Published: January 2025

AbstractObjectiveThis study examined rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among parents of at least one minor child compared to nonparents in prison, and, among parents, mothers compared to fathers. We then assessed associations between ACEs and seven parenting variables (e.g., contact with children, interest in parenting classes).BackgroundHigh rates of adverse and traumatic childhood experiences are documented among general prison samples. Little is known about ACEs specifically among parents in prison and possible impacts on parenting.MethodParticipants were 1,157 parents of at least one minor child (919 fathers, 198 mothers) and 549 nonparents from adult prisons in a Midwestern U.S. state. Measures were part of a larger needs and responsivity survey in 2021.ResultsOverall, 86% of individuals endorsed at least one ACE. Parents and nonparents reported similar levels of ACEs. Fathers endorsing more ACEs reported more challenges in parenting across six of seven variables. No statistically significant associations were found for mothers.ConclusionFindings underscore the need for both general and parenting‐focused prison programs and practices to address the ubiquity of childhood trauma among those incarcerated.ImplicationsPrison‐based parenting interventions can be designed and tailored to respond to and disrupt intergenerational patterns of trauma, especially for fathers.

ABSTRACTHuman activities have significantly altered coastal ecosystems worldwide. The phenomenon of shifting baselines syndrome (SBS) complicates our understanding of these changes, masking the true scale of human impacts. This study investigates the long‐term ecological effects of anthropogenic activities on New Zealand's coastal ecosystems over 800 years using fish otolith microchemical profiling and dynamic time warping across an entire stock unit. Results reveal a shift in snapper (Chrysophrys auratus; Sparidae) habitat‐use behaviour, transitioning from low‐salinity estuarine environments to higher‐salinity habitats, correlating with ongoing land‐use changes. This shift coincided with New Zealand's localised Industrial Revolution, which served as a tipping point for widespread ecosystem transformation. By comparing current coastal fish movement profiles with historical baselines, we provide evidence to address SBS and guide conservation strategies. Re‐establishing pre‐industrial habitat‐use behaviours in snapper will indicate successful habitat restoration, promoting overall ecosystem connectivity and resilience. Our findings enable more effective habitat restoration measures and sustainable management practices, informing policies for maintaining coastal biodiversity and ecosystem function.
Underrepresentation of Women in Universities: Seeking Answers in the Bedrooms of Women Academics

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThree decades after the implementation of gender equality policies in Europe, women academics continue to languish in the ivory basements of higher education centers. A growing body of literature on the participation of women academics in universities has identified reproductive work as a factor that may explain their low levels of representation. Recent research on the effects of COVID‐19 on academic work has shed light on the impact of this “private matter” on the lives and academic careers of women and on the scientific system. The central role of reproductive work, in which it is assumed that women and men participate unequally in the care and attention to children, excludes other “private matters” that may help explain the underrepresentation of women in higher education institutions. Here, through the narrative reflection of a female academic who, for over a decade, held a high position at her university, we share the “private matter” that ultimately led to her divorce. By introducing women's voices into the debate on their underrepresentation in universities, we provide a way to recognize ways in which culture “does gender” and to raise awareness about forms of gender that, although silenced, shape our lives (gender in disguise). This autobiographical story identifies four themes that challenge power structures through recognizing silenced stories and promoting honest discussion about the true barriers and failures that persist in universities: the maternal ideal, the retraditionalization of gender, postfeminist “we can have it all” rhetoric, and the shame and fear faced by female academics.
Understanding how and why users might use NHS repositories: A mixed methods study
Authors: Holland Matt , Rawson Beth 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundThere is little evidence on the use or potential use of NHS repositories within the UK.MethodsA mixed methods (quantitative/qualitative) study of two repositories: amber—the home of ambulance service research, and East Midlands Evidence Repository (EMER). A structured online questionnaire was distributed via the repository home page, and promoted via social media, email networks, and lists. Next, three research leaders were interviewed in person online (see Appendix , supporting information). Transcripts of the recorded interviews were summarised using ChatGPT 3.5.ResultsFrom the 148 questionnaire responses, 38% of respondents had used an NHS repository. Librarian activities were key to encouraging repository use (that is, searching and depositing materials). ResearchGate was the most widely used alternative. Perceived benefits of using repositories included open access to materials, and knowledge sharing with colleagues. Users generally did not know the deposit process, and over 50% of respondents were unaware of Green Open Access.DiscussionBuilding greater awareness, and institutional support is key to increasing repository usage. Marketing activities and educating researchers about the benefits of engaging with the repository are fundamental.ConclusionNHS librarians need to market NHS repositories using principles of knowledge management and ensure that the grey literature of research and evaluation reports in repositories is better used.

