Making a living and zoonotic disease risk management in coloured broiler poultry farms in Northern Viet Nam
Authors: Houghton Eve , Nguyen Khue Thi Minh , Syndicus Ivo , Nguyen Dien Thi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper asks what influences farmers’ adherence to national and international zoonotic disease intervention efforts and argues that development and promotion of biosecurity interventions must take into account the economic and social context informing how livestock sectors operate and how those who work in them are making a living. Specifically, we explore how poultry farms in Viet Nam are managed amidst global efforts to combat disease and national ambitions to sustain growth. The growth of Viet Nam’s livestock sector has been accompanied by a range of disease outbreaks that have caused the deaths of animals and humans, threatened businesses, and led to the introduction and ongoing revisions to biosecurity efforts. Despite a strict national (and international) agenda focusing on disease control through biosecurity strategies, on farms disease management is implemented in various ways and to varying degrees. Based on fieldwork in three provinces of Northern Viet Nam and in-depth interviews with actors working on farms and across the commercial poultry sector, we reflect on social, financial and political factors shaping the country’s biosecurity narratives and discuss key practices farming households engage in that influence their disease management efforts. Our findings reveal that strict adherence to biosecurity guidelines is often practically unfeasible for commercial poultry farming households to implement where zoonotic diseases are not a concern related to bird and human health so much as a potential risk to a household’s living, that exists among a range of diverse opportunities and uncertainties shaping farming operations in Viet Nam’s changing livestock sector.
Utah producers and soil health: digging deeper
Authors: Petrzelka Peggy , Ulrich-Schad Jessica D. , Yost Matt 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
While the importance of soil health has been widely documented in certain areas of the U.S., such as the Midwest and Great Plains, other agricultural lands and producers remain largely understudied regarding soil health, including those in the Intermountain West (IMW). In this field report, we dig deeper into differing viewpoints on soil health held by Utah producers, examining how those more and less open to soil health efforts compare in various ways. Using data from a 2024 mail and online survey of Utah producers, we focus on two questions in this exploratory work: (1) How do producers who are more open to soil health practices compare by characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors with those producers who are less open to such practices and (2) What support do those more open to improving soil health need to increase soil health efforts on their land? We find the producers are both similar in several ways but also differ in important ways. Digging deeper and parsing out producers based on their opinions, influences, and information sources as they relate to soil health provides some valuable insights for those doing research and outreach on soil health in the IMW.
Collaborative online international learning as a third space to improve students’ awareness of cybersecurity
Authors: Lui Alison , Womack Catharina , Orton Penny 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article critically evaluates the effects of the ACU Virtual Mobility (VM) Project Digital Information Security Course (DISC) programme on improving students’ awareness of cyber security skills, pre and post the educational intervention. Our selected VM tool is Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Building on a conceptual framework of COIL as a Third Space for teaching students from different countries, we show that COIL has a positive effect on glocalising cybersecurity. This enabled students to share their local experiences but work towards global solutions, since cybersecurity threats are global concerns. A cross-sectional survey design was used, with data collected using online questionnaires. The research was conducted at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), South Africa and at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), United Kingdom. Census sampling identified programme participants from DUT and LJMU, registered at the respective universities in 2024. Data were analysed statistically using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test of independence, One sample t-test and independent samples t-test. Results indicated that students reported cyber security as a high priority. This study confirms that students who are aware of cyber bullying have a greater ability to ensure their cyber security. An interesting finding was the difference between DUT and LJMU students on collaboration skills (M = 4.84, t=(48.301) 2.478, p = .017). The major contribution is the use of COIL as an educational intervention to increase students’ cyber security awareness and enrich their learning experiences. Educators should consider adopting COIL as a pedagogical tool to educate students on cybersecurity and AI. This project has policy impact on social mobility and educational policies of the UK. We provide evidence to the ongoing dialogue in South Africa regarding student mobility and a stronger emphasis on short-term virtual mobility exchanges. This study focused on students who participated in the ACU virtual mobility project, DISC; therefore, the results may not be generalised to other projects of a similar nature. This study does not consider the long-term effects of this intervention on increasing cyber security awareness because it was of a cross-sectional design.
Child Emotional Characteristics as Predictors of Informant Disagreement in Oppositional Defiant Symptomatology
Authors: González-Lorza Andrea , Navarro José-Blas , Ezpeleta Lourdes , Osa Nuria de la 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The present study examines the disagreement between parents and teachers on the Oppositional Defiant Disorder Symptomatology (ODS) in children and how sociodemographic factors like gender and socio-economic status (SES); and emotional characteristics such as aggressiveness, temperament, callousness; anxious and depressive symptoms, and irritability may be predictors of this incongruence. A community sample of 614 3-year-old, followed up until age 14 (N = 287) was obtained from a longitudinal study that began in 2009. Parents and teachers completed an ODS scale and multiple questionnaires about child´s emotional difficulties. Analyses indicated that parent-teacher ratings were discrepant, and this disagreement diminished with age (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient = 0.12 to 0.69) with parents consistently reporting higher ODS scores compared to teachers across various ages. Predictors of parent-teacher disagreement on ODS were analyzed using polynomial regression with second and third order interactions. Results revealed that disagreement was higher when rating females, and for children belonging to low + low/medium or high SES groups. Lower ratings of aggressiveness, callousness and irritability, while higher scores of effortful control were significant predictors of higher parent-teacher ODS discrepancies. Research on how child affective variables influence multi-informant disagreement could lead to better clinical practice in addition to more accurate assessment and diagnosis in the infant-juvenile population.
Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of Analogous Synthetic Peptides from Anoplin, Temporin, and Aurein
Authors: Cruz Orozco Kevin , Ibarra Valencia Marco Antonio , Barrios Camacho Humberto , Corzo Burguete Gerardo , Arenas Sosa Iván 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction
The antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and hemolytic activities of five synthetic analogs of Anoplin, Temporin, and Aurein were evaluated.

