Non‐Status Citizenship and the Paradoxes of Immigration Regimes in a Sanctuary City
Authors: Gilbert Liette , Sotomayor Luisa 
Published: November 2024

AbstractNon‐status people face a socio‐legal precariousness that contradicts the promises of an inclusive city. Marking Toronto's tenth anniversary of its “sanctuary city” policy, our research assesses the progress and potential of social planning and municipalist agendas to support irregularised residents. Drawing from interviews with service providers, city officials, and non‐status citizens in Toronto, we propose a decolonial politics of urban citizenship recognition we call “non‐status citizenship”. This concept addresses specific paradoxes related to irregularisation, access, jurisdiction, and regularisation. By framing our discussion around these paradoxes, we highlight the discomfort and transformative potential of non‐status citizenship for immigration regimes in sanctuary cities. We argue that recognising non‐status citizenship goes beyond notions of urban citizenship to claim formal recognition and security, which resolves the four paradoxes theoretically, politically, and practically. We also emphasise the role of cities in expanding service delivery and calling out the failure of planning across levels of government.

SummaryVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease. Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) is linked to cardiovascular disease risk, but its potential association with VTE remains poorly understood. We assessed the prevalence of CH in patients with recurrent VTE (n = 107; median age [IQR] 57 [48–63] years, 44.9% female) and matched healthy controls (n = 127; median age [IQR] 53 [45–60] years, 51.2% female) to investigate a putative association of CH with VTE risk. We detected 12 CH‐associated mutations in 11 (10.3%) VTE cases and six mutations in 5 (3.9%) controls. Thus, patients with recurrent VTE tended to have higher odds of presenting with CH compared to controls (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 0.95–9.16). Moreover, the odds of detecting CH were significantly higher in VTE cases in the subgroup of individuals without thrombophilia (OR: 4.58, 95% CI: 1.48–15.99). VTE cases with CH showed elevated platelet counts compared to cases and controls without CH (median [IQR]: 292 [254–298], 223 [198–260] and 220 [185–259] × 109/L; both p < 0.01). Fibrinogen, sP‐selectin, D‐dimer and hsCRP levels did not differ according to CH status. Overall, we identified a trend for an association between CH and recurrent VTE, particularly in individuals without underlying thrombophilia, warranting further research in this patient group.
Detecting, Interpreting and Modifying the Heterogeneous Causal Network in Multi‐Source Event Sequences
Authors: Xu Shaobin , Sun Minghui 
Published: November 2024

AbstractUncovering causal relations from event sequences to guide decision‐making has become an essential task across various domains. Unfortunately, this task remains a challenge because real‐world event sequences are usually collected from multiple sources. Most existing works are specifically designed for homogeneous causal analysis between events from a single source, without considering cross‐source causality. In this work, we propose a heterogeneous causal analysis algorithm to detect the heterogeneous causal network between high‐level events in multi‐source event sequences while preserving the causal semantic relationships between diverse data sources. Additionally, the flexibility of our algorithm allows to incorporate high‐level event similarity into learning model and provides a fuzzy modification mechanism. Based on the algorithm, we further propose a visual analytics framework that supports interpreting the causal network at three granularities and offers a multi‐granularity modification mechanism to incorporate user feedback efficiently. We evaluate the accuracy of our algorithm through an experimental study, illustrate the usefulness of our system through a case study, and demonstrate the efficiency of our modification mechanisms through a user study.
How does parental diet affect offspring locomotor capacity in the bean bug, Riptortus pedestris?
Authors: Kwon Woomin , Lee Kwang Pum 
Published: November 2024

AbstractParental environments have profound consequences for offspring fitness through transgenerational transmission of resources and epigenetic factors. Locomotor activity is a functional trait of considerable ecological importance, as it determines the ability of animals to find food and mates and to disperse to more favourable environments. Although there have been studies demonstrating that animals can plastically increase their locomotor capacity in response to nutritionally stressful environments, it remains largely unexplored whether and how parental diet can adjust offspring locomotor capacity and its related traits. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the parental intake of a nutritionally suboptimal diet would induce hyperactivity in the offspring and that this transgenerational effect could lead to improved offspring performance in an insect herbivore, the bean bug (Riptortus pedestris Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Alydidae). We compared the locomotor activity, metabolic phenotype and performance traits of two groups of R. pedestris nymphs born to parents raised on soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr, Fabaceae; standard diet] or peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L., Fabaceae; high‐fat diet). Despite being smaller at birth, the offspring of peanut‐fed parents moved faster and more frequently than those of soybean‐fed parents during their early development. The newly hatched offspring born to peanut‐fed parents had higher relative energy reserves in somatic tissues than those born to soybean‐fed parents, indicating that differential parental provisioning could underpin this parental effect on offspring locomotor activity. Possibly through increased foraging activity, the hyperactive offspring of peanut‐fed parents grew faster into heavier adults than the offspring of soybean‐fed parents, implying that parentally induced increase in offspring locomotor activity is adaptive. This study provides experimental evidence for diet‐mediated transgenerational plasticity of locomotor activity in invertebrates and sheds novel insights into the role of parental diet history in shaping offspring phenotype.
New crop, new pest, old ants: Crop colonisation by native ants disrupt biological control of an invasive mealybug in Mediterranean persimmon

