Published: October 2024

AbstractMg1/3A11/3A21/3Ta2O6 ceramics (where A1 and A2 represent Co, Ni, or Zn) were prepared using the solid‐phase reaction route. The results of X‐ray diffraction and Raman tests showed that (Co1/2Ni1/2)2+, (Co1/ 2Zn1/2)2+, and (Ni1/2Zn1/2)2+ ions replaced Mg2+ ions in the lattice of MgTa2O6, resulting in the formation of a pure tri‐rutile structure. All three complex ions could significantly reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramics (by 150°C–200°C) and could broaden the sintering window. The large deviation (48.8%–69.2%) between the porosity corrected relative permittivity εr‐corr. and the theoretical relative permittivity εr‐theo. might be due to the overestimation of the ionic polarizability of Ta5+ by Shannon. (Co1/2Ni1/2)2+ has the most significant effect of increasing the bond energy of ceramic A–O bonds, reducing the τf value from 51 to 36 ppm/°C. In addition, the mechanisms affecting their dielectric properties are discussed based on bond ionicity (fi), full width at half maximum (FWHM) of Raman peak, and bond energy (E). Mg1/3Co1/3Ni1/3Ta2O6 ceramic sintered at 1350°C have the most excellent microwave dielectric properties: εr = 26.8, Q × f = 86,000 GHz, and τf = 36 ppm/°C.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo identify the determinants of family resilience in the recovery of individuals with schizophrenia using Walsh's family resilience framework.DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodsIn Northeast China, 403 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were enrolled for this study, assessing family resilience, family communication, social support, illness knowledge, hope and family functioning. Regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 27.0, and mediation effects were examined using Mplus 7.0.ResultsLogistic regression showed that female gender and having a sibling as a caregiver were negatively associated with family resilience, while a higher educational level was positively associated. Mediation analysis showed that family functioning and hope levels mediated the impact of family communication, social support and disease knowledge on family resilience, confirming their crucial roles.ConclusionFamily functioning and hope are central in mediating the relationships between family communication, social support, illness knowledge and family resilience in families dealing with schizophrenia.ImpactThe findings of this study enable psychiatric nurses and policymakers to devise intervention strategies that enhance family resilience among patients with schizophrenia, thereby facilitating their recovery and well‐being.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public engagement.
Can we work it out? Affordances and constraints for cultivating perspective‐taking in digital contexts
Authors: Goldfarb Cohen Shai , Dishon Gideon 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe rising importance of digital technologies in everyday communication has played a key role in processes of political polarization and rising mistrust and intolerance. We suggest this crisis could be productively conceptualized as a crisis in perspective‐taking—the tendency and competency to actively consider others' mental and emotional states.ObjectivesThis conceptual paper sets out to propose a theoretical framework that identifies the key affordances of digital platforms for promoting perspective‐taking in formal educational settings (K‐12 and higher education): (1) connecting diverse individuals, (2) simulating interactions with other perspectives and (3) supporting the articulation and sharing of perspectives.MethodsRather than summarizing the state of existing research, this paper aims to offer a novel conceptualization that allows unpacking the interplay between research on perspective‐taking and work on the affordances and constraints of digital media. We identify the three key affordances outlined above, exemplifying them by focusing on one type of digital tool and comparing them along two axes: (i) the depth vs. diversity of interactions it supports and (ii) its cultivation of intergroup perspective‐taking vs. interpersonal perspective‐taking.Results and ConclusionsThis framework, we argue, articulates the advantages and limitations of digital tools towards engagement in perspective‐taking, while providing a conceptual roadmap, and practical considerations, for researchers and practitioners interested in cultivating digitally mediated perspective‐taking in educational settings.

