“When nothing happens, nobody is afraid!” beliefs and perceptions around self‐care and health‐seeking behaviours: Voices of patients living with diabetic lower extremity amputation in primary care

Published: May 2021

AbstractSelf‐management and self‐care are the cornerstone of diabetes care and an essential part of successfully preventing or delaying diabetes complications. Yet, despite being armed with the required information and guidance for self‐management, self‐care and adherence to foot self‐care recommendations and compliance to medication among patients with diabetic foot ulcer and diabetic lower extremity amputations remain low and suboptimal. This study reveals in‐depth account of nine such patients' beliefs and perceptions around their illness, their self‐care, and their health‐seeking behaviours. Patients living with diabetic lower extremity amputation displayed profound lack of knowledge of self‐care of diabetes and foot and passive health‐related behaviours. The overarching sense that "when nothing happens, nobody is afraid," points to a lack of motivation in taking charge of one's own health, whether this is with reference to treatment or care adherence, following recommended self‐care advice, or seeking timely treatment. The Health Beliefs Model provides the theoretical framework for probing into the factors for the participants' suboptimal self‐care and passive health‐seeking behaviours. Two themes emerged from data analysis: profound knowledge deficit and passive health‐related behaviours. The beliefs and perceptions around self‐care and health‐seeking behaviours for patients with lower extremity amputation are interpreted as the “ignorant self” with passive health‐seeking behaviours. Patients with diabetes and diabetic foot diseases may benefit from personalized education, motivational interviewing, and family support.

Published: May 2021

AbstractAimsSensory‐based approaches, including sensory room, sensory cart and specific sensory integration programs, feature various sensory stimulations to focus on a particular space or program. This systematic mixed‐methods review describes the impact of sensory‐based approaches in psychiatric care and summarizes the important components of sensory interventions.DesignSystematic mixed‐methods review was based on the guidelines by Pluye and Hong for comprehensively searching, appraising and synthesizing research evidence.Data sourcesData were collected from five databases: CINAHL, Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science and Cochrane before March 9, 2020.Review methodsQualitative, quantitative, mixed‐methods and original studies published in English on sensory‐based approaches in psychiatric care were included. The studies were selected by screening titles, abstracts and full texts, and the quality of each study was assessed by two researchers independently. The data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsSixteen studies were chosen for review. Through data integration, four subthemes with positive effects were formed: (1) calming of the patient's mood; (2) calming of the patient's body; (3) improvement of self‐care ability; and (4) improvement of the nurse‐patient relationship. The sensory‐based approach may also lead to negative effects.ConclusionsSeveral important components play important roles in the sensory‐based approaches: (1) rich, culture‐based, personalized sensory stimulation; (2) a quiet, safe, home‐based physical environment; (3) a good one‐to‐one nurse‐patient relationship; (4) and the cultivation of patient autonomy and self‐management. Sensory‐based approaches in a multicultural environment and home environment will be important topics of psychiatric care in the future.ImpactThere is a lack of synthesis of studies on results of sensory‐based approaches in psychiatric care. Four components are important to sensory interventions. It is necessary for mental health service centres and home care for the patients with psychotic disorders to use sensory‐based approaches for reference.
Construction of a SUMOylation regulator‐based prognostic model in low‐grade glioma
Authors: Li Xiaozhi , Meng Yutong 
Published: May 2021

