AbstractSince the research on contemporary personality models—and psychopathology—mainly originate from the Western world, we aimed to test the factorial structure of two trait systems assessed with the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5 (PID‐5) in a non‐Western sample and to compare the extracted models' relative associations with binge eating disorder (BED) and bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD) symptoms. A community sample (N = 516; 72% female) was administered the PID‐5, which can operationalize both the DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 systems. The factor structures of both systems were tested using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). The congruence coefficients of all factor loadings with international studies were calculated. The Binge Eating Scale (BES), Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS), and Hypomania Checklist‐32‐Revised (HCL‐32) were used to measure the criterion variables. Linear regression models were used for comparing the DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 systems in predicting the BED and BSD. The findings supported five‐factor solutions for both trait systems. Both systems significantly predicted dimensional measures of both BED and BSD (all p < 0.001). The present findings support an acceptable five‐factor structure for both personality systems in the non‐Western sample. Different algorithms of maladaptive domains on both systems are related to binge eating and bipolar spectrum psychopathology.

AbstractRodent management involves the use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs). This use has resulted in the selection of numerous resistance alleles in the Vkorc1 gene, encoding the target enzyme of ARs. In Africa, although rodents are a major problem as a consequence of their transport and transmission of zoonotic pathogens, and damage to crops, the use of ARs and the spread of resistance alleles are poorly documented. We attempted to address both issues in Chad which is one of the largest countries in Africa. Owing to its location at the crossroads of central and northern Africa, Chad is representative of many African countries.MethodsUsing a sampling of nearly 300 rodents composed of invasive and endemic rodents collected in six of Chad's largest cities, exposure to ARs was analyzed by their quantification in the liver; the spread of AR resistance alleles was analyzed by Vkorc1 sequencing.ResultsWe demonstrate the use of both ARs generations in Chadian cities and report the total sequencing of the Vkorc1 for 44 Mastomys natalensis with detection of two different haplotypes, the sequencing of the Vkorc1 for two other endemic rodent species, M. kollmannspergeri and Arvicanthis niloticus, and finally the detection of three new missense mutations – V29E, V69E and D127V – in R. rattus, potentially associated with resistance to ARs.DiscussionThese results should argue for the implementation of a reasoned management of rodent populations in Africa to avoid the spread of ARs resistance alleles. © 2023 The Authors.

