Published: June 2024

Background/Aims Nurses will likely encounter a wide variety of situations that can be considered polarities. This study aimed to examine the impact of a polarity management training programme on nurse managers' skills and knowledge of polarity management, and their creative behaviours and intrinsic motivation. Methods A quasi-experimental study using an interrupted time series design with one-group pre and post test was performed. A total of 60 nurse managers participated. Polarity tools (knowledge and skills) and self-report questionnaires of creative behaviour and motivation were applied in collecting data throughout the training programme. Results Respondents' knowledge and skills of polarity management were better following the training programme, with higher levels of creativity and motivation throughout the post and follow-up programme. This was evidenced by correlation and linear regression tests between nurse managers' knowledge and skills and their creativity and motivation. Conclusions This programme can benefit not only nurse managers, but also nursing staff, patients and organisations. This may ultimately improve outcomes for patients, staff and organisations.
Corporate Influencing im Business-To-Business-Vertrieb
Authors: Nestler Lisa , Hoffmann Clara 
Published: June 2024

ZusammenfassungBusiness-To-Business (B2B)-Vertrieb wird zunehmend digitalisiert und diese Digitalisierung hat einen starken Einfluss auf die Art und Weise, wie Kund:innen und Verkäufer:innen in Geschäftsbeziehungen interagieren, kommunizieren und Werte schaffen. Im Zuge der Digitalisierung hat die Nutzung des beruflichen sozialen Netzwerks LinkedIn im B2B-Vertrieb zugenommen und ein neues Phänomen, sogenannte Corporate-Influencer:innen, ist vermehrt bei LinkedIn zu beobachten. Die Literatur hat sich bislang hauptsächlich auf das Verhalten von Vertriebsmitarbeitenden in sozialen Medien, Leistungsergebnisse und Auswirkungen auf Kundenbeziehungen konzentriert. Es ist jedoch wenig bekannt über die Ziele, die mit Corporate Influencing verfolgt werden, ihre tatsächlichen Aktivitäten auf LinkedIn in dieser Rolle sowie Chancen und Herausforderungen, die sich durch Corporate Influencing ergeben. Ein Grounded-Theory-Ansatz wird verfolgt, um dieses Phänomen zu untersuchen. Basierend auf 31 Interviews mit Expert:innen aus verschiedenen B2B-Branchen, werden persönliche und unternehmensbezogene Ziele, spezifische Corporate-Influencer-Aktivitäten, sowie damit einhergehende Chancen und Herausforderungen von Corporate Influencing identifiziert.
Does cardiorespiratory fitness mediate or moderate the association between mid-life physical activity frequency and cognitive function? findings from the 1958 British birth cohort study
Authors: Norris Tom , Mitchell John J. , Blodgett Joanna M. , Hamer Mark , Pinto Pereira Snehal M. 
Published: June 2024

Background
Physical activity (PA) is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline and all-cause dementia in later life. Pathways underpinning this association are unclear but may involve either mediation and/or moderation by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

Methods
Data on PA frequency (exposure) at 42y, non-exercise testing CRF (NETCRF, mediator/moderator) at 45y and overall cognitive function (outcome) at 50y were obtained from 9,385 participants (50.8% female) in the 1958 British birth cohort study. We used a four-way decomposition approach to examine the relative contributions of mediation and moderation by NETCRF on the association between PA frequency at 42y and overall cognitive function at 50y.

Results
In males, the estimated overall effect of 42y PA ≥once per week (vs. <once per week) was a 0.08 (95% confidence interval: 0.04,0.13) higher overall cognitive function z-score at 50y. The estimated controlled direct effect was similar (0.08 (0.03, 0.12)). Thus, the proportion of the estimated effect via mediation or moderation by NETCRF was small (~3%), with confidence intervals straddling the null. In females, there was no estimated overall effect of PA frequency on overall cognitive function.

Conclusion
We present the first evidence from a four-way decomposition analysis of the potential contribution that CRF plays in the relationship between mid-life PA frequency and subsequent cognitive function. Our lack of evidence in support of CRF mediating or moderating the PA frequency―cognitive function association suggests that other pathways underpin this association.
Diagnosis of urinary tract infections in the hospitalized older adult population in Alberta
Authors: Lui Samantha , Carr Frances , Gibson William 
Published: June 2024

Background
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections reported in older adults, across all settings. Although a diagnosis of a UTI requires specific clinical and microbiological criteria, many older adults are diagnosed with a UTI without meeting the diagnostic criteria, resulting in unnecessary antibiotic treatment and their potential side effects, and a failure to find the true cause of their presentation to hospital.

Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of UTI diagnoses amongst hospitalized older adults based on clinical and microbiological findings, and their corresponding antibiotic treatment (including complications), in addition to identifying possible factors associated with a confirmed UTI diagnosis.

Methods
A single-center retrospective cross-sectional study of older adult patients (n = 238) hospitalized at the University of Alberta Hospital with an admission diagnosis of UTI over a one-year period was performed.

Results
44.6% (n = 106) of patients had a diagnosis of UTI which was supported by documents clinical and microbiological findings while 43.3% (n = 103) of patients had bacteriuria without documented symptoms. 54.2% (n = 129) of all patients were treated with antibiotics, despite not having evidence to support a diagnosis of a UTI, with 15.9% (n = 37) of those patients experiencing complications including diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, and thrush. History of major neurocognitive disorder was significantly associated with diagnosis of UTI (p = 0.003).

Conclusion
UTIs are commonly misdiagnosed in hospitalized older adults by healthcare providers, resulting in the majority of such patients receiving unnecessary antibiotics, increasing the risk of complications. These findings will allow for initiatives to educate clinicians on the importance of UTI diagnosis in an older adult population and appropriately prescribing antibiotics to prevent unwanted complications.
Effects of hydroxyurea on fertility in male and female sickle cell disease patients. A systemic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Sewaralthahab Sarah , Alsubki Lujain A. , Alhrabi Maram S. , Alsultan Abdulrahman 
Published: June 2024

Background
Evidence supports the benefits of hydroxyurea (HU) in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD), but reservations remain due to long-term concerns of fertility. Retrospective analysis of clinical records of SCD patients (haemoglobin SS genotype) have identified gender-related differences in disease progression. This could inform risk stratification during SCD at diagnosis with the possibility to guide therapeutic decisions.

Methods
This systemic review and meta-analysis evaluated fertility parameters in both children (aged ≥ 6 years) and adults with SCD receiving HU therapy. Studies were sourced from PubMed and EMBASE from inception to July 2023. A total of 160 potentially relevant articles were identified.

Results
Four studies were included that evaluated the effects of HU on sperm parameters in males. A further 4 studies assessed anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and ovarian reserves in females. Differences from baseline values were used to identify compromised fertility. Amongst males, HU treatment negatively impacted the concentration of spermatozoa (MD = -15.48 million/mL; 95% CI: [-20.69, -10.26]; p< 0.001), which continued following treatment cessation (MD = -20.09 million/mL; 95% CI: [-38.78, -1.40]; P = 0.04). HU treatment also led to lower total sperm counts (MD = -105.87 million; 95% CI: [-140.61, -71.13]; P< 0.001) which persisted after treatment (MD = -53.05 million; 95% CI: [-104.96, -1.14]; P = 0.05). Sperm volume, initial forward motility and morphology were unaffected by HU treatment. In females, HU treatment decreased the mean AMH levels 1.83 (95% CI [1.42, 2.56]. A total of 18.2.% patients treated with HU showed reduced ovarian reserves.

Interpretation & conclusions
This systemic review and meta-analysis suggest that the use of HU for SCD impacts seminal fluid parameters in males and can diminish AMH levels and ovarian reserves in females.

This protocol presents a multilevel cluster randomized study in 24 communities in Cape Town, South Africa. The study comprises four specific aims. Aim 1, conducted during the formative phase, was to modify the original Couples Health CoOp (CHC) intervention to include antiretroviral therapy/pre-exposure prophylaxis (ART/PrEP), called the Couples Health CoOp Plus (CHC+), with review from our Community Collaborative Board and a Peer Advisory Board. Aim 1 has been completed for staging the trial. Aim 2 is to evaluate the impact of a stigma awareness and education workshop on community members’ attitudes and behaviors toward young women and men who use AODs and people in their community seeking HIV services (testing/ART/PrEP) and other health services in their local clinics. Aim 3 is to test the efficacy of the CHC+ to increase both partners’ PrEP/ART initiation and adherence (at 3 and 6 months) and to reduce alcohol and other drug use, sexual risk and gender-based violence, and to enhance positive gender norms and communication relative to HIV testing services (n = 480 couples). Aim 4 seeks to examine through mixed methods the interaction of the stigma awareness workshop and the CHC+ on increased PrEP and ART initiation, retention, and adherence among young women and their primary partners. Ongoing collaborations with community peer leaders and local outreach staff from these communities are essential for reaching the project’s aims. Additionally, a manualized field protocol with regular training, fidelity checks, and quality assurance are critical components of this multilevel community trial for successful ongoing data collection.

