What type of noticing occurs in the first 6 months of learning a foreign language? A case of an absolute beginner of Turkish
Authors: Matthews Joshua , Yilmaz Devrim 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe concept of noticing, which emphasizes the role of attention and awareness in language learning, has exerted a strong influence on second language acquisition (SLA) theory and practice. The current research analyzes instances of noticing evident across a 26‐week period as the first author, an absolute beginner, was taught Turkish by the second author, a native speaker. All 52 video‐conferenced one‐to‐one lessons were recorded and subsequently thematically analyzed for the learner's noticing of the accusative, dative, locative, and ablative cases at two levels of complexity (single or multiple affix). Six noticing themes were evident and are defined and exemplified with multimodal vignettes and presented as a generalized model. Trends in the occurrence of these noticing themes over the first 6 months of learning are also presented. Discussion focusses on the practical relevance of the types of noticing observed and concludes with directions for future research.

AbstractAimTumor Ki‐67 expression reflects prognosis and cancer grade, and biopsy‐based preoperative assessment of Ki‐67 expression is key to treatment. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values obtained with this imaging may noninvasively predict Ki‐67 by reflecting tumor cell density and limited water molecule movement from irregular alignment. This study aimed to investigate the ability of ADC values to predict Ki‐67 expression in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).MethodWe retrospectively analyzed 39 cases of ICC confirmed by surgical pathology. All patients had undergone magnetic resonance imaging, and ADC values (mean, minimum, and maximum) were calculated. Ki‐67 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and patients were divided into groups of high (n = 18) and low (n = 21) Ki‐67 expression. To assess the diagnostic performance of the ADC values for Ki‐67 expression, we used the receiver operating characteristic curve and compared the areas under the curve (AUC).ResultsThe mean and minimum ADC values were significantly lower in the group with high Ki‐67 expression. For predicting high Ki‐67 expression, the AUC values were 0.701 for mean ADC, 0.818 for minimum ADC, and 0.571 for maximum ADC. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the minimum ADC values were 88.9% and 76.2%, respectively. In addition, with ADC values combined, the AUC increased to 0.831. Apparent diffusion coefficient is a useful predictor of Ki‐67 expression level in ICC.ConclusionApparent diffusion coefficient values, especially minimum ADC values, can noninvasively predict ICC associated with high Ki‐67 expression.

AbstractObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs) and potential prescription omissions (PPOs) in a Spanish cohort of people living with HIV (PLWH) aged ≥65 years and to identify risk factors for the presence of PIPs and PPOs.MethodsThis retrospective cross‐sectional study was conducted across 10 public hospitals in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain. Clinical and demographic data were cross‐checked against hospital and community pharmacy dispensation registries. PIPs and PPOs were assessed using the American Geriatrics Society (AGS)/Beers and Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP)/Screening Tool to Alert Doctors to Right Treatment (START) criteria. Risk factors for PIPs and PPOs and agreement between AGS/Beers and STOPP/START criteria were statistically analysed.ResultsThis study included 313 PLWH (median age 72 years), of whom 80.5% were men. PIP prevalence rates were 29.4% and 44.4% based on the AGS/Beers and STOPP criteria, respectively. The concordance between AGS/Beers and STOPP criteria was moderate. Benzodiazepines and proton pump inhibitors were the chronic comedications most commonly involved in PIPs. PPOs were observed in 61.4% of the patients. The leading omissions were insufficient influenza and pneumococcal vaccine coverage and inadequate bone health‐related treatments. The number of chronic comedications, female sex, neuropsychiatric disorders, and cancer diagnosis were risk factors for PIPs, whereas osteopenia and osteoporosis were risk factors for PPOs.ConclusionsA high prevalence of PIPs and PPOs was observed in our cohort of older PLWH. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive medication reviews in this population to reduce inappropriate medication use and address their specific and underserved therapeutic needs.
Fast or slow? Logistics way choices for perishable products under competition
Authors: Fu Fang , Pei Mengying , Xing Wei , Zhou Yongsheng 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study investigates a logistics game where two competing shippers of perishable products may choose between fast and slow logistics ways. The fast logistics way allows a shipper to retain better delivered product quality, whereas the slow one provides a cost advantage. The two shippers sell high‐ and low‐quality products, respectively. We find that the equilibria of the logistics game are determined by the initial qualities of the two products, the differences in the transportation times, and the unit logistics costs of the two logistics ways. Furthermore, a large difference in transportation times enables the high‐quality shipper to select the fast logistics way but the low‐quality shipper to choose the slow logistics. In this way, the high‐quality shipper can benefit from the large difference in delivered product qualities, whereas the low‐quality shipper alleviates the pressure of competition. By contrast, when the unit logistics cost of the fast logistics way is sufficiently high, a small difference in transportation times stimulates the high‐quality shipper to use the slow logistics way but the low‐quality shipper to adopt the fast logistics. The high‐quality shipper may seek the benefit from an increase in demand, whereas the low‐quality shipper should narrow the difference in delivered product qualities. Finally, we find that faster logistics or higher initial product quality is beneficial to the high‐quality shipper, whereas slower logistics or lower initial product quality may be optimal for the low‐quality shipper. These findings offer useful insights for managers to choose their logistics ways.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe use of primary healthcare and health promotion services is low among immigrants compared with native citizens. Immigrants are at risk of developing chronic diseases due to genetics, nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle. Registered nurses play an integral role in teaching, counselling for a healthy lifestyle and care coordination in primary healthcare.AimWe aimed to explore the perceptions of registered nurses on healthy lifestyle counselling for preventing type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases among immigrants in the primary healthcare setting.DesignWe performed a qualitative descriptive study using focus group interviews.MethodsData were collected with semi‐structured focus group interviews with a total of 23 registered nurses working in primary healthcare. We recruited the participants by using the purposive sampling method in the primary healthcare setting of four municipalities in Finland. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed with qualitative inductive content analysis.ResultsThe participants' perceptions were related to (1) uniform counselling practice for both immigrants and native citizens, (2) challenges in counselling immigrants, (3) understanding cultural factors influencing immigrant counselling, (4) the need to improve immigrant counselling and (5) utilizing insights from practical experience to improve the counselling service.ConclusionsDeveloping a culturally sensitive health promotion service is suggested to support the health of immigrants. Moreover, both migrant communities and healthcare professionals should be involved in co‐designing and implementing health promotion projects through a community‐based participatory approach.ImpactOur study contributes to healthcare practice and management by underscoring the need for culturally tailored health promotion services for the at‐risk group of immigrants in primary healthcare. Cultural competence in nursing education needs to be reinforced. The provided recommendations inform researchers and policymakers about the health disparities and health needs of immigrants.Public ContributionHealthcare professionals were consulted in the study design.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this review was to compare various types of restorations used in children and young adults affected with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) to determine the most effective restorative treatment.MethodsThis systematic review included randomized controlled trials, retrospective and prospective cohorts conducted on children and young adults diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta and written in French or English. A systematic search was conducted using four databases, namely Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE via PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus, using a selection of MeSH terms: “Amelogenesis Imperfecta,” “Therapeutics,” “Treatment Outcome,” “Adult, young,” “Child,” “Dental Restoration, Permanent,” “Dental Restoration, Temporary,” and “Esthetics, Dental.”ResultsOut of 138 articles identified in the initial search, four articles met all the inclusion criteria. The results showed that ceramic restorations had better quality scores and longevity compared to other restorations.ConclusionCeramic restorations could be considered the restorative treatment modality of choice for AI‐affected children and young adults. However, more high‐quality clinical trials involving young patients affected with AI are required to evaluate and compare the outcomes of different restorative approaches.Clinical SignificanceYoung patients affected with amelogenesis imperfecta usually suffer from low self‐esteem, psychological problems and social avoidance, caused by the alteration of teeth such as discoloration, sensitivity, fractures and reduced size. For the dentist, selecting the appropriate restorative treatment for AI in young patients could be a veritable challenge. Therefore, it is important to have an evidence‐based modality. For this reason, in this review, the different restorative approaches used in AI‐affected young patients were compared to recommend the most effective treatment.

