Old Stories, New Words – Multilingualism in a Colonised Space/Place
Authors: Edwards Natalie , Hogarth Christopher , Dank Debra 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
An experienced educator in various states of Australia, Debra Dank has recently found considerable acclaim as a writer. Her memoir, We Come With This Place, won a record-breaking four state awards in New South Wales in 2023 and was shortlisted for the national Stella prize for writing by Australian women in all genres. A plurivocal, polyphonic memoir from the Gudanji country in north-eastern Australia, Dank’s work is an outgrowth from a PhD dissertation in narrative theory and semiotics. In this interview, Dank discusses her linguistic heritage, which combines Standard Australian English with several Indigenous languages of Australia. She also outlines her perception of the place that Indigenous languages hold in the popular imagination in Australia and her attempts to challenge understandings of Indigenous linguistic history. In particular, she develops several new terms to help understand the interactions and impact of languages and cultures upon one another in Australia over thousands of years.
Towards an Ethics of Linguistic Accuracy in Literature
Authors: Rosenwald Lawrence A. 
Published: September 2024

This Forum, appearing in each issue of the Journal of Literary Multilingualism, aims to continue the conversation started in the very first issue, where we collected articles which assessed and debated the field of Literary Multilingualism Studies. The Forum is a space for shorter, more informal reflections on the field and its future: position papers, dialogues between scholars, roundtable discussions, responses to articles within the journal, and responses to recent multilingualism conferences or events. We welcome proposals for contributions, particularly from marginalized perspectives or on neglected aspects of literary multilingualism. Please contact us directly to discuss ideas.
For this Forum, we invited Lawrence A. Rosenwald to review his thoughts on the role of what he calls “linguistic accuracy” in multilingual literature through an ethical lens. To what extent does it matter whether literary works accurately represent how languages are used, such as in the representation of protagonists’ speech? In his analysis of a wide range of examples, Rosenwald argues that accuracy does indeed matter – with inaccuracy immediately raising problems of cultural representation.

Introduction: Supported accommodations (SAs) are key components of community mental health care, but little is known about residents’ care pathways. This study analysed the care pathways of residents of SAs, and factors associated with their age of entry and length of stay. Methods: A random sample of SAs’ residents in Portugal was interviewed and a questionnaire was specifically developed to assess their care pathways. Associations between sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, age of entry and length of stay, were analysed using hierarchical regression. Results: Overall, 213 residents of 43 different SAs participated. Their mean age was 55 years. Most were male, single, pensioners and had early-onset psychotic disorders. On average, they integrated the current SA at around 50 years old and had a 4.5 year length of stay. Most participants had been in another SA before (35.0% in more supported, 33.8% in less supported and 6.3% in similarly supported SAs). Conclusions: Findings suggest that residents spend several years in the residential pathway, with a significant proportion moving to more supported SAs. This calls for increasing the number of SAs with different typologies and developing coordinated community supports.

Background: Food insecurity, a pervasive global issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has been linked to adverse mental health outcomes. However, the role of social capital in mitigating this relationship remains understudied, particularly in the Chinese context. Aims: This study investigated the associations between food insecurity and psychological distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms) and examined the potential moderating effects of bonding and bridging social capital among Chinese adults in Shanghai. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 3,220 Chinese adults (mean age: 34.45; 51.5% male) in Shanghai. Food insecurity was assessed using the modified Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, psychological distress was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and social capital was evaluated using the Revised Personal Social Capital Scale. Results: Multivariable linear regression analyses revealed that food insecurity was significantly positively associated with both depressive (β = 0.449, SE = 0.024) and anxiety symptoms (β = 0.391, SE = 0.022), after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and COVID-19-related factors. Higher levels of bonding and bridging social capital were significantly associated with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms. Significant interactions ( p < .001) between bonding social capital and food insecurity indicated that the associations between food insecurity and psychological distress were less pronounced among adults with higher bonding social capital. Conclusions: These findings highlight the critical role of food insecurity as a risk factor for psychological distress and the importance of bonding social capital in mitigating its impact on mental health. Policies and interventions targeting food insecurity prevention and bonding social capital enhancement may promote better mental health outcomes among Chinese adults.
Risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation among Saudi adolescents: A network analysis
Authors: El Keshky Mogeda El Sayed 
Published: September 2024

