The missing discipline: Foucault, discipline and family therapy
Authors: Rhodes‐Phillips Sam 
Published: December 2024

AbstractFamily therapists have used the philosophy of the French critical theorist Foucault to help us think in more sophisticated ways about a range of topics, including power, society and culture. However, his work includes another key concept which has been largely neglected in family therapy: that of discipline. In this article I undertake an exploration of discipline and suggest that, by considering this element of Foucault's work, we might be able to develop more sophisticated frameworks to think about how institutions and our clients' expectations of those institutions shape what happens in the therapy room. I conclude by offering a few ideas that gesture towards what that framework might look like in therapeutic practice.
New materialism(s) and systemic psychotherapy: Does it matter? (PART 1)
Authors: Albertini Federico Maria , Christiansen Jacob Cilius Vinsten , Loh Christopher , Nijabat Nasif 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper is one part of a two‐part series. Part one provides the theoretical groundwork for New Materialisms (NMs), while part two establishes the connections between these theoretical foundations and systemic practice. Therefore, the aim of this work is to delve into the core concepts of NMs in the field of systemic psychotherapy. Its genesis is inspired by our collaboration as doctoral students in systemic psychotherapy. New Materialisms represent a contemporary and heterogeneous movement that has emerged from the works of key proponents from diverse fields: philosophy (e.g. Deleuze and Guattari), anthropology (e.g. Viveiros de Castro and Ingold) and physics (e.g. Barad). They are characterised by a theoretical and practical ‘turn to matter.’ We will outline how NMs differentiate themselves from the ‘linguistic turn’ proposed by a moderate version of social constructionism, which we believe is endemic in much of systemic psychotherapy research and practice. We will discuss both the potential innovations that NMs could bring to the systemic psychotherapy field and the criticisms they could provoke. An invitation to consider the implications of NMs upon the systemic field is extended. Although we acknowledge that systemic psychotherapy and NMs are two disciplines driven by heterogeneous drivers, we posit that both are practices of freedom from stability and identity, which open up fields of differences where new possibilities for life can be invented.

AbstractPeru is the ninth‐largest coffee producer and the largest organic coffee exporter worldwide. Specific modifications in the microbial consortia during fermentation control the flavor of coffee. It is still unclear how fermentation duration affects microbial communities. This study aimed to provide insights into the diversity and functional behavior of the bacterial microbiome during coffee fermentation in northern Peru using shotgun metagenomics. Accordingly, metagenomic DNA was extracted and sequenced from samples of the liquid fraction during the short fermentation process (SFP) in Amazonas (6 and 12 h) and long fermentation process (LFP) in Cajamarca (6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 h). Our findings indicate that common (e.g., Acetobacter, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, and Weissella) and unique (e.g., Acidiphilium and Methylobacterium) acid‐tolerant bacteria from the SFP and LFP play crucial roles and have a positive impact on the sensory qualities of coffee. Specifically, the LFP from San Ignacio might be associated with the high sensory quality of coffee based on the release of catalytic, hydrolase, oxidoreductase, transferase, and transporter enzymes in the InterPro and KEGG profiles. Additionally, these bacterial microorganisms metabolize several compounds (e.g., isoleucine, betaine, galactose, tryptophan, arginine, and cobalamin) into volatile compounds, mainly in the LFP, enhancing the flavor and aroma of coffees. This characteristic suggests that the LFP has a stronger effect on coffee quality than does the SFP on the basis of bacterial diversity and functional prediction. These findings provide new perspectives on the potential biotechnological uses of autochthonous microorganisms to produce superior‐quality coffee beans from northern Peru.

