“If John Dewey Calls, Tell Him Things Didn’t Work Out”: 1970s Activists Use History to Explain the “Failure” of Public Schooling in Australia
Authors: Proctor Helen 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis essay considers the usefulness of history of education, first, through the history of Australian university-based teacher education and then through the history of how, in the postwar period of schooling expansion, the provision of public schooling was transformed discursively from a policy solution into a policy problem—with opposing viewpoints from “left” and “right” projected through the print media. With a particular focus on “conservative” critique, two contrasting snapshots are presented of public writing from the 1970s-1980s to illustrate how, by this period, the focus of public debate about education policy in Australia was no longer on the principles and logistics of widening access, but on questioning the trustworthiness of the schools themselves—what and how they were teaching the nation’s children. The essay concludes by proposing that history itself is constantly invoked in debates about schooling by people who are trying to explain what needs to be changed or preserved.

AbstractEarly childhood growth is associated with cognitive function. However, the independent associations of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) with cognitive function are not well understood. We investigated associations of FM and FFM at birth and 0–5 years accretion with cognitive function at 10 years. Healthy-term newborns were enrolled in this cohort. FM and FFM were measured at birth, 1·5, 2·5, 3·5, 4·5 and 6 months and 4 and 5 years. Cognitive function was assessed using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) at 10 years. FM and FFM accretions were computed using statistically independent conditional accretion from 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months, 6 months to 4 years and 4 to 5 years. Multiple linear regression was used to assess associations. At the 10-year follow-up, we assessed 318 children with a mean (sd) age of 9·8 (1·0) years. A 1 sd higher birth FFM was associated with a 0·14 sd (95 % CI 0·01, 0·28) higher PPVT at 10 years. FFM accretion from 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 months was associated with PPVT at 10 years: β = 0·5 sd (95 % CI 0·08, 0·93) and β = −0·48 sd (95 % CI −0·90, −0·07, respectively. FFM accretion after 6 months showed no association with PPVT. Neither FM at birth nor 0–5 years accretion showed an association with PPVT. Overall, birth FFM, but not FM, was associated with cognitive function at 10 years, while the association of FFM accretion and cognitive function varied across distinct developmental stages in infancy. The mechanisms underlying this varying association between body composition and cognitive function need further investigation.
Talking Lions
Authors: Bifford Darren , Moser Robbie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article is an appreciative exegesis of Steven Burns's article “If a Lion Could Talk.” In his essay, Burns clarifies Ludwig Wittgenstein's enigmatic remark “If a lion could talk, we wouldn't be able to understand him” by locating it within the broader context of Wittgenstein's work in the philosophy of psychology. We read Burns's interpretation of the remark as opening core Wittgensteinian issues of meaning and (mis)understanding, and we situate it within the context of the work of Burns's teacher, Peter Winch. Our discussion is a close exegesis of the immediate content of the lion remark and it highlights connections to Wittgenstein's remarks on James George Frazer's The Golden Bough. We show how Burns and Winch employ Wittgenstein's methods of dissolving philosophical puzzles by drawing attention to intermediate familiar cases. We conclude with some impressionistic remarks about Socrates in a short discussion of the difficulty of the philosophical technique and activity Burns demonstrates and recommends.
Understanding Stalin’s Terror against Western Minorities: The National Operations of the NKVD in Contemporary Academic Research
Authors: Kotliartchouk Andrej 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Soviet mass operations against a number of ethnic minorities were one of the most large-scale state-run terror campaigns in European history. The partial opening up of the formerly closed Soviet archives has had an enormous impact on the study of the Great Terror and its most secret part, ‘the national operations of the NKVD’ implemented in July 1937 to November 1938. The aim of this review is threefold. The first is to discuss the main approaches in the recent studies of the national operations of the NKVD with respect to the following topics: the role of Stalin in the dramatic turn of nationalities politics, the intent, implementation, and magnitude of the national operations; and dimensions for further research. The second aim is to examine contemporary academic discussions from the perspectives of the research project ‘Swedes, emotions, and moral diplomacy in the Great Terror. Foreign Office’s rescue operation in the Soviet Union, 1937–38’, in which the author took part. The third aim is to focus on the importance of the local context when accessing both the motives and the implementations of the national operations.
Veterinary Collaboration and Modernization in the French Animal By-Products Industry, 1940–1944
Authors: Denton Chad B. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Scholars studying the Second World War animal by-products industry have underestimated the systematic nature and broad scope of German intervention. This article examines how the close co-operation between French and German veterinarians, reflecting a shared professional interest in animal slaughter and disease control, facilitated the large-scale restructuring and modernization of French carcass disposal under Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1944. Animal by-products were an important resource for Germany’s war effort. Drawing on the previously unexploited papers of Wehrmacht veterinarian Conrad Herbig and the archives of the Vichy Salvage Service, I argue that German veterinary officers, in collaboration with their French counterparts, leveraged their expertise to impose a new vision of hygienic and efficient rendering practices in France. Herbig’s experiences in the Indre-et-Loire department reveal how the Nazi occupation authorities harnessed French material and institutional resources to direct French hides, fats, and bones towards German military production, even as logistical constraints limited their ambitions. Franco-German veterinary collaboration under Vichy represented an intensification of long-term trends towards professionalization, industrial concentration, and hygienic regulation in the French meat industry. This microhistorical case-study thus sheds new light on the dynamics of the occupation and its post-war impact on French agriculture and food production.