“We Can Draw and Think About It Ourselves”: Putting Culture and Race in Phonics Reading Research
Authors: Lawson Amber 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTYoung children of Color from minoritized communities can co‐author decodable stories using phonics skills they have been taught, their lived experiences, and home languages, including nondominant English languages, to develop decoding skills using student‐generated decodable readers. While traditional and curricular decodable readers are used during phonics instruction to support children's decoding development, they are written in White Mainstream English and may include diverse characters with experiences more familiar to the White dominant group of American society. Because there is a population of readers experiencing a gap between their identities and phonics instruction, there is an urgent need for their experiences to be improved. Building on my experiences as a primary grades teacher and researcher, I discuss a quantitative and qualitative study conducted in an urban second grade classroom where children of Color and I put culture and race into phonics instruction. Culturally relevant education and the language experience approach were used to advance children's decoding development using their funds of knowledge and existing language experiences which are often a part of their racial identities. By combining these approaches with co‐authorship, children of Color from minoritized communities were placed at the center of phonics instruction to receive more equitable educational opportunities while advancing their decoding skills as co‐authors of their decodable stories.
Ovarian ectopic pregnancy: clinical characteristics, ultrasound diagnosis and management
Authors: Solangon S. A. , Naftalin J. , Jurkovic D. 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo compare the clinical, ultrasound and biochemical characteristics of ovarian ectopic pregnancy (OEP) with those of tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP).MethodsThis was a retrospective case–control study of women with OEP and those with TEP seen at a single center between December 2010 and February 2021. OEP was defined as a pregnancy located completely or partially within the ovarian parenchyma, seen separately to a corpus luteum, if a corpus luteum was present within the ipsilateral ovary. We compared demographic features, risk factors, clinical presentation, ultrasound findings and outcomes, such as blood loss at surgery, need for blood transfusion, length of hospital stay, follow‐up and future pregnancy outcome, between cases of OEP and TEP.ResultsOverall, 20 women with OEP were identified and compared to 100 women with TEP. A total of 15/20 (75%) OEPs were diagnosed correctly on the first ultrasound scan. There was no difference between the groups in terms of maternal age, gestational age, gravidity, parity or risk factors. Compared with TEP, OEP was more likely to present with abdominal pain without vaginal bleeding (12/20 (60%) vs 13/100 (13%); odds ratio (OR), 10.0 (95% CI, 3.45–29.20); P < 0.01), contain an embryo with cardiac activity (3/20 (15%) vs 2/100 (2%); OR, 8.7 (95% CI, 1.34–55.65); P = 0.02) and have severe hemoperitoneum on ultrasound (9/20 (45%) vs 8/100 (8%); OR, 9.4 (95% CI, 3.01–29.40); P < 0.01), and had a higher volume of blood loss at surgery (median, 700 mL vs 100 mL; P < 0.01). All surgically managed OEPs had successful laparoscopic treatment (18 excisions, one wedge resection) with preservation of the ovary. Only one (5%) case of OEP required a blood transfusion.ConclusionsOEP is more likely than TEP to contain an embryo and to present with severe hemoperitoneum. In a dedicated early pregnancy setting, the majority of OEPs were detected on an ultrasound scan at the initial visit, facilitating optimal minimally invasive surgical management, reducing the risk of blood transfusion and oophorectomy. Our findings can be used as a reference for clinicians who may not otherwise encounter this rare condition. © 2023 The Authors.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo examine infant outcomes at 3 years of age in monochorionic twin pregnancies with Type‐II or ‐III selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) and isolated oligohydramnios who underwent fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP).MethodsThis multicenter prospective cohort study included monochorionic diamniotic twins that underwent FLP for sFGR between 16 and 25 weeks' gestation. The indication for performing FLP was Type‐II or ‐III sFGR with oligohydramnios of the growth‐restricted (FGR) twin in which the maximum vertical pocket of amniotic fluid was ≤ 2 cm. This was done in the absence of a typical diagnosis of twin–twin transfusion syndrome. The primary outcome was intact survival rate of both infants at the corrected gestational age of 40 weeks and at 3 years of age. Intact survival at the corrected age of 40 weeks was defined as survival without Grade‐III or ‐IV intraventricular hemorrhage or cystic periventricular leukomalacia. Intact survival at 3 years of age was defined as survival without neurodevelopmental morbidity, which included cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental impairment with a total developmental quotient of < 70, bilateral deafness or bilateral blindness.ResultsAmong 45 patients with sFGR, 30 (66.7%) were classified as having Type‐II and 15 (33.3%) as Type‐III sFGR. The prevalence of intact survival at the corrected age of 40 weeks was 51.1% (n = 23) in FGR twins and 95.5% (n = 42) in larger twins. The prevalence of intact survival at 3 years of age was 46.7% (n = 21) in FGR twins and 86.4% (n = 38) in larger twins. There was one case of miscarriage. Among the 24 FGR twins who were not classified as having intact survival at 3 years of age, 22 (91.7%) cases suffered fetal or infant demise (other than miscarriage), and there was one case of neurodevelopmental impairment. All larger twins who were not diagnosed with intact survival at 3 years of age (n = 6 (13.6%)) had neurological morbidity.ConclusionsFGR twins and their larger cotwins, when subjected to FLP owing to sFGR coupled with umbilical artery Doppler abnormalities and isolated oligohydramnios, exhibit low rates of neurological morbidity and low mortality, respectively. Therefore, FLP for Type‐II or ‐III sFGR with oligohydramnios may be a feasible management option and one that is preferable to expectant management. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Universality and Interdependence in Transnational Education Governance
Authors: Grek Sotiria 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis chapter will discuss the apparent move away from the specificity of the context of application to the universality and interdependence of global education metrics: instead of the production of contextual knowledge, quantification in transnational governance has led to the production of expertise that is thoroughly standardised, de-contextualised, interdependent and even, as we shall see—at times—universal. The chapter will focus on two empirical examples of international organisations that saw their status as knowledge producers and expert brokers rise over the last 20 years: these are the OECD, and its collaboration with the European Commission, as well as the UNESCO Institute of Statistics with its coordination of the SDG4. Through an analytical account of these organisations’ key measurement exercises, the chapter will chart two key developments towards the production of decontextualised governing knowledge: these are the rise of interdependence of IOs in the production of expertise; secondly, the production of universal narratives of education progress and unity. Through concrete empirical examples, the chapter will show how the production of new global expert knowledge does not only contribute to performance measurement; rather, through discourse analysis of a range of policy documents as well as interviews with key policy actors, the chapter will show that monitoring frameworks, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, have the ambition and scope to construct universal knowledge to guide governance globally.
Constructing Consensus by Data
Authors: Grek Sotiria 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThrough a sociological analysis of the actors that have become central to transnational governance over the last 50 years, the chapter focuses on the processes that influence and steer the production of expert knowledge. The chapter adopts the position that its construction is not ‘organic’—the product of traditional knowledge-making as it became dominant from the Enlightenment onwards—but rather the outcome of complex undertakings that often imbricate a wide variety of actors—both national and international, including decision-makers—and different fields. The chapter builds on the shift from Mode 1 to Mode 2 knowledge production (Gibbons et al. in The new production of knowledge: The dynamics of science and research in contemporary societies. Sage, 1994) in order to document further changes to how expert knowledge is produced today: it argues that, at least in the field of global public policy, we see concerted efforts to produce expert knowledge that focuses equally on technocratic and political accountability and that sees brokerage and consensus-making as the ultimate goals in an increasingly polarised and uncertain post-pandemic world.
Präklinisches Loading bei Patienten mit akutem Thoraxschmerz und akutem Koronarsyndrom – PRELOAD-Umfrage
Authors: Macherey-Meyer Sascha , Braumann Simon , Heyne Sebastian , Meertens Max Maria , Tichelbäcker Tobias , Baldus Stephan , Lee Samuel , Adler Christoph 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Leitlinien zum Myokardinfarkt (MI) empfehlen eine blutverdünnende Therapie zum Diagnosezeitpunkt. Während der MI mit ST-Streckenhebung (STEMI) präklinisch sicher detektiert werden kann, ist das akute Koronarsyndrom ohne ST-Streckenhebung (NSTE-ACS) eine Arbeitsdiagnose.

