ABSTRACTBorderline personality disorder (BPD) has a strong impact not only on patients' lives but also on their families. The presence of an invalidating environment is one of the key factors in the etiology of BPD. This study evaluated the impact of the Family connections (FC) program on burden, grief, and other clinical variables in 202 caregivers and identified the profiles of participants who improved/deteriorated their levels of burden and grief. Findings from generalized linear mixed models showed significant reductions in burden, grief, depression, global psychological distress, and suppressed and expressed anger after FC intervention. Two classification trees were applied to test whether improvements in burden and grief were associated with age, gender and the improvements in other clinical variables. Caregivers reporting reduced depression were more likely to improve in both burden and grief. Moreover, younger participants showing increased depression had a 72.7% probability of being part of the improvement in burden and a 66.7% probability of being part of the improvement in grief. A decrease in depression and having a younger age were associated with positive gains for caregiving burden and grief. Longitudinally, ANOVAs showed positive changes in burden and grief as well as decreased depression, global psychological distress and suppressed anger were maintained at 4‐month follow‐up. Present findings improve our understanding of the utility of the FC program for caregivers of people with BPD. The impact of depressive symptoms' reduction and being younger on perceived burden and grief highlight the importance of exploring additional possible moderators of outcomes in FC intervention.Trial Registration: NCT06076343; NCT06074289.

