“Things changed very quickly”: Maternal intentions and decision‐making about infant sleep surface, location, and position
Authors: Salm Ward Trina C. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIntroductionApproximately 3400 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the United States; many of these deaths include modifiable risk factors (such as a non‐supine position, sleeping on a soft surface, or loose bedding or items in the environment). Interventions have been successful at improving parental knowledge about recommendations to reduce risk of sleep‐related infant deaths, as well as improving intention to adopt recommendations. However, follow‐up studies have found a disconnect between knowledge/intentions to adhere to recommendations and actual practices. Exploring maternal decision‐making about infant sleep practices can better elucidate the disconnect between knowledge of infant sleep recommendations and the practice of it, and thus, inform more effective safe sleep interventions. The purpose of this study was to gain a more in‐depth understanding of decision‐making around infant sleep practices, and barriers and facilitators to adopting safe infant sleep recommendations.MethodsSemi‐structured in‐home interviews were conducted with 22 families (20 mothers and 2 mother–father dyads) of infants up to 6 months of age.ResultsThematic analysis of the transcripts revealed six themes: Plans changed when baby came, Trying things to figure out what works (infant preferences), Safety concerns, What's comfortable for me (maternal preferences), They say…(advice), and Trying to be careful.ConclusionThese results suggest that knowledge of infant sleep recommendations alone is not enough to ensure adherence and that decision‐making is a dynamic and ongoing process affected by multiple factors. Findings have implications for timing and content of risk reduction efforts, as well as for data collection in research studies.

AbstractBackgroundRecent innovations in temperature‐controlled cardiac transportation allow for static hypothermic preservation of transplant organs during transportation. We assessed differences in donor‐derived cell‐free DNA (dd‐cfDNA) using the SherpaPak cardiac transport system (SCTS) and traditional ice transportation.MethodsSingle‐organ heart transplant recipients between January 2020 and January 2022 were included if they had dd‐cfDNA measures ≤6 weeks post‐transplant along with the baseline biopsy at 6 weeks as part of the surveillance protocol and no biopsy‐confirmed rejection ≤90 days. Elevated dd‐cfDNA ≥.20% were compared between groups using logistic regression including a subject effect.ResultsOf 65 hearts transplanted, 30 were transported with SCTS and 35 on ice. Recipient characteristics were similar between groups. Donors in the SCTS group were older (34 vs. 40 years, p = .04) with a longer total ischemic time (171 vs. 212 min, p = .002). Recipients in the SCTS group had a greater risk of elevated dd‐cfDNA unadjusted and adjusted for donor age, and prolonged ischemic times > 3.5 h (Unadjusted odds ratio: 4.9, 95%‐CI: 1.08–22.5, p = .039 and Adjusted odds ratio: 5.5, 95%‐CI: 1.03–29.6, p = .046). Primary graft dysfunction rates and 1‐year mortality were comparable between groups.ConclusionElevated dd‐cfDNA in patients procured with SCTS may indicate that graft injury was not negated relative to ice transport. However, there were no clinical differences noted in short or long‐term outcomes including mortality despite a longer ischemic time in the SCTS group.

AbstractGastroparesis is a common complaint among patients with diabetes. Symptoms tend to improve following successful pancreas transplantation (PTx), but persist despite euglycemia in a subset of patients. We aimed to assess the benefit of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G‐POEM) in persistent gastroparesis following PTx. This was a single center retrospective review of all patients who underwent G‐POEM for persistent gastroparesis following PTx. Patient demographics, pre and post procedure perception of symptom severity according to the patient assessment of upper gastrointestinal symptoms severity index (PAGI‐SYM), gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (GCSI) score, and 36‐item short form survey (SF36) score along with gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) were analyzed. Seven PTx recipients underwent G‐POEM for persistent gastroparesis symptoms. The majority were female. All reported nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and post prandial fullness prior to G‐POEM. The post procedure survey scores improved in all patients although this was not significant. The improvement in gastric emptying on GES was statistically significant. G‐POEM is a relatively new treatment option for gastroparesis. While it requires specialized proceduralist and training, we have documented improvement in the management of symptoms. With increasing experience, we anticipate more significant benefit in post PTx patients with persistent symptoms of gastroparesis undergoing G‐POEM.

