AbstractThis study examined parental autonomy support and psychological control and their relations with child biobehavioral functioning. Participants included 238 Chinese parent–child dyads (M
age‐child = 8.38 years, 42.0% girls) in two cohorts (2013 and 2021). Parents in the 2021 cohort displayed higher levels of autonomy support and psychological control during the parent–child interaction than in the 2013 cohort. Parental psychological control was positively associated with emotion regulation and negatively associated with externalizing problems in the 2013 cohort, but not in the 2021 cohort. Parental psychological control was also negatively associated with vagal suppression in the 2021 cohort, but not in the 2013 cohort. The result suggests that sociocultural contexts may shape the display of parental behaviors and their significance for child development.

AbstractObjectiveThere is limited information on population‐specific norms of trabecular‐bone‐score (TBS) and its associated factors. Here, we provide norms of TBS in Asian‐Indians and its relationship with serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and intact‐parathyroid hormone (iPTH).Participants and MeasurementsTBS, bone‐mineral‐density (BMD), and vertebral‐fractures (VFs) were assessed using dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry in 923 healthy Asian‐Indians (aged 20–60 years). Serum 25(OH)D, iPTH, T4/TSH,, glycosylated‐haemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured and associations with TBS assessed using multivariable linear regression. Subjects with BMD Z‐score ≤ −2.0 or ≥2.0 at any sites, VFs, TSH > 10.0 or <0.05 µIU/ml, blood‐glucose >11.1 mmol/L or HbA1c > 8.0% were excluded for generating Asian‐Indian norms.ResultsTBS norms were generated in 744 healthy Asian‐Indians (M:F,389:385). The cut‐offs generated for ‘normal’, ‘partially‐degraded’, and ‘degraded’ TBS were >1.305, 1.204–1.305 and <1.204, respectively. Mean TBS was lower in females than males (p < .001). There was 75% congruency in TBS categories between Asian‐Indian and existing norms. Specificity (97.8 vs. 77.9%, p < .001) and diagnostic‐accuracy (97.8% vs. 78.4%, p < .001) of TBS to detect osteoporosis were higher with Asian‐Indian norms. The sensitivity of ‘partially‐degraded’ TBS to diagnose osteopenia was also higher with Asian‐Indian norms. In multivariable regression, gender, body‐mass‐index (BMI), BMD‐L1‐L4, serum PTH, daily dietary‐calorie intake and calcium intake were associated with TBS. Though 25(OH)D inversely correlated with PTH, 25(OH)D was not associated with TBS.ConclusionThis study provides norms for TBS in Asian‐Indians with gender‐specific differences. Increasing age and higher BMI were associated with lower TBS. Associations of TBS with circulating PTH and/or 25(OH)D need confirmation in further studies.

AbstractIntroductionThe implant disease risk assessment (IDRA) tool was designed to assess an individual's risk of developing peri‐implant diseases by evaluating and integrating multiple risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the IDRA tool to determine the risk of developing peri‐implant disease in patients rehabilitated with dental implants.MethodsA retrospective observational cross‐sectional study was conducted, collecting data from 92 patients with 92 selected dental implants. Data included the history of periodontitis, sites with bleeding on probing (BoP), teeth and/or implants with probing depths (PDs) ≥ 5 mm, alveolar bone loss relative to the patient's age, susceptibility to periodontitis, the frequency of supportive periodontal therapy (SPT), the distance from the restorative margin (RM) of the implant‐supported prosthesis to the marginal bone crest (MBC), and factors related to the prosthesis itself. Additionally, the validated instrument periodontal risk assessment (PRA) was employed for comparison. Statistical analyses utilized Chi‐square, Mann–Whitney, and ROC curve.ResultsOutcomes indicated that 62 implants (67.4%) were classified as high‐risk. Among the IDRA parameters, history of periodontitis was the primary factor contributing to an increased risk (p < 0.001). IDRA revealed high sensitivity (100%) and low specificity (63%) (AUC = 0.685; 95% CI: 0.554–0.816; p = 0.047), and there was a low agreement between the IDRA and PRA tools (Kappa = 0.123; p = 0.014). The peri‐implant disease developed in 16 implants with 5.44 (±2.50) years of follow‐up, however, no significant association was observed between the high‐ and low‐medium risk groups and the occurrence of peri‐implant diseases.ConclusionMost of the evaluated implants presented high IDRA risk. The IDRA tool exhibited high sensitivity and low specificity; no significant association was observed between the risk profile and the development of peri‐implant diseases.

