AbstractWe present two critical cases of life‐threatening postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). These cases are the first to show the effectiveness of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) for patient survival. In Case 1, the patient, experiencing critical conditions with severe PPH and DIC despite conventional treatments, including rapid blood transfusion and fibrinogen concentrate, was air‐transferred to our hospital, where REBOA was promptly employed before hysterectomy was completed. Case 2 involved an ambulance‐transferred patient with massive PPH and DIC despite conventional treatments. Prehospital REBOA was performed to prevent cardiac arrest during transfer, and hysterectomy was performed in the hospital. Given the rapid deterioration associated with AFE, REBOA can serve as a bridge until complete hemostasis to maintain vital signs and control bleeding in patients unresponsive to standard therapies before hemostatic interventions or during transfer.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundSkin injuries, which are more prevalent among premature infants, can prolong the hospital stay of preterms in neonatal intensive care units.AimThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness of breast milk in reducing the healing time of skin injuries caused using medical adhesive for securing peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) in late preterm infants, which was evaluated using the Neonatal Skin Condition Scale (NSCS). A randomized controlled trial was conducted with two parallel groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio.Study designIt was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Karaman, Turkey between August and November 2022 with 72 preterm infants born at 35–36 weeks with stable health status and having intravenous catheter securement to the skin with medical adhesive tapes, with the tapes remaining on the skin for a minimum of 24 h and a maximum of 32 h. Preterm infants were randomly assigned to breast milk or routine care groups. The site of the skin injuries was evaluated by two independent observers using the NSCS once every 60 min until the injury was completely healed. A one‐way ANOVA and repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyse the data.ResultsThe average postnatal age was 3.32 ± 0.99 days, and the total duration of medical adhesive tape on the skin was 28.21 ± 2.59 h. A significant difference was found between the mean skin condition scale scores of the infants in the breast milk group (F = 117.219, p < .001) and the routine care group (F = 122.247, p < .001) according to time within the group. The skin injuries of preterm infants in the breast milk group decreased significantly in the first 3 h after the procedure.ConclusionBreast milk application was more effective than routine care in reducing the healing time of skin injuries.Relevance to Clinical PracticeIt can be recommended to use breast milk to heal skin injuries in preterm infants.
Metaphysics of risk and luck
Authors: Hirvelä Jaakko 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAccording to the modal account of luck it is a matter of luck that p if p is true at the actual world, but false in a wide‐range of nearby worlds. According to the modal account of risk, it is risky that p if p is true at some close world. I argue that the modal accounts of luck and risk do not mesh well together. The views entail that p can be both maximally risky and maximally lucky, but there is nothing which is both maximally lucky and maximally risky. I offer a novel theory of risk that fits together with the modal account of luck and demonstrate that it is both extensionally and formally superior to extant proposals.
Varieties of future‐contingency
Authors: Green Mitchell 
Published: June 2024

AbstractI here examine some of the main contentions of Todd's “The Open Future”. I argue first that a future contingent need not contain locutions such as “will” or cognates and that once this is recognized a trilemma emerges for Todd, putting pressure on him to relinquish one of the book's main aims. Then after noting (Section II) Todd's response to a puzzle A.N. prior had raised for betting on an open‐future style view, I turn (Sections IIIa and IIIb) to his discussion of whether his approach is committed to demanding that ordinary speakers reform their talk about the future. I conclude (Section IV) that the objective of the replacement strategy that Todd recommends could be achieved with less violence to ordinary linguistic practices with the help of a view on which “will” and cognates are polysemous.

Published: June 2024

AbstractEndometritis is a common postpartum disease in cows. It delays uterine involution and impairs normal physiological function. This can result in long‐term or even lifelong infertility and cause significant losses to the dairy farming industry. Traditional treatments like antibiotics possess certain shortcomings, such as antibiotic residues, the abuse of antibiotics, and increased antimicrobial resistance of pathogens. Alternative treatment strategies are needed to minimize the utilization of antibiotics in dairy production. As an essential trace element in animals, selenium (Se) plays a vital role in regulating immune function, the inflammatory response, and oxidative stress, affecting the speed and completeness of tissue repair. This paper reviewed previous studies to analyse the potential of Se in the prevention and treatment of bovine endometritis, aiming to provide a new direction to increase production capacity in the future.
When Do Authoritarian Regimes Use Digital Technologies for Covert Repression? A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Politico‐Economic Conditions
Authors: Daminov Ildar 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAlthough autocracies increasingly learn how to integrate digital technologies into their covert repression toolbox, it remains unclear under which conditions they succeed in doing so. While some technologically developed autocracies seldom use covert repression, other technologically underdeveloped autocracies apply significantly more covert repression. This begs the question: what are the necessary and sufficient conditions involving strong digital uptake leading to high levels of covert repression? The paper uses Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to 83 non‐democratic regimes and leverages the 2021 digital repression dataset to answer this question. The findings show that digital uptake interacts with a pre‐existing history of overt repression. In‐depth case illustrations of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan elucidate this argument. The findings also show two other “non‐digital” pathways to high levels of covert repression, providing foundations for future evidence‐based case selection investigating covert repression patterns in autocracies.
Scaling up time–geographic computation for movement interaction analysis
Authors: Liu Yifei , Battersby Sarah , Dodge Somayeh 
Published: June 2024

