Published: February 2025

AbstractAs a functional crystal, LiNbO3 plays a significant role in nonlinear optics, optical storage, illumination, and three‐dimensional display. Recent investigations have suggested that the precipitation of LiNbO3 in a nonequilibrium system shows unique crystallite geometry and orientation, leading to fascinating nonlinear optical properties. This work focuses on the effect of alkaline earth metal ions on the properties of Li2O–Nb2O5–SiO2 glass ceramics. The results demonstrate that within the Li2O–Nb2O5–SiO2 glass matrix, irregularly shaped crystals of approximately 5 µm in size precipitate through volume crystallization. Upon incorporation of Mg2+, the glass ceramic remains in volume crystallization while LiNbO3 crystals grow to 10 µm and become spherical. In contrast, the compositions containing Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ change to surface crystallization, producing submicron or even nano‐sized crystals. Besides, the nonlinear optical response can be improved after the hybridization of alkaline earth metal oxides. This research offers insights into the crystallization behavior of LiNbO3 crystals from the nonequilibrium environment.

ABSTRACTAimsThe aim of this scoping review was to identify hard‐to‐reach and hidden groups in health‐related research and to understand the recruitment methods used with these groups.DesignThe presented scoping review has an exploratory perspectiveand was conducted in accordance with Arksey and O'Malley's framework and the PRISMA‐ScR guidelines.Data SourcesA comprehensive search of CINAHL and MEDLINE databases was performed for studies published up to November 2022. The searches were updated in December 2024.Review MethodsRelevant papers were identified via specific search terms and inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two authors independently assessed eligible literature and extracted relevant data, which was analysed and synthesised to answer the research questions. The analysis method used was descriptive analysis with quantification.ResultsOverall, 1024 studies were screened. The included studies were published between 2001 and 2022. A total of 41 studies were included in the review. In this data, groups were defined mostly as hard‐to‐reach and hidden. The groups were divided into eight categories: LGBTQ+ community, intoxicant users, sex workers and their clients, marginalised groups, mental health care seekers and users, impaired persons, people living outside their original home country and victims of abuse or neglect. Recruitment methods were varied, with snowball sampling, respondent‐based sampling and websites being the most used.ConclusionThis review provides insight into the current knowledge on hard‐to‐reach and hidden study groups. In studies targeting hard‐to‐reach and hidden groups, the use of concepts is variable and inconsistent.ImpactIn clinical nursing practice, it is important to identify hidden and hard‐to‐reach groups, as the goal of equality is to improve the health and well‐being of all individuals, including marginalised groups.Reporting MethodReporting was guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis ex‐tension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR).Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