AbstractAimIncorporating health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) measures into health economic analyses can help to provide evidence to inform decisions about how to improve patient outcomes in the most cost‐effective manner. The aim of this narrative review was to assess which HRQoL instruments have been used in economic evaluations of type 2 diabetes management including in Indigenous communities.MethodMEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid) and Cochrane were searched from inception to June 2022. Studies included patients with type 2 diabetes; economic evaluations, derived scores from direct questioning of individuals; and were in English. Records were assessed for bias using the JBI critical appraisal tools.ResultsA total of 3737 records were identified, with 22 publications meeting the criteria for inclusion. Across those 22 articles, nine HRQoL instruments had been utilised. Generic tools were most frequently used to measure HRQoL, including EQ‐5D (−3 L and −5 L) (n = 10, 38%); SF‐12 (n = 5, 19%); and SF‐36 (n = 4, 15%). Two tools addressing the specific stressors faced by people with type 2 diabetes were utilised: Problem Areas In Diabetes tool (n = 1, 4%) and Diabetes Distress Scale (n = 1, 4%). Two publications reported whether the study population included Indigenous peoples.ConclusionA wide range of HRQoL instruments are used in economic evaluations of type 2 diabetes management, with the most frequent being varying forms of the EQ‐5D. Few economic evaluations noted whether Indigenous peoples were featured in the study population. More research into HRQoL in people living with type 2 diabetes is urgently needed to improve evidence on effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of interventions.

AbstractAimTo investigate the effect of G protein‐coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) deletion on glucose homeostasis and islet function following diet‐induced obesity.MethodsGPR55−/− and wild‐type (WT) mice were fed ad libitum either standard chow (SC) or a high‐fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed at 9/10 and 19/20 weeks of dietary intervention. Insulin secretion in vivo and dynamic insulin secretion following perifusion of isolated islets were also determined, as were islet caspase‐3/7 activities and β‐cell 5‐bromo‐20‐deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation.ResultsGPR55−/− mice fed a HFD were more susceptible to diet‐induced obesity and were more glucose intolerant and insulin resistant than WT mice maintained on a HFD. Islets isolated from HFD‐fed GPR55−/− mice showed impaired glucose‐ and pcacahorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate‐stimulated insulin secretion, and they also displayed increased cytokine‐induced apoptosis. While there was a 5.6 ± 1.6‐fold increase in β‐cell BrdU incorporation in the pancreases of WT mice fed a HFD, this compensatory increase in β‐cell proliferation in response to the HFD was attenuated in GPR55−/− mice.ConclusionsUnder conditions of diet‐induced obesity, GPR55−/− mice show impaired glucose handling, which is associated with reduced insulin secretory capacity, increased islet cell apoptosis and insufficient compensatory increases in β‐cell proliferation. These observations support that GPR55 plays an important role in positively regulating islet function.
Reshaping gender norms: Exploring the ripple effect of refugeeism on women's empowerment

AbstractMotivationDisplacement significantly disrupts physical environments, social structures, and personal identities, profoundly impacting people's well‐being. Recent studies indicate that displacement can also reshape gender dynamics, highlighting the potential of displacement to transform traditional roles and relationships.PurposeThis study investigates the transformative impact of displacement on gender roles in the context of the Za'atari camp in Jordan. Specifically, it examines how humanitarian aid and forced displacement converge to alter gender relations and enhance women's autonomy.Approach and MethodsThe research draws on qualitative interviews with 15 women residing in the Za'atari camp. By exploring their experiences, the study aims to understand how displacement can act as a catalyst for empowerment and self‐sufficiency, despite the inherent challenges faced by these women.FindingsThe study reveals that displacement increases independence and self‐awareness, and improves decision‐making among women, facilitating their active participation in society. Humanitarian interventions, particularly educational and vocational programmes, play a crucial role in empowering women by improving self‐confidence, communication skills, and legal awareness. These initiatives also provide access to the labour market, challenging traditional gender norms.Policy ImplicationsDespite the positive impacts, significant obstacles persist. Women often assume greater responsibilities as primary breadwinners, which can erode their control within personal spheres and increase vulnerabilities. Traditional norms continue to hinder complete gender parity. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive and sustainable humanitarian interventions to support and sustain positive changes in gender dynamics in displacement settings.
The Unity of the Moral Domain
Authors: Fix Jeremy David 
Published: August 2024

AbstractWhat is the function of morality—what is it all about? What is the basis of morality—what explains our moral agency and patiency? This essay defends a unique Kantian answer to these questions. Morality is about securing our independence from each other by giving each other equal discretion over whether and how we interact. The basis of our moral agency and patiency is practical reason. The first half addresses objections that this account cannot explain the moral patiency of beings who are not also moral agents such as infantile, elderly, and infirm human beings and the other animals. The second half argues that this account is preferable, on grounds of consistency with the basic Kantian account of the function and content of morality, to the familiar account of our moral patiency, popular especially though not exclusively with contemporary Kantians, in terms of the value of humanity.