AbstractThe Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is a critically endangered aquatic fish. Health monitoring and welfare assessments are critical for the conservation of Chinese sturgeon. In this study, biochemical parameters of serum and skin mucus in Chinese sturgeon were examined to evaluate the potential biomarkers. Serum and mucous samples were obtained from Chinese sturgeon, and the levels of total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), lactic acid (LD), acid phosphatase (ACP), lysozyme (LYZ), glucose (GLU), and cortisol were determined. The concentrations of ALT, AST, cortisol, and LYZ were significantly higher in the mucous group than those in the serum group (p < 0.05). In addition, the concentrations of ALP, ACP, LD, LDH, CK, and TP were significantly higher level in the serum group than those in the mucous group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the correlations between serum and mucous biochemical parameters were established. Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between serum and skin mucous markers (ACP, cortisol, and LYZ). AST versus ALT in serum and mucus showed a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01). A significant positive correlation was found between cortisol and CK in mucus (p < 0.01). Moreover, LD versus LDH in serum showed a significant but weak positive correlation (p < 0.01). Principal component analysis revealed a complete separation between the serum and mucous groups, with the biomarkers that contributed the most being ALP, TP, ALT, and AST. This study provides baseline data and reference intervals for serum and mucous biochemical parameters in presumably healthy Chinese sturgeons. The current study has important implications for the development of conservation strategies and the conservation status of critically endangered species.
Cinnamon essential oil/inulin inclusion complexes: Physicochemical, rheological, thermal, morphological, and antimicrobial properties

Published: January 2024

AbstractCinnamon essential oil (CEO), an excellent source of active antimicrobial compounds, has a strong flavor and extreme volatility, which limits its application in the food industry. The objective of this study was to encapsulate CEO into inulin (INL) by freeze‐drying at selected concentrations (10%–20% w/w). Encapsulates containing 15% CEO exhibited the maximum encapsulation efficiency (63.30%). The concentrations of CEO significantly influenced the melting of encapsulates and their melt rheology. Oscillatory rheology data displayed abnormalities in the rheograms with increasing CEO concentrations in encapsulates. X‐ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy peaks demonstrated the formation of successful encapsulations. The cracks on the encapsulated surface were visualized through SEM, and a variation in topography was quantified by atomic force microscopy measurements. The INL/CEO encapsulates demonstrated antimicrobial activity against selected pathogens, namely Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes. The produced encapsulates have the potential to be used as intermediary products for food, pharmaceuticals, and packaging.Practical applicationsEncapsulates effectively retain the bioactive compounds of essential oils in a complex and release them through controlled mechanisms. These encapsulates have significant industrial applications in active packaging, flavor retention, and pharmaceutics.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAimsTo explore whether music intervention improves the quality of life (QOL) of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to evaluate its impact on patients' symptoms of depression/anxiety and fatigue.MethodsThis systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The databases PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and EMBASE were searched from inception to September 30, 2022. The search strategy used a combination of the keywords “music” and “hematopoietic stem cell transplantation” or “HSCT.” The outcomes assessed were QOL, depression and anxiety, and fatigue. Pooled standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to compare the outcomes between the music intervention and control groups. Heterogeneity across the studies was assessed using a chi‐square‐based test, and the I2 and Q statistics.ResultsMeta‐analysis of the included study population showed that music intervention for patients undergoing HSCT was associated with patients' improved QOL, and resulted in reduced depression/anxiety and fatigue compared to patients without music intervention.ConclusionMusic intervention benefits HSCT outcomes, including better QOL, less depression/anxiety, and less fatigue postoperatively. Future trials with larger samples are still warranted to strengthen the evidence supporting the benefits of music intervention in this patient population.
Why Gaps Matter—A Negative Hermeneutical Approach to the Reconciliation Process in the Diocese of British Columbia Based on the Example of Bishop Logan's “Sacred Journey”
Authors: Wolff Edda 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTThis essay delves into the utilization of a negative hermeneutical approach, focusing on gaps, tensions, and the absence of elements, to enrich our comprehension of reconciliation efforts. It posits that this method aids in discerning more and less appropriate approaches to reconciliation processes. Negative hermeneutics serves as both a technique and an ongoing journey of exploration, self‐assessment, and understanding our connection with otherness. By critically engaging with perspectives, it prompts deeper questions and fosters a heightened awareness of the limitations inherent in one's viewpoint. Drawing from examples within the ongoing “Reconciliation and Beyond” initiative of the diocese of British Columbia, specifically Bishop Logan's “Sacred Journey,” the essay illustrates how this approach holds potential. It demonstrates how a focus on negative aspects—those initially resistant to conventional academic scrutiny, like silence and materiality—offers valuable insights into critical practices and academic implications. Furthermore, the essay analyses how a hermeneutical process involving receiving, deconstructing, and recreating can introduce innovative perspectives for understanding reconciliation efforts.
From agglomeration to dispersion: How does China's noncapital functions' relief affect regional development?
Authors: Yuan Bo , Jing Kecen , Liu Yuhai 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAgglomeration economies can bring about positive externalities, while excessive agglomeration backfires. However, existing literature on place‐based policies mainly focuses on policies that enhance agglomeration economies. Few studies discuss dispersion policies coping with the negative externality from excessive agglomeration. Owing to the unclear effects of dispersion policies, we conduct empirical research on the noncapital function relief (NCFR) policy, which is implemented to decrease the agglomeration in Beijing, the capital of China, and promote the development of surrounding areas. Exploiting the difference‐in‐difference model, we find that the NCFR policy implementation significantly facilitates the economic growth of the surrounding areas of Beijing. Changes in the distribution of new firm entry and population are two main channels, while no significant effect on the productivity is found. Furthermore, areas that are less‐developed could benefit more from the NCFR policy. Our findings may enlighten other developing countries in urban economic management.