AbstractBackground and aimsChild maltreatment is an important component of alcohol’s harm to others. No previous studies have assessed the association between multiple parental alcohol events and child maltreatment. This study aimed to measure the impact of parental alcohol‐attributable events on the incidence rate of child maltreatment events over the span of childhood and adolescence in New Zealand.Design, setting and participantsLongitudinal analysis using the birth cohort data of all live births (n = 58 359) in New Zealand in 2000, with the cohort followed until age 17 years using linked data from the Statistics New Zealand Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) from 1995 to 2017.MeasurementsZero‐inflated negative binomial and count regression models were used to measure the association between the number of child maltreatment events [collected from publicly funded hospital discharges, Programme for the Integration of Mental Health Data (PRIMHD), Oranga Tamariki, Children’s Action Plan (CAP) and police data sets] and parental exposure to alcohol‐attributable hospitalization or service use for mental health/addiction. Potential confounders were included for parents and children.FindingsOf 58 359 children in the cohort, 86% (50 319) had not experienced any documented maltreatment events. Among those at risk of being maltreated children, the maltreatment incidence rate ratio increased by 35.2% (95% confidence interval = 18.1–55.6%) if a child was exposed to parental alcohol‐attributable hospitalization or service use for mental health addiction events. For each additional parental alcohol‐attributable hospitalization or service use for mental health or addiction, the risk of being maltreated children increased by 12.8%.ConclusionsIn New Zealand, hazardous alcohol consumption by parents appears to be associated with child maltreatment alongside other contributing factors, in particular parental lower educational attainment.
Computers and chess masters: The role of AI in transforming elite human performance
Authors: Bilalić Merim , Graf Mario , Vaci Nemanja 
Published: December 2024

AbstractAdvances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in recent years, often supplementing rather than replacing human performance. The extent of their assistance at the highest levels of human performance remains unclear. We analyse over 11.6 million decisions of elite chess players, a domain commonly used as a testbed for AI and psychology due to its complexity and objective assessment. We investigated the impact of two AI chess revolutions: the first in the late 1990s with the rise of powerful PCs and internet access and the second in the late 2010s with deep learning‐powered chess engines. The rate of human improvement mirrored AI advancements, but contrary to expectations, the quality of decisions mostly improved steadily over four decades, irrespective of age, with no distinct periods of rapid improvement. Only the youngest top players saw marked gains in the late 1990s, likely due to better access to knowledge and computers. Surprisingly, the recent wave of neural network‐powered engines has not significantly impacted the best players – at least, not yet. Our research highlights AI's potential to enhance human capability in complex tasks, given the right conditions, even among the most elite performers.
Social and Cultural Influences on Parental Mediation of Digital Media Use in Azerbaijan
Authors: Savadova Sabina , Plowman Lydia 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTWe report on influences on Azerbaijani families' parental mediation strategies for managing young children's digital practices at home. Data were gathered with five families in 2019 and 2023 using the Living Journals approach. Both fathers and mothers revealed the influences of gender and cultural norms on parental mediation. Fathers held legislative power by making decisions about rules; mothers exercised executive power by implementing those rules but found the process of mediation to be in tension with their desire to be accepted as a ‘good mother’. The study revealed social and cultural influences on parents' mediation strategies that differ from those identified in countries in the Global North.

ABSTRACTOyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy was lacking for the European native species Ostrea edulis. Historical data provide a unique opportunity to develop a robust definition for this ecosystem type, confirm that O. edulis are large‐scale biogenic reef builders, and assess its current conservation status. Today, O. edulis occur as scattered individuals or, rarely, as dense clumps over a few m2. Yet historically, O. edulis reef ecosystems persisted at large scales (several km2), with individual reefs within the ecosystems present at the scale of several hectares. Using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems Framework, we conclude the European native oyster reef ecosystem type is collapsed under three of five criteria (A: reduction in geographic distribution, B: restricted geographic range, and D: disruption of biotic processes and interactions). Criterion C (environmental degradation) was data deficient, and Criterion E (quantitative risk analysis) was not completed as the ecosystem was already deemed collapsed. Our assessment has important implications for conservation policy and action, highlighting that the habitat definitions on which conservation policies are currently based reflect a highly shifted baseline, and that the scale of current restoration efforts falls far short of what is necessary for ecosystem recovery.

ABSTRACTMany alien species are safe in their native ranges, but some are threatened. This creates a conundrum for conservation and invasion science. We analyzed the distributions, introduction pathways, threats, and conservation strategies of threatened mammals with alien populations globally. We reassessed their hypothetical IUCN Red List category including the alien part of the range. Among 230 alien mammals, 36 are threatened in their native range, either critically endangered (17%), endangered (25%), or vulnerable (58%). These species were mainly introduced for hunting and exchanged within Asia, with introduced ranges concentrated in south‐eastern Asia and eastern Australia. They face multiple threats, particularly from biological resource use. Conservation strategies are mainly related to species management. Including alien populations in the assessments reduces extinction risk of 22% of the species. Although some of these alien populations may have conservation value, conservation managers should carefully consider them on a case‐by‐case basis to avoid negative impacts on biodiversity.

AbstractIntroductionHIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) still faces many barriers around the world. Additional barriers such as retesting or rescheduling for result analysis and prescription might lead to abandoning PrEP initiation altogether. We wanted to explore whether there would be a significant number of alert issues among people starting PrEP that would warrant more in‐depth clinical analysis before commencing PrEP safely.MethodsA retrospective medical data analysis of people who started PrEP at All Saints Clinic in Wroclaw, Poland between October 2017 and January 2021 was performed. Rapid (during the first visit) or delayed PrEP initiation was chosen at the discretion of the attending physician.ResultsA total of 308 people started PrEP in the analysed period and were included in the analysis. The median age was 33 years with 96.75% being men who have sex with men (MSM) and 68.5% opting for daily dosing at PrEP initiation. Most (n=233) started PrEP rapidly (i.e., during the first visit), whereas for 75 individuals the initiation was delayed by a median of 7 days. Logistic regression analysis showed that lack of test laboratory results, recent exposure or age over 50 years were reasons for delaying PrEP initiation. Median creatinine values increased from 0.93 mg/mL to 0.95 mg/mL 1 month after PrEP initiation. Despite being statistically significant (p = 0.0282, 95% CI 0.0015–0.027), the difference was not significant clinically.ConclusionsRapid PrEP initiation was feasible and safe while contraindications were rare. HIV infection exclusion before PrEP initiation can be streamlined by utilizing remote consultations and patient self‐interpretation of the results. Renal complications are either not clinically significant or occur rarely.

