BackgroundSpain healthcare system is decentralized, with seventeen autonomous regions overseeing healthcare. However, penitentiary healthcare is managed nationally, except in Catalonia, the Basque Country, and Navarra. These variations impact mental health care provision for inmates with serious mental illness (SMI).ObjectiveTo delineate differences between regions in terms of mental health care provision for individuals with SMI, available resources, and the perspectives of healthcare professionals operating in the Spanish prison environment.MethodsEmploying an explanatory sequential mixed-method approach, the study conducted an extensive literature review, quantitative data collection through structured questionnaires, and qualitative data collection via focus groups and four in-depth interviews. Analysis involved calculating percentages and ratios for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data interpretation to comprehensively understand mental healthcare provision.ResultsIn December 2021, about 4% of inmates in Spain had SMI. There are three distinct models of mental healthcare within the Spanish prison system. The traditional penitentiary model, representing 83% of the incarcerated population, operates independently under the General Secretariat of Penitentiary Institutions at a national level. This model relies on an average of 5.2 penitentiary General Practitioners (pGP) per 1,000 inmates for psychiatric and general healthcare. External psychiatrists are engaged for part-time psychiatric assessment. Acute psychiatric hospitalization occurs in general nursing modules within penitentiary centers or in Restricted Access Units (RAUs) in reference hospitals. Two penitentiary psychiatric hospitals provide care to unimputable SMI inmates from all over Spain. Innovative penitentiary models, constituting 17% of the prison population, integrate penitentiary healthcare within regional public health systems. The Basque Country features a Mental Health Unit with full-time care teams within the penitentiary center. Catalonia emphasizes community care, providing full-time dedicated psychiatric services within and outside prisons, ensuring continued care in the community. Both models prioritize personnel with specialized mental health training and compensation akin to non-prison healthcare settings.ConclusionsRegional disparities in penitentiary mental healthcare models in Spain result in resource inequalities, impacting specialized care for inmates with SMI and opportunities for healthcare professionals. The models in the Basque Country and Catalonia offer valuable experiences for penitentiary healthcare.

BackgroundThe implementation of a zero-COVID policy for 3 years in China during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted a broad spectrum of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs). The epidemiological characteristics of ARTI pathogens in children following the cessation of the zero-COVID policy remain unclear.MethodsEtiologically diagnostic data from 82,708 children with ARTIs at the Children’s Hospital of Soochow University during 2016–2023 were analyzed for 8 pathogens (human respiratory syncytial virus [HRSV], influenza A [FluA], FluB, human parainfluenza virus [HPIV], adenovirus [ADV], human rhinovirus [HRV], bocavirus [BoV], and mycoplasma pneumoniae [MP]). The changes in respiratory infections in Suzhou, China during the first year (2020, Phase I) and the second and third years of the pandemic (2021–2022, Phase II) and the first year after the end of zero-COVID policy (2023, Phase III) versus that in the pre-pandemic years (2016–2019) were compared.ResultsWhen compared with the average pre-pandemic levels, the pathogen-positive rate decreased by 19.27% in Phase I (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.67–0.74), increased by 32.87% in Phase II (OR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.72–1.84), and increased by 79.16% in Phase III (OR: 4.58; 95% CI: 4.37–4.79). In Phase I, the positive rates of HRSV, FluA, ADV, and MP decreased by 26.72, 58.97, 72.85, and 67.87%, respectively, and the positive rates of FluB, HPIV, HRV, and BoV increased by 86.84, 25, 32.37, and 16.94%, respectively. In Phase III, the positive rates of HRSV, FluA, FluB, HPIV, ADV, and HRV increased by 39.74, 1046.15, 118.42, 116.57, 131.13, and 146.40%, respectively, while the positive rate of BoV decreased by 56.12%. MP was inhibited during the epidemic, and MP showed a delayed outbreak after the ending of the zero-COVID policy. Compared with the average pre-pandemic levels, the MP-positive rate in Phase III increased by 116.7% (OR: 2.86; 95% CI: 2.74–2.99), with the highest increase in 0–1-year-old children.ConclusionThe strict and large-scale implementation of the zero-COVID policy in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic was the main driving factor for the sharp reduction in the rate of children’s respiratory pathogenic infections. The termination of this policy can cause a resurgence or escalation of pathogenic infections.
