Published: February 2025

AbstractIntroductionThe personalised citizen assistance for social participation (APIC) is promising to foster health and social participation of older adults with disabilities, especially when working in collaboration with occupational therapists. When implemented by community organisations, little is known about the influence of APIC on older adults, including perspectives of older adults and attendants. This study aimed to explore the short‐term influence of APIC on physical and mental health, social participation, and life satisfaction of older adults with disabilities by considering the perspectives of older adults and their attendant.MethodsA mixed methods study was carried out by a team, including two occupational therapists. Twelve attendants were interviewed, and 12 older adults completed questionnaires about their health, social participation, and life satisfaction before and after the APIC.ResultsImprovements in mental health, social participation, and life satisfaction were found. The influence of APIC was generally more subtle than expected and greatly affected by older adults' personal and environmental factors.Consumer and community involvementThis study was possible because of the collaboration between researchers, health‐care professionals, community organisations, volunteers, and older adults.ConclusionThe APIC might have a limited influence on the physical health of older adults with disabilities. Future studies examining the effects of this intervention on different levels of disabilities are recommended to target the best suited population.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARYThe personalised citizen assistance for social participation (APIC) is a 12‐month intervention in which an older adult with disabilities (i.e., having difficulty to perform daily activities) meets weekly with a volunteer to experiment social activities. Although promising, little is known about the influence of APIC on older adults. This study explores the influence of APIC on the health, social participation (i.e., involvement in activities that provide interactions with others), and life satisfaction of older adults with disabilities. The perspective of 12 older adults and 12 volunteers were considered. Improvements in mental health, social participation, and life satisfaction of older adults were observed, but the influence of APIC was greatly affected by other factors such as their physical capabilities and their place of residence. APIC seems to have a limited influence on the physical health of older adults with disabilities.
Responding to Menopause at Work as an Identity Threat: Resilience as Resource for Cognitive and Emotional Identity Work
Authors: Steffan Belinda , Potočnik Kristina 
Published: February 2025

AbstractMenopause can be an emotional transition and can affect resilience, confidence, quality of life and work identity. This transition is a catalyst for emotional identity work, which is done to achieve a plausible, coherent sense of self. Menopause symptoms can disrupt a sense of self with new‐felt feelings of fear, shame and vulnerability. Fear can hinder cognitive flexibility, or being open to introspection, which impacts on how identity work is resourced. We contribute to menopause at work and identity work literatures by highlighting how life transitions without viable alternatives are experienced and responded to as hitherto unexplored internally driven identity threats. Drawing on a mixed‐method study, we show how compromised resilience, due to menopause, disrupts identity work. We also show how restored and realistic resilience, developed through better awareness of menopause and a post‐menopause reflection, enables both effective cognitive identity work and consequently enhanced engagement with emotional identity work.
Evaluation of Reference Genes for Quantitative Real‐Time PCR in Honey Bee, Apis mellifera, Under Various Miticide Exposure Conditions
Authors: Kim HeeJin , Kim Young Ho 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTVarious miticides are being applied to apiaries to prevent mites. However, abuse of miticides could seriously damage bee health. To understand the physiological response of honey bees caused by inappropriate exposure to miticides, it is necessary to identify the marker genes whose expression alters in honey bees following exposure to miticides. Although quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) is widely used for gene expression analysis, selecting appropriate stably expressed reference gene(s) across various conditions is essential for accurately determining target gene expression levels. Therefore, this study assessed the expression stabilities of 10 candidate reference genes (RPS5, RPS18, GAPDH, ARF1, RAB1a, PPI, PGK, SDH, TBP, and EF1) using Cq distribution and four algorithm programs (NormFinder, BestKeeper, geNorm, and RefFinder). Subsequently, we validated various normalization methods using each of the 10 reference genes and a combination of multiple genes by calculating the expression of the target gene (SOD2). Based on the various analysis methods used in this study, RPS5 is suggested as the most optimal reference gene for qRT‐PCR analysis in honey bees under multiple conditions of miticide exposure.

