AbstractRising temperatures may endanger fragile ecosystems because their character and key species show different habitat affinities under different climates. This assumption has only been tested in limited geographical scales. In fens, one of the most endangered ecosystems in Europe, broader pH niches have been reported from cold areas and are expected for colder past periods. We used the largest European‐scale vegetation database from fens to test the hypothesis that pH interacts with macroclimate temperature in forming realized niches of fen moss and vascular plant species. We calibrated the data set (29,885 plots after heterogeneity‐constrained resampling) with temperature, using two macroclimate variables, and with the adjusted pH, a variable combining pH and calcium richness. We modelled temperature, pH and water level niches for one hundred species best characterizing European fens using generalized additive models and tested the interaction between pH and temperature. Fifty‐five fen species showed a statistically significant interaction between pH and temperature (adj p ˂ .01). Forty‐six of them (84%) showed a positive interaction manifested by a shift or restriction of their niche to higher pH in warmer locations. Nine vascular plants and no moss showed the opposite interaction. Mosses showed significantly greater interaction. We conclude that climate significantly modulates edaphic niches of fen plants, especially bryophytes. This result explains previously reported regional changes in realized pH niches, a current habitat‐dependent decline of endangered taxa, and distribution changes in the past. A warmer climate makes growing seasons longer and warmer, increases productivity, and may lower the water level. These effects prolong the duration and intensity of interspecific competition, support highly competitive Sphagnum mosses, and, as such, force niches of specialized fen species towards narrower high‐pH ranges. Recent anthropogenic landscape changes pose a severe threat to many fen species and call for mitigation measures to lower competition pressure in their refugia.
Critical geographies of transport and mobility: Studying power relations through practice, academia, and activism

Published: November 2021

AbstractOver the last decade, there has been increasing interest among geographers in a critical perspective on studies of transportation and mobility, or studies that take into account the power relations within systems of transportation that produce space, place, mobility, and/or identity. This ever‐growing body of work includes people who might not consider themselves as transportation geographers per se, but nevertheless are expanding geographies of transportation beyond the traditional focus on vehicles, infrastructure, and economics. In this article, we review such work from three different perspectives: critical studies of professional practice, the interdisciplinary approach of Caribbean Studies, and the work of activists and scholar‐activists to connect environmental justice with mobility justice.
Pragmatism as a paradigm for patient‐oriented research
Authors: Allemang Brooke , Sitter Kathleen , Dimitropoulos Gina 
Published: November 2021

AbstractBackgroundMixed methods research studies continue to pervade the field of health care, where pragmatism as a research paradigm and patient‐oriented research (POR) as an engagement strategy are combined to strengthen the process and outcomes of the research. Pragmatists use the most appropriate research methods to address issues at hand, where complex social problems need multipronged approaches. As an emerging healthcare research strategy, POR actively engages individuals with lived experience across all stages of the research process. While POR continues to garner attention within mixed‐methods research designs, there is a paucity of literature that considers POR in relation to pragmatism.ObjectiveAs POR grows in popularity within the field of health care, there is a need to explore the theoretical and epistemological alignment with pragmatism and the implications to research.MethodsTo address this need, we provide a critical review of the literature to examine the synergies between POR and pragmatism, and argue for the adoption of pragmatism as a paradigm for conducting POR.Main ResultsThis article begins with a discussion of the philosophical underpinnings informing the pragmatic paradigm. It then identifies key alignments between POR and pragmatism across three intersecting concepts: democratic values, collaborative approaches to problem‐solving and the pursuit of social justice.Discussion and ConclusionsReflecting on our experiences engaging with patient partners in a mixed‐methods POR study titled READY2Exit, we illustrate the relevance of pragmatism to POR by applying these concepts to practice. Implications and considerations for conducting POR within the pragmatic paradigm are also described.Patient or Public ContributionThis paper provides a critical review of the literature and did not directly involve patients or the public. The authors reflected on their experiences collaborating with five young adult patient partners in the READY2Exit study (case exemplar described in this article) to demonstrate the relevance of the pragmatic paradigm to POR. We acknowledge and thank the young adult patient partners for their contributions to the research, for encouraging us to think critically about patient engagement in research, and for sharing their experiences.
Patterns of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae infection of three salmonid species in large, deep Norwegian lakes

