Published: November 2021

AbstractDespite the upsurge in hydrocarbon exploration in the Lake Albert Rift Basin (LARB) over the past three decades, systematic characterization of hydrocarbon compositions remains lacking, leading to uncertainties in source rock and oil generation determination. We characterized crude oil compositions and oil sand samples in the northern and southern subbasins of LARB. The relative abundance of normal and branched linear alkanes, hopanes, steranes, and aromatic hydrocarbon suggest that northern and southern hydrocarbons were deposited in anoxic to suboxic lacustrine environments and share similar biological source compositions (i.e., a mixture of plants and aquatic algae and bacteria). Relative to southern samples, northern samples show more negativeδ13C values for oils, saturates and aromatics, indicating longer migration paths, and exhibit higher MPI‐1, DNR‐1 and 4‐/1‐MDBT ratios, indicating higher maturity. Between the two possible sets of source rocks (upper Miocene and Jurassic strata), the positiveδ13C values of saturated hydrocarbons (average = –20.5‰) suggest that the upper Miocene lacustrine shale is the most likely candidate. Oleanane index (<5% in our samples) does not exclude either source rock possibility, and C28/C29regular sterane (average = 0.63) may be biased by high terrestrial inputs in a lacustrine setting. Together, our data show that northern and southern oils originate from the same source rocks but different oil kitchens. Given the similar geochemical characteristics of southern and northern oils, previous exploration successes in the northern subbasin likely suggest similar potential in the southern sector, while other elements influencing exploration success must be also evaluated.
The FinTech Dividend: How Much Money Is FinTech Likely to Mobilize for Sustainable Development?
Authors: Michael Bryane , Latkovska Tamara 
Published: November 2021

AbstractFinTech offers a new way to mobilize resources for all kinds of uses – including for funding sustainable development. Roughly 3%–13% of funding required for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)– or around $50 billion to $125 billion ‐‐ could come from a ‘FinTech Dividend.’ Such a dividend derives from the use of FinTech platforms to increase savings and investment (overall), channel resources into publicly‐funded as well as privately‐funded SDG‐related activities and policies, and encourage the use of internet platforms, which deliver novel goods and services that relate to the seventeen SDGs. Less than half of UN members have FinTech laws and policies – making FinTech a ripe area for right‐regulating. Unfortunately, in areas like institutional reform – no amount of money can guarantee achieving the SDGs, without wider legal and administrative reforms. And no clear data about the exact policies needed to help grow an economy (or pay for SDG spending) serve as any guide. With total investment in FinTech stuck at around $150 billion to $200 billion – the hoped for deluge of FinTech dollars on SDG activities may remain a trickle for years to come.

AbstractHow Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐positive diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) occasionally occurs following chronic inflammation remains to be elucidated. The case of a 57‐year‐old man who developed pulmonary EBV‐positive DLBCL from underlying silicosis lesions is presented. Immunohistochemical examination of the resected silicosis lesions showed predominant helper T cells and M1/M2 macrophages, with a lack of B cells, regulatory T cells, and resident memory T cells. Two years later, EBV‐positive DLBCL emerged unexpectedly from the silicosis. The imbalance of the immune cells in the microenvironment, at least in part, may help explain how chronic inflammation contributes to EBV‐positive DLBCL.
Current status of total neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer

Published: November 2021

AbstractNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) plus total mesorectal excision (TME) has been the standard regimen for treatment of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), because it significantly reduces the rate of local recurrence and enables sphincter preservation. However, distant metastasis remains the major reason for treatment failure, and the value of postoperative chemotherapy is still controversial. Recent studies have examined the use of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), defined as induction and/or consolidation chemotherapy (CONCT) with radiotherapy (RT) or nCRT prior to surgery. The results indicated that TNT may increase the rates of chemotherapy compliance and pathological complete response (pCR), and probably improve the success rate of sphincter preservation surgery. TNT may also improve disease‐free survival and overall survival, and even reduce the rate of relapse. Here, we critically appraise the existing literature on three different TNT schemes used for LARC patients.
Carl Schmitt Reads Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: Archival Perspectives on Convergences and Divergences
Authors: Graf Sinja 
Published: November 2021

