Authors: Tahkol Didem , Öztürk Haney Meryem 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundNurses are in a unique position to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, and to prevent and intervene in climate change. Determining nursing students’ levels of attitudes and knowledge on this subject is important in determining the content of nursing education programs.ObjectivesTo determine the nursing students' attitudes towards sustainable development and their knowledge of climate change, and to identify determinants associated with these parameters.DesignA descriptive and correlational design was used.SettingsNational Student Nurses’ Association in Turkey.ParticipantsThe sample of study consisted of 481 nursing students who were members of the National Student Nurses’ Association.MethodsData were collected online with the descriptive characteristics’ questionnaire, the Attitudes Towards Sustainable Development Scale, and the Climate Change Knowledge Test. We used Mann‐Whitney U test, Kruskal‐Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis to analyze the data obtained from the scales.ResultsThe participants’ mean sustainable development attitude score was 82.61 ± 12.69 and mean climate change knowledge score was 6.47 ± 1.44. There was a relationship between the sustainable development attitude and the variables such as gender, grade, warning people around them to be sensitive about environmental pollution, following the news about environmental problems, taking precautions about sustainable development and climate change in daily life, and receiving education about sustainable development and climate change in the nursing education. There was a relationship between climate change knowledge and the variables such as gender, grade, membership in an environmental organization, method of keeping up with environmental issues, and receiving education on sustainable development and climate change in nursing education.ConclusionAlthough the students displayed favorable attitudes towards sustainable development at a good level, their knowledge of climate change was not adequate. Thus, we recommend that sustainable development and climate change issues should be integrated into nursing education curricula to improve students' attitudes towards and knowledge and awareness of sustainable development and climate change.

AbstractPurposeThe aim of this study was to describe the clinical presentation, histopathology, management, and outcome of nodular histiocytic iritis, an intraocular variant of nodular granulomatous episcleritis (NGE).MethodsA retrospective review of the medical records of five dogs with intraocular NGE‐type inflammation as diagnosed by histopathology.ResultsFour Border Collies and one crossbreed dog, aged 1.5–3.4 years (mean age 2.38 years). The clinical presentation was an extensive, raised, pale iris lesion of variable location. All cases were unilateral. The physical examination was normal. Complete blood count/serum biochemistry (n = 1) and thoracic radiography (n = 1) were normal. Ocular ultrasound (n = 2) was normal apart from increased iris thickness. Enucleation (n = 4) or excisional biopsy (iridectomy, n = 1) was performed because of suspected neoplasia. Following enucleation, the remaining, contralateral eye did not develop additional lesions (9 days–3.7 years follow‐up). There was no recurrence following sector iridectomy with 5 months topical 1% prednisolone acetate (3.9 years follow‐up). The histopathologic findings in all five cases indicated a focal histiocytic and lymphoplasmacytic anterior uveitis (iritis), similar to that seen in cases of NGE.ConclusionNodular histiocytic iritis presents as unilateral iris thickening in isolation and young Collies appear to be predisposed. The histopathological findings are similar to NGE. Although the clinical presentation resembles intraocular neoplasia, an inflammatory process should be considered, which may be amenable to medical management. Definitive diagnosis may be obtained by iris sampling.
Variability structure and heritability of germination timing in Capsella bursa‐pastoris (L.) Medik. (Shepherd's purse)

Published: December 2023

AbstractGermination variability enables weedy species to colonise disturbed habitats and is expected to evolve in response to changing selection pressures. The paucity of information about germination variability in weeds prompted a detailed study of this topic with two agricultural and two non‐agricultural populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris (Shepherd's purse). Variance in germination time was partitioned amongst and within populations, and amongst racemes and silicles within individual plant, and broad‐sense heritability (H2) was estimated. Agricultural populations exhibited a shorter and more uniform germination timing than non‐agricultural populations. However, differences amongst populations explained 7%–12% of the total variance, while differences amongst individuals and racemes accounted for approximately 40–54% and 10% of the total variance for germination time. For germination time, H2 = 0.4 when averaged across all time points, peaking at H2 = 0.7 at a time coinciding with the exponential phase of the germination curve. Maintaining predominantly intrapopulation variability in germination timing appears to be important for long‐term fitness in this species.
On the homotopy type of multipath complexes