Transnational adoptees in healthcare: barriers, resources, and needs
Authors: Strand Mattias , Hillerberg Natte 
Published: August 2024

BackgroundAfter decades of research output, it is well established that transnational adoptees—i.e., individuals who are placed for adoption outside their country of birth—exhibit an increased risk of various negative mental health outcomes. Even so, there is a lack of suggestions for preventive measures or treatment interventions targeting the transnational adoptee population in the literature.ObjectiveTo explore experiences, opinions, and needs among adult transnational adoptees in Sweden concerning healthcare in general and mental healthcare in particular.MethodsSixty-six adult transnational adoptees residing in Sweden, born in 15 different non-European countries, were recruited for individual in-depth interviews about their experiences and opinions regarding psychosocial support and healthcare. The interview data were analyzed employing a codebook thematic analysis approach.ResultsThree overarching themes were identified: (a) barriers to adequate treatment, (b) helpful resources in dealing with health-related issues, and (c) health-related needs and suggestions for the development of adequate support. Identified barriers include a lack of insight into and interest in adoptee health, colorblindness and unwillingness to address racism, expectations of gratitude, steep financial costs, lack of support from adoptive parents, and mistrust of support structures that involve adoptive parents or adoption organizations. Participants also describe helpful resources, such as the community of fellow transnational adoptees. Health-related needs and suggestions include more well-defined and easily accessible structures of support, improved knowledge and competence, a broader psychotherapeutic repertoire that better addresses adoption-related themes, improved support in situations that can be particularly stressful for adoptees (such as during pregnancy and as new parents), routine follow-up during childhood and adolescence, and education targeting adoptive parents. The need for greater attention to the well-being of children of transnational adoptees is also highlighted.ImplicationsBased on these findings, a number of recommendations can be made. For example, knowledge about adoptee health should be strengthened, and psychotherapeutic competence in addressing issues related to racism should become a priority. After over 20 years of discussion, one or more national research and knowledge hubs on transnational adoption should be created. Moreover, economic resources should be made available to support transnational adoptees in accessing adequate treatment.
Social disconnection correlates of a “Wish to Die” among a large community-dwelling cohort of older adults
Authors: Ward Mark , Briggs Robert , Kenny Rose Anne 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionSocial disconnection and deaths by suicide among older adults are both important public health concerns, particularly in the context of ageing populations. The association between death ideation and behaviours, and social disconnection is well established and both functional and structural social relationships have been identified as predictive of suicide-related thoughts and behaviours. The “Wish to Die” (WTD) involves thoughts of or wishes for one’s own death or that one would be better off dead is a commonly used indicator to capture death ideation. It has been shown to be as predictive as active ideation of future suicide attempt.MethodsData were from a large cohort of community-dwelling older adults aged 50+, The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). Cross-sectional analyses of the association between numerous markers of social disconnection (loneliness, social isolation, living alone, marital status, social participation, volunteering, and attending religious service) and WTD were conducted.ResultsMultiple markers of social disconnection were associated with a “wish to die”. However, loneliness was the strongest risk factor while attendance of religious services was an important protective behaviour.DiscussionThere is a strong association between social disconnection and a WTD among older adults. There is also a strong association between depression and a WTD, while attending religious services or similarly prosocial settings may protect older adults from experiencing negative thoughts about dying.
SonoBox: development of a robotic ultrasound tomograph for the ultrasound diagnosis of paediatric forearm fractures
Authors: Ernst Floris , Osburg Jonas , Tüshaus Ludger 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionPaediatric forearm fractures are a prevalent reason for medical consultation, often requiring diagnostic X-rays that present a risk due to ionising radiation, especially concerning given the sensitivity of children’s tissues. This paper explores the efficacy of ultrasound imaging, particularly through the development of the SonoBox system, as a safer, non-ionising alternative. With emerging evidence supporting ultrasound as a viable method for fracture assessment, innovations like SonoBox will become increasingly important.Materials and methodsIn our project, we want to advance ultrasound-based, contact-free, and automated cross-sectional imaging for diagnosing paediatric forearm fractures. To this end, we are building a technical platform that navigates a commercially available ultrasound probe around the extremity within a water-filled tank, utilising intelligent robot control and image processing methods to generate a comprehensive ultrasound tomogram. Safety and hygiene considerations, gender and diversity relevance, and the potential reduction of radiation exposure and examination pain are pivotal aspects of this endeavour.ResultsPreliminary experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of rapidly generating ultrasound tomographies in a water bath, overcoming challenges such as water turbulence during probe movement. The SonoBox prototype has shown promising results in transmitting position data for ultrasound imaging, indicating potential for autonomous, accurate, and potentially painless fracture diagnosis. The project outlines further goals, including the construction of prototypes, validation through patient studies, and development of a hygiene concept for clinical application.ConclusionThe SonoBox project represents a significant step forward in paediatric fracture diagnostics, offering a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional X-ray imaging. By automating the imaging process and removing the need for direct contact, SonoBox has the potential to improve clinical efficiency, reduce patient discomfort, and broaden the scope of ultrasound applications. Further research and development will focus on validating its effectiveness in clinical settings and exploring its utility in other medical and veterinary applications.