Abstract
Knowledge of Ascophyllum nodosum extracts (ANEs) is still limited to avocado ‘Hass’ in the tropics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two ANEs application methods (foliar v. drench) at four different doses (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 ml/l) on the physiological response of three different avocado stages (seedlings and young and adult trees). Foliar or drench ANEs applications were performed monthly for all plants for 16 weeks. The evaluated variables were recorded at 4 and 20 weeks after the start of treatment (WAT). The results showed that ANEs can be applied to the drench or foliar method at doses ≥5 ml/l in the different growth stages evaluated. In seedlings, foliar or drench ANEs applications increased total dry weight (34.5 and 57.9 g for 0 and ≥5 ml/l, respectively) and stomatal conductance (gs) (380 and 205 mmol/m2s for 0 and ≥5 ml/l, respectively) at 20 WAT. In young trees, both application methods also improved growing index (88.6 and 102 cm for 0 and ≥5 ml/l, respectively) and gs (516 and 636 mmol/m2s for 0 and ≥5 ml/l, respectively) at the last sampling point. Adult trees showed that foliar or drench applications at higher doses also caused an increase in fruit yield (3.4 and 8.7 kg/tree for 0 and ≥5 ml/l, respectively) at 20 WAT. In conclusion, the use of foliar and soil ANEs applications at higher doses (≥5 ml/l) can be considered for integrated crop management of ‘Hass’ avocado.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundMental disorders and physical-health conditions frequently co-occur, impacting treatment outcomes. While most prior research has focused on single pairs of mental disorders and physical-health conditions, this study explores broader associations between multiple mental disorders and physical-health conditions.MethodsUsing the Norwegian primary-care register, this population-based cohort study encompassed all 2 203 553 patients born in Norway from January 1945 through December 1984, who were full-time residents from January 2006 until December 2019 (14 years; 363 million person-months). Associations between seven mental disorders (sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, acute stress reaction, substance-use disorders, phobia/compulsive disorder, psychosis) and 16 physical-health conditions were examined, diagnosed according to the International Classification of Primary Care.ResultsOf 112 mental-disorder/physical-health condition pairs, 96% of associations yielded positive and significant ORs, averaging 1.41 and ranging from 1.05 (99.99% CI 1.00–1.09) to 2.38 (99.99% CI 2.30–2.46). Across 14 years, every mental disorder was associated with multiple different physical-health conditions. Across 363 million person-months, having any mental disorder was associated with increased subsequent risk of all physical-health conditions (HRs:1.40 [99.99% CI 1.35–1.45] to 2.85 [99.99% CI 2.81–2.89]) and vice versa (HRs:1.56 [99.99% CI 1.54–1.59] to 3.56 [99.99% CI 3.54–3.58]). Associations were observed in both sexes, across age groups, and among patients with and without university education.ConclusionsThe breadth of associations between virtually every mental disorder and physical-health condition among patients treated in primary care underscores a need for integrated mental and physical healthcare policy and practice. This remarkable breadth also calls for research into etiological factors and underlying mechanisms that can explain it.

