Nurses’ perception of anticipated nursing care: A qualitative research
Authors: Dehghani Khadijeh , Bagheri Imane , Dadgari Atena , Salmani Naiire 
Published: February 2025

Background
Anticipated nursing care is provided significantly earlier than expected by nurses, caregivers, and other healthcare staff for patients. This type of care is influenced by many factors and is followed by various positive and negative consequences. Accordingly, the present study sought to explore nurses’ perceptions of anticipated nursing care.

Methods
This qualitative study was conducted using content analysis on twelve nurses from different internal and surgical wards of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital, Yazd, Iran from November 2022 to September 2023The participants were selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the nurses and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s qualitative content analysis method.

Results
Data analysis revealed four main categories and eleven subcategories. The main categories included early and priority care with two subcategories, scope of anticipated care with four subcategories, predictors of anticipated care with three subcategories, and outcomes of anticipated care with two subcategories.

Conclusions
Based on the findings, it is suggested that nursing managers must focus on the antecedents of anticipated care and address strategies to improve the working conditions of nurses, changing routine procedures for providing care and the doctor-nurse interaction, developing and organizing training programs on clinical reasoning, decision-making and time management for nurses.

Authors: Diakite Mory , de Brouwere Vincent , Assarag Bouchra , Belrhiti Zakaria , Zbiri Saad , Khalis Mohamed 
Published: February 2025

Background
High rates of maternal mortality and morbidity remain significant health issues in low- and middle-income countries. Despite this, few researchers have investigated the underlying factors of severe maternal complications in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review was to determine the socioeconomic, demographic, and obstetric predictors of severe maternal complications in this region.

Method
For this systematic review, we searched PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct between 2000 and 2022. Studies were eligible if they reported a relationship between impending maternal death and one or more socioeconomic, demographic or obstetric determinants. We did not contact the authors of the articles, as we had access to their full texts. The quality of qualitative and quantitative studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills quality assessment tool.

Results
Among the 3001 identified studies, this systematic review selected 25 articles. Factors such as economic status, level of education, maternal age, marital status, rural residence, transfers to other facilities, and delays during childbirth were identified as the main determinants of severe complications occurrence in Africa. Disparities in access to maternal healthcare were observed among women from different socioeconomic groups, often due to power imbalances in decision-making processes.

Conclusion
Several factors, including education, prenatal care follow-up, pre-existing medical conditions, method of admission, and mode of delivery, have been identified as significant indicators of the likelihood of severe maternal morbidity. To reduce these cases, it is crucial to implement targeted socio-economic development programs, including improving access to education, strengthening prenatal health services, providing support to pregnant women with pre-existing medical conditions, and ensuring appropriate admission and delivery methods.

Published: February 2025

Background
Insecure adult attachment has previously been linked to more severe psychopathology and to alterations within neuronal connectivity on a structural as well as functional level. Little is known about the resting state functional connectivity (rs-FC) of the attachment system in patients suffering from poly-drug use disorder (PUD).

Methods
The present study investigated rs-FC at two measuring points (t1: ROI-to-ROI; t2: seed-to-voxel) in a sample of PUD patients (n = 33; Age: M = 30y; SD = 8y; Female = 15%). Adult attachment was measured with the German version of the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR-RD8). Furthermore, insecure attachment was correlated with depressive symptoms (ADS), trait anxiety (STAI) and general psychopathology (BSI-53).

Results
More insecure attachment was associated with increased trait anxiety, depressive and general psychiatric symptom burden in patients. Furthermore, we observed time-stable links between insecure adult attachment and increased rs-FC between the left lateral parietal default mode network (DMN LP) and bilateral parts of the salience network, as well as decreased rs-FC between DMN LP and medial parts of the DMN.

Discussion
Implications of the present study are highlighting the association between attachment security and brain areas related to affect regulation.
Spatiotemporal Study of a Risk-Stratification Epigenetic-Based Biomarker Assay in Barrett’s Esophagus Patients

Published: February 2025

Background:
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the strongest known risk factor for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), the second-most lethal cancer in the United States. Esopredict is a novel validated methylation-based biomarker assay that provides precise quantification of neoplastic progression risk in BE patients. Inherit challenges, including tissue heterogeneity, sampling error, interobserver variability, and inconsistent adherence to surveillance biopsy guidelines may impact Esopredicts’ predictive value results obtained at different anatomic locations or different sampling time points.

