Landowner perceptions of livestock predation: implications for persecution of an Amazonian apex predator
Authors: Miranda E. B. P. , Peres C. A. , Downs C. T. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractApex predators are widely threatened globally and generally considered a priority on the conservation biology agenda. The harpy eagle, Harpia harpyja, is an apex predator threatened by habitat loss and persecution and a flagship species for Neotropical conservation. We investigated the roles of social, economic and environmental factors related to livestock depredation by harpy eagles, causes of reported harpy eagle persecution by local landholders and the intent of future harpy eagle killings. We explored these issues using structured interviews with 184 local livestock owners, who had admitted killing a combined total of 181 harpy eagles. We found that livestock abundance and livestock husbandry were the best positive predictors of levels of self‐reported livestock predation by harpy eagles. Domestic livestock reported to be killed by harpy eagles (192) were mainly chickens (47.9%), followed by goats (22.4%), pigs (18.2%) and sheep (8.3%), with pets representing only ~3% of kills. Few harpy eagle killings were related to livestock predation, which accounted for less than 20% of all eagles killed. Instead, the main reason for killing harpy eagles was simple curiosity, and many interviewees reported later regretting their acts. Regarding intent to kill harpy eagles in the future, interviewees’ perceptions of the threat posed to livestock and humans by eagles, and the subjective norm, were unrelated to intent to kill harpy eagles further. The single most important factor in predicting intent to kill harpy eagles was whether the interviewee had suffered livestock predation by eagles in the past. Additionally, the intention to kill eagles was negatively associated with landholding size. Most of our interviewees were relatively large landowners, but they are typically outnumbered by smallholders who are more likely to persecute harpy eagles. Consequently, education, compensation and tourism activities should be directed to smallholders to mitigate unnecessary persecution and mortality of harpy eagles.

Published: July 2021

AbstractReintroductions are becoming a popular tool to prevent extinctions, although their overall success rate is low. Assessing the efficiency and cost‐effectiveness of different reintroduction strategies may help identify and promote efficient practices. Captive‐breeding is widely used in animal reintroductions, although concerns have been raised about relatively high failure rates and economic costs. Here, we compared the effectiveness of two simultaneously used strategies in the reintroduction of the Bonelli’s eagle on the island of Mallorca: The release of captive‐bred chicks and wild‐reared, translocated non‐juveniles. To do so, we estimated the main vital rates for individuals released by both strategies and used these to perform population simulations to assess their overall performances. The use of wild‐reared non‐juveniles showed a trend with higher numbers of breeding pairs 10 years after the end of releases (14.75 pairs, 95% CI 4–25 vs. 11.21 pairs, 95% CI 2–24) and was the only strategy that prevented extinction in the long term. Following that, based on cost estimations of every strategy and different reintroduction budgets, we assessed the cost‐effectiveness of releasing wild‐reared non‐juveniles compared with two captive‐breeding alternatives: Releasing chicks either originally from breeding programmes or extracted from nests in natural populations. Again, releasing wild‐reared non‐juveniles was the only strategy that prevented long‐term extinction in all economic scenarios (i.e. low‐budget scenario 21.49 pairs, 95% CI 2–25). The use of chicks sourced from captive‐breeding programmes did not guarantee long‐term persistence even in high‐budget scenarios (14.50 pairs, 95% CI 0–25). Releasing wild‐reared non‐juveniles boosts early recruitment to the breeding population and early reproduction, which can be key for reintroduction success. However, in some scenarios, post‐release effects can be stronger in wild‐reared individuals, especially because of high translocation stress and post‐release dispersal. Hence, we recommend undertaking careful evaluation of the pros and cons of every strategy and embracing adaptive management to choose best strategies.