ABSTRACTIncidence of foodborne illness due to bacterial contamination of fresh produce continue to exist despite continuous research on processing interventions to mitigate the problem. In this study, we combined atmospheric cold plasma treatments with an antimicrobial solution containing specific organic acids generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA and tested its antimicrobial efficacy against Salmonella enterica inoculated on tomato surfaces. Tomato surfaces were inoculated with at 5.6 log CFU/g of Salmonella by spotting 0.1 mL of 7 log CFU/ml Salmonella onto the tomato stem scars, and by dipping whole tomatoes into a solution of 7 log CFU/ml Salmonella for 3 min to achieve 4.1 log CFU/g. Antimicrobial efficacy of the organic acid‐based sanitizer + cold plasma treatments for 30, 60, 120, 180, and 360 s, were investigated, and significant bacterial inactivation was achieved above 120 s treatments. At 120 s, surviving populations of aerobic mesophilic bacteria recovered on the tomatoes surfaces averaged < 2 logs/g while yeast and mold survival averaged < 1 CFU/g. Treatment combination with this organic acid‐based sanitizer + cold plasma for 120 s resulted in a 4.9 log reduction of Salmonella on the stem scar area and a 3.9 log reduction on the smooth peel surface. Similarly, populations of aerobic mesophilic bacteria recovered on treated tomato surfaces averaged < 0.3 log CFU/g. The results of this study indicate that combining an organic acid‐based sanitizer with cold plasma treatments for ≥ 120 s can inactivates significant populations of Salmonella to enhance the microbial safety of tomato surfaces designated for fresh‐cut salad.
The relationship between attachment insecurity and pathological narcissism: A three‐level meta‐analysis
Authors: Zhang Yihan , Zhang Juan , Wang Yihui 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe detrimental effects of pathological narcissism on individual development and intimate relationships have been widely studied. Although the exact origins of this phenomenon are still debated, the important role that family dynamics play in its emergence is increasingly being recognized. Previous researchers have pointed out that insecure attachment is associated with pathological narcissism; however, empirical findings are inconsistent. Hence, this study conducted a three‐level random‐effects meta‐analysis based on 183 effect sizes from 29 articles (N = 8247 participants). Our findings have demonstrated the significant and positive link between insecure attachment and pathological narcissism (r = .18; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.22; p < .001). In addition, a moderator analysis was carried out to explore factors that may weaken or strengthen the primary association of interest. In total, there are five significant moderators, including insecure attachment style (F(3,176) = 13.72; p < .001), measurement tool of attachment insecurity (F(8,171) = 4.59; p < .001), measurement tool of pathological narcissism (F(6,173) = 5.21; p < .001), percentage of participants identifying as male (F(1,174) = 4.04; p = .046), and age (F(1,178) = 19.94; p < .001). This research highlights the positive correlation between attachment insecurity and pathological narcissism, providing family theorists with insights into how early family experiences influence personality formation and guiding family therapists in interventions for narcissistic pathology.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIntroductionPrecision Health (PH) holds the promise of revolutionizing healthcare by enabling personalized disease prevention and management through the integration of genomic data, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and other social determinants of health (SDoH). However, the absence of a baseline assessment of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) of practicing nurses' capacity for PH hinders its integration. The purpose of this study is to determine the capacity of practicing Registered Nurses (RNs) for PH across the United States and to assess the validity and reliability of a tool designed for this use—the Precision Health Nurse Capacity Scale (PHNCS).Design/MethodA descriptive exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the capacity of practicing RNs for this evolving phenomenon, PH, using a convenience sample. The survey was sent via email and made available to all members of the American Nurses Association (ANA) who work in a variety of practice environments. The ANA represents the over 4 million nurses practicing in the United States.ResultsThe majority of nurse respondents felt it is important for nurses to become more educated about all aspects of PH including SDoH but they lack confidence in the integration of PH. The PHNCS was found to be a valid and reliable tool in measuring the capacity of nurses to practice PH.ConclusionThe incorporation of PH into nursing practice suffers an immediate impediment: the lack of know‐how of the US nursing workforce. This inaugural data on KSAs for PH establishes a logical baseline from which the requisite education and training should commence.Clinical relevancePrecision Health is an emerging healthcare approach in the United States and globally. Enabling it will require a nursing workforce prepared with the requisite KSAs. Determining the capacity of the nursing workforce is a foundational step to begin this process.
How much are we willing to pay for quality wine? A meta‐analysis and meta‐regression analysis