AbstractPurposeThere are an increasing number of techniques and tools to improve the capacity for children to relay their perceptions of their symptom experience while undergoing blood and marrow transplant (BMT). Network analysis (NA) is a tool that can illustrate associations between symptoms and the distress they cause. We aimed to develop a biopsychosocial assessment clinical analytic tool to examine symptom relationships for children undergoing BMT to find actionable relationships for intervention to improve clinical outcomes including mood.Design and MethodsThis pilot study used an analytical mobile application tool to support a wide scope of 15 biopsychosocial symptom distress levels and five mood assessments. Children recorded their symptom distress and mood using the app. NA was used to explore relationships between symptom distress and mood.ResultsFour children, 11–14 years old, undergoing BMT used the app daily during hospitalization. We found a strong presence of emotional distress and its associations symptom distress and mood. Multiple symptom associations were identified including associations between the set of symptoms difficulty breathing and fever (0.557), sad and worried (0.429). Of note, pain distress had a strong capacity to bridge other symptoms and was connected directly to many symptoms.Practice ImplicationsWe found the significance of patient struggles with emotional and symptom distress and the importance of this relationship to other clinical outcomes. This provides valuable insights and an improved understanding of the child's symptoms. Our findings support early assessment, intervention, and improved symptom communication to enhance sense of well‐being and the child's care experience.
The lithologic diversity of the Moon recorded in lunar meteorites Northwest Africa 7611 and 10480

Published: January 2024

AbstractNorthwest Africa (NWA) 7611/10480 are lunar regolith breccia meteorites, composed of mineral fragments and various clasts including mare basalts, volcanic glasses, gabbroic lithologies, and a diverse variety of highland materials (ferroan anorthosite, Mg‐suite, magnesian anorthosite, and alkali suite rocks) as well as different subvarieties of impact melt breccia. The Apollo two‐component mixing model calculation reveals that the NWA 7611 source region contains 58 wt% mare materials and 42 wt% highland components, but the estimated mare components in NWA 10480 have a higher abundance (66 wt%). The predominantly very low‐Ti (VLT) composition in both fine‐grained basaltic and coarse‐grained gabbroic lithologies indicates a provenance associated with a thick lava flow or a single magmatic system. The co‐occurrence of zoning patterns and fine‐scale exsolution lamellae in pyroxene debris supports a cryptomare deposit as the best candidate source. Phosphate Pb–Pb ages in matrix fragments, impact melt breccia, and basaltic clast indicate that the breccia NWA 7611 records geological events spanning approximately 4305–3769 Ma, which is consistent with the ages of ancient lunar VLT volcanism and the products of basin‐forming impacts on the lunar nearside. The youngest reset age at ~3.2 Ga is potentially related to the strong shock lithification process of breccia NWA 7611. Moreover, the similar petrology, texture, geochemistry, cosmic‐ray exposure data, and crystallization ages support that basaltic component in Yamato (Y)‐793274, and Queen Alexandra Range (QUE) 94281, NWA 4884, and NWA 7611 clan came from the same basalt flow.
