AbstractFlowering plants can be introduced in modern agroecosystems to support resident natural enemies in the context of Conservation Biological Control (CBC). Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) (Polygonales: Polygonaceae) has been shown to enhance the longevity of several parasitoids through the provision of high quality and easily accessible floral nectar. Yet floral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by microbes which can change nectar chemistry with consequences for parasitoids. Nonetheless, how bacteria associated with buckwheat floral nectar affect parasitoid performance is not known. In this study, adult females of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) and Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), two parasitoids of Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), were provided with synthetic nectar fermented by 14 bacterial isolates originating from buckwheat nectar. We recorded the effect of bacterial fermentation on female longevity and nectar chemistry. In the case of T. basalis, females consuming nectar fermented by Bacillus sp., Brevibacillus sp., Brevibacterium frigoritolerans, Saccharibacillus endophyticus, and Terribacillus saccharophilus significantly enhanced their longevity compared with females fed with non‐fermented nectar. For O. telenomicida, enhanced longevity was recorded only in the case of B. frigoritolerans and Pantoea dispersa. For both parasitoids, no negative effects due to bacterial fermentation of nectar were recorded. Chemical investigations of bacteria‐fermented nectars revealed an increased diversity in the composition of sugars and sugar alcohols, whereas non‐fermented nectar only contained sucrose. Our findings show that nectar‐inhabiting bacteria are important “hidden players” in the interactions between flowers and parasitoids, an indication that a better understanding of plant–microbe–insect interactions could improve CBC programmes.
Slaughterhouse tours in Denmark: Affective nationalism in the making of citizen‐consumers and the industrial slaughter of happy pigs
Authors: Mc Loughlin Eimear 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article examines how tours of an industrial pig slaughterhouse reinforce the continued enfoldment of Danish pigs into the fabrication of Danish national identity, an enfoldment that underpins the formulation of subjects, human as well as more‐than‐human. A discourse analysis that weaves ethnographic moments from the tours and tour narratives along with historical and literary influences on Danish national identity and current debates on “Danishness” explores how narrativizing industrial slaughter is a means of formulating subjects that are sustained by agricultural histories, existential texts, and fairy tales. Through “humanizing” slaughterhouse conditions, tour guides are performing a kind of affective and pedagogical labor that produces modernist subjects, from the citizen‐consumer to that of the happy pig. In consuming happy Danish pigs, citizen‐consumers consolidate what it means to be Danish as they tacitly accept the industrial sacrifice of pigs, whose lives are worthy of living but crucially, also, worthy of taking. This work demonstrates how a multispecies awareness can enrich our understanding of the complex, unstable, and inseparable emergence of value production, nationhood, and capitalist subjects.

AimsAllogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) is a vital treatment for various paediatric malignant and nonmalignant diseases. The conditioning treatment before allo‐HSCT is crucial for successful engraftment. Treosulfan, a cytotoxic prodrug, has gained popularity due to its lower toxicity compared to traditional alkylating agents used for conditioning treatment.MethodsWe investigated the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of treosulfan in paediatric patients, in a substudy pooling from 2 multicentre phase 2 clinical trials. A total of 83 children with malignant and nonmalignant diseases received treosulfan‐based conditioning. Treosulfan exposure and its relationship with clinical outcomes, including survival, graft failure and graft‐vs.‐host disease, were investigated.ResultsOur findings reveal no significant association between treosulfan exposure and the key clinical outcomes or toxicity (P‐values between .22 and .99), if the dosing is based on the approved product information.ConclusionThese findings suggest that treosulfan exposure after standardized body surface area‐based dosing is appropriate in paediatric allo‐HSCT.
Children's evaluations of interracial peer inclusion and exclusion: The role of intimacy
Authors: Luken Raz Kate , Kaufman Elise M. , Killen Melanie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe present study investigated how Black and White American children, ages 6 to 9.5 years and 9.5 to 12 years (N = 219, MAge = 9.18 years, SDAge = 1.90; 51% female) evaluated vignettes in which peers included a same‐ or cross‐race peer in a high‐intimacy or low‐intimacy context. These data were collected from 2021 to 2022. Children expected characters to be less likely to include cross‐race peers in high‐ than low‐intimacy contexts. They also evaluated cross‐race exclusion more negatively in high‐ and low‐intimacy contexts. Black participants evaluated cross‐race exclusion more negatively than did White participants. Older participants were more likely to personally include a cross‐race peer. This study is a first step toward understanding the role of intimacy in cross‐race peer relationships.
The Voices of Minor Children of Parents With a Mental Illness or Addiction: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis
Authors: Van Bergen Lena , Vandenbroeck Michel , Vandevelde Stijn , Roose Rudi 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis qualitative evidence synthesis aims to show how the agency and voices of minor children of parents with a mental illness (COPMI) or with an addiction (COPA) are represented in existing qualitative research. A thematic analysis was conducted to analyse the parts of the articles reporting on the voices of COPMI/COPA themselves (e.g., through interviews with them). Special attention was given to how the authors of the different articles represented children's agency and amplified their voices. The four themes found were secrecy and privacy, lack of information, fear and worry and informal care. Thus, these are the topics most commonly discussed by COPMI and COPA themselves. They both spoke of themselves as victims and as agents, and these two were strongly intertwined in their descriptions of their experiences and situations. The most important recommendation for policy, practice and research based on these results is that it is important to listen to what minor COPMI/COPA have to say about their own situation and see them not only as a victim of this situation but also as an agent.
An Example of Gender Construction of Children From Different Socio‐Economic Levels Through the Phenomenon of Parenting
Authors: Kurt Şerife Hülya 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis study examined the transmission of gender within the family through perceptions of parenting in low‐ and middle‐income families. Phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Participants were determined by criterion sampling method. Data were collected from 60 participants, including 20 families (mother–father–child) representing low (10 families) and middle (10 families) socio‐economic levels. The study reveals that there is a need for social intervention in both socio‐economic contexts. The findings of the study showed that the gendered interactions of parents living in both socio‐economic contexts within the family had effects on children's perceptions and experiences. In the study, parents in both socio‐economic contexts characterized motherhood as sacrifice, caregiving, and fertility and fatherhood as authority, power, income, and security provider. Children, on the other hand, defined motherhood as providing care, fertility, and being responsible for household chores and fatherhood as providing income, meeting needs, and having a profession. A striking result of the study is that although both parents were employed, children preferred to use expressions related to the fathers' professional life while defining parenthood.

AbstractHabitat loss can lead to biotic homogenization (decrease in β diversity) or differentiation (increase in β diversity) of biological communities. However, it is unclear which of these ecological processes predominates in human‐modified landscapes. We used data on vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants to quantify β diversity based on species occurrence and abundance among communities in 1367 landscapes with varying amounts of habitat (<30%, 30−60%, or >60% of forest cover) throughout the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Decreases in habitat amount below 30% led to increased compositional similarity of vertebrate and invertebrate communities, which may indicate a process of biotic homogenization throughout the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. No pattern was detected in plant communities. We found that habitat loss was associated with a deterministic increase in faunal community similarity, which is consistent with a selected subset of species being capable of thriving in human‐modified landscapes. The lack of pattern found in plants was consistent with known variation between taxa in community responses to habitat amount. Brazilian legislation requiring the preservation of 20% of Atlantic Forest native vegetation may be insufficient to prevent the biotic homogenization of faunal communities. Our results highlight the importance of preserving large amounts of habitat, providing source areas for the recolonization of deforested landscapes, and avoiding large‐scale impacts of homogenization of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Parenting Styles and Adolescent Misbehavior
Authors: Wu Guansheng , Su Yaqin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAdolescence is a crucial period for character development and is particularly susceptible to parental influence due to the brain's malleability. This paper examines whether parenting styles can have a significant impact on adolescent misbehaviors such as disobedience and aggression. The results show that, in comparison with neglectful parenting – characterized by low levels of demandingness and responsiveness – authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles were associated with a significant reduction in behavioral issues among adolescents. The beneficial impact of authoritative parenting, marked by high demandingness and responsiveness, was particularly strong. In contrast, authoritarian parenting (high demandingness but low responsiveness) and permissive parenting (high responsiveness but low demandingness) were less effective in reducing behavioral issues. Our results remained robust after addressing potential issues of reverse causality, omitted variable bias, and selective sorting between teachers and students. The results also show that teachers and their interactions with parents played an important role in mitigating the adverse effects of neglectful parenting. Overall, our findings suggest that adopting parenting styles that strike a balance between discipline and care can strongly foster positive behaviors in adolescents.