Translanguaging and culturally sustaining pedagogies: A mutually dependent relationship?
Authors: Beiler Ingrid Rodrick , Villacañas de Castro Luis S. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractTranslanguaging has increasingly been embraced in equity‐oriented research on foreign language teaching, yet with variable engagement with complex models of culture. In this article, we investigate the nexus of translanguaging and culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSP) as one response to this shortcoming. Extending previous research theoretically and contextually, our comparative case‐to‐case synthesis examines this nexus in English foreign language (EFL) teaching through ethnographic and participatory methods with students belonging to historically oppressed peoples in Europe, including Indigenous Sámi (Norway) and Roma (Spain) students, respectively. In the Norwegian case, student translanguaging demonstrated possibilities to shift English teaching toward CSP in a setting where such pedagogical practices were largely absent. In the Spanish case, the creativity favored by pedagogical translanguaging became essential for the students to expand their cultural perspectives and grow through English in an extracurricular implementation of CSP. Together, these cases demonstrate the mutual dependence of CSP and translanguaging.
Dimensions of communicative language teaching in online synchronous and face‐to‐face contexts: A comparison of student perceptions
Authors: Frimu Rodica , Issa Bernard Ibrahim 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis study compares learner perceptions in a synchronous online versus face‐to‐face (F2F) learning context about four principles of communicative language teaching (CLT): promoting collaborative learning, using comprehensible input, considering affective factors, and providing corrective feedback. Data were obtained via online surveys from students in F2F language classes (n = 330) and synchronous online language classes (n = 315). The results generally show high levels of agreement between the two groups with statements pertaining to the implementation of all four principles, suggesting that overall, participants perceived the two learning contexts to be similar to one another. However, results reveal that for particular dimensions of these principles, students in the two contexts disagreed (small to medium effect sizes), indicating depressed levels of agreement for learners in the online context. We discuss how these areas of disagreement serve as an opportunity for enhancement of the implementation of specific components of CLT in online synchronous settings.
An Integrative Spatial Framework and Co‐Design Toolkit to Measure and Visualize Multidimensional Poverty in the United States
Authors: Praharaj Sarbeswar 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTNearly 38 million people in the United States live in poverty. The Census Bureau's official poverty measure significantly undercounts poverty as it solely focuses on a minimum food diet and fails to account for the geographic variations in living costs. This article offers a geographically adaptive framework for combining multidimensional poverty indicators and modeling the locally adjusted costs of food, housing and utilities, healthcare, childcare, transportation, taxes, and other necessities to assess poverty and geographic inequality across neighborhoods and population sub‐groups. We employ a co‐design approach for developing the poverty assessment framework and evaluating the results with end users to ensure that communities can build trust and a sense of ownership that enhances the usability and actionability of poverty data. The datasets, quantitative frameworks, and algorithms were woven into an interactive geospatial dashboard toolkit for seamlessly integrating, cleaning, standardizing, and visually communicating the poverty metrics with a broad range of users. Results from this paper advance spatial data analyses and reproducible spatial model‐building methods that enable researchers to gain higher resolution, context‐specific, and geographically dynamic knowledge of poverty and inequalities.
Zircon U–Pb Dating of the Urahoro Group and Atsunai Formation in the Shiranuka Hills of Eastern Hokkaido, Northeast Japan: Implications for Tectonic Development
Authors: Takeshita Toru , Ito Hisatoshi , Kaji Hiromi 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTZircon U–Pb dates for detrital grains in the Shakubetsu Formation of the uppermost Eocene Urahoro Group and the Upper Miocene Atsunai Formation distributed in the eastern part of Hokkaido have been determined for the first time. Both weighted mean 48.8 ± 1.4 Ma (n = 80) for < 70 Ma zircons and youngest grain 36.5 + 1.8, −2.5 Ma (Middle to Late Eocene) ages of the Urahoro Group are consistent with the sedimentary ages and Paleogene magmatic arc origin of the detritus clarified in the previous studies. Although the Zircon U–Pb ages (n = 24) of the Atsunai Formation range between 5 and ~1700 Ma, a weighted mean age of 7.05 ± 0.57 Ma (n = 10) for < 10 Ma zircons (youngest cluster) could constrain the maximum sedimentary age, which is consistent with the previous ages from diatom biostratigraphy and K‐Ar method. However, while the K‐Ar age was obtained from an Ol‐Cpx‐Opx basalt in tuff breccia, the dated zircons were probably derived from felsic tuff including many pumice grains. Therefore, the bimodal volcanism could have occurred at c. 7 Ma in the present forearc region, indicating that the volcanic front at this age migrated south significantly, correlated to the one which also occurred coevally in the seaward side of the present volcanic front in the NE Japan arc. Further, it has been found that the eastern boundary of the Shiranuka Hills is characterized by an ESE verging, large‐scale monocline based on the present field study and previous geological maps. Since the Atsunai Formation was involved in the formation of the large‐scale monocline, the structure started to form after the sedimentation at c. 7 Ma. The fact implies that the ongoing collision of the Kuril forearc sliver with the NE Japan arc has propagated to this area since the latest Late Miocene.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effect of cue‐based feeding (CBF) on feeding outcomes in preterm infants.MethodsDatabases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were searched from the database's inception to November 2023. The literature screening and quality assessment were conducted by two researchers independently, and a meta‐analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4 software.ResultsA total of six randomised controlled trials and eight quasi‐experimental studies involving 2239 preterm infants were included. The results indicated that CBF was effective in shortening the time to achieve full oral feeding (Z = 22.32, p < 0.01) and reducing the incidence of feeding intolerance (Z = 2.18, p < 0.05). Compared with scheduled feeding (SF), CBF was found to enhance parental participation and satisfaction. Health professionals such as paediatricians, nurses and feeding specialists, highly agreed on the positive effects of CBF.ConclusionCue‐based feeding has the potential to shorten the time to achieve full oral feeding, reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance and promote parental involvement in feeding behaviour for preterm infants.Implications for PracticeCue‐based feeding is recommended for preterm infants, as it could enhance oral feeding competence, facilitate feeding progression and reduce the incidence of feeding complications.No Patient or Public ContributionOur paper is a systematic review and meta‐analysis, and such details do not apply to our work.Trial Registration: The detailed study protocol can be found on the PROSPERO website
My Child, Whose Emissions?

