Stigma towards individuals who self harm: impact of gender and disclosure
Authors: Lloyd Brendan , Blazely Alexandra , Phillips Lisa 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is reasonably common, particularly among young people with prevalence rates of up to 25 per cent reported. Many factors contribute towards NSSI, including depression, anxiety and history of abuse and NSSI is a risk factor for suicide. Many people who engage in NSSI do not seek help, potentially due to concern about sigmatising attitudes. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of gender and disclosure on stigmatising attitudes towards individuals who engage in NSSI.

Design/methodology/approach
Participants were 384 first-year university students (77.4 per cent female; mean age 19.50 years (SD=3.53)) who completed measures of stigmatising attitudes in response to vignettes featuring individuals who engaged in self-harming behaviour. Vignettes varied in the gender of the individual as well as whether the NSSI was disclosed or not.

Findings
The results support the attribution model of public discrimination in relation to NSSI stigma. Perceptions of higher personal responsibility for NSSI behaviour and higher levels of danger and manipulation were positively associated with stigmatizing attitudes and behaviours. Male research participants reported significantly higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes and behaviours than females.

Social implications
The level of stigmatising attitudes towards individuals who engage in NSSI is significant and may impact on help-seeking behaviour.

Originality/value
Between 10 and 25 per cent of adolescents engage in some form of NSSI, but only a minority seek help to address this behaviour. This study suggests that attitudes by peers may influence help-seeking. Further research is required outside of tertiary education settings.

Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to accelerate the fermentation process of minced mackerel fish (Scomber scombrusL.) mixed thoroughly with 20 per cent salt (w/w) and hydrolyzed by 0.2 and 0.4 per cent bromelain at 37°C.Design/methodology/approachS. scombrusL. was mixed thoroughly with 20 per cent salt (w/w) and hydrolyzed by the bromelain at levels of 0.2 and 0.4 per cent at 37°C. The physicochemical and sensory properties were evaluated after 60 and 90 days.FindingsIn a comparison of all of the aforementioned treatments, the results showed that the samples with higher bromelain levels (0.4 per cent) had higher concentrations of formal nitrogen (622 mg/100 mL) and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N, 0.3 g/dL) after 90 days of fermentation (p <0.01) . The sample with 0.4 per cent bromelain showed total free amino acids content of 13.3 g/100 g after 90 days of fermentation (p <0.01). High levels of total fatty acids (15.6 mg/100 g) were found in samples treated with 0.4 per cent bromelain and allowed to ferment for 90 days (p <0.01). The sauce colour became significantly highly saturated (p <0.01) with the increase in fermentation time. Chroma was significantly increased by 44 and 66 per cent in fermented sauce samples with 0.2 and 0.4 per cent bromelain during fermentation for as long as 90 days (p <0.01). Moreover, the addition of bromelain (0.4 per cent) resulted in mackerel fish sauce that was organoleptically preferred at the end of fermentation.Originality/valueThe results showed that an acceptable fish sauce could be produced from mackerel fish with supplementation with 0.4 per cent of bromelain, which reduced the fermentation time to 90 days and resulted in the most satisfactory results without compromising the product quality.
Patrol career interest and perceptions of barriers among African-American criminal justice students
Authors: Rossler Michael T. , Scheer Charles , Suttmoeller Michael J. 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether black and African-American criminal justice students perceive barriers to a police patrol career differently than white students, and whether the perceptions of these barriers impact desire to enter a police patrol career.Design/methodology/approachThe current inquiry uses a self-administered survey of over 630 undergraduate students in criminal justice classes across five public universities.FindingsFindings suggest that African-American students differ significantly from white students in perceived social disapproval of patrol careers, respect for police and perceptions of whether the police engage in racial profiling. These perceptions display a significant indirect relationship indicating lower patrol career interest for black and African-American students compared to all other races.Research limitations/implicationsResearch limitations of the current inquiry include the lack of a nationally representative sample, the use of four-year university students as a sample to represent the potential police patrol applicant pool, and the use of a survey instrument to gauge respondent beliefs about patrol careers as opposed to actions they would take in pursuit of a police career.Practical implicationsFindings from the current inquiry indicate that departments may need to focus more on improving global perceptions of the police and discussing the nature of the career with recruit social support structures. Police recruiters should focus on techniques such as addressing social isolation experienced by the police rather than on decreasing standards for background checks or simply increasing awareness of police careers.Originality/valueThe current inquiry is one of the first to explore perceptions of barriers to entering a patrol career among CJ students. It is also among the first to examine the impact these perceptions have on patrol career interest. The findings may also help criminal justice instructors more fully discuss these barriers with students of color.
Composing identities: using digital documentary shorts to explore social issues
Authors: Pytash Kristine , Hawley Todd , Morgan Kate 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential of using digital shorts (Pytash et al., 2017) focusing on social issues in social studies classrooms.

Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative case study is used in this study.

Findings
Digital shorts focused on important social issues, and included their beliefs and perspectives about their social issue, as well as insights into their developing identities as citizens. The authors’ findings demonstrate how this assignment can be the gateway for discussions regarding social issues, how students perceive their identities tied to contemporary social issues, and how they make sense of these issues within multimodal compositions.

Research limitations/implications
The findings from this research have implications for researching the effectiveness of digital media production analysis for students’ learning of social issues.

Practical implications
The findings from this research have implications for exploring how digital media production analysis can be incorporated into social studies courses.

Originality/value
Although the push for social studies teachers to provide spaces for students to demonstrate these capacities, few examples exist in the literature.
Is the free press free? Using truth claims to examine fake news
Authors: Clabough Jeremiah , Pearcy Mark 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship dynamics between the executive office and the free press; and how these dynamics have been altered under the Trump administration. Donald Trump has questioned the validity and accuracy of claims, even going as far to call some organizations (CNN and The New York Times) “fake news.” The authors discuss the historically contentious relationship between the executive office and the free press as well as the ways in which Donald Trump has altered the dynamics of this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the authors explore the role of the free press in American politics. The authors designed two classroom-ready activities by drawing on the best teaching practices advocated for in the C3 Framework. To elaborate, both activities allow students to research and analyze arguments made by Donald Trump and challenge false claims. This enables students to engage in the four dimensions of the Inquiry Arc in the C3 Framework.

Findings
The authors provide two activities that can be utilized in the high school social studies classroom to enable students to dissect American politicians’ messages. These two activities can be adapted and utilized to enable students to examine political candidate’s messages. By completing the steps of these two activities, students are better prepared to be critical consumers of political media messages and take civic action to challenge false claims.

Originality/value
Donald Trump has attempted to undermine the free press in the USA. He objects to stories that do not paint his administration in a positive light. This manuscript uses the media literacy position statement from NCSS and Ochoa-Becker’s framework for truth claims to explore Trump’s statements and claims.
Social studies teacher educators who do race work
Authors: Demoiny Sara B. 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how 11 social studies teacher educators (SSTEs) incorporated race into their social studies methods courses. It examines the instructional practices of the SSTEs using racial-pedagogical-content-knowledge (RPCK) as an analytical framework.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper is a qualitative interview study. The data sources included two 40–90 min semi-structured interviews per participant, methods course syllabi and reading lists, and university documents such as departmental mission statements and program course requirements. Data were analyzed using three cycles of coding: descriptive coding, focused coding and analytic generalizations.

Findings
The paper illustrates how the SSTEs incorporated race into their social studies methods courses through developing counter-narrative content knowledge, modeling the application of critical race theory tenets through pedagogical content knowledge, and cultivating a working racial knowledge among pre-service teachers.

Originality/value
This paper extends the literature of the RPCK framework through illustrating many ways each component of RPCK can be applied within a social studies methods course.
Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr Lesson
Authors: Miller KayLaura , Hubbard Janie 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr is a timeless book well-known among K-6 teachers, students, librarians and book-lovers throughout the USA. This multi-award winning picture book provides readers with insight into Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s life and the oppression and progress of African Americans before and during an era known as the modern US Civil Rights Movement (CRM). The biography outlines the period’s equity issues, and serves as a springboard for this upper elementary lesson. While Dr King played an iconic role, there were many other individuals involved in the CRM, most of whom students do not know. The purpose of this paper is to offer varying perspectives related to lesser known CRM leaders, protesters, advocates, perpetrators and bystanders.

Design/methodology/approach
Technology is incorporated through online research, videos and productions; thus, students actively engage in making connections to various individuals’ points of view, those both supportive and oppositional. Students conduct research while responding to higher-order, critical-thinking questions regarding groups and forces of the CRM. Then, they expand knowledge through jigsaw research activities by collecting information, responding to inquiry questions and presenting relevant evidence-based information about CRM contributors, perpetrators and bystanders.

