The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale–Dyadic version: A new tool for the evaluation of the dyadic dysregulation in couple relationships
Authors: Faccini Filippo , Rogier Guyonne , Cavalli Roberta Gabriella , Santona Alessandra , Velotti Patrizia 
Published: January 2024

AbstractA new measure for assessing an individual's perception of the dyadic difficulties in emotion regulation with a romantic partner is tested. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale–Dyadic (DERS‐D) was obtained by adapting some items of the previous Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) to the dyadic context. The scale was administered both to a sample of university students (N = 835) to explore its factorial structure and to a convenience sample (N = 833) together with the DERS, the DERS‐Positive, the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ), and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to confirm the factorial structure and to explore its construct validity. Results highlight that DERS‐D measures two distinct features, namely the lack of dyadic awareness and the lack of dyadic clarity, and that configural invariance across genders was met. DERS‐D subscales' internal consistency was high. The correlations between the DERS‐D and the other measures demonstrated its construct and criterion validity. The promising nature of these results is discussed in light of the potential clinical and empirical uses of the DERS‐D.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveWe examined whether parent–adolescent academic conflict and parental psychological control mediated associations between academically gifted adolescents' academic and psychological adjustments for both Chinese and European Americans.BackgroundPrevious studies suggest that associations between family dynamics and developmental outcomes are different between Chinese and European American adolescents, but they often overlook potential cross‐ethnic similarities within special groups (e.g., academically gifted students).MethodWe assessed 212 Chinese American and 122 European American academically gifted students' academic adjustment (academic efficacy and grade point average [GPA]), family dynamics (parental psychological control and parent–adolescent academic conflict), and psychological outcomes (depression, anxiety, and self‐esteem) during ninth and 10th grade.ResultsFor both groups, previously low academic efficacy was associated with later psychological maladjustment, and previously high GPA was associated with later anxiety. These associations were not mediated by family dynamics for either group.ConclusionFor both groups, adolescents' academic adjustment could play an important role in psychological well‐being, regardless of whether they experienced parental psychological control and parent–adolescent academic conflict.ImplicationsFor both groups, it is important to identify whether academic‐related stressors (e.g., keeping academic success and high academic efficacy) are sources for academically gifted adolescents' psychological problems and help them develop coping strategies.
Air temperature and sovereign bond returns

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe relationship between air temperature and sovereign bond returns is founded on competing paradigms: macroeconomic, behavioral and energy demand‐based. Which of these theoretical mechanisms receives support from data? To answer this, we examined four decades of bond data from 31 countries. Overall, daily temperature positively affects government bond returns. A 10°F rise leads to an increase in sovereign bond returns between 0.22 and 0.85 basis points. We also document evidence of asymmetric and nonlinear price responses to both temperature levels and shocks. Our results survive a battery of robustness checks and lend support to the macroeconomic and behavioral paradigms, albeit not the energy demand‐based view.