Methods:
To investigate the spatiotemporal performance of Esopredict across multiple spatiotemporal sampling points, we profiled 220 biopsies obtained from 58 BE patients, including 11 patients with overlapping spatial and temporal biopsies. We focused on spatial profiling (i.e., multiple biopsies obtained at several anatomic locations during a single endoscopy and temporal profiling (i.e., biopsies obtained from multiple endoscopies performed at different time points). Each patient had an initial histologic diagnosis of nondysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE), indefinite for dysplasia (IND), or low-grade dysplasia (LGD). Final follow-up (endpoint) biopsies showed either HGD or EAC (progressors); or NDBE, IND, or LGD (non-progressors). Biopsies were analyzed with Esopredict to compute a progression risk score, which quantified the likelihood of future progression to HGD or EAC within 5 years.

Results:
In 52 spatially profiled patients, Esopredict demonstrated a sensitivity of 81% (17/21 progressor patients), based on the highest-scoring biopsy from each patient; sensitivity increased to 100% (12/12) when endpoint biopsies occurred within 5 years of the index (initial) biopsy. In 28 temporally profiled patients, sensitivity was 100% (8/8 patients), based on the biopsy performed at the timepoint closest to the endpoint biopsy.

Conclusion:
Esopredict showed high predictive performance in multiple spatiotemporal samples in BE patients. These data further support the use of Esopredict as a robust test to distinguish high-risk BE patients, who may benefit from endoscopic eradication therapy or increased surveillance frequency, from low-risk patients, who may be candidates for less frequent surveillance and non-interventive observation.
Financial Reporting and the Determination of Distributable Profits: A Broken Link. The Case of Italy
Authors: Di Sarli Maria 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The application of IAS/IFRS standards, implying the substantial downgrading of the realisation principle, makes financial reporting inconsistent with the determination of distributable profits. This article summarises the Italian approach to this problem. Generally speaking, the introduction of a harmonised European regulation on this matter seems desirable, since different rules in EU Member States are likely to create disparities regarding the level of creditor protection.
Important Features of Capital Maintenance in Germany
Authors: Hossfeld Christopher 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
German GAAP can be categorized as typical Continental European (Fülbier, R. U., C. Pelger, E. M. Kuntner, and M. Bravidor. 2017. “The Role and Current Status of IFRS in the Completion of National Accounting Rules – Evidence from Austria and Germany.” Accounting in Europe 14 (1–2): 13–28; Nair, R. D., and W. G. Frank. 1980. “The Impact of Disclosure and Measurement Practices on International Accounting Classifications.” The Accounting Review 55 (3): 426–50) with a primary focus on creditor protection by means of a strong prudence (or conservatism) principle and the priority of the profit (dividend) determination function compared to the information function of financial statements. The increasing internationalization of German companies lead to a questioning of German GAAP and, ultimately, the introduction of IFRS. IFRS became not only mandatory for consolidated financial statements of listed companies but influenced German GAAP as such. Indeed, some elements in German GAAP were more aligned over time with some IFRS features to improve information quality of German GAAP financial statements. To adapt capital maintenance to these new elements and maintain a strong creditor protection, specific dividend distribution restrictions were introduced. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general presentation of the important features of capital maintenance in Germany with a particular focus on the accounting-induced specific dividend distribution restrictions.
Shareholders’ Equity and Dividend Regulation in Japan: How Can Financial Reporting and Capital Maintenance Be Reconciled?
Authors: Hoshi Akio , Takahashi Mioko , Garcia Clémence 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The concept of shareholders’ equity is fundamental in both company law and financial reporting standards. In continental European countries and Japan, these legislations have traditionally shared common principles by limiting the source of distribution to shareholders to the accumulated profits a company has earned. As the purposes of financial accounting have progressed towards decision usefulness for investors, however, the link between accounting and statutory distribution restriction has been undermined. Our research addresses the treatment of shareholders’ equity in Japan based on legal primary sources and related literature. Its purpose is to explain the divergence between financial reporting and dividend restrictions in light of their contrasting objectives. Our findings provide two main implications. First, reconciling financial reporting and dividend restriction requires a complex recalculation of distributable profits. The regulation has become too complex to ensure all the companies easily comply with dividend distribution restrictions. Second, the underlying definitions of equity items and their presentation in financial statements have remained consistent between the Companies Act provisions and the accounting standards even after converging with the IFRS. This has been achieved by splitting the concept of shareholders’ equity from net assets in financial accounting.