Published: November 2021

AbstractProliferative kidney disease (PKD), caused by the myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, is of serious ecological and economical concern to wild and farmed salmonids. Wild salmonid populations have declined due to PKD, primarily in rivers, in Europe and North America. Deep lakes are also important habitats for salmonids, and this work aimed to investigate parasite presence in five deep Norwegian lakes. Kidney samples from three salmonid species from deep lakes were collected and tested using real‐time PCR to detect PKD parasite presence. We present the first detection of T. bryosalmonae in European whitefish in Norway for the first time, as well as the first published documentation of the parasite in kidneys of Arctic charr, brown trout and whitefish in four lakes. The observed prevalence of the parasite was higher in populations of brown trout than of Arctic charr and whitefish. The parasite was detected in farmed, but not in wild, charr in one lake. This suggests a possible link with a depth of fish habitat and fewer T. bryosalmonae‐infected and PKD‐affected fish. Towards a warmer climate, cold hypolimnion in deep lakes may act as a refuge for wild salmonids, while cold deep water may be used to control PKD in farmed salmonids.
Integrated flood management based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point approach
Authors: Škerjanec Mateja , Steinman Franci , Rak Gašper 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis study proposes to adopt the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach and its seven principles to assist integrated flood management and transboundary cooperation in river basins, extending over more municipalities, regions, or states. Although HACCP was initially employed in the food production and processing industry to identify hazards and reduce risks throughout the production process, its principles have already been successfully applied to other sectors, such as water supply and wastewater treatment. The paper focuses (a) on the adaptation of the HACCP approach for integrated flood management, for example, for assessing the impact of planned upstream measures on downstream areas, and (b) on step 3 of the proposed Flood‐HACCP approach establishing critical limits for CCPs. For the demonstration purposes, the confluence of the Slovenian part of Drava River and its tributaries, Meža and Mislinja, is selected. Results indicate that keeping the Meža River discharge within the range of ±5% from its initial value would cause only minor local changes of flood situation within the selected case study area. On the other hand, variations to the Mislinja River discharge could change the flood situation to a greater extent and in a more diffuse way.
Couple and family interventions for depressive and bipolar disorders: Evidence base update (2010–2019)

Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article systematically reviews the evidence base for couple and family interventions for depressive and bipolar disorders published from 2010 to 2019. Included in the review were intervention studies on depression for couples (n = 6), depression for families (n = 13), and bipolar for families (n = 5); zero studies on couple interventions for bipolar were located. Well‐established interventions include cognitive and/or behavioral couple and family interventions for depression and psychoeducational family interventions for bipolar. Attachment‐based couple and family interventions for depression are probably efficacious. Finally, family psychoeducation for depression is possibly efficacious, and integrative couple interventions and family play‐based interventions for depression are experimental. Couple and family interventions also improved relationship dynamics, which is noteworthy since poor relationships are associated with non‐remission, relapse, and recurrence of depressive and bipolar symptoms. Future research is needed on couple interventions for bipolar disorders and interventions for minoritized populations.