Published: January 2024

AbstractIntroductionIncreasing rate of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) has been observed between 2003 and 2010 in Canada. Inherited bleeding disorders contribute to the risk of PPH.AimTo identify the trend in PPH in the last decade, assess the impact of bleeding disorders on pregnancy outcomes and evaluate their coagulation workup during pregnancy.MethodsWe conducted a population‐based retrospective cohort study using the Alberta Pregnancy Birth Cohort from 2010 to 2018. We included women with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and haemophilia, identified by previously validated algorithm and matched with controls. Logistic regression was used to compute odds of PPH and other pregnancy outcomes.ResultsWe identified 311,330 women with a total of 454,400 pregnancies with live births. The rate of PPH did not change significantly from 10.13 per 100 deliveries (95% CI 10.10–10.16) in 2010–10.72 (95% CI 10.69–10.75) in 2018 (p for trend = .35). Women with bleeding disorders were significantly more likely to experience PPH (odds ratio [OR] 2.3; 95% CI 1.5–3.6), antepartum haemorrhage (OR 2.9; 95% CI 1.5–5.9) and red cell transfusion (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.1–7.0). We observed a nonsignificant rise in the rate of PPH in women with VWD and haemophilia. Only 49.5% pregnancies with bleeding disorders had third trimester coagulation factor levels checked. Higher odds of PPH and antepartum haemorrhage were observed even with factor levels ≥0.50 IU/mL in third trimester.ConclusionDespite comprehensive care in women with bleeding disorders, they are still at higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to population controls.
Association between multimorbidity and periodontal disease in Korean adults: A nationwide cross‐sectional cohort study
Authors: Jung Yun‐Sook , Kim Young‐Seok , Kim Ki‐Rim 
Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the association between multimorbidity, which refers to the presence of two or more chronic diseases, and periodontal disease in Korean adults using national survey data.MethodsA total of 12,440 Korean adults aged ≥19 years were selected from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). We investigated periodontal disease status based on various variables, including the gender, age, educational level, income level, smoking and alcohol drinking status, frequency of daily toothbrushing, and unmet dental treatment needs. Furthermore, periodontal status according to diagnosed chronic diseases, including hypertension, dyslipidaemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and diabetes, was investigated, and the association between multimorbidity and periodontal disease was analysed through multiple logistic regression using SAS 9.4.ResultsAccording to the general characteristics of the study participants, the prevalence of periodontal disease was higher in males, smokers, older age, and lower educational and income levels (p < 0.001). Moreover, as the frequency of daily toothbrushing increased, the distribution of periodontal disease decreased (p < 0.001). The prevalence of periodontal disease was higher in those with chronic diseases than in those without chronic diseases and was statistically significantly higher as the number of diagnosed chronic diseases increased (p < 0.001). Additionally, an increase in the number of chronic diseases was observed to increase the prevalence and risk of periodontal disease.ConclusionThese results suggest that multimorbidity significantly affects the prevalence of periodontal disease.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe condition and correlation of fatigue, sleep and physical activity in postoperative patients with pituitary adenomas remain unclear. This survey aimed to evaluate the current status and influencing factors of fatigue, sleep and physical activity in postoperative patients with pituitary adenomas.MethodsPatients undergoing pituitary adenoma resection in two tertiary hospitals from November 2019 to November 2021 were included. The general data questionnaire, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI‐20), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and international physical activity questionnaire were used for data analysis.ResultsIn total, 184 patients with pituitary adenomas were included. The postoperative patients with pituitary adenomas had a high level of fatigue. In total, 34 (18.5%) patients had low level of physical activity, 76(41.3%) patients had medium level of physical activity and 74 (40.2%) had high level of physical activity. Postoperative time, PSQI, physical activity level and gender were the influencing factors of fatigue in patients with pituitary adenomas (all P < 0.05).ConclusionsPostoperative patients with pituitary adenomas have a higher level of fatigue, and it is related to reduced sleep quality and activity. Relevant nursing measures should be taken according to the influencing factors of fatigue to reduce the fatigue of postoperative patients with pituitary adenomas.
Nurses' perceived health and occupational burnout: A focus on sleep quality, workplace violence, and organizational culture