The first-line antihypertensive nitrendipine potentiated the therapeutic effect of oxaliplatin by downregulating CACNA1D in colorectal cancer
Authors: Lai Chengzhe , Liu Jinghu , Zhou Jingna , Zhou Haokun 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Oxaliplatin (OXA) is among the most common chemotherapy drugs and is the base component of the FOLFOX regimen (OXA + leucovorin + 5-fluorouracil) and CapeOX regimen (OXA + capecitabine). Resistance to and failure of these two OXA-based regimens often results in poor outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Nitrendipine (NTD) is a first-line antihypertensive drug commonly used in hypertension and coronary heart disease with confirmed low toxicity and side effects. However, the potential benefits of NTD for CRC progression and therapy remain unclear.

Methods
Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) detection, colony formation assay, wound-healing assay, Transwell assay, SynergyFinder webtool, and subcutaneous tumor models were used to assess the effect of NTD with OXA on CRC inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics tools including Human Protein Atlas (HPA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting analyses, lentivirus transfection, and rescue experiment were used to investigate the mechanism(s) of the related action.

Results
Utilizing murine and human CRC cell lines, the in vitro and in vivo experiment demonstrated that NTD inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and the synergy scores calculated by SynergyFinder indicated that NTD exhibited synergistic activity with the chemotherapeutic drug OXA. The CCK-8 detection, animal model, and rescue experiment results demonstrated that NTD suppressed CRC progression and potentiated OXA therapeutic effect by downregulating calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 D (CACNA1D).

Conclusions
This study presents novel data on first-line antihypertensive NTD, exerting inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and migration in CRC and revealing synergistic activity with OXA by downregulating CACNA1D. NTD may be a candidate as a promising chemosensitizer as an OXA new combination to improve the efficacy and safety of CRC therapy.
Transverse orbital angular momentum and polarization entangled spatiotemporal structured light
Authors: Huang Hsiao-Chih , Mu Kefu , Leung Hui Min , Liao Chen-Ting 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Intra-system entanglement occurs between non-separable modes within the same system. For optical systems, the various degrees of freedom of light represent different modes, and the potential use of light to create higher dimensional classical entangle states offers a promising potential to drive new technological developments. In this work, we present experimental results demonstrating the orthogonality between transverse orbital angular momentum (t-OAM) of different spatiotemporal topological charges, a previously unverified property of t-OAM. Based on those results, we developed methods to create and characterize a novel family of t-OAM and polarization entangled spatiotemporal structured light. We further provide theoretical analysis to support our study of the entanglement between those modes. By demonstrating the feasibility of leveraging t-OAM as a new family of modes for classical entanglement, our work represents a new advancement towards higher dimensional classical entanglement strategies.
Exploring the link between research funding, co-authorship and publication venues: an empirical study in communication, political science, and sociology
Authors: Demeter Marton , Goyanes Manuel , Kohus Zsolt , de Zúñiga Homero Gil 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
The paper investigates the relationship between research funding and its impact on co-authorship and journal selection in the social sciences, specifically in communication, political science, and sociology. It examines whether funded research projects are associated with more co-authors and higher journal prestige, revealing that funded papers generally involve larger teams, and are published in more prestigious journals, with some exceptions in sociology.

Design/methodology/approach
The study employs a quantitative content analysis research design, examining 1,091 articles across the fields of communication, political science, and sociology. It employs statistical techniques, including a Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square goodness-of-fit test, and chi-square test of independence, to assess the relationship between research funding, the number of co-authors, and journal quartile rankings.

Findings
The main findings reveal that funded papers typically have more co-authors and are more likely to be published in prestigious journals, especially in communication and political science. However, sociology shows no significant link between funding and journal prestige. Across all disciplines, non-funded papers are more common, reflecting the general underfunding of social sciences.

Practical implications
The results suggest that research funding can significantly enhance collaboration and increase the likelihood of publication in prestigious journals, emphasizing the need for more targeted funding in social sciences to boost research quality and visibility. Policymakers and funding agencies should consider these dynamics when allocating resources to ensure that underfunded disciplines, like sociology, receive adequate support to enhance their academic and societal impact. Additionally, researchers may benefit from seeking funding opportunities that facilitate larger, more diverse collaborations.

Social implications
The study’s findings highlight the broader social implications of unequal research funding, which can exacerbate disparities in knowledge production and dissemination. The overrepresentation of funded research in prestigious journals may reinforce existing power structures, limiting the visibility of non-funded but potentially impactful research. Addressing these imbalances could lead to a more diverse and equitable academic landscape, fostering innovation and inclusive knowledge that better reflects a wider range of societal needs and perspectives.