Overlapping cusp ion dispersions formed by flux ropes on the day-side magnetopause

IntroductionCusp ion dispersion signatures reflect properties of remote magnetic reconnection. Since the cusp is easier to observe in situ compared to the reconnection x-line, ion dispersions provide key insight on whether reconnection is variable in space and time. This study is motivated by a specific dispersion signature having two ion populations separated in energy but not space. These are known as overlapping dispersions because when observed by low-Earth orbiting satellites traversing the cusp, they appear as two dispersed ion populations overlapping in magnetic latitudes. Overlapping dispersion signatures have been observed for all interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientations and have been associated with multiple reconnection processes, but the three-dimensional magnetic reconnection topology and particle trajectories have not been examined.MethodsForward particle tracing using the GAMERA-CHIMP global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) with test particle framework is carried out to construct ion dispersion signatures throughout the cusp. Under idealized solar wind driving with steady purely southward IMF, both standard and overlapping dispersions are found.ResultsAnalysis of the test particle trajectories shows that the higher energy population of the overlapping dispersion travels along the axis of a flux rope before heading into the cusp, whereas the lower energy population goes directly into the cusp. Furthermore, the overlapping dispersions observed by the synthetic satellites compare well to Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F16 observations during strongly southward IMF.DiscussionIt is thus concluded that during strongly southward IMF, cusp-entering particles interacting with a magnetopause flux rope (generated by secondary reconnection) is one way to produce an overlapping dispersion. This study lays the groundwork for the forthcoming NASA Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission, which will connect the cusp to the magnetosphere—discovering how spatial or temporal variations in magnetic reconnection drive cusp dynamics. The expected launch of TRACERS is in 2025.
Investigating the role of women producers in alternative food networks implementing organic farming in Berlin Brandenburg
Authors: Darkhani Faiza 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionThis study sheds light on the challenges faced by women in alternative food networks (AFNs) applying organic farming in Berlin Brandenburg. They engage in AFNs as producers, consumers, and prosumers (producer-consumers). Literature indicates that individuals in farming face obstacles such as limited ownership, traditional gender roles, undervalued contributions, disparities in recognition and compensation, and barriers to leadership. The objective of this research is to understand the realities, self-perceptions, and conditions experienced by individuals in AFNs and organic farming. This study examines contextual factors, participation levels, decision-making processes, leadership dynamics, and impacts related to these participants.MethodUsing qualitative content analysis, interviews were conducted with active female respondents in three types of AFN: community-supported agriculture (CSA), food cooperatives (FCs), and self-harvest gardens (SHG).ResultsThe interviewees expressed optimism about their involvement but emphasized the need for increased governmental support and community engagement. Participants in CSAs and FCs reported stronger producer-consumer connections and community building, while self-harvest gardeners sought personal growth and access to garden spaces.ConclusionInterview data highlighted demands for gender equality improvements and support mechanisms. Addressing these challenges and promoting equal status for them can enhance their contributions to community building and localized food production. Recognizing their efforts fosters societal inclusiveness and progress. Understanding and supporting individuals in organic farming AFNs, we can move towards a future where their contributions are properly acknowledged.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionThe presence of excessive heavy metal content in food poses potential risks to human health.MethodsThis paper presents the fabrication of a novel type of Carbon Dots (CDs) using green tea residue as a carbon source, which can be applied for simultaneous detection of Hg2+, Pb2+, Fe3+, and Cu22+ through particle swarm optimization (PSO) based optimized variable-weighted least-squares support vector machine (VWLS-SVM) model and the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) method.Results and DiscussionThe utilization of PSO-VWLS-SVM model discovered and verified two fluorescence enhancement markers of CDs, namely isoquercitrin and 5-methyl furfural in green tea residues. By employing PLSDA, simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of these four metal ions was achieved. These CDs are capable of detecting four types of metal ions at low concentrations even when there are high concentrations of other metal ions and amino acids. More importantly, the CDs were successfully applied for the detection of Hg2+, Pb2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ in real food samples. The recovery rates of four metal ions spiked into five different matrices were found to be the range of 99.1–101.3%, while both intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations remained below 0.5% for all samples. This study on chemometrics-assisted exploration into formation mechanisms of endogenous CDs provides theoretical guidance for enhancing their fluorescence properties and expanding their application in heavy metal detection in food.
