Published: June 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis proof‐of‐concept study presents findings from the Illinois Strong Couples project, a statewide initiative to disseminate an efficacious couple relationship education (CRE) program through a state Cooperative Extension System.BackgroundAmong family scholars, federally funded initiatives to disseminate CRE programming to couples have received strong support as well as equally strong opposition. The current study describes and evaluates a new dissemination approach designed to satisfy concerns from both sides of this debate.MethodThe sample comprised 340 individuals (170 couples) who participated in the online ePREP program with remote coaching and completed three survey assessments over 6 months.ResultsSignificant short‐ and long‐term improvements were observed in multiple dimensions of relationship functioning (e.g., declines in communication conflict, relationship instability concerns) and individual functioning (e.g., declines in psychological distress, sleep problems). Effect sizes, in general, were medium for relationship outcomes and small for individual outcomes. Greater attendance forecasted greater gains in relationship outcomes, particularly for men. Changes over time were generally similar irrespective of household income and, when evident, indicated greater improvement for lower‐income women compared to higher income.ConclusionFindings highlight the ability to disseminate effectively an evidence‐based CRE program within a state Extension system.ImplicationsThis project illustrates a sustainable and potentially scalable strategy to disseminate CRE programming that can complement other approaches for CRE dissemination as a means to promote relationship and individual well‐being among help‐seeking couples.

Abstract

Ecological traits are functional characteristics measurable at the species level and provide valuable insights into how organisms respond to environmental constraints. Here, we investigated how diatom trait‐groups and individual species respond to environmental variables, and identified indicator species that are particularly sensitive to environmental variation.

Diatoms were sampled at 129 sites in the subarctic streams of Norwegian islands and mainland, and were categorised into three trait groups: high‐profile species that live in an erect position, low‐profile species living in low position along the surface, and motile diatoms. Data were analysed using a recently developed method known as Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities, which is a flexible framework for joint species distribution modelling.

We found that diatom trait‐groups responded relatively weakly to measured environmental variables but showed positive or negative relationships with major ion levels of the water (e.g., conductivity, calcium [Ca2+], sodium [Na+] or chlorine [Cl−]). Variance partitioning showed a similar, important contribution of the chemical variables for all of the trait groups, while the contributions of physical variables and especially random (spatial) factors were notably lower for all trait groups.

Our findings also highlighted considerable among‐species variation in their relation to environmental variables within the trait groups. Notably, we identified a high number of indicator species within each trait group that were explained by specific environmental factors, mostly chemical variables (conductivity, pH, total nitrogen and phosphorus, Ca2+, Na+, Cl−).

Our study suggests that certain diatom species can be considered as useful environmental indicators but the variability in species preferences within the trait group may in some circumstances hamper the use of ecological traits in environmental assessments. Thus, we suggest using species‐level ecology combined with trait information to better track environmental change when using diatoms as indicators.
Evidence of a temperature–oxygen squeeze within floodplain thermal refuge habitats
Authors: Barrett Hannah , Gregory Stanley , Armstrong Jonathan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Vertical heterogeneity in lakes and estuaries can present cold‐adapted fishes with a temperature–oxygen squeeze, such that the epilimnion is stressfully warm and the cooler hypolimnion is hypoxic, thereby restricting fishes to the metalimnion. In temperate floodplain rivers, patches of lentic habitat (e.g., alcoves) have the potential to provide thermal refuge for cold‐water fishes during summer, but little is known about whether these smaller habitat features present fish with temperature–oxygen constraints. In this study, we measured temperature and oxygen profiles in six cold‐water alcoves on the Willamette River floodplain (Oregon, U.S.A.) to characterise potential trade‐offs in temperature and oxygen for a cold‐water fish, coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii).

To evaluate how fish responded to trade‐offs, we used synergistic methods (needle probe thermocouple, surgically implanted iButtons, and external temperature transmitting radio tags) to monitor fish body temperatures at different temporal scales and compare them to temperature–depth profiles.

The cold‐water alcoves displayed a linear relationship between dissolved oxygen and temperature, where cooler temperatures came at the expense of reduced oxygen. Fish body temperatures were intermediate to temperatures recorded at the surface and bottom of the alcove. The span of depths selected by these fish represents less than 20% of the available vertical habitat in these alcoves.

