AbstractRapid assessment for alcohol use in clinical practice and research is key to improved health and study participation. We assessed the correlation between Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score and responses from a single question on frequency of alcohol use among people living in fishing communities of Uganda. Four hundred nineteen participants screened for a simulated vaccine efficacy trial completed the AUDIT and single question. Spearman’s correlation coefficients compared the two tools. There was significant correlation between the AUDIT score and the single question (rho = 0.824, P < 0.001). The single question can be used as an alternative to the full AUDIT during screening.

Effektiveres Pandemiemanagement durch sozialwissenschaftliche Politikberatung? Ein kritischer Kommentar zu Jörn Knoblochs Beitrag in Heft 4/2023
Authors: Bach Maurizio 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungDer Kommentar setzt sich kritisch mit Jörn Knoblochs Analyse des Corona-Pandemiemanagements in Deutschland auseinander. Er hinterfragt die Behauptung Knoblochs, durch eine stärkere Berücksichtigung von Sozialwissenschaftlern in den einschlägigen Beratungsgremien hätte eine effektivere Krisenbewältigung erreicht werden können. Der Beitrag fokussiert zum einen die strukturellen epistemischen Grenzen sowohl der biomedizinischen Wissenschaften als auch der empirischen Sozialforschung. Zum anderen beleuchtet er die Eigenlogik politischer Entscheidungsprozesse, die durch die Notwendigkeit der Unsicherheitsabsorption und Systemstabilisierung geprägt sind und gegenüber externen Einflüssen als relativ immun erscheinen. Der Beitrag plädiert für eine differenzierte Betrachtung der Schnittstelle zwischen wissenschaftlicher Beratung und politischer Praxis und mahnt eine kritische Reflexion der Rolle und der Grenzen der wissenschaftsgestützten Politikberatung an.
Human–nature connectedness is positively correlated with the perceived value of nature regardless of urbanization levels

Published: September 2024

AbstractUrbanization has affected the economy, ecosystem, and human health. In addition to these direct and physical impacts, urbanization is suggested to affect our preferences and valuation with respect to nature, including people’s perceived values of nature and human–nature connectedness (HNC). Perceived values of nature and HNC are essential for constructing and maintaining sustainable cities. However, the relationship between urbanization, HNC, and perceived values of nature has not been sufficiently elucidated. This study aimed to quantitatively examine this relationship and to generate new insights into methods for enhancing people’s perceived values of nature. The study focused on the following research questions: (1) How different is residents’ HNC under varying urbanization levels? (2) How different is the relationship between HNC and the perceived values of nature under varying urbanization levels? This study categorized perceived values of nature into “relational values” and “instrumental values”. A questionnaire was administered to the residential population in three study areas in Nagareyama City, Japan, each representing a rural, urbanizing, and urban area. The data were subjected to factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), and multi-group SEM. The results indicate that residents’ HNC is weaker in urbanizing and urban areas than in rural areas. The findings also suggest that HNC positively correlates with the perceived values of nature, regardless of urbanization levels. These results indicate that considering HNC is crucial in nature management to understand people’s value perceptions and conservation attitudes as well as to enhance their value perceptions toward surrounding nature under varying urbanization levels.

Abstract
Objective
This study investigates the mediating role of rumination in the relationship between work-related stress and sleep quality. Sleep quality is a critical component of mental health and wellbeing. Work-related stress is a potential risk factor for poor sleep quality, and this research focuses on how the constructs of rumination—affective rumination, detachment, and problem-solving rumination—may mediate this association.

Methods
Data from the Dresden Burnout Study were analyzed cross-sectionally and longitudinally over three timepoints. The sample included 360 full- and parttime employees. Work-related stress was assessed using the effort–reward Imbalance Questionnaire, sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and rumination using the Work-Related Rumination Questionnaire.

Results
The study found that work-related stress was positively correlated with reduced sleep quality, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. In addition, work-related stress predicted increased levels of affective rumination and detachment but not of problem-solving rumination. Affective rumination and detachment partially mediated the relationship between work-related stress and sleep quality, suggesting that individuals who experience higher levels of work-related stress are more likely to engage in ruminative thoughts about their work experiences, which, in turn, leads to reduced sleep quality.

