Institutional quality and emigration nexus: Empirical evidence from Türkiye
Authors: Akça Emrah Eray , Çelik Onur 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis study attempts to fill an important gap in the empirical literature by investigating the impact of institutional quality in destination countries on emigrants from Türkiye using bilateral migration data from 2010 through 2020. For this purpose, the study builds an augmented gravity model, including economic, geographic, and cultural variables in an exponential form and estimates it by the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) method. Empirical results significantly confirm the pulling role of strong institutions in destination countries for emigrants from Türkiye since all institutional quality indicators are positively associated with emigrant movements, albeit just one of them, regulatory quality, is statistically insignificant. Among indicators of institutional quality, the most pulling ones for emigrants are voice and accountability and the rule of law, followed by government effectiveness, control of corruption, and political stability and absence of violence, respectively. Overall results indicate that institutions are front‐line players in the emigrants' migration decision and destination choice process. In this context, policy‐makers in both Türkiye and the destination country may implement an institutional policy considering the outcomes stemming from migration movements.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundMalignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are common, and a third of them have underlying trapped lung (TL). Management of MPE and TL is suspected to be heterogeneous. Understanding current practices in Australasia is important in guiding policies and future research.AimsElectronic survey of Australia‐New Zealand respiratory physicians, thoracic surgeons and their respective trainees to determine practice of MPE and TL management.ResultsOf the 132 respondents, 56% were respiratory physicians, 23% were surgeons and 20% were trainees. Many respondents defined TL as >25% or any level of incomplete lung expansion; 75% would use large‐volume thoracentesis to determine whether TL was present. For patients with TL, indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) were the preferred treatment irrespective of prognosis. In those without TL, surgical pleurodesis was the most common choice if prognosis was >6 months, whereas IPC was the preferred option if survival was <3 months. Only 5% of respondents considered decortication having a definite role in TL, but 55% would consider it in select cases. Forty‐nine per cent of surgeons would not perform decortication when the lung does not fully expand intra‐operatively. Perceived advantages of IPCs were minimisation of hospital time, effusion re‐intervention and usefulness irrespective of TL status. Perceived disadvantages of IPCs were lack of suitable drainage care, potentially indefinite duration of catheter‐in‐situ and catheter complications.ConclusionThis survey highlights the lack of definition of TL and heterogeneity of MPE management in Australasia, especially for patients with expandable lungs. This survey also identified the main hurdles of IPC use that should be targeted.
Comparative analysis of pressure ulcer development in stroke patients within and outside healthcare facilities: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe risk of pressure ulcers in stroke patients is a significant concern, impacting their recovery and quality of life. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigate the prevalence and risk factors of pressure ulcers in stroke patients, comparing those in healthcare facilities with those in home‐based or non‐clinical environments. The study aims to elucidate how different care settings affect the development of pressure ulcers, serving as a crucial indicator of patient care quality and management across diverse healthcare contexts. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies on stroke patients in various settings, reporting on the incidence or prevalence of pressure ulcers. Exclusion criteria included non‐stroke patients, non‐original research and studies with incomplete data. The Newcastle–Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment, and statistical analyses involved both fixed‐effect and random‐effects models, depending on the heterogeneity observed. A total of 1542 articles were initially identified, with 11 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The studies exhibited significant heterogeneity, necessitating the use of a random‐effects model. The pooled prevalence of pressure injuries was 9.53% in patients without family medical services and 2.64% in patients with medical services. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of these results, and no significant publication bias was detected through funnel plot analysis and Egger's linear regression test. The meta‐analysis underscores the heightened risk of pressure injuries in stroke patients, especially post‐discharge. It calls for concerted efforts among healthcare providers, policymakers and caregivers to implement targeted strategies tailored to the specific needs of different care environments. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating interventions to effectively integrate into routine care and reduce the incidence of pressure injuries in stroke patients.