These results demonstrate that refuges formed by cool hyporheic upwelling can generate a temperature–oxygen squeeze where fish use only a subset of the refuge habitat feature. Oxygen constraints on thermal refuge use may be a blind spot for climate adaptation planning for cold‐water fishes, because dissolved oxygen data are limited compared to water temperature data, and many cool refuges are fed by subsurface flows which are potentially hypoxic.
‘Pragmatists’ and ‘Rebels’: Ambivalent Success Frames of Chinese International Secondary School Graduates in the United States
Authors: Tu Siqi 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTUpper‐middle‐class Chinese families send children to the United States for high school to exit what some perceive as an ‘unhappy’ educational environment in China or in pursuit of a ‘better education’ in the United States. However, for some students, the American high school experience itself may be marked by ‘unhappiness’, endured in the pursuit of ‘success’. Based on ethnographic interviews with Chinese youth attending private American high schools, this study illustrates how narratives of unhappiness surrounding such transnational educational choices result in multiple success frames among students, categorized as ‘pragmatists’ and ‘rebels’. Those who downplay happiness or experience unhappiness in the US context tend to adopt the ‘pragmatic’ frame, while those emphasizing their exit from an ‘unhappy’ situation are more likely to align with the ‘rebel’ frame. Despite slight deviations from parental expectations, the relative economic security of these families enables Chinese youth to develop ambivalent success frames based on their familiarity with both US and Chinese contexts, questioning the dominance of a singular success narrative.
Sampling in Long‐Screened Wells: Issues, Misconceptions, and Solutions

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe issues associated with long‐screened wells (LSWs) (and open boreholes) at contaminated sites are well documented in the groundwater literature but are still not fully appreciated in practice. As established in seminal and review papers going back over three decades, the interpretation of sampling results from LSWs is challenging in the presence of vertical hydraulic gradients and borehole flow; furthermore, LSWs allow for vertical redistribution of contamination between aquifer layers. Acknowledgment of these issues has led to the development of new technologies and well designs to enable discrete‐zone monitoring (DZM), yet LSWs remain common for many reasons, for example, as multipurpose wells, for geophysical logging, and (or) as legacy installations. Despite the literature on LSWs and despite the adoption of DZM at many sites, the use of LSWs persists and the challenges of interpreting sampling results from LSWs remain. In this issue paper, we provide a conceptual overview of the problems posed by LSWs and review existing literature and past work to improve the interpretation of sampling in LSWs. We draw on experience from previous studies at the Hanford Site in eastern WA, USA, and use synthetic examples to illustrate key concepts and challenges for interpretation. A recently published analytical modeling framework is used to develop illustrative synthetic examples and demonstrate a workflow for building scientific intuition to understand issues around interpreting samples from LSWs, which is critical to effective characterization and groundwater remediation at sites with LSWs.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the prevalence and impact of neck pain during headache among respondents with migraine in the multicountry Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes – International (CaMEO‐I) Study.BackgroundNeck pain among individuals with migraine is highly prevalent and contributes to disability.MethodsThe CaMEO‐I was a prospective, cross‐sectional, web‐based study conducted in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and the United States. A demographically representative sample of participants from each country completed a screening survey to evaluate headache characteristics. Respondents with headache were identified as having migraine or non‐migraine headache based on modified International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition, criteria; those with migraine completed a detailed survey with migraine‐specific assessments. Results were stratified by the presence or absence of neck pain with headache (NPWH). For these analyses, data were pooled across the six countries.ResultsOf 51,969 respondents who reported headache within the past 12 months, 14,492 (27.9%) were classified as having migraine; the remaining 37,477 (72.1%) had non‐migraine headache. Overall, 9896/14,492 (68.3%) of respondents with migraine headache reported NPWH, which was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the proportion of respondents with non‐migraine headache who reported NPWH (13,536/37,477 [36.1%]). Among respondents with migraine, moderate‐to‐severe disability was significantly more prevalent for those with NPWH versus without (47.7% [4718/9896] vs. 28.9%, p < 0.001). Respondents with NPWH versus without also had significantly greater work productivity losses, at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) of 50.0 (20.0, 71.3) vs. 30.0 (0.0, 60.0) (p < 0.001), lower quality of life (Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life questionnaire version 2.1, median [IQR] Role Function–Restrictive domain score 60.0 [42.9, 74.3] vs. 68.6 [54.3, 82.9], p < 0.001), higher prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms (depression, 40.2% [3982/9896] vs. 28.2% [1296/4596], p < 0.001); anxiety, 41.2% [4082/9896] vs. 29.2% [1343/4596], p < 0.001), higher prevalence of cutaneous allodynia during headache (54.0% [5345/9896] vs. 36.6% [1681/4596], p < 0.001), and higher prevalence of poor acute treatment optimization (61.1% [5582/9129] vs. 53.3% [2197/4122], p < 0.001).ConclusionsNearly 70% of respondents with migraine reported NPWH. Individuals with migraine with neck pain during their headaches had greater disability, depression, anxiety, and cutaneous allodynia (during headache) than those without neck pain during their headaches. They also had diminished quality of life and work productivity, and poorer response to acute treatment compared with those without neck pain.

