Holders of battered memories: Exploring suitcases as museum metaphors for travel, exile, and incarceration
Authors: Carnegie Elizabeth , Kociatkiewicz Jerzy 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn this article we consider suitcases: ubiquitous objects in museum exhibitions used to signify incarceration as well as involuntary or forced migration. Building on fieldwork from museums and public spaces, we consider how suitcases themselves are consigned to the “attic of memory:” As museum displays or as piles of discarded remnants, offered as vestiges, as witnesses to human loss and suffering at death camps such as Auschwitz. We consider suitcases firstly as aspects of the extended self, as described in Russell Belk's work, and subsequently as symbolic object figuring imprisonment and mobility in museum exhibitions. We present three different such instances: a suitcase full of personal belongings presented to a museum, a set of concrete facsimile suitcases symbolizing forced migration, and a display of suitcases representing individual stories of confinement and migration. Although some of the life stories in the latter exhibition are presented with happy endings, by and large the museum displays featuring suitcases tell of forced movement and forced immobility. This tension animates our analysis, as we explore the double signification of suitcases as markers of mobility, but also of immobility and imprisonment, as well as the intrusive gaze of the state or other voyeur (including the museum visitor). A suitcase is, thus, not just an extension of the self but represents the lost body, for which the museum becomes the final, very public resting place. It becomes and remains an important memory device, even as its very ubiquity threatens to banalize its meaning into a one‐dimensional shortcut.

AbstractAimsTo develop a clinical risk model to identify individuals at higher risk of developing new‐onset diabetes and who might benefit more from weight loss pharmacotherapy.Materials and MethodsA total of 21 143 patients without type 2 diabetes at baseline from two TIMI clinical trials of stable cardiovascular patients were divided into a derivation (~2/3) and validation (~1/3) cohort. The primary outcome was new‐onset diabetes. Twenty‐seven candidate risk variables were considered, and variable selection was performed using multivariable Cox regression. The final model was evaluated for discrimination and calibration, and for its ability to identify patients who experienced a larger benefit from the weight loss medication lorcaserin in terms of risk of new‐onset diabetes.ResultsDuring a median (interquartile range) follow‐up of 2.3 (1.8–2.7) years, new‐onset diabetes occurred in 1013 patients (7.7%). The final model included five independent predictors (glycated haemoglobin, fasting glucose, age, body mass index, and triglycerides/high‐density lipoprotein). The clinical risk model showed good discrimination (Harrell's C‐indices 0.802, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.788–0.817 and 0.807, 95% CI 0.788–0.826) in the derivation and validation cohorts. The calibration plot demonstrated adequate calibration (2.5‐year area under the curve was 81.2 [79.1–83.5]). While hazard ratios for new‐onset diabetes with a weight‐loss therapy were comparable across risk groups (annual risks of <1%, 1%–5%, and >5%), there was a sixfold gradient in absolute risk reduction from lowest to highest risk group (p = 0.027).ConclusionsThe developed clinical risk model effectively predicts new‐onset diabetes, with potential implications for personalized patient care and therapeutic decision making.

