Abstract

Objectives:
Family members of people experiencing a first-episode psychosis (FEP) can experience high levels of carer burden, stigma, emotional challenges, and uncertainty. This indicates the need for support and psychoeducation. To address these needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed a multidisciplinary, blended, telehealth intervention, incorporating psychoeducation and peer support, for family members of FEP service users: PERCEPTION (PsychoEducation for Relatives of people Currently Experiencing Psychosis using Telehealth, an In-person meeting, and ONline peer support). The aim of the study was to explore the acceptability of PERCEPTION for family members of people who have experienced an FEP.

Methods:
Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted online via Zoom and audio recorded. Maximum variation sampling was used to recruit a sample balanced across age, gender, relatives’ prior mental health service use experience, and participants’ relationship with the family member experiencing psychosis. Data were analysed by hand using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results:
Four themes were produced: ‘Developing confidence in understanding and responding to psychosis’; ‘Navigating the small challenges of a broadly acceptable and desirable intervention’; ‘Timely support enriches the intervention’s meaning’; and ‘Dealing with the realities of carer burden’.

Conclusions:
Broadly speaking, PERCEPTION was experienced as acceptable, with the convenient, safe, and supportive environment, and challenges in engagement being highlighted by participants. Data point to a gap in service provision for long-term self-care support for relatives to reduce carer burden. Providing both in-person and online interventions, depending on individuals’ preference and needs, may help remove barriers for family members accessing help.
What I saw at Konnersreuth

Published: September 2024

Have the courage of your own convictions': this is the sense of the above maxim. From it follows logically the duty of expressing one's own opinion even if it differs fundamentally from ‘official medicine'. For there are situations in which silence does not represent a virtue but a fault.The judgment upon Theresa Neumann of Konnersreuth (Bavaria, Germany), pronounced in 1927 (Erlangen) by Professor Dr G. Ewald, late director of the ‘Psychiatrisch-Neuiologisehen Universitiitsklinik’ at Gottingen, is still today looked upon as a ‘dogma’ in medical quarters. His verdict is hysteria.In my view that diagnosis is wrong, as I myself was able to ascertain at Konnersreuth on 12th and 13th October, 1944, with my own observations. As a pupil of the ‘Psychiatrische Klinik', at the University of Vienna, Paris, etc., I also may venture a judgment on this question, since, as is known, the famous researches into hysterias started from Vienna.
The Way and The Means
Authors: Pepler Conrad 
Published: September 2024

X is usually taken as the symbol of the unknown in modern thought. If a man wishes to discover an unknown figure or fact, he begins by positing ‘X’ as the object of his enquiry and then he proceeds to argue in such a way as to reveal the nature of that unknown. In the ‘argument’ of the spiritual life the process is largely reversed. Having begun with a ‘clear idea’ of God, derived partly from reason and partly from faith, the Christian gradually ascends the holy mount until this sun disappears behind the luminous cloud and he finds himself surrounded thickly on all sides by the Unknown. It is in many ways the conclusion of his search.But having become aware that he is enveloped in this cloud of unknowing, the Christian may well take the opportunity to run over in his mind the way he came into this place and the means he had taken to ensure that he should ascend at every pace.
Job, God's Witness
Authors: Steinmann J. 
Published: September 2024

Job is not a witness to God by the same title and in the same way as Abraham, David, Isaias or St Paul, for Job is a poetic creation like Oedipus or King Lear. Job did perhaps exist, just as did many of Sophocles's or Shakespeare's characters. But of the man Job, of the old Edomite sheik who lived at the time of the Patriarchs, the Bible tells us almost nothing.Job comes into the sacred books as the creature of imagination and of a poet's dream. The man whose voice is heard behind the voice of the hero is the author. For Job is not only the fictitious character of a drama, he is witness to a religious crisis in the Jewish, soul. He utters the believer's cry of confidence in God. What he says is inspired by God. As such his grandiose figure, even though it be imaginary, which bears within itself the secrets of one of the.noblest of Jewish, minds, ought to find a place amid the Saints, Prophets and Sages who constitute the company of God's witnesses.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary and Fatima
Authors: Wainewright R. M. D. 
Published: September 2024

As early as the Second, or the June, Apparition, our Blessed Lady said to Lucia, ‘Jesus wishes to make use of you to have me acknowledged and loved. He wishes to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart'. She added, later in the interview, ‘Don't be discouraged. I will never forsake you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the road that will lead you to God'. In Dr Marchi's account, he writes, ‘With these last words she opened her hands, as she had on the previous occasion, and again communicated to them the light that streamed in two rays from her palms, enveloping the children in its heavenly radiance'.In her Memoir (IV) Lucia records: ‘Before the palm of the right hand of our Lady was a heart encircled by thorns which seemed to have pierced it like nails'.
Parochial Spirituality
Authors: Evans Illtud 
Published: September 2024

