Published: June 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsMany individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) present with co-occurring mental health disorders and other addictions, including behavioral addictions (BAs). Though several studies have investigated the relationship between SUDs and BAs, less research has focused specifically on compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB). Given that poly-addiction can hinder treatment outcomes, it is necessary to better understand the impact of co-occurring CSB and SUD. Therefore, the current study aimed to 1) determine the rate of CSB in a sample seeking treatment for SUDs, 2) identify demographic and clinical correlates of co-occurring CSB, and 3) to determine if co-occurring CSB impacts treatment outcomes for SUD.MethodsParticipants were 793 adults (71.1% men) ranging in age from 18–77 (M = 38.73) at an inpatient treatment facility for SUDs who were assessed for CSB upon admission into treatment. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires upon admission and at discharge to assess psychological and addiction symptoms.ResultsRates of CSB were 24%. Younger age and being single were associated with greater CSB. Mental distress and addiction symptoms were higher in participants with CSB. Predictors of CSB severity included greater symptoms of traumatic stress and interpersonal dysfunction. Rates of treatment completion were similar between participants with and without CSB.Discussion and ConclusionsThese results highlight several clinical and demographic correlates of CSB amongst individuals in treatment for SUD. However, CSB was not associated with poorer treatment outcomes. Further identifying characteristics associated with CSB can help clinicians identify individuals who may be at higher risk.
Семейная политика в странах Центральной и Восточной Европы в 2000 - 2020-х годах

Published: June 2024

Усиление неблагоприятных демографических тенденций в Центрально-Восточной Европе порождает серьезные экономические и социальные вызовы, требуя неотложных мер от государств региона. Семейная политика считается действенным инструментом, при грамотном использовании которого возможно существенное повышение уровня жизни семей с детьми, создание условий для личностного развития их членов и в целом укрепление демографического потенциала страны. Целью данной статьи является характеристика демографических процессов, а также модели и направлений семейной политики в странах Центрально-Восточной Европы. Семейную политику анализировали с позиции концепции государства всеобщего благосостояния (welfare state) с применением инструментов статистического анализа международных баз данных. Результаты исследования показали, что в текущем веке в рассматриваемом регионе при отрицательном естественном приросте и высоком уровне эмиграции наблюдается стабилизация показателей рождаемости, а в ряде государств – их рост, хотя и не достаточный для замещения поколений. Испытывая влияние общеевропейских процессов сближения паттернов семейной политики, Центрально-Восточный регион выделяется моделью материнской заботы с минимальным участием отцов в воспитании детей. Матерям предоставляются продолжительные (более протяженные, чем в западном регионе Европы) отпуска по уходу за детьми, однако относительно небольшие размеры пособий (в сравнении с более богатыми европейскими государствами) нередко подталкивают женщин к преждевременному возобновлению трудовой деятельности. В регионе значительно расширилась сеть учреждений дошкольного образования, тем не менее женщины при выходе на работу сталкиваются с их нехваткой. Извлечение уроков из опыта стран Центральной и Восточной Европы может способствовать совершенствованию семейной политики российского государства.

В статье рассматриваются этнодемографические процессы у удмуртов во второй половине 1930-х – 1950-х годах. В рамках исследования определены этнодемографические изменения у удмуртов, произошедшие на старте демографического перехода данной этнической общности. Авторы используют сведения Всесоюзных переписей населения 1937, 1939, 1959 г. и данные текущего учета, а именно форму 3, позволившую проанализировать процессы воспроизводства у удмуртов в региональном разрезе. Исследователи выделяют основные регионы присутствия удмуртов, анализируют динамику численности, состав удмуртов в изучаемых регионах. Вследствие индустриализации удельный вес удмуртов в наиболее урбанизированных регионах их присутствия увеличился, данная тенденция сохранилась и в послевоенный период. В Удмуртской АССР численность и удельный вес этнических удмуртов сократились. Во второй половине 1930-х годов у удмуртов еще сохраняется традиционный тип воспроизводства. Показатели рождаемости были высокими, так же как и уровень смертности, в общей структуре которого существенной была смертность младенцев. Голод, социально-экономические преобразования, внутри- и внешнеполитические процессы оказали сильное воздействие на воспроизводство населения. К концу 1930-х годов у удмуртов, проживающих в городах, прослеживаются изменения в демографическом поведении. К концу 1950-х годов в результате воздействия Великой Отечественной войны и социально-экономических изменений послевоенного времени у удмуртов происходят существенные изменения в процессах воспроизводства населения.