AbstractIntroductionShort-term exposure to antipsychotics has proven to be beneficial. However, naturalistic studies are lacking regarding the long-term use of antipsychotics. This study aimed to investigate changes in use of antipsychotics over 20 years after a first-episode schizophrenia.MethodsThis study is part of the Danish OPUS trial (1998–2000), including 496 participants with first-episode schizophrenia. Participants were reassessed four times over 20 years. The main outcomes were days on medication, redeemed prescriptions of clozapine, psychiatric hospitalizations, and employment.ResultsAt the 20-year follow-up, an attrition of 71% was detected. In total, 143 out of 496 participated, with 36% (n = 51) in remission-of-psychotic-symptoms-off-medication. The lowest number of days on medication (mean [s.d.], 339 [538] days) was observed in this group over 20 years. Register data on redeemed antipsychotics were available for all trial participants (n = 416). Individuals in treatment with antipsychotics (n = 120) at the 20-year follow-up had spent significantly more days in treatment (5405 [1857] v. 1434 [1819] mean days, p = 0.00) and more had ever redeemed a prescription of clozapine (25% v. 7.8%, p = 0.00) than individuals who had discontinued antipsychotics (n = 296). Further, discontinuers had significantly higher employment at the 20-year follow-up (28.4% v. 12.5%, p = 0.00).ConclusionIn a cohort of individuals with first-episode schizophrenia, 36% were in remission-of-psychotic-symptoms-off-medication. However, high attrition was detected, potentially affecting study results by inflating results from individuals with favorable outcomes. From register data, free from attrition, approximately 30% were in treatment with antipsychotics, and 70% had discontinued antipsychotics. Individuals in treatment had the least favorable outcomes, implying greater illness severity.

Abstract
Residual blood specimens provide a sample repository that could be analyzed to estimate and track changes in seroprevalence with fewer resources than household-based surveys. We conducted parallel facility and community-based cross-sectional serological surveys in two districts in India, Kanpur Nagar District, Uttar Pradesh, and Palghar District, Maharashtra, before and after a measles-rubella supplemental immunization activity (MR-SIA) from 2018 to 2019. Anonymized residual specimens from children 9 months to younger than 15 years of age were collected from public and private diagnostic laboratories and public hospitals and tested for IgG antibodies to measles and rubella viruses. Significant increases in seroprevalence were observed following the MR SIA using the facility-based specimens. Younger children whose specimens were tested at a public facility in Kanpur Nagar District had significantly lower rubella seroprevalence prior to the SIA compared to those attending a private hospital, but this difference was not observed following the SIA. Similar increases in rubella seroprevalence were observed in facility-based and community-based serosurveys following the MR SIA, but trends in measles seroprevalence were inconsistent between the two specimen sources. Despite challenges with representativeness and limited metadata, residual specimens can be useful in estimating seroprevalence and assessing trends through facility-based sentinel surveillance.
An exceptional anomaly of the coronary venous drainage: anatomic description
Authors: Hily Manon , Bessières Bettina , Bonnet Damien , Houyel Lucile 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBackground:Anomalies of the coronary sinus are rare in the general population but are more frequent in patients with congenital heart defects. Whatever the cardiac anatomy, the coronary sinus is invariably located in the left atrioventricular sulcus, inferior to the wall of the morphologically left atrium.Methods:A complete morphological examination of a fetal cardiac specimen of the M3C collection, according to segmental analysis, was performed by two observers.Results:We report here for the first time a cardiac specimen with a venous channel receiving the majority of coronary veins, located in the right atrioventricular sulcus and therefore inferior to the wall of the morphologically right atrium, in a fetal cardiac specimen with congenitally corrected transposition in situs solitus. In addition, the anatomy of the venous drainage of the heart was mirror-imaged to that observed in a normal heart and different compared to that usually observed in congenitally corrected transposition.Conclusion:This very particular anatomy occurring in association with congenitally corrected transposition might be related with an additional disturbance in the laterality pathway.