AbstractUnderstanding interactions through movement provides critical insights into urban dynamic, social networks, and wildlife behaviors. With widespread tracking of humans, vehicles, and animals, there is an abundance of large and high‐resolution movement data sets. However, there is a gap in efficient GIS tools for analyzing and contextualizing movement patterns using large movement datasets. In particular, tracing space–time interactions among a group of moving individuals is a computationally demanding task, which would uncover insights into collective behaviors across systems. This article develops a Spark‐based geo‐computational framework through the integration of Esri's ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine and Python to optimize the computation of time geography for scaling up movement interaction analysis. The computational framework is then tested using a case study on migratory turkey vultures with over 2 million GPS tracking points across 20 years. The outcomes indicate a drastic reduction in interaction detection time from 14 days to 6 hours, demonstrating a remarkable increase in computational efficiency. This work contributes to advancing GIS computational capabilities in movement analysis, highlighting the potential of GeoAnalytics Engine in processing large spatiotemporal datasets.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundReported bleeding incidences following central venous catheter (CVC) placement highly depend on methods of bleeding assessment. To determine the direction and magnitude of the bias associated with retrospective data collection, we used data from the PACER randomized controlled trial and a previous retrospective cohort study.Study Design and MethodsA patient‐level comparison of CVC‐related bleeding severity was made among (1) the prospectively collected clinical bleeding assessment of the PACER trial, (2) centralized assessment of CVC insertion site photographs, and (3) retrospective chart review. Interrater reliability for photographic bleeding assessment and retrospective chart review was assessed using Cohen's κ. The magnitude of underreporting of both methods compared to prospective clinical bleeding assessment at different cutoff points of clinically relevant bleeding was assessed using McNemar's test.ResultsInterrater reliability was acceptable for both methods (κ = 0.583 and κ = 0.481 for photographic assessment and retrospective chart review, respectively). Photographic bleeding assessment led to significant underreporting of bleeding complications at all cutoff points. Retrospective chart review led to significant underreporting of minor bleeding complications, with an odds ratio (95% CI) of 0.17 (0.044–0.51) for the cutoff point grade 1 (i.e., self‐limiting or requiring at most 20 min of manual compression) or higher. There was no significant underreporting of major bleeding complications with retrospective chart review.DiscussionCentralized photographic bleeding assessment and retrospective chart review lead to biased bleeding assessment compared to prospective clinical bleeding assessment.
Absolutely Fuzzy Lipschitz p-summing Maps between Fuzzy Pointed Metric Spaces
Authors: Saleh Saleh Manaf Adnan , K. Shaakir Laith 
Published: June 2024

Motivated by Lipschitz ideals in the conventional (crisp) theory, we are constructing a new Lipschitz ideal in fuzzy theory. We introduce the notion of fuzzy Lipschitz ideals and give some elementary illustrations. The class of absolutely fuzzy Lipschitz -summing maps between arbitrary fuzzy pointed metric spaces is a significant category of fuzzy Lipschitz ideals. It is a logical extension of the concept of absolutely (crisp) Lipschitz p-summing maps between arbitrary pointed metric spaces, as established by Farmer Jeffrey and William Johnson. We establish that the fuzzy Lipschitz norm of the previously specified concept is a fuzzy real number. We demonstrate that a complete fuzzy normed fuzzy operator ideal is the resulting class of fuzzy Lipschitz operators between arbitrary fuzzy pointed metric spaces and complete fuzzy normed spaces. Next, we define a basic characterisation of a Lipschitz p-summing map that is completely fuzzy. By demonstrating a fuzzy variant of the nonlinear Pietsch Domination Theorem, this is accomplished. Lastly, we bring forth a few unsolved problems that we find intriguing.

Published: June 2024

IntroductionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder that arises from complex interactions between genetics, environment and gut microbiota. It encompasses Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and IBD-unclassified. The protracted course of IBD imposes a significant burden on patients’ quality of life, economic productivity, social functioning, as well as treatment, hospitalisation and surgery. This study aims to conduct an umbrella review of meta-analyses to systematically evaluate the methodology’s quality, potential biases and validity of all epidemiological evidence focused on risk factors for IBD while providing an overview of the evidence concerning IBD risk factors.Methods and analysisWe will systematically search, extract and analyse data from reported systematic reviews and meta-analyses that specifically focus on the risk factors of IBD, following the guidelines outlined in Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of Reviews. Our search will encompass PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from the initial period up until April 2023 (last update), targeting systematic reviews and meta-analyses based on non-interventional studies. Inclusion criteria allow for systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating IBD risk factors across all countries and settings, regardless of ethnicity or sex. The identified risk factors will be categorised according to the health ecological model into innate personal traits, behavioural lifestyles, interpersonal networks, socioeconomic status and macroenvironments. To assess methodological quality for each meta-analysis included in our study, two authors will employ a measurement tool to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews (AMSTAR)-2, Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria along with evidence classification criteria.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this umbrella review. We will seek to submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal or present it at conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023417175.