Methods
Five peptides, varying in length from ten to thirteen amino acids, were chemically synthesized to preserve the physicochemical characteristics inherent to the original antimicrobial peptides. These characteristics included the hydrophobic ratio, Boman index, GRAVY, stability index, and aliphatic index, with the additional objective of enhancing their antimicrobial effectiveness.

Results
The most promising peptides were derived from Anoplin, particularly Anoplin_k1, which was identified as the most hydrophobic peptide with a net charge of + 2; however, it exhibited slightly increased hemolytic activity compared to the other four peptides. Anoplin_k1 demonstrated efficacy that was comparable to reference strains as well as against clinically isolated bacterial strains. The synthetic peptide Temporin ALk_k3, an analog of Temporin Alk, did not show antimicrobial activity above 100 µg/mL. Antibiofilm activity was evaluated against E. coli (K12), P. aeruginosa (PA01), and S. aureus (SH1000) reference strains.

Conclusions
The peptide demonstrating the most significant antibiofilm activity was Anoplin_k1 (≤ 64 µg/mL), whereas the Aurein derivatives exhibited reduced antibiofilm activity.
Interventions to Prevent Relapse or Recurrence of Preconception Anxiety and/or Depression in Perinatal Women: A Systematic Review
Authors: Rae Celia , McRae Rebecca , Holliday Elizabeth , Chojenta Catherine 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Women with preconception anxiety and/or depression experience high rates of relapse or recurrence of the disorders in the perinatal period. This review aimed to identify perinatal interventions that were designed to prevent relapse or recurrence in women with a history of anxiety and/or depression.

Methods
The review was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines. Six medical databases were searched with specific search strategies for each. The reference lists of literature reviews retrieved in this search were also screened, as well as the reference lists of reviews identified within these reviews. Additionally, the publications of the first authors of included studies were reviewed for relevant articles.

Results
There were 10 articles eligible for inclusion. These articles described pharmacological or dietary supplement interventions, as well as psychological and/or behavioural interventions. All identified studies focused on the prevention of recurrent depression, comprising four antenatal interventions and six postnatal interventions. No studies reporting interventions for the prevention of recurrent anxiety were identified.