AbstractBird song contains crucial information that enables recognition of conspecific individuals from a distance, which facilitates subsequent complex behaviors related to mate attraction and rival deterrence. Loud broadcast signals of non‐learning bird species are usually treated as less complex than songs of Oscines, but several studies have revealed that song learning is not necessary for the evolution of complex signaling. Here, we focused on a species of African wood‐dove which produces superficially simple songs consisting of short notes organized into two parts of different amplitude. Our model was a population of emerald‐spotted wood‐doves (Turtur chalcospilos) that live in the same area as the physically and vocally similar blue‐spotted wood‐dove (Turtur afer). We tested the responses of male emerald‐spotted wood‐doves to different playbacks simulating territorial intrusion. We used songs of the focal species and of the congener, two types of artificially mixed songs with different parts belonging to the focal or congeneric species, and a control song. We aimed to assess (i) whether the focal species responds only to its own species' song or exhibits interspecific territoriality, and (ii) which part of the song is responsible for coding species identity. We found that male emerald‐spotted wood‐doves responded strongly to playback, but almost exclusively approached only the playback of their own species' song. Additionally, only conspecific song caused a decrease in song rate during playback and an increase in song output after playback. Our results suggest that emerald‐spotted wood‐doves are able to discriminate their own songs from those of congeners and do not exhibit interspecies territoriality. We were unable to identify a single part of the song that codes species‐specificity, as mixed songs of any kind did not substantially increase responsiveness to playback in comparison to the congener song or the control. We discuss these results in the context of current hypotheses regarding interspecific territoriality and the evolution of species‐identity coding.
The relationship between receptive and productive knowledge of L2 English collocations
Authors: Lee Senyung 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis study investigated the gap between receptive and productive knowledge of second language (L2) collocations across different L2 proficiency levels and whether the two types of knowledge constitute distinct constructs or not. Four groups of adult learners of English (n = 205) and two groups of native speakers of English (n = 85) completed four written tasks: a sentence writing task, fill‐in‐the‐blank task, multiple‐choice task, and Yes/No acceptability judgment task. Each task addressed 64 academic English collocations, including verb–noun, adverb–adjective, adjective–noun, and adverb–verb collocations. Results showed that the gap between receptive and productive knowledge gradually decreased as learners’ L2 proficiency increased. Implicational scaling analysis showed an acquisition order of four different types of collocation knowledge and suggested that recall mastery of collocations should not be considered equivalent to productive mastery of collocations. Results from confirmatory factor analysis showed that receptive and productive knowledge of L2 collocations are two distinct constructs.
The ‘Paternal body’: Reviewing the corporeal impact of new fatherhood on employed men
Authors: Gatrell Caroline 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis review proposes a new concept, the ‘Paternal body’, to illuminate the corporeal impact, on employed men, of new fatherhood. It explores literatures on fatherhood, employment and health to reveal how fathers experience pregnancy, birth and infant‐care (infancy defined, here, as up to age two). In contrast to well‐established notions regarding Maternal (pregnant and post‐birth) bodies, there exists within management studies no similar concept to facilitate understanding of recent fatherhood, the body and employment. The proposed concept ‘Paternal body’ addresses this lack, offering a strategic platform for theorizing how fatherhood impacts men's lived, bodily experience of balancing paternity with paid work. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology and health literatures, the paper reviews research on paternal corporeality in the context of employment in neo‐liberal (market‐oriented) economies (typified by the USA and UK). It identifies related and important health symptoms (such as sleep deprivation) that pose risks to paternal health and employment. Yet the review shows how expectant/recent fathers are pressured, at work, to live up to a mythical image of hegemonic masculinity that requires them to display strong work‐orientation, denying ill‐health and working long hours away from home. The paper coins the term: ‘Absent warrior’ to represent this illusion of a ‘manly’ father (warrior) who is absent from infant‐care and from his home, but bodily present at work: a father who is supposed to deny the materiality of inhabiting a Paternal body. Recommendations are made for further exploration of fathers’ embodied health needs through the concept of the lived ‘Paternal body’.
The Rpfor gene modulates the locomotory activity and host‐seeking behaviour of Rhodnius prolixus
Authors: Marliére Newmar P. , Lorenzo Marcelo G. , Guarneri Alessandra A. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe molecular bases of animal behaviour are intricate due to the pleiotropic nature of behaviour‐modulating genes, which are often expressed across multiple tissues. The foraging gene (for) encodes a cGMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKG), pivotal in regulating downstream target proteins through phosphorylation. In insects, for has been implicated in various behavioural contexts and physiological processes regarding searching for food. Rhodnius prolixus, a hematophagous bug that transmits Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, exhibits specific activity patterns associated with its hematophagous behaviour. Our previous work demonstrated a correlation between locomotor activity profiles and the expression of Rpfor, suggesting its involvement in modulating triatomine locomotion. In this study, we investigated the impact of Rpfor knockdown on locomotory activity, host‐seeking behaviour, feeding performance and lipid metabolism in R. prolixus nymphs. Using RNA interference, we achieved a significant reduction of Rpfor expression in both the brain and fat body of R. prolixus nymphs. Knocked‐down nymphs exhibited diminished non‐oriented locomotory activity compared with controls, without altering the characteristic bimodal pattern of activity. Additionally, they displayed an increased tendency to approach a host, suggesting a role for Rpfor in modulating host‐seeking behaviour. Feeding performance and lipid metabolism remained unaffected by Rpfor knockdown. Our findings underscore the multifaceted role of Rpfor in modulating locomotor activity and host‐seeking behaviour in R. prolixus nymphs, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying their hematophagous behaviour and potential implications for disease transmission. Further research is necessary to elucidate the intricate interplay between Rpfor expression, behaviour and physiological processes in triatomine bugs.
How deviant policies produce precarious immigrant workers: The case of Brazilians in Ireland
Authors: Machado Igor José de Renó 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe objective of this paper is to explore the precariousness of immigrant labour through the concept of ‘deviant policies’. These policies are not explicitly intended to regulate the employment of foreigners, but they lead to the creation of uncertain zones of exploitation and vulnerability for immigrants. To achieve this aim, we conducted an ethnographic investigation of Brazilian immigrants with Irish study visas. The findings of our study indicate that the Irish study visa functions as a deviant policy that gives rise to precarious workers and a network of exploitation that encompasses everything from English language schools to unscrupulous employers.
Midwifery Students’ Experiences of Bias in the Clinical Setting: Prevalence, Types, and Impact

