Published: October 2024

Abstract
Inaccurate penicillin allergy labeling may deter healthcare providers from initiating appropriate therapy and contribute to antibiotic resistance. In a rural urgent care setting, the current practice of penicillin allergy labeling was evaluated using the PEN-FAST tool. The results confirm opportunity to further evaluate and improve current practice for allergy assessment.
New Zealand's representative: Jessie Mackay, the Self-Determination for Ireland League of New Zealand and the Irish Race Congress
Authors: Marr Lisa 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn January 1922, Jessie Mackay represented the Self-Determination for Ireland League of New Zealand (S.D.I.L.N.Z.) at the Irish Race Congress in Paris. Irish people around the world were invited to attend this grand ‘family reunion’, where delegates discussed ways to assist the Irish revival, created an international organisation to connect members of the Irish ‘race’ and enjoyed exhibitions of Irish art, drama, music and dancing. Among those who assembled in Paris were delegates from Australasia who represented the S.D.I.L.N.Z. and the Self-Determination for Ireland League of Australia. These Australasian delegates played a pivotal role in keeping the congress on course. This article interweaves the history of the S.D.I.L.N.Z. with biographical details of Mackay's life in 1921 and 1922. Drawing on new archival research and material from New Zealand newspapers and periodicals, it adds to previous treatments of the congress by offering a distinct Australasian point of view. It investigates the S.D.I.L.N.Z. and why Mackay was chosen to represent it, how she contributed to the congress and what she made of proceedings.

AbstractDietary restriction-influenced biological performance is found in many animal species. Pardosa pseudoannulata is a dominant spider species in agricultural fields and is important for controlling pests. In this study, three groups – a control group (CK group), a re-feeding group (RF group), and a dietary restriction group (RT group) – were used to explore development, mating, reproduction, and the expression levels of Vg (vitellogenin) and VgR (vitellogenin receptor) genes in the spider. The findings indicated that when subjected to dietary restriction, the carapace size, weight of the spiderlings, and weight of the adults exhibited a decrease. Furthermore, the preoviposition period and egg stage were observed to be prolonged, while the number of spiderlings decreased. It was also observed that re-feeding reduced cannibalism rates and extended the preoviposition period. Dietary restriction also affected the expression of the Vg-3 gene in the spider. These results will contribute to the understanding of the impact of dietary restriction in predators of pest control, as well as provide a theoretical foundation for the artificial rearing and utilisation of the dominant spider in the field.

Abstract
Effluent waste generated from the intensive production of vannamei shrimp is known to play an essential role in increasing phytoplankton abundance and the alteration of environmental quality. This alteration is characterized by the presence of various organic compounds and their derivatives. The northern coastal area of Bangka Island represents a region in Indonesia that has witnessed significant growth and development as a vannamei shrimp cultivation zone. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate phytoplankton abundance and environmental quality in the waste of shrimp ponds in the northern coastal area of Bangka Island. The investigation procedures were carried out in four specific locations within this area, namely BL1, BL2, BL3, and BL4. The results showed the presence of five–six distinct phytoplankton groups, including a total of 11–18 genera, within the effluent discharge from these ponds. The highest abundance of phytoplankton was recorded at BL3, with a value of 2,418,375 cells ml−1. The phytoplankton groups identified at all locations included Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, Chryptophyta, Bacillariophyta, and Pyrrophyta. Euglenophyta was found at BL1 and BL3 but was not observed at BL2 and BL4. Furthermore, the most abundant group found in this study was Chlorophyta. The genera Nanochloropsis, Chlorella, Microcystis, and Nitzschia were consistently found in all the surveyed ponds. The calculation results showed that all locations had a moderate level of diversity, high evenness, and the absence of dominance. Based on the findings of principal component analysis, there was a commonality in parameters that exerted a strong influence on phytoplankton abundance, including nitrate, orthophosphate, and magnesium.

