Published: December 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe increasing prevalence of psychological distress among mothers is outpacing the effectiveness of conventional coping methods like cognitive behavioral therapy. The efficacy of alternatives such as writing therapy for maternal psychological well‐being remains uncertain due to a lack of extensive research and inconsistent findings.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of expressive writing therapy in comparison to standard postpartum care for alleviating psychological distress, encompassing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress, in postpartum women.Search StrategyFor this purpose, seven bibliographic databases, including CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and gray literature were examined up to December 27, 2022 for randomized controlled trials, comparing expressive writing against standard care or controlled writing among postpartum women with psychological distress.Data Collection and AnalysisData was collected using a random effect model for meta‐analysis.ResultsA meta‐analysis of five studies with 483 participants found that expressive writing therapy was more effective than standard care or controlled writing in reducing postpartum depression and stress among women with psychological distress. Expressive writing resulted in a significant reduction in initial depression with standard mean difference (SMD) = −0.65%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −1.08 to −0.22, Z = 2.96, P = 0.003, in comparison to controlled writing as an intervention. Regarding expressive writing versus standard care, a narrative review was conducted due to an I2 above 75%. The results showed significant improvements compared to the baseline at the seventh day and third month post‐intervention. In terms of stress scores, there was a significant difference favoring expressive writing over standard care at the first month (SMD = −0.80%, 95% CI = −1.35 to −0.24, Z = 2.81, P = 0.005) and third month (SMD = −0.53%, 95% CI = −0.86 to −0.20, Z = 3.13, P = 0.002) post‐intervention. Stress scores are also greatly reduced for expressive writing versus controlled writing with SMD = −0.79%, 95% CI = −1.03 to −0.55, Z = 6.48, P < 0.00001. However, the effectiveness of expressive writing on postpartum anxiety should be interpreted cautiously due to low certainty.ConclusionExpressive writing serves as an effective alternative for non‐pharmacological intervention for postpartum women with depression and stress, but more research is needed for postpartum anxiety. As substantial heterogeneity was detected, results must be interpreted cautiously. Postpartum women with psychological distress are encouraged to use expressive writing as an affordable way to promote maternal mental health for the benefit of both the mother and the child.
Multisensor‐Driven Lightweight Networks for Intelligent Sports Training System: Design and Research
Authors: Xing Jibao 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTEdge computing and multisensor integration have revolutionized sports training technologies, yet many existing systems remain computationally intensive and complex for everyday use. This study introduces an efficient and user‐friendly intelligent sports training system that leverages edge‐based multisensor data processing with lightweight neural networks. The system utilizes low‐latency activity and real‐time pose estimation data, powered by a modified MobileNetV2 model, to generate personalized training plans through reinforcement learning. Tests show that the system matches the accuracy of more complex models while significantly reducing computational needs. Compression techniques further enhance efficiency with minimal accuracy loss. User studies revealed notable improvements in fitness levels and adherence compared to traditional methods. The system adapts to real‐time user performance, offering feedback and dynamically adjusting plans, with low energy consumption across mobile devices. This research shows that our developed system, which integrates multisensors and artificial intelligence, can make personalized sports training more accessible.

ABSTRACTZotepine is a second‐generation antipsychotic that demonstrates significant efficacy in antagonizing D2 and 5‐HT2A receptors. Although clinical investigations have shown that administering zotepine is associated with an increased prevalence of hyperglycemia and a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease, the side effects of zotepine on voltage‐gated K+ (Kv) channels have not been established. Zotepine suppressed the vascular Kv channels in rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells in a concentration‐dependent manner, with an IC50 of 5.3 ± 0.4 μM and a Hill coefficient of 1.6 ± 0.2. The decay rate of inactivation was significantly accelerated by zotepine. Applying zotepine (10 μM) shifted the steady‐state inactivation curve in a negative direction. Applying train pulses at 1 and 2 Hz resulted in a progressive increase in blockage of the Kv currents by zotepine. Furthermore, zotepine prolonged the recovery time from inactivation. Although pretreatment with the Kv2.1 subtype inhibitor stromatoxin‐1 and the Kv7 subtype inhibitor linopirdine did not change the degree of zotepine‐induced inhibition of Kv currents, pretreatment with the Kv1.5 channel inhibitor DPO‐1 decreased the inhibitory effects of zotepine on Kv currents. Zotepine also induced membrane depolarization. These results indicate that zotepine inhibits Kv currents (mainly Kv1.5 subtype) in dose‐, time‐, and use (state)‐dependent manners by changing the steady‐state inactivation curve.
Do Investors Perceive Improvements in Fair Value Accounting for Investment Assets After PCAOB Inspections?
Authors: Dee Carol Callaway , Gunny Katherine , Strawser William R. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTWe examine whether fair value (FV) deficiencies highlighted in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection reports improve perceptions of the reporting quality of FV investment assets. Qualitative studies illustrate that subjective and complex estimates pose unique challenges to audit improvement. Using a market‐based measure of financial reporting quality (i.e., implied asset‐specific betas), we find a positive association between the intensity of FV‐deficient reports and perceived reporting quality of level 2 (but not level 3) FV investment assets and show that the association is stronger when audit office FV expertise is high. Consistent with improvements in disclosures, after a FV‐deficient report, we find FV footnotes become relatively more readable and include less cautionary language as level 2 holdings increase. Overall, our evidence suggests investors value PCAOB inspections regarding level 2 FV assets.