AbstractThe cnidom and intraspecific variability of cnidae within the small sea anemoneIsactiniasp. were verified. The specific cnidae within the cnidom of four discrete morphological structures (tentacle, actinopharynx, mesenterial filaments, and body column) withinIsactiniasp. was investigated. Microbasicb‐mastigophores, microbasicp‐mastigophores, basitrichs, microbasicp‐amastigophores, and spirocysts were found in this species. In addition, two morphologically distinct basitrich forms, distinguishable only in a discharged state, were also found, of which basitrichs with the distinctly shorter thread were found predominately only on the body column. The distribution and abundance of cnidae types differed significantly around the body in the sea anemones, as did the length of basitrichs and spirocysts among tissue types. Cnidae length also differed significantly among individuals. Correlations between cnidae length and sea anemone size were variable, whereby cnidae size was significantly negatively correlated to sea anemone size in seven cnidae–tissue combinations, positively correlated in one, and not correlated in two. Linear regression revealed that sea anemone size was able to explain 33%–68% of variation in size ofb‐mastigophores,p‐amastigophores, and small basitrichs from within the mesenterial filaments. Correlations were negligible or not significant in remaining cnidae–tissue combinations, however. While providing key taxonomic cnidae information, this study also highlights the variability of cnidae that may occur within a species ofIsactinia.
BROWN*
Authors: BARTLESON C. JAMES 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTExperimental data are presented to examine the questions: (a) what is brown? and (b) is brown unique? Direct scaling techniques have been used to derive psycho‐sensorial relations among the attributes of color that may be used to define the perception “brown” for stimuli presented in the surface mode of appearance. Brown is shown to be a three‐dimensional color as distinct from a one‐dimensional hue perception. The conditions necessary to elicit a brown response may be specified according to relationships among three dimensions of color, and not less than three. Brown is shown not to have the same property of uniqueness associated with the unitary hues red. green, blue, and yellow. The question relating to the possible uniqueness of brown as a three‐dimensional color is not answered in a definitive sense. It is clear, however, that care should be used to distinguish between hue‐names and color‐names.

AbstractBackgroundAuthentic leadership and empowered nurses are necessary if a healthy work environment is to be created and patient safety maintained; however, few studies have examined the impact of authentic leadership, on nurse empowerment and the patient safety climate.PurposeThe aim of the study was to investigate the impact of an educational intervention delivered through a multi‐faceted training programme on nurses' perceptions of authentic leadership, nurse empowerment (both structural and psychological) and the patient safety climate.DesignA quasi‐experimental study using a one‐group pretest–posttest design consistent with TREND guidelines.MethodsThe study was conducted in a university hospital between December 2018 and January 2020. Participants were followed for 6 months. The programme involved 36 head nurses (leaders) and 153 nurses (followers). The effectiveness of the programme was evaluated using repeated measures of analysis of variance, dependent sample t‐tests and hierarchical regression analysis.ResultsFollowing the intervention, safety climate and authentic leadership scores increased among both leaders and followers. Structural and psychological empowerment scores also increased among followers. We found that authentic leadership and structural empowerment were predictors of safety climate.ConclusionThe implementation of the education programme resulted in positive changes in participants' perceptions of authentic leadership and empowerment, which can enhance patient safety.ImplicationsHealthcare organizations can implement similar multi‐faceted training programmes focused on authentic leadership, and nurse empowerment to increase patient safety. Achieving effective results in such programmes can be facilitated by motivating participants with the support of the top management.Patient or Public ContributionThe study included nurses in the intervention and the data collection processes.Impact

Patient safety is a global concern, and improving patient safety culture/climate is a key strategy in preventing harm.

Authentic leadership and nurse empowerment are essential in creating healthy work environments and delivering safe, high‐quality care.

Training programmes addressing these issues can help bring about improvements in healthcare organizations.