AbstractBackgroundWhether the recent rise in adolescent self-reported depressive symptoms is influenced by changing reporting behavior is much debated. Most studies use observed sum scores to document trends but fail to assess whether their measures are invariant across time, a prerequisite for meaningful inferences about change. We examined whether measurement noninvariance, indicative of changing perceptions and reporting of symptoms, may influence the assessment of time trends in adolescent depressive symptoms.MethodsData stem from the nationwide repeated cross-sectional Ungdata-surveys (2010–2019) of 560 712 responses from adolescents aged 13 to 19 years. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Kandel and Davies' six-item Depressive Mood Inventory. Using structural equation modeling, we examined measurement invariance across time, gender and age, and estimated the consequences of noninvariance on cross-cohort time trends.ResultsAcross most conditions, the instrument was found measurement invariant across time. The few noninvariant parameters detected had negligible impact on trend estimates. From 2014, latent mean depressive symptom scores increased among girls. For boys, a U shaped pattern was detected, whereby an initial decrease in symptoms was followed by an increase from 2016. Larger issues of noninvariance were found across age in girls and between genders.ConclusionsFrom a measurement perspective, the notion that changed reporting of symptoms has been an important driver of secular trends in depressive symptoms was not supported. Thus, other causes of these trends should be considered. However, noninvariance across age (in girls) and gender highlights that depressive symptoms are not necessarily perceived equivalently from early to late adolescence and across gender.
Post-retirement employment behavior and older people’s expenditure: New evidence from urban China
Authors: Lu Di , Feng Xing , Ji Shujing 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this research investigates how post-retirement employment influences older people’s expenditure in urban China. By broadening the understanding of post-retirement employment behaviour from a consumer welfare perspective, this study expands the literature on retirement consumption and provides theoretical explanations, empirical insights and policy recommendations. The findings reveal that post-retirement employment behaviour reduces urban retirees’ household expenditure and has a more significant effect on men than on women, but this effect diminishes as consumption levels rise. Increasing income, promoting social participation and improving subjective health outcomes are all potential channels through which post-retirement employment can affect consumption. Further analysis shows two main reasons why post-retirement employment reduces older people’s expenditure: first, the increase in subjective health levels resulting from post-retirement employment reduces healthcare expenditure; second, post-retirement employment does not promote social participation and self-rated health for all consumption levels and all genders of retirees – it also decreases expenditure. Preliminary evidence suggests that internet use positively moderates the negative impact of post-retirement employment on older people’s expenditure. These findings provide policy implications for retirement policies and the promotion of the silver economy.
Language teacher expertise research: A theoretical case and research agenda
Authors: Anderson Jason 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Expertise exists among all communities of educational practitioners at all levels and in all national contexts. By identifying expert practitioners, learning from them and valuing their professional competence, researchers can support, promote and build upon sustainable, embodied, holistic models of quality in ways that have direct relevance for the classroom, the curriculum and wider educational goals. Yet, despite its potential as a field of research, there have been relatively few studies involving expert language teachers to date. After a brief historical background, this article makes the case for language teacher expertise research, noting its high ecological validity, its great practical utility, its ability to bridge the research–practice divide and its potentially positive impact on teaching communities. Key methodological considerations are also discussed, including defining expertise, identifying expert teachers and looking beyond the limits of subject-specific pedagogy to understand the whole practitioner in their sociocultural context. The article then proposes a framework for future teacher expertise research that spans diverse methodologies. Six example research tasks from within this framework are proposed, each justified and exemplified, incorporating suggestions for research design that are intended to encourage both experienced and novice researchers to engage with teacher expertise as a promising domain for future investigation.

Summary
The hoary-throated spinetail and Rio Branco antbird are two bird species endemic to the Rio Branco drainage of Brazil and Guyana, currently listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Previous assessments of both species’ global populations focused on the Brazilian state of Roraima but did not include most of its border with Guyana, where significant areas of suitable habitat remain along the Ireng (Maú) and Takutu (Tacutu) Rivers. In July and August 2021, we conducted a survey to determine the extent of each species’ geographic range along the two rivers, and to estimate population sizes. We used playback surveys along 219 km of river to ascertain each species’ distribution and intensively sampled three forest blocks to determine densities. Both species were locally abundant on both sides of the international border. Rio Branco antbird occurred over a greater geographic range than hoary-throated spinetail, particularly along the Takutu River, but was confined to a narrower zone along the river edges. Both species appear to have retreated from habitat along the Ireng River that was occupied in the past, possibly due to habitat degradation from increasingly frequent fires. Nevertheless, our minimum estimates of 1147 antbirds and 851 spinetails in the study area represent, respectively, 7.5% and 17.8 % increases over current estimates of global population sizes, and indicate that the Guyana-Brazil border region may become a critical stronghold for both species if effective conservation measures are implemented. We propose establishment of a Key Biodiversity Area encompassing the core of both species’ distributions along the border; extensive follow-up work including stakeholder engagement to explore possibilities for habitat management and protection; and further field study to increase general ecological knowledge of these two bird species.