Authors: Krisdiana Bagus Putra 
Published: June 2024

This research was conducted to investigate partially and simultaneously significant contributions between global reading, problem-solving, support reading, worry, emotionality, and task-generated interference to reading comprehension and the dominant predictor variable to reading comprehension with 540 learners at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. With the Multiple Linear Regression analysis, this study administered a reading comprehension test, SORS, and FLRAS questionnaires to collect the data. The results of the statistical calculation showed that t values of global reading (4.549), problem-solving (4.415), support reading (4.667), worry (2.721), emotionality (2.596), and task-generated interference (2.955) in which all were higher than t table (1.964), so there is a partially significant contribution between all of the predictor variables to reading comprehension. This study used the Multiple Linear Regression analysis to gather data by administering the SORS, FLRAS questionnaire, and reading comprehension test. The statistical analysis revealed a partially significant contribution between all predictor variables to reading comprehension, with t-values for global reading (4.549), problem-solving (4.415), support reading (4.667), worry (2.721), emotionality (2.596), and task-generated interference (2.955) all surpassing the t-table (1.964). A simultaneously significant contribution to reading comprehension was made by global reading, problem-solving, support reading, worry, emotionality, task-generated interference, and the computed F value of 18.195, which was higher than the F table (2.116). In addition, if the Standardized Coefficients Beta column was observed, the dominant variable in reading anxiety was task-generated interference, which had the highest value (.117) in reading anxiety, and the dominant variable in reading strategies, which was support reading, which also had the highest value (.187) of all predictor variables.

Abstract

The role that fish play in healthy, sustainable diets is well documented, but getting fish into rural diets presents supply and demand challenges. Nearshore fish-aggregating devices (FADs) are simple, climate smart devices placed in coastal fishing grounds away from reefs to concentrate pelagic fish and make them easier for fishers to catch. We conducted a cluster-randomized, controlled trial in Timor-Leste to test the effects of nearshore FADs on fish catch rates and to evaluate the effects of the FAD placement alone, a social behaviour change (SBC) component alone, and the combined effects of the FAD and SBC on household weekly fish purchase and women’s and children’s consumption the day prior. Catch data was collected daily from landing sites, using a digital fisheries monitoring system. Household fish purchases were measured by asking detailed questions about purchases in the previous seven days, and qualitative 24-hour recalls were conducted with a woman of reproductive age in the house. Analysis was intention-to-treat. The catch per unit of fishing effort (CPUE) significantly increased at one fishing ground with FADs (0.85 kg/fisher/hr) but decreased significantly at two fishing grounds, one by –0.43 kg and one by –0.50 kg. Households in the FADs+SBC arm were almost twice as likely to purchase fish during the previous week compared to the control households (PR; 1.90, 95% CI; 1.14, 3.20, p<0.05). Women in the FAD+SBC arm were 4 times as likely to report consuming fish the day prior as compared to women in the control arm (PR: 4.17, 95% CI 1.88, 9.29; p<0.001). There were no differences in fish purchases or consumption in either the FAD alone or SBC alone arms. From our finding that both the FAD placement and SBC interventions were required to improve diets, we conclude that efforts, investments, and programs aimed at improving diets should focus on both supply and demand aspects of the food system.

Abstract

Reliable performance of high-power electron accelerators is a very important aspect, as the numerous industrial applications for which they are employed require 24 x 7 operation. For this purpose, it is necessary to understand the failures that occur in such accelerator systems and employ mitigation methods to ensure their availability. Beam scanning system, which helps to deliver a uniform dose to the products being irradiated under the electron beam, is a critical sub-system of in industrial accelerators. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis has been performed and it is identified that the titanium foil in beam scanning system is considered as weakest link affecting the availability of the system. This paper focuses on the beam scanning system of a 1 MeV DC Accelerator, to analyse the failure of a punctured titanium foil window, through which the beam emerges for irradiation. Analysis through SEM analysis and Raman spectroscopy have been conducted and results are discussed here. Mechanistic model for Ti grade 2 window has been developed and failure probability of the foil has been estimated. Using this estimation, Bayesian network has been developed, with operational data and expert judgement. Mitigation techniques are recommended to ensure the targeted availability of the accelerator.

Abstract

Context: According to the World Health Organization, alcohol is a major global public health problem, leading to a significant increase in illness and death. To treat alcohol use disorders, new therapeutic tools are being promoted, among which virtual reality (VR) shows promise. Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of VR in reducing alcohol cravings in patients, but there is a lack of data on its effectiveness in maintaining abstinence or reducing consumption in recently abstinent individuals.
The E-Reva study aims to compare the efficacy of a treatment strategy combining virtual reality cue exposure therapy (VR-CET) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with conventional CBT in reducing alcohol consumption and craving in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). In addition to this primary objective, the study will compare the effects of VR-CET combined with CBT on anxiety, depression, rumination, and feelings of self-efficacy versus conventional CBT.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial will be conducted over 8 months in four addiction departments in France. It includes two parallel groups: i) the VR-CET + CBT group, and ii) the CBT-only group, which serves as a control group.
Participants will be recruited by the investigating doctor in the addiction centers. The sample will consist of 156 patients diagnosed with AUD and abstinent for at least 15 days.
Both treatment groups will participate in four group CBT sessions followed by four individual sessions: i) the VR-CET group will be exposed to virtual environments associated with alcohol-related stimuli, ii) the CBT-only group will receive traditional CBT sessions. After completion of the 8 sessions, patients will be followed up for 6 months. The primary outcome is the cumulative number of standard drinks consumed at 8 months, assessed using the TLFB method.
Discussion: Despite the promise of VR-CET to reduce the desire to drink, the effect on alcohol consumption remains uncertain in the existing literature. Our protocol aims to address the limitations of previous research by increasing sample size, targeting consumption reduction, and incorporating neutral environments. E-Reva aims to enrich the literature on the use of VR in the treatment of AUD and open new perspectives for future interventions.