Findings
This is a National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) Notable Tradebook Lesson Plan.

Originality/value
This is a NCSS Notable Tradebook Lesson Plan.
Association between nutrient patterns and serum lipids in Chinese adult women: A cross‐sectional study
Authors: Zhang Jian , Tan Shengjie , Zhao Ai , Wang Meichen , Wang Peiyu , Zhang Yumei 
Published: October 2018

AimTo investigate the association between patterns of nutrient intake and serum lipids in Chinese women aged 18–80 years.MethodsIn the present study, cross‐sectional data were analysed from 2886 female participants aged 18–80 years from the China Health and Nutrition Survey wave 2009. Nutrient patterns were identified using factor analysis combined with cluster analysis based on the data of nutrient intake for three consecutive days. Multivariate linear regression models were used to estimate the association of nutrient patterns with serum lipids.ResultsFour nutrient patterns were identified in Chinese adult women, which were the plant‐based pattern, carbohydrate and animal fat pattern, plant fat and sodium pattern, and the animal‐based pattern. Participants following different patterns varied significantly in sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviours and food consumption. Compared with the plant‐based pattern, the carbohydrate and animal fat pattern was positively associated with low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (β = 4.57, 95% CI: 0.29–8.85, P = 0.036) and total cholesterol (β = 4.89, 95% CI: 0.34–9.44, P = 0.035). The corresponding rises for the animal‐based pattern were 4.91 (95% CI: 0.99–8.82, P = 0.014) and 4.98 (95% CI: 0.82–9.15, P = 0.019), respectively.ConclusionsNutrient patterns with a high intake of animal fat and a low intake dietary fibre and with high intakes of animal fat, animal protein and cholesterol may increase the serum cholesterol in Chinese women.
Scientific Evidence on Functional Food and Its Commercial Communication: A Review of Legislation in Europe and the USA
Authors: González‐Díaz Cristina , Gil‐González Diana , Álvarez‐Dardet Carlos 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis study aims at understanding how scientific evidence to substantiate nutrition and health claims in food commercial communication is regulated in Europe and the USA. A literature review was performed on the scientific evidence required by the European Food Safety Authority and the US Food and Drug Administration to substantiate food nutrition and health claims. Studies published in Scopus, Medline, Scirus, and Google Scholar from 2007 to 2012 were reviewed as well as documents released by both agencies. A total of 38 documents met our inclusion criteria out of 743 documents initially identified during our search. These agencies provide general guidelines on how to conduct food and health studies, intended to demonstrate a cause‐and‐effect relationship between a given food and a benefit to health. Despite this, they need to broaden the depth and scope of the guidelines provided to companies seeking to substantiate their claims and to provide further and more precise information concerning the evaluation of studies and application processes. No review has hitherto specifically focused on the subject of scientific evidence required by EU and US food agencies to substantiate health claims. This research thus leads to significant recommendations on how to improve current food industry guides.

AbstractAimThe effectiveness and safety of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have not been fully validated in Japanese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the clinical setting. This study evaluated the short‐term effectiveness and continuation rate of HCQ therapy in Japanese patients with SLE in the clinical setting for 12 months.MethodsThe primary endpoint was defined as the continuation rate up to 12 months after the introduction of HCQ in 122 patients with SLE. The secondary endpoints included changes in the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) index, and the effect on concomitant corticosteroid (CS) dose reduction.ResultsThe primary endpoint, continuation rate up to 12 months after the introduction of HCQ, was 79.5%. Of 25 patients who discontinued HCQ, 23 patients terminated the therapy within 2 months. The secondary endpoints (SLEDAI, BILAG index, and concomitant CS dose [mg/day, prednisolone equivalent]) all showed a significant decrease. SLEDAI and BILAG index scores indicated significant improvement during the remission induction phase, maintenance phase, and HCQ monotherapy phase.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggested that, with attention paid to possible adverse events immediately after initiation, HCQ may be initiated as a mainstay of SLE therapy in Japanese patients, either as a concomitant medication in the remission induction phase, as a maintenance therapy, or as a monotherapy.