AbstractThis paper performs a meta‐analysis and a meta‐regression analysis on the price semi‐elasticity of wine quality ratings in the context of estimating hedonic price functions. To do so, we thoroughly search for publications that have estimated hedonic functions in this market, resulting in 223 articles estimating 1595 functions, although not all of them incorporate quality ratings. Additionally, 60 aspects of the different studies are coded, including sample characteristics, incorporated attributes, and other implemented methodological choices. The meta‐analysis is then performed, revealing evidence of selection and publication biases. Taking them into account, the price elasticity is found to be around 5%–6%, remaining robust to several robustness checks. The meta‐regression explores the unexplained heterogeneity in the price elasticities observed in the meta‐analysis. Results indicate that quality ratings are more influential in the context of red wines, and less important in the case of sparkling and organic wines. The nature of the data source matters, but generally not the type of price used except the ones obtained from auction and en primeur sales. The influence of the remaining attributes incorporated in the hedonic function is relatively small, except for other quality aspects, reputation, and environment. The econometric techniques used in the estimation do not affect the effect size. This is also the result found for the type of publication, except for studies published in books. Finally, we find that the most cited studies are those that show a smaller effect.

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDWe sought to determine the impact of school gardens and nutrition education on student fruit and vegetable consumption from limited‐income communities in Alabama.METHODSThird grade students at 99 Alabama schools with and without gardens on‐site were randomized to receive either nutrition education or to a wait‐list control group. Multi‐level models were used to assess the effects of treatment and control with and without school gardens.RESULTSStudents attending schools with gardens demonstrated highest consumption of fruits and vegetables prior to treatment. Nutrition education alone translated into significant dietary improvements. Both gardens and education translated into greatest dietary improvements.IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITYDevising financially accessible, practical, and culturally relevant ways to improve student health through garden and nutrition education may help improve student diet. Forming comprehensive Extension, SNAP‐Ed, and school collaboration to support gardens, nutrition education, and healthy school policies and systems can be a way to support and sustain healthy student learning environments.CONCLUSIONSCombined gardening and nutrition education is associated with increases in fruit and vegetable consumption among majority rural, Southern students from limited‐resource communities.

Published: October 2024

AimCreating an overview of the existing literature about peer support in paediatrics, with a focus on children with chronic diseases.MethodsAn online search was conducted in MEDLINE and Web of Science. English, Dutch or French articles published between 1 January 2000 and 10 May 2023 were included, based on title and abstract.ResultsIn this review, 47 articles were included, identifying following themes: Health‐Related Quality of Life (n = 8), peer support for parents/siblings (n = 6), social environment (n = 2), and peer support programme for children (n = 31) subdivided in: general concept (n = 13), online (n = 11), camps (n = 6), and development of a peer support programme (n = 1). Peer support aims to improve disease‐related knowledge, coping, and management of the disease, as well as creating a positive mindset and decreasing the disease burden. There is no consensus regarding which peer group design was superior.ConclusionsPeer groups aim to increase knowledge and psychological adaptation, and decrease physical symptoms and side effects. It is desired to start the peer mentor programme within 1 year after diagnosis or during a critical incident. Further investigation needs to determine the optimal age to start these groups and the format (online or in‐person). Communication between mentors and their mentees was crucial in the succeeding of the programme, as well as creating a safe environment to share experiences. Even though research is still needed concerning peer‐to‐peer support for children, there is already a lot known about similar programmes for parents of children with chronic diseases.

Published: October 2024

AimClinical registries are an important research tool to enhance our understanding of vision loss in the Australian paediatric population. We aim to provide an update on the epidemiology of visual impairment among Western Australian children using registry data analysis, and to highlight the challenges of registry data collection.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of visual impairment and blindness registrations of children aged 0–16 years in Western Australia from 1996 to 2015. Blindness was defined as visual acuity ≤6/60 in the better‐seeing eye or binocular visual field ≤20° diameter, with all other certifications labelled as visual impairment. Certificates were assessed for primary causes of vision loss by age strata and sex. Registration rate trends were analysed across three discrete registration periods.ResultsOf 11 800 certificates issued between 1996 and 2015, 728 certificates (6.2%) were issued to 710 children. Five hundred and twenty‐nine (74.5%) certificates were issued for visual impairment and 181 (25.5%) for blindness. The leading cause of certification was inherited retinal disease (73, 10.3%), followed by cortical visual impairment (57, 8.0%) and albinism (56, 7.9%). The annual registration rate of visual impairment increased from 0.5 to 9.8 per 100 000 person‐years across the study period, whereas blindness rates fell from 2.7 to 1.3.ConclusionsOverall registration rates of paediatric visual impairment in Western Australia are increasing, but these trends should be interpreted with caution given the known limitations of registry data. Enhancements of the registration process could be achieved through digitisation, inclusion of patient outcome data, and incentives for greater practitioner engagement.