Published: July 2021

AimPsychotropic drugs like opioids and benzodiazepines are prescribed for traumas resulting from road traffic crashes and the risk of developing an addiction deserves consideration. This study aims to shed light on how the consumption of those drugs evolves over time among older road traffic injury (RTI) victims.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide Swedish register‐based longitudinal study to identify trajectories of post‐RTI psychotropic drug use. All individuals aged 50 years and older who had a hospital visit for an RTI from 2007 to 2015 were followed up during a 2‐year period; those who used the drugs prior to the RTI were excluded. Trajectories were identified by performing latent class trajectory analysis on drug dispensation data for opioids and benzodiazepines separately (66 034 and 66 859 adults, respectively, in total).ResultsThree trajectories were identified for opioids and four for benzodiazepines. The largest group in both instances included people with no‐use/minimal use throughout the follow‐up (81.3% and 92.8%). “Sporadic users” were more frequent among users of opioids (16.7%) than benzodiazepines (4.3%), whereas “chronic users” were found in similar proportions (2.0% and 1.8%). “Delayed chronic use” characterized the fourth group of benzodiazepine users (1.0%).ConclusionSeveral trajectories of psychotropic drug use were identified after RTI, from limited to chronic. Although chronic use was uncommon, a better understanding of the factors likely to increase that risk is warranted given the seriousness of the problem.
Advancing transcendent development: An in‐depth review of developmental corporate social responsibility’s value proposition, inhibitions, and inclusive sustainable development prospects
Authors: Thakhathi Andani 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis article offers a methodologically innovative Representative Literature Review of 260 Development‐Oriented Corporate Social Responsibility publications explicating why the nascent domain’s early momentum has seemingly stagnated. Using mixed‐methodological citation network analysis informed by Applied Thematic Analysis research design principles, this in‐depth literature review unearths a causal set of Impediments, leading to Inhibitors restraining Developmental Corporate Social Responsibility’s inclusive sustainable developmental potential. The Seven Impediments and their Seven Inhibitors are ultimately meta‐thematically synthesized into the following Three Inhibitions presently stifling the field: “(I) Ignorance,” “(II) Isomorphism,” and “(III) Inharmony.” Resultantly, this article offers three contributions for addressing these Inhibitions. First, academic scholarship is offered knowledge of how “(I) Ignorance” may be curbed by producing research that retains and builds upon knowledge cumulatively, instead of losing it to fragmentary dissipation born of scholarly incoherence. Second, institutional policymakers are offered pathways for transcending superficial “(II) Isomorphism” by enforcing regulation that engenders ethical business conduct by filling critical institutional voids in developing context jurisdictions. Finally, this review outlines how the Inhibition of “(III) Inharmony” may be pragmatically transcended by harmonizing unconscious ontological dissonance through self‐awareness and reflexive virtue development by synergistically enacting individual Moral Courage, Moral Tact, and Moral Imagination tempered by African Vhuthu/Ubuntu.
The Costs and Benefits of Co‐Rumination
Authors: Rose Amanda J. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractA common belief is that talking about problems makes us feel better. In fact, seeking social support is related to well‐being. However, if taken to a perseverative extreme, talking about problems can become problematic. The construct of co‐rumination was developed to address this idea. Co‐rumination refers to talking excessively about problems and is characterized by rehashing problems, speculating about problems, and dwelling on negative feelings. Co‐rumination is typically studied in children’s and adolescents’ friendships and has adjustment trade‐offs. Like rumination, co‐rumination is associated with internalizing symptoms. However, co‐rumination also is associated with having high‐quality relationships, presumably due to social sharing. In this article, I review what it means to co‐ruminate; how co‐rumination is assessed; the roles of age, gender, and relationship context; associations with adjustment; and the role of interpersonal stress and problems. I close by considering directions for research and applied implications.
‘A learning experience’: Disciplinary and parenting practices among Native American families
Authors: McKinley Catherine , Knipp Hannah , Lilly Jenn 
Published: August 2021

AbstractResearch indicates that effective disciplinary practices, such as offering praise and teaching acceptable versus non‐acceptable behaviour, can act as protective factors against the social and behavioural health disparities experienced by Native Americans (NA). The purpose of this critical ethnographic study (n = 436 qualitative elder, adult, youth and professional participants) was to use the Framework of Historical Oppression, Resilience, and Transcendence (FHORT) to qualitatively examine participants' reported experiences of disciplinary practices. Thematic analysis of qualitative results indicated several approaches to disciplining children, which included the following themes: (a) Establishing Structure and Boundaries; (b) Taking Away Privileges and Rewarding Good Behavior; and (c) Teaching Right from Wrong. Results indicate that despite experiencing historical oppression, NAs still report many disciplinary and other parenting practices contributing to family resilience that were present prior to colonization. Communal and relational supports contribute to positive parenting practices, indicating an importance to promote holistic and inclusive clinical treatment approaches.

