Introduction
Untreated hearing loss is reported to negatively impact on an individual’s quality of life, affecting their psychological and physical health and placing them at greater risk of developing dementia. Despite this, hearing loss management is often delayed by up to a decade. This is likely due to difficulties in navigating the hearing care pathway, and the absence of a central, unbiased reference point for consumer-friendly hearing health information and resources. We intend to co-design an online support service for adults with hearing loss with the following aims: 1) to understand unmet needs and consumer barriers to accessing hearing health information, 2) to identify solutions to these unmet needs that can be developed into prototype ideas, 3) to incrementally build on iterations of a prototype until a usable online support service is developed and ready for real-life testing with end-users, and 4) to test and evaluate the usability, accessibility, and effectiveness of the prototype from the consumer’s perspective, so that the prototype can be refined into the final product.

Methods and analysis
This will be a mixed method study. Consumers will be involved in all stages of the design of the project following the Hasso Plattner model of design thinking. The qualitative component will involve sprints and semi-structured interviews to access the consumer perspective and understand unmet needs and challenges regarding the access of online hearing health information. For the quantitative component, an online survey will be administered prior to prototype testing as part of the remote usability study to collect self-efficacy and eHealth literacy outcome measures via validated questionnaires. Data collection will also be performed post-prototype testing for evaluation purposes. Finally, heuristic evaluation of the prototype will be conducted by an eLearning expert to help refine the prototype into the final product.

There is growing evidence to suggest that lifestyle initiatives promote brain health and reduce dementia risk. However, there is comparatively limited research focused on lifestyle interventions among people living with dementia. Most recent systematic reviews of lifestyle interventions among people living with dementia centre on the impact of exercise on cognition; yet, functional abilities and quality of life are most consistently prioritized by people living with dementia, care partners, and healthcare professionals. There is insufficient evidence to inform guidelines on effective lifestyle interventions, programs, resources, and policies for people living with dementia. To address this knowledge gap, the objective of this study is to perform a systematic review to understand the impact of lifestyle interventions among people living with dementia. The specific research questions are: "What is the effectiveness of physical activity interventions on improving functional abilities and quality of life among community-dwelling people living with dementia?", "What is the effectiveness of healthy eating/nutrition on improving nutritional status or quality of life among community-dwelling people living with dementia?" and "Does the effectiveness of interventions vary depending on the components (single or multi), setting (in-home or community centre, geography), program structure, mode of delivery, dosage, and participant characteristics (sex/gender, ethno-cultural or language group, race, dementia type)?" The results from this review will inform recommendations of lifestyle interventions and their delivery among people living with dementia in the community.

Improving hospice delirium guideline adoption through an understanding of barriers and facilitators: A mixed-methods study
Authors: Jackson Catriona , Malia Catherine , Zacharias Hannah , Dyson Judith , Johnson Miriam J. 
Published: September 2024

Objectives
This study seeks to understand and address barriers to practitioners’ optimal assessment and management of people with delirium in hospices.

Methods
Retrospective clinical record review to identify areas of low concordance with guideline-adherent delirium care; Survey of healthcare practitioners to identify barriers and facilitators to optimal care; Qualitative interviews with health care practitioners to explore and develop strategies to address barriers or optimise facilitators; Meeting with senior clinical staff to refine identified strategies.

Results
Eighty clinical records were reviewed. Elements of poor guideline concordance were identified. Delirium screening on admission was conducted for 61% of admissions. Non-pharmacological management was documented for 59% of those we identified as having delirium from the clinical records. Survey and interview data identified key barriers to delirium assessment as competing priorities, poor knowledge and skills and lack of environmental resources (staff and guidelines, environment). Consultation with staff resulted in strategies to address barriers and enhance facilitators including champions, educational meetings, audit and feedback, and environmental changes (including careful consideration of the staff skills mix on shift and tools to support non-pharmacological management).

Conclusions
We conducted a theoretically underpinned, internationally relevant study in a hospice in England, UK. Implementation of strategies should result in greater guideline-adherent delirium care. Further work should test this in practice and include both process and clinical outcomes (e.g., reduction in delirium days).
Exploring the impact of child underweight status on common childhood illnesses among children under five years in Bangladesh along with spatial analysis
Authors: Islam Khondokar Naymul , Sultana Sumaya , Rahman Ferdous , Rahman Abdur 
Published: September 2024

Background
In developing countries like Bangladesh, under-five children are mostly experiencing and suffering from common diseases like fever, cough, diarrhea, and acute respiratory infections (ARI). To mitigate these problems, it’s crucial to spot prevalent areas and take proper action. This study investigates the spatial distribution and associated factors of prevalent childhood illnesses across Bangladesh.

