Aristotle’s Nature-Bound Theology in Metaphysics Λ
Authors: Meister Samuel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In Metaphysics Λ, Aristotle appeals to the prime mover: an unmoved mover that is the first moving cause of the world. Elsewhere, he calls the science concerned with the prime mover ‘theology’ (Meta. E.1, 1026a19). But what is the point of this science? On a common view, its purpose is to give an account of the prime mover itself, and especially to prove its existence. By contrast, I argue that Aristotle’s theology in Metaphysics Λ is ‘nature-bound’: it ultimately aims at explaining facts about the perceptible world, in particular the motion of heavenly bodies and the cycle of generation of perishable substances.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study examines mass media as an intermediary between individuals and public institutions. The goals are to determine why people trust and distrust mass media and predict their outcomes. Analysis, synthesis, historical analysis, classification and typologization of system analysis, generalization, and comparison were used to complete the study and complete the tasks. The study examines media influence under the assumption that free media promotes healthy democracy in a changing society. Media activity is focused on audience socio-political engagement. A rise in information flow, and most importantly, a lack of critical understanding and filtering by the audience, can harm the opposition, which is a sign of democratic weakness.
Democracy and Crime in Latin America

Abstract
Do firm stances against crime, up to a level at which they disregard Human Rights, overflow the sphere of crime control and associate with a preference against democracy? This study determines whether victimization of crime encourages support for the death penalty, the desire to own a firearm, and broader authoritarian political attitudes. The hypothesis is tested in Latin America using the LAPOP (2018/2019) database in 17 countries. Three sets of indicators are observed in the logistic models: a) dependent variables (desire to own a firearm, support for the death penalty, perception of democracy as the best form of government, support for a coup in the case of high crime, satisfaction with democracy, and trust in institutions); b) independent variables (victimization by crime); and c) control variables (waiting time for police response, and sociodemographic factors). Although no significant effects were found on democracy as the best form of government, victimization increases the likelihood of wanting a firearm, favoring the death penalty, and supporting coups, while it reduces the satisfaction with democracy and trust in institutions. Therefore, the results confirm that crime not only favors public support for harsh measures to control it but also weakens democracy and its institutions.
Writing Indigenousness
Authors: Wilke Carsten 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
When Central European Jews underwent massive urbanization during the nineteenth century, their German-language narrative fiction retold this experience in a historical garb. Based on six literary examples, this article argues that during the 1850s, Jewish writing radically changed from an outsider to an insider perspective, while nonetheless emphasizing the precarious position of Jews in the city. The first three examples, The Rabbi of Bacharach (c. 1825) by Heinrich Heine, “Letters and Walks of a Jewish Student” (1850) by Ludwig Philippson, and “Franzefuß” (1855) by Leopold Kompert, retrospectively evoke the anguish of Jewish migrants in the urban labyrinth. Three later novels, The Girls of Khaybar (1859) by Salomon Wassermann, The Y Aguilar Family (1873) by Markus Lehmann, and Jettchen Gebert (1906) by Georg Hermann, imagine Jewish elite families rooted in idyllic cityscapes of the Arabian, Spanish, and German historical pasts, where they must confront the threat of barbarous invaders.
Combining Geo-Archaeology and Historical Nile Records to Understand Predynastic Settlement Patterns in the Region of the Nile’s First Cataract, Egypt
Authors: Gatto Maria Carmela , Siegel Oren 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to contribute new data to understanding early Predynastic settlement patterns in Egypt at the beginning of the state formation process in the 4th millennium bce. It focuses on the early settlements of the First Nile Cataract region. We employ three different datasets to address the issue retrieved from a recent archaeological investigation and drill coring and from Nile records available from archaeological and historical sources. The analysis is performed in a gis-based environment and through inundation modelling. Data suggest early Predynastic settlements at the First Cataract may have been settled all year round. They appear to be deliberately placed above the annual high flood level and have water resources for most of the year. The new geo-archaeological data further suggests that the average high inundation level for the early 4th millennium bce was similar to that documented for the end of the millennium.