AbstractLegacy phosphorus (P) is a concept advanced by Dr. Andrew Sharpley and colleagues that was originally applied to the persistence of anthropogenic signatures in watersheds, and it has since been adopted in a diversity of settings to help guide the science and management of P. Following Sharpley's example to develop consensus‐based science, we considered contrasting perspectives on legacy P and defined legacy P as those stores within the environment that arise from historic human activity excluding “natural” or “background” geogenic sources. Legacy P is not restricted to one system or setting; it may reside in soils, sediments, biota, and water bodies. Legacy P has been estimated by fluxes (inputs minus outputs of P to a system) or, equivalently, by mass stocks (total minus geogenic). Because the origin of P in the environment cannot currently be directly quantified, we recommend that researchers report “total P” to track wider watershed P stocks and fluxes of P that include legacy P. We recognize that the definition of legacy P will continue to evolve as we continue to work toward consensus. Ultimately, the final definition of legacy P has consequences for the implementation and success of regulatory and voluntary strategies for legacy P management in agricultural systems. We support continued progress toward a consensus‐backed, research‐grounded definition for legacy P that is widely applicable yet useful for guiding management and policy.
Boris Parygin' Social Psychology: History and Perspectives

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTInternational literature on the history of Russian psychology is largely limited to the development of Activity theory and cultural‐historical theory. This paper aims to go beyond these limits by introducing a figure little known to an international audience, Boris Parygin, who emerged in the 1960s with his “grand” project for the development of Russian social psychology, significantly different from the Soviet psychology “mainstream,” stemming from Vygotsky, Luria, and Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev. We demonstrate that Parygin's works belong to a theoretical and methodological tradition of social and humanitarian scholarship that had been developing in Russia since 1870s. This was a broad and inter‐disciplinary stream of theoretical and methodological developments, including authors like Berdyaev, Mikhailovsky, and so on, that embraced various disciplines (primarily, psychology, sociology, and philosophy). Despite the fact that Parygin's project did not receive substantial support from the soviet academic community, his ideas concerning personality and emphasis on the importance of individual choice and self‐determined activity mediating the impact of social surroundings, have become relevant in the context of current discussions in the international science about individual agency, including debates concerning the transformative potential of the individual upon the social structure under conditions of “morphogenetic society” (M. Archer) or “neo‐structuration” (P. Sorokin).

ABSTRACTBackgroundIntegrating fruit trees is among the promising agroforestry technologies. Intercropping of fruit trees with remunerative crops, particularly vegetables, could generate higher income for farmers.AimThe present study involves the assessment of apple‐based agroforestry systems integrated with various agricultural crops such as black gram, capsicum, tomato, and brinjal and evaluated the effect of integrated farming on soil properties, microbial biomass, and enzyme activities.MethodsThe experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design by considering sole apple, sole tomato, sole brinjal, sole capsicum, sole black gram, apple + tomato, apple + brinjal, apple + capsicum, and apple + black gram as treatments.ResultsThe study revealed the performance of the agroforestry system where apple and tomato in combination perform better than others and sole cropping. The competition for moisture, nutrients, and other limiting resources in agroforestry system where apple trees are grown in combination with brinjal, capsicum, and black gram resulted in poor plant's growth and yield. This combination of crops also significantly affected the organic carbon, porosity, bulk, and particle densities. The available N, P, and K contents decreased with the increased soil depth. It was observed that microbial biomass in terms of carbon (Cmic), nitrogen (Nmic), and phosphorus (Pmic) was higher where tomato was grown in apple‐based agroforestry systems than in sole cropping. Higher enzymatic activities for acid and alkaline phosphatase, catalase, and dehydrogenase were recorded in agroforestry system where tomatoes were grown in the presence of apple trees.ConclusionsThe results reported that a combination of apple and tomato is the most successful system as tomato crop performs better under the apple tree canopy, possibly due to the favorable microenvironment and tree‐crop compatibility.