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe complex structure of Ti/HA (HA: hydroxyapatite) implants prepared by additive manufacturing technology plays an essential role in its application in bone repair. Digital light processing (DLP) is widely used to prepare bioceramics with complex structures. However, it is a challenge to prepare Ti/HA biomaterials by DLP due to the high ultraviolet (UV) absorption of Ti powder. In the present work, TiH2 powder coated with a TiO2 layer is selected to reduce the UV absorption and improve the curing depth for DLP printed green bodies of TiO2@TiH2/HA, because the TiO2@TiH2 powder can be reduced by 12.7% compared to the TiH2 powder without any oxidation. Then, the shell layer of TiO2 undergoes dehydrogenation and reduction reaction with the core phase of TiH2 during the sintering process to transfer TiO2@TiH2/HA into TixOy@Ti/HA. In addition, the effects of HA content on compressive strength and biocompatibility are investigated in the TixOy@Ti/HA biomaterials. The results show that when adding 60 vol%HA, the maximum monolayer curing depth of the slurry reaches 90.1 ± 3.5 µm. 40%TixOy@Ti/60%HA shows the maximum effect in promoting the pre‐osteoblast differentiation and a relatively high compressive strength of 48.7 ± 3.5 MPa. This work provides an experimental basis for the preparation of ceramic–metal composites with high UV absorptivity using DLP.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAimThis study aims firstly to identify shifts in the execution of medical tasks by nurses in the past decade. Secondly, it aims to explore nurses' perspectives on task shifting: how they think task shifting affects the quality of care, the attractiveness of nursing practice and their collaboration with physicians.DesignA quantitative repeated cross‐sectional study.MethodsA nationwide survey was conducted among Dutch registered nurses (RNs) working in hospitals and home care, first in 2012 and again in 2022, with sample sizes of 359 and 362, respectively. Analyses were based on descriptive statistics and logistic and linear regressions.ResultsBetween 2012 and 2022, there was a significant increase in the execution of only one medical task by nurses, namely prescribing over‐the‐counter medication. The majority reported in both years that task shifting has positive impact on their professional autonomy and the attractiveness of nursing practice. However, most nurses also reported that task shifting increased their workload (72.7% in 2022) could lead to conflicts in care teams (20.9% in 2022 compared to 14.7% in 2012) and may cause physicians to feel threatened (32.8% in 2022 and 29.9% in 2012). There were no significant changes in nurses' perception of the impact of task shifting on quality of care, the attractiveness of nursing practice and the nurse–physician relationship.ConclusionThere was an increase in the execution of prescribing over‐the‐counter‐medication by nurses between 2012 and 2022. However, both in 2012 and in 2022, as the majority of nurses reported that task shifting increased their workload, there is reason to worry about this negative consequence of task shifting, e.g. with regard to labour market issues. Further research, also among the medical profession, is needed to better understand and address the implications of task shifting for the nursing profession.Implications for the ProfessionImplications for the nursing profession include potential scope expansion with complex tasks, attracting more individuals to nursing careers, although an eye must also be kept on what that means for the workload of nurses and the relationship with physicians.ImpactNurse prescribing medicines was more executed in 2022 compared to 2012. Nurses had a predominantly positive perspective on task shifting, but still felt it can cause conflicts in care teams, high workload and physicians feeling threatened. These results can help during implementation of task shifting and in monitoring the perceived effects of task shifting among nurses.Reporting MethodThis study followed the STROBE reporting guideline for cross‐sectional studies.Patient or Public ContributionNo Patient or Public Contribution. This study focussed on the task shifting (perspectives) of nurses.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAimTo describe the current state of the literature on nurses' and midwives' knowledge, perceptions and experiences of managing parental postnatal depression (PPND).DesignThe Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review method and the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews guided the work.Data SourcesA systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Scopus databases was conducted in January and February 2023.Review MethodsPeer‐reviewed primary research articles published in English between 2012 and 2023 that involved nurses or midwives managing PPND were included. Rayyan was used to screen titles, abstracts and full‐text articles. A spreadsheet was used to organize extracted data and synthesize results.ResultsTwenty‐nine articles met the inclusion criteria. Most study samples were of mothers, and few were from middle‐ and lower‐income countries. Nurses and midwives lacked knowledge about PPND, yet they felt responsible for its management. Nurses and midwives faced significant organizational and systems‐level challenges in managing PPND. However, nurses and midwives facilitated PPND care in collaboration with other healthcare providers.ConclusionThe review highlights significant gaps in the nurses' and midwives' care of PPND. Educational programmes are necessary to increase nurse and midwife knowledge of PPND and strategies for its management, including facilitating collaboration across the healthcare system and eliminating organizational and systemic‐related barriers. Additional focused research is needed on nurses' and midwives' knowledge, perception of and experience with PPND beyond mothers, such as with fathers, sexually and gender‐minoritized parents and surrogate mothers. Finally, additional research is needed in middle‐ and lower‐income countries where nurses and midwives may face a higher burden of and unique cultural considerations in managing PPND.ImpactPPND can affect the parent's mental and physical health and relationship with their child. If left untreated, PPND can lead to long‐term consequences, including child developmental delays, behavioural problems and difficulties with parental–child attachment.Reporting MethodThis scoping review adheres to PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review method.Patient or Public ContributionThis research is a scoping review of published peer‐reviewed studies.