Authors: Gao Ying , Zhang Shuai , Ma Wen 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTIntroductionIn response to evolving patient‐centred care initiatives, this study investigates teasing in Chinese outpatient interactions. By exploring how teasing impacts knowledge exchange and decision‐making processes, the research underscores its utility in enhancing patient engagement and communication efficacy, aligning with China's healthcare reform objectives.MethodsUtilizing conversation analysis, the study meticulously examines a series of outpatient interactions, identifying and analyzing instances of teasing. Through a detailed investigation of the sequential organization, design features, and interactional tasks accomplished by teasing, the research unravels the complex mechanisms through which teasing operates within clinical settings.ResultsFindings reveal that teasing is a sequential accomplishment that is intertwined with institutional contingencies and embedded in overarching sequential projects of clinics. Teases often arise from subtle cues that may lead to delicate moments and are crafted with a blend of playfulness and seriousness, serving to bridge the gap between patient experiences and medical expertise. This study highlights how teasing facilitates the exchange of knowledge and influences collaborative decision‐making, marking a departure from its more casual use in everyday interactions. Teasing acts as a catalyst for a more profound comprehension of medical facts, encouraging patients to actively participate in their care by expressing concerns and preferences, thus aligning medical decisions with patient autonomy. The responses to teases vary, reflecting the complexity of clinical communication and the need for a delicate balance between humour and professionalism.ConclusionsThe study underscores the significance of teasing as a multifaceted communicative practice within outpatient clinical interactions. It highlights how teasing can contribute to a more nuanced and patient‐centred approach to healthcare, enhancing the collaborative exploration of medical advice and fostering a more engaging and empathetic clinical environment.Patient or Public ContributionThis study utilized real outpatient interactions, with participants' informed consent. The analysis focused on authentic teasing exchanges between clinicians and patients, ensuring the findings reflect genuine communication practices in healthcare settings. Participants, including both healthcare professionals and patients, were informed about the study's goals and their essential role in providing insights into clinician–patient communication, contributing to a deeper understanding of interaction dynamics in outpatient clinics.

ABSTRACTIntroductionGlobally, there is an increasing demand for quality medical rehabilitation services. This is the first article of a two‐part series showing the findings from the Rehabilitation Choices study in which the main aim was to understand the current landscape of decision‐making, enablers and barriers to access appropriate rehabilitation services in the Australian setting. In Part 1, these insights were sought from a healthcare professionals' perspective.MethodsThis was an exploratory, qualitative study, using semi‐structured interviews with a discussion guide that was codesigned together with rehabilitation clinicians and rehabilitation researchers. Themes and sub‐themes were identified using an inductive approach.ResultsWe interviewed a heterogeneous group of 31 professionals who are involved in making referral decisions about rehabilitation or who design and deliver rehabilitation programs, including specialist rehabilitation physicians and other medical doctors across in‐patient, outpatient, and primary care settings, allied health professionals, rehabilitation service managers, nurses, multicultural health liaison officers and rehabilitation research scientists. Three key themes relevant to barriers and enablers to service access were identified from the data: defining rehabilitation; a lack of timely access to patient and rehabilitation service data; and patient diversity not expected by the system.ConclusionsHealthcare professionals who make decisions about rehabilitation referrals and services feel that it was necessary for them to keep up to date with information relating to rehabilitation services. There was some concern regarding what rehabilitation constituted and what services were available for different clinical indications. They also indicated that current systems did not consider diversity among patients' needs and goals. Their recommendations included the need for better communication pathways, improved referral systems and resources that could help provide best practice of rehabilitative care in the future.Patient or Public ContributionThree study team members had a lived experience of rehabilitation as a patient or carer, and previous experience participating in qualitative research. They worked with the study team to codesign the recruitment strategy, participant‐facing communications, the interview discussion guide, and the approach to the conduct of activities with participants and in the interpretation and contextualization of findings and all were involved in writing this manuscript.
In search of an empirical foundation: Firearms trade and Pacific history
Authors: Hepburn‐Roper Sebastian 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWhile the importance of economic relationships and structures to the functioning of the Empire has received considerable attention for other regions, the Pacific has only begun to be more fully integrated into these discourses. This article explores how histories of maritime trade might take advantage of recent innovations in digitised sources to rectify this exclusion. The firearms trade is the key focus, as this item was almost a universal trade good for much of the nineteenth century Pacific. Given that these weapons were both a complex industrial product and also often attributed to devastating social impacts, they offer unique potential both for indicating the global nature of nineteenth century Pacific trade, and for querying the role of Europeans in impacting indigenous island populations. The use of data provided by careful cross referencing of traditional primary material with large digital archives such as the Australian National Library's TROVE database offers the potential to lift such discussion above supposition and assumption, providing valuable contributions for many regional histories in the Pacific and beyond.