AbstractBackgroundTo gather information on long‐term outcomes after living donation, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) conducted a pilot on the feasibility of establishing a comprehensive donor candidate registry.MethodsA convenience sample of 6 US living liver donor programs evaluated 398 consecutive donor candidates in 2018, ending with the March 12, 2020, COVID‐19 emergency.ResultsFor 333/398 (83.7%), the donor or program decided whether to donate; 166/333 (49.8%) were approved, and 167/333 (50.2%) were not or opted out. Approval rates varied by program, from 27.0% to 63.3% (median, 46%; intraquartile range, 37.3–51.1%). Of those approved, 90.4% were white, 57.2% were women, 83.1% were < 50 years, and 85.5% had more than a high school education. Of 167 candidates, 131 (78.4%) were not approved or opted out because of: medical risk (10.7%); chronic liver disease risk (11.5%); psychosocial reasons (5.3%); candidate declined (6.1%); anatomical reasons increasing recipient risk (26.0%); recipient‐related reasons (33.6%); finances (1.5%); or other (5.3%).ConclusionsA comprehensive national registry is feasible and necessary to better understand candidate selection and long‐term outcomes. As a result, the US Health Resources and Services Administration asked SRTR to expand the pilot to include all US living donor programs.

Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTIn recent years Europe has become a primary focus for Chinese investment. In the context of the rolling out of Chinese government plans such as its Belt and Road Initiative and ‘Made in China 2025’ industrial strategy, and the fact that many Chinese companies are either controlled or influenced by the Communist Party, major consequences for Europe's economic development — and its social, political and geopolitical corollaries — are now in train. The analyses presented in this special issue significantly advance our understanding of the dynamics and consequences of China's deepening economic engagements in Europe. They do so particularly in relation to the contentious issues surrounding corporate acquisitions by Chinese companies, the security problems associated with some investments and the impact of China's investment finance. This introductory article offers an institutional framework for comprehending the other articles that constitute the special issue and provides summaries of their contents. Additionally, it provides an assessment of how the special issue's contribution advances our understanding of China's externalization and its implications for European economic development.

Published: August 2021

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to clarify the mechanisms of the transient increase in neutrophils after running standard marathon races by measurement of cytokines involved in the production and survival of neutrophils, and cortisol.MethodsFourteen male runners who participated in the Hokkaido Marathon, which is the sole marathon race held in summer in Japan, and finished the standard marathon were analyzed sequentially from the start until a maximum of 8 days after the finish.ResultsNeutrophilia was observed in all runners just after they reached the goal (mean neutrophils: 13 226/μL). IL‐6, G‐CSF, and cortisol, but not GM‐CSF, increased at the same time. Time‐course studies with complete blood counts, biochemical markers, cytokines, and cortisol showed transient increases in neutrophils, monocytes, myoglobin, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP), G‐CSF, IL‐6, and cortisol. The increase in hsCRP was delayed 6 hours from the first increase in neutrophils. Correlations were observed between the neutrophil count and G‐CSF, IL‐6, and cortisol (G‐CSF; r = .667, IL‐6; r = .667, cortisol; r = .623).ConclusionThese results suggest that G‐CSF is directly involved, and IL‐6 is involved via cortisol in the transient neutrophilia that occurs after marathon races.
Differential impact of stay‐at‐home orders on mental health in adults who are homeschooling or “childless at home” in time of COVID‐19

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has forced the confinement of most populations worldwide, through stay‐at‐home orders. Children have continued their education process at home, supervised by parents, who, in most cases, have adopted the role of prime drivers of their learning processes. In this study, the psychological impact of confinement was explored, as well as the relationship of the forced homeschooling situation with psychological well‐being. During their confinement, 400 individuals residing in Spain—165 without children at home (Group 1), 104 parents who dedicated little time to homeschooling (Group 2), and 131 who dedicated more time to homeschooling (Group 3)—responded to an online questionnaire. The results show that confinement threatened the mental health of all the participants but especially Group 3 individuals, who had the highest loneliness, anxiety, and stress levels. Moreover, loneliness, perception of discomfort due to homeschooling, and anxiety exacerbated the stress experienced during confinement. Discomfort due to the homeschooling situation was especially relevant in explaining anxiety and stress for Group 3 individuals. These results suggest that forced homeschooling could be associated with the negative consequences that confinement has on individuals’ mental health. Moreover, the results suggest that parents who dedicate more time to homeschooling feel more unprotected and more stressed due to the homeschooling in comparison to Group 2 individuals. Health professionals must pay special attention to parents who dedicate more time to homeschooling, and governments and schools must emphasize social support provision to families during homeschooling situations.
A humanized version of Foxp2 affects ultrasonic vocalization in adult female and male mice

