ABSTRACTA better understanding of the genetic and ecological factors underlying successful invasions is critical to mitigate the negative impacts of invasive species. Here, we study the invasion history of Helianthus annuus populations from Argentina, with particular emphasis on the role of post‐introduction admixture with cultivated sunflower (also H. annuus) and climate adaptation driven by large haploblocks. We conducted genotyping‐by‐sequencing of samples of wild populations as well as Argentinian cultivars and compared them with wild (including related annual Helianthus species) and cultivated samples from the native range. We also characterised samples for 11 known haploblocks associated with environmental variation in native populations to test whether haploblocks contributed to invasion success. Population genomics analyses supported two independent geographic sources for Argentinian populations, the central United States and Texas, but no significant contribution of related annual Helianthus species. We found pervasive admixture with cultivated sunflower, likely as result of post‐introduction hybridization. Genomic scans between invasive populations and their native sources identified multiple genomic regions of divergence, possibly indicative of selection, in the invaded range. These regions significantly overlapped between the two native‐invasive comparisons and showed disproportionally high crop ancestry, suggesting that crop alleles contributed to invasion success. We did not find evidence of climate adaptation mediated by haploblocks, yet outliers of genome scans were enriched in haploblock regions and, for at least two haploblocks, the cultivar haplotype was favoured in Argentina. Our results show that admixture with cultivated sunflower played a major role in the establishment and spread of H. annuus populations in Argentina.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to explore and describe nurse managers' perceptions of family and community nurse practitioners' impact on primary care teams and public health. A descriptive qualitative study was carried out. The participants were recruited by means of convenience sampling during the months of April and May 2023. 20 nurse managers from different autonomous communities in Spain were interviewed. The data were analyzed following a thematic analysis method using ATLAS.ti nine software. Two main themes and sub‐themes were drawn from the data analysis: (1) Nurse managers' view of primary care: (a) The driving force of primary care and (b) Resistance to the integration of family and community nurse practitioners; (2) Proposals for improvement in light of the Family and Community Nurse Practitioner's unique situation. These specialists are highly qualified professionals in primary care teams, whose expertise is evident in how they deliver community and health education activities, empower patients, and lead the training of new specialists.

SummaryFathers remain under‐represented in early childhood obesity prevention research and interventions, despite growing evidence that paternal biopsychosocial factors and behaviors from pre‐ and post‐conception can influence lifelong offspring health. Informed by a literature review of high‐quality evidence, “CO–Parent” (childhood obesity–Parent) is a new conceptual model underpinned by couple interdependence theory and a socioecological framework. Literature was searched for the concepts parental AND weight‐related behaviors AND child weight or weight‐related behaviors, in databases including MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Global Health, Scopus, and SocINDEX. Prior evidence syntheses were prioritized as source data to inform model development. “CO–Parent” illustrates the interdependent and independent effects of maternal and paternal weight, weight‐related behaviors, and well‐being, across preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years on child weight‐related behaviors and weight up to age five. The influences of public policy, social, environmental, economic, community, and other complex modifiable mediating factors are included in the model. The “CO–Parent” conceptual model paves the way for a paradigm shift by recognizing fathers as key figures in early childhood obesity prevention initiatives, encouraging them to “share the motherload.” It highlights both the independent and interdependent roles fathers play in the epidemiology of obesity starting from preconception. CO–Parent also provides the foundations necessary to guide future theory and research to be more inclusive of fathers to further understanding of the independent and interdependent influences of parents in early childhood obesity prevention.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThere has been no definitive conclusion on the selection of the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) in Lenke 5C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether it is enough to stop distal fusion at L3 in mild to moderate Lenke 5C AIS patients with posterior selective lumbar fusion, Ponte osteotomies and segmental direct vertebra rotation and to analyze the risk factors for postoperative complications in patients selecting L3 as the LIV.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on 106 Lenke 5C AIS patients who underwent corrective surgery in our institution from 2010 to 2021, with a minimum 2‐year follow‐up. The LIV was L3 or L4. According to the LIV, patients were initially divided into Group I (the LIV was L3) and Group II (the LIV was L4). Then, Group I was further divided into a complication group and a non‐complication group. Demographics, radiological parameters, postoperative complications, and clinical outcomes were recorded. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to identify the risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with L3 as the LIV.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the demographics, radiological parameters, postoperative complications, or clinical outcomes between Group I and Group II (p > 0.05), and the outcomes were satisfactory in both groups. The main postoperative complications were distal adding‐on (11 cases), coronal imbalance (16 cases), proximal junctional kyphosis (2 cases), and internal fixation failure (4 cases). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age and postoperative C7‐CSVL were independent predictors of postoperative complications when selecting L3 as the LIV.ConclusionTerminating the distal fusion level at L3 was practical for mild to moderate Lenke 5C AIS patients. For patients selecting L3 as the LIV, younger patients should be cautious, and maintaining postoperative coronal balance is necessary for avoiding postoperative complications.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is currently one of the most effective treatment methods for end‐stage hip joint disease, and its long‐term effectiveness largely depends on the accurate placement of the acetabular prosthesis. In conventional surgery, the placement of the acetabular prosthesis mainly relies on the surgeon's clinical experience and surgical techniques. To further improve the accuracy of prosthesis placement, a new robotic system for THA is designed. The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness and safety of THA assisted by this robotic system.MethodA multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled, superiority study design was adopted with statistical methods of t test and Chi‐squared test. Participants undergoing primary THA have been enrolled in three centers of joint surgery in China since July 17, 2023. Robotic THA was operated in the experimental group, and conventional instruments were used in the control group. The primary outcome is the proportion of anteversion and inclination angles in the safe zone. The secondary outcomes include operation time, WOMAC score, Harris score, SF‐36 health questionnaire, dislocation rate of hip joint, and rates of adverse events and serious adverse events.ResultsA total of 138 patients were included in this study. The proportion of both anteversion and inclination angles in the safe zone was 92.2% in the experimental group and 50.8% in the control group, with significant difference (p < 0.01). The average operation time in the experimental group and control group was 116.4 and 80.5 min respectively, with significant difference (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in WOMAC score, Harris score, and SF‐36 between the two groups (6 ± 2) weeks after operation (p > 0.05). The dislocation rate of hip joint in the experimental group and control group were 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively, without significant difference (p > 0.05). The rate of adverse events and severe adverse events in the experimental group and control group also showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). No adverse events or serious adverse events were judged to be “definitely related” to the experimental instruments.ConclusionRobotic THA could prolong the operation time within an acceptable range, but more precise acetabular prosthesis positioning could be obtained when compared with conventional surgery. Besides, no significant difference was found in function scores, dislocation rate or other adverse events, which indicates that this new robot system shows both good effectiveness and safety in THA.Trial RegistrationClinical Trials: NCT05947734