Published: November 2024

AbstractAimTo describe the experiences of children with self‐injurious behavior (SIB) through the lens of family caregivers to inform the development of relevant interventions.MethodSIB in children with autism spectrum disorder is challenging to understand and manage. Furthermore, our understanding of the impact of SIB on families is limited. We performed an exploratory qualitative study using interpretive description methodology. Semi‐structured one‐on‐one interviews were conducted as the primary data collection technique. A purposive convenience sampling technique was used for the recruitment of participants through several clinics at one institution. Enrollment continued until 12 participants were recruited, at which time consensus was reached by the study team that sufficient data had been obtained to develop a depth of understanding of key elements of the caregiver perspective. Data were then analysed using a thematic analysis approach to develop overarching themes.ResultsThree main themes were developed from the analysis of the data: the pervasive impact of SIB; lack of resources to turn toward; and the presence of silver linings. Participants described in some detail the many elements of their children's condition that led to a pervasive impact far beyond the child themselves. This experience was augmented by stigma and the lack of available resources. Despite these challenges, there was a strong sense of resilience and hope.InterpretationOur study provides insights into the patterns of experiences of family caregivers of children with SIB. These results have far‐reaching implications ranging from the clinical need for enhanced care and collaboration with affected families, the call for researchers to further develop effective treatments, and lastly highlighting the need to work with policymakers to advocate for resources to support children with SIB and their families.
Technology affordances, actualisation and adaptation for heritage preservation: A case study of Beijing's Palace Museum
Authors: Zhang Dan , Pan Shan L. , Guo Zixiu 
Published: November 2024

AbstractMuseums are vital cultural and educational institutions that play a key role in heritage preservation. Despite the importance of museums, the interaction between these conventional institutions and advanced technologies remains relatively underexplored in information systems (IS) research. Adopting affordance‐actualisation (A–A) theory as the theoretical lens, we conducted an in‐depth case study of the Palace Museum in Beijing, China, to investigate its implementation of evolving IS for heritage preservation. We identify three key affordances of these systems and develop a conceptual model illustrating the process of actualising these affordances. Our model extends A–A theory by adding an adaptation phase, wherein the museum responds to the outcomes of the actualisation process by amplifying the achieved outcomes and altering the unintended ones. Additionally, we uncover a hierarchical structure among these affordances, revealing a progressive pattern of actualisation specific to heritage preservation in museums. This research contributes to the literature on A–A theory, heritage preservation in museums, and IS implementation. Furthermore, it provides guidance for practitioners, particularly those in museum contexts, in effectively implementing IS for heritage preservation.
Districting in last‐mile delivery with stochastic customers

Published: November 2024

AbstractDue to the peculiarities of city streets, last‐mile logistics is typically organized using territory‐based routing approaches, which divide the city into a set of districts and assign drivers to deliver in one or more of them. This allows drivers to develop a deep understanding of the characteristics of each district, and clients benefit from consistent service. However, these advantages must be carefully weighed against the flexibility of daily customer assignments, which enable planners to maximize driver utilization and minimize routing costs. In this paper, we propose a new holistic framework for defining districts, considering the impact on the quality of logistics decisions and fleet capacity usage. Specifically, we address how districting decisions affect the demand distribution within each district. Computational experiments on both simulated and realistic instances demonstrated a significant reduction in costs compared to benchmark techniques.
Field Testing of 2‐Pentylfuran as a Behavioural Control Tool for Spotted‐Wing Drosophila in Raspberries