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe Moral Equivalence Thesis claims that procreation in affluent countries and eco‐gluttony are morally on a par, and that both are impermissible. We argue that this ambiguates between two different theses, the Strict and the Lax. On the Strict Reading of the thesis, procreation and eco‐gluttony are both wrong for the same reasons, that is, because both involve individuals overstepping their carbon budget. We argue that this is false at least with regard to a certain number of children and a range of the costs of children. By contrast, a Lax Reading of the thesis is, we think, defensible. On this reading, procreation and eco‐gluttony may both be wrong, but for different reasons and under different conditions. While eco‐gluttony is wrong across a range of ideal and non‐ideal conditions because it is a failure to live within one's fair carbon budget, having a child is only wrong, if it is wrong, under non‐ideal conditions where prospective parents have weighty reasons, or an obligation, to pick up the moral slack of others.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundHealth outcomes of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Intellectual Disability are poor. Yet there is a paucity of nurse education and preparation to care for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability.MethodA cross sectional survey of Australian Registered Nurses related to their educational experience, awareness of the national disability support scheme and the concept of making reasonable adjustments.ResultsThe majority of Australian Registered Nurses did not experience undergraduate content related to caring for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Intellectual Disability. Few participants experienced a dedicated clinical placement. Just over one half of the participants were aware of reasonable adjustments. Continuing professional education was significantly related to a greater awareness of reasonable adjustments and less ambivalence.ConclusionEducation plays a key role in promoting awareness and reducing ambivalence. Education focussed on understanding the diversity in the particular types of neurodiversity is particularly efficacious.

Authors: Corrigan Stephanie , McCarron Mary , McCallion Philip , Burke Éilish 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundNegative mental health implications of menopause found in the general population, combined with high rates of mental health conditions found in women with intellectual disabilities, provide rationale to examine the existing literature to determine the impact of menopause on women with intellectual disabilities.MethodsThe review was conducted using scoping review methodology by Arksey and O'Malley. A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases. Relevant articles were screened according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis was utilised to identify themes.ResultsAfter screening, eight articles satisfied the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and after thematic analysis, themes found were: changes in mood, lack of reporting of psychological symptoms and difficulty attributing psychological symptoms to menopause.ConclusionsFindings indicate the paucity of literature and the lack of attention paid to examining the impact of menopause on the experiences and mental health of women with intellectual disabilities.

ABSTRACTIntroductionA gluten‐free (GF) diet, the only treatment for people living with coeliac disease (CD), is challenging, and international guidelines highlight the valuable role of healthcare professionals in enabling self‐management. The study aimed to explore the acceptability of telephone and online video consultations for adults with CD.MethodsA cross‐sectional study consisting of an online and paper survey was promoted to adults with CD.ResultsData from 496 adults with CD (87% female, 96% White) are presented, and 44% were adhering to the GF diet. Over half (58%) were very confident in understanding food labels from supermarkets, whereas only 38% were very confident when shopping online. The largest proportion of patients preferred in‐person healthcare appointments for CD (44%), with 20% reporting no preference and 21% preferring telephone appointments. Only 15% preferred online video consultations; of these, 97% were confident with online technology. A higher proportion of patients from a lower household income requested ‘in‐person’ appointments compared with those with a higher income (65% vs. 45% (p < 0.01)). Likewise, 58% of patients without a degree qualification requested ‘in‐person’ appointments compared with 45% of degree‐educated patients (p = 0.027).ConclusionsWe highlight a significant proportion of adults with CD prefer an in‐person appointment. The paper survey enabled the views of a broader range of digitally confident patients to contribute to the study. With a global shift towards telemedicine and online resources, access and digital literacy is an important consideration for equitable healthcare to optimize patient self‐management of the GF diet.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundIt has been observed that methyltransferases‐like 5 (METTL5) is a key mediator underlying tumorigenesis in humans. This study aimed to investigate the biological function, expression pattern, and clinical significance of METTL5 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).MethodsBioinformatics interrogations and immunohistochemical staining were utilized for determining the expression and localization of METTL5 in OSCC, and revealing the relationship between the expression of METTL5 and prognosis. Cell phenotype experiments and xenograft models were used to detect the impact of METTL5 silencing on OSCC. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, Spearman correlation, and c‐Myc overexpression plasmid was utilized for exploring the regulatory effects of METTL5 on the Myc pathway.ResultsMETTL5 was overexpressed in OSCC and correlated with reduced survival. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were significantly inhibited by METTL5 knockdown in vitro, and tumor growth was impaired in vivo. Moreover, METTL5 was capable of activating the Myc pathway. The influences of knockdown of METTL5 on Cal27 cell biological behaviors were reversed by overexpression of c‐Myc.ConclusionsOur data suggested that METTL5 may act as a putative oncogene and prognostic biomarker in OSCC. The Myc pathway appears to be involved in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis in OSCC mediated by METTL5.

