Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTAimTo conceptualise experiences and perceptions of cancer nurses' potential for occupational exposure when dealing with cytotoxic drugs (CDs).DesignA mixed methods systematic review with framework synthesis.Methods and Data SourcesA literature search was conducted in February 2022 in CINAHL PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid Nursing, and PsycINFO, and it was reported using the PRISMA guidance.ResultsA synthesis of 38 studies revealed new categories of perceived solutions, side effects, and risky behaviour as well as three levels of experience and perception: individual, shared, and cultural, rather than the a priori theory.ConclusionsThe review conclude that individuals espouse safe handling and administration of CDs. Synthesis highlights a complex interplay between self‐reported perception and the observed experience of potential occupational exposure to cytotoxic drugs.Implications for Professional PracticeThe framework synthesis highlights the difference between the perception of espoused practice and the experience of practice. Observation and risk assessment must be used to enhance safe practice. Organisations must take seriously the perception and experience of the adverse effects of administering cytotoxic drugs to support cancer nurses.Reporting MethodJoanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews and framework synthesis indexed studies deductively and inductively.No patient or public contribution.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO: CRD42022289276

ABSTRACTAimTo examine the association between mutuality and quality of life in nurse–patient dyads.DesignA cross‐sectional multi‐centre study was conducted.MethodsThe study was conducted in five tertiary hospitals in Italy. We enrol both inpatients and outpatients with chronic diseases and their nurses with a convenience sampling. One‐hundred ninety‐two dyads participated to the study. A self‐assessment instrument including the Short‐Form 12 Health Survey (SF‐12), and the Nurse Patient Mutuality in Chronic Illness scale (NPM‐CI scale), in the two versions—one for patients and one for nurses, was administered. The effects of nurse–patient mutuality on the physical and mental quality of life of nurses and patients were estimated with a series of actor‐partner‐interdependence models (APIM).ResultsPatients' and nurses' perceptions of their mutuality were positively correlated. For patient mental quality of life, there was a statistically significant actor effect both for patients, and for nurses. There was also a consistent statistically significant partner effect for patient mental quality of life. There were no statistically significant actor or partner effects for the nurses' and patients' physical quality of life. This construct may be influenced by additional components, further studies are needed.ConclusionsMutuality between nurses and patients in chronic diseases influence both patient and nurse quality of life.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareOur results support the importance of taking a dyadic perspective when considering mutuality and quality of life in nurse–patient dyads.ImpactNurse–patient mutuality is an indicator of a high‐quality relationship, which allows shared goals and shared decision‐making. Quality of life is one of the most important outcomes for chronic conditions patients and is an indicator of well‐being. Quality of life is also an important variable in healthcare professionals' lives. Little is known about the association between mutuality and quality of life in nurse–patient dyads. Mutuality has an actor effect on patient's and nurse's quality of life and has a negative partner effect on patient's quality of life. The understanding of mutuality and interdependence within the dyad, could increase mental quality of life in nurse–patient dyads.Reporting MethodSTROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies was followed in this study.Patient or Public ContributionPatients were involved in the sample of the study.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDThis study evaluated stakeholders' perceptions regarding the initial implementation process of the health promoting school model proposed by the affordable health initiative (AHI HPS model) in schools of Belo Horizonte/BRA.METHODSThe model has been implemented since 2019, by an implementation committee (IC) with members from university, health, and education sectors. Data were collected from records of the IC meetings (n = 10) and interviews with 5 IC members to evaluate the model's acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, and feasibility. The material was decomposed by content analysis.RESULTSTwo categories and 7 subcategories emerged, suggesting that stakeholders found the model straightforward and well‐suited to schools. Facilitators (teamwork, motivation, commitment, teacher's central role, inclusive decision‐making, intersectoral responsibility pact, model alignment with school context) and barriers (family involvement, time constraints for curriculum integration, financial resource, school infrastructure, records difficulties, university unawareness of the school context) to implementation were presented.IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITYThe results highlight the need to involve civil society and decision‐makers to make the program feasible.CONCLUSIONParticipants showed they accept and intend to contribute to implementing the model. They believe in the program's feasibility as long as teacher involvement is prioritized, and identified barriers are overcome.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThe deep‐sea benthos often exhibit exceptional biodiversity. The patch‐mosaic hypothesis proposes that this deep‐sea diversity arises from varied microhabitats with prolonged temporal persistence filtering for distinctive communities thereby increasing beta‐diversity. This study investigated environmental, community, and macrofaunal species turnover at four deep‐sea sites (~2000 m) in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Using precise small‐scale sampling with a ROV, we analyzed patterns across spatial scales from centimeters to approximately 400 km among 67 sediment cores. We examined the relationships between sedimentary carbon, sediment grain size, and macrofaunal alpha‐ and beta‐diversity. Subsequently, we explored the role of these environmental properties and their spatial arrangement in shaping communities and species distributions. We observed a consistent trend where the overall abundance and diversity of a community increased with higher carbon but decreased with increasing grain size. Substantial faunal turnover was observed among cores, even at centimeter scales, with the contribution of centimeter‐scale spatial distance rivaling that of 100‐km scales in faunal dissimilarity. Similar to alpha‐diversity, beta‐diversity exhibited strong correlations with sediment carbon and grain size. The observed random spatial structure in grain size and carbon appear to translate into randomness in both community and species distribution. These findings align with the patch‐mosaic model, underscoring the complexity of deep‐sea ecosystems. These findings suggest an intricate relationship between sedimentary attributes, faunal composition, and spatial arrangement in the deep‐sea benthos, shedding light on the mechanisms driving biodiversity in seemingly homogeneous environments.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the presence of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia species infecting wild birds and their associated ticks in two localities: Moconá Provincial Park (MPP) and Piñalito Provincial Park (PPP), within the Atlantic rainforest ecoregion of Argentina. A total of 142 birds were captured representing 34 species, 28 genera, 15 families and five orders. Ticks were collected from 33 of these birds, comprising 19 species, 14 genera and one order. A total of 59 ticks were collected and identified as Amblyomma calcaratum (13 larvae and four nymphs), Amblyomma longirostre (31 larvae and four nymphs), Amblyomma ovale (one larva and one nymph) and Haemaphysalis leporispalustris (five larvae). All samples were screened for detection of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Four bird species tested positive for Anaplasmataceae, with three closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species previously reported in A. calcaratum adults from a site 15 km away from MPP. The fourth Anaplasmataceae agent was phylogenetically related to Ehrlichia strains reported in Amblyomma triste from the Delta and Parana Islands ecoregion. Additionally, two Rickettsia species were detected and molecularly identified within ticks collected from birds: Rickettsia amblyommatis in A. longirostre larvae and Rickettsia rhipicephali in H. leporispalustris larvae. These findings suggest that birds may play a significant role in the spread of ticks and their associated tick‐borne pathogens across diverse biomes.