Published: June 2024

PurposeThis cohort study addresses the need for comprehensive and longitudinal research on police officers’ mental health, focusing on the relationship between occupational factors, individual characteristics and mental health status or suicidality. The Mental COP (Mental health Cohort Of Police officers in Korea) research provides important insights by tracking new police officers over time, contributing to evidence-based interventions and policies to improve their overall mental health and working conditions.ParticipantsMental Cop is a prospective open cohort study designed for new police officers for police recruitment, expected to graduate after 8 months of education at the Central Police Academy. To date, 6752 individuals have completed the baseline survey and are enrolled in the cohort.Finding to dateThe study data in Mental COP covered a wide range of issues for first responders, including personal factors, various mental health problems, occupational factors and measured biomarkers of allostatic load, including Heart Rate Variability. The main findings indicate a lower prevalence of mental health problems among those selected as new police officers compared with the general population with notable gender differences. Therefore, closer monitoring of women is required. Furthermore, the study revealed cohort-based differences in mental health, highlighting increased risk related to occupational factors (field training) and the management of vulnerable groups.Future plansAnother wave of Mental COP is scheduled for December 2023, with plans for future cohort expansion. Additionally, it will establish a more comprehensive and systematic scientific framework for future investigations by integrating broader medical examinations and National Health Insurance Service Data.

IntroductionDepression is a major global health problem, with high prevalence rates of depressive symptoms observed among the elderly population in China, particularly exacerbating in rural areas. Due to a lack of professional mental health training and inadequate psychotherapy capacity within primary medical staff, rural elderly individuals grappling with depressive symptoms often encounter challenges in receiving timely diagnosis and treatment. In this landscape, the modified behavioural activation treatment (MBAT) emerges as a promising approach due to its practicality, ease of therapist training and application, patient acceptability, and broad applicability. However, existing evidence for MBAT mainly hails from developed countries, leaving a gap in its adaptation and implementation within rural China. This study aims to develop an MBAT training programme for primary medical staff to manage depressive symptoms among rural elderly and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods and analysisA cluster randomised controlled trial will be conducted in 10 randomly selected township hospitals in Lengshuijiang and Lianyuan, Hunan Province. We aim to recruit 150 participants, with 5 township hospitals selected for each group, each consisting of 15 participants. The intervention group will implement the MBAT training programme, while the control group will receive usual care training programme. Depressive symptoms, psychosocial functioning, quality of life and satisfaction will be measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3 and 6 months post-intervention. Effectiveness will be assessed using linear or generalised linear mixed models.Ethics and disseminationThis study has obtained approval from the Institutional Review Board of the Third Xiangya Hospital, Centre South University (No.: 2022-S261). Results will be disseminated through publication in international peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international conferences.Trial registration numberChiCTR2300074544.

The present study identified 20 liverwort species from Tirap district, Arunachal Pradesh, India, marking the first ever documentation of bryophytes from the region. The specimens were collected from various locations within the study area and subsequently brought to the laboratory. Micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of the specimens were analysed and identified by consulting relevant literatures. Three species, viz. Plagiochila himalayana Schiffn., P. khasiana Mitt., and Solenostoma lanigerum (Mitt.) Váňa & D.G.Long, are newly reported for the first time from the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The species were found to be an integral part of ecosystem growing in association with various plant species, providing soil stability, and shelter for other organisms. The study is important for understanding bryophyte diversity and ecosystem health of the region. In addition, it will also help in planning conservation strategy and sustainable management of bryophytes, their habitat or host species and the overall biodiversity in the region.
Comparing Humans and Large Language Models on an Experimental Protocol Inventory for Theory of Mind Evaluation (EPITOME)
Authors: Jones Cameron R. , Trott Sean , Bergen Benjamin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We address a growing debate about the extent to which large language models (LLMs) produce behavior consistent with Theory of Mind (ToM) in humans. We present EPITOME: a battery of six experiments that tap diverse ToM capacities, including belief attribution, emotional inference, and pragmatic reasoning. We elicit a performance baseline from human participants for each task. We use the dataset to ask whether distributional linguistic information learned by LLMs is sufficient to explain ToM in humans. We compare performance of five LLMs to a baseline of responses from human comprehenders. Results are mixed. LLMs display considerable sensitivity to mental states and match human performance in several tasks. Yet, they commit systematic errors in others, especially those requiring pragmatic reasoning on the basis of mental state information. Such uneven performance indicates that human-level ToM may require resources beyond distributional information.