Published: August 2024

IntroductionExposure to bias in clinical learning environments may undermine students’ confidence, cause emotional harm, impede learning, and potentially delay graduation. However, little is known about the prevalence of bias experienced by midwifery students in the United States. This cross‐sectional, descriptive study aimed to quantify clinical midwifery students’ experiences of bias based on 7 self‐identified characteristics (gender identity, race or ethnicity, body size, age, sexual orientation, religion, and occupational background). Additionally, this research explored the impact of bias on student well‐being, learning, and professional commitment.MethodsThe survey consisted of 39 items addressing (1) prevalence and types of bias, (2) emotional impact and influence on clinical learning, (3) ways students coped, (4) whether anyone spoke up at the time bias occurred, (5) whether students reported bias to faculty, and (6) impact of bias on commitment to midwifery. The survey was distributed to midwifery students and recent graduates in 2022 via American College of Nurse‐Midwives email discussion lists and social media. Participants were eligible if they were in a clinical rotation in an Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education‐accredited midwifery program between 2019 and 2022.ResultsSurveys were returned by 383 participants, with 301 meeting inclusion criteria. Most participants (66.5%) reported personally experiencing or witnessing bias against at least 1 of 7 personal characteristics. The most commonly reported biases were related to gender, occupational background, age, and race or ethnicity. Only half of the participants reported these occurrences to someone with academic authority, and nearly a third considered withdrawing from their educational programs.DiscussionIn this study bias was common and significantly impacted students. These results underscore the need for creative and bold interventions at personal, educational, and institutional levels to prevent and mitigate bias. Safeguarding clinical learning environments will enable students to thrive, graduate with confidence and competence, and thereby contribute to the diversification and strengthening of the midwifery profession.