ABSTRACTAimTo investigate the outcomes of implementing logistician positions on nurses' job satisfaction in hospitals.DesignA sequential explanatory mixed‐methods approach was employed.MethodIn the quantitative phase, the “Job Satisfaction Single Item” scale was utilised, and nurses' perceptions and intentions to leave were assessed. Subsequently, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with nurses who had or had not experienced the deployment of logisticians to deepen the quantitative findings. Content analysis was conducted and data triangulation was used with a co‐researcher.ResultsQuestionnaires were completed by 602 nurses, followed by semi‐structured interviews with 10 nurses between July 2023 and September 2023. Job satisfaction was significantly higher among nurses who worked with a logistician in their department. This organisational change freed up nurses' time and added more meaning to their work. Logisticians alleviated the physical and mental workload of nurses. Furthermore, turnover intention is higher among nurses who do not work with a logistician. Additionally, nurses provided recommendations and suggestions for the deployment of these posts.ConclusionLogistician positions enable nurses to refocus on their core duties, thereby improving their job satisfaction. Logisticians also improve nurses' health. Enhancing nurses' job satisfaction can reduce turnover rates and help address the nursing shortage. Further studies could complement these results in order to provide arguments in favour of the deployment of logisticians in hospitals.ImpactGiven the global nursing shortage, implementing logistician posts could be important to prevent the closure of hospital beds and ensure the continuous provision of healthcare services to the population.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough falls among older adults pose substantial health risks and are often preventable, many fallers do not seek medical care. The Raise'Age program addresses this challenge by offering proactive fall prevention for older adults who require “lift assistance” but are not taken to hospital. The program includes (i) screening by emergency medical services (EMSs), (ii) referrals for a comprehensive geriatric assessment, (iii) in‐home evaluations by a mobile geriatric team (MGT), and (iv) referrals to primary care physicians (PCPs). Here, we outline the program's design, development, and implementation.MethodsThe program's activity in 2023 was assessed with regard to the number of EMS fall reports, the reports' completeness, the program's eligibility, and acceptance by physicians and patients, in‐home assessments, adherence to geriatric follow‐up programs, and coordination delays.ResultsIn 2023, the Raise'Age program received 959 reports, accounting for 48% of lift assistances by paramedics. Of these, 37% of the reports were reviewed for eligibility. Reports were often archived due to irrelevance, a recent hospital stay, or difficulty contacting PCPs. Among eligible reports, 77% were approved for in‐home evaluations, and the remainder were referred to a geriatrician or scheduled for hospital admission. The median processing time was 26 days. Of 228 patients eligible for home visits, 150 accepted the intervention. Visit acceptance rates were higher when a PCP endorsed the program. Follow‐up was provided to 36% of the patients‐ primarily via teleconsultation. Finally, 15.6% of the patients for whom a lift assistance report was sent to the MGT completed the Raise'Age program.ConclusionsThe Raise'Age program demonstrates that EMS screening and collaboration with MGTs are feasible, although some patients may decline the services offered. Continuous evaluations and interventions by MGTs and referrals to community‐based medical and social services effectively address the needs of older adults.
Affordances and Opportunities for Relational Wellness
Authors: Tomm Karl , Taylor Lance 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the concept of “affordances” for relational healing that clients implicitly bring with them to therapy. It highlights the therapist's perception of such affordances as a first step toward conceiving of opportunities to take certain initiatives to enable relational wellness. As therapists become increasingly aware of the multiple possibilities that clients afford them to intervene, they are more liable to utilize such opportunities when doing therapy. By sharpening their observational skills to perceive these affordances, therapists may more readily conceive of associated therapeutic opportunities and initiate relevant interventions. We start with some background theory and then present a few vignettes of clinical work to illustrate the application of these concepts in the course of family therapy.
“As Therapists, We Get to Be Quietly Subversive”: A Qualitative Exploration of CFTs' Social Justice Practices
Authors: Golojuch Laura A. , Morgan Amy A. , Mittal Mona 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTScholars from counseling fields have long urged therapists to recognize the moral imperative of promoting justice and co‐creating a more equitable society. Because of their systemic lens, couple, and family therapists (CFTs) are uniquely poised to create systemic change. Scholars in the CFT field have underscored the importance of social justice for decades. However, little empirical evidence exists in the CFT field on how social justice is being prioritized. Using Freire's critical consciousness, this study explores CFT's social justice practices utilizing a national sample of CFTs (n = 22). This study investigates how participants define social justice, develop critical consciousness, address oppression, and practice advocacy. Clinical implications for CFTs to provide culturally responsive services and improve advocacy are discussed.

Published: February 2025

AbstractFor all vertebrates, the anterior eye structures work together to protect and nourish the eye while ensuring that light entering the eye is correctly focused on the retina. However, the anterior eye structure can vary significantly among different vertebrates, reflecting how the structures of the anterior eye have evolved to meet the specific visual needs of different vertebrate species. Although conserved pathways regulate fundamental aspects of anterior eye development in vertebrates, there may also be species‐specific differences underlying structural variation. Our knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of structures of the anterior eye comes mainly from work in mammals, chicks, some amphibians, and small teleosts such as zebrafish. Our understanding of anterior eye development would benefit from comparative molecular studies in diverse vertebrates. A promising lizard model is the brown anole, Anolis sagrei, which is easily raised in the laboratory and for which genome editing techniques exist. Here, we provide a detailed histological analysis of the development of the anterior structures of the eye in A. sagrei, which include the cornea, iris, ciliary body, lens, trabecular meshwork, and scleral ossicles. The development of the anterior segment in anoles follows a pattern similar to other vertebrates. The lens forms first, followed by the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and tissues involved in the outflow of the aqueous humor. The development of the iris and ciliary body begins temporally and then proceeds nasally. Scleral ossicle development is generally comparable to that reported for chicks and turtles. Anoles have a remarkably thin cornea and a flat ciliary body compared to the eyes of mammals and birds. This study highlights several features in anoles and represents a deeper understanding of reptile eye development.