Published: October 2024

SummaryReactive oxygen species (ROS) are among the most important signaling molecules, playing a significant role in plant growth, development, and responses to various environmental stresses. Respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs) are key enzymes in ROS production. Plants tightly regulate the activation and deactivation of RBOHs through various post‐translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, S‐nitrosylation, and persulfidation. These PTMs fine‐tune ROS production, ensuring normal plant growth and development while facilitating rapid responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. This review discusses the effects of different PTMs on RBOH function and their biological relevance. Additionally, we examine the evolutionary conservation of PTM sites and emphasize the complex interplay between multiple PTMs regulating RBOHs.
Larger, Not Leaner? Agencification and the Size of the Administrative Overhead in Local Governments
Authors: Kårtvedt Leif E. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTGovernments establish agencies to enhance public service efficiency, aiming to improve government performance. However, agencification makes governments' service delivery more complex by putting service providers at arm's length from governments' control. To retain their capacity to support frontline service delivery, governments may expand their central administrative overhead. Conceptually, overhead constitutes resources available to support primary production processes in the organization, such as managerial coordination and technical support. This study, based on survey and registry data from 296 Norwegian local governments, analyses whether agencification correlates with the size of administrative overhead across political systems. The findings reveal lower central administrative overhead in local governments with higher degrees of agencification, suggesting a challenge in providing central support for an increasingly disaggregated service delivery. Importantly, the study underscores the difficulty governments face in mobilizing adequate resources to achieve their stated goals.
Beyond Stocks and Surges: The Demographic Impact of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population in the United States
Authors: Van Hook Jennifer 
Published: October 2024