Abstract
Crop expansion is generally followed by an increase of herbivores. Some of these herbivore species can be favoured by mutualisms with ants that can also colonise introduced crops. Here, we hypothesized that the invasive mealybug Pseudococcus longispinus has established mutualistic relationships with native or exotic ants in Mediterranean persimmon crop. This relationship could negatively impact mealybug natural enemies and facilitate the colonisation of this new crop by the mealybug.
To test this hypothesis, we sampled 17 persimmon orchards from the main producing area of the Mediterranean basin across two consecutive years and three different seasons. We identified the ant complex attending Ps. longispinus, calculated the ant attendance ratios and assessed the density dependence between tending ants and Ps. longispinus at mealybug colony level. Finally, we evaluated the effect of ants on the density of Ps. longispinus and its natural enemies at tree level.
Fifteen ant species were found foraging in persimmon trees, out of which 11 attended Ps. longispinus colonies. The Mediterranean native species Lasius grandis, Pheidole pallidula and Plagiolepis spp. were the most abundant ant species in the canopies, and La. grandis was the most abundant species attending Ps. longispinus. This ant tended to attend large colonies of the mealybug in spring and summer.
Pseudococcus longispinus density was positively correlated with ant activity in persimmon trees, which can be partially explained by the negative effect of ants on the mealybug parasitism and the density of potential predators.
This study suggests that the density and damage caused by Ps. longispinus in Mediterranean persimmon are exacerbated by the attendance of native ants that disrupt mealybug biological control. Our results reinforce the hypothesis that ant attendance is a driving factor determining the density of honeydew‐producing herbivores and highlight that native ant species may facilitate the establishment and spread of exotic honeydew‐producing pests in new crops.
Evolucollateral dynamics in stroke: Evolutionary pathophysiology, remodelling and emerging therapeutic strategies
Authors: Sinha Akansha , Gupta Muskaan , Bhaskar Sonu M. M. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractLeptomeningeal collaterals (LMCs) are crucial in mitigating the impact of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) by providing alternate blood flow routes when primary arteries are obstructed. This article explores the evolutionary pathophysiology of LMCs, highlighting their critical function in stroke and the genetic and molecular mechanisms governing their development and remodelling. We address the translational challenges of applying animal model findings to human clinical scenarios, emphasizing the need for further research to validate emerging therapies—such as pharmacological agents, gene therapy and mechanical interventions—in clinical settings, aimed at enhancing collateral perfusion. Computational modelling emerges as a promising method for integrating experimental data, which requires precise parameterization and empirical validation. We introduce the ‘Evolucollateral Dynamics’ hypothesis, proposing a novel framework that incorporates evolutionary biology principles into therapeutic strategies, offering new perspectives on enhancing collateral circulation. This hypothesis emphasizes the role of genetic predispositions and environmental influences on collateral circulation, which may impact therapeutic strategies and optimize treatment outcomes. Future research must incorporate human clinical data to create robust treatment protocols, thereby maximizing the therapeutic potential of LMCs and improving outcomes for stroke patients.
Central amygdala‐to‐pre‐Bötzinger complex neurotransmission is direct and inhibitory
Authors: Gu Jeffrey , Sugimura Yae K. , Kato Fusao , Del Negro Christopher A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBreathing behaviour is subject to emotional regulation, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate a direct relationship between the central amygdala, a major output hub of the limbic system associated with emotional brain function, and the brainstem pre‐Bötzinger complex, which generates the fundamental rhythm and pattern for breathing. The connection between these two sites is monosynaptic and inhibitory, involving GABAergic central amygdala neurons whose axonal projections act predominantly via ionotropic GABAA receptors to produce inhibitory postsynaptic currents in pre‐Bötzinger neurons. This pathway may provide a mechanism to inhibit breathing in the context of freezing to assess threats and plan defensive action. The existence of this pathway may further explain how epileptic seizures invading the amygdala cause long‐lasting apnea, which can be fatal. Although their ultimate importance awaits further behavioural tests, these results elucidate a link between emotional brain function and breathing, which underlies survival‐related behaviour in mammals and pertains to human anxiety disorders.