Tick-borne encephalitis infections without CNS involvement: An observational study in Latvia, 2007–2022
Authors: Freimane Zane , Karelis Guntis , Zolovs Maksims , Zavadska Dace 
Published: June 2024

Background
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a human viral infectious disease involving the central nervous system (CNS). It is caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). At present, there is very limited information regarding the clinical importance and health burden of TBE infections without signs of CNS inflammation. Moreover, such cases are omitted from official TBE surveillances and there are no reports of population-based studies.

Methods and findings
A nationwide population-based study was conducted in Latvia by intensively searching for symptomatic TBEV infections recorded in outpatient and hospital settings between 2007 and 2022. In total, 4,124 symptomatic TBEV infections were identified, of which 823 (20.0%) had no CNS involvement. Despite the lack of neurological symptoms, non-CNS TBE patients still experienced severe health conditions that required management in a hospital setting for a median duration of 7 days. Furthermore, lumbar puncture information was available for 708 of these patients, with 100 (14.1%) undergoing the procedure, suggesting a high suspicion of CNS involvement.

Conclusions
Clearly, non-CNS TBE has the potential to negatively impact the health of patients. The actual burden of non-CNS TBEV cases may be higher than we think as these cases are omitted from official TBE surveillances and are challenging to recognize.
Interactions Between Sociology as A Discipline and Maritime Industries and Related Pursuits with Special Reference to The South China Sea Coast
Authors: Feng Haiying , Squires Victor R. 
Published: June 2024

Sociology is the systematic study of social behaviour and human groups. It focuses primarily on the influence of social relationships upon people’s attitudes and behaviour and on how societies are established and change. As a field of study, sociology has a very broad scope. For the purposes of this commentary, there will be a narrowing to embody the key interactions between people who live, work and recreate in the relatively narrow belt where the land meets the sea. Of course, the full extent of the interactions may be felt far away because rivers and canals link the hinterland with the coastal zone. This paper makes several contributions to the growing body of literature in the application of the tools used by sociologists to assess and evaluate the multi-faceted nature of the trends emerging from the growth and importance of maritime industries and related pursuits along the South China seacoast. Beginning with a very brief history ideas about the land/sea interactions and some analysis of examples of environmental determinism in practice.
Nine treatments of 1000 mL therapeutic phlebotomy in a subject with polycythemia: A case report
Authors: Morton William J. , Hauge Anton , Opdahl Helge , Rein Erling Bekkestad , Søvik Signe , Hisdal Jonny 
Published: June 2024

AbstractLarge‐volume therapeutic phlebotomy is the mainstay of hemochromatosis treatment and offers an opportunity to investigate the hemodynamic changes during acute hypovolemia. An otherwise healthy 64‐year‐old male with hemochromatosis participated. On nine separate visits, 1000 mL therapeutic phlebotomy was performed. On one occasion, pre‐ and post‐phlebotomy orthostatic challenge with 27° reverse Trendelenburg position was administered. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and stroke volume were measured continuously during the procedures. The patient's tolerance to the interventions was continuously evaluated. The procedures were well tolerated by the patient. Mean arterial pressure was maintained during hemorrhage and following phlebotomy in both supine and reverse Trendelenburg positions, primarily through an increase in heart rate and systemic vascular resistance. The present study found that 1000 mL therapeutic phlebotomy in a patient with hemochromatosis may be acceptably and safely used to model hemorrhage. The approach demonstrates high clinical applicability and ethically robustness in comparison with volunteer studies.

The Role of Context in Understanding Colloquial Arabic Idiomatic Expressions by Jordanian Children
Authors: Alshbeekat Aseel , Alrabee Bara 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The present study examines the role of context in understanding colloquial Arabic idiomatic expressions by Jordanian good and poor comprehenders in two age groups: 10- and 12-year-olds. Children read short stories comprising Arabic expressions that could be interpreted as idiomatic or not; depending on the context in which they are presented. Familiar and unfamiliar idiomatic expressions were used in this study. The effect of four variables: age, reading comprehension level, meaning condition as well as familiarity with the idiomatic expressions on children’s understanding of idiomatic expressions was examined. Three variables were found to have a main effect on the number of correct answers given by children, these are: meaning condition, reading comprehension level, and familiarity of the idiom. Children gave more correct answers in the transparent meaning condition. More correct answers were given for familiar idiomatic expressions. Also, good comprehenders gave more correct answers than their poor counterparts. On the basis of age, the differences between the groups were not significant.
The Family Man in Ip Man Series: Ip Man as the Locale of Changing Hegemonic Masculinities
Authors: Liu Wenjia 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Ip Man series (2008, 2010, 2015, 2019) presents the fictional narrative of Ip Man (starring Donnie Yen), a renowned martial artist, and positions him as a revered figure within the kung fu genre. While Confucianism and nationalism are common themes in this genre, these films diverge from convention by portraying Ip Man’s masculinity in a manner that incorporates traditionally feminine characteristics. This paper aims to explore how the Ip Man series expands the notion of hegemonic masculinity in the kung fu genre by drawing upon the Daoist concept of androgyny and emphasizing men’s roles within their families. Firstly, the film series establishes a traditional Daoist perspective of androgynous gender ideals, celebrating the presence of feminine qualities within masculinity. Building upon this foundation, the movies delve into Ip Man’s relationships with his wife and children, presenting him as a caring husband and nurturing father who grapples with ordinary family issues. By incorporating traits traditionally associated with femininity into the protagonist’s masculinity (such as care and nurture), the series introduces a new model of hegemonic masculinity that reflects the societal expectations of twenty-first century mainland China.