AbstractStock estimates of the US unauthorized foreign‐born population are routinely published, but less is known about this population's dynamics. Using a series of residual estimates based on 2000 Census and 2001–2022 American Community Survey (ACS), I estimate the components of change for the unauthorized immigrant population from 2000 to 2022 by region and country of origin. Further, I develop and present novel measures of expected duration in unauthorized status and demographic impact of unauthorized entries (i.e., person‐years lived in unauthorized status). Results reveal dramatic changes over the last two decades. In the early 2000s, the unauthorized immigrant population was dominated by Mexicans who tended to remain in the United States for extended periods of time and whose demographic impact on the US population was substantial. After the 2007–2008 Great Recession, a new pattern emerged. Unauthorized migrants now arrive from across the globe, including Central America and Asia (up through 2018), and most recently from Europe, Africa, Canada, Venezuela, and other parts of South America. These new unauthorized immigrants are more likely to arrive on temporary nonimmigrant visas (which typically allow a foreigner to live and work in the United States for six years) and, with the exception of Venezuelans, spend less time in unauthorized status. Overall, the demographic impact of this new type of unauthorized migration is lower than it was two decades ago.
The politics of pooling risk: People want to help the vulnerable by involving the government in healthcare
Authors: Alva Daniella P. , Andrews Talbot M. , Delton Andrew W. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractMany people want the government involved in healthcare. Is this because citizens are concerned about their own vulnerability, the plight of vulnerable others, or both? To test for these concerns, we used representative surveys and experimental economic games. We found robust evidence for concern for others. In surveys, people who worried about vulnerable others wanted more government involvement in healthcare. In experiments, people with the opportunity to subsidize vulnerable others often helped. The evidence for personal concern was more mixed. In surveys, people who were personally vulnerable did not usually want more government involvement in healthcare. In experiments, however, vulnerable people often wanted more healthcare. Additional data suggests that concern for the vulnerable is motivated by social preferences, empathy, and compassion. We discuss how the logic of healthcare is different from other aspects of the welfare state and therefore needs to be studied separately.
Absurdity as the impossible command in natural deduction
Authors: Pezlar Ivo 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new approach to absurdity in the context of natural deduction for intuitionistic and classical logic. It combines the aspects of both the logical approach, which treats absurdity as a propositional constant, and the structural approach, which treats absurdity as a structural punctuation mark signalling the dead end of derivations. In particular, we will treat absurdity as an impossible command, that is, a speech act composed of an imperative force indicator, and the false propositional constant, that is, a proposition that cannot be true by definition. In return, we obtain a framework that constitutes a middle ground between the logical and structural approaches. For example, it allows us to consider the ex falso quodlibet rule as a kind of structural rule, specifically, a semi‐structural rule, and at the same time also maintain that negation can be reduced to implication of absurdity, specifically, to its propositional content.