AbstractAimTo evaluate associations between social disadvantage and insulin pump use among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the context of a universal publicly funded insulin pump programme in Ontario, Canada, and to ascertain whether social disparities in insulin pump programme enrolment have decreased over time.MethodsPopulation‐based cross‐sectional studies were conducted using administrative healthcare data in Ontario, Canada. First, among adults aged older than 18 years diagnosed with T1D before 31 March 2021, logistic regression was used to assess the association between neighbourhood social disadvantage (Ontario marginalization index quintiles) and insulin pump use. Second, among all paediatric and adult applicants to the insulin pump programme from 1 September 2006 to 31 March 2022, ordinal logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between year of insulin pump initiation and social disadvantage.ResultsAmong 27 453 adults with T1D, 60% used insulin pumps. Greater social disadvantage was associated with lower odds of insulin pump use (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.44 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.39‐0.48] for greatest vs. lowest social disadvantage quintile). Among 21 002 paediatric and adult applicants to the insulin pump programme, social disparities in pump use decreased in the first 3 years of the programme, plateaued until 2020, then increased from 2020 to 2022, with no change in the odds of being in a higher social deprivation quintile for 2022 relative to 2007 (OR 1.09 [95% CI 0.83‐1.44]).ConclusionsDespite a universal pump programme for individuals with T1D, disparities by social disadvantage persist. Residual financial and non‐financial barriers must be addressed to promote equitable insulin pump uptake.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjectiveVia a research–practice partnership centering community partners' needs and goals in the research design, we examined how parent, infant, and social‐contextual characteristics relate to shared book reading frequency and perceptions of Reach Out and Read (ROR), a national physician‐to‐family program.BackgroundShared book reading is associated with higher quality parent–child interactions and enhanced cognitive and socioemotional development. However, only a small percentage of families share books with their infants daily. Understanding factors related to engagement in book sharing is necessary to create developmental messaging that reflects families' experiences.MethodParents (N = 70) in a southeastern U.S. state were recruited from two participating pediatric clinics and responded to an online survey. Regression analyses examined significant infant, parent, and social‐contextual predictors of shared book reading frequency and perceived ROR value.ResultsFindings indicated that parents' insurance, mental health symptoms, and perceptions of the parent‐provider relationship significantly predicted shared book reading frequency. Perceived ROR value was best predicted by parents' mental health symptoms.ImplicationsStrengthening the parent–provider relationship and talking with families about their needs and experiences with their infants may support clinicians in partnering with families around literacy promotion and early relational health.ConclusionResults suggest the value of considering socioeconomic status, parental mental health symptoms, and the parent–provider relationship when promoting early literacy and relationship‐building experiences during infancy.

Abstract

Non‐native species can spread rapidly through aquatic ecosystems in association with both natural and anthropogenic mechanisms, but the relative importance of these two mechanisms in determining the spread of a species is not always clear. The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) has been introduced to multiple continents, including waterbodies in the United States where both natural and anthropogenic dispersal are likely to have contributed to its current distribution.

The present study combined comparisons of historical and contemporary distributions of P. clarkii and several high conservation priority crayfish species, regional field sampling, and microsatellite‐based genetic approaches from the Pee Dee River basin in North Carolina and South Carolina to understand the dispersal patterns of P. clarkii and its potential effects on native crayfishes.

Field sampling and microsatellite analyses revealed widespread populations of P. clarkii throughout the study area with catchment‐specific patterns of population genetic structure, wherein more distinct genetic structures were found in the basin with historic aquaculture activities and a longer period of occurrence.

The rapid spread of P. clarkii has occurred concurrently with extirpations of populations of native crayfishes, namely the Waccamaw crayfish (Procambarus braswelli), the Carolina Sandhills crayfish (Procambarus pearsei) and the coastal plain crayfish (Procambarus ancylus).

The rapid spread of P. clarkii and coincident extirpation of native crayfishes calls for more extensive regulatory controls to help prevent the intentional or accidental release of non‐native crayfishes through aquaculture practices, bait releases, the pet trade and the environmental education industry.