When overfishing is the sustainable option: controlling a range-extender
Authors: Cresswell Katherine , Little Lorne , Hartmann Klaas , Gardner Caleb , Keane John , Ling Scott , Bradshaw Stephen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Climate change is driving species to colonise new ranges, sometimes causing uncontrollable damage. We present a remarkable scenario where government-supported incentives have driven the establishment of a commercial fishery targeting a destructive urchin, intentionally encouraging overfishing to protect kelp ecosystems. This ecosystem management strategy is paradoxical in the objective to overfish sustainably. Due to consistent and increasing larval influx, eradication of urchins in their extended range is implausible. Management therefore focuses on maintaining urchin density below a critical threshold while ensuring a viable commercial fishery for long-term species control. Our bio-economic model dissects the fishery’s impact, offering practical strategies for controlling a destructive range-extender given economic and spatial dynamics. Beyond the implications of subsidising a commercial fishery to counteract the impacts of climate change, our study explores the conflict between exploitation and conservation, challenging traditional views and presenting practical pathways to sustainability.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

This study aimed to isolate cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) resistant bacteria from the soil around the steel industry and to remove both metals from aqueous solution by coupling the bacteria with modified chitosan. A combination of corn biochar, and lignosulfonate with chitosan was used to immobilize the bacteria. Six bacterial isolates were identified and half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) were determined. FTIR analysis of Pb- and Cd- exposed bacteria revealed the functional groups involved in metal sorption. Immobilized bacteria in biochar-chitosan and lignosulfonate-chitosan beads could efficiently remove metals. The best fit of adsorption isotherms for Cd and Pb was obtained using the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity at an initial concentration of 200 mg L− 1 of Cd and Pb was 52.72 mg g− 1 and 58.68 mg g− 1, respectively, by immobilized bacteria using biochar in chitosan (CbB). The adsorption capacity of the beads for both metals increased with increasing contact time. The Intraparticle diffusion model indicated the best fit to explain the kinetic data for Pb and Cd. The maximum removal of Pb and Cd by CbB were 99.7% and 99.4%, respectively, after 240 min.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background and aim
Bismuth and non-bismuth quadruple therapy are the guideline-recommended first-line therapy in children with Helicobacter pylori infection in areas with high antibiotic resistance. However, their efficacy in children is uncertain and there are few well-designed studies. Here, we evaluated the eradication rates of standard triple therapy, bismuth-based quadruple therapy and sequential therapy in children with H. pylori infection.
Methods
A randomised controlled trial was conducted in children infected with H. pylori in West China Second Hospital. They were randomly assigned to 14-day standard triple therapy (omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy (bismuth + omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin) and 10-day sequential therapy (omeprazole + amoxicillin for 5 days followed by omeprazole + clarithromycin + metronidazole for 5 days). The eradication rate was assessed by a 13C-urea breath test 4 to 6 weeks after therapy completion. Symptom improvement and adverse events were compared among the groups.
Results
In total, 132 patients were enrolled. The eradication rates of 14-day standard triple therapy, 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy and 10-day sequential therapy were 70.0%, 78.9% and 50.0% in per-protocol analysis and 63.6%, 68.2% and 43.2% in intention-to-treat analysis, respectively. Symptom improvement and adverse drug event rates were similar in the three groups.
Conclusion
The three therapeutic regimens evaluated in this study are equally not recommendable for H. pylori infection treatment due to unsatisfactory eradication rates. The high prevalence of clarithromycin resistance makes the use of clarithromycin-based quadruple therapy not advisable, even in combination with amoxicillin and bismuth salts.

Abstract

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Frontal Assessment Battery are screening tests for dementia. The go/no-go task offers an alternative approach for evaluating dementia patients. However, its role in screening for dementia remains unclear. We aimed to explore the possibility of using the go/no-go task as a screening test for dementia. Twenty-four Japanese individuals were evaluated using the go/no-go task, the MMSE, and the MoCA. The total MMSE and MoCA scores were correlated with the total number of errors in the go/no-go task (r=-0.699, p < 0.01; r=-0.756, p < 0.01). Moreover, When the MoCA cutoff value was 25 for MCI, the optimal cutoff score for the total number of error in the go/no-go task to detect MCI was 2, with an Area Under curve (AUC) of 0.98, a sensitivity of 0.94. When the MMSE cutoff value was 27 for MCI, the optimal cutoff score for the total number of error in the go/no-go task to detect MCI was 6, with an AUC of 0.89, a sensitivity of 0.76, showed respectively values close to 1. The go/no-go task is possible a practical screening test for dementia.