AbstractThere is growing interest by consumers worldwide for edible indigenous plants and wild foods. To highlight and enhance their unique sensory properties, comprehensive sensory characterization is essential to understand and refine their sensory attributes. The aim of this study was to characterize the odor of six edible native New Zealand plants that have significant potential in food applications, using sensory analysis and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and uncover the link between annotated volatile compounds and the desirable odor attributes that drive consumer acceptance. A lexicon of 22 odor attributes was developed through six focus groups of six consumers each (n = 36). A Rate All That Apply (RATA) trial was undertaken with consumers (n = 121) to describe the intensity of the odor attributes and overall consumer liking of the odor of each plant. Results showed the characterization of the plant's odor differed significantly across species. Horopito was characterized as “herby,” “peppery,” “spicy,” “minty,” and “citrus”; kawakawa was “sour,” “sweet,” “floral,” and “fruity”; pikopiko and kiokio were “earthy/musty,” “dry grass/hay,” and “fishy”; red matipo was “sweet,” “fruity,” “sour,” “leafy,” and “green tea”; and lemonwood was “leafy” and “grassy.” Horopito was the most preferred odor by consumers, and pikopiko the least. GC–MS annotated 178 volatile compounds and their peak intensity across the six species. Stepwise regression shortlisted 42 volatile compounds (of which terpenes were the most common) that best explained each of the 22 odor attributes. These results can assist with the application of these native plants as food ingredients.
Mapping Policies and Regulations for Safe and Healthy Digital Environments for Children and Adolescents

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTPolicies and regulations have the potential to shape the dynamics of digital transformations, preventing negative health outcomes and creating healthier and safer digital environments. To gain insight into how countries are approaching safety in digital environments for children and adolescents, the Digital Transformations for Health‐Lab (DTH‐Lab) team analyzed policies and regulations worldwide, mapping national strategies to protect young people from online harms, including restrictions on smartphone use. While existing legislation often addresses the mental and physical health consequences of online sexual exploitation, abuse, and cyberbullying, other online risks like exposure to inappropriate content, addictive applications, and misleading marketing practices, along with their associated health impacts, are largely overlooked. A surprising finding is the limited involvement of health ministries or departments in shaping these policies. These results underscore the urgent need for the health sector to take a more proactive role in improving the safety and well‐being of children and adolescents in digital environments. International agencies, nongovernmental organizations, health professional associations, civil society, and researchers must establish a narrative that encourages and supports the active participation of the health sector, especially through public health approaches that can support and shape effective policy responses with children's and adolescents' well‐being at heart in the digital age.
Spatial close‐kin mark‐recapture models applied to terrestrial species with continuous natal dispersal

Abstract

Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) methods use information on genetic relatedness among individuals to estimate demographic parameters. An individual's genotype can be considered a ‘recapture’ of each of its parent's genotype, and the frequency of kin‐pair matches detected in a population sample can directly inform estimates of abundance. CKMR inference procedures require analysts to define kinship probabilities in functional forms, which inevitably involve simplifying assumptions. Among others, population structure can have a strong influence on how kinship probabilities are formulated. Many terrestrial species are philopatric or face barriers to dispersal, and not accounting for dispersal limitation in kinship probabilities, can create substantial bias if sampling is also spatially structured (e.g. via harvest).

We present a spatially explicit formulation of CKMR that corrects for incomplete mixing by incorporating natal dispersal distances and spatial distribution of individuals into the kinship probabilities. We used individual‐based simulations to evaluate the accuracy of abundance estimates obtained with one spatially naïve and two spatially explicit CKMR models across six scenarios with distinct spatial patterns of relative abundance and sampling probability.

Estimates of abundance obtained with a CKMR model naïve to spatial structure were negatively biased when sampling was spatially biased. Incorporating patterns of natal dispersal in the kinship probabilities helped address this bias, but estimates were not always accurate depending on the model used and the scenario considered.

Incorporating natal dispersal into spatially structured CKMR models can address the bias created by population structure and heterogeneous sampling but will often require additional assumptions and auxiliary data (e.g. relative abundance indices). The models shown here were designed for terrestrial species with continuous patterns of natal dispersal and high year‐to‐year site fidelity but could be extended to other species.