Published: January 2024

AbstractAimThis study investigates the mediation of sleep quality between perceived health and occupational burnout in hospital nurses, considering the moderation of workplace violence and organizational culture.BackgroundOccupational factors lead to physical and mental distress, burnout, and sleep issues in nurses. Approximately two‐thirds of nurses experience burnout, impacting patient care quality and safety. Cultivating a positive organizational culture is essential for nursing workforce stability.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study employed convenience sampling to recruit 346 nurses from a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan in July–August 2020 (response rate: 87.3%). Self‐administered questionnaires containing validated instruments were employed, including an adapted occupational burnout scale, the Chinese version of an organizational culture scale, a Perceived Health Questionnaire, a Workplace Violence Experience Scale, and the CPSQI; all instruments were reliable and valid. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, linear regression, and the Johnson–Neyman technique.ResultsNurses with better perceived health exhibited significantly lower occupational burnout (p < 0.001). Perceived health indirectly impacted burnout through sleep quality (p < 0.01) with organizational culture as a partial moderator. Bureaucratic organizational culture exacerbated this relationship. Additionally, decreased workplace violence moderated the connections among perceived health, sleep quality, and occupational burnout among nurses.ConclusionsGiven the inverse correlation between nurses' perceived health and occupational burnout and considering factors such as workplace violence, organizational culture, and sleep quality, healthcare institutions can proactively take steps to enhance nurses' overall well‐being and mitigate burnout.Implications for nursing and health policyBy implementing wellness programs, mental health support, security training, robust reporting, and a zero‐tolerance approach to violence, healthcare stakeholders can foster a safe and supportive work environment for nurses, thus improving well‐being, patient outcomes, and healthcare quality.
Internationally standardized respiratory viral load testing with limited resources: A derivative‐of‐care calibration strategy for SARS‐CoV‐2
Authors: Tao Lili , Chan Allison , Maris Alex , Schmitz Jonathan E. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIntroductionSARS‐CoV‐2 has demonstrated that, in targeted circumstances, viral quantification within respiratory specimens can valuably inform patient management, as well as research. Nevertheless, the pandemic has illustrated concomitant challenges for obtaining high‐quality (and broadly comparable) respiratory viral loads. This includes a critical need for standardization and calibration, even though the necessary resources may not always be available for emergent pathogens and non‐bloodstream specimens.MethodsTo these ends, we describe a novel strategy for implementing quantitative SARS‐CoV‐2 testing with International Unit‐based calibration. Earlier in the course of the pandemic—when analytic resources were far more limited—select residual SARS‐CoV‐2 positive specimens from routine care in our diagnostic laboratory were pooled to formulate a clinically realistic secondary standard of high volume and analyte concentration, which was cross‐calibrated to the primary SARS‐CoV‐2 standard of the World Health Organization.ResultsThe resultant calibrators were integrated into the original CDC RT‐qPCR assay for SARS‐CoV‐2, whose (now broadened) performance characteristics were defined to generate a test appropriate for both clinical and research use. This test allowed for the quantification of virus in respiratory specimens down to a validated lower limit of quantification of 103.4 IU/ml.ConclusionsBy self‐formulating calibrators from this derivative‐of‐care secondary standard, we successfully validated respiratory viral loads without the commercial availability (at that time) of quantitative assays or calibrators. As the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic continues to decline—and even beyond this pathogen—this strategy may be applicable for laboratories seeking to implement viral load testing for nontraditional specimen types despite limited resources.
How Does Human Agency Actually Work? On Bratman's ‘Core Capacity Thesis’ and the Relation between Philosophy of Action and the Empirical Sciences
Authors: Phillips Jonathan , Plunkett David 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTThroughout his career, Michael Bratman has developed a detailed model of individual ‘planning agency’, and, more recently, models of joint action and aspects of social life that he argues such planning agency helps support. How might we empirically investigate whether these models capture what is going on in actual human lives? In this article, we critically engage with this broad question by focusing on what Bratman calls the ‘core capacity thesis’, which is at the center of his most recent discussions of how his work in the philosophy of action hangs together. In his own words, the core capacity thesis claims that ‘our capacity for planning agency plays basic roles in multiple, interrelated systems of human, mind‐shaped practical organization, individual and social’. We explore how one might go about testing this thesis, focusing on Bratman's particular way of defending this thesis using the idea of ‘nested Cummins functions’. In so doing, we hope to contribute to a broader discussion about what the relationship is (or, perhaps more importantly, should be) between the kind of philosophy of action Bratman does and empirical work in fields such as psychology, cognitive science, and biology.