AbstractScholarly interpretations have analyzed theoretical tensions and overlaps between Carl Schmitt and Hannah Arendt and Arendt's reception of Schmitt. Schmitt's engagement with Arendt, however, is left understudied. Based on new evidence from the Carl Schmitt archive, this essay provides a first‐time analysis of Schmitt's reading of Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem. The article argues that Schmitt's recognition of convergences and divergences between his and Arendt's political thought illuminates two important questions concerning the relationship between law and politics: the capacity of law to capture political violence, and the character of community as a source of law and jurisdiction. The analysis specifically foregrounds Schmitt's attention to Arendt's theorization of territory and humanity, two concepts key to his own political philosophy that Arendt deployed radically differently. Overall, the article demonstrates that Schmitt's reading of Eichmann invests the book with a unique theoretical topography that remains inaccessible to studies of their published works alone.
Discrimination as a Moderator of the Effects of Acculturation and Cultural Values on Mental Health Among Pregnant and Postpartum Latina Women
Authors: Fox Molly 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTIt is important to consider how identity, culture, and social adversity influence maternal mental health among Latina women both because this community faces unique cultural stressors and also because factors that undermine women's mental health during pregnancy and postpartum could have injurious consequences that cascade across generations. This study uses data from a questionnaire administered to Latina pregnant and postpartum women in Southern California, examining cultural orientation, discrimination, and mental health. Results demonstrate mental health benefits for both American and Latino cultural orientations, but the latter's benefit of lower anxiety was only apparent with high discrimination. American and Latino cultural values systems had opposite relationships with depression, with the latter protective and also positively associated with happiness. More traditional gender roles values were associated with greater perceived stress and lower happiness. Different aspects of familism had opposite effects as obligation was associated with less anxiety and referent (defining oneself communally with kin) with more. Results suggest that social adversity and cultural identity and values influence maternal psychology. This study makes a unique contribution by integrating anthropological and biopsychosocial methods and theories towards addressing an issue of public‐health importance.

Impact of establishing a specialized hepatobiliary unit on liver resections in a non‐specialized tertiary centre in regional Australia
Authors: Yeh John , Palamuthusingam Pranavan , Cameron Donald , Avramovic John 
Published: November 2021

AbstractBackgroundIn April 2018, a dedicated hepatobiliary unit was established in a tertiary hospital in North Queensland. Changes included the employment of a hepatobiliary‐trained surgeon, centralized referrals, and formalized multidisciplinary team meetings. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of establishing a hepatobiliary unit on outcomes after liver resection, in a regional centre where such procedures were previously performed by non‐specialist general surgeons.MethodsAdult patients who underwent elective liver resection in Townsville from 2013 to 2020 were included in the study. Outcomes after liver resection were collected across two study periods – before and after the hepatobiliary unit was established. The primary end points were a before and after comparison of the 90‐day morbidity and mortality and the R1 margin rates.ResultsAcross the two study periods, 76 and 77 patients, respectively, underwent liver resection. Rates of R1 resection, 90‐day mortality and major complications were not significantly different between the two study periods. Primary tumours (14.5% before versus 50.6% after) and cirrhosis (1.3% before versus 14.3% after) were significantly higher in the latter period, as was the median length of stay (4 days before versus 6 days after). Annual surgical volume increased by 75% in the period after 2018 compared to the 5 years preceding it.ConclusionEstablishing a centralized hepatobiliary unit in a tertiary regional centre resulted in increased surgical volume and case complexity, with no change in early outcomes after liver resection. Overall, this dedicated unit improved the accessibility of a subspecialty surgical service in regional Australia.