Abstract

Objective:
Previous studies suggest a link between vitamin D status and COVID-19 susceptibility in hospitalised patients. This study aimed to investigate whether vitamin D concentrations in elderly individuals were associated with their susceptibility to Omicron COVID-19 incidence, the severity of the disease and the likelihood of reoccurrence during the era of the post-‘zero-COVID-19’ policies in China.

Design:
In this retrospective study, participants were categorised into three groups based on their 25(OH)D concentrations: deficiency (< 20 ng/ml), insufficiency (20 to < 30 ng/ml) and sufficiency (≥ 30 ng/ml). The demographic and clinical characteristics, comorbidities and the incidence rate, reoccurrence rate and severity of Omicron COVID-19 were retrospectively recorded and analysed by using hospital information system data and an online questionnaire survey.

Setting:
China.

Participants:
222 participants aged 60 years or older from a health management centre.

Results:
Our findings revealed significant differences in the incidence (P = 0·03) and recurrent rate (P = 0·02) of Omicron COVID-19 among the three groups. Participants with lower 25(OH)D concentrations (< 20 ng/ml) exhibited higher rates of initial incidence and reoccurrence and a greater percentage of severe and critical cases. Conversely, individuals with 25(OH)D concentrations ≥ 30 ng/ml had a higher percentage of mild cases (P = 0·003). Binary and ordinal logistic regression models indicated that vitamin D supplementation was not a significant risk factor for COVID-19 outcomes.

Conclusions:
In the elderly population, pre-infection vitamin D deficiency was associated with increased susceptibility to incidence, severity of illness and reoccurrence rates of Omicron COVID-19.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine if the offspring of mothers with obesity, present disorders in the expression of genes related to atrophy or protein synthesis in the muscle and if these disorders are modified with the (−)-epicatechin (Epi) treatment. Six male offspring per group were randomly assigned to the control groups [C and offspring of maternal obesity (MO)] or the Epi intervention groups, Epi treatment for 13 weeks (C + Epi long or MO + Epi long), or Epi administration for two weeks (C + Epi short or MO + Epi short). The effect of Epi in the gastrocnemius tissue was evaluated, analyzing mRNA and protein levels of Murf1, MAFbx, Foxo1, NFkB, and p70S6K-alpha. After the analysis by two-way ANOVA, we found an influence of the Epi long treatment over the model, by decreasing the Murf1 gene expression in both groups treated with the flavonoid (C + Epi long and MO + Epi long) (p = 0.036). Besides, Epi long treatment over the NFκB expression, by decreasing the fold increase in both groups treated with the flavonoid (C + Epi long and MO + Epi long) (p = 0.038). We not find any interaction between the variables or changes in the MAFbx, Foxo1 mRNA, neither in the phosphorylated/total protein ratio of NFκB, Foxo1, or p70S6K-alpha. In conclusions, treatment with a long protocol of Epi, reduces the mRNA of the muscle atrophy genes Murf 1 and NFkB, in the gastrocnemius muscle; however, these changes are not maintained at protein level.