AbstractPurposeTo examine factors associated with weight status underestimation and the relationship between weight status underestimation and weight loss as a weight management goal among adults living in the rural South.MethodsAn anonymous survey was distributed at six primary care clinics and two churches in rural, South Carolina counties. Weight status underestimation was determined based on the difference between perceived weight status using standard body mass index (BMI) categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) and BMI category from self‐reported height and weight. Participants reported whether their weight management goal was to lose, maintain, or gain weight. Chi‐square and binary logistic regressions were used for data analysis.FindingsA total of 185 respondents (76% female) at least partially completed the survey. Nearly 60% underestimated their weight status. Increasing BMI was associated with higher odds of weight status underestimation (OR: 1.10, 95%: 1.04, 1.15) and perceptions of being in fair or poor health was associated with lower odds of weight status underestimation relative to perceiving health as good or better (OR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.66). Among those with overweight and obesity, the association between underestimating weight status and having weight loss as a weight management goal was strong but not statistically significant (OR: 0.20, 95% CI: 0.04, 1.04).ConclusionsUnderestimating weight status was common among adults in the rural US South and was related to BMI and health status. Research is needed to determine if improving the accuracy of weight perceptions can promote weight management in the rural South.
Parental Sanctification, God Images, and Parental Happiness and Satisfaction in the United States
Authors: Upenieks Laura , Ellison Christopher G. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe goal of this study was to assess the relationship between non‐theistic parental sanctification and well‐being among parents, and whether parents’ primary images of God (authoritative, benevolent, critical, and distant) modified this relationship among American parents. Drawing on nationally representative data from the 2014 Baylor Religion Survey (N = 1078), our cross‐sectional results suggest that non‐theistic sanctification was linked to greater overall happiness and satisfaction in the parental role. We also found consistent evidence that the relationship between non‐theistic parental sanctification and greater happiness and parental satisfaction was stronger for individuals with either an authoritative or benevolent God image, and weaker among those with parents with a distant God image. The study of sanctification in conjunction with images of the divine offers one fruitful approach to understanding both the benefits and risks of integrating religion/spirituality into daily life.

AbstractBackgroundSkeletal dysplasia encompasses a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by an abnormal development of bones, joints, and cartilage. Two Chianina half‐sibling calves from consanguineous mating with congenital skeletal malformations and cardiac abnormalities were identified.Hypothesis/ObjectivesTo characterize the disease phenotype, to evaluate its genetic cause, and to determine the prevalence of the deleterious alleles in the Chianina population.AnimalsTwo affected calves, their parents and 332 Chianina bulls.MethodsThe affected animals underwent clinicopathological investigation. Whole‐genome sequencing trio‐approach and PCR‐based assessment of the frequency of TDP‐glucose 4,6‐dehydratase (TGDS) and laminin subunit alpha 4 (LAMA4) alleles were performed.ResultsThe cases presented with retarded growth, poor nutritional status associated with muscular atrophy and angular deformities of the hindlimbs. Radiologic examination identified generalized osteopenia and shortening of the limb long bones. Necropsy showed osteochondrodysplastic limbs and dilatation of the heart right ventricle. On histological examination, the physeal cartilages were characterized by multifocal mild to moderate loss of the normal columnar arrangement of chondrocytes. Osteopenia also was observed. Genetic analysis identified a missense variant in TGDS and a splice‐site variant in LAMA4, both of which were homozygous in the 2 cases. Parents were heterozygous and allele frequency in the Chianina population for the TGDS variant was 5% and for the LAMA4 variant was 2%.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceGenetic findings identified 2 potentially pathogenic alleles in TGDS and LAMA4, but no clear mode of inheritance could be determined.
