Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTAimRepetitive negative thinking (RNT) as a cognitive process in multiple mental disorders is a key risk factor for mental disorders. It is associated with the development and maintenance of the illness. The perseverative thinking questionnaire (PTQ) is an instrument to evaluate RNT with excellent reliability and validity. Nevertheless, a Chinese version of the perseverative thinking questionnaire (C‐PTQ) is lack of validation in Chinese college students. The study aimed to establish a C‐PTQ, explore its psychometric properties in college students.MethodsAfter translating PTQ into Chinese, we investigated 696 college students. We conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine the psychometric properties and factor structures of the C‐PTQ. Content validity was assessed using the content validity index and internal consistency was assessed using the Cronbach's α and McDonald's Omega ω. Multi‐variable linear regressions explored the relationships between variables. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine the ability of C‐PTQ in identifying depression and anxiety.ResultsThe EFA showed a one‐factor structure, which explained 52.227% of the total variance. The CFA showed that both one‐factor structure in this research and three‐factor structure of original demonstrated eligible model fits. The content validity index of 0.93. Results demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.934, McDonald's Omega ω = 0.934) and convergent validity. The PTQ is a useful tool in identifying depression (sensitivity = 85.5%, specificity = 64.6%) and anxiety (sensitivity = 84.6%, specificity = 68.5%).ConclusionsThe C‐PTQ has good psychometric properties, which is valid and reliable for assessing RNT in Chinese college students.

AbstractStraw return with chemical fertilizers is integral to improving soil quality and the sustainability of agricultural production. However, little is known about how straw return with chemical fertilizer application affects CO2 emissions and carbon pools from the perspective of nutrient stoichiometry. We conducted a 2‐year (2020–2021) field experiment in a wheat–maize rotation system in silty clay loam to study the effects of straw return and fertilizer application on CO2 emissions, soil carbon pools and yields by applying stoichiometry. A split‐plot experimental design was used (straw was main treatment, and fertilizer was the split‐plot treatment). The treatments were no straw return + no fertilizer (S0W), no straw return + mineral nitrogen fertilizer (S0N), no straw return + mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer (S0NP), straw return + no fertilizer (SW), straw return + mineral nitrogen fertilizer (SN) and straw return + mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer (SNP). The results indicated that, compared with S0W, the SNP treatment significantly increased soil organic carbon (SOC) storage by 17% and 13% in the 0–20 cm and 20–40 cm soil horizons, respectively. Additionally, compared with S0W, the SNP and SN treatments significantly increased the annual cumulative CO2 emissions by 85% and 41%, respectively. Furthermore, the SNP and SN treatments significantly increased the annual yield by 61% and 38%, respectively, compared with S0W. Our results indicated that straw and fertilizer inputs reduced the C:Nimbalance in the topsoil (0–20 cm), with fertilizer inputs showing a more pronounced effect. However, straw incorporation increased the C:Nimbalance in subsoil (20–40 cm). Redundancy analysis (RDA) and structural equation models (SEM) suggested that 0–20 cm carbon‐phosphorus ratio (C:P) and nitrogen‐phosphorus ratio (N:P) could be significant predictors of annual yield and CO2 emissions. In conclusion, straw and fertilizers enhanced soil nutrient effectiveness and reduced carbon mineralization in favour of SOC storage. However, the input of exogenous materials (straw and fertilizers) disrupted the soil ecological stoichiometric balance and stimulated microbial activity, leading to increased CO2 emissions. Overall, this study provides theoretical guidance and scientific support for the green development of agriculture.
Introduction: exemples internationaux de négociation collective à plusieurs niveaux et leçons à retenir
Authors: GRIMSHAW Damian 
Published: December 2024

RésuméL'idée que la négociation collective à plusieurs niveaux pourrait favoriser un développement économique plus inclusif et plus durable suscite un regain d'intérêt dans le monde entier. De récentes expériences nationales montrent que le déploiement de nouveaux systèmes de négociation collective s'accompagne parfois de tensions et de contradictions, et mettent en lumière un déficit de connaissances sur les idiosyncrasies des institutions. Dans ce dossier, les auteurs s'appuient sur la théorie institutionnelle des relations du travail pour réaliser une évaluation critique des éléments empiriques disponibles à ce jour et présentent les leçons à retenir pour la création de systèmes efficaces et pérennes de négociation à plusieurs niveaux.