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTSpotted‐wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is a major pest of various soft‐skinned fruit crops worldwide. We investigated an alternative approach to traditional insecticides to manage SWD. Previously, we have shown that 2‐pentylfuran (2pf) reduced oviposition in raspberries in laboratory and small‐scale field studies. Here, we further investigated the potential of 2pf as a management tool for SWD under more realistic field conditions. We tested the efficacy of 2pf under open field conditions in 2019 and 2020 using isolated plots of raspberries. For the two 2019 field trials, we used single raspberry fruiting inflorescences and deployed 2pf using a sachet for 48 h and 6 days, respectively, and assessed SWD infestation. We did not find any significant differences in SWD infestation in the 48 h trial but found noticeable reductions when 2pf was deployed for 6 days. In 2020, we randomly assigned treatments to an entire small, research planting of raspberries with different doses of 2pf (low, medium, and high) for both the summer and fall crops and recorded infestations. The low and medium doses of 2pf resulted in significant reductions in SWD infestation in field plantings when SWD densities were low (summer crop), but only the high dose reduced infestations when SWD pressure was high in the fall crop. Our study shows that 2pf has potential as a management tool for SWD under field conditions using a highly susceptible crop, but its effectiveness may vary depending on 2pf release rates and SWD abundance. Future studies are needed to test 2pf in combination with other repellents or with targeted insecticides.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveComputer‐aided implant placement (CAIP) offers improved accuracy and reduced invasiveness. However, traditional static CAIP (sCAIP) protocols for complete‐arch restorations often involve multiple guides and clinical steps, increasing the risk of soft tissue trauma and procedural complexity. This article introduces the B‐guide technique, which integrates implant placement and interim prosthesis delivery into a single device to simplify the procedure and minimize tissue damage.Clinical ConsiderationsThe B‐guide combines the implant osteotomy and placement guide with an abutment placement and prosthesis pick‐up mechanism. The guide remains in place post‐implantation, allowing immediate prosthesis conversion. A 55‐year‐old female patient underwent complete‐arch rehabilitation using the B‐guide, enabling immediate implant placement and loading. The B‐guide minimized soft tissue trauma and eliminated the need for multiple guides, significantly reducing treatment complexity and time.ConclusionsThe B‐guide simplifies procedures and improves predictability compared with traditional systems by integrating prosthetic adaptation and implant placement, reducing cumulative errors. However, its success is heavily reliant on the operator's expertise, especially in preoperative planning and design.Clinical SignificanceBy integrating implant and prosthesis placement into a single guide, the B‐guide reduces surgical complexity, minimizes trauma, and enhances prosthetic outcomes, improving clinical efficiency.

ABSTRACTThe WHO recommends hepatitis B birth‐dose vaccination (HepB‐BD), but it is not routinely given in most sub‐Saharan African countries. We aimed to assess the immunogenicity of HepB‐BD in addition to the existing hepatitis B vaccine (HepB3) schedule in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo among HBV‐unexposed and HBV‐exposed infants. Using an open‐label, randomised, controlled design, HBV‐unexposed infants were randomised (1:1) to receive the standard HepB3 vaccine series (group U3), or to receive HepB‐BD in addition to HepB3 (group U4). A supplemental cohort of HBV‐exposed infants (group E4) received HepB‐BD and HepB3. We compared the proportion of infants with protective antibodies against HBV (HBV surface antibody ≥ 10 mIU/mL) between groups U3 and U4 and groups U4 and E4 at 12 months of age. Between August 20 and October 9, 2019, we enrolled 281 mother/infant dyads; 88 (31.3%) returned at 12 months. Most infants had protective antibodies against HBV at 12 months: 92.9% (75.7%–98.2%) in group U3, 85.7% (67.5%–94.5%) in group U4 and 96.9% (95% CI: 81.2%–99.6%) in group E4. Trends held in estimates adjusted for loss‐to‐follow‐up (LTFU) and baseline imbalance across groups. In this first randomised trial assessing the addition of HepB‐BD to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule in SSA, we found that HBV‐unexposed infants who received the 3‐dose and 4‐dose vaccine series had similar immunogenicity against HBV at 12 months. A high proportion of infants, and notably HBV‐exposed infants, had protective antibodies. Though extrapolation of findings may be limited by LTFU, this study adds real‐world evidence regarding HepB‐BD implementation in sub‐Saharan Africa.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03897946