Zielsetzung
Erfassung von präklinischem Loading mit Acetylsalicylsäure (ASS) und Heparin stratifiziert nach ACS-Entität und in Abhängigkeit von oraler Antikoagulation.

Methoden
Die PRELOAD-Studie wurde als deutschlandweite Online-Umfrage durchgeführt. STEMI/NSTE-ACS-Szenarien wurden mit folgender Variation präsentiert: I) ohne Vorbehandlung, II) Vorbehandlung mit neuem oralem Antikoagulan (NOAK), Vorbehandlung mit Vitamin-K-Antagonist (VKA). Loading-Strategien wurden erhoben und umfassten: a) ASS, b) unfraktioniertes Heparin (UFH), c) ASS + UFH, d) kein Loading.

Ergebnisse
In die Studie wurden 708 Notfallmediziner*innen eingeschlossen. Beim NSTE-ACS ohne Vorbehandlung entschieden sich 79 % für ein Loading (p < 0,001). ASS + UFH (71,4 %) war die häufigste Antwort. Beim STEMI entschlossen sich 100 % zum Loading, wobei 98,6 % ASS + UFH wählten. Beim NSTE-ACS mit NOAK-Vorbehandlung wählten 69,8 % Loading (p < 0,001). Eine VKA-Einnahme führte in 72,3 % der Fälle zum Loading (p < 0,001). ASS gefolgt von ASS + UFH waren die häufigsten Antworten. Beim STEMI war eine NOAK- bzw. VKA-Behandlung in 97,5 bzw. 96,8 % der Fälle mit einer Loading-Entscheidung verbunden (p < 0,001) – vermehrt wurde eine ASS-Monotherapie eingesetzt.

Schlussfolgerungen
Präklinisches Loading ist die präferierte Behandlungsstrategie, obwohl beim NSTE-ACS die Leitlinien eine Antikoagulation erst zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnose empfehlen. Im Fall vorbestehender oraler Antikoagulation wird präklinisches Loading gehäuft in Form einer ASS-Monotherapie durchgeführt. Beim STEMI mit Notwendigkeit der sofortigen invasiven Strategie bedeutet dies eine potenzielle Unterversorgung.