Background: Suicide is among the leading cause of death in adolescence and suicidal ideation is its most critical precursor. Suicidal ideation being a complex phenomenon involving multiple factors, this study aimed to use network analysis to depict the interplay of risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation. Methods: An online survey was conducted with 614 Saudi adolescents (mean age = 16.16, SD = 1.88, range = 12–18, 61% female). Participants completed instruments to assess suicidal ideation, bullying victimization and perpetration, psychache, family cohesion and adaptability, positive parenting, and multidimensional social support. A psychological network analysis was estimated to determine the most central risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation. Results: As per strength and expected influence centrality, the risk factors that were central were psychache and bullying victimization, and the central protective factors were family cohesion and support from significant other. The network analysis showed that other factors directly connected with suicidal ideation were bullying perpetration, family adaptability, positive parenting, support from family, and support from friends. Conclusion: This network study highlights the importance of addressing both risk and protective factors in an attempt to deal with suicidal ideation. The findings suggest that interventions targeting psychological pain, bullying, and family bonds may be crucial in the treatment and prevention of suicidal ideation among adolescents.

Published: September 2024

Background: Patients with bipolar disorder benefit from guidelines recommended continuous community-oriented psychiatric and somatic healthcare, but often discontinue psychiatric care. Aims: The first objective was to identify predictive factors of discontinuity of psychiatric care among patients who had received psychiatric care. The second objective was to examine if practice variation in discontinuity of psychiatric care existed between providers of psychiatric care. Method: Registry healthcare data were used in a retrospective cohort study design using logistic regression models to examine potential predictive factors of discontinuity of care. Patient-related predictive factors were: age, sex, urbanization, and previous treatment (type and amount of psychiatric care, alcohol, and opioid treatment). Patients already diagnosed with bipolar disorder were selected if they received psychiatric care in December 2014 to January 2015. Discontinuity of psychiatric care was measured over 2016. Results: A total of 2,355 patients with bipolar disorder were included. In 12.1% discontinuity of care occurred in 2016. Discontinuity was associated with younger age and less outpatient care over 2013 to 2014. Discontinuity of patients who received all eight quarters outpatient care including BD medication was very low at 4%. The final model contained: age, type of psychiatric care, and amount of outpatient care in 2013 to 2014. Practice variation among providers appeared negligible. Conclusions: The (mental) health service in the Netherlands has few financial or other barriers toward continuity of care for patients with severe mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder. An active network of providers, aim to standardize care. This seems successful. However, 12% discontinuity per year remains problematic and more detailed data on those most at risk to drop out of treatment are necessary.

Objective To describe antibiotic prescription patterns in the emergency department (ED) of a tertiary healthcare center in Nepal. Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of hospital records of patients who visited the ED. Results Of the 758 ED patients included in the study, 384 (50.6%) received a total of 536 antibiotic prescriptions. Common indications for antibiotic prescriptions included respiratory infection (37.5%), gastrointestinal infection (19.3%), urinary infection (10.4%), and prophylaxis (29.9%). Antibiotics listed as essential in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) and generic formulations were used in 77.1% and 61.9% of the antibiotic prescriptions, respectively. Injectable antibiotics were prescribed to 54.9% of the 384 patients. Frequently prescribed antibiotics included ceftriaxone (34.1%), metronidazole (18.5%), amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (15.9%), and cefixime (14.3%). Bacterial culture testing was performed in 15.1% of the patients who received antibiotics. Conclusions This study showed that overuse of antibiotics, prescription of branded antibiotics, prescription of antibiotics not listed in the NLEM, prophylactic use of antibiotics, and empirical treatment of suspected infections without isolation of pathogens were all prevalent. We recommend more research to determine the causes underlying these practices and develop interventions to limit such practices.
Not just a ‘nice to have’: Team compassionate care behaviours and patient safety