AbstractLow‐grade glioma (LGG) is an intracranial malignant tumour that mainly originates from astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. SUMOylation is one of the post‐translational modifications but studies of SUMOylation in LGG is quite limited. Transcriptome data, single nucleotide variant (SNV) data and clinical data of LGG were derived from public databases. The differences between the expression of SUMOylation regulators in LGG and normal brain tissue were analysed. Cox regression was used to construct a prognostic model in the training cohort. Kaplan‐Meier survival curves and ROC curves were plotted in the training and the validation cohort to evaluate the effectiveness of the prognostic model. GO and KEGG analyses were applied to preliminarily analyse the biological functions. Compared with normal brain tissue, SENP1 and SENP7 were up‐regulated and SENP5 was down‐regulated in LGG. SUMOylation regulators may be involved in functions such as mRNA splicing, DNA replication, ATPase activity and spliceosome. One prognostic model was established based on the 4 SUMOylation regulator‐related signatures (RFWD3, MPHOSPH9, WRN and NUP155), which had a good predictive ability for overall survival. This study is expected to provide targets for the diagnosis and treatment of low‐grade glioma.
Cash flow growth and stock returns
Authors: Jansen Benjamin A. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractI extend the financial economic literature by presenting and testing a model that expresses a firm's expected stock return as a function of its expected free cash flow growth. Results suggest that cash flow growth is positively associated with stock returns. Furthermore, additional information is reflected through cash flow growth relative to cash flow, profits, and dividends. Evidence additionally suggests that operating activities explain more than investment activities of the firm. I find that $1 invested in the long–short cash flow growth portfolio grows to $15.30 over the sample period, whereas $1 invested in the stock market grows to $9.85.
Hyperactive behaviour in Angelman syndrome: the association with sleep problems and age of epilepsy onset
Authors: Bakke K. A. , Howlin P. , Helverschou S. B. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractBackgroundSleep problems are common in many neurodevelopmental disorders, but little is known about how sleep is related to behavioural symptoms in Angelman syndrome (AS) or other genetic disorders. Hyperactive behaviour, sleep problems and epilepsy seem to be more common in AS than in other genetic conditions associated with severe intellectual disability. We hypothesised that both more sleep problems and earlier onset of epileptic seizures would predict more symptoms of hyperactivity. Hence, the aim of the project was to explore the association between hyperactive behaviour, sleep problems and age of epilepsy onset in individuals with AS.MethodAll known parents/guardians (n = 115) of individuals with AS in Norway were invited to participate in this descriptive correlational study. Fifty‐six individuals (49%) responded, and 42 people (25 male and 17 female; mean age 18.5 years, range 2–57 years) with genetically verified AS were included. Scores for ‘hyperactivity’ and ‘sleep problems’ were derived from questionnaire data. Information on epilepsy was obtained from medical records.Results‘Hyperactivity’ was positively correlated with ‘total sleep problems’ (r = 0.46, P = 0.002) and negatively correlated with ‘age of epilepsy onset’ (r = −0.47, P = 0.01). ‘Age of epilepsy onset’ was not correlated with ‘total sleep problems’. An overall multiple regression model with ‘hyperactivity’ as the dependent variable and ‘age of epilepsy onset’ and ‘total sleep problems’ as covariates was significant (R2 = 0.39, F = 8.16, P = 0.002). Hence, hyperactivity in AS could be predicted from both age of epilepsy onset and current sleep problems.ConclusionsSleep problems may increase hyperactivity symptoms in individuals with AS. The association between hyperactivity and sleep problems in AS indicates that both should be investigated together as part of routine clinical assessment and intervention for either area of difficulty. Younger age of epilepsy onset was associated with more hyperactivity in AS, which may be related to encephalopathic effects of seizures and epilepsy.

AbstractBackgroundAdjustments in teaching resources and school meal programs are urgently needed during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study examined teaching resources that would have been helpful when schools closed, and how school meal programs should be changed in the 2020‐2021 school year.MethodsIn October 2020, a 27‐item, cross‐sectional, online survey was administered to 99 teachers and staff members in an urban, Midwestern school district. Data were analyzed using frequencies and proportions, and open‐ended responses were analyzed using content analysis.ResultsOnline teaching was difficult for teachers and students, and training for online teaching, improved Internet access, and more time for grading or office hours would have been helpful when schools closed. Meal programs were offered by 86% of schools after closing, and many participants supported continuing meal programs for 2020‐2021. Resources needed to continue meal programs included funding for meal reimbursement, transportation to the meal sites, and more staff. Suggested changes to meal programs included offering more variety or more food, and solving transportation issues.ConclusionAddressing these concerns can improve school and community health. Findings will inform efforts to enhance online teaching and improve and continue school meal programs as the world continues to be affected by COVID‐19.

Published: May 2021

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this scoping review is to summarize the current knowledge base in order to make recommendations for prevention and treatment of substance use disorders among the farming populations.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review of peer‐reviewed articles published between January 1989 and September 2019. The search yielded 3,426 citations and the final review was conducted on 42 articles. The full review was conducted by 4 authors to extract information about the target population, data collection methods, and main results.FindingsThere were 21 articles on farmers and 21 articles on farmworkers. The majority of the articles were about alcohol. Overall, farmers had higher prevalence of risky alcohol consumption patterns than nonfarmers. The prevalence of risky alcohol consumption was also high among farmworkers compared to the general population. Risk factors for risky alcohol consumption included male gender, lower socioeconomic status, and psychological problems (eg, depression). Recommendations for prevention and intervention of alcohol disorders included policy development and implementation to curb alcohol access by taxation, screening of alcohol‐related problems, and alternative means of recreation instead of alcohol consumption.ConclusionsThis review confirmed that alcohol‐related problems are prevalent among farmers and farmworkers. More population‐based research is called for to understand the additional risk factors of alcohol disorders and the prevalence of other substance‐related disorders. Also, interventions should be tailored to the unique culture of farmers and farmworkers.
Personality and public performance
Authors: Harré Rom 
Published: May 2021