Published: April 2024

AbstractStaphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic zoonotic pathogen which secretes 24 different types of enterotoxins (SEs) and enterotoxin‐like (SEls) proteins. Classical enterotoxins (SEA–SEE) are responsible for >95% of food poisoning outbreaks, of which SEA alone is responsible for >75% of them. This study was undertaken to develop a sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for sensitive, specific, and quantitative detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins‐A in food. Optimization of sandwich ELISA was attempted in two ways: rabbit polyclonal anti‐SEA as a capture antibody and mouse monoclonal anti‐SEA as a detector antibody, and vice versa. In the optimization of sandwich ELISA, mouse monoclonal anti‐SEA as a capture antibody and rabbit polyclonal anti‐SEA as a detector antibody yielded the highest sensitivity of 0.5–0.75 ng mL−1. The developed assay was found to be highly specific and exhibited equivalent sensitivity to a commercial kit. The developed sandwich ELISA may be utilized for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin‐A in food as a cheap alternative to available commercial kits. The developed sandwich ELISA may be useful for microbiological quality assurance of foods, especially in resource‐limited developing countries.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACTIt is generally accepted that jasmonate‐ZIM domain (JAZ) repressors act to mediate jasmonate (JA) signaling via CORONATINE‐INSENSITIVE1 (COI1)‐mediated degradation. Here, we report a cryptic signaling cascade where a JAZ repressor, FvJAZ12, mediates multiple signaling inputs via phosphorylation‐modulated subcellular translocation rather than the COI1‐mediated degradation mechanism in strawberry (Fragaria vesca). FvJAZ12 acts to regulate flavor metabolism and defense response, and was found to be the target of FvMPK6, a mitogen‐activated protein kinase that is capable of responding to multiple signal stimuli. FvMPK6 phosphorylates FvJAZ12 at the amino acid residues S179 and T183 adjacent to the PY residues, thereby attenuating its nuclear accumulation and relieving its repression for FvMYC2, which acts to control the expression of lipoxygenase 3 (FvLOX3), an important gene involved in JA biosynthesis and a diverse array of cellular metabolisms. Our data reveal a previously unreported mechanism for JA signaling and decipher a signaling cascade that links multiple signaling inputs with fruit trait development.

AbstractBackgroundMicronized acellular dermal matrix (mADM) can induce tissue regeneration and repair, and filling.ObjectivesThe efficacy and safety of (mADM) were evaluated in the treatment of atrophic acne scar.MethodsIn this single‐blinded, self‐controlled, split‐face study, 16 patients (48 scar sites) were divided into treatment group (24 scar sites) and control group (24 scar sites). One side of the affected area was treated with mADM combined with platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection as the treatment group; the other side of the affected area was treated with PRP injection as the control group. The efficacy was evaluated by the Acne scar assessment scale (ASAS) and Acne Scar Weight Rating Scale (ECCA) 3 months after treatment.ResultsAfter 3‐month treatment in 16 patients, the atrophic acne scars in both groups were all improved. The ASAS score and ECCA weight score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (2.50 ± 0.51 vs. 3.62 ± 0.77 and 14.17 ± 10.18 vs. 31.88 ± 13.25; p < 0.001).LimitationsShort‐term 3‐month treatment period. Small sample size limits generalizability of results.ConclusionThe curative effect of mADM combined with PRP is significantly better than that of PRP alone.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causing maize (Zea mays L.) seedling soft rot disease, an emerging threat to maize crop
Authors: Heidari Maede , Aeini Milad 
Published: April 2024