Methods and findings
This research comprised 8,306 children’s information from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017–18. We performed chi-square, t-tests, binary logistic regression and spatial analyses in this work. BDHS survey data and GPS data were aggregated to identify common childhood illnesses among under-five children. Moran’s index first mapped childhood illnesses. Afterward, Getis-Ord Gi* discovered hot and cold spots for illnesses. However, Kriging interpolation predicted child illnesses in unsampled areas. Here, 33.2% (CI: 32.2–34.3), 36% (CI: 35–37.1), 4.7% (CI: 4.3–5.2), and 12.9% (CI: 12.2–13.6) of children under five had fever, cough, diarrhea, and ARI, respectively. In the fortnight before to the survey, 47.3% (CI: 46.2–48.3) of under-5 children were ill. Common childhood illnesses are associated with children’s (age, underweight status, etc.), mothers’ (age, education, etc.), and household factors (residency, wealth index, etc.). Underweight status is associated with fever, cough and at least one disease. The unsampled north-western and south-western areas of Bangladesh had a higher prevalence of fever, cough, ARI and at least one common disease. Cough was most common in the central-northern region; fever was most common in the lower southern region; and ARI was most common in Bangladesh’s south-east. Childhood diseases were more prevalent in Bangladesh’s central-northern and southern regions.

Conclusions
Our research demonstrates the regional clustering of common childhood diseases in Bangladesh. Policymakers should focus on these higher-prevalence regions, and the necessary preventive measures should be taken immediately.
In search of Polish in the multilingual cityscape: analysing the urban spaces of Ealing, London
Authors: Romanowski Piotr 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper examines Polish in the public space of the Borough of Ealing, London. The area has been known for a high concentration of the Polish diaspora since the end of World War II, with the highest proportion of Polish speakers at 7 % according to the most recent statistics. In this study, the focus is on the presence of Polish, its relative prestige, power of conveying a meaning, as well as its relevance in a text. It also considers the status and dominance of English above Polish and answers the question how languages are combined in bi-/multilingual signage. A methodological framework encompassing the aspects of semiotic and linguistic analysis, such as: contexts, domains, language dominance, genre and function, has been adopted to analyse a corpus of 368 signs. It has been argued that Polish indexes and constructs public spaces in different areas of Ealing as places of identity and belonging, since Poles have been very active in their efforts to construct their own space where they could function in their mother tongue and organise social life.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera [L.] Small) (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae) is one of the most invasive plants in the southeastern United States and is designated as a noxious weed in the state of Florida. Current management strategies for Chinese tallow are expensive and ineffective at the landscape scale, allowing for further spread. Here, we document the first records of four scale insect species, Ceroplastes rusci (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Coccidae), Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus (Hemiptera: Coccidae), Rhizoecus floridanus Hambleton (Hemiptera: Rhizoecidae), and Aonidiella orientalis (Newstead) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), feeding on a small population of cultivated Chinese tallow and discuss the implications of invasive species interactions.

Cuantificación por análisis de imágenes de quistosoros de Spongospora subterranea en suelo
Authors: Moreno Santamaría Aída Inés , Reynaldi Sebastián 
Published: September 2024

El protista Spongospora subterranea es el patógeno del suelo causante de la sarna polvosa de la papa. Es un parásito obligado que se reproduce en raíces y tubérculos, donde produce grupos de zoosporas enquistadas, quistosoros, los cuales pasan al suelo para generar un nuevo ciclo infectivo. La prevención de esta enfermedad requiere identificar y cuantificar los quistosoros del suelo. Con el propósito de automatizar el proceso, fotografiamos digitalmente quistosoros de diferentes cultivos bajo las mismas condiciones, y caracterizamos su tamaño y forma como área y circularidad con análisis de imágenes. El rango de área fue 1086-2247 µm2 y el de circularidad fue 0.824-0.886. Con estos rangos analizamos un número creciente fotografías digitales (1-90) de un mismo suelo con quistosoros (infectado) y sin ellos (control), utilizando una rutina macro. El número de identificaciones resultó lineal, positiva y significativamente (p<0.001) correlacionado con el número de fotografías analizadas tanto en el suelo infectado (r2=0.996, y=1.679x) como en el control (r2=0.968, y=0.367x). Las identificaciones en el suelo control infectado fueron cinco veces menores y fueron sustraídas a las identificaciones del suelo infectado para cada número de fotografías analizadas. Esta sustracción resultó lineal (y=1.048x), positiva (r2=0.979) y significativamente (p<0.001) correlacionada con el promedio de quistosoros cuantificados visualmente en las mismas fotografías. Los resultados muestran que los quistosoros del suelo pueden ser cuantificados por análisis de imágenes. La automatización independiza la precisión de la cuantificación de la experiencia y habilidad de la persona que la realiza.