Published: September 2024

The experience of suffering is ubiquitous in healthcare facilities, but against this backdrop, is compassion a ‘nice to have’ or does it also affect patient safety? This article uses mixed methods across two studies to understand team compassionate care behaviours as a shared unit property and its association with patient safety outcomes. Using data from 188 healthcare teams, Study 1 finds that team compassionate care behaviours mediated the relationship between team psychological safety and fewer patient hospital-associated infections. Furthermore, the positive relationship between team psychological safety and team compassionate care behaviours was weakened when team workload demands were high. In Study 2, we interviewed 25 nurses to understand the experiences and gain further insights into the relationships between the focal variables. Together, our findings provide evidence that compassion emerges at the team level, is driven by team antecedents, moderated by team environments and tangibly affects patient safety.

Published: September 2024

Background We wished to explore possible sexual dimorphism in mechanisms sensitizing or activating meningeal nociceptors that can promote the headache phase of migraine. Methods Male and female C57BL6J mice received either supradural orexin B and an inflammatory mediator cocktail (IM) with migraine-like pain behaviors and photophobia recorded. Expression of orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) in trigeminal ganglion (TG) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) levels in trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) were evaluated. Orexin B-induced excitability of TG cells was assessed with patch-clamp electrophysiology. Intranasal delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids was used to edit the expression of OX2R in the TG. Results Supradural orexin B induced migraine-like pain behaviors, photophobia and increased TNC ERK phosphorylation exclusively in males. Blockade of orexin signaling with supradural suvorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, prevented, but did not reverse, migraine-like pain in males induced by supradural IM cocktail. OX2R expression was higher in male TG and orexin B increased TG neuron excitability in males. Intranasal OX2R CRISPR/Cas9 reduced TG receptor expression and orexin B-induced TNC ERK phosphorylation and prevented migraine-like pain induced by supradural orexin B in males. Conclusions Our studies reveal a male-specific mechanism of TG nociceptor sensitization and migraine-like pain behavior mediated by orexin B/OX2R signaling. Sexually dimorphic mechanisms of trigeminal nociceptor sensitization and activation offer opportunities to improve patient outcomes by considering patient sex and may influence clinical trial design and interpretation.

Background The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to significant global morbidity and mortality. Understanding the genetic factors that influence disease outcomes can provide critical insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets. Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Interleukin 12 Subunit Alpha (IL-12A), Interleukin 12 Subunit Beta (IL-12B), Interleukin 6 (IL-6), and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) genes and the severity as well as susceptibility to COVID-19 among Moroccan patients. Patients and Methods Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) was conducted on 325 Moroccan participants, 207 patients with PCR-confirmed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and 118 controls. Among these patients, 51% presented moderate to severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, while 49% were asymptomatic or experienced mild symptoms and did not require hospitalization. Statistical analysis was performed using codominant, dominant, and recessive logistic regression models to assess correlations with the severity and susceptibility to COVID-19 infection. Results No association was found between SNPs of IL-12A, IL-12B, IL-6 or TNF and COVID-19 severity and susceptibility. However, our results unveiled a noteworthy association with IL-6 rs2069840, which exhibited a negative correlation (OR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.07-0.69, p = .006), suggesting a protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion Polymorphisms in IL-12A, IL-12B, IL-6, and TNF genes are not correlated to the severity and susceptibility of COVID-19.

Published: September 2024

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing in sensor technology is increasing daily because it can fabricate complex structures quickly and accurately. This study presents the modeling, fabrication, and characterization processes for the development of a resistance type flexible strain sensor. The finite element model of the sensor was developed using COMSOL software and was verified experimentally. The experimental results agreed well with the simulation results. The fabrication process was performed using the molding technique. The flexible substrate of the strain sensor was fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM), an AM method, with dimensions of 20 mm × 60 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. In this process, a flexible and durable elastomer material called thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was used. The liquid conductive silver was then injected into the mold channels. The characterization process was performed by establishing experimental and numerical setups. Studies were conducted to maximize sensitivity by changing the geometric properties of the sensor. At the 30% strain level, sensitivity increased by 9% when the sensor thickness decreased from 2 to 1.2 mm. As a result of the gradually applied force, the strain sensor showed a maximum displacement of 34.95 mm. Tensile tests were also conducted to examine the effects of stress accumulation on the flexible base. The results of this study show that the strain sensor exhibits high linearity-sensitivity and low hysteresis performance.

