Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Wildland firefighters are likely to experience heightened risks to safety, health, and overall well-being as changing climates increase the frequency and intensity of exposure to natural hazards. Working at the intersection of natural resource management and emergency response, wildland firefighters have multidimensional careers that often incorporate elements from disparate fields to accomplish the tasks of suppressing and preventing wildfires. Thus, they have distinctly different job duties than other firefighters (e.g., structural firefighters) and experience environmental health risks that are unique to their work. We conducted a systematic scoping review of scientific literature that addresses wildland firefighter environmental health. Our goal was to identify studies that specifically addressed wildland firefighters (as opposed to firefighters in a broader sense), geographic and demographic trends, sample sizes, patterns in analysis, and common categories of research.

Results
Most studies have clustered in a few highly developed countries, and in the United States within California and Idaho. Many studies fail to consider the impact that demographic factors may have on their results. The number of studies published annually is increasing and themes are broadening to include social and psychological topics; however, most authors in the field have published an average of < 3 articles.

Conclusions
We identify three areas that we believe are imminent priorities for researchers and policymakers, including a lack of diversity in study geography and demography, a need for more complex and interactive analyses of exposure, and prioritization of wildland firefighters in research funding and focus.

AbstractBioactive compounds in food and beverages, including fruit juices, are susceptible to degradation or oxidation during processing and storage. This vulnerability can lead to a reduction in nutritional value and overall quality of the products. The objective of this research is to explore the potential of encapsulation techniques in preserving and enhancing the nutritional value of fruit juices. The encapsulation of natural compounds, enzymes, and probiotics is seen as a promising approach to fortifying fruit juices, improving their preservation and processing of these encapsulated natural compounds as additives in food packaging. The study involves a comprehensive review of various encapsulation techniques and materials used for encapsulating bioactive compounds. It also investigates the current applications of encapsulated natural products in the preservation of food and beverages. The encapsulation of bioactive compounds has shown the potential in improving the nutritional value and functional properties of fruit juice products and foods. It has also been found to enhance the preservation and processing of these products, contributing to their overall quality and safety. Encapsulation techniques offer a promising avenue for revolutionizing the fruit juice industry by enhancing the nutritional value and shelf life of products. They also present an opportunity for the development of more functional food products. Despite the promising results, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of encapsulation, determine the optimal conditions for encapsulating different ingredients, and assess the effects of encapsulation on the quality and safety of fruit juices. Future studies should focus on these areas to further advance the application of encapsulation techniques in the food and beverage industry.

Underwater inertial error rectification with limited acoustic observations
Authors: Tang Hongqiong , He Hongyang , Li Fangneng , Xu Jiangning 
Published: February 2024

AbstractUnderwater inertial navigation is particularly difficult for the long-durance operations as many navigation systems such global satellite navigation systems are unavailable. The acoustic signal is a marvelous choice for underwater inertial error rectification due to its underwater penetration capability. However, the traditional Acoustic Positioning Systems (APS) are expensive and incapable of positioning with limited acoustic observations. Two novel underwater inertial error rectification algorithms with limited acoustic observations are proposed. The first one is the single acoustic-beacon Range-only Matching Aided Navigation (RMAN) method, which is inspired by matching navigation without reference maps and presented for the first time. The second is the improved single acoustic-beacon Virtual Long Baseline (VLBL) method, which considers the impact of indicated relative position increments on virtual beacon reconstruction. Both RMAN and improved VLBL are further developed when multi acoustic-beacons are available, named mAB-RMAN and mAB-VLBL. The comprehensive simulations and field investigations were conducted. The results demonstrated that the proposed methods achieved excellent accuracy and stability compared to the baseline, specifically, the mAB-RMAN and mAB-VLBL can reduce the inertial error by more than 90% and 98% when using single and double acoustic-beacons, respectively. These proposed techniques will provide new perspectives for underwater positioning, navigation, and timing.

Abstract
Background
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an emerging critical medical condition among adolescents and young adults worldwide. They use different methods for expressing their emotional needs. The aim of this study was to identify the methods of NSSI used by adolescents and young adults who presented with different psychiatric disorders, and their utilized functions.