The parish church is the place of God's meeting with his children. God's house is the Christian's home, and home is the place to which you return.The life of grace is for the members of Christ a common life, whose redemptive source is one, whose end is one. Its unity is symbolised by, indeed is effected on, that altarstone of sacrifice which gives to the church its meaning and reveals to the people of God their destiny.Within the single circle of Christian life there are infinite varieties of Christian living. Each soul unique: but for all alike the need and fact of redemption, of incorporation in Christ the Lord of all. The irony is that the life of the Spirit, which is primarily the common life of unity, of being made one with and through Christ our Lord, should so largely be considered in terms of individual perfection.
Devotion for Every Man
Authors: Woollen C. J. 
Published: September 2024

Christ's message, being for every man, is for the large body of unthinking as well as the more intellectual. In these days it must be admitted that the average man is not disposed to reason much; he prefers to accept mental fare that is given him without examining too closely its quality. He does not necessarily accept the conclusions of others, but that is because he has not troubled to make judgments about them. His mental attitude is more that of one who is willing to be entertained as an observer at an intellectual feast, and with a pronounced respect for the dictum of the expert. There is a general mental laziness making for mass-passivity, which provides the grand opportunity for the demagogue and dictator.The unresponsiveness of the man in the street to a message that. demands mental exercise on his part has led us, in our campaign for the conversion of others to the Faith, to appeal more particularly to the intellectual.
Human and Divine Love
Authors: Norman George 
Published: September 2024

Holiness on the heroic scale is sufficiently rare in itself, or so we believe; in conjunction with a profound and passionate love for a human being we believe it rarer still, almost a contradiction in terms. In our own times one whom, from the standpoint of our colder, more tepid lives, we may well consider a saint, has shown us the ways of sanctity, of active zeal so constant as to constitute heroism, and of human love, all united in a short life. This human and divine lover was Mario Chiri, one of the pioneers of Catholic Action which in Italy has produced an astounding crop of young men and young women of outstanding holiness; Mario Chiri is, humanly speaking, one of the most attractive of them.Among the ways of Providence which may seem to our presumption least comprehensible is the early dying of men and women whose influence for good we feel has been abruptly extinguished. The simple answer is that death'does not end influence; on the contrary it often extends it; the radiation, more or less restricted, may by death become world-wide.

Abstract

Objective:
Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is common among young women and causes various health problems, including those that occur during pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, we investigated the risk factors for VDD in young Japanese women and developed a simple risk scoring system called Vitamin D Deficiency Predicting Scoring (ViDDPreS).

Design:
A cross-sectional study, using the following factors for multivariate logistic regression analysis to create the ViDDPreS score: residential area, season, cumulative ambient ultraviolet-B irradiation, BMI, vitamin D supplement use, sun exposure habits, frequency of habitual food intake and eating habits. The subjects were randomly divided into development and test sets for analysis. Serum 25-hydroxivitamin D concentration of less than 20 ng/ml was defined as VDD.

Setting:
Four regions (Hokkaido/Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu/Kinki/Shikoku and Kyushu/Okinawa) in Japan.

Participants:
Five hundred and eighty-three healthy women aged 18–40 years.

Results:
In the development set, the VDD group (68·4 %) had higher proportions of the following variables than the non-VDD group: residential area outside the Kanto region; blood samples obtained in winter; low BMI (<18·5 kg/m2); vitamin D supplement non-users; short time regularly spent outside on weekdays; intake of fish, vitamin D-abundant fish, dried fish and redfish less than once a week. VDD risk was classified as low, medium or high according to the ViDDPreS scores including these contributing factors, with a test set C-index of 0·671.