AimIn Taiwan, over 90% of dementia patients received home care. Severe dementia‐linked food refusal significantly affects nutrition, thereby straining caregivers. Family caregivers can reduce their burden by learning feeding and dementia nutrition online, thus preserving patient oral feeding. The study aim for family caregivers learn online Hand‐Under‐Hand (UH) techniques to ease feeding in severe dementia, enhancing nutrition and reducing their burden.MethodsIn this quasi‐experimental study, participants in the experimental group received 2‐h UH courses online, while the control group received their usual care. The primary outcome indicators were abnormal eating behavior, nutritional status, and caregiver burden, with outcomes tracked at 0, 1, and 3 months. At the neurology outpatient clinic of a medical center in Taipei, 65 dyads—comprising patients with severe dementia and their caregivers—were randomly assigned to groups.ResultsThe study participants comprised 36 female and 29 male caregivers, with an average age of 58.09 years. The patient group included 43 females and 22 males, with a mean age of 83.32 years. Patients in the experimental group exhibited reduced abnormal eating behavior, and caregiver burden was reduced at 1 and 3 months, patients demonstrated improved nutritional status by month 3.ConclusionsThe accessibility and convenience of online courses enabled family caregivers to use UH feeding techniques to effectively improve the nutritional status and correct the abnormal eating behavior of patients with dementia, while also decreasing caregiver burden.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study is to develop and optimize a method for evaluating the persistence of residual fragrance after body washing, addressing a significant requirement in the development of personal care products. The main objective is to establish a reliable, sensitive and reproducible analytical technique to assess fragrance longevity on skin post‐use of body wash products.MethodsHeadspace solid‐phase microextraction (HS‐SPME) coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is used to analyse residual fragrances. We investigate the extraction efficiencies of various SPME fibres and compare different methods for sampling skin‐emitted fragrances, including tape stripping and sealed glass funnels. A controlled body‐washing procedure is implemented to standardize the cleansing process.ResultsOur findings indicate that the relative standard deviation for measuring five distinct fragrances is within the range of 3%–14%, highlighting the precision of the method. A notable variance exists in the extraction efficiency of fragrances using different types of SPME fibres, with some exhibiting over a threefold difference. Furthermore, the glass funnel method for fragrance collection demonstrates an 11.7 times greater sensitivity to galaxolide than that of the tape‐stripping method. Residual fragrances with base notes as the main components can be detected on the skin up to 24 h after body washing.ConclusionThe optimized method for residual fragrance evaluation developed in this study offers a robust tool for analysing fragrance components persisting on the skin for up to 24 h post‐wash. This advancement facilitates a deeper understanding of fragrance longevity in personal care products, enabling comparative analyses between different products.

Published: July 2024

SummaryThe present study investigated the volatile and sensory profiles and antioxidant activity of 1,8‐cineole type Niaouli essential oil from Madagascar for which limited information is reported in literature. The volatile compounds were identified by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and semi‐quantitative results were obtained by Gas chromatography with a flame‐ionisation detector; the odour descriptors were determined by a trained panel using a Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. The antioxidant activity was determined, too. Several volatiles, most of these here firstly, have been identified; 1,8‐cineole (eucalyptus‐like) prevailed, followed by viridiflorol and (E)‐nerolidol. ‘Eucalyptus‐like, fresh‐mint, woody, sweet‐floral and spicy’ odour descriptors have been defined. Volatiles resulted in agreement with the odour descriptors. The data allowed to characterise the Niaouli essential oil; considering its volatile composition, pleasant sensory notes and antioxidant activity the 1,8‐cineole type Niaouli essential oil from Madagascar could be considered a promising flavouring agent and natural preservative in the food industry.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundCode Blue activations in patients who are not for resuscitation (NFR) may be regarded as non‐beneficial and may cause harm to patients, relatives and hospital staff.AimsTo estimate the prevalence of non‐beneficial Code Blue calls in a metropolitan teaching hospital and identify modifiable factors that could be utilised to reduce these events.MethodsThe study consisted of two parts: (i) a retrospective analysis of all Code Blue activations over a 12‐month period using prospectively collected data. Non‐beneficial activations were defined as calls made in patients with a NFR order in either the current or any previous hospital admissions and (ii) an anonymous voluntary survey of staff who were present at a Code Blue activation.ResultsThere were 186 Code Blue activations over the study period, with 48 (25.8%) defined as non‐beneficial. Such patients had more comorbidities, previous hospitalisations and greater levels of frailty. Most non‐beneficial calls occurred on general wards and more than three‐quarters of patients had been reviewed by a consultant prior to the call. The survey determined that despite ward staff having a considerable degree of resuscitation experience, there were deficiencies in understanding of Code Blue criteria, the resuscitation status of patients under their care and the interpretation of goals of care.ConclusionsOver a quarter of Code Blue calls were deemed non‐beneficial. Improving the visibility of NFR status and staff understanding of patient goals of care are needed, along with timely, proactive documentation of NFR status by experienced clinicians.
Contribution of T cell subsets to different food allergic diseases