AbstractBackground and purposeMidline sacral meningeal cysts (MSMCs) are cerebrospinal fluid‐filled dural diverticula. Although widely considered asymptomatic, cases involving voiding difficulties or pain have been reported. The aims of this study were, firstly, to describe the clinical presentation of patients with symptomatic MSMCs, secondly, to assess the impact of the cyst on nerve root function, and, thirdly, to assess whether nerve root injury is more frequent in patients with MSMCs than those with Tarlov cysts (TCs).MethodsConsecutive patients with MSMCs presenting with at least one pelvic symptom participated in a cross‐sectional review of symptoms using validated questionnaires. Findings of pelvic neurophysiology (pudendal sensory evoked potentials, sacral dermatomal sensory evoked potentials, external anal sphincter electromyography) and urodynamic testing were collected retrospectively. The relationship between neurophysiology, magnetic resonance imaging findings and patients' symptoms were assessed using Fisher's and analysis of variance tests. Neurophysiology findings were compared with those of TC patients.ResultsEleven female patients were included (mean age 42.3 ± 12.4 years). All reported urinary symptoms. Back pain (91%), radicular leg pain (91%), bowel symptoms (45%) and sexual dysfunction (75%) were also frequently reported. Nine patients (82%) had abnormal findings on neurophysiology; three patients (27%) had one abnormal test, and six (55%) had two abnormal tests. Patients with MSMCs were more likely to have at least two abnormal neurophysiology test results compared to TC patients (55% vs. 18%, respectively; p = 0.018).ConclusionOur results indicate that MSMCs are indeed associated with injury to the sacral somatic innervation when symptomatic. MSMCs are more likely to cause sacral nerve root damage compared to TCs.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo consider teamworking in dentistry, focusing especially on the role of dental hygienists (DHs) and dental therapists (DTs) as part of the dental team.MethodsA narrative review of studies that have investigated teamworking in periodontology and dentistry in general together with consideration of examples of relevant regulatory and governmental policy documents.ResultsThe inclusion of DHs and DTs as key members of the dental team yields significant patient benefits in terms of access to care (particularly among under‐served populations), efficient and effective treatment and improved healthcare outcomes for patients. However, barriers can exist to full implementation of effective working in dental teams, including both systemic and regulatory barriers, as well as attitudinal barriers. Furthermore, DHs and DTs are not always working to their full scope of practice, thereby limiting the care that these team members can provide. Mutual respect between dental team members, high‐quality communication and a common ethos and shared clinical standards are all essential for effective teamworking. DHs and DTs have a clear role to play in achieving sustainable improvements in oral and dental health for patient populations globally.ConclusionFull and effective integration of DHs and DTs into healthcare teams will benefit not only the dental team, but also healthcare systems and patient populations, via more effective teamworking, improved access to care and enhanced treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACTAimThe main purpose of this study was to investigate the potential mediating role of job burnout in the relationship between organisational support and quiet quitting among nurses. Additionally, this study aimed to determine the associations between organisational support, job burnout and quiet quitting.DesignThis study was a descriptive, cross‐sectional study.MethodsThis descriptive and cross‐sectional study included a total of 383 nurses. The convenience sampling method was used, and the study was conducted in Türkiye. Self‐reported measures, which included organisational support, job burnout and the quiet quitting scale, were completed by using an online version of the scale.ResultsStatistically significant associations were found between organisational support, job burnout and quiet quitting. Organisational support had a significant negative effect on quiet quitting. Additionally, job burnout had a positive effect on quiet quitting behaviour. Moreover, job burnout partially mediated the relationship between organisational support and quiet quitting.ConclusionThe findings highlight the importance of considering job burnout as a critical factor in mitigating the positive effect of organisational support on quiet quitting. Prioritising the job burnout of healthcare workers plays a significant role in reducing quiet quitting behaviour through organisational support.ImpactThis study focused on how organisational support and burnout interact with quiet quitting, which is a current issue among nurses, and explained the mediating role of job burnout in the relationship between organisational support and quiet quitting. The main findings of this research provide evidence that organisational support influences quiet quitting behaviour. Similarly, job burnout affects quiet quitting behaviour. Moreover, job burnout plays a mediating role in the relationship between organisational support and quiet quitting behaviour. It has been proven that job burnout is a significant barrier to the impact of organisational support in reducing quiet quitting behaviour. This research will have an impact on the management and strategic planning of healthcare organisations.Reporting MethodSTROBE reporting method has been followed.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundBehavioural problems in individuals with intellectual disabilities have a negative impact on them. Limited assessment measures exist in Spain. This study aimed to validate the Behavior Problems Inventory‐Short Form (BPI‐S) in the Spanish population by examining its psychometric properties and factorial structures.MethodThis study included 458 individuals with intellectual disabilities evaluated by 137 professionals. The validity and reliability of the scale were examined.ResultsThe validity of the measurement tool confirmed a three‐factor model. Significant correlations were observed between problem behaviours and maladaptive behaviour indicators, with negative associations found between problem behaviours and adaptive behaviour scores.ConclusionsThe Spanish version of the BPI‐S demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validities. The most common behaviours were identified, and the scale was refined to 28 items. The three‐factor model showed an acceptable fit. Further research is required to establish clinical norms and explore the factorial structures.