ABSTRACTPeach Leaf Curl Disease, caused by Taphrina deformans, is characterized by reddish hypertrophic and hyperplasic leaf areas. To comprehend the biochemical imbalances caused by the fungus, dissected symptomatic (C) and asymptomatic areas (N) from leaves with increasing disease extension were analyzed by an integrated approach including metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics, and complementary biochemical techniques. Drastic metabolic differences were identified in C areas with respect to either N areas or healthy leaves, including altered chloroplastic functioning and composition, which differs from the typical senescence process. In C areas, alteration in redox‐homoeostasis proteins and in triacylglycerols content, peroxidation and double bond index were observed. Proteomic data revealed induction of host enzymes involved in auxin and jasmonate biosynthesis and an upregulation of phenylpropanoid and mevalonate pathways and downregulation of the plastidic methylerythritol phosphate route. Amino acid pools were affected, with upregulation of proteins involved in asparagine synthesis. Curled areas exhibited a metabolic shift towards functioning as a sink tissue importing sugars, probably from N areas, and producing energy through fermentation and respiration and reductive power via the pentose phosphate route. Identifying the metabolic disturbances leading to disease symptoms is a key step in designing strategies to prevent or delay the progression of the disease.

ABSTRACTPlant organs harbour diverse components that connect their physiology to the whole organism. The turnover of metabolites may be higher in some organs than in others, triggering differential growth patterns throughout the organism. We revealed that Solanum lycopersicum exhibits more coordinated growth and physiology across the entire plant compared to wild tomato species. Specifically, young leaves of S. lycopersicum develop more slowly than mature leaves, whereas wild species do not exhibit this pattern. Wild tomato Solanum pennellii displays young leaves with higher photosynthetic rates than mature leaves. Consequently, sucrose metabolism in S. pennellii is quite similar between young and mature leaves, while expression patterns of circadian clock genes differ significantly between leaves of different ages. Additionally, we demonstrated that introducing alleles related to tomato domestication into the wild tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium promotes coordinated growth between young and mature leaves, resulting in similar patterns to those observed in S. lycopersicum. Collectively, S. lycopersicum appears to exhibit more coordinated regulation of growth and metabolism, and understanding this process is likely fundamental to explaining its elevated harvest index.
Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis Is Associated With Harlequin Color Change: A Survey Study
Authors: Maazi Mahan , Lam Joseph M. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTCongenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), also known as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) type IV, is an extremely rare autosomal recessive congenital condition characterized by the loss of sensation to pain and absence of sweating with one case report linking this with harlequin color change. To explore the relationship further, we developed a survey using the Research Electronic Data Capture software and distributed it to families and others with close relationships and knowledge of patients with CIPA. Our results indicate that harlequin color change, characterized by unilateral flushing of the face and/or body, was significant and noted by all respondents as being present early in the condition appearing around the same time as first symptoms and around or before diagnosis of CIPA. Future clinicians should be aware of this dermatological phenomenon and its potential association with CIPA patients, especially during early disease manifestation where diagnosis can be difficult.