Authors: Esce Antoinette R. , Nicholas Robert G. , Syme Noah P. , Olson Garth T. , Boyd Nathan H. 
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) monitoring has become routine in parathyroid surgery to facilitate less invasive techniques to treat hyperparathyroidism. Despite this, little is known about in vivo IOPTH kinetics, which can greatly affect the reliability of its interpretation. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients undergoing routine parathyroidectomy was studied. During each case, IOPTH was measured frequently, during all key perioperative events. Qualitative, univariate, and multivariate analysis was performed to better understand the patterns of in vivo IOPTH kinetics. Results: The IOPTH increased from preoperative baseline in every case, but some patients had a rapid spike after gland manipulation while others had a more gradual increase. The IOPTH peak occurred prior to excision in almost every case. The IOPTH began to fall prior to excision, typically returning to preoperative baseline levels just before excision. The average in vivo half-life of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was 5.2 minutes. Conclusion: There is substantial variation in the in vivo IOPTH kinetics and more research is needed to understand predictors of kinetic patterns and PTH half-life during parathyroidectomy.

Published: November 2024

The major purpose of the present study was to explore higher education students’ perceptions of the causes of their sleep problems. The data were drawn from a previous cross-sectional online survey, from which only the questions relevant to this study were selected, including items on sleep disturbances and their causes. The participants included 1519 full-time students (76% women), aged 18–30 years ( M = 20.9, SD = 2.3); 95.3% were single and studying for a Bachelor’s degree (75.2%) across diverse fields of study. Overall, 30% of the students reported suffering from insomnia, 17.8% met the criteria for clinical insomnia (according to the Insomnia Severity Index), and 12.5% reported being dissatisfied with their sleep. The most significant perceived causes of sleep difficulties were stress (85%), academic problems (67%), and general worries (56.5%). Other causes included affective/love problems (28.4%), family issues (27.5%), changes in sleeping habits (25.9%), financial problems (13.7%), transition to higher education (10.4%), pain (7.1%), and general illness (5.5%). These findings may have important implications for interventions aimed at improving sleep health among higher education students.
Associations of sibling relationship quality and emotion regulation with child functioning in families with parental cancer

Published: November 2024

In families facing parental cancer, children have an increased risk for impaired psychosocial functioning, such as lower quality of life and satisfaction with life, and increased posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). These outcomes are likely affected by both dyadic and individual factors. The aims of the current study were to examine (1) the associations of sibling relationship quality (i.e., warmth and conflict) and emotion regulation problems with child functioning (i.e., quality of life, satisfaction with life, and PTSS) in families facing parental cancer; and (2) whether emotion regulation problems partially or fully mediate these associations. Our sample consisted of 161 children from 82 Dutch families facing parental cancer (84.6% maternal cancer). During home visits, children (mean age 12.1 years; 53.1% girls; 54.4% same-sex sibling pairs) filled out questionnaires about their sibling relationships and their own functioning. Mediation analyses showed no significant direct nor indirect effects of sibling warmth on quality of life, satisfaction with life or PTSS. Significant indirect (but not direct) effects were found for sibling conflict on quality of life and satisfaction with life and on PTSS, through emotion regulation problems. Children experiencing more sibling conflict reported more emotion regulation problems, which were linked to lower quality of life and satisfaction with life and more PTSS. Our study suggests that sibling conflict could be considered a risk factor for child psychosocial functioning in families facing parental cancer. The potentially beneficial effects of sibling warmth were not confirmed by our findings. Limitations and implications of the study and future directions are discussed.