ABSTRACTAimsTo map the diabetes‐related content exposure of older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and explore the association between the exposure and self‐management and the mediation effects of self‐efficacy.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsThis study was conducted among 257 eligible older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus from five communities in China. Diabetes self‐management and self‐efficacy were measured with standardised assessment tools. The variable of diabetes‐related content exposure was generated by the collection of all content exposure and the transformation of Q‐methodology. Descriptive statistics and the relative mediation effect model were used to do the analyses.ResultsAmong the participants, 61.1% had hyperbeneficial content exposure, 13.6% had hypobeneficial content exposure, 24.9% had irrelevant content exposure, and 0.4% had harmful content exposure. Compared with those with irrelevant content exposure, older adults with hyperbeneficial content exposure exhibited higher self‐management scores (β = 0.448, 95% CI = 0.174–0.721); in the mediation model, the relative direct effect of hyperbeneficial content exposure on self‐management remained significant (β = 0.377, 95% CI = 0.104–0.650), and self‐efficacy significantly mediated this relationship (β = 0.071, 95% CI = 0.011–0.154). The relative mediation effect accounted for 15.8% of the relative total effect. Conversely, no significant effect of hypobeneficial content exposure on self‐management was observed.ConclusionSocial media can empower the self‐management of older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus exposed to hyperbeneficial contents, with self‐efficacy serving as a significant mediator. In contrast, exposure to hypobeneficial contents on social media did not lead to significant improvement in the self‐management. This suggests that not all diabetes‐related contents on social media are equally beneficial, and the relevance of information matters.ImplicationsHealthcare providers should consider leveraging social media platforms in conjunction with traditional education programmes to enhance the self‐management of older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus may search positively diabetes‐related hyperbeneficial contents on social media.Reporting MethodThe report of this study adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement guidelines.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackground and PurposeThis study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease (PD) subtypes—tremor dominant (TD) and postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD)—by analyzing regional homogeneity (ReHo) values from resting‐state functional MRI.MethodsFifty‐nine PD patients (29 TD patients, 30 PIGD patients) and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. ReHo values were analyzed via analysis of variance and a two‐sample t‐test, with age and sex as covariates. Correlations between ReHo values and clinical motor symptoms were also examined.ResultsDistinct ReHo patterns were observed in patients with the PD subtypes and HCs. TD patients presented decreased ReHo in the cerebellar–thalamic–cortical circuit, whereas PIGD patients presented lower ReHo in the striatum and supplementary motor area (SMA). TD patients had higher ReHo in the bilateral dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and SMA but lower ReHo in the bilateral medial orbital part of the superior frontal gyrus and other regions on the left than PIGD patients. Specific brain area ReHo values were correlated with tremor scores, PIGD scores, and rigidity scores.ConclusionDifferent motor subtypes of PD patients and HCs showed distinct ReHo patterns. ReHo correlation with clinical traits suggests its value as a biomarker for subtype‐specific diagnostic strategies.
Exploring the necessary roles of basic psychological needs at work: A necessary condition analysis
Authors: Ding Haien , Kuvaas Bård 
Published: February 2025