AbstractPartisans are divided on policing policy, which may affect officer behavior. We merge rosters from 99 of the 100 largest local U.S. agencies—over one third of local law enforcement agents nationwide—with voter files to study police partisanship. Police skew more Republican than their jurisdictions, with notable exceptions. Using fine‐grained data in Chicago and Houston, we compare behavior of Democratic and Republican officers facing common circumstances. We find minimal partisan differences after correcting for multiple comparisons. But consistent with prior work, we find Black and Hispanic officers make fewer stops and arrests in Chicago, and Black officers use force less often in both cities. Comparing same‐race partisans, we find White Democrats make more violent crime arrests than White Republicans in Chicago. Our results suggest that despite Republicans' preference for more punitive law enforcement policy and their overrepresentation in policing, partisan divisions often do not translate into detectable differences in on‐the‐ground enforcement.
The Inevitability of Leaving and the Impossibility of Staying Away: Rural Youth Migration in Flores, Indonesia
Authors: Clendenning Jessica N. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis paper examines why, despite greater numbers of youth out‐migration, connections to rural land remain strong for young people in a remote farming village on Flores Island, Indonesia. Following recent geographic work on the development of rural young people's aspirations and how the imaginings of “elsewhere” support navigational practices, I explore how rural young people migrate to pursue their aspirations that lay well outside of a farming village. Drawing on household survey data and the life experiences of young and middle generations moving between a rural village and Indonesian cities, I show why many migrate, and why many have retuned, or plan to return, to the village. Their reflections share a common narrative: that the livelihood limitations present in the village made it inevitable young people would leave, while the relative social and economic security of land, along with kin ties, make it seemingly impossible not to return.
The Expert Epistemology of Climate Finance: Re‐Visiting the Depoliticisation Critique
Authors: Barnes Jonathan 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe response to climate change is orchestrated by international organisations, reflecting the global challenge and collaborative response. There is an established critique that this process is depoliticised—where institutions, policies, and practices foreclose contestation. This paper explores the downstream effects of this, where global knowledge practices intersect with national climate change planning. I nuance the concept of depoliticisation, drawing on the South African experience with the Green Climate Fund. I argue that there is an urgency framing, underlaid by scientific and financial rationales, which is willingly enacted by domestic actors. This limits the scope and participation in climate finance, empowering unevenly, rather than voiding politics. These effects are demonstrated by bringing together the depoliticisation literature with civic epistemology, to clarify how the epistemic geography of climate change in South Africa formulates, contests, and deploys knowledge. Re‐politicisation is evident within the limits of urgency which is missed in depoliticisation literature.

ABSTRACTTetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside (TSG), which is the primary active substance of Chinese herbal medicine called Polygonum multiflorum, has been acknowledged to alleviate Alzheimer's disease (AD)‐induced learning disorder in the transgene mice. Because the microglia activation is really important during the AD progression, herein, we determined the effects of TSG on AD neuropathology, microglia polarization and its underlying mechanism. We used APP/PS1 mice along with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques to evaluate the function of TSG as 60, 120 and 180 mg/kg on Aβ deposition, neuronal loss and microglia polarization induced by AD. Additionally, we assessed the effects of TSG on TREM2 signalling using both molecular docking and Western blot analysis. TSG was found to promote neuronal survival and decrease Aβ deposition in APP/PS1 mice. Moreover, TSG reduced microglia M1 polarization and modulated the TREM2/PI3K/AKT signalling pathways. TSG could reduce neuronal impairment by mediating the microglia polarization by TREM2/PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in APP/PS1 mice and is a latent pharmacological research direction for the therapy in the patients with AD.