Conclusions for Practice
Several published studies provided evidence supporting the use of prophylactic antidepressants and progesterone to prevent relapse or recurrence of depression, although studies were limited by small sample sizes and the potential for study bias. More recent and higher quality evidence exists for the role of mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy in the prevention of depressive relapse. Further exploration of relapse prevention strategies for women with preconception anxiety and/or depression is required, particularly for recurrent anxiety.
Modern Micropolitics of Antipopulism: Rethinking Discourse and Empathy
Authors: Séville Astrid 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In recent years, the debate on right-wing populism has led to numerous calls for the defense of liberal democracy, especially in Germany. The question of the extent to which liberal democracy depends on certain values, attitudes, and behavior has been raised from various sides. This article analyzes this public debate by focusing on publications that formulate recommendations for dealing with right-wing populists. These texts not only reflect on the possibilities and limits of rational debate between citizens but also promote an ideal of the good liberal democrat. The interventions can thus be understood as contemporary codes of conduct that contain elements of social and democratic theories and translate them into practical considerations. Ultimately, they represent a kind of self-undermining post-Habermasian discourse ethics.
LLMs, Truth, and Democracy: An Overview of Risks
Authors: Coeckelbergh Mark 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
While there are many public concerns about the impact of AI on truth and knowledge, especially when it comes to the widespread use of LLMs, there is not much systematic philosophical analysis of these problems and their political implications. This paper aims to assist this effort by providing an overview of some truth-related risks in which LLMs may play a role, including risks concerning hallucination and misinformation, epistemic agency and epistemic bubbles, bullshit and relativism, and epistemic anachronism and epistemic incest, and by offering arguments for why these problems are not only epistemic issues but also raise problems for democracy since they undermine its epistemic basis– especially if we assume democracy theories that go beyond minimalist views. I end with a short reflection on what can be done about these political-epistemic risks, pointing to education as one of the sites for change.

Abstract
In this work we present an experiment in which we injected microspheres at low pressure into a capacitively coupled argon plasma chamber. The setup was located in the top point of the Einstein-Elevator drop tower in Hannover, Germany, where the microparticles reached their equilibrium position above the lower electrode during

. During the fall, the trajectories of the microparticles, which were driven by the electric force, the neutral drag force and some residual gravitational force, were recorded. In addition, simulations of the plasma conditions were performed with commercial software to determine the microparticle charges via an orbital motion limit theory approach, taking into account the charge exchange in ion-neutral collisions. Based on the calculated position dependence of the microparticle charges and the electric force, the electric field present in the plasma sheath region was finally determined.
Beef, butter, and broth: cooking in 16th-century Sweden

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We present the organic residue analysis of sherds of 50 cooking vessels from the 16th-century town of Nya Lödöse, Sweden. We confirm previous analyses showing that lipids are absorbed by glazed ceramic. By analyses of biomarkers and compound-specific stable carbon isotope analyses of fatty acids, we show that pipkins and pans were used for cooking ruminant carcass products, dairy, and plant foods. The dominance of ruminant fat and dairy reflects the importance of oxen and butter in the local food culture. The vessels included in the present study show some degree of specialized function. Pipkins had more traces of ruminant carcass fats compared to pans. Medium and large-sized pipkins contained a combination of animal fats and plant traces, possibly representing the preparation of stews. In contrast, the smallest pipkins showed no traces of plant foods and might have been used to melt animal fat. Pans had more traces of butter and had been exposed to higher temperatures, indicating frying. Flat pans were, to a higher degree, used for the frying of fish than the deep ones, but fish seem nonetheless to be underrepresented in the lipid residue data. According to zooarchaeological and historical data, fish, pork, and poultry were important parts of the diet, but as traces of these foodstuffs are scarce in the organic residue analysis, it may be inferred that they were prepared differently—boiled in metal cauldrons, roasted on metal spits over the open fire, or consumed in their dried, salted, or smoked state without further preparation.
Short-term outcomes of low anterior resection with and without ileostomy for low, mid and upper rectal cancers