AbstractAimThe current systematic review aimed to present the pooled estimated prevalence and risk factors of PPD.BackgroundPostpartum depression seriously affects the physical and mental health of the mother and child. However, high‐quality meta‐analysis is limited, which restricts the screening and intervention of postpartum depression.DesignA systematic review and meta‐analysis.MethodsCochrane Library, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched for cohort and case‐control studies investigating the prevalence and risk factors of postpartum depression from inception to December 31st, 2020. Meta‐analyses were performed to identify postpartum depression prevalence and risk factors using a random‐effects model.ResultsOf the 33 citations evaluated, 27 reported the prevalence of postpartum depression in 33 separate study populations containing 133,313.subjects. Pooled prevalence in all studies was 14.0% (95%CI, 12.0%–15.0%). The prevalence varied according to country (from 5.0% to 26.32%) and developing countries, especially China, have a high prevalence of postpartum depression. The following risk factors were associated with postpartum depression: gestational diabetes mellitus(OR = 2.71, 95%CI 1.78–4.14, I2 = 0.0%), depression during pregnancy(OR = 2.40, 95%CI 1.96–2.93, I2 = 96.7%), pregnant women give birth to boys(OR = 1.62; 95%CI 1.28–2.05; I2 = 0.0%), history of depression during pregnancy(OR = 4.82, 95%CI 1.32–17.54, I2 = 74.9%), history of depression(OR = 3.09, 95%CI 1.62–5.93, I2 = 86.5%) and epidural anaesthesia during delivery(OR = .81, 95%CI .13–4.87, I2 = 90.1%).ConclusionsThe prevalence of postpartum depression seems to be high, especially in developing countries. Gestational diabetes mellitus, depression during pregnancy, pregnant women give birth to boys, history of depression during pregnancy, history of depression, epidural anaesthesia during delivery were identified as risk factors for postpartum depression. Understanding the risk factors of PPD can provide the healthcare personnel with the theoretical basis for the patients’ management and treatment.Implications for practice: This systematic review and meta‐analysis identified six significant risk factors for PPD, which provides nurses with a theoretical basis for managing and treating women with PPD to effectively improve the screening rate, intervention rate and referral rate of women with PPD.
Cultural Biases in Equity Analysis
Authors: PURSIAINEN VESA 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTA more positive cultural trust bias by an equity analyst's country of origin toward a firm's headquarter country is associated with significantly more positive stock recommendations. The cultural bias effect is stronger for eponymous firms whose names mention their home country and varies over time, increasing with negative sentiment. I find evidence of a negative North‐South bias during the European debt crisis and United Kingdom‐Europe divergence amid Brexit. Share price reactions to recommendations by more biased analysts are weaker, and more biased recommendations are worse predictors of monthly stock returns. More positively biased analysts also assign higher target prices.
Skill, Scale, and Value Creation in the Mutual Fund Industry
Authors: BARRAS LAURENT , GAGLIARDINI PATRICK , SCAILLET OLIVIER 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTWe develop a flexible and bias‐adjusted approach to jointly examine skill, scalability, and value‐added across individual funds. We find that skill and scalability (i) vary substantially across funds, and (ii) are strongly related, as great investment ideas are difficult to scale up. The combination of skill and scalability produces a value‐added that (i) is positive for the majority of funds, and (ii) approaches its optimal level after an adjustment period (possibly due to investor learning). These results are consistent with theoretical models in which funds are skilled and able to extract economic rents from capital markets.

AbstractEvaluating the factors that promote invasive ant abundance is critical to assess their ecological impact and inform their management. Many invasive ant species show reduced nestmate recognition and an absence of boundaries between unrelated nests, which allow populations to achieve greater densities due to reduced intraspecific competition. We examined nestmate discrimination and colony boundaries in introduced populations of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta; hereafter, fire ant). Fire ants occur in two social forms: monogyne (colonies with a single egg‐laying queen) and polygyne (colonies with multiple egg‐laying queens). In contrast with monogyne nests, polygyne nests are thought to be interconnected due to the reduced antagonism between non‐nestmate polygyne workers, perhaps because polygyne workers habituate the colony to an odour unique to Gp‐9b‐carrying adults. However, colony boundaries and nestmate discrimination are poorly documented, particularly for worker‐brood interactions. To delimit boundaries between field colonies, we correlated the exchange of a 15N‐glycine tracer dissolved in a sucrose solution with social form. We also evaluated nestmate discrimination between polygyne workers and larvae in the laboratory. Counter to our expectations, polygyne colonies behaved identically to monogyne colonies, suggesting both social forms maintain strict colony boundaries. Polygyne workers also preferentially fed larval nestmates and may have selectively cannibalized non‐nestmates. The levels of relatedness among workers in polygyne colonies was higher than those previously reported in North America (mean ± standard error: 0.269 ± 0.037). Our study highlights the importance of combining genetic analyses with direct quantification of resource exchange to better understand the factors influencing ant invasions.

SummaryThe aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to examine the effectiveness of e‐health interventions for the treatment of children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Databases were searched up to November 2020. Studies were randomized controlled trials where interventions were delivered via e‐health (e.g., computers, tablets, and smartphones, but not phone calls). Studies should target the treatment of overweight or obesity in children or their agent of changes and report body mass index (BMI) or BMI z‐score. A meta‐analysis using a random‐effects model was conducted. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria, and 60% were of high quality. The narrative review revealed variation in behavior change strategies and modes of delivery. The pooled mean reduction in BMI or BMI z‐score showed evidence for a nonzero effect (standardized mean difference = −0.31, 95% confidence interval −0.49 to −0.13), with moderately high heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 74%, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed high heterogeneity in studies with a high or unclear risk of bias. E‐health interventions can be effective in treating children and adolescents with overweight and obesity and should be considered by practitioners and policymakers. However, an understanding of the most effective and acceptable intervention components, long‐term benefits, and sustainability should be further studied.

AbstractInhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin function to downregulate cell growth and proliferation and have off‐label use in pediatrics for vascular malformations. Hypertriglyceridemia is a known side effect of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors. Further studies to better understand the incidence and treatment of hypertriglyceridemia in infants and neonates are warranted.
Preservation of native sigmoid colon for secondary continent cystostomy after multivisceral transplantation for chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Published: November 2021

AbstractChronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is characterized by severe digestive +/‐ urinary dysmotility. If the conservative management fails, multivisceral transplantation (MVT) may be needed. However, urinary dysmotility remains after MVT and requires to continue urinary catheterizations and/or drainage. We report on a boy with severe CIPO complicated by (1) chronic intestinal obstruction requiring total parenteral nutrition, decompression gastrostomy, and ileostomy; (2) recurrent line infections; (3) hepatic fibrosis; and (4) distension of the bladder and upper urinary tract, and recurrent urinary infections, leading to non‐continent cystostomy for urinary drainage. He underwent MVT at the age of 5 years. The transplant included the liver, stomach, duodenum and pancreas, small bowel, and right colon. The distal native sigmoid colon was preserved. Fifteen months later, he underwent a pull through of the transplanted right colon (Duhamel's procedure), together with a tube continent cystostomy (Monti's procedure) using the native sigmoid. Postoperative course was uneventful, and the remaining ileostomy was closed 3 months later. Five years post‐transplant, he is alive and well. He is fed by mouth with complementary gastrostomy feeding at night. He has 3–6 stools per day, with occasional soiling. The cystostomy is used for intermittent urinary catheterization 4 times/day and continuous drainage at night. He is dry, with rare afebrile urinary infections, normal renal function, and un‐dilated upper urinary tract. Conclusion: in severe CIPO with urinary involvement, preservation of the distal native sigmoid colon during MVT allows secondary creation of a continent tube cystostomy, which is useful to manage persistent urinary disease.
Prejudice as the misattribution of salience☆
Authors: Munton Jessie 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWhat does it take to be prejudiced against a particular group? And is prejudice always epistemically problematic, or are there epistemically innocent forms of prejudice? In this paper, I argue that certain important forms of prejudice can be wholly constituted by the differential accessibility of certain pieces of information. These accessibility relations constitute a salience structure. A subject is prejudiced against a particular group when their salience structure is unduly organised around that category. This is significant because it reveals that prejudice does not require the presence of any explicit cognitive or emotive attitude, nor need it manifest in behaviour: it can be solely constituted by the organisation of information, where that information may be accurate and well‐founded. Nonetheless, by giving an account of ‘undue organisation’ in epistemic terms, I show that this account is compatible with an understanding of prejudice as a negatively valenced epistemic category.

AbstractIn some central‐American countries, Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi infection can cause non‐ulcerated or atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis (NUCL) in addition to the classic clinical form, visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Little is known about the host‐parasite relationship that can contribute to the determination of one or another clinical form. The present study had the objective to evaluate the humoral and cellular immunity in the sera of individuals affected by NUCL to improve the comprehension of this atypical host‐parasite interaction. Based on clinical and laboratory diagnosis, serum of 80 individuals was collected to evaluate the cytokines and immunoglobulins profile of NUCL (n = 47), VL patients (n = 5), and negative controls (n = 28). Cytokines were detected using Cytokine Bead Array (CBA) Human Th1/Th2/Th17 kit according to the manufacturer's instructions; class (IgG and IgM), and subclass of (IgG1 and IgG2) immunoglobulins was evaluated by ELISA using specific antigens. The concentration of TNF‐α, IFN‐γ, IL‐2 and IL‐4 cytokines in NUCL, VL and control was present below the detection threshold of CBA kit. IL‐6, IL‐10 and IL‐17A cytokines was lower in NUCL compared to LV patients. Regarding to immunoglobulins, NUCL patients produced 4.0 times more IgG than the control, while VL patients produced 6.6 times more; and IgM level was 1.6 times higher in NUCL and 2.6 times in VL patients compared to the control. Concerning the immunoglobulins subclass, only VL patients showed positive reaction for IgG1, and IgG2 did not show positive reaction among the groups. The results showed a weak cellular and humoral systemic immune response in NUCL patients.