AbstractObjectivesColonic manometry catheter placement can be performed by colonoscopy or fluoroscopy. Our objective was to compare outcomes of colonoscopic to fluoroscopic catheter placement in children based on the extent of colon study and the likelihood of catheter displacement.MethodsColonic manometry studies performed between May 2015 and May 2022 were reviewed. All studies with catheter placement per rectum were included. Data on patient demographics, medical and surgical history, and information on catheter placement (type of catheter, placement technique, position, and displacement) were recorded.ResultsWe reviewed 555 studies and included 482 studies performed on 453 children (51% female, median age 10 years, interquartile range: 7–14 years). The catheter was placed during colonoscopy in 274 studies and using fluoroscopy in 208 studies. Children with colonoscopic placement were significantly older (median age 11 vs. 8 years, p < 0.001), more commonly male (55% vs. 41%, p = 0.003), and more commonly had functional constipation (85% vs. 69%, p < 0.001). Children with fluoroscopic placement more often had pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (10% vs. 1%, p < 0.001), a diverting ostomy (21% vs. 7%, p < 0.001), and a cecostomy (10% vs. 4%, p = 0.023). A successful catheter placement (reaching ascending colon) was significantly more common using colonoscopy (49% vs. 23%, p < 0.001). There were no differences in frequency or extent of catheter displacement between colonoscopic and fluoroscopic placement.ConclusionsColonoscopic placement was superior to fluoroscopic placement in terms of the extent of the colon studied with no differences in frequency of catheter displacement. Colonoscopic placement should be the preferred method in most children with refractory constipation.

AbstractObjectivesImproving characterization of the narrowing phenotype in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).MethodsNew pediatric EoE diagnoses from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively identified in Vancouver (BC), Northern Alberta (AB), Hamilton (ON), and Nova Scotia (NS). Incidence rates were calculated using 2016 Federal census data. Clinical, endoscopic, and histologic data were gathered from diagnosis until the end of the follow‐up period (fall 2019).ResultsThe incidence of EoE in patients less than 15 years old was 5.4 per 100,000 person‐years. Of the 332 new diagnoses, 40 (12.0%) had endoscopically identified esophageal narrowing at diagnosis or during the follow‐up period, with a subset of 11 (27.5% of narrowed cohort) patients undergoing mechanical esophageal dilation. The median age at diagnosis and median duration of symptoms were higher in the cohort with narrowing than those without. Patient‐reported food bolus impaction and dysphagia were associated with esophageal narrowing. Trachealization was the endoscopic finding most commonly associated with esophageal narrowing. Of the 65 esophagogastroduodenoscopies performed in the follow‐up of a known esophageal narrowing, 4 of the 31 (13%) had resolution of this finding post mechanical dilation, and 19 of the 39 (49%) had resolution of the narrowing after initiation of new medical or dietary treatments (without dilation).ConclusionsEoE is common in Canadian children, with esophageal narrowing being present within a few years of diagnosis in 12% of cases. Interestingly, a large portion of narrowing resolved without mechanical dilation.