Agricultural landscapes impact the diversity of amphibians, with few species adapted to these anthropized and fragmented environments. Leptodactilids are commonly found on crops because they are tolerant species. Despite the increase in parasitological studies in agricultural areas, information on parasite-anuran interactions in these environments is still lacking. Herein, we aim to describe the nematodes associated with Leptodactylus cf. mystaceus in agricultural landscapes. We captured 18 specimens of L. cf. mystaceus which fourteen were infected by at least one of the thirteen nematode taxa. The prevalence was 78 % in the host population. We recorded thirteen taxa of nematodes: Aplectana crucifer Travassos, 1925, Aplectana meridionalis Freitas and Lent, 1938, Aplectana lopesi Silva, 1954, Cosmocerca brasiliense Travassos, 1925, Cosmocerca paraguayensis Moravec and Kaiser, 1994, Cosmocerca parva Travassos, 1925, Cosmocerca sp., Cosmocerca travassosi Gomes and Motta, 1967, Cosmocercidae gen. sp., Multicaecum sp., Ochoterenella sp., Oxyascaris oxyascaris Travassos, 1920, and Rhabdias sp., wich C. paraguayensis, C. travassossi, A. meridionalis, A. lopesi, A. crucifer, Multicaecum sp., and Ochoterenella sp. represent new records for this host. Furthermore, we note that host body size is unlikely to influence helminth abundance and richness, at least from an intraspecific point of view. This study contributes to the knowledge of the helminth fauna associated with leptodactilids and to the understanding of the geographic distribution of helminth species.

La composición de especies de diatomeas del contenido intestinal de moluscos bentónicos podría representar fielmente aquellas que habitan en su ambiente inmediato. El objetivo de este estudio fue mostrar que el contenido intestinal de Crassostrea corteziensis permite hacer inferencias sobre la riqueza y composición específica de diatomeas epipélicas. Así, se contrastó la hipótesis nula de que la riqueza y composición específica de diatomeas encontradas en contenido intestinal de C. corteziensis y en sedimentos serían similares. Se recolectaron sedimentos (SE) y contenido intestinal de ostiones (CI) de un sistema estuarino. Las diatomeas presentes en ambas muestras se limpiaron mediante digestión ácida, se montaron en resina Pleurax, y se inspeccionaron bajo un microscopio con contraste de fases. En general, se identificaron 182 taxones de diatomeas; 163 se encontraron en SE y 155 en CI. Durante la temporada de lluvias, se registraron 136 taxones de diatomeas en CI, de los cuales 24 no se hallaron en SE; sobresalieron taxones planctónicos y formas dulceacuícolas. En la temporada de secas, se registraron 139 en CI, de los cuales 25 no se encontraron en SE; destacaron taxones planctónicos y formas marinas. La composición específica en SE y en CI fue significativamente diferente en ambas temporadas. En general, las evidencias no respaldan la hipótesis propuesta. Sin embargo, el hecho de que los ostiones consumieron ≈ 77 % de las diatomeas disponibles en SE, que se complementó con especies fitoplanctónicas, permite considerar el CI como una alternativa para realizar inferencias sobre la diatomoflora en sistemas estuarinos.

Objective: to evaluate the occurrence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) – rs1800469, rs1800470, rs1800471 – and their haplotypes in children with biliary atresia (BA).Materials and methods. We studied 106 pediatric liver recipients aged 4 to 150 (median 8) months, of whom 44 were boys, and 199 healthy individuals aged 32.7 ± 9.6 years, of whom 79 were boys. The indication for pediatric liver transplantation was BA. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using a commercial QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit on a QIAcube automated analyzer. SNPs rs1800469, rs1800470, and rs1800471 in the TGFB1 gene were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction using TaqMan probes on a CFX96 amplifier.Results. In children with BA, the occurrence of the investigated SNPs in TGFB1 was as follows: rs1800469 – 38% GG homozygotes, 50% AG heterozygotes and 12% AA homozygotes; rs1800470 – 39% AA, 44% AG, 17% GG; rs1800471 – 88% CC, 12% GC, 0% GG. The distributions of all the three SNPs followed the Hardy–Weinberg principle. For rs1800469 and rs1800470, the genotype and allele frequencies in children with BA did not differ from those in healthy individuals, whereas for rs1800471, the heterozygous GC genotype was three-fold more frequent in children with BA than in healthy individuals. Haplotype analysis showed the presence of 6 major combinations: 2 most frequent were present in a total of about 66% of patients and 91% of healthy individuals, each of the frequencies practically did not differ between the comparison groups. Significant differences were found in the frequency of 3 rarer haplotypes, A-A-C, G-G-C and G-A-G at position rs1800469, rs1800470, rs1800471, which were observed more frequently in patients with BA by 3.10 (CI 1.59 to 6.04) (p = 0.001), 3.10 (CI 1.55 to 6.17) (p = 0.0015), and 17.02 (CI 1.94 to 149.30) (p = 0.011) times, respectively, than in healthy individuals.Conclusion. In children with BA, the occurrence of CG heterozygotes in rs1800471 and the distribution of three rare haplotypes A-A-C, G-G-C and G-A-G of the rs1800469, rs1800470 and rs1800471 SNPs in the TGFB1 gene significantly differs from that in healthy individuals. It is possible that carriage of rare genotypes and haplotypes of TGFB1 may predispose to BA in children.
