How does the digital transformation of agriculture affect carbon emissions? Evidence from China’s provincial panel data
Authors: Chen Yihui , Li Minjie 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAgriculture is becoming a substantial contributor to carbon emissions in China, and the efficient reduction of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) has become a universal concern. Currently, the digital transformation of agriculture (DTA) provides a new way to reduce carbon emissions. However, questions regarding whether and how DTA suppresses ACEs remain the focus of both academic and practical attention; thus, they serve as the objectives of this study. Based on theoretical analyzes, the carbon emission reduction effect of DTA is empirically analyzed using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces between 2015 and 2021 with a benchmark regression model, mediating effect model and threshold effect model. The results show the following: (1) DTA significantly reduces ACEs. (2) DTA reduces ACEs through three paths: expanding the agricultural production scale, optimizing the agricultural industrial structure, and promoting agricultural technological progress. The agricultural industrial structure has the most considerable mediating effect, while the agricultural production scale expansion has the smallest effect. (3) The inhibitory effect of DTA on ACEs shows very distinct heterogeneity. DTA primarily reduces ACEs in eastern and nongrain production areas yet has an insignificant impact on other areas. In addition, the DTA has a significant inhibitory effect on ACEs from both fertilizers and diesel oil. (4) The inhibitory effect of DTA on ACEs is nonlinear rather than linear. There is a single threshold effect for the effect of DTA on ACEs, which is insignificant below the threshold and significantly negative above the threshold. Therefore, China’s central and local governments need to increase the level of DTA, encourage farmers to moderately expand the scale of their operations, emphasize the agricultural service industry, and enhance agricultural technological innovation to ultimately reduce ACEs.
Reduced Mn uptake of pleiotropic ZIP8 SNP is caused by its loss of Mn-responsive accumulation on the cell-surface

ABSTRACT
Zrt/Irt-like protein 8 (ZIP8), which is a Zn transporter, plays a pivotal role as a Mn transporter. Recent studies have shown that a ZIP8 SNP (rs13107325 C→T, A391T) is associated with multiple diseases, likely by causing systemic Mn deficiency. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We attempted to address this issue in cell-based experiments using Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing ZIP8 WT or the A391T SNP mutant under the control of the Tet-regulatable promoter. We showed that the A391T mutant lost the property of Mn-responsive accumulation on the cell surface, which was observed in WT ZIP8. We also showed that the loss of Mn-responsive accumulation of A391T mutant was associated with its reduced Mn uptake, compared with WT ZIP8, in the Mn uptake assay using the radioisotope 54Mn. Our results potentially explain how the ZIP8 A391T substitution is associated with disease pathogenesis caused by Mn deficiency.
Short-Term Effectiveness of Residential Out-of-Home Care for Children and Youth—A Scoping Review
Authors: Eriksson Pia , Aaltio Elina , Laajasalo Taina 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
A scoping review on the short-term (during care) outcomes of residential care at the user level (children and their families) was conducted. The objective was to understand the extent and type of recent research focusing on outcomes during residential care placement as a child protection intervention and map the findings of the original studies. In six databases, 2,693 records of recent peer-reviewed articles with an abstract in English were found. A total of seventeen original studies were included in the review. In the studies, three distinct types of interventions were identified—implemented interventions, innovations and service as usual (SAU). The findings revealed variations in researchers’ definitions of the concept of effectiveness and heterogeneity in methodology. Three studies were randomised control trials, two were quasi-experimental and twelve other designs were quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods studies. Most of the interventions in the original studies, brought about positive change in different dimensions of the wellbeing or functioning of users. The most robust designs were used in studying previously assessed interventions designed to combat specific problems. Whilst studies on SAU have demonstrated improvements in various aspects, the inherent complexity and diversity of residential care make the assessment of effectiveness a challenging task.

Abstract

Background
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a known cause of cervical cancer (CC). Latvia has a high incidence of CC compared with the average incidence in the European Union. This study aims to fill the data gap on the HR-HPV burden in Latvia, providing information on its prevalence and associated factors.