ABSTRACTAs the global urgency for environmental sustainability intensifies, leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping eco‐friendly behaviors within organizations and beyond. This study examines the role of green inclusive leadership (GIL) in fostering pro‐environmental behaviors within the hospitality industry, utilizing the ability, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) theory as a conceptual framework to explain how GIL influences sustainable behaviors. The study highlights AMO as a theoretical model that outlines how AMO can drive organizational success, while addressing motivation as a practical driver of employee behavior. Time‐lagged data were gathered from hotel employees and managers in Pakistan. The findings demonstrate that GIL positively affects employees' voluntary green behaviors both at work and in their personal lives. This relationship is mediated by a green work climate and environmental commitment, highlighting the spillover effect from workplace behaviors to daily life. The originality of this work lies in its novel application of AMO theory beyond the workplace, offering insights into how leadership can inspire sustainable actions that extend beyond organizational boundaries, especially in a high‐impact sector like hospitality.
The Role of Controllability and Foreseeability in Children's Counterfactual Emotions
Authors: Jones Alicia K. , Gautam Shalini , Redshaw Jonathan 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTCounterfactual emotions such as regret may aid future decision‐making by encouraging people to focus on controllable features of personal past events. However, it remains unclear when children begin to preferentially focus on controllable features of such events. Across two studies, Australian 4–9‐year‐olds (N = 336, 168 females; data collected during 2021–2022) completed tasks that led to positive or negative personal outcomes, and then reported their emotions toward different aspects of these tasks. In both studies, younger children unexpectedly reported stronger sadness toward uncontrollable or unforeseeable aspects of negative events, and only by 8–9 years did many children report stronger sadness toward controllable or foreseeable aspects. The tendency to focus on more functional counterfactuals may therefore emerge relatively late in development.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveIn this update of a previous systematic review, we compared the effects of surgical and non‐surgical treatments for peri‐implantitis through the component network meta‐analysis (CNMA) with probing depth (PD) reduction as the outcome.Materials and MethodsLiterature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases from August 2010 to June 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), comparing non‐surgical or surgical treatments for peri‐implantitis with 6–12 months of follow‐up and reported changes in PD, were included. Treatment effects were assessed using a CNMA model based on additivity assumption. We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to adjust the standard errors for multiple implants within the same patient.ResultsOur systematic review identified 44 RCTs, which included 46 treatment regimens consisting of 15 components. These RCTs formed a disconnected network consisting of 11 subnetworks. Surgical treatments with bone grafts and membranes generally attained greater PD reduction than non‐surgical treatments, although bone grafts and membranes as components provided moderate benefits. The effect size of antibiotics is greater in non‐surgical than surgical treatments, while there is considerable uncertainty regarding the effect size of implantoplasty. Additionally, the effectiveness of components varied between surgical and non‐surgical treatments.ConclusionCurrent evidence does not yield sufficiently robust estimates for identifying optimal surgical and non‐surgical treatment regimens for peri‐implantitis, so the findings of our study should be interpreted cautiously. A coordinated strategy is required for designing future trials to fill the gaps in our current knowledge and develop more reliable recommendations.
Dynamicity Predicts Inferred Temporal Order in Complex Sentences: Evidence from English, German, and Polish
Authors: Marx Elena , Iwan Oliwia , Wittenberg Eva 
Published: February 2025

AbstractTo build an accurate mental model of complex situations, people infer temporal order from sometimes underspecified linguistic information. The basis on which these inferences are drawn is an open question. While previous literature has focused on the role of linguistic structure and discourse pragmatic strategies as important contributors to temporal inferences, here we argue that, under uncertainty, people also use the dynamic properties of the described situations to derive temporal order from language. In three pre‐registered studies using English, German, and Polish, adult participants used toys to act out complex situations described by main clause‐relative clause structures. We consistently find that non‐dynamic state descriptions are temporally ordered first, if the other clause describes a dynamic event. This pattern arises independently of whether dynamicity differences are lexically encoded, like in English or German, or grammatically encoded, like in Polish. More generally, our findings address an important gap in the discussion on the role of eventuality type for temporal inference. While there is substantial research on the significance of telicity and durativity, a third, much more overlooked feature is dynamicity, a concept rooted in event perception, not language. Our results therefore provide a crucial thread to closely weave together language comprehension and event cognition.