Asset Recovery via Non-Conviction based Forfeiture: Rationale for Regulation and Recommendations for Implementation in Vietnam
Authors: Vu Cao Minh , Cao Thi Ngoc Anh 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Recovering stolen assets through non-conviction based forfeiture is one of eight avenues for asset recovery due to corruption outlined in the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Implementing legislative measures to confiscate criminal property through non-conviction based forfeiture is among the 40 recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force. Vietnam formally signed the United Nations Convention against Corruption in 2003 and, while holding an associate membership status in the Financial Action Task Force, Vietnamese legislation lacks provisions enabling the application of this measure. The magnitude of financial and asset losses attributable to corruption remains substantial, rendering existing legal mechanisms ineffectual. Limited success of asset recovery through criminal judgments were taken into account nonetheless, the current national situation calls for more stringent and emergent practices. Grounded in understanding the efficacy of non-conviction based asset recovery mechanisms, this research paper underscores the necessity for Vietnamese law to incorporate such provisions to combat corrupt practices and proposes actionable recommendations for its adoption. The study seeks to enhance Vietnam’s legal framework concerning asset recovery methodologies for more favorable outcomes in the future. Furthermore, it aims to serve as a credible resource for the global academic community, shedding light on Vietnam’s legal landscape and anti-corruption efforts. The findings of this study also benefit developing nations, particularly those in the process of formulating regulations about non-conviction based asset recovery measures.
An implementation of an extended theory of planned behavior to investigate consumer behavior on hygiene sanitation-certified livestock food products
Authors: Wibowo Candra Pungki , Syahlani Suci Paramitasari , Haryadi Fransiskus Trisakti 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Consumer acceptance of food safety has an important role in the success of hygiene sanitation standards with certification of veterinary control number (Nomor Kontrol Veteriner, hereinafter NKV) implementation for livestock-based food products. This study was conducted by applying the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) to analyze the influence of attitudes toward NKV-certified food products, subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), intention to buy, buying decision of NKV-certified food products, and knowledge. This study was conducted using a survey design, and data were collected from June to August 2023. Respondents were determined by a purposive sampling method. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and were analyzed with structural equation modeling-partial least squares software. The results showed that attitude toward NKV-certified food products, SN, and PBC influenced the intention to buy NKV-certified food products with β values of 0.377, 0.223, and 0.235, respectively. Then, PBC and intention to buy affected NKV-certified food product purchasing behavior with β = 0.304 and 0.340. Furthermore, knowledge affected attitude with β = 0.828 and purchasing behavior of NKV-certified food products β = 0.315 but did not significantly influence the intention to buy. This research implied that the intervention knowledge variable in TPB is valuable in predicting NKV-certified food product purchasing behavior. Continuous consumer education needs to be carried out by the government and other stakeholders in the food industry, in line with the NKV certification policy.
The Aesthetics and Politics of Psychotherapy: Literary, Cultural, and Media Perspectives on ‘Healing the Soul’
Authors: Rostek Joanna 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article discusses the growing significance of psychotherapy for literature, culture, media, and their analysis in the context of the proclaimed ‘Age of Therapeutization.’ It looks at definitions of (contemporary) psychotherapy and retraces the historical origins of the term as well as the field’s development throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It then argues for an engagement with psychotherapy on the part of literary, cultural, and media scholars that also takes account of non-psychoanalytical concepts and methods. Finally, the article explains the heuristic value of distinguishing between the aesthetics and the politics of psychotherapy and it outlines the contours of a methodology for studying how psychotherapeutic approaches map onto the content and/or form of literary, cultural, and media texts.