Published: July 2024

SummaryFood allergies occur due to a lack of tolerance to the proteins found in foods. While IgE‐ and non‐IgE‐mediated food allergies have different clinical manifestations, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management, they share dysregulated T cell responses. Recent studies have shed light on the contributions of different T cell subsets to the development and persistence of different food allergic diseases. This review discusses the role of T cells in both IgE‐ and non‐IgE‐mediated food allergies and considers the potential future investigations in this context.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundCommon etiological factors have been reported in the development of molar–incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and dental anomalies (DA).AimTo assess the association between MIH and DAs.DesignA cross‐sectional study was performed to evaluate the presence of MIH and other six DAs in a sample of 415 pretreatment records from patients aged 9–18 years. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi‐squared and Fisher's exact tests, and logistic regressions.ResultsThere was statistically significant association between the prevalence of DAs and MIH (CI: 1.43–2.43, φ‐coefficient: 0.204, PR: 1.87). Higher percentage of tooth agenesis (CI: 1.37–1.68, φ‐coefficient: 0.271, PR: 1.50), maxillary premolar agenesis (CI: 1.70–3.65, φ‐coefficient: 0.125, PR: 2.49), mandibular second premolar agenesis (CI: 1.68–3.16, φ‐coefficient: 0.172, PR: 2.30) and distoangulation of the mandibular second premolars (CI: 1.31–3.47, φ‐coefficient: 0.103, PR: 2.13) was observed among children who had MIH‐affected teeth. Individuals with MIH had a 2.95 times greater chance of having DAs (R2 = .153). The number of patients with DAs was higher when the first molar showed severe defects (OR = 4.47; R2 = .149).ConclusionThere is a weak association between MIH and DAs. Patients with severe MIH lesions have a slightly higher risk of presenting DAs.
Adaptive feasible and infeasible evolutionary search for the knapsack problem with forfeits

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe knapsack problem (KP) with forfeits is a generalized KP that aims to select some items, among a set of candidate items, to maximize a profit function without exceeding the knapsack capacity. Moreover, a forfeit cost is incurred and deducted from the profit function when both incompatible items are placed in the knapsack. This problem is a relevant model for a number of applications and is however computationally challenging. We present a hybrid heuristic method for tackling this problem that combines the evolutionary search with adaptive feasible and infeasible search to find high‐quality solutions. A streamlining technique is designed to accelerate the evaluation of candidate solutions, which increases significantly the computational efficiency of the algorithm. We assess the algorithm on 120 test instances and demonstrate its dominance over the best performing approaches in the literature. Particularly, we show 94 improved lower bounds. We investigate the essential algorithmic components to understand their roles.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) represents the fifth cause of death in the male population worldwide. The prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) test demonstrated poor accuracy to assess the presence of PCa. Thus, the PSA testing paradigm should be moved from the systematic screening approach to the early identification of men who are harbouring clinically significant disease. Accurate clinical‐based tools to predict PCa should therefore be developed for general practice. We derived and validated a PCa predictive score using a primary care data source.MethodsUsing the Italian Health Search Database, we formed a cohort of men aged 45–90 years in the period between 2002 and 2015. These patients were followed up until 31 December 2022. Those with less than a 5‐year follow‐up were excluded. The cohort was randomly divided into ‘derivation’ and ‘validation’ samples in a 1:1 ratio. Along with the demographic and clinical determinants forming the score, we investigated the role of PSA kinetics in the prediction accuracy.ResultsIn a cohort of 529,082 men aged 45+ years, we identified 14,524 cases of PCa (incidence rate = 2.71 per 1000 person‐years; 95% confidence interval = 2.67–2.80). The prediction accuracy of the PCa‐HScore featured an explained variation of 12% and a discrimination power of 70%. The calibration slope was almost equal to 1 (p = 0.951, tested for equivalence against the ‘perfect’ slope) and the PSA kinetics did not improve the prediction accuracy.ConclusionsThe PCa‐HScore might guide the prescription of PSA and/or other clinical strategies in those men reporting certain levels of risk. A related decision support system could therefore be implemented in primary care.