Subjects/materials and methods
A case–control study was done on 100 late adolescent and young adult patients who attended Suez Canal University with psychiatric disorders. Sociodemographic data was obtained then they were assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Brief Non-suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Tool.

Results
Among the case group, 54% used scratching for self-harm while 36% used cutting. The most common body areas were hands (44%) and arms (42%). Eighty percent of the case group endorsed non-suicidal self-harm for dealing with anger, while 78% to cope with uncomfortable feelings and 72% to relieve stress with no statistically significant difference between males or females, nor among psychiatric comorbidities.

Conclusion
The most common method of NSSI was scratching and it was followed by cutting and banging. The most common body areas were hands and arms. Patients endorsed NSSI for various motives and several functions. However, Items on the automatic negative reinforcement scales were the most common functions, especially when dealing with anger.

Abstract

Pearl millet (
Pennisetum glaucum
[L.] R. Br.) is a drought-resilient and nutritious staple food crop widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions. Worldwide, pearl millet is ranked the 6th most widely produced cereal crop after wheat, rice, maize, barley, and sorghum, with a total production of 30.5 million tons on 32.1 million hectares. In Burkina Faso, it is the 3rd widely cultivated crop next to sorghum and maize, with a mean yield of 0.8 ton ha
−1
, far below the potential yield of 3.0 tons ha
−1
attributable to various production challenges. Among the production constraints, the parasitic weed
Striga
species, particularly
S. hermonthica
is endemic and causes up to 80% yield losses under heavy infestation. Different control methods (e.g., cultural practices, chemicals and bio-herbicides) have been recommended, but they have been largely ineffective due to diverse and complex problems, including the life cycle, seed production, and prolonged seed dormancy of
S. hermonthica
; poor access and cost of implementation. Breeding for host plant resistance presents a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and affordable method for smallholder farmers to control and reduce
Striga
infestations and improve pearl millet yields. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to present the impact of
S. hermonthica
damage on pearl millet production and productivity and assess the effectiveness of different management methods of
S. hermonthica
with an emphasis on host plant resistance. The first section of the review assesses the impact of
Striga
infestation on pearl millet production, followed by the developmental stages of
Striga
,
Striga
infestation and damage management strategies, breeding for
Striga
resistance and other
Striga
control methods. The paper summarises genetic resources, new breeding technologies, and innovations for the precision and speed breeding of
Striga-
resistant cultivars. The review will guide the use of the best breeding strategies and accelerate the breeding of new pearl millet cultivars that are best-performing and resistant to
S. hermonthica
to reduce damage incurred by
Striga
infestations on farmers’ fields in Burkina Faso and related agro-ecologies.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
The World Health Organization (WHO) call for cervical cancer elimination includes increasing global cervical screening coverage. HPV-based self-collection (HPV-SC) is a promising screening model for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and while digital technology, such as cellphones, can be used to streamline HPV-SC, there is limited data on digital technology penetration in LMICs. Determining women’s cellphone access is critical to understanding the feasibility of using cellphones to support HPV-SC.

Methods
This study is a secondary analysis of a larger clinical trial. Participants of a cluster-randomized trial comparing HPV-SC models in Uganda completed a survey, including questions about demographics, cellphone access/ownership, prior cervical cancer screening (CCS), and willingness to receive CCS information by text. A logistic regression model was used to determine adjusted rates of cellphone ownership using survey variables as factors.

Results
Of 2019 participants, 76.1% owned a cellphone. In non-cellphone owners (n = 483), 82.4% had daily cellphone access and 7.3% had no access. Compared to non-cellphone owners, cellphone owners were significantly older, more educated, closer to major health centers, more likely to have prior CCS, and more willing to receive a CCS text. In the logistic regression model, the aforementioned variables were all significantly associated with the odds of owning a cellphone.

Conclusions
As health care systems consider adopting HPV-SC, it is imperative to understand digital technology penetration. The majority of participants were cellphone owners and were willing to receive CCS information by text; however, significant socioeconomic and demographic differences remain between cellphone owners and non-owners. Further investigation is needed to understand whether HPV-SC using cellphones is feasible in similar settings.