AbstractBackgroundLumbar spinal fusion (LSF) outcomes for workers' compensation patients are worse than for the general population. The objectives were to examine the long‐term work capacity, opioid prescription and mental health outcomes of injured workers who have undergone LSF surgery in Victoria, Australia, and to identify demographic and pre‐ and post‐operative characteristics associated with these outcomes.MethodsRetrospective study of 874 injured workers receiving elective LSF from 2008 to 2016 in the Victorian workers' compensation system. WorkSafe Victoria's claims data were used to infer outcomes for recovery. Association of demographics, pre‐surgery and surgery variables with outcomes were modelled using multivariate multinomial logistic regression analyses.ResultsTwenty‐four months after LSF surgery, 282 (32.3%) of the 874 injured workers had substantial work capacity, 388 (44.4%) were prescribed opioids, and 330 (37.8%) were receiving mental health treatment.Opioid prescription and limited work capacity before surgery were independent strong predictors of opioid prescription, reduced work capacity and mental health treatment 24 months after LSF. Pre‐operative mental health treatment was associated with the use of mental health treatment at 24 months. Other predictors for poor outcomes included a greater than 12‐month duration from injury to surgery, LSF re‐operation and common law or impairment benefit lodgement before surgery.ConclusionAn association between pre‐operative factors and post‐operative outcomes after LSF in a Victorian workers' compensation population was identified, suggesting that pre‐operative status may influence outcomes and should be considered in LSF decisions. The high opioid use indicates that opioid management before and after surgery needs urgent review.

Published: November 2021

AbstractEmergent infectious disease caused by the fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) represents one of the major causes of biodiversity loss in amphibians. While Bd has affected amphibians worldwide, Bsal remains restricted to Asia and Europe, but also could be a major threat for salamanders in the Western hemisphere, including the 320 bolitoglossine species described. Here, we predict the suitable areas for Bsal in the Neotropics and assess its potential impact on bolitoglossine diversity. For this, we determined the geographic patterns of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity for bolitoglossines and modeled the potential distribution of Bsal in the Neotropics. We identified which species and regions could be at risk from an eventual introduction of Bsal in the region, quantified the degree of overlap between regions of high diversity and the suitable conditions for the pathogen, and considered species IUCN Red List status, and geographic range size. We found that regions of high taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity are concentrated in the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt, Sierra Madre Oriental, the southern portion of Sierra Madre del Sur and the mountains of Oaxaca in México, as well as the Chiapan‐Guatemalan highlands, and the Cordilleras of Costa Rica and Panama. Alarmingly, the regions of high diversity for bolitoglossines and over 75% of the ranges of the more threatened species could be affected by Bsal. Given the unknown vulnerability of these species, we strongly recommend measures to avoid the introduction of Bsal in the continent.Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
Understanding the self in relation to others: Infants spontaneously map another's face to their own at 16–26 months
Authors: Kampis Dora , Grosse Wiesmann Charlotte , Koop Sarah , Southgate Victoria 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe current study probed whether infants understand themselves in relation to others. Infants aged 16–26 months (n = 102) saw their parent wearing a sticker on their forehead or cheek, depending on experimental condition, placed unwitnessed by the child. Infants then received a sticker themselves, and their spontaneous behavior was coded. Regardless of age, from 16 months, all infants who placed the sticker on their cheek or forehead, placed it on the location on their own face matching their parent's placement. This shows that infants as young as 16 months of age have an internal map of their face in relation to others that they can use to guide their behavior. Whether infants placed the sticker on the matching location was related to other measures associated with self‐concept development (the use of their own name and mirror self‐recognition), indicating that it may reflect a social aspect of children's developing self‐concept, namely their understanding of themselves in relation and comparison to others. About half of the infants placed the sticker on themselves, while others put it elsewhere in the surrounding, indicating an additional motivational component to bring about on themselves the state, which they observed on their parent. Together, infants’ placement of the sticker in our task suggests an ability to compare, and motivation to align, self and others.