Published: November 2024

Background: Supporting clinical teams to improve care for inpatients with palliative care needs and their carers is a known priority. Patient reported experience measures (PREMs) may assist in improvement work. Evidence about how to collect and feedback PREM data for this population and context is required. Aim: To determine the feasibility of implementing a brief, validated PREM, consideRATE and appraise its acceptability as perceived by inpatients with palliative care needs, their carers and clinicians. Design: A prospective study using: 1) PREM administration, screening log and field note completion; and; 2) a focus group with clinicians. Setting/participants: Eligible participants recruited from three wards (cancer care and internal medicine) of an Australian tertiary metropolitan hospital. Participants included patients screened to have palliative care needs (using the SPICTTM criteria), their carers and multidisciplinary clinicians (including clinical managers). Results: Feasibility: A 71% response rate was achieved ( n = 80 from 112 eligible patients approached). Mean screening time to inform eligible patients for PREM completion was 7.5 min. More than half of eligible participants ( n = 47, 59%) opted for electronic completion of consideRATE and mean completion time was 6.12 min. A third of participants required assistance for PREM completion ( n = 27, 34%). Score distribution varied across response options, albeit with a positive skew towards ‘very good’ and ‘good’. Two thirds of respondents ( n = 50, 62.5%) provided ⩾1 free-text response. Acceptability: Clinicians valued consideRATE data noting feedback needed to be: accessible, supported by free-text and responsive to local contexts. Conclusions: It is feasible to implement consideRATE for inpatients with palliative care needs. Clinicians note consideRATE data is acceptable in informing improvement foci.
Assessing Methods for Adjusting Estimates of Treatment Effectiveness for Patient Nonadherence in the Context of Time-to-Event Outcomes and Health Technology Assessment: A Simulation Study

Published: November 2024

Purpose We aim to assess the performance of methods for adjusting estimates of treatment effectiveness for patient nonadherence in the context of health technology assessment using simulation methods. Methods We simulated trial datasets with nonadherence, prognostic characteristics, and a time-to-event outcome. The simulated scenarios were based on a trial investigating immunosuppressive treatments for improving graft survival in patients who had had a kidney transplant. The primary estimand was the difference in restricted mean survival times in all patients had there been no nonadherence. We compared generalized methods (g-methods; marginal structural model with inverse probability of censoring weighting [IPCW], structural nested failure time model [SNFTM] with g-estimation) and simple methods (intention-to-treat [ITT] analysis, per-protocol [PP] analysis) in 90 scenarios each with 1,900 simulations. The methods’ performance was primarily assessed according to bias. Results In implementation nonadherence scenarios, the average percentage bias was 20% (ranging from 7% to 37%) for IPCW, 20% (8%–38%) for SNFTM, 20% (8%–38%) for PP, and 40% (20%–75%) for ITT. In persistence nonadherence scenarios, the average percentage bias was 26% (9%–36%) for IPCW, 26% (14%–39%) for SNFTM, 26% (14%–36%) for PP, and 47% (16%–72%) for ITT. In initiation nonadherence scenarios, the percentage bias ranged from −29% to 110% for IPCW, −34% to 108% for SNFTM, −32% to 102% for PP, and between −18% and 200% for ITT. Conclusion In this study, g-methods and PP produced more accurate estimates of the treatment effect adjusted for nonadherence than the ITT analysis did. However, considerable bias remained in some scenarios. Highlights Randomized controlled trials are usually analyzed using the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle, which produces a valid estimate of effectiveness relating to the underlying trial, but when patient adherence to medications in the real world is known to differ from that observed in the trial, such estimates are likely to result in a biased representation of real-world effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. Our simulation study demonstrates that generalized methods (g-methods; IPCW, SNFTM) and per-protocol analysis provide more accurate estimates of the treatment effect than the ITT analysis does, when adjustment for nonadherence is required; however, even with these adjustment methods, considerable bias may remain in some scenarios. When real-world adherence is expected to differ from adherence observed in a trial, adjustment methods should be used to provide estimates of real-world effectiveness.
Awareness of Disease Incurability Moderates the Association between Patients’ Health Status and Their Treatment Preferences

