR OPEN SCIENCE), with Registration DOI (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/YCWXR).

Published: January 2025

ObjectivesAs a high-intensity intermittent sport with short and repeated rapid accelerations, decelerations and changes of direction, badminton involves high joint and muscle loads. This review aims to identify relevant injury risk characteristics and factors that facilitate developing and implementing badminton-specific injury prevention programmes.DesignThis systematic review of badminton injuries assessed the risk of bias, injury incidence, mechanism, location, type, severity, and risk factors.Data sourcesPubMed, WoS, SURF, EBSCO, Ovid and SPORTDiscus.Eligibility criteriaOnly English or German peer-reviewed articles presenting epidemiological data. All age groups, genders and levels of play were represented.ResultsExamination of 19 studies with male (60%) and female players (41%) at different player levels (age: 10–50 years). The mean injury incidence was between 1 and 4 injuries/1000 hours, whereby the incidence in the studies that were only carried out with elite players tended to be at the upper end. Lower body injuries occurred most frequently (41%–92%), including strains (11%–64%), sprains (10%–61%), tendinopathy (6%–14%) and stress fractures (5%–11%). There was a high proportion of overuse injuries (25%–74%) and a predominance of mild and moderate injuries (73%–100%). The following risk factors can only be cautiously emphasised due to the heterogeneous results: The risk of injury increases with increasing level of play and a history of injury.ConclusionYoung players with a history of injury quickly moving to higher competition classes must be targeted with the highest injury prevention priority. Future studies should focus on improving the quality of studies by using comparable data collection methods.

Published: January 2025

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to analyse the association between body composition and changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients followed for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsLongitudinal data from the Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Long-term Assessments (KHOALA) cohort, a multicentre cohort of 878 patients with symptomatic knee and/or hip OA, were used. The main outcome criteria were changes in patient-reported outcomes measures, the Study Short Form-36 (physical functioning, pain, mental health and vitality) and the OsteoArthritis Knee and Hip Quality Of Life (OAKHQOL)(physical activity, pain and mental health). Body composition measurements were obtained from dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans in a subsample of 381 patients at year 3. Body composition variables were fat mass index (FMI (kg/m²)), percentage of fat mass, trunk to leg fat mass ratio (TFM/LFM) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI (kg/m²)). To account for the correlation of repeated measures in each individual, GEE models were used.Results290 patients with knee and 114 patients with hip OA were included in the analysis. In multivariate analysis, higher FMI at baseline and the presence of low lean mass were independently associated with worse physical functioning over time (β −0.02, 95% CI −0.03 to −0.01, p<0.0001 and β −0.21, 95% CI −0.02 to 0.02, p=0.02) for SF-36 dimensions. Higher TFM/LFM and SMI at baseline were associated with better mental health (β 0.09, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.15, p=0.008 and β 0.01, 95% CI 0.006 to 0.02, p<0.0001) and vitality. No association between body composition measures and pain remained in the multivariate analysis.ConclusionsHigher FMI at baseline and the presence of low muscle mass were independently associated with worse physical function over 4 years, but not with pain. Higher TFM/LFM and SMI at baseline were associated with better mental health and vitality over time.
Extrinsic and intrinsic effects setting viscosity in complex fluids and life processes: the role of fundamental physical constants
Authors: Trachenko K. , Tello P. G. , Kauffman S. A. , Succi S. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Understanding the values and origin of fundamental physical constants, one of the grandest challenges in modern science, has been discussed in particle physics, astronomy and cosmology. More recently, it was realized that fundamental constants have a biofriendly window set by life processes involving motion and flow. This window is related to intrinsic fluid properties such as energy and length scales in condensed matter set by fundamental constants. Here, we discuss important extrinsic factors governing the viscosity of complex fluids operating in life processes due to collective effects. We show that both extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting viscosity need to be taken into account when estimating the biofriendly range of fundamental constants from life processes, and our discussion provides a straightforward recipe for doing this. Remarkably, the viscosity of a complex fluid such as blood with significant extrinsic effects is not far from the intrinsic viscosity calculated using the fundamental constants only, and we discuss the reason for this in terms of dynamics of contact points between cells.

Acquitted/Convicted by a Single Vote?
Authors: Filonik Jakub 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper deals with procedural issues related to the possibility of tied votes in fourth-century Athens and with the questions of court practice, recording, and rhetorical reuse of votes by ballot. It aims to provide a comprehensive discussion of all cases of nearly split judicial panels in Athens. It examines, first, the problems related to Aeschines’ statement (3.252) about an equal distribution of votes happening in a system with an uneven number of judges and subsequently explores the role of numbers, particularly vote counts, in the rhetorical presentation of data in oratory. Based on several exemplary court cases, it argues that their reliability and objective nature is questionable and that such data should thus be used with caution.
Reforming China’s Ship-Source Oil Pollution Compensation Fund in View of Increasingly Strict Environmental Protection
Authors: Zhuo Ruixuan , Zhang Chunchang , Zhou Mengqi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article analyses the achievements and challenges of the China Ship-source Oil Pollution Compensation Fund (COPC Fund) in pursuit of an adequate, effective, and prompt compensation scheme for clean-up expenses and environmental damages against the backdrop of increasingly strict environmental protection requirements. Socioeconomic development, oil pollution catastrophes, and shipping decarbonisation necessitate broad and immediate reforms of the COPC Fund. These include increasing the compensation limits to reflect soaring oil pollution risks, improving standardised compensation rates, attaching greater importance to environmental restorations, developing streamlined claim assessment procedures for financially disadvantaged groups, and being receptive to new damages arising from the carbon neutrality campaign.