ABSTRACTElevated blood pressure has previously been associated with increased levels of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, studies on the relevance of EV cargos to hypertension are limited. Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is involved in many metabolic diseases and endothelial dysfunction pathological processes. This study aimed to explore the association of serum EV‐derived SPARC with hypertension incidence. We conducted a cross‐sectional study on 125 Chinese, including 76 hypertension patients and 49 normotensive patients. Serum EVs were prepared via ultracentrifugation. The concentrations of serum EV‐derived SPARC and serum SPARC were measured by Luminex Assay. The correlations between serum EV‐derived SPARC and clinical variables were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined the association of serum EV‐derived SPARC levels with hypertension. Interaction subgroup analysis was used to evaluate the interaction of the relevant baselines on the association between serum EV‐derived SPARC levels and hypertension. Our findings revealed that the levels of SPARC derived from serum EVs were markedly elevated in individuals with hypertension, averaging 20.60 ng/mL (p < 0.01), when contrasted with the levels observed in normotensive subjects, which were 14.25 ng/mL (p < 0.01) in average. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serum EV‐derived SPARC levels were positively associated with hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 1.095; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.031–1.163; p value, 0.003), after adjusting for confounding factors. Interaction subgroup analysis demonstrated that no significant interaction with hypertension was observed for any particular covariate. The present study reveals that the elevated levels of serum EV‐derived SPARC were independently associated with hypertension.
Development of a Colloidal Gold Immunochromatographic Strip for Specific Detection of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTPhotobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Pdp) is characterised by high infectivity and mortality and wide distribution, resulting in substantial economic losses to the global aquaculture industry. Therefore, it is critical to develop a simple, rapid and accurate diagnostic method for Pdp detection. Herein, two Pdp‐specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs 1H7 and 6E6) were obtained, indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence analysis confirmed that the mAbs specifically recognised the outer membrane of Pdp but could not recognise the other Gram‐positive or Gram‐negative bacteria, indicating good specificity. A colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip (CGICS) was developed here for Pdp detection by optimising the colloidal gold labeling and antibody coating conditions using 1H7 as a colloidal gold‐labelled antibody and 6E6 as a coated antibody. The CGICS exhibited a detection limit of 1 × 105 CFU/mL for Pdp and a detection time of 10 min. Cross‐reaction analysis revealed that the CGICS could specifically detect different Pdp isolates without cross‐reaction with the other bacterial species or the subspecies P. damselae subsp. damselae. Stability analysis revealed that the CGICS were stored in closed plastic packaging at 25°C and 4°C for more than 8 months. The CGICS retained their detection limit after 6 months at 4°C, and 4 months at 25°C. Using tissues from the experimentally challenged Lateolabrax maculatus, the CGICS and polymerase chain reaction revealed a 100% coincidence rate. These findings indicated that the established CGICS exhibits high specificity and sensitivity. It is rapid and simple for Pdp detection, making it a potential on‐site tool for Pdp detection in fish aquaculture.
The photosensitive endoplasmic reticulum‐chloroplast contact site
Authors: Maynard Sara N. , Griffing Lawrence R. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms contact sites with the chloroplast. Exposing contact sites that contain both the chloroplast and the ER to localised high‐fluence, wavelength specific, 405 nm violet light, hereinafter referred to as photostimulation, induces multiple, potentially interacting intra‐ and intercellular responses. The responses vary depending on the tissue type of the cell and the chloroplast. Photostimulating the ER‐chloroplast contact sites in growing epidermal cells of the hypocotyl of Arabidopsis thaliana, produces a wave of cytoplasmic ionic calcium that traverses the cell, spreading radially to other cells around the circumference of the hypocotyl. A transient ER stress accompanies the calcium wave. These responses occur in older epidermal cells (5–8 days post‐germination) with nonmotile chloroplasts tethered to the ER and the cell cortex but do not occur with motile or dividing chloroplasts. Dividing chloroplasts show a markedly different association with the ER, which forms a ring around the fission plane, similar to that of dividing mitochondria. Inhibition of calcium channels with lanthanum has no effect. Photostimulation of only the ER results in no ER stress and a calcium wave with a different spatiotemporal signature: delayed release and lower magnitude, with no accompanying ER stress response. Likewise, photostimulation of the chloroplast only, without the ER, produces no calcium wave or ER stress. General chloroplast photobleaching or restructuring caused by photostimulation is not the cause of this response; photostimulation with 488 nm of the same intensity and power as 405 nm photostimulation produces no change in cytosolic calcium levels. The pH of the ER decreases, indicating the involvement of ER ion transporters in the response. A wave of increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria and nuclei accompanies photostimulation. Together, these data support a model by which tethered ER‐chloroplast contact sites constitute a unique subcellular photosensitive region and are part of an ER‐mediated signalling network.Lay Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms contact sites with the chloroplast. Shining violet (405 nm) light on the chloroplast with its associated ER produces a calcium wave through the cell that is communicated to other cells. This is correlated with a wave of transient denaturation of the luminal proteins of the ER (ER stress) and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. The wavelength dependence and precise cellular location of the light stimulation implies a novel way for plants to sense light. The movement of the response through the cell is consistent with the mediation of the response by a subcellular network, such as that formed by the ER.
Deconstruction and Remodelling: A Grounded Theory Exploration of the Family Resilience of Disabled Elderly People in China
Authors: Zhang Kai , Li Dan 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTAims and ObjectivesThis study aims to understand the family experiences of disabled elderly people facing adversity from the perspective of family resilience and to develop a theoretical model to explain the constitution of family resilience.BackgroundFamily resilience is the ability of families to cope with, adapt to, and recover from significant stressors and challenges. Although some studies have focused on disabled elderly people, the components of their family resilience have received little attention.DesignA grounded theory.MethodsA total of 30 participants were selected by theoretical sampling, and all participants were from families with disabled elderly people in Chengdu, China. Data were obtained via semi‐structured interviews. The COREQ checklist for qualitative research was followed.ResultsA theoretical model of family resilience for disabled elderly people was established based on three categories: family organisation, family beliefs, and family relationships. Family organisations include the organisation model and resources; family beliefs include coping styles and adversity remodelling; and family relationships include communication and atmosphere.ConclusionsThese categories suggest that there are several similar components of family resilience for disabled elderly people, which can be used to understand how families cope with this challenging experience by adjusting their roles, resources, and perspectives. Our findings are believed to offer significant theoretical and practical implications for improving the resilience and well‐being of families with disabled elderly members, improving the effectiveness of caregiving services, and guiding strategies for disabled elderly individuals, their families, caregivers, and researchers.Relevance to Clinical PracticeHealthcare professionals must recognise that disability impacts not only the individual but also the entire family system. The process of disability is slowed by early intervention, and psychological counselling services are provided to relieve stress and anxiety. Training in practical skills can be provided to build social support networks to help them cope with challenges.