Published: November 2024

Background With advancing illness, some patients with heart failure (HF) opt to receive life-extending treatments despite their high costs, while others choose to forgo these treatments, emphasizing cost containment. We examined the association between patients’ health status and their preferences for treatment cost containment versus life extension and whether their patients’ awareness of disease incurability moderated this association. Methods In a prospective cohort of patients ( N = 231) with advanced HF in Singapore, we assessed patients’ awareness of disease incurability, health status, and treatment preferences every 4 mo for up to 4 y (up to 13 surveys). Using random effects multinomial logistic regression models, we assessed whether patients’ awareness of disease incurability moderated the association between their health status and treatment preferences. Results About half of the patients in our study lacked awareness of HF’s incurability. Results from regression analyses showed that patients with better health status, as indicated by lower distress scores (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}]: 0.862 [0.754, 0.985]) and greater physical well-being (1.12 [1.03, 1.21]); and who lacked awareness of their disease’s incurability were more likely to prefer higher cost containment/minimal life extension treatments compared with lower cost containment/maximal life extension. Conclusions This study underscores the significance of patients’ awareness in disease incurability in shaping the relationship between their health status and treatment preferences. Our findings emphasize the need to incorporate illness education during goals-of-care conversations with patients and the importance of revisiting these conversations frequently to accommodate changing treatment preferences. Highlights The health status of patients with advanced heart failure was associated with their treatment preferences. Patients whose health status improved and who lacked awareness of their disease’s incurability were more likely to prefer higher cost containment/minimal life extension treatments.
Achieving Inter-Rater Agreement and Inter-Rater Reliability to Assess Fidelity of an Occupation-Based Coaching (OBC) Clinical Trial Intervention

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Establishing inter-rater agreement and reliability ascertains that multiple raters consistently evaluate observed interventions to ensure that clinical research protocols are delivered as intended by the trial protocol. Purpose: Using the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies, we (a) exemplified the steps to establish inter-rater reliability and inter-rater agreement on the occupation-based coaching Video Evaluation Tool and (b) evaluated best practices that promoted high inter-rater reliability and inter-rater agreement between blinded raters prior to starting a pilot randomized controlled trial. The randomized controlled trial examined the preliminary effectiveness of occupation-based coaching via telehealth for rural families with children living with type 1 diabetes to improve family quality of life, participation, self-efficacy, and child health outcomes. Method: We created a library of 13 occupation-based coaching videos portraying a range of evaluations, scores, and ratings. The inter-rater agreement and reliability on the occupation-based coaching Video Evaluation Tool were established through the iterations of (a) blinded rater training, (b) data collection using the tool, and (c) statistical analysis using Cohen’s kappa and Cronbach’s alpha. Findings: Occurrence and Non-Occurrence Checklist (κ = 0.881, p < 0.001); “Caregiver Talk” and “Interventionist Talk Analysis” (ICC = 0.991–0.999, p < 0.001); Evidence of Independent Capacity Rating (ICC = 0.867 p = 0.006). Conclusion: Strong inter-rater reliability and inter-rater agreement was established by engaging two blinded raters through multifaceted training, integrating real-life clients and contexts into the instrumentation and training, and precisely defined rubric criteria. By employing such practices, high inter-rater reliability and agreement can be achieved in clinical research involving interventions and instruments that are highly subjective and individualized. To ascertain greater scientific confidence in the intervention effect, developing a multidomain fidelity framework and establishing high inter-rater agreement and reliability in the instruments a priori to implementation of clinical trials are necessary.

Published: November 2024

Les conceptualisations de la marque employeur ont contribué à améliorer les pratiques de recrutement pour les employés. La littérature sur la marque employeur ne parvient cependant pas à intégrer une approche expérientielle et à considérer que le travail peut être consommé. Partant de la recommandation de Mosley (2007) d’adopter une approche expérientielle de la marque employeur, cette recherche identifie les dimensions spécifiques de la marque employeur expérientielle dans le domaine de la vente. La situation du commercial est unique de par son impact sur l’expérience du client et la réussite de l’entreprise. ainsi que de par sa nature frontalière et son fort turnover. L’absence d’adéquation entre l’expérience professionnelle promise et l’expérience réelle peut entraîner une rotation rapide des effectifs, en particulier chez les vendeurs avec des conséquences négatives sur la relation client. C’est pourquoi nous explorons la marque employeur expérientielle (MEE) dans cinq études en appliquant le cadre expérientiel d’Holbrook. Nos cinq études révèlent les dimensions spécifiques de la marque employeur expérientielle. Deux étapes (focus group et analyse de 651 commentaires d’expérience professionnelle publiés sur glassdoor.com ) permettent de créer une échelle de la MEE, que deux études ultérieures (n = 234 et n = 210 vendeurs) testent. Cette approche de la marque employeur expérientielle peut aider les entreprises et les directeurs commerciaux à comprendre la nature expérientielle de leur marque employeur et à renforcer l’attrait de leurs offres d’emploi.