Published: September 2024

Throughout their service life, composite materials may be subjected to impact loads, which can result in some damage mechanisms that cause degradation in mechanical and dynamic responses. Especially matrix-induced cracks and delamination can have significant effects on the final properties, and cause serious problems if the necessary precautions are not taken. In the current study, Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites interleaved with Fine Glass (FG), Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyimide (PI) and Poly-Phenylene Sulphide (PPS) thermoplastic veils were fabricated, and exposed to LVI tests under 25.2 J constant impact energy to determine how veils affect the dynamic properties. The selected veils are commercially available materials and are used for various purposes. In this regard, it was aimed to examine the usability of these commercially available veils as interlayers and to examine the impacts of the veils used as interlayers on the LVI characteristic of CFRP composites. According to the present study, it was found that veil interleaves significantly affect the composite stiffness, and accordingly, relevant LVI responses such as total impulse, bending stiffness, interaction times etc. For instance, approximately 21.2% reduction in the peak displacement and 73.23% increment in the bending stiffness were observed due to FG veil interleaves. On the other hand, when the effects of veil types were examined, the maximum and minimum variations in the LVI responses were observed for the FG and PEI interleaves, respectively, and FG veils were found to be the most effective veil types for the CFRP composites. It was also revealed that veil interleaves strengthen the interlaminar region between plies and delamination resistance, and thereby improved the Delamination Threshold Loads for all configurations.
The Extract of Camellia japonica L. Protects against Mice Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Promoting the H2S-BKCa Pathway
Authors: Lu Weizhuo , Jiang Zenghong , Wen Jiyue 
Published: September 2024

Background and Objectives The effect and mechanism of the extract of Camellia japonica L. (ECJ) on brain injury following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) were demonstrated in the present study. Materials and Methods We detected mice’s brain damage after cerebral I/R and tested neuronal injury following oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) to evaluate the neuroprotection of ECJ. Besides, we tested the expressions of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) synthase cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and α subunit of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKα) both in brain tissues and culture neurons. Importantly, the roles of iberiotoxin (IbTX), BKCa channel inhibitor, and CBS inhibitor aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) on ECJ-mediated neuroprotection were assessed to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of ECJ. Results ECJ treatment could alleviate the mice’s brain injury following cerebral I/R and reduce the neuronal damage caused by OGD/R in vitro, which was inhibited by IbTX and AOAA. In addition, ECJ could increase the expression of CBS and the α subunit of BKCa channel (BKα) in mice brain tissues and the culture neurons, as well as improve the H2S production. Furthermore, exogenous H2S donor NaHS also improved the BKα expression in OGD/R neurons. Importantly, NaHS alleviated the neuronal injury in vitro, which was inhibited by IbTX as well. Conclusion ECJ can protect against mouse cerebral I/R injury, the mechanism of which is correlated with promoting the CBS/H2S-BKCa pathway.

Published: September 2024

Objectives In our previous study we analyzed the prevalence of demoralization in a sample of 235 end-of-life cancer patients using the Demoralization Scale (DS). The findings revealed that 50.2% of the participants reported experiencing a moderate level of demoralization. The main sub-dimensions observed from the original DS were Helplessness, Disheartenment, and Sense of Failure, which we have categorized as “Emotional Distress and Inability to Cope”. The aim of this study was to qualitatively investigate the subjective experience of this factor among a group of terminal cancer patients. Method A sample of 30 patients was interviewed using seven open-ended questions, divided into 3 categories: helplessness, disheartenment and sense of failure. Content analysis was performed. Results Faith and prayer, social support and preserving autonomy were the principal coping strategies used by the sample and have been classed as sources of hope. Sadness, anger, death anxiety, fear, and sickness were the most commonly expressed emotions. Faith, social support, autonomy, and fighting spirit were identified as the primary coping strategies. Conclusions This study allowed a better understanding of the patient’s subjective experience of the demoralization sub-dimension. The deepening of the topic can increase personalized clinical interventions, according to the patient’s needs.