AbstractMaize (Zea mays L.) is a widely cultivated monoecious plant, making it vulnerable to seedling soft rot, a significant disease that results in substantial global losses. During the 2020–2021, various regions of Iran reported a series of symptoms, which included seedling stunting, the browning, and rotting of roots and crowns, and post‐emergence dieback. To identify the causal agent of this disease, a total number of 70 symptomatic samples were collected, yielding 117 bacterial strains. These bacterial isolates exhibited small, circular, raised colonies with a yellow pigment on yeast‐extract peptone glucose agar (YPGA) medium, 48 h post inoculation (hpi). Identification of the putative pathogen as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (formerly known as Xanthomonas maltophilia) was based on colony morphology, biochemical features, amplification of the species‐specific SmeT gene and nucleotide sequences of the gyrB gene. Koch's postulates were completed by inoculating maize seedlings with bacterial suspensions (107 CFU/mL). Two weeks after inoculation, symptoms including decay in the lower part of the seedling, wilting and yellowing of leaves became apparent. Subsequently, the bacteria with typical colony morphology were re‐isolated from the crowns of the inoculated maize seedlings and identified as S. maltophilia. In addition, various plant species were tested to determine the host range of S. maltopilia. Sugarcane and sorghum exhibited complete collapse, while onion showed no symptoms. Other hosts displayed varying degrees of symptom severity. This study marks the first documented case of maize seedling rot caused by S. maltophilia. These findings offer valuable insights into the pathogenicity of the disease and its management implications.
Development of a multidimensional scale to measure organizational creative capabilities

Published: April 2024

AbstractAlthough the literature's case and longitudinal studies provide ample evidence of organizational routines that foster creative behaviors, it still lacks an integrative model of organizational creative capabilities (OCCs) and the quantitative evidence to validate such a model. This research is aimed at conceptualizing and developing a reliable and valid scale for OCCs. First, we define the OCC construct's domain by conducting an extensive literature review. We then generate a list of items for the five dimensions of OCCs through a qualitative study involving a group of 24 practitioners (Study 1a) and by surveying nine senior researchers (Study 1b). We refine the OCC scale using a sample of 269 responses collected in France and Canada (Study 2), and we conduct a first‐order confirmatory factor analysis (Study 3). Finally, we perform a second‐order confirmatory analysis (Study 4a) on samples of 220 responses collected mainly in the United States and Europe, generalize our results to a sample of 205 responses, and strengthen the predictive validity (Study 4b). Our results provide significant evidence that OCCs can be conceptualized around five dimensions: internal socialization routines, idea management routines, external openness routines, creative equipment routines, and internal agility routines. Furthermore, the research confirms the scale's good psychometric qualities, thus ensuring that researchers can be confident in the reliability of any future academic research design using the scale. We also validate the OCC scale's predictive validity by verifying that a five‐dimensional reflective scale with 16 indicators has a significant positive effect on the creative outcome. This OCC scale can be used by practitioners to better understand the organizational routines they have to develop in order to strengthen their organization's creativity. It also provides a way for longitudinal studies to observe how OCCs evolve over time.
Quantifying pigment content in crustose coralline algae using hyperspectral imaging: A case study with Tethysphytum antarcticum (Ross Sea, Antarctica)

Published: April 2024

AbstractCrustose coralline algae (CCA) are a highly diverse group of habitat‐forming, calcifying red macroalgae (Rhodophyta) with unique adaptations to diverse irradiance regimes. A distinctive CCA phenotype adaptation, which allows them to maximize photosynthetic performance in low light, is their content of a specific group of light‐harvesting pigments called phycobilins. In this study, we assessed the potential of noninvasive hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in the visible spectrum (400–800 nm) to describe the phenotypic variability in phycobilin content of an Antarctic coralline, Tethysphytum antarcticum (Hapalidiales), from two distinct locations. We validated our measurements with pigment extractions and spectrophotometry analysis, in addition to DNA barcoding using the psbA marker. Targeted spectral indices were developed and correlated with phycobilin content using linear mixed models (R2 = 0.64–0.7). Once applied to the HSI, the models revealed the distinct phycoerythrin spatial distribution in the two site‐specific CCA phenotypes, with thin and thick crusts, respectively. This study advances the capabilities of hyperspectral imaging as a tool to quantitatively study CCA pigmentation in relation to their phenotypic plasticity, which can be applied in laboratory studies and potentially in situ surveys using underwater hyperspectral imaging systems.