Methods
The cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to April 2022. Participants 25–70 years old visiting a general practitioner (general population) or those referred to a colposcopy clinic with changes in their cervical cytology (colposcopy population) collected vaginal self-sample and completed a paper-based questionnaire. Samples were analyzed with Cobas 6800 System (Roche) for HPV16, HPV18 and other HR-HPV (HPV31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59/66/68). Descriptive statistics for categorical variables were performed. The Chi-square test was used to determine for the statistical significance of differences in the proportions of the dependent variable between subgroups of the independent variable. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with positive HR-HPV status. Results were considered statistically significant at P &lt; 0.05.

Results
A total of 1274 participants provided a valid sample. The prevalence of any HR-HPV infection was 66.8% in the colposcopy group and 11.0% in the general population. Factors associated with positive HR-HPV status were marital status single/divorced/widowed (vs. married/cohabiting) [adjusted OR (aOR) 2.6; P = 0.003], higher number of lifetime sex partners [aOR 5.1 (P &lt; 0.001) and 4.0 (P = 0.001)] for six or more and three to five partners in the general population; in the colposcopy group, the statistical significance remained only for Latvian ethnicity (vs. other) (aOR 1.8; P = 0.008) and current smoking (vs. never) (aOR 1.9; P = 0.01).

Conclusion
We documented a comparison to European Union HR-HPV infection burden in Latvia. Any HR-HPV positivity was significantly associated with sexual and other health behavior.
Self-Compassion, Stressor Exposure, and Negative Affect: A Daily Diary Study of Older Adults

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Self-compassion has been identified as a psychological resource for aging well. To date, self-compassion among older adults has typically been conceptualized as a trait variable. This study examined whether day-to-day (state) variability in self-compassion was associated with negative affective reactivity to daily stressors.

Methods
Daily diary assessment methods were used to examine the potential moderating role of between- and within-person self-compassion on the relationship between daily stressors and negative affect. A community-based sample of 107 older adults aged 65+ completed questionnaires once daily over 14 days.

Results
Multilevel modeling revealed that 37% of the variance in self-compassion occurred within persons. Daily self-compassion moderated the relationship between daily stressor exposure and daily negative affect. On days with greater stressor exposure than usual, older adults showed less negative affective reactivity on days when self-compassion was higher, compared with days when self-compassion was lower. No moderating effects were observed for between-person (trait) self-compassion.