AbstractMy aim is to present a unified, though complex, set of ideas as to what personalities are and how we might go about studying them. Psychology has tried in the past to make itself ‘scientific’ just by changing its clothes. Instead of talking of thoughts and feelings, projects and ambitions, there has been talk of measures and numbers, and the doing of much statistical calculation. Adopting a scientific rhetoric has tempted psychologists of personality to gloss over the difficulties of actually getting down to the actual substance of truly scientific study. So when I am talking about new techniques and methods I am not going to be talking about new techniques of measurements or hitherto unconsidered variables, I am going to be talking about what constitutes the very heart of a scientific enterprise and that is our method of constructing concepts and conceptual systems for understanding and analysing what we are interested in ‐ in this case personality.
‘If you read at home, it's more relaxed, there are no limits’: Insights into domestic reading practices of Croatian and Slovenian university students
Authors: Vogrinčič Čepič Ana , Kotrla Topić Marina 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe aim of this interview study is to explore how skilled readers use their homes as their reading space, while paying attention to what ‘home’ refers to, what they read there, the ‘where’ and ‘when’ aspects of reading at home, and home reading rituals. We conducted semistructured in‐depth interviews with ten university students (four from Croatia and six from Slovenia). Based on what the students said and how they said it, we tried to show that reading is a complex phenomenon, a physical experience, embodied and situated, and, as such, influenced by the immediate environment. Our basic finding is that the comfort of home is often reflected in the comfort of reading. Our participants emphasize the need to feel relaxed and to create private reading atmosphere. Home is a place where they can adjust the space according to their requirements, instead of them adjusting to the environment in which they read. However, when asked about their ideal reading situations, they often talked about other, mostly outdoor, settings that cannot always be adjusted to one's comfort. The paper also discusses different methodological approaches that could grasp domestic reading practices more in depth and emphasize the emotional side of the experience.
The Beta vulgaris‐derived resistance gene Rz2 confers broad‐spectrum resistance against soilborne sugar beet‐infecting viruses from different families by recognizing triple gene block protein 1

Published: May 2021

AbstractSugar beet cultivation is dependent on an effective control of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV, family Benyviridae), which causes tremendous economic losses in sugar production. As the virus is transmitted by a soilborne protist, the use of resistant cultivars is currently the only way to control the disease. The Rz2 gene product belongs to a family of proteins conferring resistance towards diverse pathogens in plants. These proteins contain coiled‐coil and leucine‐rich repeat domains. After artificial inoculation of homozygous Rz2 resistant sugar beet lines, BNYVV and beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV, family Benyviridae) were not detected. Analysis of the expression of Rz2 in naturally infected plants indicated constitutive expression in the root system. In a transient assay, coexpression of Rz2 and the individual BNYVV‐encoded proteins revealed that only the combination of Rz2 and triple gene block protein 1 (TGB1) resulted in a hypersensitive reaction (HR)‐like response. Furthermore, HR was also triggered by the TGB1 homologues from BSBMV as well as from the more distantly related beet soilborne virus (family Virgaviridae). This is the first report of an R gene providing resistance across different plant virus families.
Populist Attitudes and Direct Democracy: A Questionable Relationship
Authors: Gherghina Sergiu , Pilet Jean‐Benoit 
Published: May 2021

AbstractEarlier research links citizens’ populist attitudes with the support for referendums. However, the foundations and meaning of this relationship remain unclear. This research note proposes a theoretical, conceptual and methodological discussion that identifies three main problems: studies linking populist attitudes with support for referendums have a rather narrow theoretical framing limited to populist studies, there is much ambiguity surrounding the role of direct democracy in the political system, and there is a tautology in studying the relationship between populist attitudes as measured through various indices and the preferences for direct democracy. Our goal is to discuss such problems and to propose several avenues to circumvent them. In particular, we believe that connecting to adjacent literatures beyond populist studies could be an important improvement.
The Democratic Ambivalence of EU Disintegration: A Mapping of Costs and Benefits
Authors: Patberg Markus 
Published: May 2021