Published: January 2025

AbstractIntroductionThe HIV/AIDS epidemic, with 85.6 million infections and 40.4 million AIDS‐related deaths globally, remains a critical public health challenge. Current diagnostic methods, primarily fourth‐generation immunoassays, have limitations due to their long window periods, and most viral load assays require centralized testing protocols that result in delays, especially in remote regions.Nucleic Acid TestingPoint‐of‐care (POC) nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) presents a transformative approach by reducing the window period for detection to one week and significantly shortening turnaround times for viral load monitoring.DiscussionThis review highlights the clinical utility of POC NAAT for acute HIV infection diagnosis, its role in timely combination antiretroviral therapy adjustments, and its potential to reduce the basic reproduction number (R0), a critical threshold for suppressing the epidemic.ConclusionBy improving early detection and facilitating faster clinical decisions, POC NAAT enhances the effectiveness of HIV prevention and treatment programmes, particularly in high‐risk and remote communities, and supports the global effort to achieve the ambitious UNAIDS 95‐95‐95 targets.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTSilage soybeans subjected to water stress show symptoms as if it had been subjected to drought stress due to lack of rainfall. Understanding how water stress impacts crop yield is crucial for developing effective irrigation strategies in drought‐inclined areas. This study investigates the relationship between silage soybean forage yield and water stress indices, specifically the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) and the Water Deficit Index (WDI). In addition, water‐yield relations were also determined. The study was carried out in a randomised complete block design with four irrigation levels (S100, S75, S50, S25), three replications, and a period of 2 years. At the end of the study, crop evapotranspiration (ET), irrigation (I), water use efficiency (WUE) and forage yield decreased as irrigation water levels were reduced from S100 to S25. ET was found to be between 501 and 755 mm, WUE was found to be between 2.61 and 3.58 kg m−3, irrigation water use efficiency was found to be between 2.53 and 2.97 kg m−3, forage yield was found to be between 15.4 and 26.2 t ha−1, WDI varied between 0.16 and 0.5, and CWSI ranged between 0.34 and 0.90. The results revealed that silage soybean should be irrigated when the average CWSI value is nearly 0.36 and the average WDI value is nearly 0.26 for high yield. The rate of decrease in forage yield from S100 to S25 was compared with the rate of increase in WDI and CWSI. In the first year of the study, there was a 45% decrease in forage yield between S100 and S25, while CWSI increased by 65%. However, this situation was 40% in WDI. In the second year of the study, there was a 38% decrease in forage yield from S100 to S25, while CWSI increased by 33% and WDI increased by 26%. The relationship between forage yield and stress indices is inversely proportional. The fact that the values in CWSI were proportionally higher than WDI suggested that the calculations were made without taking into account the soil temperatures during the measurement. Water stress indices were correlated with forage yield and regression analysis was performed. Although relations of forage yield and water stress indices showed slightly higher correlations with WDI, this could not strongly suggest that WDI was more accurate than CWSI. In order to obtain clearer results in the comparison studies of water stress indices, it is recommended to carry out studies with different varieties for more than 2 years.