Published: October 2024

AbstractCentaurea melitensis L., known commonly as Malta thistle, is an aggressive and invasive weed species native to the Mediterranean region. This species now occupies a diverse range of ecosystems and climate types across the globe, including the semi‐arid zone of New South Wales, Australia. This semi‐arid climate differs dramatically from its native Mediterranean climate, therefore, we aimed to identify if local adaptations in the seed ecology for C. melitensis have developed. Seeds were collected from mature C. melitensis at Nanya Station, located within the Scotia region of NSW, and then transported to Federation University Australia, Mt. Helen, Victoria. Under laboratory conditions, mature seeds were tested for their germination responses to temperature (17/7, 25/15, 30/20, 35/25°C), photoperiod (12 h light and 12 h dark [L/D], 24 h dark [D]), salinity (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mM), osmotic potential (0, −0.1, −0.2, −0.4, −0.6, and −0.8 MPa), and pH (5, 6, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, and 10). The seeds achieved 100% germination in the 17/7°C treatment, with light not being a limiting factor. The seeds exposed to the 25/15°C (D) and 30/20°C (D) treatments also maintained high germination percentage, whilst germination was significantly reduced in the 35/25°C (D) treatment. The L/D photoperiod maintained a 77.5% germination rate at 35/25°C. Whilst increased salinity reduced seed germination from 97.5% in the control to 6% at 250 mM, this species nevertheless demonstrated resistance to osmotic stress with 23% germination observed at 0.8 MPa. Germination exceeded 90% at all of the soil pH treatments, although mean germination time was significantly reduced when seeds were treated with a solution of pH 10. Our results demonstrate that the C. melitensis seeds collected in Australia's semi‐arid zone demonstrated high germination plasticity and are capable of competitive germination in warmer and drier conditions compared to its native Mediterranean climate. Therefore, management efforts that prioritise restricting the spread of C. melitensis seeds into new environments, for example through practising correct sanitation protocols, coupled with the early detection and control of emerging populations will be critical for C. melitensis management in Australia.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The non-synchronous blade vibration induced by a rotating aerodynamic disturbance is encountered for the fan of a turbofan engine working at 65% speedline. To analyze the unsteady characteristics, two methods based on the phase analysis and the compressive sensing (CS) for spatially-undersampled data are proposed and applied to obtain the circumferential mode order of the aerodynamic disturbance, and their performance has been carefully examined at various parameters. It was shown that when there are sufficient probes, i.e., 7–8 in the present study, both the two methods can give a correct prediction to the dominant mode order (the highest is 26 in this work) for all non-engine-order (EO) frequencies. However, if less probes are used, the deterioration of accuracy can be observed for both the two methods and a better performance can be observed for the CS method. In order to suppress the blade vibration, the fan blade is trimmed to alter its solid eigenfrequencies and avoid the resonance, which is proved to be an effective anti-vibration design. The existence of the aerodynamic disturbance after the blade is trimmed also suggests that the vibration is not self-excited but induced by the resonance of the flow excitation and the structure. For the cases with and without vibration, the origin of these non-EO frequencies can be well explained by the spinning mode theory and the interaction between the blade vibration and a high-order blade passing frequency has been observed in this study.
A Data-Driven Method for the Derivation of Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Models Applied to the Wake Losses of Low-Pressure Turbine Cascades

Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper introduces and validates a data-driven approach to improve the prediction of linear eddy viscosity models (LEVMs). The general approach is adopted in order to improve the wake mixing of low-pressure turbine (LPT) cascades. The approach is based on the modification of the Boussinesq assumption. It follows the rationale applied in the derivation of explicit algebraic Reynolds stress models (EARSMs) by including additional second-order tensors, as suggested by Pope (1975, “A More General Effective-Viscosity Hypothesis,” J. Fluid Mech., 72(2), pp. 331–340. 10.1017/S0022112075003382 ) . The unknown scalar functions that determine the contributions of each second-order tensor to the Reynolds stresses are approximated as polynomials. A metamodel-assisted multi-objective optimization determines the value of each of the polynomial coefficients. The optimization minimizes the difference between the result of the EARSM simulation and reference data provided by a high-fidelity large eddy simulation (LES). In this study, tailor made EARSMs are calibrated in order to improve the prediction of the kinetic energy loss distribution in the wake of the T106C LPT cascade with an isentropic Reynolds number of 80,000. We showed that the wake losses predicted by state-of-the-art Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence models cannot reproduce the reference (LES) data. In the following, we investigated the influence of each polynomial coefficient of the (EARSM) on the flow solutions within a sensitivity study. The models generated by the approach reduced the deviations in total kinetic energy loss between the (LES) reference solution and the baseline model by approximately 70%. The turbulent quantities are analyzed to identify the physical correlations between the model inputs and the improvement. The transferability of the models to unseen test cases was assessed using the MTU-T161 (LPT) cascade with an isentropic Reynolds number of 90,000. A decrease of up to 80% is achieved regarding the deviations between the (LES) reference and the baseline RANS model. In summary, the suggested approach was able to generate tailor made EARSM models that reduce the deviations between RANS and LES for the mixing of turbulent wake flows.