AbstractAimIn order to increase diagnostic sensitivity for early disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), new classification criteria were approved in 2010 by the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism. One of the criteria, a high‐positive rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti‐citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) level, was given a high score of 3. However, the increased prevalence of RF in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection markedly diminishes the diagnostic specificity of serum RF for RA in these patients. There are no published data on the prevalence and predictive value of high‐positive RF and ACPA; thus, we investigated high‐positive RF and ACPA levels in nonarthritic patients with chronic HCV infection.MethodAnti‐citrullinated protein antibody and total RF were determined in serum from nonarthritic patients with chronic HCV infection (all had HCV RNA viremia).ResultIn 271 HCV‐infected patients, positive RF, positive ACPA, high‐positive RF, and high‐positive ACPA were detectable in 47.2%, 1.1%, 8.9% and 1.1%, respectively. In these patients, fatty liver was an independent factor for high‐positive RF.ConclusionIn contrast to RF, ACPA is not increased in HCV infection. High‐positive RF is not unusually present in nonarthritic patients with chronic HCV infection. ACPA may have improved value for the diagnosis of RA in this patient population. In patients with HCV infection, fatty liver may be a risk factor for high‐positive RF.

AbstractAimTo study the influence of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) on the expression of peripheral blood programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) and its ligand (PD‐L1) in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).MethodTen patients with new‐onset pSS were selected as the experimental group and were treated with 1.8 g of TGP (the main ingredient is Radix Paeoniae Alba) daily for 3 months; furthermore, 10 physically healthy individuals were selected as the control group. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated, and flow cytometry was used to detect PD‐1 expression on the surface of CD4+ T and CD8+ T lymphocytes and PD‐L1 expression on the surface of CD14+ monocytes and CD19+ B cells before and after treatment in the experimental and control groups. Furthermore, plasma levels of soluble PD‐1 (sPD‐1), interleukin (IL)‐10, and IL‐17A were also determined using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsThe PD‐1 expression on the surface of CD4+ T and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with pSS were significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.001). However, PD‐L1 expression on the surface of CD14+ monocytes declined but not significantly (P > 0.05), and PD‐L1 expression on the surface of CD19+ B cells increased significantly (P < 0.001). Moreover, sPD‐1 and IL‐17A levels in the plasma of the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.001), but the IL‐10 level was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.001). After TGP treatment, PD‐1 expression on the surface of CD4+ T and CD8+ lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with pSS had decreased significantly (P < 0.001); the PD‐L1 expression on the surface of CD19+ cells had decreased significantly (P < 0.001); and the PD‐L1 expression on the surface of CD14+ monocytes did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). Furthermore, the levels of sPD‐1 and IL‐17A in plasma had decreased (P < 0.01) and IL‐10 levels had increased after TGP treatment (P < 0.01).ConclusionPD‐1/PD‐L1 molecules expressed on the surface of T cells, B cells, and monokaryon participated in the pathogenesis and development of SS through interactions. Therefore, TGP, which may increase the expression of PD‐1 and its relevant ligand PD‐L1 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, may play a role in the pathogenesis and development of SS through the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway by regulating regulatory T cells/T helper cell 17.

Published: October 2018

AbstractAimGout is a common complication in kidney transplant recipients. This study evaluated the association between kidney transplant recipients and the long‐term risk of incident gout.MethodFor this age‐matched and sex‐matched retrospective cohort study, the Catastrophic Illness Certificate Database and the National Health Insurance Research Database were combined between 1997 and 2010. The study included 5917 patients with kidney transplants and 23 668 matched kidney transplant‐free subjects. Hazard ratio (HR) for risk of incident gout was calculated using the Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsIn this study, of the 5917 kidney transplant recipients, 521 (8.8%) had gout. The kidney transplant group had a higher risk of incident gout than those in the matched kidney transplant‐free group (adjusted HR = 1.55, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.36‐1.77), particularly within 3 years following kidney transplant recipients (adjusted HR = 2.61, 95% CI = 2.13‐3.20). We observed that at the >3 to 6 years and the >6 to 9 years follow‐up, patients with kidney transplant did not have a significant association with risk of incident gout (adjusted HR = 0.92, P = 0.4806 and adjusted HR = 1.26, P = 0.1901, respectively).ConclusionThese findings revealed that risk of incident gout increased within 3 years following kidney transplant recipients and the individual's long‐term risk of incident gout between kidney transplant recipients and the general population remained similar.