AbstractBackgroundProgramed ventricular stimulation (PVS) is a risk stratification tool in patients at risk for adverse arrhythmia outcomes. Patients with negative PVS may yet be at risk for adverse arrhythmia‐related events, particularly in the presence of symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias (VA).ObjectiveTo investigate the long‐term outcomes of real‐world patients with symptomatic VA without indication for device therapy and negative PVS, and to examine the role of cardiac scaring on arrhythmia recurrence.MethodsPatients with symptomatic VA, and late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE‐CMR), and negative PVS testing were included. All patients underwent placement of implantable cardiac monitors (ICM). Survival analysis was performed to investigate the impact of LGE‐CMR findings on survival free from adverse arrhythmic events.ResultsSeventy‐eight patients were included (age 60 ± 14 years, women n = 36 (46%), ejection fraction 57 ± 9%, cardiomyopathy n = 26 (33%), mitral valve prolapse [MVP] n = 9 (12%), positive LGE‐CMR scar n = 49 (62%), history of syncope n = 23 (29%)) including patients with primarily premature ventricular contractions (n = 21) or nonsustained VA (n = 57). Patients were followed for 1.6 ± 1.5 years during which 14 patients (18%) experienced VA requiring treatment (n = 14) or syncope due to bradycardia (n = 2). Four/9 patients (44%) with MVP experienced VA (n = 3) or syncope (n = 1). Baseline characteristics between those with and without adverse events were similar (p > 0.05); however, the presence of cardiac scar on LGE‐CMR was independently associated with an increased risk of adverse events (hazard ratio: 5.6 95% confidence interval: [1.2–27], p = 0.03, log‐rank p = 0.03).ConclusionsIn a real‐world cohort with long‐term follow‐up, adverse arrhythmic outcomes occurred in 18% of patients with symptomatic VA despite negative PVS, and this risk was significantly greater in patients with positive DE‐CMR scar. Long term‐monitoring, including the use of ICM, may be appropriate in these patients.

AbstractAimIn this study, we developed a non‐face‐to‐face forest therapy program using videos and applied it to nurses working in hospitals during the prolonged COVID‐19 situation to confirm the effect on their mental health.MethodThis study was a randomized control group pretest‐posttest, and 27 clinical nurses in the experimental group and 28 clinical nurses in the control group participated. The program developed forest therapy videos and three city videos each. The experimental group watched the forest therapy video and the control group watched the city video and stress and happiness were measured through pre‐test and post‐test.ResultsThe stress level of clinical nurses who applied the non‐face‐to‐face forest therapy program had a significant reduction effect compared to the control group on day 2 (t = −2.239 P = .026) and day 3 (t = −3.188, P = .003). On the other hand, there was no significant effect in happiness in both groups. In addition, repeated measures analysis of variance statistical analysis confirmed that the stress level of the experimental group significantly decreased over time (F = 10.578, P < .001).ConclusionThe non‐face‐to‐face forest therapy program is significant in that it had a positive effect on relieving stress by conducting a randomized controlled study targeting clinical nurses working in various hospitals.

AbstractThe commercially important Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), a large migratory fish, has experienced notable recovery aided by accurate resource assessment and effective fisheries management efforts. Traditionally, this species has been perceived as consisting of eastern and western populations, spawning respectively in the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with mixing occurring throughout the Atlantic. However, recent studies have challenged this assumption by revealing weak genetic differentiation and identifying a previously unknown spawning ground in the Slope Sea used by Atlantic bluefin tuna of uncertain origin. To further understand the current and past population structure and connectivity of Atlantic bluefin tuna, we have assembled a unique dataset including thousands of genome‐wide single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 500 larvae, young of the year and spawning adult samples covering the three spawning grounds and including individuals of other Thunnus species. Our analyses support two weakly differentiated but demographically connected ancestral populations that interbreed in the Slope Sea. Moreover, we also identified signatures of introgression from albacore (Thunnus alalunga) into the Atlantic bluefin tuna genome, exhibiting varied frequencies across spawning areas, indicating strong gene flow from the Mediterranean Sea towards the Slope Sea. We hypothesize that the observed genetic differentiation may be attributed to increased gene flow caused by a recent intensification of westward migration by the eastern population, which could have implications for the genetic diversity and conservation of western populations. Future conservation efforts should consider these findings to address potential genetic homogenization in the species.