RésuméFace au regain d'intérêt porté à la négociation multiemployeurs pour nourrir l'action publique ou les recommandations en la matière, l'auteur analyse les formes de coordination, principalement horizontale et verticale, dans le système de négociation multiemployeurs danois. Il montre que plusieurs processus de coordination imbriqués viennent renforcer ce système, offrant des possibilités d'avantages tant aux employeurs qu'aux salariés. Cependant, il faut des ressources substantielles pour faire partie d'un système fortement coordonné et en tirer bénéfice. De ce fait, les principaux acteurs doivent posséder un certain nombre de capacités pour assurer le bon fonctionnement du système.

ABSTRACTAimThis study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of and discrepancies between planned and final implant positions using dynamic computer‐assisted implant surgery (d‐CAIS) and autonomous robotic computer‐assisted implant surgery (r‐CAIS) in clinical practice.Materials and MethodsThe study included 83 patients, who received 135 implants between December 2022 and March 2024 (r‐CAIS group: 43 patients with 71 implants; d‐CAIS group: 40 patients with 64 implants). Cone‐beam computed tomography scans taken before and after surgery assessed linear and angular deviations between the groups in both 2D and 3D spaces. The duration of surgery was also analysed.ResultsThe angular deviation between d‐CAIS and r‐CAIS was 3.61° ± 1.65° versus 1.62° ± 0.93° (p < 0.001), the platform deviation was 1.12 ± 0.51 mm versus 0.50 ± 0.19 mm (p < 0.001) and the apex deviation was 1.36 ± 0.57 mm versus 0.58 ± 0.21 mm (p < 0.001). The d‐CAIS group experienced significantly longer drilling and implant placement times compared to the r‐CAIS group (10.6 ± 3.8 vs. 8.3 ± 3.4 min, p < 0.01), while preparation time showed no statistical difference between the groups (7.2 ± 3.3 vs. 6.2 ± 2.7 min, p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe robotic system demonstrated higher accuracy and efficiency of implant placement than the dynamic navigation system in partially edentulous patients.

AbstractBackgroundThe Motivational Interviewing for Fall Prevention (MI‐FP) study aimed to engage older adults in fall prevention strategies. We report on the feasibility, intervention fidelity, and preliminary impact of MI‐FP.MethodsWe conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to test MI‐FP among older (age ≥ 65) primary care patients at high fall risk in a Pacific Northwest clinic in the United States. The intervention group received up to eight motivational interviewing (MI) sessions by MI practitioners over 6 months and the control group received standard care. Feasibility was defined as ≥75% retention and ≥75% reporting satisfaction at 6 months. Intervention fidelity was assessed by meeting pre‐determined MI proficiency standards using MI Treatment Integrity (MITI 4.2) coding scheme, and ≥75% of the intervention group completing ≥6 MI sessions. Preliminary impact was assessed at 6 and 12 months for changes in concern about falling, readiness to engage in fall prevention, fall prevention behaviors, physical function, and fall rates between groups.ResultsParticipants (n = 200) had a mean age of 80 years and 67% were female. The overall retention rate was 75.0% (n = 150). Among 81.3% (n = 122) who reported satisfaction, 82.8% were satisfied (n = 101). The intervention group had significantly lower retention than the control group at 6 months (68.3% vs. 81.8%, p = 0.04). A proficient MI intervention was delivered, but only 57.4% (n = 58) engaged in ≥6 MI sessions. The preliminary impact of the intervention showed promising trends, but there were no significant differences by group for any outcome measure at 6 or 12 months (p > 0.05).ConclusionsVirtual MI‐FP may improve accessibility for older adults to discuss fall prevention, but future studies are needed to improve retention and intervention completion.
The dispute for other legal knowledges in the judicial field: Indigenous territorial ontologies and mining extractivism in Guerrero, Mexico
Authors: Bravo Espinosa Yacotzin , Sierra Camacho María Teresa 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe Mè’phàà people in Guerrero, Mexico, won a judgment against open‐pit mining by which they asserted their sacred and integral conceptions of territory as part of their collective rights. Through the sentence, they avoided the dispossession of their lands and life project. This article analyzes how discourses around indigenous territorial ontologies were brought into play through anthropological expert reports. We are interested in highlighting the challenges and limits of judicial knowledge when disputing different rationalities and epistemologies regarding territory, grievances, and rights within the legal space. We document the production of non‐Western legal knowledge in the judicial field, revealing indigenous territory visions that confront the extractive projects. We focus our ethnographic gaze on the cultural and legal translation of the knowledge of the Mè’phàà people to analyze the scope and limits of a dialogue of knowledges and its effects on the judicialization and the politicization of the indigenous struggle.
Are spinal cord and medulla samples from embalmed donors suitable for histological examination? A pilot study
Authors: Trucas Marcello , Dervan Adrian , Quondamatteo Fabio 
Published: December 2024