There Is Worse: The Serpent’s Curse Compared to That of Eve. For a New Order
Authors: Ombrosi Orietta 
Published: August 2024

By interpreting both the account of Creation found in Genesis 3 and the related exegetical interpretations of the text, this article aims to focus on the figure of the serpent, which has always been laden with a negative, even ruthless, symbolic meaning traditionally approached as almost entirely irrevocable. Taking ‘original nakedness’ as the key perspective, this brief study seeks to bring out and highlight the moment or condition preceding the curse, in which the serpent is revealed to be at once extremely similar to and radically different from humans, an animal as well but profoundly different from other animals: ill-placed. Sharing its solitude and alienation in this slippery and uncomfortable boundary position, participating in its desire, its temptation to encounter the other and to change places, to blur the boundaries of creation, this article listens to the serpent’s call to another story and follows it/him in an attempt to reimagine and rewrite another genesis, this time from its/his point of view, to displace and mix-up the established order and to find, in the end, a new dignity for itself/himself and for other animals.

В условиях Кабардино-Балкарской Республики накоплен опыт совершенствования коров красной степной породы голштинскими быками и в настоящее время имеется большой массив помесного потомства различной кровности по улучшающей породе, но их основные хозяйственно-полезные признаки остаются еще малоизученными. В статье показано, что у помесных животных, полученных от скрещивания красных степных коров с голштинскими быками красно-пестрой масти, повышается интенсивность роста телок, молочная продуктивность и оплата корма молоком по сравнению с чистопородными сверстницами. За весь период выращивания от рождения до 18-месчного возраста помеси на 5,0% или на 29,4 кг в среднем превосходили чистопородных. Удой молока помесных животных оказался на 465 кг или на 10,9 % выше, чем у чистопородных животных. При скрещивании красных степных коров с голштинскими быками увеличивается количество коров с наиболее желательными формами вымени. Более равномерным развитием вымени отличались помесные первотелки, у которых интенсивность доения составила 1,43 кг/мин, что на 3,6 % выше, чем у чистопородных сверстниц. Первые характеризовались и более высокими показателями индекса вымени. Скрещивание с голштинами не оказывает существенного влияния на плотность и кислотность молока помесных первотелок. Установлено, что помесные животные отличались лучшей оплатой корма молоком. Так, коровы опытной группы на производство 1 кг молока затрачивали 1,10 ЭКЕ, что на 0,15 ЭКЕ меньше чем первотелки контрольной группы.
In the conditions of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, experience has been gained in improving the cows of the red steppe breed by Holstein bulls and at present there is a large mass of cross-breed offspring of different blood levels for the improving breed, but their main economically useful traits are still poorly understood. In the article, that crossbred animals obtained by crossing red steppe cows with Holstein bulls red and white suit increases the intensity of growth of heifers, milk yield and feed milk compared to purebred peers. For the entire period of cultivation from birth to 18-month-old hybrids by 5.0% or 29.4 kg on average superior to purebred. Milk yield of crossbred animals was 465 kg or 10.9 % higher than that of purebred animals. When crossing red steppe cows with Holstein bulls, the number of cows with the most desirable forms of udder increases. Crossing with Holstein has no significant effect on the density and acidity of milk of crossbred heifers. More uniform development of the udder differed crossbred heifers, whose milking intensity was 1.43 kg/min, which is 3.6 % higher than that of purebred peers. The first ones were characterized by higher indices of the udder index. It is established that cross-bred animals differed in the best payment of a forage milk. Thus, cows of the experimental group spent 1.10 EKE on the production of 1 kg of milk, which is 0.15 EKE less than the first-calf heifers of the control group.