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Although the addition of an ileostomy to low anterior resection (LAR) may often be considered preventative of anastomotic leakage (AL), evidence that clearly demonstrates such benefit is lacking. This study aimed to identify the impact of adding an ileostomy upon AL and organ-space surgical site infection (SSI) rates in patients with lower, middle, or upper rectal cancer. This case–control study included rectal cancer patients who had undergone elective LAR in the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program dataset between 2016 and 2022. Patients with lower, middle, and upper tumors were identified and analyzed according to whether an ileostomy was added or not. Patients’ pre-, intra-, and short-term post-operative data were compared using univariable and multivariable methods. A total of 4048 patients (61.6% males) with a mean age of 60 years, whereof 1166 with lower, 1836 with middle, and 1046 with upper tumors were identified. An ileostomy was added in 2804 (69.3%) patients. Patients with upper tumors had an ileostomy added less frequently (78.5%vs 74.5% vs 49.9%, p < 0.001). The overall AL and organ-space SSI rates were 4.3% and 6.7%. There were no statistically significant differences in AL and organ-space SSI rates (requiring or not requiring re-intervention or re-operation) between patients with and without ileostomy regardless of tumor location. Multivariable logistic regression controlling for confounding variables showed no association between adding an ileostomy and AL and organ-space SSI rates (requiring or not requiring re-intervention or re-operation) regardless of tumor location. This case–control study did not find any evidence in support of a preventative impact upon AL and organ-space SSI rates of adding an ileostomy to LAR in patients with lower, middle, or upper rectal cancer.
Roles of Prostaglandins and Cyclooxygenases in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Kamal Datu Agasi Mohd , Abidin Shahidee Zainal , Saudi Wan Salman Wan , Kumar Jaya , Bellato Alessio 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Purpose of Review
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with multifaceted etiologies. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulation of prostaglandins and cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in ASD pathophysiology. This review aims to explore key mechanisms through which prostaglandins and COX enzymes may influence ASD.

Recent Findings
Recent research highlights significant roles for prostaglandins and COX enzymes in modulating Wnt (Wingless and Int-1) signalling pathways, which are known autism susceptibility pathways, as well as in regulating dendritic arborisation and cerebellar function. Polymorphisms in COX genes have also been linked to ASD, indicating a genetic component to this dysregulation. Furthermore, prostaglandins and COX enzymes show potential as biomarkers for ASD.

Summary
The accumulated evidence underscores the involvement of prostaglandins and COX enzymes in ASD pathophysiology. This insight offers a deeper understanding of the disorder and may pave the way for more effective diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Hepcidin peptide controls the inflammatory response induced by betanodavirus infection and improves European sea bass (Dicentrachus labrax) survival

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is the etiological agent of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy in many fish species, including European sea bass (Dicentrachus labrax) and is of great economic losses to fish farmers. To solve this problem in fish production, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified as potential candidates for NNV treatment in aquaculture. Hepcidin (Hamp) is one of the most promising AMPs. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic application of Hamp synthetic peptide after NNV challenge. Hamp was able to significantly increase survival rates and ameliorate clinical signs of the disease, though the viral levels, determined by viral replication and immunolocalization, were not affected. Synthetic Hamp increased the immunoglobulin M (IgM) and AMP protein levels in serum and some tissues respect to the levels found in NNV-infected fish. However, Hamp peptide decreased the NNV-induced bactericidal activity. At the gene level, Hamp exerted anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the pro-inflammatory response orchestrated by NNV, probably preventing neuronal damage. Apart from this, Hamp up-regulated the expression of adhesion molecules that facilitated the recruitment of immune cells, namely T helper and B cells, probably to orchestrate the adaptive response. To conclude, Hamp immunomodulatory properties and therapeutic application against NNV are very promising for its use in aquaculture.

Abstract

Purpose
This study compared the outcomes of haploidentical-related donor (HRD) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies.

Methods
Data on patients who underwent HRD HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (n = 41) and UCB HSCT (n = 24) after targeted busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning with intensive pharmacokinetic monitoring between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results
The median follow-up durations in the HRD and UCB groups were 7.0 and 10.9 years, respectively. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II–IV and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD did not differ significantly between the groups. However, the HRD group demonstrated significantly lower rates of acute GVHD grades III–IV (4.9% vs. 29.2%, p = 0.009) and non-relapse mortality (2.6% vs. 34.2%, p < 0.001) but a higher relapse incidence (32.1% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.004) than the UCB group. The 5-year event-free and overall survival rates were 65.8% and 54.2% (p = 0.204) and 78.0% and 65.7% (p = 0.142) for the HRD and UCB groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified disease status as a significant risk factor for overall survival (hazard ratio, 3.24; p = 0.016). Additionally, UCB HSCT exhibited a trend toward worse event-free survival compared to HRD HSCT (hazard ratio, 2.63; p = 0.05).

Conclusions
These findings indicate that HRD HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide provides promising outcomes compared to UCB HSCT in pediatric patients, with a trend toward improved survival over a long-term follow-up period exceeding a median of 7 years. Thus, HRD HSCT may be a valuable option for pediatric patients without human leukocyte antigen-matched donors.