AbstractBACKGROUNDOenanthe javanica (Blume) DC., also known as water dropwort, is an aquatic plant species native to various regions across Asia. Despite its numerous health‐promoting effects, research on improving its quality remains limited. The present study aimed to identify the optimal soil conditions required for high‐quality water dropwort production.RESULTSFifty crop and soil samples from South Korean farms were analyzed for their functional content, soil chemical properties and plant tissue components. The results indicated that crop samples with lower functional components had higher soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and exchangeable cations than those with higher functional components. High‐quality crop samples exhibited neutral soil pH and low EC values, suggesting better nutrient availability for crop growth and reduced salt stress as a result of mineral accumulation in soil.CONCLUSIONThese findings suggest that soils affected by excessive salinity may create suboptimal soil conditions for water dropwort cultivation, potentially compromising crop quality. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractRelatively little is known about red fox (Vulpes vulpes) spatial ecology on barrier islands, where semi‐linear habitat distribution and aquatic barriers may affect terrestrial movements. Because red foxes often are a predator of imperiled shorebirds in these ecosystems, and predation is often managed along with other factors such as habitat limitation, this information is needed to inform effective holistic management. The goals of this study were to describe red fox spatial ecology in a barrier island ecosystem and compare these findings to the existing literature on red fox space use in other coastal settings. We used global positioning system (GPS) collar data collected from 2015–2018 from 31 red foxes to estimate sizes of home ranges and core‐use areas, describe daily activity patterns, and investigate within‐home‐range resource selection among red foxes on Fire Island, New York, USA. Twenty‐two of 31 red foxes maintained distinct home ranges throughout the monitoring period, while 9 were transient, regularly traveling through the home ranges of other red foxes and among management units across the island. Observed GPS‐collared red fox home range sizes (95% time local convex hull [t‐LoCoH] isopleths) ranged from 10 ha to 659 ha, averaging 59 ± 7 ha (SE) among resident foxes and 447 ± 46 ha among transient foxes. Core‐use areas (50% t‐LoCoH isopleths) ranged from <1 ha to 268 ha, averaging 10 ± 1 ha among resident foxes and 67 ± 27 ha among transient foxes. Hourly minimum movement rates varied across the diel cycle and among individuals, averaging 216 m/hour ± 9 m/hour, and were highest 13–22 hours after sunrise. Within‐home‐range resource selection varied among activity periods. For example, red foxes selected areas closer than expected to vegetation based on availability during the daytime and twilight hours but farther than expected from vegetation at night. We recommend vegetation management in and around shorebird nesting areas to reduce daytime resting sites and hunting cover for red foxes while improving suitability for use by nesting shorebirds. We also suggest coordination of predator management activities across agencies in this situation and in others where predators regularly cross management unit boundaries. Overall, we found that many aspects of red fox space use in the study area, such as smaller average home ranges compared to those in other ecosystems, were similar to that of red foxes in other coastal settings; additional research is needed to determine whether this holds true in other barrier island systems.

AbstractPerovskite photodetectors (PDs) provide opportunities for high‐performance imaging owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, perovskite PD‐based video rate imaging has rarely been reported due to the well‐known slow response and complex array fabrication of perovskite sensors. In this work, a perovskite video camera (PVC) based on a fast perovskite PD combined with computational imaging algorithm is fabricated. The PD has a p‐i‐n structure of FTO/PTAA/MAPbI3/PC61BM/BCP/Au. Owing to combined effects of build‐in electric field, passivation of interface layer, and short carrier transport distance, the proposed PD demonstrates fast response speed of 0.275/0.39 µs (rise/fall). With the help of the computational imaging algorithm, complex array fabrication is bypassed, and successfully demonstrates video rate imaging of a fast‐moving ball with 25 frame s−1 using this single PD. Therefore, this study can call this PVC and believes that the camera provides a new application scenario for perovskite and other emerging optoelectronic materials.

AbstractBackgroundCare gaps in routine and preventive care are common among youth. To close care gaps, health systems should take a population health approach and create opportunities for partnership, collaboration, shared learning, and scale via learning networks (LNs).MethodsWe describe the Pediatric Improvement Network for Quality (PINQ), a regional population health LN with the aim of closing well‐child and mental and behavioral health (MBH) care gaps. We initially launched PINQ with 2 primary care domains: well‐child care (WCC) and MBH and later added the third domain of PINQ focused on community MBH organizations. We defined measures for the primary care WCC (well‐child visits for infants 0–15 months; lead screening by 2 years of age, childhood immunization status 3 completion) and MBH domains (depression screening in youth 12–17 years, 30‐day follow‐up for positive depression screen, mental health emergency department utilization) and established system‐level key drivers.ResultsPINQ launched in September 2022 with 7 teams (5 in primary care WCC and 2 in primary care MBH domains, respectively). All teams participate in a monthly meeting that alternates between the Action Period call and Solutions Labs. We highlight two case studies that illustrate the impact of shared learning and quality improvement support on Improvement Team efforts.ConclusionWe foresee PINQ as a means of moving the needle toward high quality, comprehensive health care for Greater Cincinnati youth. The next steps include growing PINQ by adding Improvement Teams and expanding the network focus to include other primary care‐centric metrics and conditions.