AbstractA general belief exists that tissue from anatomical donors, especially from the central nervous system (CNS), may not be suitable for histological investigation. This is based on the idea that fixation routinely used in embalming whilst optimal for enabling dissection, insufficiently preserves tissue architecture at the cellular level. However, anatomical donors represent a precious resource for microscopical investigation, provided that preservation is sufficient to enable recognition of structures at the histological level. This could considerably extend the biomedical knowledge currently gained from donations. In this study, we addressed this question and examined histologically, samples of medulla and spinal cord from donors from the Anatomical Gift Programme of RCSI in Dublin. Samples of medulla and spinal cord in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions were obtained with appropriate permissions from four different donors that had been previously embalmed for routine anatomical examination. The tissue obtained was processed for paraffin embedding and routine histology. Analysis revealed that several features were identifiable with good histological detail. A scoring system was applied to evaluate the level of histological preservation in the various samples by assessing the following parameters: tissue integrity, presence of leptomeninges along the entire section surface, distinction/adherence grey/white matter, identification of neurons, other cell nuclei, neuropil pattern, capillaries and other intraneural vessels. Lumbar spinal cord and to a lesser extent medulla and cervical spinal cord showed on average good quality of preservation. Conversely, thoracic spinal cord tended, in general, to be less well preserved. We can conclude that spinal cord and medulla samples from embalmed donors can be suitable for histological examination. These findings open new avenues of study of spinal cord and brain stem anatomy on cadaveric tissue from donors already existing in anatomy donation programmes. These results also pave the way for the potential development of new human models of study useful to spinal cord and brain stem researchers. Finally, this expands considerably the impact of the generosity of anatomical donors for the advancement of biomedical knowledge.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to develop and validate a standard area diagram set (SADs) to estimate the severity of angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by the fungus Pseudocercospora griseola, in the leaflets of common bean plants. For the elaboration of SADs, the minimum and maximum disease severity limits in the leaflets were considered, along with the intermediate levels following linear increments. The SADs had 10 levels of severity as follows: 0.5%, 2.2%, 4.5%, 9.6%, 20.1%, 30.8%, 41.2%, 52.1%, 67.4%, and 77.3%. The validation was performed by 20 raters, 10 inexperienced and 10 experienced in quantifying severities of foliar diseases. The severity estimates were obtained in 150 leaflets displaying different levels of severity without and using the proposed SADs. Accuracy, precision and reliability of the estimates were improved using SADs. The SADs obtained in the present study proved to be adequate to estimate the severity of ALS in the leaflets of common bean plants with the potential of use in any study in which it is crucial to quantify the severity of this foliar disease to discriminate treatments with precision and accuracy.