Cognitive and mental health trajectories of COVID-19: Role of hospitalisation and long-COVID symptoms
Authors: Vakani Krupa , Ratto Martina , Sandford-James Anna , Antonova Elena , Kumari Veena 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
There is considerable evidence of cognitive impairment post COVID-19, especially in individuals with long-COVID symptoms, but limited research objectively evaluating whether such impairment attenuates or resolves over time, especially in young and middle-aged adults.

Methods
Follow-up assessments (T2) of cognitive function (processing speed, attention, working memory, executive function, memory) and mental health were conducted in 138 adults (18–69 years) who had been assessed 6 months earlier (T1). Of these, 88 had a confirmed history of COVID-19 at T1 assessment (≥20 days post-diagnosis) and were also followed-up on COVID-19-related symptoms (acute and long-COVID); 50 adults had no known COVID-19 history at any point up to their T2 assessment.

Results
From T1 to T2, a trend-level improvement occurred in intra-individual variability in processing speed in the COVID, relative to the non-COVID group. However, longer response/task completion times persisted in participants with COVID-19-related hospitalisation relative to those without COVID-19-related hospitalisation and non-COVID controls. There was a significant reduction in long-COVID symptom load, which correlated with improved executive function in non-hospitalised COVID-19 participants. The COVID group continued to self-report poorer mental health, irrespective of hospitalisation history, relative to non-COVID group.

Conclusions
Although some cognitive improvement has occurred over a 6-month period in young and middle-aged COVID-19 survivors, cognitive impairment persists in those with a history of COVID-19-related hospitalisation and/or long-COVID symptoms. Continuous follow-up assessments are required to determine whether cognitive function improves or possibly worsens, over time in hospitalised and long-COVID participants.

Authors: Jin Ruijia , Addison Sean , Kitchin Vanessa , Golden Daniel W. , Tam Vincent , Ingledew Paris-Ann 
Published: February 2024

PURPOSE Medical oncology and medical education (ME) have both expanded exponentially over the past 50 years; thus, it is important to understand the current status of postgraduate medical oncology education and develop ways to advance this field. This study undertakes a scoping review of ME literature in medical oncology to inform future scholarship in this area. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, ERIC, and Web of Science were searched to find peer-reviewed English language articles on postgraduate ME in medical oncology published from 2009 to 2020. Established scoping review methodologies were used in study design; articles were classified by specialty, learner training level, region of authorship, institution type, year of publication, journal type, study methodology, and research topic. Curriculum intervention, scholarship, and domain(s) of physician competency were also assessed. The results were interpreted using descriptive statistics and collated using predetermined conceptual frameworks. RESULTS A total of 2,959 references were initially found across four databases. After title and abstract screening, 305 articles remained; after full-text review, 144 articles were included in final analysis. Postgraduate medical oncology education research is increasing, with the majority of articles published in North America. Quantitative studies were most common, primarily survey approaches. For physician competencies, professionalism and medical expertise comprised the large majority of article focuses, whereas very few articles addressed leadership or health advocacy. Curriculum development, professional development, and communication skills were dominant research themes while no articles discussed teacher training. CONCLUSION Although areas such as professionalism and communication skills are well-studied, medical oncology ME research is lacking in leadership, health advocacy, and teacher training. This study provides valuable guidance for future ME research in medical oncology and establishes a benchmark to examine changes in educational scholarship over time.
Can vitamin D deficiency affect the development of cancer? - review of the literature

Introduction and purpose:
Over recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in cases of cancer around the world. At the same time, there is the problem of vitamin D deficiency, which may affect up to one-quarter of the population. The aim of this article is to link these two epidemics and organize knowledge about vitamin D and its multidirectional effects related to many diseases, especially cancer.
State of knowledge:
Many scientific works have proven that vitamin D has a beneficial effect not only on the known calcium-phosphate metabolism. Researchers emphasize its pleiotropic effect on many organs and systems in the human body, and thus on many diseases, including cancer. Studies show that vitamin D modulates the expression of many different miRNAs specific to various types of cancer. The results of in vitro and in vivo studies showed the effect of calcitriol on cell growth and development. It influences processes such as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, strengthens the immune system, and reduces oxidative stress.
Summary:
Based on accumulated research, we can conclude that vitamin D presumably regulates the entire process of tumorigenesis, from initiation to metastasis and cell-microenvironment interactions. However, some studies do not confirm these data or provide contradictory results. For this reason, it is necessary to deepen research on this topic in order to establish specific recommendations, therapeutic and preventive plans. However, vitamin D and its role in the pathogenesis of many diseases should not be underestimated. In cases of low vitamin D concentration in the body, its supplementation will be reasonable, considering the functional identity of this source compared to sun exposure or diet.

Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION: Dermatological diseases are a common clinical problem in medical practice. Various groups of medications are used in their treatment. Psychiatric disorders also present a significant challenge for modern medicine, some of them may have iatrogenic origins. This study analyzes drugs used in dermatological diseases and their impact on mental health.
REVIEW METHODS: This review of the literature collects data from PubMed and Google Scholar about medications used for treating dermatological conditions and their potential impact on mental health.
THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE: Acyclovir, valacyclovir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, tetracyclines, retinoids, glucocorticoids, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, dapsone and methotrexate are mentioned in the literature as possible, but rare causes of the onset /exacerbation of various psychiatric symptoms. Comparing to general population, patients with skin disorders suffer more often from depression and anxiety. Those two diseases are mentioned most frequently in the context of psychiatric side effect of drugs discussed in the article.
SUMMARY: Psychiatric side effects of drugs used in dermatology are not common. However, given the rising incidence of mental health disorders worldwide, it is important to be aware of them.
Migration and Innovation: How Foreign R&D Hires Shape Firm-Level Exploration in Their Host Country
Authors: Uhlbach Wolf-Hendrik , Anckaert Paul-Emmanuel 
Published: February 2024

Prior research ascribes an important role to highly skilled immigrants in the production and diffusion of knowledge. However, little is known about their contributions to shaping the type and direction of organizational innovation. We aim to shed light on this question by investigating how newly hired foreign research and development (R&D) workers affect firm-level exploration. We argue that foreign R&D hires enable firms to overcome local search by making them aware of and providing access to novel knowledge tied to their home countries. We test this using a sample of 376 Danish R&D-active firms over the period from 2001 to 2013. Our findings reveal that newly hired foreign R&D workers contribute significantly more to exploration than other types of R&D workers within the firm. Moreover, we find support for the proposed mechanism and show that knowledge from the home countries of foreign hires shapes firms’ inventive output. Our results further suggest that the effect of foreign R&D hires is stronger for firms with a limited international search orientation and those with an incumbent R&D workforce with a shorter organizational tenure. These findings offer insights into a potential mechanism through which foreign R&D workers can shape firm-level exploration and the organizational contingencies that influence this relationship.

QUANTO VALE UM TERRITÓRIO? MARCAS DO DESASTRE DE FUNDÃO NA PAISAGEM DE MARIANA
Authors: Xavier Celiane Souza , Teixeira Maria Cristina Villefort 
Published: February 2024

No âmago dos debates que propõem discutir os efeitos das maquinações capitalistas sobre os territórios, estão sublinhados os desastres sociotecnológicos e ambientais que têm na estruturação sistêmica do capital sua principal origem. Não é incomum, apesar disso, que as análises dessas repercussões sejam desatentas aos reflexos intangíveis das imposições capitalistas ao redor do mundo. Neste artigo síntese da dissertação da autora, pretendemos identificar, a partir do rompimento da barragem de Fundão, de propriedade da Vale Mineração S.A., da Samarco Mineração S.A. e da BHP Billiton – ocorrido em 05 de novembro de 2015 em Mariana-MG –, os custos materiais e imateriais da sobrevalorização de um modelo econômico fadado à autodestruição. Para tanto, teremos na Paisagem da Destruição o parâmetro de análise que permitirá, por meio de seu amadurecimento conceitual, compreender as consequências de um desastre-crime que perdura ao longo do tempo contrastando com a retomada econômico-produtiva dos agentes mineradores nos territórios atingidos.