AbstractThe aim of the article is to identify the influence of the first months of Russian aggression against Ukraine on the recruitment plans of enterprises in the country receiving refugees, as exemplified by the Polish case study. Quantitative research was conducted among 500 Polish enterprises. Based on monthly measurements, before and after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, information was received from enterprises on their plans related to recruitment, including Ukrainian workers. Additionally, secondary data available from public databases was analysed. Clustering methods were used to analyse the dynamics and structure of the data gathered from the enterprises. Correspondence analysis was implemented to visualize the relationship between the structure of enterprises and recruitment decisions. The war in Ukraine influenced a deterioration of operating conditions for Polish companies. Regardless of the barriers faced by the companies, in April 2022, all enterprises willing to increase employment were thinking of hiring refugees from Ukraine. Such targeted demand from employers created the conditions for the rapid labour activation of refugees.
Return intentions among Ukrainian refugees in Europe: A Cross‐National Study

Published: June 2024

AbstractThis study examines the return intentions of Ukrainian refugee women who fled to various European countries following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. By analysing data from the cross‐national OneUA survey, which included over 18,000 respondents in eight European countries, this research investigates the interplay of contextual, compositional, and cross‐level interaction effects on their intentions to return to Ukraine. Our findings reveal notable country differences in return intentions, with Ukrainian women in the Netherlands and Germany displaying the lowest intentions to return, while those in Moldova and Romania showing the highest. Individual‐level effects, encompassing factors such as level of education, language skills, partnership status, and region of origin play a significant role in shaping return intentions, yet do not explain the observed country variations. Furthermore, we find that individual‐level effects are remarkably consistent across different European countries, suggesting that country‐ and individual‐level conditions independently shape return intentions. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the complexities underlying refugees' return intentions, shedding light on both the broad influences of country context and the significance of individual characteristics.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAimTo study the use of a quasi‐experimental design to assess the effects of scaling reimbursement policies on the incidence of chronic‐periodontitis procedures.Materials and MethodsInterrupted time series analysis was used to compare the effects before and after policy implementation using data on the number of periodontitis‐related procedures from the Korean National Health Insurance Service‐National Sample Cohort (n = 740,467) and the Health Screening Cohort (n = 337,904). Periodontitis‐related procedures with diagnosis codes were categorized into basic (scaling or root planing), intermediate (subgingival curettage) and advanced (tooth extraction, periodontal flap surgery, bone grafting for alveolar bone defects or guided tissue regeneration). Subjects' demographics and comorbidities were considered. The incidence rate of immediate changes and gradual effects before and after policy implementation was assessed.ResultsFollowing the policy implementation from July 2013, an immediate increase was observed in total and basic procedures. No significant changes were noted in intermediate and advanced procedures initially. A decrease in the slope of intermediate procedures was observed in both databases. Advanced procedures showed varied trends, with no change in the National Sample Cohort but an increase in the Health Screening Cohort, particularly among subjects with comorbidities.ConclusionsFollowing the new policy implementation, the number of intermediate procedures decreased while the number of advanced procedures increased, especially among patients with comorbidities. These findings offer valuable insights on policy evaluation.