ABSTRACTAimTo explore public health nurses' competence (namely knowledge, skills, and attitudes) in relation to long‐term breastfeeding and their experience of the need for additional training on the subject.DesignThe study design was quantitative, descriptive, and cross‐sectional.SamplePublic health nurses (n = 270).MethodsData were collected with the Long‐Term Breastfeeding Competence Scale (LBCS) online survey. Data analysis was done with Spearman's correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis.ResultsSlightly more than half of the respondents had a good level of knowledge and skills. The majority had a baseline positive attitude toward long‐term breastfeeding, but the attitude became more negative as the age of the breastfed child increased. Better competence was associated with younger age, parenthood, an additional degree in midwifery, and breastfeeding specialist certification. Knowledge and skills, and attitudes revealed a high correlation: the higher the knowledge and skills level, the more positive attitudes. Respondents with better knowledge and skills experienced more often the need for additional training on the subject.ConclusionsThis study addresses that public health nurses lack competence in relation to long‐term breastfeeding. This may compromise the quality of breastfeeding guidance for families in healthcare settings.

ABSTRACTAim and ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate psychological symptoms in terms of childhood traumas, spirituality and conflict styles in women victims of violence staying in women's shelters.BackgroundViolence against women is a major public health problem. Spiritual values and practices are especially important for women to cope with the negative effects of violence.Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted in women's shelters in two provinces of the Ministry of Family and Social Policies in Türkiye. The sample consisted of 92 women who had been subjected to violence and stayed in a women's shelter for at least 15 days. The data were collected using the “Brief Symptom Inventory”, “Conflict Tactic Scale”, “Spiritual Well‐Being Scale (SWBS)”, “Childhood Abuse Experiences Scale Short Form”, and “Introductory Information Form” created by the researcher, and the data obtained were evaluated in SPSS 22.0 program. Frequency, percentage, Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, t‐test, one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in the evaluation of the data. In all statistical analyses, p < 0.05 was accepted as the significance level.ResultsIt was found that 64.1% of the women in the study had at least one psychiatric diagnosis and major depression was in the first place (32.2%). According to the mean scores of the Brief Symptom Inventory, the relationships between all subdimensions except the somatization subdimension and the mean scores of the SWBS were found to be inversely significant at p < 0.05 significance level. According to the mean scores of the SWBS, the relationships between all subdimensions except the transcendence subdimension and the mean scores of the Conflict Methods Scale were found to be inversely significant at the p < 0.05 level of significance.ConclusionAccording to the findings obtained from the study, it has been concluded that women should be encouraged to support them in order to be able to cope with the mental problems experienced in the psychiatric sense and to realize their spiritual beliefs and practices.
Addressing governance challenges of digitalisation and sustainability: The case of central bank digital currency
Authors: Wang Heng 
Published: October 2024

AbstractDigitalisation and environmental sustainability are widely discussed topics. However, their nexus remains underexplored and can pose significant challenges for governments and industries alike. The environmental implications of digitalisation are becoming increasingly pertinent with the advent of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and their inherent energy consumption and production of e‐waste. On the other hand, digitalisation could potentially support sustainability efforts. This begs the question of how systems of governance, such as regulatory frameworks and internal organisational governance, should harmonise digitalisation and sustainability goals. Such harmonisation entails ensuring that digitalisation processes are environmentally responsible while exploring how the application and features of digitalisation can help achieve environmental goals. By drawing insights from the case study of CBDCs, this article will utilise the paradigm of adaptive governance to seek potential solutions to the environmental implications of digitalisation.
Singularity formation for the relativistic Euler equations of Chaplygin gases in Schwarzschild spacetime
Authors: Hu Yanbo , Guo Houbin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe study the formation of singularities of smooth solutions to the relativistic Euler equations of Chaplygin gases in Schwarzschild spacetime. The system is in the spherically symmetric form, and its coefficients and nonhomogeneous terms contain a parameter reflecting the mass of the black hole, which makes it highly nonlinear and complicated. To overcome the influence of the mass parameter of black hole, we introduce a pair of suitable auxiliary variables related to it and derive their characteristic decompositions to establish the estimates of the smooth solution. We show that, for a kind of initial data, the smooth solution develops singularity in finite time and the mass‐energy density itself approaches infinity at the blowup point.