Published: November 2021

AbstractBehavioural responses of fishes to littoral zone habitat enhancements are relatively understudied in diverse fish communities but are critical for understanding overall fish community responses. To advance knowledge on effects of coarse woody habitat (CWH) littoral zone enhancements, we initiated a long‐term study on Sanford Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin, where 160 trees were added to the littoral zone of the lake in 2018. We tested for short‐term home range responses in muskellunge (Esox masquinongy), smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) and walleye (Sander vitreus) to this CWH addition. We used radio telemetry data collected premanipulation (2017) and postmanipulation (2018 and 2019) to construct annual home range estimates for each species. Limited kernel density (LKD) estimates, which partially exclude terrestrial areas, were used for estimating 50% and 95% home ranges. Over the course of the three years, average home ranges for each study species increased suggesting a behavioural response to the CWH addition. Muskellunge had the greatest home range estimate increase, followed by smallmouth bass and then walleye. Muskellunge and smallmouth bass had similar home ranges, which were larger than walleye home ranges. Increased home ranges across species could be a searching or deviation from premanipulation equilibrium home range response as a result of the CWH serving as a prey fish refuge, which may make them relatively inaccessible to predators. Our results suggest that fish behavioural responses to CWH additions may be species‐specific and should be taken into consideration prior to implementing littoral habitat enhancements in diverse fish communities.
Large‐scale Victorian manufacturers: Reconstructing the lost 1881 UK employer census
Authors: Hannah Leslie , Bennett Robert 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis study presents the first available—and near‐complete—list of large UK manufacturers in 1881, by complementing the employer data from that year's population census (recovered by the British Business Census of Entrepreneurs project) with employment and capital estimates from other sources. The 438 largest firms with 1 000 or more employees accounted for around one‐sixth of manufacturing output. Examples can be found in most industries. Exploiting powered machinery, intangible assets, new technologies, and venture capital and generally operating in competitive markets, their exports approximately equalled domestic sales. The more capital‐intensive firms accessed stock markets, more—and in larger firms—than in follower economies. Some alleged later causes of UK decline relative to the US or Germany cannot be observed in 1881. Indeed, contemporary overseas observers—capitalist and socialist—correctly recognized the distinctive features of UK manufacturing as its exceptional development of quoted corporations, professional managers, and ‘modern’, scalable, factory production.

Published: November 2021

AbstractAimCognitive deficits are recognized features of depressive disorders in youth aged 12–25. These deficits are distressing, predict functional impairment and limit the effectiveness of psychological therapies. Cognitive enhancement using behavioural, biochemical or physical treatments may be useful in young people with depression, but studies have not been synthesized. The aim was to systematically review the evidence for treatments for objective and subjective cognitive functioning, and their acceptability and functional outcomes in people aged 12–25 with depression.MethodThree electronic databases were searched for articles using pre‐specified criteria. Pharmacological treatments were not eligible. Risk of bias was rated using the Cochrane Collaboration's revised risk‐of‐bias tool. Dual full‐text article screening, data extraction and quality ratings were completed.ResultsTwelve studies were included for review (median participant age: 20.39 years), five of which were randomized‐controlled trials (RCTs). Sample sizes were generally small (median = 23; range: 9–46). Eight studies investigated behavioural treatments including aerobic exercise, cognitive training and education or strategy‐based methods. Four studies examined repetitive transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS). Most behavioural treatments revealed preliminary evidence of improved cognitive function in youth depression. Consent rates were greatest for exercise‐ and education‐based approaches, which may indicate higher acceptability levels. Findings from rTMS trials were mixed, with only half showing cognitive improvement. Functional outcomes were reported by three behavioural treatment trials and one rTMS trial, with functional improvement reported only in the former. Some concern of risk of bias was found in each RCT.ConclusionBehavioural treatments, such as exercise, cognitive training and education/strategy‐focused techniques, show encouraging results and appear to be acceptable methods of addressing cognitive deficits in youth depression based on participation rates. Brain stimulation and biochemical treatments (e.g., nutrient‐based treatment) require further investigation.
Mindfulness is associated with reduced barriers to exercise via decreasing psychological distress in help‐seeking young adults: A cross‐sectional brief report

Published: November 2021

AbstractAimMental illness is common among young people. Exercise has benefits for mental health; however, young people experience a range of barriers to engaging in physical activity, one of which is psychological distress. Mindfulness is a modifiable factor that can reduce distress and may, in turn, reduce perceived barriers to physical activity. The aim of this work was to explore associations between dispositional mindfulness, psychological distress and barriers to engaging in physical activity.MethodsWe used cross‐sectional survey data from young adults aged 15–25 years who attended youth mental health services (headspace centres). Demographic, mindfulness, exercise barriers and wellbeing data were collected.ResultsMediation analysis showed that greater dispositional mindfulness reduced perceived barriers to exercise via reductions in psychological distress among 88 help‐seeking young Australians.ConclusionInterventions to increase dispositional mindfulness may be helpful in reducing psychological distress and lessening barriers to exercise engagement, therefore promoting mental health among young people experiencing mental health symptoms.