AbstractA potential solution to environmental problems associated to the use of fossil fuels and the exploitation of natural resources for energy production is the development of renewable energies with greater capacity, adaptability and integration, as well as their use for the improvement of this systems. Researchers turned their attention to biological and natural processes such as honeycombs at a structural level to increase the mechanical properties of various technologies. This investigation shows the results of the thermal analysis of a novel solar collector designed based on a Honey-Comb conjecture studied under different connections. Several structures were proposed considering a serial and parallel connections. Each one was designed and simulated in SolidWorks® software Flow Simulation. The study considers different boundary conditions as mass flow and solar radiation on the surface of the collectors. In the analysis, the maximum temperature was achieved at the highest solar radiation of 1050 $$W/{m}^{2}$$

The role of partially consumed acorn remains in scatter hoards and their implications in oak colonization
Authors: Del Arco Sergio , Del Arco Jose María 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Past studies have revealed the benefits of rodent participation in the colonization process of oak species. Certain rodent species (Apodemus sylvaticus and Mus spretus) partially consume acorns, beginning at the basal part and preserving the embryo. Perea et al. (2011) and Yang and Yi (2012) found that during periods of abundance, the remains left after partial consumption continue to be present on the surface and are not transported to caches, given that they are perceived as leftovers. These remains, produced after several visits by the cache owner or by thieving conspecifics, also appear in the caches. If they are perceived as offal, they will not be attacked and may remain in these stores for longer periods, serving as resources for the cache builder. Our objective is to determine whether these remnants are perceived as offal by the rodent generating them or if the remains left by other rodents are considered offal. This is relevant in cases of theft, a common behavior of this species, if the thieving animals reject the remains. The results suggest that foreign remains and the rodents’ own remains are not rejected, but rather, they are consumed in preference to intact acorns. The intact acorns remain in the cache for longer periods and have a greater opportunity to germinate and emerge. Rodents prefer to consume foreign remains first. This may be due to the fact that, in case of shortage, it is considered advantageous to finish the reserves of a potential competitor before depleting one’s own reserves.

Significance statement
Rodents participate in the acorn dissemination process by constructing surface stores (caches). The rodent species studied here partially consumes acorns, beginning with the basal part and preserving the embryo located at the apical end. These partially consumed acorn remains are considered offal and remain in the caches for longer periods, serving as reserves for the rodent. Our objective is to examine whether these acorn remains are viewed as offal by the rodents. We have found that, to the contrary, they are consumed before intact acorns. Intact acorns remain in the caches for longer periods, assuming the role of reserves and taking on a greater capacity to germinate. This species of rodent differentiates between its own remains and those of others, first consuming the foreign offal. Therefore, their own offal remains in the stores for longer periods and may potentially germinate if the embryo is preserved. This behavior has been demonstrated by this rodent species.
Low serum iPTH at the end of surgery is the earliest predictor of postoperative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy

Abstract
Background
The most frequent complication of total thyroidectomy remains hypocalcemia due to low postoperative levels of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of decreased iPTH at the end of surgery in predicting hypocalcemia. In addition, we examined the percentage decrease of iPTH as potential indicator of hypocalcemia.

Methods
We retrospectively collected the data of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for benign and malignant diseases at our institution between 2010 and 2022. The iPTH level was measured before and at the end of surgery, and serum calcium levels on the first postoperative day. Demographic, clinical, and biochemical characteristics of patients with low iPTH were compared with patients with normal iPTH levels using ANOVA for continuous variables and χ2-tests for categorical variables. Multivariable logistic regression analysis evaluated the association of iPTH at the end of surgery and the relative reduction of iPTH with postoperative hypocalcemia.

Results
The mean age of the 607 patients in this study was 55.6 years, and the female-to-male ratio was 5:1. Goiter was the most common indication for surgery (N = 382, 62.9%), followed by Graves’ disease (N = 135, 22.2%). The mean preoperative iPTH was 49.0 pg/ml, while the mean postoperative iPTH was 29.3 pg/ml. A total of 197 patients (32.5%) had an iPTH level below normal, 77 patients (39%), had iPTH levels of 10–15.0 pg/ml and 120 patients (61%) of < 10.0 pg/ml at the end of surgery. Among all patients, 124 (20.4%) developed hypocalcemia on the first postoperative day. The mean percentage of decrease of iPTH was highest among patients with iPTH < 10 pg/ml (76.9%, p < 0.01); this group of patients had also the highest rate of postoperative hypocalcemia on day one (45.0% vs. 26.0% vs 12.2%, p < 0.01).

Conclusions
Measurement of iPTH at the end of total thyroidectomy predicts patients who are at risk for postoperative hypocalcemia. The combination of low serum iPTH with a decrease in iPTH level of ≥ 50% may improve prediction of hypocalcemia compared to iPTH levels alone allowing for early calcium substitution in these patients at high risk of developing postoperative hypocalcemia.