AbstractGreen tea made from albino buds and leaves has a strong umami taste and aroma. The cultivar ‘Zhonghuang 2’ (ZH2, Camellia sinensis) is a natural mutant with young shoots that are yellow in spring and green or yellow‐green in summer. However, the mechanism of leaf color change remains unclear. Here, we found that young shoots of ZH2 were yellow at low temperature (LT) and green at high temperature (HT), indicating that ZH2 is a temperature‐sensitive cultivar. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the grana in the chloroplasts of young shoots grown at LT were poorly stacked, which caused a lack of photoreactions and chlorophyll. RNA‐seq results showed 1279 genes differentially expressed in the young shoots grown at LT compared with those at HT, including genes related to cytochrome synthesis, chloroplast development, photosynthesis, and DNA methylation. A whole‐genome bisulfite sequencing assay revealed that the dynamics of DNA methylation levels in the CG, CHG, and CHH contexts decreased under LT, and the change was most obvious in the CHH context. Furthermore, 72 genes showed significant changes in both expression and DNA methylation levels, and most of them were related to cytochrome synthesis, chloroplast development, photosynthesis, transcription factors, and signaling pathways. These results demonstrate that DNA methylation is involved in the LT‐regulated albino processes of ZH2. Changes in DNA methylation levels were associated with changes in gene expression levels, affecting the structure and function of chloroplasts, which may have a phenotypic impact on shoot and leaf color.

AbstractThe locus coeruleus‐norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system, which regulates arousal levels, is important for cognitive control, including emotional conflict resolution. Additionally, the LC‐NE system is implicated in P300 generation. If the P300 is mediated by the LC‐NE system, and considering the established correlations between LC activity and pupil dilation, P300 amplitude should correlate with task‐evoked (phasic) pupil dilation on a trial‐by‐trial basis. However, prior studies, predominantly utilizing oddball‐type paradigms, have not demonstrated correlations between concurrently recorded task‐evoked pupil dilation and P300 responses. Using a recently developed emotional face‐word Stroop task that links pupil dilation to the LC‐NE system, here, we examined both intra‐ and inter‐individual correlations between task‐evoked pupil dilation and P300 amplitude. We found that lower accuracy, slower reaction times, and larger task‐evoked pupil dilation were obtained in the incongruent compared to the congruent condition. Furthermore, we observed intra‐individual correlations between task‐evoked pupil dilation and P300 amplitude, with larger pupil dilation correlating with a greater P300 amplitude. In contrast, pupil dilation did not exhibit consistent correlations with N450 and N170 amplitudes. Baseline (tonic) pupil size also showed correlations with P300 and N170 amplitudes, with smaller pupil size corresponding to larger amplitude. Moreover, inter‐individual differences in task‐evoked pupil dilation between the congruent and incongruent conditions correlated with differences in reaction time and P300 amplitude, though these effects only approached significance. To summarize, our study provides evidence for a connection between task‐evoked pupil dilation and P300 amplitude at the single‐trial level, suggesting the involvement of the LC‐NE system in P300 generation.
Risk aversion and public sector employment
Authors: Chang Ahrum 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study examines whether public sector workers are more risk averse than those in the private sector and, if so, whether risk‐averse individuals self‐select themselves into the public sector or public employees become more risk averse during their career. Drawing on portfolio theory that individuals assemble their asset portfolio that maximizes expected return within an acceptable level of risk, this study analyzes 6276 South Korean employees' portfolio selection behaviors from 2000 to 2017. Findings show that public employees are likely to hold safer assets while those in the private sector tend to own riskier assets. Such behavioral heterogeneity is witnessed at the time of their first entrance into each sector and remains constant over their career. These results indicate that public employees' risk aversion is primarily a consequence of their self‐selection, but their sector affiliation also plays a role in sustaining their risk aversion.
Entheogens: Psychedelic religion in the United States, part two
Authors: Stoddard Brad 
Published: November 2023

AbstractScholars across the academic spectrum have written about the renewed interest in psychedelics that is commonly called the Psychedelic Renaissance (PR). Psychedelic religion is a major component of the PR, as psychedelic churches are growing exponentially and as people who consume and who research psychedelics routinely contend that these substances induce or occasion religious, spiritual, or mystical experiences. Scholars have noticed the growing association of psychoactive substances and religiosity, and they have addressed this association from a variety of academic fields, methods, and methodologies. Part one of this article (“Entheogens: Psychedelic religion in the United States, Part One”) explored the historiography of associations of psychoactive substances and religiosity in the United States from the 1800s to the 1980s. Part two of this article continues the historiographical analysis of this literature beginning in the 1980s and ends with recent scholarship. Collectively, this analysis highlights the evolving political, legal, and sociocultural capital associated with psychoactive substances and religion.