Conclusion:
We identified the risk factors for VDD in young Japanese women and developed a simple risk scoring system that enables us to assess VDD risk and aid in the development of appropriate prevention and treatment strategies for this population.
A US perspective on special operations and the law of armed conflict
Authors: Coble Kevin , Tramazzo John C. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article outlines and evaluates several unique challenges associated with legal support to special operations. It describes the essential differences between special tactics, techniques and procedures and conventional military operations. It offers a US perspective on how treaty and customary international laws apply to various special operations, including precision attacks against “high-value targets”, hostage rescue missions, and support to partner and proxy forces. It examines the benefits and drawbacks of heavy reliance on special operations during armed conflict, including an assessment of the legal challenges that arise when special operations forces become a primary feature of a military campaign. Finally, it highlights how the assumption of substantial military and political risk impacts the application of international law to special operations at the tactical level.
Multi‐Scale Soil Salinization Dynamics From Global to Pore Scale: A Review
Authors: Shokri Nima , Hassani Amirhossein , Sahimi Muhammad 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSoil salinization refers to the accumulation of water‐soluble salts in the upper part of the soil profile. Excessive levels of soil salinity affects crop production, soil health, and ecosystem functioning. This phenomenon threatens agriculture, food security, soil stability, and fertility leading to land degradation and loss of essential soil ecosystem services that are fundamental to sustaining life. In this review, we synthesize recent advances in soil salinization at various spatial and temporal scales, ranging from global to core, pore, and molecular scales, offering new insights and presenting our perspective on potential future research directions to address key challenges and open questions related to soil salinization. Globally, we identify significant challenges in understanding soil salinity, which are (a) the considerable uncertainty in estimating the total area of salt‐affected soils, (b) geographical bias in ground‐based measurements of soil salinity, and (c) lack of information and data detailing secondary salinization processes, both in dry‐ and wetlands, particularly concerning responses to climate change. At the core scale, the impact of salt precipitation with evolving porous structure on the evaporative fluxes from porous media is not fully understood. This knowledge is crucial for accurately predicting soil water loss due to evaporation. Additionally, the effects of transport properties of porous media, such as mixed wettability conditions, on the saline water evaporation and the resulting salt precipitation patterns remain unclear. Furthermore, effective continuum equations must be developed to accurately represent experimental data and pore‐scale numerical simulations.
Overcoming bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane-made PCR chips: mechanism and elimination with a high-pressure liquid seal

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe thermal expansion of gas and the air permeability of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were previously thought to be the main causes of bubbles and water loss during polymerase chain reaction (PCR), resulting in a very complex chip design and operation. Here, by calculating and characterizing bubble formation, we discovered that water vapor is the main cause of bubbling. During PCR, heat increases the volume of the bubble by a factor of only ~0.2 in the absence of water vapor but by a factor of ~6.4 in the presence of water vapor. In addition, the phenomenon of “respiration” due to the repeated evaporation and condensation of water vapor accelerates the expansion of bubbles and the loss of water. A water seal above 109 kPa can effectively prevent bubbles in a bare PDMS chip with a simple structure, which is significant for the wide application of PDMS chips.
Cocaine-induced destruction of the palate: a diagnostic and management challenge

Published: September 2024

AbstractCocaine usage is increasing at a rate faster than population growth worldwide. The habitual and chronic insufflation of pulverised cocaine is associated with the progressive destruction of the osseocartilaginous structures of the midface, termed cocaine-induced midline destructive lesions (CIMDLs). These entities present a challenging diagnostic picture, mimicking other infectious, malignant and inflammatory conditions associated with midface destruction. CIMDLs can present along a wide spectrum of disease, with minimal palatal perforation to extensive sinonasal destruction. With the increasing usage of cocaine, there is likely to be a concurrent increase in patients presenting to emergency departments with these destructive entities. Therefore, there is a need to create awareness of this uncommon entity and to document a systematic approach that must be adopted to reach a definitive diagnosis which will subsequently inform management. We report four clinical cases of CIMDLs at varying stages of the disease process which presented to the Dublin Dental University Hospital between January 2023 and June 2024 and document their multidisciplinary management from initial presentation to eventual treatment.
Minimum intervention oral care: staging and grading dental carious lesions in clinical practice
Authors: Molyneux Lorraine Emma , Banerjee Avijit 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDevelopmental staging of carious lesions is pivotal for appropriate ethical clinical decision-making in contemporary caries management. Accurate assessment of lesion extent/severity (staging) and activity (grading) allows practitioners to provide the most appropriate preventive advice and suitable interventions, enabling the implementation of evidence-based, person-focused, prevention-based, team-delivered and susceptibility-related phased minimum intervention oral care. Minimally invasive dentistry remains an important operative interventive option for cavitated lesions, but intervening at the right stage ensures patients are not started on an irreversible, destructive restorative cycle unnecessarily. This article provides an update on recommended practical methods for staging the extent/severity and grading the activity of dental carious lesions, especially for those clinical teams delivering primary care and needing to navigate remuneration systems.