AbstractOur purpose was to develop and evaluate the clinical outcomes of a nursing plan as a rooming‐in practice for enhanced recovery of women with preeclampsia following a cesarean section. The authors developed a postoperative enhanced recovery nursing plan as a rooming‐in practice for women with preeclampsia based on summarizing evidence‐based best practices. The authors used convenience sampling to select women with preeclampsia after a cesarean section from the obstetrics department of a Class A tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China, as the participants in our study. There were 30 women in the experimental group. The postoperative enhanced recovery nursing care plan was formulated for five postoperative time points and incorporated management of blood pressure, temperature, and fluids, as well as monitoring of complications, pain management, activity and rest, diet management, and breastfeeding. The control group consisted of 30 women who received routine nursing care and health education. The authors compared levels of maternal self‐efficacy, breastfeeding efficacy, anxiety, pain scores, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention compliance before and after the intervention. Women in the experimental group had a self‐efficacy score of 7.5 ± 0.63, which was higher than that in the control group (5.4 ± 0.85); they had a higher breastfeeding efficacy score of 7.13 ± 0.68 when compared to the control group (4.23 ± 0.86); the anxiety score was 6.7 ± 1.62, which was lower than that in the control group (10.03 ± 1.87); and the pain score was lower at 3.26 ± 0.52 when compared to the control group (3.83 ± 0.83). All the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Postoperative blood pressure was controlled within the target range, and the rate of DVT prevention compliance increased in the experimental group. The implementation of a postoperative enhanced recovery nursing intervention for women with preeclampsia as part of the rooming‐in practice was effective in helping manage the blood pressure, pain, and fluids of women with preeclampsia, improved their postoperative self‐management ability and breastfeeding efficacy, reduced their anxiety levels, improved their compliance with the prevention of related complications, and ultimately promoted enhanced postoperative recovery, thereby guaranteeing the safety of mothers and newborns.
Non‐documents for Big Decisions: The Commission and the EEC–Japan Automotive Agreement (1991)
Authors: Milor Alice 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article highlights some material aspects of informal governance by analysing the unsigned confidential documents intended to drive the future of the European automotive sector in 1991. Whilst it was long thought that the EEC–Japan agreement had been unwritten, this study reveals that it was a combination of oral and written statements, bilateral decisions and unilateral interpretations. These ambiguities have been used by the Commission to achieve the impossible: providing for one thing and its opposite in order to satisfy extremely divided opinions. Using public and private archives of several stakeholders, the article underlines the Commission's power over institutional (Member States and the European Parliament) and private (industry and NGOs) players. Whilst recent studies have pointed to repeated unwritten rules to temper informality leading to a democratic deficit, the 1991 non‐consensual consensus eluded any tacit rule because it lay in the grey area of diplomacy, economics and law.
Intergenerational autoethnography of heritage language maintenance: Focusing on emotion, identity, and power
Authors: Song Juyoung , Wu Amber E. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis collaborative autoethnography explores the intersection of heritage language (HL) maintenance, emotion, and identity from the perspectives of a mother and her 15‐year‐old daughter learning and maintaining Korean in the United States. The analysis of their narratives concerning critical emotional experiences relevant to HL maintenance reveals that their complex emotional experiences were guided by a feeling rule: Be evincive of a desire for HL maintenance. Both of them engaged in emotion labor by demonstrating their continuous desire for HL maintenance and masking other felt emotions such as anxiety, shame, guilt, and regret. The results also demonstrate that complying with the feeling rule (for immigrant families) goes beyond emotional expressions—it entails self‐fulfillment and social recognition. The mother's desire for establishing her identity as a good (Korean) mother by fulfilling her gendered responsibility of maintaining the HL bolstered her desire for her daughter's Korean language maintenance. The daughter's desire for meeting expectations of others via learning Korean increased her desire for developing bilingual skills, through which she moved away from a racialized and stereotyped Asian image to construct an image of a cool kid with bilingual skills. The article ends with implications for immigrant families’ emotional well‐being and further research on HL maintenance.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundHealth disparities and barriers to equitable care for patients from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds are common. We sought to evaluate disparities in management recommendations among Black/African American (AA) patients seeking care for IBS.MethodsWe assembled a retrospective cohort of patients at two tertiary care centers who were self‐identifying as Black/AA and attended a first gastroenterology consult for IBS. These patients were age‐ and sex‐matched to White controls with IBS also attending an initial gastroenterology consult. Retrospective chart review determined patient demographics, income, comorbidities, as well as provider management recommendations including pharmacologic therapies and non‐pharmacologic interventions.Key ResultsAmong 602 IBS patients ages 14–88 (M ± SD = 43.6 ± 18.6 years) with IBS, those who identified as Black/AA (n = 301) had a lower estimated mean income and were significantly more likely to have a number of specific chronic medical conditions. Black/AA patients were significantly less likely to have implemented dietary changes for symptoms prior to receiving a diagnosis of IBS from a gastroenterologist. Black/AA patients were also less likely to receive a referral to a dietician within 1 year following their diagnosis of IBS (p = 0.01). Black/AA patients were prescribed pharmacologic therapy more often for constipation (41.9% vs. 34.6%, p = 0.01). It was more common for White patients to present at the initial encounter having already initiated a neuromodulator (41.9% vs. 27.9%, p < 0.001).Conclusion & InferencesManagement recommendations for IBS appear to vary by race, specifically for dietary advice and referrals.

AbstractA growing antimicrobial crisis has increased demand for antimicrobial materials. It has become increasingly popular to convert polymeric macromolecules into polymeric carbon particles (PCP) in order to achieve highly biocompatible materials with unique properties as a result of the ability to synthesize nanomaterials of the right size and add value to existing stable polymers. This work presents the tuning of PCP for antibacterial application by combining a biocidal polymer with one‐pot solvothermal synthesis. PCP displayed broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity via various mechanisms, including inhibition of bacterial cell walls, ROS generation, and antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, these biocidal PCP were observed to show excitation‐independent near‐white light emission which on the other hand is generally possible due to mixed sizes, doping, and surface effects. As opposed to the parent biocidal polymer, PCP added ROS‐mediated bactericidal activity, increased cytocompatibility, and nanofibers with anti‐adhesive effects and potential of imaging bacterial cells.