ABSTRACTAimTo describe and compare the Evidence‐Based HealthCare (EBHC) competence of Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs), and the factors associated with it in Finland and Singapore.DesignA descriptive and analytical cross‐sectional study.MethodsData were collected from APNs working in healthcare in Finland (n = 157) or Singapore (n = 99) between May 2023 and October 2023 using a self‐assessment instrument to measure EBHC competence (EBHC‐Comp‐APN) and an EBHC knowledge test. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, K‐mean cluster and multivariate analyses.ResultsThe self‐assessments of APNs working in Finland and Singapore regarding their EBHC competence level varied and three distinct profiles of APNs' EBHC competence were identified in both countries. The strongest EBHC competence was in ‘The Knowledge Needs Related to Global Health’, while the weakest in ‘Evidence Synthesis and Transfer’. The country‐specific differences were identified in factors associated with EBHC competence.ConclusionThe EBHC competencies of APNs vary widely and require planned and needs‐driven development. In connection with the development of EBHC competence, the factors related to competence should be considered country‐by‐country.Implications for the ProfessionThe APN's EBHC competence should be systematically developed considering the factors associated with and the current level of EBHC competence.ImpactThe level of EBHC competence of APNs and associated factors should be identified when developing their competence and role in collaboration with APNs, leaders of healthcare and education organisations and policy makers. In addition, research into APNs' EBHC competence should continue.Reporting MethodThe STROBE checklist was used in the reporting of the study.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAimThe aim of this study was to provide insights into how, through exploring goal‐setting interventions, a nursing team in geriatric rehabilitation might refine their patient‐centred strategies.DesignThe study design was participatory action research (PAR).MethodTeam members and nursing students, under the guidance of a facilitator, performed two PAR cycles. In the first cycle, the action phase consisted of preparing a multidisciplinary team meeting (MTM) with a patient. In the second cycle, based on the evaluation of the first, the participants worked with goals on a whiteboard in the patient's room. The data were collected in The Netherlands between February 2020 and June 2022. The data collection methods included the facilitator's logbook, observations, (group) interviews, charting activities and short surveys. Data analysis was conducted in weekly team sessions. The Guidelines for Best Practices in the Reporting of Participatory Action Research were followed.ResultsIn the first PAR cycle, the team learned that preparing an MTM with a patient did not enhance the patient's engagement in achieving their rehabilitation goals, but it was beneficial for the nurses' intermediate role between the patient and the multidisciplinary team. Clarity about responsibilities in the multidisciplinary team was a prerequisite for nurses to take on this role adequately. In the second PAR cycle, it became clear that working with a whiteboard in the patient's room had a positive effect on the patient's engagement in the rehabilitation process, and the nurses gained knowledge about a broader variety of professional rehabilitation domains.ConclusionThrough PAR, the nursing team learned two lessons: cooperating with patients through MTM preparation and working with whiteboards enhanced their patient‐centredness, but patients needed tangible goals to become engaged in their rehabilitation planning.Implications for the Profession and Patient Care

Prepare the multidisciplinary team meeting with the patient, as discussing rehabilitation goals can indirectly boost motivation by making older patients feel seen and heard, even if they seem unable to fully participate in the conversation.

Clarify responsibilities in the multidisciplinary geriatric rehabilitation team. This is a prerequisite for nurses to take on an advocacy role for patients in multidisciplinary team meetings.

To enhance patient‐centred care, consider working with tangible goals on a whiteboard in the patient's room.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTPancreatic cancer (PC) remains a significant contributor to global cancer mortality, with limited effective diagnostic and prognostic tools. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for PC diagnosis and prognosis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Studies reporting sensitivity, specificity or area under the curve (AUC) for miRNAs in PC diagnosis, as well as hazard ratios (HRs) for survival evaluations, were included. Data extraction and quality assessment followed PRISMA guidelines. Meta‐analyses were conducted using appropriate statistical methods. The protocol is registered in PROSPERO. Diagnostic analysis included 290 evaluations, revealing an overall AUC of 0.8226 for PC diagnosis. Subgroup analyses showed varying accuracies, with blood and tissue specimens yielding higher AUC values. Promising miRNAs with AUC values above 0.8 included miR‐320, miR‐1290, miR‐93, miR‐25, miR‐451, miR‐20, miR‐21, miR‐223 and miR‐122. Prognostic analysis encompassed 46 studies, indicating significant associations between miRNA expression and overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS). The combined HR for studies reporting OS HRs higher than one was 1.7613 (95% CI: 1.5394–2.0152, p < 0.0001; I2 = 81.7%). Notable miRNAs with prognostic significance included miR‐10, miR‐21 and miR‐221. Studies reporting OS HRs less than one had a pooled HR of 0.6805 (95% CI: 0.5862–0.7901, p < 0.0001; I2 = 65.4%). MiRNAs hold promise as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for PC. Blood and tissue specimens offer superior diagnostic accuracy, and several miRNAs show potential for predicting patient outcomes.