AbstractA multipath in a directed graph is a disjoint union of paths. The multipath complex of a directed graph is the simplicial complex whose faces are the multipaths of . We compute Euler characteristics, and associated generating functions, of the multipath complexes of directed graphs from certain families, including transitive tournaments and complete bipartite graphs. We show that if is a linear graph, polygon, small grid or transitive tournament, then the homotopy type of the multipath complex of is always contractible or a wedge of spheres. We introduce a new technique for decomposing directed graphs into dynamical regions, which allows us to simplify the homotopy computations.
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma with heterologous rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation in the bone marrow
Authors: Scott Spencer , Hakima Laleh , Raff Evan 
Published: December 2023

We present a case of advanced well-differentiated liposarcoma transforming to dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the bone marrow.Our patient presented with 5 weeks of worsening flank pain. He was found to have profound leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and normocytic anemia. Imaging showed a dominant retrocaval mass concerning for viable disease. Bone marrow biopsy revealed dedifferentiated liposarcoma with heterologous rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. He underwent 3 cycles of eribulin and subsequently developed complications of his increasingly aggressive liposarcoma. He was transitioned to hospice care and died 3 months after initial bone marrow biopsy. While exceedingly rare, it is possible for liposarcoma to metastasize to the bone marrow and cause rapid progression to death. In patients with high-grade liposarcoma, new cytopenia, leukocytosis, elevated granulocyte colony stimulating factor, and/or leukoerythroblasosis on peripheral smear should prompt bone marrow biopsy for early detection of this rare disease entity.
Weight management communications in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: challenges and recommendations from the patients’ perspective
Authors: Abbott Sally , Denton Amanda , Wong Sui H , Mollan Susan P , Bul Kim CM 
Published: December 2023

BackgroundIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurometabolic condition severely impacting the quality of life of people living with IIH (PwIIH). Most PwIIH are overweight or live with obesity, and weight loss is recommended by healthcare professionals (HCPs) as it is central to disease management. There is currently no research evaluating patient–clinician interactions when discussing weight management in IIH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient experience of communication with HCPs regarding weight management from the perspective of PwIIH.MethodsA cross-sectional online survey was developed and distributed by the IIH UK charity via their mailing list and social media network. Eligible participants were adults with IIH who have been recommended to lose weight by their HCP. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise quantitative responses and content analysis was used to inductively draw out themes from open-ended free-text responses.ResultsThere were 625 respondents. One-fifth of PwIIH (n=127/603, 21%) felt that HCPs were supportive and empathetic about weight management. Five themes were identified on how experiences regarding weight management for IIH can be improved, with PwIIH recommending for HCPs to: (1) detail the relationship between IIH and weight, (2) individualise care, (3) give advice, (4) provide support and (5) adapt communication.ConclusionThe majority of PwIIH recalled a poor experience and negative emotions when engaged in discussions regarding weight management with their HCPs. Further research should explore the HCPs perspective and evaluate interventions aiming to improve the quality of patient–HCPs communication in IIH.

BackgroundBinary reversals (exemplified by ‘yes’/‘no’ confusions) have been described in patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) but their diagnostic value and phenotypic correlates have not been defined.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study analysing demographic, clinical, neuropsychological, linguistic and behavioural data from patients representing all major PPA syndromes (non-fluent/agrammatic variant, nfvPPA; logopenic variant, lvPPA; semantic variant, svPPA) and behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The prevalence of binary reversals and behavioural abnormalities, illness duration, parkinsonian features and neuropsychological test scores were compared between neurodegenerative syndromes, and the diagnostic predictive value of binary reversals was assessed using logistic regression.ResultsData were obtained for 83 patients (21 nfvPPA, 13 lvPPA, 22 svPPA, 27 bvFTD). Binary reversals occurred in all patients with nfvPPA, but significantly less frequently and later in lvPPA (54%), svPPA (9%) and bvFTD (44%). Patients with bvFTD with binary reversals had significantly more severe language (but not general executive or behavioural) deficits than those without reversals. Controlling for potentially confounding variables, binary reversals strongly predicted a diagnosis of nfvPPA over other syndromes.ConclusionsBinary reversals are a sensitive (though not specific) neurolinguistic feature of nfvPPA, and should suggest this diagnosis if present as a prominent early symptom.
Time off work following psychological injury among health and social care workers: a population-based retrospective cohort study in New South Wales, Australia
Authors: Gelaw Asmare Y , Sheehan Luke , Gray Shannon Elise , Collie Alex 
Published: December 2023