AbstractSelf‐determination theory (SDT) postulates that all humans have basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. SDT scholars employ a necessity logic to define and interpret the roles of psychological need satisfaction for optimal human development. However, traditional regression techniques, often applied to test hypotheses derived from SDT, are unsuitable for testing necessity statements. To achieve a theory‐method alignment, we employed necessary condition analysis (NCA) to examine whether basic psychological needs at work are necessary for employees' intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, life satisfaction, and vigour at work. Study 1's cross‐sectional data (N = 550; Germany) and Study 2's time‐lagged data (N = 417; UK and US) generally support the necessary roles of need satisfaction. Notably, intrinsic motivation and vigour are especially constrained by basic psychological need satisfaction. This research advances SDT by providing more precise accounts of the theory from a necessity‐oriented lens. We also highlight the importance of management practices that can satisfy employees' basic psychological needs at work.
An Investigation Into Soup With the Addition of Brown Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and Red Seaweed (Chondrus crispus) Using Nonconsumers of Seaweed
Authors: Stright Allison , Frampton Kaitlyn , McSweeney Matthew B. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTSeaweed has been proposed as an ingredient that can increase the umami taste and saltiness of food items. However, seaweed is not regularly consumed in North America. This study aimed to evaluate how nonconsumers of seaweed (n = 103) perceive the sensory properties and acceptance of soup with brown seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and red seaweed (Chondrus crispus) powder added. The samples include a control soup (without seaweed) and soup with 1.5% and 3% brown seaweed, as well as 1.5% and 3% red seaweed by weight. Furthermore, before evaluating the soup, they were asked to identify the flavors and textures they associate with seaweed. The brown and red seaweed increased the umami and saltiness intensity of the soup, but it also increased the bitterness and sourness. The red seaweed also decreased the sweetness, overall liking, and liking of the soup's flavor. The participants associated seaweed with fishy, salty, and umami flavors and undesirable textures (slimy, tough, chewy). Seaweed increased the umami and salty taste of soup when evaluated by nonconsumers, but it also introduced other tastes to the soup. This study also identified nonconsumers’ beliefs about seaweed and should help create novel food products using seaweed.

ABSTRACTBackgroundObtaining non‐directed samples from the upper bronchial tree is easier to perform and poses fewer risks for critically ill patients than deep bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Since invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with a high mortality in critically ill patients, timely diagnosis and rapid initiation of treatment are of utmost importance.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to compare Galactomannan (GM) testing by Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), GM Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) and the detection of Aspergillus DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) between directed BAL and non‐directed bronchial lavage (BL) in critically ill patients.MethodsIn this prospective, exploratory pilot study, we analysed 120 samples from 40 patients admitted to 12 mixed intensive care units. Inclusion criteria required either risk factors for IPA or positive Aspergillus assessments and met the criteria published by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases guidelines for IPA diagnosis. Both respiratory secretions and blood were collected. In each patient, LFA and PCR were performed on BAL, BL and blood serum, respectively. The EIA test was applied to the BL and BAL of each patient, and the serum of 24 patients. The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04848831).ResultsIn a total of 80 respiratory samples, Aspergillus GM EIA yielded optical density indices (ODI) ranging from 0.04 to ≥ 3.5. We observed a high correlation between BAL and BL samples for Aspergillus GM EIA (Pearson's r = 0.78 [95% CI 0.62, 0.88]; intraclass correlation coefficient 0.78). At an ODI cutoff of 0.8 for BAL and 1.2 for BL, the sensitivity of Aspergillus GM EIA was 0.94, while the specificity was 0.67. Increasing the BAL cutoff to 1.0 ODI improved the specificity to 0.86. Aspergillus PCR examination showed good agreement between the two compartments, with a Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.75 (95% CI 0.48, 1.00). The correlation of Aspergillus GM LFA between BAL and BL was weak.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that the detection of Aspergillus GM using EIA or Aspergillus PCR in BL is comparable to that in BAL. Thus, BL samples can be reliably used for diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

ABSTRACTWomen who are living with a diagnosis of serious mental illness face an elevated risk of premature mortality from breast and gynecological cancers. To understand the risk factors associated with prevalence and premature death from breast or gynecological cancer in women diagnosed with an SMI, a scoping review was conducted, using the Arksey and O'Malley framework in accordance with the PRISMAScR guidelines. Four electronic databases were searched for research from 2012 to 2024. The 21 selected articles identified potential factors associated with our target: clinical status, coordination of care across health services, and social and family support. The findings suggest that the keys to improving outcomes are conducting proper screening among women diagnosed with SMI, coordinating mental health and oncological care, and capitalizing on available family support.
Citizen Acceptance of Co‐Designed Public Sector Innovation

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis experimental study examines user involvement in the co‐design stage of public sector innovations in relation to citizen acceptance of these innovations. We analyze 603 citizen evaluations of 12 co‐designed innovation prototypes. Results show that involving a few users can benefit many citizens. Partially co‐designed innovation prototypes, with users co‐defining the problem but professionals developing the solution, are perceived by citizens to be of higher quality than prototypes developed by professionals only, resulting in greater innovation acceptance in terms of perceived usefulness and ease of use. However, for fully co‐designed innovation prototypes, we do not find these positive results.