ABSTRACTAimTo elucidate risk factors associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in early‐gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Materials and MethodsA dataset of 385 early‐GDM cases from a prospective cohort was analyzed. Early‐GDM was diagnosed if one or more of the following criteria were met: fasting plasma glucose (PG) levels of 92–125 mg/dL, 1‐h PG levels ≥180 mg/dL, and 2‐h PG levels ≥153 mg/dL during a 75‐g oral glucose tolerance test before 20 weeks of gestation. Multivariate analysis was used to examine associations between candidate risk factors and a composite outcome of maternal and neonatal adverse events.ResultsPre‐pregnancy overweight/obesity (pre‐pregnancy body mass index [BMI] ≥25.0 kg/m2) was significantly associated with a higher risk of the composite outcome compared with normal weight (pre‐pregnancy BMI of 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), an adjusted risk ratio (aRR) of 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–1.93), and an adjusted risk difference (aRD) of 13.6% (95% CI: 2.6–24.6%). Compared with fasting PG levels below 92 mg/dL, levels between 95 and 125 mg/dL were associated with a significantly higher risk of the composite outcome, with an aRR and aRD of 1.42 (95% CI: 1.01–1.99) and 12.9% (95% CI: 0.3–25.5%), respectively.ConclusionsEarly‐GDM, combined with pre‐pregnancy overweight/obesity and/or fasting PG levels of 95–125 mg/dL, is associated with a higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes and should be prioritized for intervention.
Class Dynamics at the Margins: Capitalist Relations Among Shea Nut Collectors in Burkina Faso and Ghana
Authors: Questiaux Francois , Pouliot Mariève 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the increasing international demand for shea nuts has resulted in changes to the livelihoods of women collecting and processing these nuts in West Africa. Market integration of shea nut collectors affects social dynamics as capitalist relations and significant income differences among the collectors emerge. Using survey data, we establish a typology to describe shea nut collectors, based on the financial capital that they invest in shea and their other sources of income. We show that a small group of collector‐traders is able to benefit from the shea boom through the sale of shea nuts purchased from other collectors at a lower price. Conversely, a larger group of dedicated and diversified collectors are compelled to sell their nuts at a low price for their subsistence. This interdependence highlights capitalist relations, income gaps and social differentiation among the collectors. This process intersects with gendered access to ownership and income control. Our analysis challenges common assumptions about the potential of market integration to achieve win–win scenario and shows that unequal development is constitutive of such approaches. Despite the limited role of shea nut collection in household income, we argue that the social differentiation at play shares similarities with that observed for cash crops in other cases of agrarian change. We conclude by highlighting that shea nut collectors need to be perceived as a heterogeneous group, navigating the intricacies of capitalist market integration with different interests and opportunities.

ABSTRACTAimTo explore the meaning of adaptation after visceral transplantation in terms of patient experiences, symptoms, self‐efficacy, transplant‐specific and mental well‐being.DesignA convergent parallel mixed‐methods study, consisting of interviews and generic as well as transplant‐specific questionnaires. Results were integrated using meta‐inference.MethodsThe study comprises a population of 17 visceral transplant recipients in Scandinavia, 12 women and 5 men with a mean age of 40.6 years (range 19–63 years) and an average follow‐up of 9.4 years (range 0–25 years). Data were collected between May 2023 and January 2024 through open‐ended in‐depth interviews with 12 participants and analysed in accordance with phenomenological hermeneutics. Questionnaires from all 17 participants were analysed to measure transplant‐specific well‐being, symptoms, self‐efficacy as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms.ResultsBeing a visceral transplant recipient is a dynamic and life‐long adaptation process that comprises two distinct yet interconnected trajectories: coherence and endurance. Coherence involves the person's ability to make sense of their situation and find meaning despite the challenges and adversity of the chronic condition. In contrast, endurance involves a person's capacity to withstand hardship and endure unpleasant or difficult experiences. Both trajectories interact dynamically, influencing and reinforcing each other. Resilience based on coherence enabled acceptance and adjustment. Conversely, uncertainty, resignation and feeling unsupported resulted in a lack of acceptance, manifested as resistance. The challenge involved in adaptation was demonstrated by 47% showing borderline elevated or elevated levels of anxiety and 18% reporting symptoms of depression. Self‐efficacy varied considerably.ConclusionThe meaning of adaptation after visceral transplantation in terms of experiences, symptoms, transplant‐specific and mental well‐being is balancing between coherence and endurance facilitated by acceptance and hampered by resistance. The uncertainty inherent in being a visceral transplant recipient may lead to heightened self‐rated anxiety symptoms and diminished self‐efficacy.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareWhat problem did the study adress?This study adresses the challenges involved in being a visceral transplant recipient and adapting to life after a visceral transplantation.What were the main findings?Reporting MethodCOREQ checklist (consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research).Patient or Public ContributionNo Patient or Public Contribution was organised.