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the disability duration and burden of compensated time loss in the health and social care (HSC) sector following psychological injury.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the New South Wales workers’ compensation system. The median weeks disability duration and total weeks of working time lost (WWL) per 1000 workers were compared between the HSC sector and all other industries, and between specific occupational groups in the HSC sector, using accelerated failure time models.ResultsHSC workers had a median (IQR) disability duration of 12.4 (3.3–40.0) weeks, which was less than the 15.3 (4.3–48.3) weeks observed in other industries. Within the HSC sector, ambulance officers had the longest disability duration at 31.1 (6.1–104.0) weeks and highest WWL at 15 734 weeks per 1000 workers. Conversely, nurses and midwives had the shortest disability duration at 8.0 (2.0–25.8) weeks, while other healthcare workers had the lowest WWL (17.0). Controlling for other determinants, ambulance officers had the highest likelihood of longer disability duration (time ratio (TR) 2.14; 95% CI 1.64 to 2.78), followed by social workers (TR 1.46; 95% CI 1.20 to 1.79) and administrators and managers (TR 1.41; 95% CI 1.15 to 1.71). Older age, female sex, full-time employment and working in small organisations correlated with extended disability duration.ConclusionThere is considerable variation in the duration and burden of work disability due to psychological injury across occupational groups in the HSC sector. Findings suggest the need for occupation-specific workplace rehabilitation and psychological support to reduce the impact of psychological injury on HSC workers and improve return-to-work outcomes.

Published: December 2023

ObjectiveCabrol shunt has been introduced for surgical repair of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) without robust evidence supporting its routine preventive use.MethodsAdult patients with TAAD from China 5A study were included if surgically repaired between 2016 and 2022. Primary outcome was operative mortality according to Society of Thoracic Surgeons criterion. Overall, we compared clinical outcomes in patients with and without Cabrol shunt, and subgroup analysis were further examined between Cabrol shunt and outcome among patients with or without root replacement.Results3283 patients were finally identified for analysis, with median age of 51 (IQR 41–59) years, 2389 men, and 2201 treated with Cabrol shunt technique. Cabrol shunt-treated patients were more severely ill before surgery than those without Cabrol shunt. Overall, the rate of operative mortality was 6.6% (146/2201 in Cabrol shunt group and 71/1082 in non-Cabrol shunt group), with no association between Cabrol shunt and operative mortality (OR 1.012 (95% CI 0.754 to 1.357); p=0.938). Stratified by root replacement, Cabrol shunt was associated with similar risk of operative mortality either in patients without root replacement (OR 1.054 (0.747 to 1.487); p=0.764) or in patients with root replacement (OR 1.194 (0.563 to 2.536); p=0.644) (P interaction=0.765). Results were similar in multiple sensitivity analysis.ConclusionCabrol shunt was not associated with either a greatly lowered or an increased risk of operative mortality, regardless of aortic root replacement. Our study did not support the use of Cabrol shunt as a routine preventive strategy in the treatment of TAAD.Trial registration numberNCT04398992
A Hollow Enterprise: International Criminal Justice and Public Relations
Authors: Kotecha Birju 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Utilising a framework inspired by Edward Bernays, this article critiques public relations in international criminal justice. The article demonstrates public relations is a hollow enterprise comprised of one-way publicity and legitimation. Outreach and public information campaigns are endeavours reliant on standard messaging tactics that treat constituencies as uncritical and homogenous consumers. Such tactics reflect a deep and entrenched turn to marketing and image-management. Whilst such a turn may be inevitable, tribunals such as International Criminal Court need to establish meaningful relations with the public, developed through listening and a commitment to mutual co-learning that, in turn, can drive organisational improvements. In its absence, public relations is a mere exercise in presentation and will continue to lack significance in the contemporary information landscape
Muslim-Christian and Missiological Discourses on Cultural Identity in Maluku, Eastern Indonesia
Authors: Gaspersz Steve Gerardo Christoffel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article is an imaginary dialogue that is critical of the thoughts of Arnold N. Radjawane, theologian and pastor of the Protestant Church of Maluku (GPM). This is shown in one of the articles he wrote in the 1960s. For some Muslim clerics in Maluku, the article reveals the idea of Christianization through local culture in Maluku, which they believe had hardened Christian-Muslim cultural relations in Maluku. By utilizing hermeneutic and cultural studies, I will analyze the construction of ethnic and religious identity ideas that are affected by his theological ideas. I apply a contemporary mission perspective that dialectically places Christian-Muslim relations as a form of identity negotiation, which has implications for strengthening cultural dialogue and encourages contextual theological processes for the establishment of human relations in Maluku and Indonesia as a multicultural society.
Not by Words Alone: Early Holocaust Graphic Narratives as a “Minor Art”
Authors: Perry Rachel E. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Immediately after the Holocaust, scores of Jewish survivors created graphic narratives, in word and image, about their individual and collective wartime experiences under Nazi oppression. This essay will make a case for these early postwar works as a “minor art.” “Minor” captures the material characteristics of this low-capital, low-circulation printed matter: slight in weight, small in size, modest in price, and ephemeral in quality. It also describes their “poor” images that pull, in form and structure, from popular culture (comics, cartoons, illustrated books) on the margins of modernist concerns (composite image-texts relying on narrative storytelling). Borrowing from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of “minor literature” as a deterritorialized, political, collective utterance, I argue that disciplinary notions of “art” and “testimony” have prevented us from seeing this “minor art” and recognizing how its vernacular, amateur art practices allowed survivors to reconstruct the past, remember communities and identities erased, and reclaim their own narratives of persecution. Created by a minority (a decimated Jewish community) working on the peripheries of the art world, they tell a Jewish story using Jewish frames of reference to create a community outside of majoritarian culture. What is at stake in them is not only a poetics of recollection but a politics of representation: of seeing with Jews as a critical act by dominated persons against the dominant, antifascist master narrative of WWII and the primary media of its dissemination, photography and film. Ultimately, this “minor art” can have major implications for both how we understand the crucial first decade of survivor initiatives and how we write our histories of Jewish art.
A New Graphic Novel on the History of International Law as a Powerful Tool to Disseminate Widely the Topic
Authors: Vitucci Maria Chiara 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper analyses the graphic novel Une histoire du droit international. De Salamanque à Guantanamo, the storyboard of which was created by two professors of international law. The review essay focuses on the content of the graphic novel and its peculiarities in narrating the history of international law, comparing the volume with other monographs and scientific articles on the same topic. The intended wide audience of the book may help in understanding the chronological approach taken by the authors among other possible approaches to the history of international law, such as a thematic or a postcolonial approach.