Discussion
These findings suggest that self-compassion in older adults should be conceptualized as both state and trait variables and that state self-compassion may be protective in the stress–reactivity pathway. Future research should investigate whether brief self-compassion interventions might help older adults to avoid or downregulate negative emotions in response to stressors.
Hiding in the hills: evidence for two novel mountain-dwelling freshwater crabs of Potamonautes (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamonautidae) from South Africa
Authors: Mengel Kayleigh , Daniels Savel R 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Specimens of freshwater crabs (PotamonautesMacLeay, 1838) collected from mountainous regions in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa could not be assigned to species level and possibly represented novel lineages. The phylogenetic placement of these two potential novel lineages were investigated with the use of DNA sequence data from three mitochondrial loci (cytochrome oxidase c subunit one - COI, 12S rRNA, and 16S rRNA) and one nuclear locus (histone 3 (H3)), using a maximum likelihood and Bayesian Inference approach incorporating all Potamonautes species described from southern Africa. In addition, a divergence time estimation was undertaken on the tree topology to determine the timing of cladogenesis. Morphometric analyses were also conducted on the two undescribed lineages and co-distributed, phylogenetically closely-related species (P. flavusjoDaniels, Phiri & Bayliss, 2014 and P. mariepskoppieDaniels, Barnes, Marais & Gouws, 2021) using discriminant function analyses of carapace and pereiopod variables. Phylogenetic results revealed that the two novel species are sister groups and related to a clade of endemic subtropical species present in north-eastern South Africa, while the divergence time estimation indicates Mio/Pliocene cladogenesis. The morphometric results corroborate the phylogenetic distinction between the two novel lineages and co-distributed sister species. Potamonautes wolkbergin. sp. and P. aurantiusn. sp. are described and compared with other congeneric South African taxa.
Resisting the State Crimes of the Global North
Authors: Hodgson Natalie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Civil society actors are increasingly turning to international criminal law in response to harmful conduct by the states of the Global North. Legal and strategic concerns have been raised about this practice. It is unclear whether the International Criminal Court will ever be able or willing to effectively respond to the conduct of states, particularly the powerful states of the Global North. However, there is growing recognition that the expressive power of international criminal law may be strategically used beyond the courtroom. Drawing on criminological scholarship, this article suggests that international criminal law may offer potential in resisting the state crimes of the Global North. International criminal law provides civil society with a way to sociologically criminalize the state from below and challenge the hegemonic beliefs that enable state crime. Such expressive advocacy might ultimately play a role in expanding legal understandings of what constitutes an international crime to include the conduct of the Global North.
Driving asymmetric red supergiant winds with binary interactions
Authors: Landri Camille , Pejcha Ondřej 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Massive stars in the red supergiant (RSG) phase are known to undergo strong mass-loss through winds and observations indicate that a substantial part of this mass-loss could be driven by localized and episodic outflows. Various mechanisms have been considered to explain this type of mass-loss in RSGs, but these models often focus on single-star evolution. However, massive stars commonly evolve in binary systems, potentially interacting with their companions. Motivated by observations of the highly asymmetric circumstellar ejecta around the RSG VY CMa, we investigate a scenario where a companion on an eccentric orbit grazes the surface of an RSG at periastron. The companion ejects part of the outer RSG envelope, which radiatively cools, reaching the proper conditions for dust condensation and eventually giving rise to dust-driven winds. Using simple treatments for radiative cooling and dust-driven winds, we perform three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of this scenario with a $20\, {\rm M}_\odot$ RSG and a $2\, {\rm M}_\odot$ companion. We follow the evolution of the binary throughout a total of 14 orbits and observe that the orbit tightens after each interaction, in turn enhancing the mass-loss of subsequent interactions. We show that one such grazing interaction yields outflows of $3\times 10^{-4}\, {\rm M}_\odot$, which later results in wide asymmetric dusty ejecta, carrying a total mass of $0.185\, {\rm M}_\odot$ by the end of simulations. We discuss the implications for the evolution of the binary, potential observational signatures, as well as future improvements of the model required to provide sensible predictions for the evolution of massive binaries.
Embedded social workers within police organizations: Comparing domestic violence interventions in France and Finland
Authors: Bonnet François , Delpeuch Thierry , Houtsonen Jarmo , Mela Marianne 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article examines police–social work partnerships in addressing domestic violence through the embedded social worker type of arrangement in France and Finland. Using comparative analysis, we explore how organizational and institutional factors promote effective collaboration, focussing on trust-building and information exchange. Our findings from qualitative interviews and document analysis indicate that successful collaboration hinges on formal organizational structures that support operations while ensuring professional autonomy. Such conditions foster mutual trust, crucial for sharing sensitive information without breaching confidentiality or ethical norms. We find that excessive oversight leads to mistrust and information withholding. Additionally, our analysis reveals that the effectiveness of these collaborations varies by national context due to differing public pressures and policy priorities. In France, increased attention to domestic violence has paradoxically weakened partnerships by curtailing social workers’ autonomy. In Finland, with less emphasis on domestic violence, these issues have become a lower priority, altering the focus of collaboration.

Authors: Türkben Polat Hilal , Burucu Rukiye 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the spiritual well-being and self-efficacy levels in patients with intestinal stomas.

METHODS
For this descriptive study, researchers conducted face-to-face interviews with 51 participants. Data were analyzed using a descriptive characteristics questionnaire, the Stoma Self-efficacy Scale (SSES), and the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-being Scale (TF-SWBS).

RESULTS
Participants had a mean SSES score of 56.98 ± 21.24. Education level and stoma type affected the SSES scores. Income level affected TF-SWBS scores. There was no correlation between SSES and TF-SWBS total scores. There was a positive correlation between TF-SWBS scores and stoma duration and age.

CONCLUSIONS
Nurses should provide trainings to develop self-efficacy among and enhance psychosocial and spiritual support for patients with a stoma.