AbstractPurposeFeeding plates for cleft palate patients have been used by clinicians for many years to temporarily close the oro‐nasal communication until definitive treatment with surgical techniques. The current in vitro study aimed to evaluate the adaptation of the feeding plates manufactured by two different techniques for three cleft types.Materials and MethodsFeeding plates were manufactured with conventional compression molding (CM) and 3‐dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing on main models representing bilateral cleft, unilateral right, and unilateral left cleft types (n = 10). The 3D volumetric space between the feeding plate and the corresponding main model was measured by micro‐CT to evaluate the adaptation. The adaptation of the plates was assessed based on three different measurement regions: anterior, left, and right. Repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), three factorial ANOVA, and post hoc Bonferroni tests were used as statistical analysis (α = 0.05).ResultsCM groups showed higher volumetric space measurements between the base and master model than 3D groups regardless of measurement region and cleft type, which refers to misfit (p ˂ 0.05). Cleft type differed in the adaptation of 3D groups yet not in CM groups (p ˂ 0.05). The volumetric space evaluation for the right measurement region resulted in higher values regardless of manufacturing method and cleft type (p ˂ 0.05).ConclusionConsidering that 3D‐printed feeding plates showed better adaptation compared to conventionally manufactured plates for all cleft types, 3D printing can be suggested as the manufacturing method of choice for feeding plates.
The asymmetry engine: how plants harness asymmetries to shape their bodies
Authors: Jonsson Kristoffer , Routier‐Kierzkowska Anne‐Lise , Bhalerao Rishikesh P. 
Published: January 2025

SummaryPlant development depends on growth asymmetry to establish body plans and adapt to environmental stimuli. We explore how plants initiate, propagate, and regulate organ‐wide growth asymmetries. External cues, such as light and gravity, and internal signals, including stochastic cellular growth variability, drive these asymmetries. The plant hormone auxin orchestrates growth asymmetry through its distribution and transport. Mechanochemical feedback loops, exemplified by apical hook formation, further amplify growth asymmetries, illustrating the dynamic interplay between biochemical signals and physical forces. Growth asymmetry itself can serve as a continuous cue, influencing subsequent growth decisions. By examining specific cellular programs and their responses to asymmetric cues, we propose that the decision to either amplify or dampen these asymmetries is key to shaping plant organs.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe overall goal of this paper is to enhance the understanding and measurement of loneliness by identifying key experiential characteristics of loneliness in children and adolescents, and determine whether there is a need for refined assessment tools that accurately capture that experience. In Study 1, we synthesized the qualitative research on the child and youth experience of loneliness and found shared characteristics of loneliness, with some differences related to developmental changes (e.g., understanding of contexts influencing the experience of loneliness). In Study 2, we reviewed the items from loneliness questionnaires for children and youth and found they do not fully capture the affective dimension of loneliness, that is, the breadth of emotions associated with loneliness. That gap could lead to an incomplete understanding of the phenomenon, potentially undermining the validity of research findings and the effectiveness of interventions designed to alleviate loneliness because they underplay the distress of the experience for children and young people. Addressing this shortcoming should include the development and/or refinement of measurements of loneliness for children and youth, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of loneliness assessments.

AbstractLoneliness has detrimental physical and mental health outcomes. To date, there are few studies on loneliness interventions in lower‐resource settings. Based on participatory action research methods that are theoretically informed by the social relationship expectations framework, we developed a loneliness intervention called amanane using the photovoice method with older Myanmar migrants in northern Thailand. The aim of our study was to test the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of photovoice as an intervention for lonely older adults. Over 6 weeks, we coproduced 5 weekly workshops, individual interviews, and a photo exhibition with an older Myanmar migrant cofacilitator and nine participants (57–82 years old). The workshops focused on older people's care provisions. The qualitative evaluation entailed group discussions, interviews, and videos. Results indicated a perfect completion rate and high acceptability. Participants reported a reduction in loneliness due to opening up to each other through photography, feeling united despite cultural differences, and feeling valued by visitors attending the photo exhibition. Overall, photovoice may be a promising intervention for lonely older adults and has the potential to be tested in larger trials across diverse settings.