Originality/value
The primary value of this study lies in its empirical evidence, which has the potential to enhance future social science research practices. Additionally, it highlights how targeted financial support can promote more diverse, impactful, and socially responsible research.
Persistence of Private Equity Excess Returns: Europe vs. North America
Authors: Spruck Valentin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Despite the Efficient Market Hypothesis suggesting that historical performance doesn’t predict future results, private equity – particularly venture capital and buyout funds – exhibits an anomaly known as performance persistence. The findings in this paper reveal significant performance persistence across the whole dataset, where the performance of the last two fund generations strongly predicts future outcomes. However, a key contribution of this paper to the existing literature is the finding that performance persistence may not be a universal industry-wide phenomenon, as previously suggested. Instead, the results indicate that performance persistence is primarily driven by North American funds, while European funds exhibit significantly less persistence. Additionally, higher past performance correlates with stronger fundraising growth, and persistence is more pronounced when fundraising rounds occur in shorter time frames, suggesting that similar market conditions influence fund performance.
Running up that hill? – Zur Rolle der Schweizerischen Nationalbank beim geplanten Public Liquidity Backstop im Rechtsvergleich zu EZB und Eurosystem
Authors: Manger-Nestler Cornelia , Schneidenbach Clara 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
Im Frühjahr 2023 erschütterte die drohende Insolvenz der schweizerischen Großbank Credit Suisse den eidgenössischen Finanzplatz und Kapitalmarkt, wobei größere Schockwellen letztlich wohl nur durch die rasche Übernahme durch die UBS abgewendet werden konnten. Der „Preis“ dafür waren unbesicherte Liquiditätshilfe-Darlehen der Schweizerischen Nationalbank (SNB) in Höhe von 200 Mrd. €, teilweise durch eine Ausfallgarantie des Bundes gesichert. Damit kam die Realität den Plänen des Bundesrates zuvor, der eine staatliche Liquiditätssicherung (sog. Public Liquidity Backstop, PLB) im Bankengesetz (BankG) festschreiben wollte. Durch die Ereignisse befeuert wurde zugleich die ohnehin kontroverse Debatte um den Einsatz von Liquiditätshilfen, die die Finanzstabilität zu sichern suchen, dafür aber womöglich eine Gefährdung des Mandats der Zentralbank sowie deren aufgabenbezogener Unabhängigkeit in Kauf nehmen. Der Beitrag nimmt dieses Spannungsfeld zum Anlass und setzt sich rechtsvergleichend mit der Reichweite der Unabhängigkeit von SNB und EZB auseinander. Damit wird das Ziel verfolgt, Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen der aktuellen (und zukünftigen) Rechtslage in der Schweiz im Vergleich zu EZB und Eurosystem herauszuarbeiten, um daraus mögliche Leitplanken für die Einführung eines PLB in der Schweiz zu deduzieren.
Regulatory Challenges in Protecting Tangail Saree as a Geographical Indication in Bangladesh

Published: February 2025

This research explores the regulatory challenges in protecting a significant Geographical Indication (GI) of Bangladesh, which is the Tangail saree. Using the doctrinal method of legal research and evaluating primary sources of legal research such as the IPR laws of Bangladesh and international IPR instruments, the author conducted this comprehensive research article. The author, through the research, believes that GI protection policies, if properly implemented in Bangladesh, can promote indigenous Tangail sharee’s territorial integrity, build consumer trust, and create opportunities for local producers. However, the existence of cross-border conflicts regarding ownership of Tangail sarees between Bangladesh and India is creating geopolitical challenges for Bangladesh. So, it is advised that Bangladesh should adopt sui generis GI registration process for Tangail Sharee and amend the GI Act of Bangladesh to inculcate self-registration of GI products. Moreover, diplomatic efforts and bilateral agreements with India can resolve this dispute regarding GI ownership. However, creating bilateral joint platforms and promoting shared GI rights may be a sustainable and peaceful resolution to that dispute. Capacity building of the weavers and local producers of Tangail sarees through educational campaigns will enable them to work towards sustainability of those GIs. Regional cooperation through organizations such as SAARC and SAARC-TPM (SAARC Trade Promotion Network) can boost the regional trade of GI products like Tangail Saree. To maximize profits from the Tangail saree, equitable bilateral approaches should be adopted between India and Bangladesh.