AbstractSince Brexit, there has been increasing interest in democratic theory in the question of the conditions under which reversals of European integration can be considered legitimate. So far, however, the literature is very much focused on the specific case of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. In this article, I seek to prepare the ground for a systematic theory that clarifies, at a general level, the scope and limits as well as the actors and procedures of democratically legitimate disintegration. To that end, I map the potential democratic costs and benefits of EU disintegration. In doing so, I distinguish five types of disintegration: retreat, revocation, exit, expulsion, and dissolution. All of these measures can produce conflicts between the democratic claims of citizens and peoples. Many of these cannot be resolved but must be dealt with politically. Overall, disintegration bears more potential costs for citizens than for peoples.
Molecular phylogeny of Megasternini terrestrial water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae) reveals repeated continental interchange during Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum
Authors: Arriaga‐Varela Emmanuel , Sýkora Vít , Fikáček Martin 
Published: May 2021

AbstractMegasternini is the largest group of terrestrial water scavenger beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) represented by ca. 600 described species distributed worldwide. The highest species diversity is known from tropical areas of all continents. In this study, we used sequences of eight gene regions (five nuclear and three mitochondrial) to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography of this group, implementing maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian topology inference, Bayesian divergence dating, ML‐based ancestral area estimation and Bayesian diversification analyses. Topology analyses reveal two main lineages of Megasternini characterized by the morphology of male genitalia and surrounding sclerites; these lineages are defined here as subtribes Megasternina Mulsant and Oosternina new subtribe. We identify 12 principal clades of Megasternini, three in Oosternina and nine in Megasternina. These clades group the taxa largely by their geographic distribution rather than morphology, indicating a parallel evolution of morphological characters. Genera Cercyon Leach, Oosternum Sharp, Cetiocyon Hansen, Australocyon Hansen and Pelosoma Mulsant were not recovered as monophyletic. Species of Cercyon, the most diverse genus in the tribe, are found in all principal clades in both subtribes. These results suggest a need for the reorganization of generic concepts in the tribe. The historical biogeography analysis reveals a series of parallel intercontinental dispersal events, including the colonization of South America by Australian members of Oosternina ca. 90 million years ago (mya) and at least five dispersal events between Asia and America ca. 63–55 mya via the Beringia land bridge. The timing of the Asia‐America faunal interchange corresponds to the hyperthermal climate of the Late Paleocene and Early Eocene that allowed the expansion of tropical and subtropical biomes towards polar regions. Diversification analyses revealed no effect of intercontinental dispersals on speciation or extinction rates and suggested a possible effect of declining global temperatures in the last 20 million years.
The origin of Upper Permian basinal dolomites in SW Poland: Impact of ascending brines
Authors: Peryt Tadeusz M. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe conventional mechanism for dolomitization in evaporitic basins is by drawdown‐related reflux of brines, but it seems that ascending brines were responsible in the case of basal Zechstein (Wuchiapingian) strata. Dolomite of basinal sections of the Zechstein Limestone in SW Poland show mostly fabric‐destructive dolomitization and wide δ18OVPDB and δ13CVPDB ranges (−3.78 to 6.47‰ and −1.64 to +5.3‰ respectively). The maximum δ18O value reflects the temperature of dolomitizing fluid equal to approximately 38°C, if the δ18O of water = +4‰ is assumed. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of the dolomite samples vary from 0.707924 to 0.711164 and are clearly enriched with respect to the contemporaneous seawater values. The basinal dolomites have originated owing to interaction of low‐temperature brines from the underlying red beds and hypersaline brines originated during the Zechstein evaporite deposition. The conventional concept connecting the highly radiogenic strontium values recorded in dolomites with the overlying formations, and thus implying the reflux mechanism of dolomitization, should be re‐evaluated.
Travel time errors caused by geomasking might be different between transportation modes and types of urban area
Authors: Kim Junghwan , Kwan Mei‐Po 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThis article examines the effects of two widely used geomasking methods (aggregation and the bimodal Gaussian method) on errors in car‐ and transit‐based travel times from people's homes to health facilities using Cook County in Illinois as a case study area. It addresses two research questions: (Q1) How do the effects of geomasking on travel time errors differ between transportation modes? (Q2) How do errors in car‐ and transit‐based travel times differ between urban and suburban areas? The results indicate that geomasking introduces considerable errors in travel times. Specifically, errors in transit‐based travel times are significantly higher than those in car‐based travel times. Moreover, when large radii are used for geomasking, errors in car‐based travel times in urban areas are significantly higher than those in suburban areas. On the contrary, transit‐based travel time errors in urban areas are significantly lower than those in suburban areas. Because transportation modes and urban area types play essential roles in travel time errors caused by geomasking, researchers need to mitigate these errors when using geomasked locations for their analysis (e.g., evaluating the spatial accessibility of certain facilities, such as hospitals or healthy food outlets).