Published: December 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the synergy between population health and public health by initiating a discourse about their interconnected roles, responsibilities, and approaches in achieving optimal health outcomes.OverviewPopulation health and public health, although distinct, are interconnected disciplines critical for enhancing health outcomes. Population health focuses on analyzing health determinants and outcomes within specific groups, employing data to guide targeted interventions and policies. Public health, on the other hand, prioritizes broader preventive measures and community‐wide interventions to safeguard health. Both fields benefit from a transdisciplinary approach that integrates strategies to address and improve health.Such integration is essential for addressing health disparities and improving the efficiency of health systems. By combining the analytical strengths of population health with the implementation capabilities of public health, a more comprehensive framework can be developed. These collaborations will not only enhance the effectiveness of health programs but also promote health equity by leveraging collective expertise and resources. They will facilitate the development of interventions that are both preventive and responsive, capable of addressing the upstream determinants of health and the immediate needs of communities. Such transdisciplinary efforts were demonstrated within the oral health field during the COVID‐19 pandemic.ConclusionsThe synergy between population and public health can lead to robust health outcomes, fostering comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention strategies. By aligning research, practices, and policies, these integrated approaches will transcend traditional boundaries within the healthcare sector to build efficient health systems.
Context, Emergence and Critical Realism: A Response to Navarrete and Fryer

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis is a response to Cristián Navarrete and Tom Fryer's recent paper on contextual emergence and critical realism. Their paper raises some stimulating challenges to critical realist accounts of emergence, but I argue that it does not establish that critical realist accounts of emergence are flawed, nor that the contextual emergence tradition has significant improvements to offer.

ABSTRACTMany cellular processes and organismal behaviours are time‐dependent, and asynchrony of these phenomena can facilitate speciation through reinforcement mechanisms. The Mojave and Sonoran desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii and G. morafkai respectively) reside in adjoining deserts with distinct seasonal rainfall patterns and they exhibit asynchronous winter brumation and reproductive behaviours. We used whole genome sequencing of 21 individuals from the two tortoise species and an outgroup to understand genes potentially underlying these characteristics. Genes within the most diverged 1% of the genome (FST ≥ 0.63) with putatively functional variation showed extensive divergence in regulatory elements, particularly promoter regions. Such genes related to UV nucleotide excision repair, mitonuclear and homeostasis functions. Genes mediating chronobiological (cell cycle, circadian and circannual) processes were also among the most highly diverged regions (e.g., XPA and ZFHX3). Putative promoter variants had significant enrichment of genes related to regulatory machinery (ARC‐Mediator complex), suggesting that transcriptional cascades driven by regulatory divergence may underlie the behavioural differences between these species, leading to asynchrony‐based prezygotic isolation. Further investigation revealed extensive expansion of respiratory and intestinal mucins (MUC5B and MUC5AC) within Gopherus, particularly G. morafkai. This expansion could be a xeric‐adaptation to water retention and/or contribute to differential Mycoplasma agassizii infection rates between the two species, as mucins help clear inhaled dust and bacterial. Overall, results highlight the diverse array of genetic changes underlying divergence, adaptation and reinforcement during speciation.

ABSTRACTDrug‐resistant tuberculosis infections are a major threat to global public health. The essential mycobacterial ClpC1P1P2 protease has received attention as a prospective target for novel antibacterial therapeutics. However, efforts to probe its function in cells are constrained by our limited knowledge of its physiological proteolytic repertoire. Here, we interrogate the role of mycobacterial ClpS in directing N‐degron pathway proteolysis by ClpC1P1P2 in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis. Binding assays demonstrate that mycobacterial ClpS binds canonical primary destabilizing residues (Leu, Phe, Tyr, Trp) with moderate affinity. N‐degron binding restricts the conformational flexibility of a loop adjacent to the ClpS N‐degron binding pocket and strengthens ClpS•ClpC1 binding affinity ~30‐fold, providing a mechanism for cells to prioritize N‐degron proteolysis when substrates are abundant. Proteolytic reporter assays in M. smegmatis confirm degradation of substrates bearing primary N‐degrons, but suggest that secondary N‐degrons are absent in mycobacteria. This work expands our understanding of the mycobacterial N‐degron pathway and identifies ClpS as a critical component for substrate specificity, providing insights that may support the development of improved Clp protease inhibitors.