Authors: Sengul Tuba , Karadag Ayise , Kilic Havanur 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDUndergraduate nursing students experience significant differences between practice with models, manikins, or simulation applications and real patients in a clinical setting. Students’ experiences applying their theoretical knowledge to real patient-care practices are little understood.OBJECTIVETo determine the experiences of nursing students in providing skin, chronic wound, and ostomy care to real patients for the first time in a clinical setting within the content of the Ostomy and Wound Care Nursing Track Program (OWCNTP) and to define factors affecting this program.METHODSThe research was conducted qualitatively using the individual critical incident technique, and 17 senior undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the Nursing OWCNTP were selected using a simple random sampling method. In the classroom setting, individual face-to-face interviews were conducted using the critical incident technique. Data were analyzed with inductive content analysis.RESULTSThe research found that students experience genuine caregiving in putting their experiences from the Track Program into practice with real patients in a clinical setting. Three main themes were identified: experiencing real patient care in a clinical setting, being a competent student, and being a novice student.CONCLUSIONSThe study found that nursing students enrolled in the OWCNTP could apply their theoretical knowledge to care for real patients in clinical settings. Therefore, it is recommended that these programs be integrated into nursing curricula.
Urinary Catheter-Related Meatal Pressure Injury Risk Factors in Male Critical Care Patients: A Prospective Repeated-Measures Study
Authors: Avci Hasan , Alcan Aliye Okgün 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
Urinary catheter-related meatal pressure injury (UCR-MPI) is a preventable and serious complication of indwelling urinary catheter use. This prospective study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of UCR-MPI in male critical care patients.

METHODS
A total of 138 male patients 18 years and older using an indwelling urinary catheter were included in the study. Participants’ perineal areas were assessed daily for the development of MPI.

RESULTS
The UCR-MPI prevalence was 26.1% (n = 36/138). Most patients (61.1%) had a grade I UCR-MPI with intact skin and mucosa and nonblanchable erythema. Urinary catheter irrigation (P = .001), lower Braden Scale scores (P = .040), lower Glasgow Coma Scale score (P = .002), higher Itaki Fall Risk Scale score (P = .040), higher dependency level (P = .027), hypoalbuminemia (P = .002), and perineal edema (P = .001) were risk factors for UCR-MPI.

CONCLUSIONS
The prevalence of UCR-MPI was high in this sample. Providers should take preventive measures to prevent UCR-MPI in patients with a penis including early and frequent risk assessment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify, analyze, and synthesize the best evidence on the effectiveness of clinical practicum experience in drug addiction treatment facilities on nursing students' attitudes toward alcohol, alcohol use disorder (AUD), and persons with AUD. This systematic review followed the recommendations of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and used the System for the Unified Management of the Assessment and Review of Information to assess methodological quality and extract data for meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search of the EBSCO databases, Embase, PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Mednar, Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses catalog was conducted. The System for the Unified Management of the Assessment and Review of Information tool was used for the extraction and critical evaluation of the selected articles followed by a meta-analysis. After removing duplicates, 2,831 publications were identified, and eight met the inclusion criteria. More positive attitudes were observed after performing practicum experience in specialized services (−1.27, 95% confidence interval [−2.85, −0.30]), and an increase in the motivation and satisfaction among the students to care for patients with AUD was also noted. In conclusion, the review suggests that clinical practicum experience in a drug addiction treatment facility has the potential to change the attitudes of nursing students toward AUD and persons with AUD.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Functions of Nursing Professionals in the Care of Opioid Use Disorder

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Nursing professionals are vitally involved in the cascade of care for opioid use disorders (OUDs). The global spread of COVID-19 has had complex effects on public health aspects of major diseases, including OUDs. There are limited data on the major ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the functions of nursing professionals in the care of OUDs.

Method
This systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and examined published data for trends in OUD care during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on nursing functions. The National Library of Medicine PubMed database and the EMBASE database were examined for peer-reviewed studies with primary data published between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021.

Review Findings and Conclusions
Rapid changes were observed in numerous aspects of OUDs during the early pandemic stage, as well as its care by nursing and other health professionals. These changes include increased overdoses (primarily from synthetic opioids such as fentanyl) and emergency department visits. These trends varied considerably across U.S. jurisdictions, underscoring the importance of region-specific examinations for public health policy and intervention. Out of necessity, healthcare systems and nursing professionals adapted to the challenges of OUD care in the pandemic. These adaptations included increases in telehealth services, increases in take-home doses of methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone, and expansion of layperson training in the use of naloxone for overdose reversal. It is likely that some of these adaptations will result in long-term changes in standards of care practices for OUDs by nursing professionals.