AbstractIn modern human societies, social isolation acts as a negative factor for health and life quality. On the other hand, social interaction also has profound effects on animal and human, impacting aggressiveness, feeding and sleep, among many other behaviors. Here, we observe that in the fly Drosophila melanogaster these behavioral changes long-last even after social interaction has ceased, suggesting that the socialization experience triggers behavioral plasticity. These modified behaviors maintain similar levels for 24 h and persist up to 72 h, although showing a progressive decay. We also find that impairing long-term memory mechanisms either genetically or by anesthesia abolishes the expected behavioral changes in response to social interaction. Furthermore, we show that socialization increases CREB-dependent neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity in the mushroom body, the main insect memory center analogous to mammalian hippocampus. We propose that social interaction triggers socialization awareness, understood as long-lasting changes in behavior caused by experience with mechanistic similarities to long-term memory formation.
Egalitarian cooperation linked to central oxytocin levels in communal breeding house mice

Published: September 2024

AbstractRelationships between adult females are fundamental to understanding diversity in animal social systems. While cooperative relationships between kin are known to promote fitness benefits, the proximate mechanisms underlying this are not well understood. Here we show that when related female house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) cooperate to rear young communally, those with higher endogenous oxytocin levels have more egalitarian and successful cooperative relationships. Sisters with higher oxytocin concentrations in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus weaned significantly more offspring, had lower reproductive skew and spent more equal proportions of time in the nest. By contrast, PVN oxytocin was unrelated to the number of weaned offspring produced in the absence of cooperation, and did not vary in response to manipulation of nest site availability or social cues of outgroup competition. By linking fitness consequences of cooperation with oxytocin, our findings have broad implications for understanding the evolution of egalitarian social relationships.

Published: September 2024

Zusammenfassung
Fragestellung Kinder und Jugendliche mit Typ-1-Diabetes sollen regulär an Bildung teilhaben. Um dies zu verwirklichen, sind altersabhängig Maßnahmen zur Inklusion erforderlich. Mit vorliegender Studie soll analysiert werden, wie häufig Inklusionsleistungen in Anspruch genommen wurden und ob diese einen potenziellen Einfluss auf die Stoffwechsellage – gemessen am HbA1c – der Kinder haben.
Methoden In vorliegender Studie wurden für das Jahr 2022 alle in Deutschland behandelten Patienten aus dem DPV-Register im Alter von 0 bis zu 18 Jahren eingeschlossen, wenn die jeweilige Inklusionsmaske ausgefüllt sowie die Lebenssituation (z.B. alleinerziehendes Elternteil) dokumentiert wurde. Erfasst wurden Inklusionsleistungen, Grad der Behinderung, Migrationsstatus, Deprivationsindex, Erziehungsstatus und HbA1c.
Ergebnisse 988 Kinder und Jugendliche mit Typ-1-Diabetes, im Median 15,3 Jahre alt, konnten in die Studie eingeschlossen werden (<6 Jahre: 46; 6–12 Jahre: 226 >12 Jahre: 716). Die mediane Diabetesdauer betrug 6,2 Jahre. Der HbA1c lag im Median bei 7,8%. Für 11,9% wird die Inanspruchnahme einer Inklusionsleistung angegeben. Die Inanspruchnahme von Inklusionsleistungen ist in der analysierten Stichprobe signifikant abhängig vom Alter (1 Jahr-Änderung: OR 0,72, 95%KI 0,65–0,79; p<0.001) und von der Diabetesdauer (OR 1,14, 95%KI 1,02–1,26; p=0.022).
Schlussfolgerungen Die Inanspruchnahme von Inklusionsleistungen oder Pflegeleistungen scheint eher selten zu erfolgen, jedoch häufiger bei jungen Kindern. Insgesamt besteht weiterer Forschungs- aber auch Handlungsbedarf auf Ebene der Politik, der medizinischen Versorgung sowie auch gesellschaftlich, damit Kinder mit T1DM gleichberechtigt an Bildung partizipieren können.
“I’ll throw acid on your pretty little face […], so wrote a genteel fanatic antifeminist”
Authors: Hatzidaki Ourania 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper examines autobiographical reports of acts of (non-)verbal aggression against four Greek women pioneers in education, medicine, art and dance. These aggressive acts had been launched by some of their male contemporaries against the women’s efforts to occupy authority or elite positions. The analysis, which falls within the scope of historical (im)politeness research (Kádár and Culpeper 2010), focuses specifically on the rarely addressed issue of how the autobiographers discursively deal with the narrated incidents. The four women’s real-time reactions to, and post hoc appraisals of, the aggressive acts are categorized and discussed by applying and extending Bousfield’s (2007) model of responses to impoliteness. Furthermore, contemporary witness and third-party contributions, offensive and defensive, are analysed in the light of relevant models (Dobs and Garcés-Conejos Blitvich 2013; Bou-Franch and Garcés-Conejos Blitvich 2014). It is found that all four women take a dignified and defiant stance towards the recorded female-exclusionary behaviours, evidencing a common, diachronically/intergenerationally consistent self-heroizing disposition.