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe transcription factor FoxP2 is involved in setting up the neuronal circuitry for vocal learning in mammals and birds and is thought to have played a special role in the evolution of human speech and language. It has been shown that an allele with a humanized version of the murine Foxp2 gene changes the ultrasonic vocalization of mouse pups compared to pups of the wild‐type inbred strain. Here we tested if this humanized allele would also affect the ultrasonic vocalization of adult female and male mice. In a previous study, in which only male vocalization was considered and the mice were recorded under a restricted spatial and temporal regime, no difference in adult vocalization between genotypes was found. Here, we use a different test paradigm in which both female and male vocalizations are recorded in extended social contact. We found differences in temporal, spectral and syntactical parameters between the genotypes in both sexes, and between sexes. Mice carrying the humanized Foxp2 allele were using higher frequencies and more complex syllable types than mice of the corresponding wildtype inbred strain. Our results support the notion that the humanized Foxp2 allele has a differential effect on mouse ultrasonic vocalization. As mice carrying the humanized version of the Foxp2 gene show effects opposite to those of mice carrying disrupted or mutated alleles of this gene, we conclude that this mouse line represents an important model for the study of human speech and language evolution.

AbstractIntroductionDespite increasing awareness of issues faced by women and girls with inherited BDs (WGBD), standards of care are lacking, with disparities in diagnosis and treatment for WGBD across Europe. We aimed to develop practical principles of care (PoC) to promote standardization of care for WGBD within European Haemophilia Treatment and Comprehensive Care Centres (HTC/CCCs).MethodsThe co‐creation process, supported by the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders, consisted of four multidisciplinary meetings with health care providers (HCPs) experienced in WGBD care, and European Haemophilia Consortium representatives, combined with broad patient and HCP consultations in the European haemophilia community. Relevant medical societies outside Europe were contacted for confirmation.ResultsWe developed ten PoC for WGBD, stressing the importance and benefits of a centralized, multidisciplinary, comprehensive, family‐centred approach to support and manage WGBD during all life stages. These PoC emphasise the right to equitable access and quality of care for all people with BDs, irrespective of gender. Multiple medical societies outside Europe also confirmed their support for endorsement.ConclusionsTen PoC for WGBD evolved from an iterative process among stakeholders, supported by relevant medical societies worldwide. These PoC can serve as a benchmark for diagnosis and comprehensive multidisciplinary management of WGBD, and improve awareness of their unique challenges. They offer a framework to guide HTC/CCCs in providing equitable care for all WGBD, both in their own services and in other healthcare settings. Implementation of these principles aims to positively impact the health, wellbeing and quality of life for WGBD.

Published: August 2021

AbstractIntroductionWhile it has been shown that haemophilia patients receiving care at Haemophilia Treatment Centres (HTCs) experience decreased morbidity and mortality, little research has been done on the outcomes of patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD).AimTo compare the quality of periprocedural care received by patients with VWD at HTCs and non‐HTCs.MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review on all adult VWD patients undergoing an invasive procedure from 2015 to 2017. Quality of periprocedural care was measured using the following surrogate outcomes: periprocedural VWD‐specific therapy use per 2007 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) guidelines, procedural estimated blood loss (EBL), and post‐procedure bleeding. Comparisons were performed according to the setting of care at the time of the invasive procedure, HTC versus non‐HTC.ResultsThere were 668 invasive procedures performed on 305 patients, of which 8.2% were HTC cases. Non‐type 1 VWD was more likely in HTC cases. VWD‐specific therapy was used per NHLBI guidelines in 100% of HTC cases compared with 10.6% of non‐HTC cases. Procedural EBL > = 100 ml was more likely to occur in HTC differences cases (OR = 2.34; 95% CI, 1.05 to 5.25). There was no difference in post‐procedure bleeding between the two groups (OR = 1.26, 95% CI, .20‐ 7.86).ConclusionDespite widespread periprocedural use of VWD‐specific therapy outside established guidelines at non‐HTCs, there was no difference in periprocedural bleeding. Possible explanations include diagnostic error, in disease severity and procedure types, and dataset limitations. Additional studies are needed to investigate this further and compare other patient care outcomes between HTCs and non‐HTCs.
Rural out‐migration as a coping strategy in the drought‐prone areas of Rarh region of Eastern India
Authors: Debnath Manoj , Kumar Nayak Debendra 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe present study in the Rarh region (a region between Chota Nagpur Plateau and the Ganges Delta) of West Bengal analyses the impact of drought on the rural households in the eastern India villages and investigates the importance of temporary migration as a coping strategy in times of drought. As many as 82 of a total of 190 households were randomly selected for collection of data with the help of a structured household schedule. The study found that the propensity of male out‐migration increased due to regular droughts in the region. Severe drought conditions coupled with crop failure made most marginal and small landholding households vulnerable to food insecurity due to poor adaptive capacity and resilience. The majority of the landholding farmers under such conditions resort to seasonal out‐migration to sustain themselves. Temporary migration is a coping strategy for the survival of rural households during the drought periods.