Published: November 2024

AbstractObjective:The population of adults with single-ventricle congenital heart disease (CHD) is growing. This study explores their lived experiences through an adult developmental psychology framework.Methods:Individuals aged 18 and older with single-ventricle CHD participated in Experience Group sessions and 1:1 interviews. Sessions were transcribed and analysed thematically. Themes were categorized by developmental domains and age group.Results:Of the 29 participants, 18 (62%) were female, 10 (35%) were emerging (18–29 years), 13 (45%) were established (30–45 years), and 6 (21%) were midlife adults (46–60 years). Emerging adults expressed reluctance to initiate romantic relationships and fear of burdening partners, while established adults reported strong relationships with partners deeply involved in caregiving. Emerging adults struggled with finding fulfilling work that meets their health needs, whereas established and midlife adults faced unemployment or early retirement due to health limits. Family dynamics shifted, with established and midlife adults educating their children to become caregivers. Physical limitations and low self-rated health were consistent across life stages, and midlife adults did not worry about traditional chronic conditions. Mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression, persisted across all life stages, but resiliency and positive affect were also evident.Conclusion:Adults with single-ventricle CHD experience developmental milestones differently, indicating the need for early anticipatory guidance in these domains to achieve optimal outcomes in adulthood.

Published: November 2024

AbstractObjective:Monitoring cerebral and renal near-infrared spectroscopy for regional venous oxygenation is a common practice in the postoperative care of neonates recovering from surgery for CHD. In this study, we aimed to test the feasibility of using this technology for monitoring changes in splanchnic perfusion during feeds in infants recovering from cardiac surgery.Methods:We monitored renal and splanchnic near-infrared spectroscopy in 29 neonates once recovered from the critical postoperative state and tolerating full enteral nutrition. Infants were tested over 3 feeds for splanchnic regional oxygenation (rO2), arterial to splanchnic saturation difference and splanchnic to renal regional oxygenation ratio.Result:Splanchnic regional oxygenation data were obtained with no failure or interruptions. Interclass correlation for agreement between measurements suggested good repeatability: 0.84 at baseline and 0.82 at end of feed. Infants with physiologic repair (n = 19) showed a trend towards increased splanchnic regional oxygenation at the end of feeds and were more likely to achieve regional oxygenation > 50% compared to infants with shunt-dependent circulation (n = 10, p = 0.02). Calculating AVO2 and regional oxygenation index did not result in improved test sensitivity.Conclusion:Monitoring splanchnic regional oxygenation during feeds for infants recovering from congenital heart surgery is feasible and reliable. These results suggest that near-infrared spectroscopy could be further studied as a tool for bedside monitoring to assist in feeding management and prevention of necrotising enterocolitis in this sensitive patient population.
Effects of vegetative ground cover on seedling establishment of the invasive liana old man’s beard (Clematis vitalba)

AbstractOpportunistic use of limited resources is often attributed to invasive species, and as a mature vine, old man’s beard (Clematis vitalba L.) is known to have devastating negative impacts on the trees it colonizes. No previous experimental studies have been published on how easily C. vitalba seedlings can colonize ground covered by other established vegetation. This species has had an increasing presence in forestry blocks and riparian zones in New Zealand, both of which usually maintain some grass cover. To determine the importance of vegetative ground cover for preventing ingress of new C. vitalba plants, this study looked at seedling emergence through the soil and establishment of C. vitalba within four different levels of grassy cover at three sites: (1) ground kept bare after vegetation removal; (2) ground bare at C. vitalba seed sowing, but thereafter allowed to recover; (3) vegetative cover trimmed to 4 cm high at C. vitalba sowing, and then allowed to recover; and (4) unmanaged vegetation. At the highest level of vegetation density (unmanaged vegetation), no C. vitalba seedlings were ever detected throughout a 1-yr monitoring period. At lower ground cover densities, poor seedling emergence was observed, with a maximum of 36% of seeds sown in bare plots producing a seedling. Also, seedlings did not survive past 1 yr, except in bare plots or in plots where vegetation grew sparsely. However, seedlings that did survive began producing multiple stems within 6 mo of emergence. These results indicate that obstacles to seedling emergence and poor development at the young seedling stage when vegetative cover is dense severely limit C. vitalba’s chances to invade new sites via seed. Yet some successful seedling recruitment does occur due to the magnitude of the propagule pressure on the landscape and the difficulty of maintaining high-density ground cover across large areas throughout the year.