Abstract
Species richness, abundance, diversity, and distribution of rodents and shrews along altitudinal gradients in the Simien mountains national park, Ethiopia, were studied using Sherman traps. Rodents and shrews were trapped at four altitudinal ranges (2,800 m a.s.l., 3,200 m a.s.l., 3,600 m a.s.l. and 4,000 m a.sl.). A total of 202 individuals were captured, comprising 184 rodents and 18 shrews. In total, there were eight species of rodents and one shrew species. The relative abundances of Lophuromys simensis and Stenocephalemys albipes were the highest in the early dry season, dry season, and wet season. The relative abundances of Desmomys harringitoni (7.43%), Dendromys lovati (4.46%), and Mus imberbis (1.98%) were the lowest across the study area. The highest species diversity was recorded at an altitude of 2,800 m a.s.l. (H’ = 1.82). Species composition of rodents and shrews found at altitudes of 2,800 m a.s.l. and 3,200 m a.s.l. were highly similar (Sij = 0.97363). In contrast, the least similar species composition was between altitudes of 2,800 m a.s.l. and 4,000 m a.s.l. (Sij = 0.15632). The abundance, distribution, and diversity of rodents and shrews were significantly correlated with altitude (p = 0.000). Species abundance, distribution, and diversity in the Simien Mountains National Park were significantly correlated with altitude (0.377) and habitat types (0.306). Species composition of small mammals varied among altitudes, seasons, and habitat types, with six rodents and one shrew species being endemic. Notably, the park is subjected to various environmental disturbances, such as fires, grazing, and agriculture, which can negatively impact these small mammals, particularly the endemic species.
Cultural Recognitions and Nostalgic Evocations: The Cinematic Experience of Costumbrist Films
Authors: Medina Marañón Nicolás 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article concentrates on costumbrist cinema, an approach to filmmaking characteristically concerned with the accurate representation of the customs, habits and cultural idiosyncrasies of a particular society or group of people. After defining and contextualizing the concept of costumbrismo, the article draws on Jean-Pierre Meunier’s modes of filmic identification to describe the experiential structure of costumbrist cinema, characterized by the existent or non-existent recognition of the specific cultural representations. Following this, the potentially evocative feature of costumbrist cinema is considered with regard to its nostalgic dimension. To conclude, Volver (Pedro Almodóvar, 2006), A Separation (Jodâyi-e Nâder az Simin, Asghar Farhadi 2011), Still Walking (Aruitemo aruitemo, Hirokazu Kore-eda 2008) and Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro felice, Alice Rohrwacher 2018) provide the basis on which to outline different approaches to cinematic costumbrismo and their functions within the film’s narration: (1) costumbrismo as narrative imperative; (2) extensive dimension; (3) cinematic contemplation and (4) costumbrist framework as subversive potential.