ZusammenfassungAlgen, unterteilt in Makroalgen und Mikroalgen, stellen eine vielversprechende
Ressource dar. Die kommerzielle Nutzung von Algen steht jedoch vor
Herausforderungen wie regulatorischen Hürden und Verbraucherakzeptanz, die die
Zulassung neuer Algenarten oder -produkte zeitaufwändig machen können. Trotz der
überwindbaren Hindernisse für eine groß angelegte Algenproduktion erfordert der
kommerzielle Erfolg ein koordiniertes Vorgehen. Algen dienen als biologische
Fabriken mit einem großen Potenzial an wertvollen Nährstoffen, darunter
Fettsäuren, Carotinoide und Proteine. Diese bieten nicht nur Möglichkeiten zur
Nahrungsversorgung, sondern tragen auch zu gesundheitlichen Vorteilen bei, u. a.
als bioäquivalente Primärquelle für langkettige Omega-3-Fettsäuren,
Antioxidantien und Polysaccharide zur Förderung der Darmgesundheit. Die Qualität
und Sicherheit von Algen als Lebensmittel hängt in hohem Maße von den
Anbaubedingungen ab und kann von diesen beeinflusst werden. Eine geschmackvolle
Verarbeitung von Algen zu Produkten könnte die Akzeptanz erhöhen und
ernährungsphysiologisch vollwertige Lebensmittel ermöglichen.
Einnässen im Kindesalter

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGAb einem Alter von fünf Jahren spricht man von Harninkontinenz, wenn Kinder tagsüber und von Enuresis nocturna, wenn Kinder nachts einnässen. Liegt eine Mischform vor, werden die Nomenklatur und die sich daraus ergebende Diagnostik und Therapie schon etwas komplizierter.Das Einnässen im Kindesalter ist oft funktioneller Natur. Mittels non-invasiver Diagnostik lassen sich organische Ursachen ausschließen und eine genaue Diagnose stellen. Als Behandlung schließt sich die sogenannte Urotherapie an, die vordergründig dazu dient, das schambehaftete Krankheitsbild zu entmystifizieren und enttabuisieren. Unsere Hauptaufgabe ist es, bei Eltern und Kindern Verständnis füreinander und für das vorliegende Problem zu schaffen. Wir ernennen das Kind zum Chef seiner Blase und begleiten die Familie mit viel Geduld auf ihrem individuellen Weg zur Kontinenz.

AbstractIntroducing two electron-donating groups and two electron-withdrawing groups together in symmetrical positions on the benzene ring is a fundamental way to synthesize and prepare single-benzene-based fluorophores (SBBFs). Their photophysical properties are adjusted through the electronic and structural properties of the functional groups. Reported herein is the functionalization of diaminobenzene derivatives with various amine protecting groups, including amides, urea, carbamates, and sulfonamides. Both absorption and emission properties of the obtained SBBF molecules were carefully investigated. Sequential and unsymmetric diamine protections were also explored with diaminobenzene derivatives for fine-tuning of the molecular properties.
Challenging the deglobalization narrative: Global flows have remained resilient through successive shocks

Published: October 2024

AbstractWe challenge the popular narrative that the world has entered a period of deglobalization, arguing that deglobalization is still a risk rather than a current reality. Drawing upon the DHL Global Connectedness Index, we show that international flows have not decreased relative to domestic activity, there is not an ongoing shift from global to regional business, and geopolitically driven shifts in international flows still primarily involve countries at the center of present conflicts. We propose policy and research implications, warning that misperceptions of deglobalization could themselves contribute to costly reductions in international openness.
Nonlinear light-output calibration of the oxygenated xylene scintillators used in OMEGA neutron time-of-flight spectrometers

Neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) spectrometers are essential instruments for measuring and evaluating the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions. The neutron spectrometers utilized for the OMEGA laser include two liquid-based scintillators, each consisting of a large volume filled with xylene that is coupled to four photomultiplier tubes. Analysis of the signal from these detectors requires detailed knowledge of the scintillator’s light output, which is needed to fit the nTOF spectrum, from which the neutron energy spectrum is informed. The light output is nonlinearly proportional to the neutron energy, which, in turn, affects the interpretation of the neutron energy spectrum from a TOF signal. A recent campaign on OMEGA was performed to calibrate the xylene detectors and infer the shape of the light-output curve. The campaign utilized materials with increasing Z placed in the OMEGA target chamber to initiate scattering events with the 14 MeV fusion neutrons. This process leads to the production of backscatter neutrons of varying energies that appear as peaks in the nTOF data. Simulations using a neutron transport code were combined with the measured deuterium–tritium neutron yields to calculate the expected backscattered neutron yields from the well-known scattering cross sections of each material. The neutron-energy dependent light output of the scintillator inferred from the experiment is compared to the light-output curve simulated with a neutron transport code for the following neutron energies: 1.5, 2.5, 6, and 14 MeV.