Conclusion
These findings highlight the importance of considering cognitive processes such as rumination when addressing sleep disturbance related to work stress. Future research should include objective measures of sleep quality and consider shorter intervals to capture immediate changes in stress and sleep patterns. By addressing these factors, healthcare professionals can better support those suffering from sleep disturbance due to work-related stress. Ultimately, this may have a positive impact on their overall wellbeing and productivity at work.
Incidence of lymphedema related to various cancers

Published: September 2024

AbstractCancer-related lymphedema (CRL) lacks internationally accepted definition and diagnostic criteria. The accurate incidence of CRL is therefore a challenge and the condition is likely underreported. Patients treated for cancer can develop CRL as a result of surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, which can lead to considerable psychosocial and physical morbidity, and decreased quality of life. Determining CRL incidence is crucial to inform care access and resource allocation, to best support patients affected by this lifelong condition. This review aimed to provide the latest CRL incidence estimates. Using four core databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library), a literature search was performed to capture publications dated between 2015 and 2023. A total of 48 articles (33 prospective studies, 15 systematic reviews) met inclusion criteria, providing a sample size of 234,079 cancer patients. Findings revealed CRL incidence across cancer types varied, reported 2–74% in breast, 8–45% in gynecological and urological, 71–90% in head and neck and 2–29% in melanoma cancers. CRL incidence varied between 3 and 21% in preventative lymphedema surgery patients. Projected increases in cancer incidence and improved survival rates are expected to further escalate CRL incidence. Healthcare systems and professionals alike must therefore prepare to meet the growing needs of CRL patients.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn recent years, the study demands-resources model (SD-R) has received significant attention as a comprehensive framework that identifies school burnout antecedents and adverse consequences. Our main study aim was to identify school burnout profiles among early adolescents and examine the associated personal and social resources. A cross-sectional study collected data from Polish and Turkish youths (N = 959,57.1% from Poland) through a paper-pencil and online survey measuring four school burnout dimensions, personal resources and social resources. 27 Three school burnout profiles were identified: (Profile 1) Highly Burned-out Students (14.8%), (Profile 2) Slightly Burned-out Students (63.5%), (Profile 3) Unburned-out Students (21.7%). Students from Profile 1 scored significantly lower in social and personal resource. The membership in Profile 2 was predicted by worse relationships with important adults (parents, teachers), and lower self-esteem compared to Profile 3. Our findings confirmed that school burnout symptoms are experienced (even slightly) by a relatively high number of youths.
Detecting Noncredible Responding in College Student ADHD Assessment: A Comparison of Several Brief Symptom Validity Tests
Authors: Weis Robert , Costenbader Reese 
Published: September 2024

AbstractA diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) offers tangible and psychological benefits to college students. These incentives lead some students to exaggerate symptoms on self-report rating scales. Although validity tests can detect noncredible responding, they are seldom used by clinicians who conduct adult ADHD evaluations. Many validity tests require considerable time, are expensive to administer, or are not accessible to many clinicians. We conducted a between-subjects simulation study examining the ability of several brief symptom validity tests to differentiate college students with self-reported ADHD (n = 229) and students without ADHD randomly assigned to honest control (n = 260) or simulator (n = 239) conditions. All participants completed the Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS) with several embedded validity indicators (i.e., CAARS Inconsistency Index, CAARS Infrequency Index [CII], Dissociative Experiences Scale, Exaggeration Index [EI]), and the Subtle ADHD Malingering Screener. Results showed that students without ADHD could easily simulate this condition. Simulators earned significantly higher scores than participants in the ADHD and control conditions on all the validity tests that we examined, except the CAARS Inconsistency Index. Elevated scores on the CAARS hyperactive-impulsive scale, the CII, or the EI yielded the best classification statistics with specificity to controls ranging from 98.5 to 100%, sensitivity to simulators ranging from 35.6 to 42.7%, and low positive cases among participants in the ADHD condition. Associations between these validity scales were moderate. Requiring elevated scores on multiple validity scales yielded perfect specificity to controls, sensitivities to simulators between 27.2 and 31.8%, and few positive cases among participants in the ADHD condition (0 to 3.1%). These tests may offer clinicians a time- and cost-effective way to evaluate the validity of students’ self-reports, especially when integrated with objective information from other sources.

Published: September 2024

AbstractAcute liver failure secondary to metastatic melanoma is exceedingly rare with the literature limited to case reports. The disease itself presents with vague symptoms making diagnosis difficult without a high clinical suspicion. Further to this, the prognosis of acute liver failure secondary to metastatic melanoma is dismal. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with a distant history of previously excised cutaneous melanoma who presented to our institution with abdominal pain and liver enzyme derangement suggestive of acute hepatitis. Due to progressive derangement in liver function and cross-sectional imaging suggestive of an infiltrative cause, a left axillary lymph node was biopsied which demonstrated metastatic melanoma. The patient subsequently deteriorated into acute liver failure and despite acute treatment of his underlying metastatic melanoma died 17 days post initial presentation. This case highlights an uncommon cause of acute liver failure as well as the poor prognosis associated with acute liver failure secondary to metastatic melanoma.
Differentiated measurement of cognitive loads in computer programming
Authors: Quintero-Manes Roxana , Vieira Camilo 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study had two objectives: (1) to evaluate the validity of an instrument for measuring differentiated cognitive loads in its Spanish version; and (2) to evaluate the three types of cognitive loads and their relationship with self-efficacy, self-concept, and interest in programming of students in an introductory course. Understanding and assessing cognitive loads when learning computer programming is key to supporting student learning. While there are instruments in English and German assessing the different types of cognitive loads, there is no validated instrument in Spanish. This study took place during the implementation of an online training program in basic programming, with a sample of 1162 students. We used Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis to validate the structure of the instrument. The results allowed us to establish a factorial structure of the subjective scale of differentiated cognitive loads, managing to measure the germane, intrinsic, and extraneous cognitive loads. The bivariate correlation analysis allowed identifying statistically significant associations between the study variables, including (a) the negative relationship between extraneous cognitive load and germane cognitive load and (b) the negative relationship between extraneous cognitive load and self-efficacy in programming.
Research participant perceptions of personal utility in disclosure of individual research results from genomic analysis

Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article elaborates research participant perspectives on the communication of individual research results from genomic analyses. While most analyses focus on how to communicate results from the perspectives of clinicians or researchers, there is insufficient data on user perspectives and how this information may be used, valued, and interpreted by patients and their families. The concept of personal utility, which considers factors related to quality of life, including on how information may impact the person’s future decisions, has been shown to be particularly relevant to understand research participant perspectives and to move beyond clinical and analytic utility factors such as mortality and morbidity. This article draws from qualitative research of research participants awaiting genomic results in the case of sudden cardiac death. Our results show perspectives of personal utility in communication of genomic results, including cognitive, behavioral, and affective outcomes. Cognitive outcomes include gain of information, improved knowledge of etiology and inheritance characteristics, and curiosity for what might be found. Behavioral outcomes include being able to plan life decisions, while affective outcomes include various coping strategies used. We will also discuss the value of knowing negative results and incidental findings from the research participant’s perspective. This contribution gives suggestions on best practices to guide genome analysis returns, including incorporating participant wishes on individualized communication at the consent stage; developing relational autonomy approaches; and engaging them throughout the research trajectory.
The interplay of context and need: unravelling the interwoven threads of teachers’ professional learning/development
Authors: Nezhad Parivash Mohammad , Stolz Steven A. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDespite the growing emphasis on professional learning/development, a significant gap exists in the design and implementation of current professional learning/development programs, often failing to integrate the voices of teachers regarding their learning needs and interests. Our study, conducted across primary and secondary schools in the Greater Adelaide region, reveals that these programs dictated by school improvement plans, often sideline teachers’ perspectives. This paper presents practising teachers’ perspectives on their learning needs. It also examines the perceived barriers to addressing these needs, incorporating insights from teachers and school leaders utilising a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews. While aligning with recent literature, our study’s findings uncover complexities in the educational system that influence meeting teachers’ learning needs, using a unique theoretical framework to interpret the data.

Text and Data Mining Exceptions in Latin America
Authors: Schirru Luca , Rocha de Souza Allan , Valente Mariana G. , de Perdigão Lana Alice 
Published: September 2024

AbstractText and data mining (TDM) is a powerful tool in the knowledge discovery process and an essential step in the process of training Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Whether forms of use needed for TDM conflict with copyright rules is still a matter for debate within the specialized literature and when designing new legislation across the globe. Despite the borderless nature of research and the fact that the interplay between TDM and copyright is a matter of interest to all regions, most of the focus in the existing literature is on countries or examples from the Global North. This study contributes to filling this gap by providing additional information on recent developments across Latin America regarding the need for copyright legislation to adapt to data-intensive research practices and uses. It also provides a set of practical examples and issues specific to that region. It is hoped that these will, at least, partially, contribute to a more universal approach to the issue around the globe.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) rely on immunosuppressants like mycophenolate to prevent organ rejection. However, mycophenolate often causes intestinal symptoms and inflammation in various organs, including the skin and the colon. While KTRs have an increased risk for skin cancer, the risk of colorectal cancer is not increased.
Elucidating the histological alterations in the colon of KTRs and comparing these changes with known skin alterations would help understand how immunosuppressants influence cancer development and progression.

Methods
Whole slide images from gut biopsies (Non-transplanted subjects n = 35, KTRs n = 49) were analyzed using the ImageJ and R programming environment. A total of 22,035 epithelial cells, 38,870 interstitial cells, 3465 epithelial cell mitoses, and 7477 endothelial cells, each characterized by multiple microscopy parameters, from a total of 1788 glands were analyzed. The large database was subsequently analyzed to verify the changes of inflammatory milieu in KTRs and in cancer.

Results
KTRs without colon-cancer showed a significantly higher density of interstitial cells in the colon compared to non-transplanted patients. Moreover, the increase in interstitial cell number was accompanied by subtle modifications in the architecture of the colon glands, without altering the epithelial cell density. We could not identify significant structural modifications in cancer samples between KTRs and non-transplanted patients.

Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate an increased number of resident interstitial cells in the colon of KTRs, as in other patients treated with mycophenolate. These changes are associated with subtle alterations in the architecture of colon glands.
